Candyland?

[themanoftomorrow]

Heavy footfalls resounded through the halls of the Fortress of Solitude, the cavernous halls of the building magnifying the sound. They sped up as Superman felt something was just a bit off, and when he entered the main hall he stopped and stared. The gigantic memorial of Krypton, supported by statues of Jor-El and Lara, his long dead parents, had been replaced…

By a gigantic jawbreaker being held aloft by peanut brittle likenesses of his parents.

“What,” he all but shouted, looking around the room for intruders. And it was then that it hit him. It wasn’t just the memorial, it was the entire fortress. The ice caverns had mysteriously changed into translucent rock candy, the chairs were constructed entirely out of solid peppermint, and there were boxes upon boxes of sweets of all shapes and sizes all over the floor, stacked neatly into every open space.

“…What’s going on here?”

He had to be dreaming. There really couldn’t be any other explanation, but then again maybe Mr. Mxyzptlk was up to his old tricks…

"Only if you insist, chief. If it ain't magic, I'd be more afeared ta eat somethin' an' misplace it forever. What if this key here doesn't come back?" He plucked one of the computer keys out of its socket on the panel. He was sure it tasted as good as it smelled, which was wonderful to a chipmunk no doubt.

"Can I try that chocolate?" He did give in anyhow; if Clark was offering then it must be okay to eat the candy-fied fortress in theory, but not without returning the computer key back to its previous fixture.
