Note; I don't own any of the Superman, Last days of Krypton, Krypto the Superdog or other related characters. They're all property of Warner Bros, Kevin J. Anderson and DC comics. Keep in mind this is just a prologue. But here it goes. Takes place within the timeline of my other story "Half & half"

It was mild fall day in September; leaves had started to change color and Canadian geese and other birds started to migrate south for the winter. Several people in Metropolis had already switched over from T-shirts to sweaters. At the Daily planet, things were surprisingly quiet for a change. Perry announced that it would only be a half day of work due to repair jobs that had to be made to the street. While Alice, Steve Lombard and Loueen had left with everyone else, Lois, Clark and Jimmy stayed behind. Lois was putting the final touches on Krypto's guest appearance for the Metropolis animal shelter adoption fair.

Meanwhile, Kara was looking at a copy of an autobiography written by a certain brown eyed female Kryptonian.

"So you wrote your own autobiography, eh?" she asked,

"Yes" was the reply she got back from Ursa. Over the last few weeks she had formed a bit of truce between Clark, Kara, etc…so far it seemed to be holding up.

Lois overhead the duo's conversation, "You did a nice job" she added. Lois had read the autobiography Ursa had written.

Nancy came in the room snickering,

"Alright who's the bald guy on page 187?" she asked.

Ursa smiled, "Look out the window" she answered. The four females all went over to a nearby window, "Wait for it" said Ursa.

The wind had picked up outside and Lex Luthor's wig came off. "Hey!" he exclaimed.

At that moment, Lois, Ursa, Nancy and Kara all started laughing.

"He really is bald, I have been telling Loueen that for weeks" Lois explained once she stopped laughing.

"Now you got proof" said Jimmy who held up a photo of Lex without his wig.

"I'm gonna send this to Time magazine, they're doing a top 10 most embarrassing celebrity moments issue…folks who send in a good photo get 500 bucks if they're picture is chosen" Jimmy explained.

"Whoa….you uh…got any funny pictures of Superman?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah, here's one of Krypto licking his face" Jimmy answered as he showed the group a picture of Krypto licking Superman at the adoption fair. It wasn't long before everyone started laughing again.

Later that day in the employee's lounge…

(Ok this where it gets interesting and funny)

"What are you doing?" Ursa asked.

"I'm fast-forwarding to the part where we come in" Zod answered, the two of them were currently watching a movie in the lounge.

"You can't do that" Ursa continued,

"On the contrary, I've got the remote" Zod pointed out.

"Gimme that!" Ursa exclaimed she and Zod struggled on the couch until the light-switch was flipped on.

"Hey!" the two of them shouted.

"What are you doing?" Lex asked,

"Watching the movie" Zod answered.

"Again?" was Superman's response. He and Lex stood by the door way of the room with Non.

"Just the part where we come in" Zod continued,

"Not a lot of people know about us" Ursa added, regarding their background.

"Well, since you seem so eager to share, why not tell your side of the story?" Lex suggested.

"Yes! Sort of like, a behind the scenes look" said Zod,

"The stuff that we know, but they don't" Ursa added.

"So, I guess you won't be needing me then" Superman continued.

"Oh on, we will, just later…come 'on, Lex" said Ursa who grabbed his right arm and handed him to Non.

"What the…? Superman, help!" Lex exclaimed.

"Have fun, Luthor" he called out.

"Nooo!" Lex yelled as Non dragged him by his suit jacket.

That afternoon…

"You thought of getting this published?" Lois asked, as she looked through the pages of Ursa's autobiography.

"I did, but about 5 publishing companies rejected Zod's" Ursa replied,

Lois managed to suppress a laugh "I can think of a few reasons why" she answered. Lucy got an idea after hearing this.

"Maybe you could tell us a bit more about your life on Krypton" she added.

Ursa grinned for a moment, "Sounds ok to me, what do you think, Zod?" she continued.

"Sure, go ahead" was his reply,

"We'll iron out the details" Kala offered,

"Go ahead" said Ursa.

"Wha…?" Zod sputtered,

"They're our friends, stop it" Ursa said through her teeth.

Zor-El and Kala were both visiting from Argo city. So far, they had adjusted to life in Metropolis which wasn't so easy.

"This is so cool!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Well, don't let me hold you up….I'll see you good folks later" said Jimmy. Just then Zod grabbed him by his argyle shirt and tugged. Jimmy let out a surprised yell and quickly sat back down afterwards.

"Make yourself comfortable, James" Zod told him.

"Aw shucks" the young red head muttered.

Ursa sighed "Now where to start is another story" she continued.

"I think I can help with that" said Jor-El,

"Er…better leave that to me, son" Yar-El insisted.

It wasn't long before Ursa got into it; she often tried to dodge an argument if she could. Finding out Jor-El, Lara and other people she knew had wound up in Argo city was a shock. Though it took her some time to recover from the whole thing she seemed to be ok with it now.

"Look guys, how about we start off telling our own sides then the next person can…" Ursa was cut off.

"Finish where the other dropped off" Zor-El finished for her.

"Exactly" was Ursa's response.

Jor-El and Yar-El looked at each other then back at Ursa.

"Sounds good to me" Jor-El answered.

"Great, let's hear it" said Lois.

"Alright…first…" Ursa stopped short…

"It all started on a warm August day back on Krypton…" Jor-El started to say.

Lois, Clark and everyone else leaned foreword to listen; it was obvious they were somewhat eager and excited.

"Um…could you scoot over?" Jor-El asked his brother. Zor-El didn't say anything and simply moved over, Jor-El then sat down.

"Thank you, now…" as Jor-El went on to explain Jimmy glanced over at Lucy.

"This'll be something to tell Perry" he whispered.

"I'll say" Lucy agreed,

"Quiet you guys, let's listen" said Kara.

"Anyway… it was an interesting day but little did we know…" Jor-El stopped short…

"It would change or lives forever" Zypto finished for him.

Clark and the others sat there and listened it was going to be a long afternoon…

More to come…

This is just the prologue any gaps from here will be filled later on. Anyway here's a list of references:

Employee's lounge scenes –Based on similar part in 'the Lion King ½"

The publishing thing is reference to an episode of the 1990s sitcom:

"Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".

Jimmy getting up is a reference to a scene from the 90s cartoon: "Timon & Pumbaa" from the episode: 'Once upon a Timon'.

Lucy Lane is Lois Lane's younger sister... Steve Lombard is in the comics... he has a bit of a macho attitude.

Yar-El is Jor-El and Zor-El's father in the last days of Krypton novel written by Kevin J. Anderson.

Zypto is Krypto's father in the comics he's mentioned in the Superboy comic # 126: "Krypto's family tree" two other dogs mentioned are Nypto (Grandfather) and Vypto (Great grandfather).

Kala-In-Ze is the name of Kara's mom in the Superman animated series from the 90s.

Nancy (short for Nancy Foxx) is an African American character of mine; she's Gus Gorman's friend and works at the Daily planet with Lois, Clark, Jimmy, etc…

The 'It all started on a warm August day' lien and scene is based on quotes from the Fresh prince of Bel-air episodes: 'Fresh prince: the movie'

The last two lines in the prologue are based on similar quotes from the movie: "The Great mouse detective".
