*I do not own any of the characters of krypto the superdog I only own the oc characters.* *Anyways please read and review.*
There was a woman who was nearly crying in her car. In the back-seat, she had her twin children, a boy and a girl. They were both staring out the window as their mother was driving along. She had hoped they fell asleep on the way, but they had been driving for so long that they were anxious to get to wherever they were going.
"Mama, are we there yet?" the girl asked.
The woman sighed, then smiled the best she could, but still looked miserable. "I'll let you know when we're finally there, sweetie..."
"Okay..." the girl said softly as she looked out the window again, clutching her doll.
"Mama where are we going again?" The boy asked forgetting of where they were going.
The woman heaved a sigh, she looked like she wanted to cry, but she stayed brave for the sake of her children. "Metropolis... I'm sure you two will like it better here than a home."
"Why can't we go home, Mama?" the girl frowned.
The woman didn't answer her question, she couldn't tell them the truth.
"Well at least we will make some friends here hopefully." The boy said.
"I hope so, dears..." the woman said, shaking a little.
Her twins were silent for the rest of the trip until they got to a house with the name WHITNEY on the mailbox.
The woman let her kids get out of the car. "Don't forget your envelope, dears."
"Yes, Mama..." the girl said as she took the envelope, getting her backpack and her brother's backpack as they got out of the car.
"Be sure to call me when you can..." the woman hugged her twins tightly and quickly. "I'll miss you very much..." she said softly, then went to get back in the car and she started to back out of the driveway as her twins were at the front door alone and she drove off.
She had to this. It was the best she could do.
"Well we better get inside." The boy said to his twin sister.
"Yeah." The girl said to him.
They both then went to the front door and knocked on it and then waited for someone to answer.
"Remember, Mom said they have a dog..." the girl said to her brother.
There were footsteps heard from behind the door and a brown-haired woman in pink arrived to the door and opened it, she looked a little surprised to see the twins, alone and no one with them.
"Can I help you two?" she asked, trying to be friendly enough.
"Um mom said that this is where we would be staying we have the envelope." The girl said.
The woman took the envelope and read it aloud. "'Dear sir or ma'am, I apologize for not being there to drop off my twin children, Christopher and Zoe, but I had to leave as soon as possible. My childrens' father was not a very good man and I had to look for my brother, but I was unable to find him. Please take very good of my children, they love animals and would like to try to go into school. They have my number if they want to call me and I will be there when it is safe enough. Best regards, Zenobia'." she then put the letter down and looked curiously down to the twins. "Well... I guess you two can come in... My name is Mary Whitney, but you'll call me Mrs. Whitney."
The twins grabbed their bags and followed the woman inside her house.
"Pleased to meet you mam." Christopher said while following mary.
"Do you two know where your mother went?" Mary asked them.
"She wouldn't tell us..." Zoe shrugged.
"Well, let's hope we all get along..." Mary said softly, she went to take them to a guest room to help get them settled.
Christopher and Zoe looked around, it looked like the woman had at least a couple of kids, there was a bedroom that was like a typical boys room with comic books and action figures while there was dolls and a crib in a pink bedroom.
"Looks like we might make two friends in metropolis I just hope we get to meet superdog." Christopher said.
The boy seemed to have become a fan of superdog.
"Superdog's a big deal around here," Mary said with a smile, she decided to help them unpack. "Maybe you'll get lucky sometime."
The front door was heard opening. "Honey, we're back!" a male voice was heard.
"Excuse me, you two." Mary told the twins before going downstairs to meet her husband and children.
Zoe had her clothes unpacked. "Do you think Mom will be able to find our uncle and take us back home?"
"I don't know zoe." Christopher told his twin sister.
Zoe and Christopher then continued to unpack, Zoe rubbed her cheek a little, it had been hit by someone or something, but she wouldn't tell anyone else about it who wasn't her brother or mother.
"We have guests," Mary told her family as she took the toddler girl to get to sleep. "They're upstairs now. I don't know how old they are, but they seem around Kevin's age."
"Well that's great to know so how long will they be staying?" Her husband asked.
"I don't know... Their mother said in the letter that she would be back as soon as she would find her brother... She signed it as Zenobia... I don't know anyone with that name..." Mary said softly as she carried their baby girl. "She didn't even leave a surname."
Kevin already went upstairs, maybe he should get to know their guests a little better.
Christopher was now done unpacking and looked outside to the backyard and saw a dog house.
"I just hope that things get better." Christopher said.
"Me too..." Zoe said softly, she also saw the dog. "He looks familiar..."
"Must be Superdog." Christopher shrugged.
Kevin knocked on the wall of the room, making the twins look at him. "Hello... My name's Kevin... My mom says you're gonna be here for a little while?"
"Yeah I'm christopher and this is my twin sister zoe." Christopher said as he gestured to his sister.
Zoe smiled and waved a little shyly.
"Welcome, I guess," Kevin shrugged with a smile. "I have a two-year-old sister named Melanie, but she's going to sleep now... Are you guys new to Metropolis?"
"Yeah..." the twins told him with a nod each.
"Do you guys go to school?" Kevin asked.
The twins actually looked confused, almost as though they didn't know what a school was.
"What's a school?" The twins asked in unison.
Kevin glanced at them, a little surprised. "Um... You know... A place where you go to learn, play, and make friends... How do you not know what a school is?"
Christopher and Zoe shrugged.
"Well, maybe you'll get to go to my school," Kevin said with a smile, then shrugged. "Maybe..."
The white dog with a yellow collar walked in with a smile.
"Hi Krypto," Kevin greeted his dog friend, hugging him. "This is my dog, his name is Krypto."
Krypto smiled at the twins, then blinked, he sniffed them and circled around them, he didn't growl or bark at them, but they seemed familiar to him somehow. The twins looked to Krypto the same way.
Kevin was left alone in the dark, unsure of what was happening, but he shrugged it off. "So, anything you guys wanna know about Metropolis?"
"Where does superdog live?" Christopher asked.
Krypto seemed a little surprised by that question.
"I heard he lives with the Dog Patrol Squad," Kevin said, rather quickly. "They're superpowered dogs who help save the world from villains like Mechanikat, Isis, or that iguana."
Krypto seemed to nod in relief then.
"I wonder where their hideout would be..." Zoe said softly.
Mary came back from putting her toddler daughter to sleep, then came in the room with a smile. "I see you're all getting along nicely."
"Yeah Mom, so far." Kevin smiled to her.
Christopher then felt like he was ready to sneeze.
"Uh oh sis I'm about to sneeze." Christopher whispered to his twin sister. "Distract them."
"I'll try my best." Zoe whispered back before going to distract nicole kevin and krypto.
While they were distracted christopher opened the window sticking his head out the window.
"Achoo!" Christopher said.
His sneeze seemed to blow all the leaves on the tree away telling you one thing that both he and his sister must have been kryptonian.
"Bless you." Mary heard the sneeze.
"Um... Thank you..." Christopher said, luckily no one saw that.
At least they thought no one did, Krypto seemed to notice it.
"What would you two like for dinner?" Mary asked with a friendly smile.
"Steak!" Christopher cheered. "And also some broccoli."
"A turkey sandwich for me please." Zoe said.
"I'll see what I can do." Mary said with a smile, then went to go downstairs.
"STREAKY! YOU GOT LEAVES IN YOUR FUR!" a sharp female voice was heard from next door.
"What was that?" Zoe jolted from the sudden yelling.
"That's just Andrea," Kevin said, not sounding very happy. "She lives next door and goes to school with me."
"Wait next door?" Christopher asked with widened eyes.
'uh oh.' The twins thought in unison.
"Are you guys okay?" Kevin glanced at the twins.
"Kevin, could you come down here a minute?" the boy's father called.
"Coming, Dad!" Kevin called back, then looked to the twins. "I'll be right back, guys..." he said before leaving the guest room.
Krypto looked at the twins and still sniffed them. "These two sure smell familiar..." he seemed to speak, but to anyone else around him, it would sound like crude barking.
But to his surprise christopher and zoe were able to understand him.
"Um krypto did you just say something?" Christopher asked the white labrador.
Krypto was a little surprised. "Why, yes, I did... You two look familiar... What'd you say your names were?"
"Christopher and Zoeyesha, but I like to be called Zoe," the girl twin explained after giving their names. "Our mother's name is Zenobia..."
Krypto gave them a look. "My old boy had a sister named Zenobia..."
"Wait you mean superman? No way that means that our mom is your old owner's sister." Christopher said excitedly.
"I thought you seemed familiar..." Krypto said to them. "I thought you two were at the Intergalactic Institute."
"We had to leave," Zoe explained. "Mom found out that Dad had been working with Lex Luthor and we had to get away. We came to Earth while we were sleeping and we woke up in a car with our mom... Does Uncle Kal-El know you're here?"
"Yes..." Krypto nodded. "He was looking for me at first, but he decided Kevin would be a better owner to me, plus Kevin's not a crime-fighting superhero, so we got more time for each other when I'm not the one saving the day."
"I wonder if Mom brought us here on purpose then, she told us to make sure we would meet the pet of the family." Christopher remembered.
"You know what chris I bet mom did drop us here on purpose." Zoe said.
"Oh this is so exciting." Christopher said.
"Don't tell anyone, Krypto?" Zoe begged the super dog.
"Trust me, I know all about secrets," Krypto smiled. "And also, our home is your home, so make yourselves at home."
"Thank you, Krypto." the twins said to their long-lost uncle's dog, they now hoped their mother would be able to find their uncle.
"Who else went to your institute?" Krypto then asked.
"A lot of apprentices for heroes and villains all over," Christopher explained. "Even Batman's daughter."
Krypto was surprised, he never knew that Batman was even married. "When did that happen?"
"He met a young woman named Demi who used to be in the Arkan Prison with the Joker, Harley Quinn, and their daughter Sarah, but they eventually got married and had a daughter." Zoe explained.
"Wow." Krypto said.
"Yeah we tried to make friends with them but we were too nervous and shy and kind of always accidentally crushed or destroyed anything leaned on with unknowingly with all our strength." Christopher said.
"I understand, your uncle was a little rusty with his strength once he got old enough to use it," Krypto smiled gently to them. "Just make sure no one finds out who you two really are."
"Thanks for your help, Krypto." Zoe smiled.
"Oh, and by the way, Melanie knows who I am too, but she's only two, so you won't get in trouble if she accidentally finds out." Krypto assured them, gesturing to the sleeping toddler.
"Okay thanks for the info wait does kevin and his parents know?" Christopher asked.
"Just Kevin, his parents don't know." Krypto said.
Kevin came back upstairs, looking a little glum, but he forced himself to smile to be nice to the twins. "Krypto's a great dog, huh?"
"It's okay, Kevin, we know he's really Superdog." Zoe said, shutting the door so no one would listen in.
"You do?" Kevin asked, surprised.
Christopher and Zoe nodded.
"You told them?" Kevin gasped at his dog.
"Their uncle is actually Superman." Krypto explained why he told them.
"It's true oh and it was my fault that those leaves ended up on streaky." Christopher said sheepishly.
Kevin shrugged and had a small smile.
"So, what's got you down, Kevin?" Krypto asked, referring to how unhappy the boy seemed when he came back into the room.
Kevin sighed, then sat on the bed, looking miserable already. "Guess who's coming over during break next week?"
"Cousin Bailey?" Krypto asked, rolling his eyes slightly.
Kevin gave a nod.
"Who's cousin bailey?" The twins asked in unison.
"My cousin," Kevin looked to them. "Not only is he a bully, but he found out that Krypto's Superdog, luckily, we haven't been able to let anyone believe him, but he'll never quit. Who knows what he'd do if he found out you guys were related to Superman?"
"We won't let him..." Zoe sounded determined.
"Yeah, we'll have to work together." Christopher added in, agreeing.
"Great." Kevin said.
"Kevin Zoe Christopher the food's ready!" Nicole called out to the kids.
"Oh, boy, dinner!" Kevin smiled as he went to show the twins to the dining room.
Brian Whitney came upstairs briefly to pick up Melanie from her nap and allow her to join dinner with them.
"I hope you enjoy it." Mary smiled at the twins, talking more to them about dinner, since Kevin lived here after all.
"I'm sure we will mam." Christopher said.
Mary allowed them to help themselves while she would feed Melanie.
Melanie cooed and babbled as she was fed.
Brian decided to help the kids get their dinner.
"Thank you sir." Christopher said.
Brian smiled at the kids. "It's no trouble."
Zoe, Christopher, and Kevin soon had all their food and they ate all together.
"So, do you two have any hobbies?" Mary asked the twins, she wanted to get to know them better too.
"I exercise a lot everyday and I mean like much more then other kids our age exercise I can also dance and sing." Christopher said.
"I can same with me though I don't exercise as much as christopher." Zoe said.
"That sounds nice, maybe you, Kevin and Melanie can all play together sometime." Nicole said.
Melanie giggled and played with her food rather than eating it.
"We'd like that very much mam." The twins said in unison.
Mary smiled as she kept feeding her younger child.
"So, umm... Where did you kids come from?" Brian asked
Christopher and Zoe were lost for words, they couldn't tell him the truth, could they?
"They're from Crown City," Kevin said quickly, helping the twins out. "Right, guys?"
"Umm... Yeah!" Christopher said, even if he didn't know what that place was.
"W-We are!"
"Uh-huh!" Zoe added with a nod.
"Wow nice city." Brian said.
"We just hope that we'll actually get some friends in metropolis unlike back at home." Christopher said.
"Oh, you poor things..." Mary frowned once she heard they didn't have friends back home. "Well, you have Kevin and Melanie now... There's also that little Andrea Sussman next door."
"Yeah I think I heard her outside complaining that some leaves got on her cat named streaky." Zoe said.
Kevin rolled his eyes slightly, Andrea was such a drama queen.
The rest of the dinner went great after the dinner was over christopher went to the living room and started to do push ups.
Zoe decided to read one of Kevin's comic books and he sat with her to explain some things.
Brian and Mary went to talk in private, so Melanie was in the living room with the other kids, playing ball with Krypto.
After a while christopher got up from his exercise and hoped that it was time for bed soon.
"Kippo!" Melanie giggled as she played with the white Labrador.
Krypto smiled and played with the toddler happily.
"So Batman has a daughter now?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah," Zoe said softly. "I don't know her name though... She usually drifted in the shadows like a loner..."
"Yeah she always seemed to go off on her own." Christopher said.
"I can't wait to fight side by side with krypto." Christopher thought.
About a few minutes later, Brian and Mary came inside to take the kids to bed.
Mary picked up Melanie who pouted about going to bed, but nearly fell asleep once she got into her mother's arms. "Christopher, Zoe, you should sleep very well tonight, you've had a big and busy day."
"Yeah we really have." Christopher said with a yawn.
Zoe could hardly keep her eyes open.
"Come on, I'll take you to bed." Mary said quietly and gently as she carried Melanie to go upstairs with her.
"Thank you mam." Christopher said.
Mary went to put Melanie to sleep, then went to check on Christopher and Zoe.
"Good night, you two." Mary said.
"Thanks, Mrs. Whitney..." the twins said as they started to fall asleep.
Mary smiled, she went to shut the window until suddenly the power cut out and there was a glowing red light shown. Christopher and Zoe looked in the distance of the window and saw something falling down from the sky.
"A falling star!" the twins gasped.
The object kept falling down and seemed to explode in the distance.
"WE CALLED IT!" Zoe raised her hand, then gently got the woman out of the door. "Get out, get out, we have to make our wishes!"
"Okay, okay, you can make a wish, then it's straight to bed," Mary chuckled as she went to the door. "Sweet dreams." she told them before shutting the door behind her.
"Wait I thought it was a shooting star that we had to make a wish?" Christopher said out of confusion.
Zoe gave him a look. "What are you confused about?" she asked once the power quickly came back on.
"I don't think that was a falling star I think something crashed down to earth." Christopher said flying out the window.
"Whatever..." Zoe shrugged, she then put her hands together, bowed her head and shut her eyes to make a prayer of a wish.
Christopher just rolled his eyes and was about to fly off to find out if he was right when krypto blocked his path.
*Will krypto let christopher go and see what that crashing object really was? Or will they have to wait until morning to find out what it was? Find out next time on chapter 2.*
