Chapter 1
Daxam
Chaos was an euphemism to talk about the situation. It was hell ! Mon-El
looked around panicked. He knew he was supposed to help the royal family to
escape but he was just thirteen and scared. He was running around looking for
his father or his mother. He went outside and the earth shook near him. He was
thrown on the ground by the impact and he felt dizzy for a few seconds. What
was going on ?
Lar Gand : Mon-El !
Mon-El : he got up Dad ! What's happening ?
Lar Gand : That damned planet exploded and it's collapsing on us !
Mon-El : Where's Mom ?
Lar Gand : lying She'll be here soon.
Actually Rhea was killed twenty minutes ago. Crushed by a giant kryptonian
rock fell from the sky. He didn't want his son to know. He wanted him safe.
Lar Gand : Follow me !
They started to run.
Mon-El : Where are we going ?
Lar Gand : You need to go ! He reached a pod and opened it
Mon-El : No ! I can't leave you and Mom !
Lar Gand : It's an order, son. You need to be brave for now on.
The young boy nodded and climbed in the pod.
Lar Gand : You'll be safe he programmed a destination
He heard the royal family talking about this planet a few times. He watched the
pod taking off and flying away carrying his son to a new world. He hoped
those earthlings would treat him right.
Mon-El watched his father getting smaller and smaller. When he couldn't see
him anymore he looked at the outer space. He was even more scared now. After
a while he fell asleep and didn't notice his pod was slipping into the phantom
zone.
National city, Earth 25 years later
Bonnie was sitting next to her window looking at the sky. She was thirteen. She
stared at the stars and wondered about other planets and aliens. She knew they
were not alone in the universe. Superman was the best proof of alien life. He
wasn't the only one but he was Bonnie's favorite. She had a bit of a crush on
him. Her thoughts were interupted when she saw something in the sky. A
shooting star, she thought. She closed her eyes and made a wish.
Meanwhile
It was not a shooting star. Mon-El's pod crashed outside of town but the boy
didn't wake up. He hadn't in two decades. Soon a DEO team came to see the
small ship. They protected the crash site and carefully circled the pod. One of
the agents came closer and tried to open it. After a few minutes the shield went
down and they realized they were facing a young boy. They brought him back
to the DEO and placed the alien in the med bay.
A few days after the crash
Mon-El opened his eyes slowly and looked around. He was in a strange place.
He sat up and some machines started to make weird noises. He ripped the wires
off of his arm and left the bed. A man came in and Mon-El backed himself
against a wall not sure how to react.
Man : Hey, don't be scared. I'm not here to hurt you.
The alien studied the man carefully. He looked like him but he could never
know if he wasn't dangerous.
Man : My name is Garrett. Garrett Matthews. And you ?
Mon-El : I'm...I'm Mon-El.
Garrett : Oh, are you related to Superman ?
Mon-El : Who ?
Garrett : Kal-El.
Mon-El : he shook his head No idea who that is.
Garrett : Alright then...From which planet are you ?
Mon-El : Daxam.
Garrett : Ok we're going to...
Doctor : he smiled as he walked in Oh you're awake. Now we can finally have the answers we've been looking for.
Mon-El : I don't know you. Leave me alone he clenched (sp?) his hands
Garrett : Don't worry, it's going to be...
Mon-El started to run out of the med bay. He was surprised by his own speed
and stopped suddenly. He was too quick and stumbled down the stairs. The
young alien was circled by DEO agents.
Garrett : he ran downstairs Everyone stays calm ! It's just a kid, damnit ! he looked at Mon-El You're alright, son ?
He nodded.
Garrett : he helped him getting up and smiled You're safe now.
