"I don't think so," said Superman mildly, looking down at the plans. "Fortress of Solitude, remember?"
:D

Superman was still looking down at the table, a very slight smile on his face. "Oh, I have no intention of it," he murmured.
Of course he doesn’t have. :) (And I liked the smile. :))

"I still can't believe you had a space capsule sitting around," Superman said as the door hissed open and Batman stepped out.
"Doesn't everyone?"
Ha-Ha.Nice! :D

"And see, it turned out it was a good thing, too."
True!

"I wasn't sure I'd ever live to see the Earth from space, and now here I am with my alien boyfriend--my alien boyfriend from Kansas,"
Alien boyfriend from Kansas - :LOL

"Let me show you the cities."
Ahem, after the kiss, seeing the beginning of the sentence (“let me show you...”) my mind went to weird places (I confess - nothing similar the cities :D).

Clark laughed. "I'm still working on a way to code the psionicloth to human genetics, by the way. Once I get that working you can have a suit made from it, if you like."
WOW! (Yes, matching suits - sounds awesome :)).

Clark shook his head as he adjusted one of the screens. "He's gone to ground, and I'm pretty sure he won't be showing his face for a while, now that the Justice League is active. Maybe he won't bother us again."
Oh, I’m afraid Clark’s not quite right about Lex not bothering them again. :(

Bruce's snort showed his opinion about that possibility.
Bruce sees it well. :)

"Bats aren't birds," Bruce pointed out.
"Close enough," Clark retorted, nuzzling his neck, and Bruce decided to concede the point.
:DD

"Clark, any date set on a spaceship looking down at Earth is by definition not mundane.
Absolutely. :)

A small robot scurried around to the front of the couch, holding aloft the burned pizza like the Olympic flame.
YAY, I liked the mention of the Olympic flame (reminds me London :)).

Superman and Batman ate pizza, watched television, and kept an eye on the Earth, and for a few hours the Fortress of Solitude was anything but.
I LOVED the ending! They two eating pizza, watching TV and just enjoying each other’s presence - it was great!

I’m really sad that it was the last chapter of the awesome series. I enjoyed every new update so much. You did an excellent job with Bruce and Clark's characters and the development of their relationship! Thank you so much for sharing this. :)

*grin* Bruce having a spare space capsule around hit me as a funny--but rather plausible--thing! It can be fun to write someone so wealthy they can take things like that for granted...

"Let me show you..." I suspect he'll be showing Bruce something more along your thoughts soon enough! :)

The matching suits idea hit me because their suits already look so similar in the reboot, with the same kinds of funny lines and seams, you know? I like the idea that maybe they really are matching on purpose, not just by accident!

I was really happy to write that ending, because they hadn't had much time to be domestic in this story, had they? I like the cozy/strange mix that they can have sometimes... :)
