"Lara." The man said hugging his wife who was currently in tears as she held the sleeping baby in her arms.

"No! Not yet, it's too soon," she cried. "It's too soon," she closed her eyes and kissed her sons head.

"My love, the hour is nearly here. If he doesn't get sent soon than he will certainly die with us." Jor-El said trying to reason with his wife.

"How can you send our son away, as if it were nothing? She spoke trying to commit everything to memory; sight, sound, and every other senses she had to her son.

"I should be the one that sees his steps in growth; not some stranger on a strange planet. What if they don't like him, if they don't treat him well?" Lara argued as her husband.

"He'll be an outcast. They'll kill him." Lara said as her husband began to walk over to a space pod. Jor-El gave his wife a look in disbelief as he placed his son on the bed of the pod. Jor-El turned to his wife placing his hands on her shoulder, looking her in the eyes.

"How? He'll be a god to them." Jor-El let her go, and proceeded to walk over to his infant son Kal-El who was crying.

"Goodbye my son. Our hopes and dreams travel with you." Jor-El stated kissing his son's forehead. The bed for the pod began to ascend into the metal sphere. General Zod proceeded to burst through the door.

"Jor-El! hand over the codex or suffer the consequences," Zod demanded calmly, but the bearded man refused would give in so they got into defensive position around his wife and child.

"Never. You aren't the one who should decide which generation lives on," Jor-El retorted calmly and Zod glared at him furiously.

"Then you both shall die with Krypton!" Zod declared and he lunged towards Jor-El in hand to hand combat. While Jor-El fought against Zod Lara stayed at the controls trying to finish the launching sequence quickly. Unexpectedly, Zod stabbed Jor-El with a hidden dagger through the chest and he slumped to the floor eyes dulled, lifeless.

"No, Jor-El!" Laura screamed in horror and she proceeded to finish the launching sequence for Kal-El's ship. Kal-El's ship took off into the air leaving behind Lara and Zod

After the Coup

"General Zod we hereby banish you and your followers to The Phantom Zone!" Cru-Eth leader of the Kryptonian council announced.

"I will find your son! Do you hear me?! I will find him and kill him!" Zod shouted enraged at the grieving mother, but Lara didn't even so much as flinch at his words. The Council Members solidified them with a black freezing liquid and sent Zod and his followers into the Phantom Zone where they were to remain banished forever. After that, Lara walked away towards the balcony watching Krypton implode all over on the outside.

"Lady Lara don't you wish to hide?" Kelex asked while looking at the woman who held a small sad smile on her face.

"There's nowhere to hide Kelex." Lara said as her former planet fell apart all around her them until finally they died with Krypton in the explosion.

Earth

Republic City

10:00pm

Lin Beifong sighed as she made her way to the front door of her home. The woman walked to the kitchen and saw a plate on the table for her accompanied by a note.

"Since you were coming home late I got some Seaweed Noodles and Roasted Duck for dinner I already ate. Enjoy."

Wei Beifong

Lin placed the letter down and climbed up the stairs to the top floor and placed her hand slowly on Wei's door. Lin peeked in Wei's room.

Wei's room was normally tidy but it wasn't right now currently The green covers of his bed were half on the bed, half on the floor, his clothes were thrown on his desk, and a newspaper with a picture of Avatar Korra was on his training dummy in the corner of his room. Lin closed the door and went to go eat her dinner.

Nineteen years ago Lin had found the teenage boy as a baby in a strange contraption after she had climbed into the crater left by the boy's ship she pulled him out of it and instantly at that moment the boy had bonded to the Chief of Police. Lin had taken care of him for a long time and she wouldn't have it any different. The door had opened with Wei calling to see had his mother had been home.

"Where have you been?" Lin asked Wei in a slightly worried tone. Wei was not only the son of the Chief of the metal bending police but grandson to the woman who started it, which meant that Lin's enemies were also Wei's enemies.

" I went out to get some dessert." Wei said holding a bag filled a small chocolate cake, topped with Fire gummies, and frosting coating it. Lin crossed her arms and placed her hands on his shoulders.

"Remember you have to be careful out there." Lin said as Wei nodded and walked into the kitchen to place the cake down on the table and cut two pieces for him and Lin. Both mother and son sat down at the table.

"How was your day?" Wei asked as Lin took a bit out of her cake. The older woman looked at her son with a neutral look.

"Same as always busting and arresting Triad members." Lin said as Wei nodded while he finished his cake.

"And you."

"I did some exploring and wandered around the city." Wei said as he grabbed his plate and walked over to the sink to wash it off. Lin raised an eyebrow but decided not to question any further.

"Isn't the gala for Avatar Korra tomorrow?" Wei asked as Lin gave a shrug then nodded at her son's question.

"Does that mean I need to wear my best clothes?" Wei asked while in a cringe as Lin gave him a smirk and put her plate in the sink and began to walk away.

"I take that as a 'yes'" Wei said muttering to himself as he climbed up the stairs and walked into his room he changed into his night clothes and promptly fell asleep.
