Clark Kent had been sitting at his kitchen table reflecting on his life with Lois. He had been very lucky to have found her. At the beginning things had been a little rocky, but now ten years later, he and Lois were now happily married and the parents of two children.
But today it was thirty seven years ago that he had been found by the Kent's. Jonathan and Martha had been everything that a young man could have wanted in parents and he loved them both very deeply. On this day, however, he could not help but think of his birth parents and how they had died so long ago on a planet that he had never seen. He had a globe that had let him see what his parents had looked like and he had heard his father's voice. Somehow, he knew that he needed to be satisfied with what he had, but the yearn to meet his birth parents was always there deep within him.
He had been lucky in some ways. There had been a few survivors from his home planet and he had met them. But their life had been very difficult. He continued to keep in contact with the other survivors, but for the most part he had no other way of hearing what had happened that fateful day when Krypton had exploded killing everyone who lived on it.
As Clark took a sip of coffee he heard a knock on the door. As he turned around he saw Clark Jr run to the door. The family had been expecting the Kent's Martha and Jonathan to be coming over because of the day, but the voce that Clark heard was not his parents. As he listened he realized that his son was talking to HG Wells.
Lois had been upstairs getting ready for work when she had heard the doorbell. She was expecting to hear the voices of Martha and Jonathan, but that was not the voice that she was hearing. As she listened she realized that HG Wells was downstairs. She finished dressing and came down the stairs to greet the strange man that she had met before.
Each time that Mr. Wells came to meet Lois and Clark he appeared to be a different age. This time he appeared to be somewhere in his forties/ He smiled as he saw Lois coming down the stairs and held out her chair for her as she went to sit down.
Mr. Wells liked Lois and Clark. They were true heroes and unselfish also. He had been through time, and knew what they both would accomplish through their lives. They would be nearly sainted in the future and everyone would love and respect them.
Clark was watching the strange man that sat in front of him. He knew that Mr. Wells would not be there if he didn't have something important that he needed them to do so he asked him. "How may we help you this morning?"
Mr. Wells smiled at both Lois and Clark and their two children. The two children were curious about this strange man who was sitting in the kitchen. But Lois moved her arm letting them know that they needed to leave the room. They were both disappointed, but they knew that when their mother told them to do something she meant it.
Lois smiled at the man and he began to speak. "I know that you have been with me on my journeys through time. I have learned my lesson about bringing anyone back with me from my travels. Just one experience with Tempus was enough. But, today I am here to offer you a present Clark. As you know I have been working on different versions of the time machine. My new machine has the ability to travel through both space and time. I now have the capability of taking you to meet your birth parents if you are interested." he told them. He was studying Clark's face to see what kind of reaction he would get from the man. He knew that Clark had always spoken about meeting his birth parents one day.
Clark looked over at his wife and companion and smiled. "I have always wished to meet my birth parents, but can Lois go with me?" he asked.
"Oh yes, the planet is fine for her. She will be much lighter in weight than she is here and the oxygen level is almost twice as high as it is here on Earth, but I found Krypton very safe and comfortable." Mr. Wells told them.
"So you have been to Krypton?" Lois asked.
"Yes, I was there just a few minutes before I came to find you. I saw you as a baby in your mother Lara's arms. She was very worried about the long trip that you were going to make. I told her that you would survive and thrive with your new world. She wants to meet you and so doesn't your father. It would give them immense peace." Mr. Wells told them.
Lois looked at her husband and smiled. "Of course, we will be glad to go with you. I just want to make sure that we can leave the planet before it is destroyed." she told him.
Clark was nervous about that. The planet did get destroyed just moments after he left the atmosphere. They would have to be very careful to leave even before he did to ensure Lois's safety. "Will you go with us?" he asked.
"No the time machine works better with just two occupants. I will show you how to use the machine and then you can be on your way." Mr. Wells told them with a smile.
As the three of them walked out into their backyard Lois and Clark spotted the time machine. This machine had been modified somewhat, but it still looked very much like the one that they had used when Tempus had attempted to kill Clark when he first arrived on Earth.
As HG Wells explained the workings, Clark and Lois listened intently. There was a lot to learn and there was no room for error. The machine was a simple enough device, though and Lois wasn't going to miss this adventure for anything. She had always wanted to meet her husband's real parents and this was her chance.
Finally all of the preparations were finished and they were ready for their trip to Krypton. Lois went inside and got some pictures. She got pictures of the children, their home and Martha and Jonathan Kent. She found a picture of the farm where Clark had grown up and put everything in her bag. If Lara and Jor El were going to feel comfortable sending their son to Earth, the pictures would make them feel better.
As the husband and wife sat down in the machine Clark set the date time and location. With a loud noise and some big yellow spots Lois and Clark were on their way to a new adventure. But, this time they were taking Clark back to his place of birth. They were headed to Krypton to meet his birth parents and they were both very nervous.
