Seeing the Past

They were looking for a teacher. They got a lot more. A Superman and Star Trek: Next Generation crossover.

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek or Superman.

A/N: This is my first Star Trek fan fiction. I'm looking for a beta that knows the Next Generation canon well. If you would like to help me please leave you e-mail address in a review. If I make any mistakes, please tell me in a review. I will fix them if at all possible. Now, on to the story.

Chapter 1: New Arrival

The star ship Enterprise pulled slowly into the spaceport. This was just a routine maintenance stop. It gave the crew and officers a chance to get off the ship and walk around in a place where the customs were known and they didn't have to worry about starting a war with a misspoken word. The only change between this port and the last was the fact that one of their teachers was scheduled to leave the Enterprise for another ship. His replacement waiting for them at the station.

Even though they stopped at stations often there was a buzz of excitement that was traveling through the ship. The new teacher's reputation had proceeded him. It had taken a fight to get his last captain to transfer him. It was said that his teaching methods were unique and effective. His students excelled under his tutoring.

"Mr. Riker, is everything set for the new teachers arrival?" Jean-Luc Picard asked his second in command.

"Yes, Sir." William Riker replied. "He has half the kids waiting for him to beam aboard. If he's even half as good as they say then the kids will have one of the best educations in the federation."

"Perhaps, we'll have to see. Do you know where he's from?" The captain asked as he and his first mate made there way to the transporter room.

"No clue." Came the reply as they walked into the crowded room. "Are all of you here for the new teacher?" Riker asked the group of children waiting around the edges of the room.

"We were just curious, Sir." The oldest boy stepped forward.

"Mr. Crusher, there will be plenty of time to meet Mr. Kent after he settles in. There's no point in ambushing him the minute he arrives." Captain Picard told the gangly youth. "Now, three of you can stay, the rest need to go somewhere else."

The children all looked between each other as if silently debating the captain's orders. Finally all but three of the children filed out of the room. The small group didn't have to wait long before Ensign La Forge announced the incoming traveler.
