Chapter 2: California

Las Angeles, California: Jor-El frowned as the shuttle beamed him down into water. He swam to the coast as he felt the warmth of this world's sun. His own sun, sustained his people, but General Zod warned him of potential issues of the sun going nova, but even Brainiac had discounted that data as irrelevant.

Jor-El touched a button on his robe and the garment dried off then shimmered and changed its appearance to match the clothes the civilians wore on this planet. He then pulled out what looked like a tablet. He spoke to it.

"Where am I? And what is the distance to the subject?" He said. The Brain Interactive Construct lit up the screen. It spoke in a female voice.

"The Year is 1977 and the location is Los Angeles, California and you are 15 miles from the alien Kryptonian shuttle, Lord Jor-El," the AI said. He then felt it. The rush of energy & strength from the sun.

"What is this?" He said as he felt power that had been recorded in the ancient scrolls recorded by his great-grandfather Seg-El who redeemed the House of El.

"You are near a yellow sun which means due to its lighter gravity unlike Krypton you are granted powers on this world," Brainiacsaid. He then asked

"Where is Lara?" He then saw the tablet begin to scan through the Terran time stream and it focused onto the Year 1966.

"She has met two significant humans, Dr. Charles Graiman, and Wilton Knight both of whom can aid you in your search for the duplicate Kryptonian ship. In this timeline, Lara and Wilton and Charles are in Los Angeles, south as it should be. There is a woman who is bonded to the human Wilton Knight. She has a horseless carriage that requires maintenance and she is up ahead," Brainiac said. Jor-El smiled as he began to move at Super speed and saw the woman leaning over a hood that housed an engine. The young woman was in her late 30's to early 40's. She threw down the wrench in frustration.

"Damn! Of all the times for Wilton to be gone, and I need him now," She said to no one in particular. She then heard a voice behind her.

"Do you require assistance?" A male voice said behind her. The woman, Elizabeth Knight, stared at the physically fit man who stood before her. What a fox, she thought to herself. The man leaned into the hood and stared st the engine.

"Show me what's wrong with the engine," Jor-El said to the tablet he had set down on the ground. The tablet then scanned the vehicle in real time and discovered the distributor cap was loose. A 3-D image popped up of the distributor cap and Jor-El then tightened it.

"There you go," He said picking up from the tablet, a common response as a way of saying thank you.

"What's your name, sir," Elizabeth asked.

"Joe West. I'm trying to make my way to Smallville, Kansas to meet with a family," he lied to hide his Kryptonian heritage from the woman. Elizabeth eyed his body. She smiled deviously.

"You must be hungry. We're not far from my summer home," Elizabeth said starting the engine and motioned for the man to climb in.

The Knight Summer House-Jor-El was surprised when the butler let them in. He had never known, on Krypton a person to do such servitude except in its infancy.

"Quite a home," Jor-El remarked. The butler motioned for his coat, but Jor-El shook his head no. The man left. They walked into the living room and went into the kitchen. He saw cooks bringing out lunch, as the woman & her husband Wilton was very wealthy.

"Lunch is served, Miss Elizabeth," the head cook said, and Henry Williamson, the butler pulled the chair for Elizabeth and did the same for Jor-El. He placed the tablet down. He stared at the steak and vegetables and a wine glass.

"Is that okay for you Joe?" Elizabeth asked. He nodded. He remembered the Kryptonian satellites that had taken extensive visuals of how the humans ate and drank. He again stared at the black skinned butler as he poured wine into his wine glass. Elizabeth smiled at him.

"Joe, would you mind opening the window? It's a bit warm in here, don't you think?" She said fanning herself. Jor-El nodded and replied, "of course," and he moved to open the windows. Unknown to him, she slipped a sleeping pill into his win and it dissolved quickly. "Joe" came back and sat down. He took a bite of the steak.

"Who are you?" He asked. The woman smiled. "My name is Elizabeth Knight, and I'm married to a powerful man named Wilton Knight. He's always working," Elizabeth said.

"I see. You're mate built a scanner I need to borrow, Mrs. Knight," Jor-El said smiled. He then felt the sleeping drug take effect.

"What did you do," Joe-El said as he felt groggy. He then slumped into the back of chair. She then motioned for two bodyguards to take him to another room. She then grabbed the tablet. She saw the House Of El symbol on it and she touched it.

"You are not allowed into the system," spoke the male robotic voice, unemotional in its demeanor.

"Take this thing and break down it's software," she said to one of technicians. The woman nodded and she ran her fingers through her red hair.

"What's your name," Elizabeth asked. The young woman smiled.

"Dr. April Curtis, Ma'am," the red-head said. The woman stared at the alien tablet. She then saw a incoming call coming in on the tablet.

"Who is this?" She asked as real-time imagery came over the tablet.

"Who is this and where is Lord Jor-El?" A female voice asked.

"My name is April Curtis & Who are you?" The red-head asked.

"You are not who you say you are, as there is a temporal signature around you," a man said. The woman looked in fear.

"I don't know where this Jor-El is but I will find him or her," April said.
