The brief exploration of the team's dynamics and the schism that seems to exist is fascinating. I would be really interested to see you write a whole fic around that idea and the reasons behind it and the implications and repercussions of it.

The very last thing he remembered before his vision faded to black was realizing, wonderingly, that Batman had taken off his gauntlets, and that his hands-his hands-were…

I LOVE the way you've ended it, here. Clark's bewilderment and awe at having Clark's bare hands on him is incredibly powerful, and you evoke the emotions beautifully.

Thank you! I didn't want to *dwell* on the individual incidents or drag the story out too long (I would have never finished it if I had) but I wanted to find small ways of conveying what is happening between the guys. I'm glad that worked, more or less. ;)

This is the best of any ship, those moments of budding love that you know will lead to more. Like the sun rising.

You satisfy me.

I felt bad with this story because I have Bruce being so mean and unreasonable, but I'm glad you're enjoying the angst...

:hugs:

I'm with Ladybugkay on wondering about the team dynamics here. Interesting that Bruce would seem to discount J'onn, Kyle, and Clark all the same. But then, maybe it has to do with Clark being friends with the other two. Of course, that doesn't explain Diana. Hmmm... Something to ponder.

In any case, the end of this part has me gasping. 'Cuz I want to know what else happened! O_O Argh!

On to the next. :p
