The Power of Twins

Chapter 1: Reborn

The red sun of the Rao system shone brightly over the mighty planet Krypton. Its inhabitants oblivious to the extinction level event that would soon fall upon them due to their pride and reliance on an AI that assured them everything was as it should be. The tremors of the planet's tectonic plates were constantly moving, but no one thought much of it. Volcanoes were erupting more frequently but no one thought it necessary to investigate more. Animals would act strangely and out of habit from what was studied long ago. Everyone was living their lives as if nothing was wrong and all was right in the universe. Everyone but one house, the House of El.

The House of El was always known for their nobility and their prodigious offspring. Going into law, science, military, and so much more. The current head of House El, Jor-El, was running through the halls of his family home. His first-born child was due any minute now. His younger brother Zor-El ran steadily behind him as they had just finished their important work that would help their children survive the future and potentially keep the Kryptonian culture alive. If his calculations were correct then the planet will die the next -El, was once known as one of the brilliant minds on the entire planet but due to his claims that the Krypton was soon to be destroyed he was quickly ousted out of the scientific community and shunned from the all but his family.

The screams of his wife reverberated throughout the halls as she gave birth to their first born. He quickened his pace and burst through the doors only to see his wife holding a baby in her arms. "Jor look," Lara Lor-Van said weakly with a radiant smile on her face, "meet our son."

"He is perfect my love. What shall we name him?" Jor-El asked feeling the proudest he's ever felt in his entire life as he looked down at the two of them.

"Kal-El. His name is Kal-El," Lara responded as she carefully handed over her son to her husband. Jor-El took his son and could only stare in amazement of the miracle that was in his arms.

"Kal-El my son. I am so proud to be your father and yet I have many regrets. I regret that I will never be able to raise you. Watch you grow and become the man I know you will be. But I will not leave you will nothing. I have ensured that you will live and left everything I could for you. For one day, you will be a legend, I can feel it. You won't be alone either, for your twin cousins will be with you. Good luck my son."

Jor-El hands his son back to his wife and stares into her eyes. "I predict we have a day at most, spend as much time with him as you can. I will be finishing up the final preparations and then I will return. Do you wish for me to send the rest of the family?"

"Yes. Please send in the twins first. They will after all be looking over him from now on and will need to see whom they are raising," Lara replied with remorse as she held the baby in lovingly her arms.

"As you wish. After that I'll send in Alura, it's too bad Astra couldn't be here. Sadly, she made her choices."' With that said Jor-El left to room and went to find his son's future guardians.

Two teenagers sat in the family room of their home, anxiously waiting for the news of their new cousin. They are Ky-El and Kara Zor-El, the twins to both Zor-El and Alura In-Ze. For the past 14 years, they have been celebrated as two of the most prodigious children ever to come from House El.

Kara took after her mother and was very well versed in all matters of law. She always felt the pull of justice, taking it upon herself to ensure the innocent were protected and wrong doers were caught and judged appropriately. Ever since she was little she would look over her mother's shoulder, wanting to learn everything she could about the legal systems of the galaxy. Once she focused on a case, she never let her personal feeling get in the way of facts. Her rise to fame started when she assisted her mother in the arrest and sentencing of Aunt Astra. Everyone knew if she was willing to help send her aunt to Fort Rozz then she would always be fair and impartial towards every case that come across her.

Ky decided he wanted to branch out a little from the rest of the family and entered the military academy. From the moment he started everyone knew he would be a great leader one day. He had it all: the charisma, intelligence, ability to work and think under pressure, and he cared about everyone under his command to the point he knew each of his men's families personally. He quickly rose through the academy ranks, setting unprecedented records; beating out all his predecessors' records including the infamous General Zod.

"How much longer do you think we have to wait?" Kara asked as she rested her head on her brother's shoulder, looking at the city in the distance.

"I'm not sure but it shouldn't be too much longer," Ky replied quietly, silently thanking Krypton's emphases on the matters of family being priority over all else. Because of this, Ky was allowed leave time away from the academy to see the birth of his new cousin.

After several minutes of silence Kara could feel he hurricane of emotions coming through their twin bond. "What are you thinking about?" she asked him as she lifted her head off his shoulder.

"I'm feeling worried is all. Uncle Jor said that the planet is going to be destroyed soon. I know the rest of the world thinks he's foolish but I know that he would never make such a claim if he didn't truly believe it," Ky replied, thinking about all the times he's recently defended his uncle from being slandered at the academy.

Kara could only nod in agreement. "I feel the same. I hope that the apocalypse doesn't happen any time soon. I want to be able to watch our cousin grow on Krypton. Plus, we have so much going for us, our futures are practically set here. With my future in law and you as the future Grand General."

Neither noticed that both of their parents were standing behind them, silently listening to their conversation. They both knew that it was only a matter of time before their family was forever separated. All they could do was ensure the twins made it off the planet safely with as much knowledge as they could give them. "Sadly," Zor said, casing both teens to jump slightly in surprise, "your uncle and I feel Krypton will be destroyed tomorrow. We've done all we can to prepare but now only Rao will decide what happens next." The two parents engulfed both of their children in hugs, not wanting to ever let go.

This was the scene that Jor-El saw as he walked into the family room of his home. A single tear rolled down his cheek as he watched his brother's family hold each other. With a heavy heart, he had to break them up so that the twins could see their new cousin.

"Ky, Kara, your new cousin is ready to see you now." The twins looked and nodded. They looked at their parents once more and left the room.

Jor-El watched the twins leave the room and looked towards his brother and sister-in-law. "It's almost time. We've done everything we can to give them the knowledge and tools they'll need to survive every scenario we could think of."

"Let us hope it is enough." His brother responded as they left the room to double check the pods.

"Alura, when the twins come out, Lara would like to see you as well." Jor said over his shoulder and Alura nodded.

The twins walk in to the delivery room and see their cousin for the first time. It was fascinating for them to see their Aunt Lara holding him in her arms and singing a traditional Kryptonian lullaby. He was so small, smaller than either of them expected. Wrapped up in a red blanket, with a spot of midnight black hair and dark eyes.

Lara looked up at them and smiled brightly. "Ky, Kara! Meet Kal-El, your new cousin." Ky walked up to her and gently took the baby from her arms. "Hello Kal… I'm Ky, you're elder cousin. I'm going to do everything I possibly can to protect and teach you." Ky looks over to his sister who has a megawatt smile on her face. "Of course, I won't be the only one there for you. Your cousin Kara will be there to help every step of the way."

Kara approached the two and asked to hold him. "Hey Kal," she whispers, "I'm Kara. I don't know what the future holsd, but I do know I will never let you down. When you fall, I'll be there to pick you up. When you achieve something, I'll be there to cheer you on. I will always protect you and keep you happy." She gently kissed the top of his head and handed him back to his mother.

Lara silently watched the two siblings talk to their new charge, smiling warmly at the scene in front of her. Her only regret in life is knowing that she won't be in either of their lives after tomorrow. She knew that her husband and brother-in-law were doing all they could to ensure their survival but she knew there would always be things that would be impossible to predict.

"Thank you both for looking after him," Lara started. "Knowing you two will be there for him eases my fears of him going into the unknown."

"Of course, we will!" Ky nearly shouted. "The House of El motto is 'Always Together' after all." Kara only nodded, completely agreeing with her brother. "No matter what, we will always look after each other."

Kara handed Kal back to Lara and hugged her. "It's time we head back to the family room. Rest and spend as much time with him as you can. I love you"

"I love you too Kara. And you Ky," Lara replied. With that said the twins left the room to tell their mother it was her turn to see her nephew.

There was a heaviness in the atmosphere the next day. As if the universe was trying to give the Kryptonians one last warning to leave the planet and save themselves. Unfortunately, that warning continued to be ignored as the citizens continued to go about their everyday lives. That was until, an eerie silence engulfed the planet like the calm before a storm. The unnatural feeling in the air finally made the people of Krypton stop what they were doing and look around in confusion, not sure what to expect.

Then disaster struck. Earthquakes razed cities to the ground. Volcanoes exploded in fiery columns of destruction, eradicating everything in its path. Tsunamis flooded all land masses with only the most center or highest ground untouched by water. This was the destruction of Krypton, the very thing that Jor-El tried to warn his fellow Kryptonians about. Jor-El knew it was petty but he couldn't help but have an "I told you so" thought flash across his mind as he watched the destruction around him.

All members of the Zor-El family ran towards their evacuation point and prayed they would get there in time. Upon arrival, they saw Jor and Lara carefully setting their son in to his pod, whispering their last words to him. Telling him to grow, be happy, and to listen to his cousins.

Kara and Ky held their parents one last time and cried. "I'm going to miss you both. Bring honor to our name and look after your cousin. Your pod has every bit of information I could give you. Use it well and for the betterment of the family," Jor said as he held his children close, knowing this would be the last time he would see either of them.

Alura had tears streaming down her face, squeezing her children as much as she could. "I love you both. Look after each other. Be happy and become who you were meant to be. Don't let anyone tell you not to live up to your fullest potential."

With their final words said the two parents ushered the twins into their escape pod as they heard Kal-El's pod take off. "Hurry! Go before It's too la-!" Alura was unable to finish her sentence as a part of the ceiling caved in and struck her in the head. Seeing this Zor-El rushed towards the console and pressed a series of buttons that shot his children off to space. "Good luck my children. I love you both." With one last look at this wife his, Zor-El turned his head and stared into the distance as he watched the earth below exploding outwards.

30 Years Later

A young man at the age of 18 snapped straight up out of bed breathing heavily. It was always the same dream. The destruction of his home planet. Seeing his mother die right in front of his eyes. Periodically waking up in the pod, not being able to move or see anything while they were in the phantom zone. He had lost count of how much time he was in limbo; his only relief was knowing his sister was safely next to him oblivious to his torture. She was his anchor, the one thing that kept him from going crazy. He vowed that he would do anything to keep her happy and safe.

A knock on his door knocked him out of his thoughts, already knowing exactly who it was. He knew he probably woke his sister up with his nightmares through their bond. "Kyle, are you ok?"

"Yea Kara… Just the same nightmare," Kyle replied. "Don't worry about it and go back to sleep. We have a busy day tomorrow after all."

Kara ignores him and crawls into his bed and hugs him. "I know. I love you, your problems are my problems. I know that you were awake when the explosion happened and during some of the phantom zone, it pains me that I can't help you with it."

"You're doing more than enough just by being here. Plus, I'm just happy Dad managed to put you in stasis before we left the atmosphere. I'd hate for you to have seen and experience what I did."

Even in the darkness of the room Kara could see the grief her brother had on his face. All she could do was send soothing emotions towards him and hold onto him with all she could. "Let's get back to sleep. We start college tomorrow and we get to see Kal!"

"Yea, it has been awhile since we've seen him. Luthor really did a number on him from their last battle," Kyle replied whimsically. "Good night Kara. Thank you for being here for me. I love you little sister."

"Always will, not matter what. Good night Kyle. I love you too." She said as she left his room hoping her brother didn't have any more nightmares the rest of the night.

As the door closed behind her, he thinks about the day to come. Tomorrow was an extremely important day for the two of them. It would be known forever as the day the twins took their first steps to taking the world by storm. With Kara wanting to use the legal skills she took so many years to develop. Wanting to be in the thick of things; desiring to become a detective or even a reporter to ensure justice was served. While Kyle wanted to rule the markets, taking command of the economy, and provide the best inventions and merchandise to the world. He would use his military training to come up with the best business strategies to take on his competition, using his charisma to woo the masses to buy his products, re-create technology form Krypton that could revolutionize the world, and of course make sure his employees were well looked after to guarantee optimal performance.

"Look out world," he thought to himself. "The last twins of Krypton are coming for you." With that said, he rolls over and tries to fall asleep.

A/N: If this is your first time reading my story then disregard this portion. To my previous followers; I hope you like my modifications from my original version. As I said in my chapter message, I completely edited out the power to see the future. I'm hoping by giving Kara and Kyle more of a history then that will help set in motion a better and more adjustable plot.

A/N: For my new readers. Well, that the first chapter of "The Power of Twins." This is my first story so if anyone has any input on how I can make it better please tell me and I will do my best to make it happen. As you've obviously seen this is a story where Kara has a twin brother, I've personally never seen this before and I figured I'd give it a try to see how it turns out. As the story progresses you will notice that there will be slight similarities to CharmedMilliE – Karry Master's "Karry Universe." I've asked their permission to use some of their ideas and as long as I follow their conditions then I'm allowed. I'm also looking for a beta, I've done my best to proof read but I doubt I'll be able to catch everything. Plus, it would be nice to ping ideas of each other to make the story better. If you're interested then just send me a PM.
