This one has to be for Dannell, since it's her fault I kept going.

The wheelchair floated into the air and flowed out of its natural shape. Still hanging off the floor, it began undergoing various transformations. From the twisted metal of her cage came the most beautiful sights.
The skyline of Gotham at night, before NML.
Their beach in Hawaii, metal waves frozen as they lapped
against metal sand.
A single rose, which he plucked from the air and handed to
her with a flourish.
His own image flying through the air, cape flapping about
his metallic costume.
Her image joining him.
The two metal representatives joining hands and sailing
through the apartment to stop expectantly at the window.
Laughing gleefully, she took the hint and placed her hand
trustingly in his. He lifted her gently
from her berth on the couch and carried her to the window, opening the metal
latch with a quirk of his mind.
He stepped out, summoning his power to stabilize them, and
opened his arms. She hovered in front
of him, supported in mid-air by the electromagnetic forces he controlled. She tried to keep her face under control,
but could not disguise in her eyes the joy she felt every time he gave her back
the skies.
She floated closer to him, running her fingers through his
thick white hair, and whispered in his ear, "I love you, Erik."
