Chapter 1: Prologue
Jor-El frowned as he walked out of the Council chambers. He sought the arms of his wife. He was one of Krypton's leading scientists, but the Council found his most recent findings troubling. He was by human standards, a young man well-built about 25-years-old and newly married. They were forbidden to have sexual intercourse, but he and his wife Lara had been attempting to have a child through natural means instead of the council selecting a child's classification, sex, or caste or role in Kryptonian society. They had discovered a faraway planet through the satellite shuttles they had sent out a thousand years prior. The Kryptonian society had become fascinated by this world that was so different. Jor-El had recently issued his findings about the planet Krypton to the Council which the planetary computer, Brainiac had dismissed as heretical and had fare warned Jor-El not to discuss his findings among the general population.
"How did it go?" Lara asked him as he arrived home as the crystalline shuttle raft dropped him at his home. He stared at his father-in-law Van-Dar.
"What did you expect! The Council shut me out. Brainiac even disagreed with my findings. They did approve my trip to Terra, however," Jor-El said with a sad smile on his handsome face. He brought up on the holographic display, an image of Earth. Then the alert system went off as the Kryptonian satellite detected something.
"Kel-Tor, what is that?" Lara asked, staring at the computer's holographic display. The image zoomed in on a buried shuttle that was similar in design to one of their shuttle crafts.
"My Lady Lara, that is a Kryptonian shuttle that has been buried in the Terran ground for 1000 Terran years, but it's wavelength is off so it's Kryptonian but it's not. It is buried off the state of California in the United States of America. It comes from another Krypton," Kel-Tor said. Lara stared at the display in shock.
"We must discover where this ship came from," Jor-El said. Lara smiled at her husband. They had been married a year and both were scientists.
"You have your approval to go to Terra. I'll go with," Lara said. "Zor-El will be upset as you promised to visit him and Kara," Jor-El warned her gently, holding her tightly.
"I'm a Junior member of the Science Council. I'll speak with my commander and they will let me go," Lara said smiling at her husband. "Besides, Zor-El is off world on a planetary expedition to one of our moons. He won't be back for three months. We both need to discover this shuttle," Lara pleaded with her husband.
"Let's call the Planetary Council," Jor-El said. He touched a few of the crystals and three of the head councilors appeared.
"What is it, Lord Jor-El," the lead Councilor asked as she had been woken up. "Our most recent scans of Terra revealed a Kryptonian cryo-ship buried in an ocean on Terra. My wife and I request we investigate whether it is one of ours," Jor-El said. The three Councilors stared at each other. "Von-Dar, what do you say?" The leader said motioning to the leader of Science Council.
"Very well, if you transmit data every 10 Terran days, as time is calculated by the Terrans," Von-Dar said. "Your shuttle that already is prepared. You must acquire clothing and dwellings and a form of income for the next 3 months as time is determined there on Terra," Von-Dar continued. The Holographic link shut down and they hurried to the Shuttle bays.
"Lord Jor-El, your shuttle will take you to the planet. You and your mate will be split up but must meet at the appointed pick up time. The drop off for Jor-El is a place called Smallville, Kansas and Lady Lara will be dropped off in Los Angeles, California. May Rao bless your journey," The Shuttle master said bowing before them. They boarded their shuttle and they blasted off.
Earth, Lawrence, Kansas, 1965-Charles Graiman stared at his new college Roommates. They were Lionel Luthor, Thomas Wayne and Wilton Knight. Wilton, he had known since the men were children. All 4 men were wealthy and had dreams of success and making a difference in their world. All 4 men were in their 20s, and registered at the University of Kansas, located in Lawrence, Kansas. They had just moved into an apartment nearby. Charles and Wilton were in a car when they saw on the side of the road, a woman dressed in white.
"Charles, what are you doing?" Wilton asked as Charles slowed the vehicle down to pick up the young woman.
"Need any help, young lady?" Charles asked the brunette haired young woman who appeared to be in her early 20s.
"I need to get to Los Angeles, California. I'm looking for a rare Crystalline structure located off your coast," the woman said. Charles stared at her body which was perfect. She was well built as if she worked out. She was 6 foot, red hair, full breasts, with a muscular stomach, arms, legs. Her eyes were blue.
"What's your name, Miss?" Wilton asked. She smiled at him. "Lara Wilcox. My husband dropped me off here," Lara said, with a smile. She then noticed in Wilton's hands a blueprint for a car, but a car with artificial intelligence. The blueprint was of the AI that Charles and Wilton were working on.
"Where do you need to go?" Charles asked.
"West Adams Blvd near 110," Lara said as she was directly linked into the Kryptonian satellite that was invisible to Terran sonar, but she knew it was there. She smiled at the men.
"Our first class is in 2 days, Mrs. Wilcox. We'll never make it back in time," Wilton said. She then removed from her pocket a pink crystal and attached it to a part of the roof inside the car.
"Gentlemen of Earth, you will be able to get me to my destination and back for your studies. By the way I am a scientist as well as a physician. This crystal I attached to your vehicle will get us to my destination and you back in no time, less than a day," Lara said. Charles, who was driving, pressed down on the accelerator and the car began to pick up speed till it reached a top speed of 295 miles and they were headed West to California….
