Above the planet on a wing and a prayer [Open]

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

It had been ages since he felt earth under his feet, and a sky overhead. A real one. Not like the flights over the city or even in the Sensoriums. Nathan breathed in deep, relishing the feel of the wind on his face. He could see some of the crew milling about, looking to shop or stock up on supplies. There were a few things he wanted. Some suits eventually, he had a feeling he'd need them to look professional soon. Things were shaping up and power was shifting. An election was coming up and he wanted to be prepared.

But right now. Now. He felt pressed in, even as large as the ship was, it was still finite. Granted so was this planet, but it was different. Weather patterns, air, more like home. He then shot up into the air, and took to flight. God it felt damn good to just let go. He wouldn't be surprised if others with flying ability felt the same way. The warm beat of sunlight, the air trailing over him as a boom sounded across the sky.

There was someone else in the sky, wanting to enjoy every last minute of it.

It felt wonderful to fly through the sky again. Not only that, but also be at full power. For Superman, even just for a moment? He just wanted to cut loose and fly through the sky.

Thankfully, he opted for normal clothes over his usual costume - he'd probably get yelled at for wearing work clothes on a vacation.

Nathan noticed the familiar figure, and swooped closer, keeping speed.

"About time we got to cut loose, right?"

"I agree." Superman said, acknowledging Nathan. "It's been... confining being inside that ship for so long. Especially as long as I have."

Nathan nodded, "Me too. It's not the same."

He glanced upward, "Almost forgot what a sky looks like, what it feels like. Haven't seen a real one since I woke up all those months ago. Hell year maybe two."
