Jimmy and Lois looked at Kara then back at Clark who was still on the floor.

"You ok, Clark?" Lois asked,

He groaned a little "I'm alright, Lois" he answered.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, cousin" Kara replied,

"Uh… don't call me that until I get up" Clark said to her as Lois and Jimmy helped him up.

"Now what's all this about me being your cousin?" Clark asked,

"It's true…we're cousins" Kara answered,

"Excuse me" Clark told Jimmy and Lois. He stepped out of the room with Kara and went into a nearby janitor's closet.

"Who are you?" he asked,

"Name's Kara….Kara Zor-El" the young blond replied.

"Zor-El?" Clark answered in a puzzled tone.

"He's Jor-El's brother" Kara added,

"Really? So it's true, we really are cousins but…how'd you get here?" Clark continued.

"Kind of a long story" Kara sighed,

"Look, we can talk at lunch but right now; let's just keep this casual" said Clark,

"Got it" Kara replied before they stepped out of the closet.

"Sorry about that, everything's fine" Clark announced once he was back in the room,

"That's good, see ya guys" said Lois

'Bye" was the reply she got back from Clark, Kara and Jimmy.

"C'mon, let's go" Clark continued, a short time later he and Kara were outside the Daily planet. It wasn't long before the duo was greeted by a loud friendly bark "Hey Krypto" Clark greeted the Kryptonian dog. He rubbed Krypto behind his ears,

"This is your dog?" Kara aksed,

"Yes…you…uh…wanna pet him?" Clark asked,

"Sure" said Kara she went up to Krypto started to pet him "Hi boy" she greeted him Krypto panted excitedly and wagged his tail. Krypto resembled a Dogo-Argentino like Dusty except his coat was solid white, like some Dogos and Kryptonians he had blue eyes.

"Here, Krypto" said Clark he showed him a map of the fortress, "You know where to go and no mistakes" Clark explained

Krypto barked a "Yes" and ran off.

"Where's he going?" Kara asked

"Long story, c'mon" said Clark.

Meanwhile…

While Clark and Kara went to lunch, up at the Artic a certain female Kryptonian was just getting up.

"Ohh...my aching back" Ursa groaned. She cracked her neck and sighed "At least that snow broke my fall" Ursa said to herself. The full grown female Kryptonian groaned as she moved onto her side. It wasn't long before Ursa let out a yelp of pain "My leg…wait a minute…Zod? Zod?" she sputtered.

Ursa managed to stand up and sniffed the air (not like a dog). She managed to find him laying on his back in the snow. She got down on her knees and touched his neck to check his pulse. She let out a sigh of relief, "He's alive" she muttered, just then Ursa quickly shook her head.

"What's wrong with me? Aw, forget it…I better check on Non" she continued. Ursa placed her right hand on his neck to check his pulse and was relieved to know that Zod and Non weren't dead, just unconscious.

"Phew!" she sighed, "Eh…they'll come around, now how to get out of here" Ursa said to herself. She looked up; obviously the only way to get out was to climb up the wall of ice. "Oh come'on" Ursa groaned, climbing wasn't something she really enjoyed doing. Swimming was also on the list, even though she was good at both.

After sitting for a few minutes, Ursa started to climb up the way, letting out an occasional: "Oop!" or "Oof!" when she slipped. She struggled and yelped a few times as she made her way up which wasn't so easy.

3 hours later…

Letting out a sigh of relief she boosted herself up onto the icy floor "I made it, phew!" she panted. Ursa then pulled her legs up; she groaned a little from the pain "Oh that hurts" she muttered. The female Kryptonian laid down on her left side and began to pant almost like a dog "I need a break" she said to herself before she continued to pant.

Further away, Superman's dog, Krypto was walking around the room when he picked up a female scent.

"That's not Lois" he thought with his nose pressed the floor Krypto followed the scent around the perimeter of the room. He paused when he saw a figure laying on the floor,

"What the..?" he muttered and trotted over to Ursa. Krypto was puzzled at what he saw; he sniffed Ursa's hair and began licking her face.

The full grown female Kryptonian let out a small moan "Stop it" she muttered. It wasn't long before she opened her chocolate brown eyes and saw Krypto staring at her

"Oh great, one of my biggest fears was passing out and then waking up to find a non-attractive person staring at me" she muttered. "Oh boy, I'm gonna have fun with this one" Krypto thought, his tail quickly started to wag.

While Krypto dealt with Ursa, back in Metropolis Clark and Kara were getting to know each other. "So that's the whole story" she concluded, Kara had just got through telling Clark about her family, Argo, etc…

"Golly, that's…quite a tale, Kara" Clark replied before taking a sip of Pepsi ™.

"You have an interesting life too" Kara pointed out she took a bite out of a French fry, currently she and Clark were sitting at a booth in a diner.

"Look, how about you spend the night at my place then later this week we'll go up to Smallville?" Clark offered,

"Ok, is it alright if Dusty comes too?" Kara asked.

"Dusty?" Clark answered in a puzzled tone,

"My dog" Kara answered,

"Oh sure" said Clark

"You know, uh…she's Krypto's cousin" Kara explained. "Really?" Clark continued Kara nodded, "Well...that's….I didn't see that coming" Clark continued. He glanced at his watch "Oh! I gotta get back to work, let's go" he told Kara, after paying the bill and leaving a tip the two of them left the diner.

Back in the Artic…

"I've got to do something about that dog" Ursa said to herself, Krypto had left her alone for a brief moment. She looked down and noticed a bottle of water in front of her,

Krypto barked and wagged his tail. It didn't take long for Ursa to figure it out "Oh…thank you" she told him she opened the bottle and took a few sips. The female Kryptonian didn't realized how thirsty she really was until she stopped and noticed the bottle was half empty. Ursa exhaled loudly "I needed that" she said to herself, she managed to sit up straighter, once again her muscles started to ache.

"Oy…I'm sore all over" she groaned, her body was shaking from the cold. Normally the cold wouldn't have bothered her that much, due to her tough Kryptonian skin but now that she didn't have the same abilities as Superman the cold affected her.

Ursa shuddered a little "I-It's c-cold" she stuttered, Krypto moved closer "What the…? Oof!" Ursa sputtered she felt Krypto gently knock her to the side. He laid down next to her trying to keep her warm. Krypto then started to lick her face again. "Ok, stop it…seriously though" Ursa tried to tell him, she giggled at the feeling.

Weather anyone else outside of Krypton knew it or not, Ursa liked dogs! Surprisingly she didn't mind Krypto's company. Although she was surprised that he was being nice to her, probably because he knew she was in pain and decided to help out regardless of her disliking Superman.

Ursa rubbed Krypto's head, "You probably have no idea what I've been through. Honestly, since I've been here with Zod and Non we…." Ursa stopped short and paused "Wait a second, did you just nod?" she asked.

Krypto nodded in response "Have you been nodding this whole time?" she continued,

Krypto nodded a second time.

"You understand me?" Ursa asked,

Krypto nodded once more

"Let's be honest, I'm kind of out of it aren't I?" she replied,

Krypto nodded a 4th time. "But you…you know Superman don't you?" she continued,

Krypto simply rolled his eyes in the opposite direction.

"Oh don't be modest, you're a dog for crying out loud…just go on with whatever you were doing" said Ursa.

Krypto barked an: "Ok" and stood up. He proceeded to walk away from Ursa, when he was a few inches away he stopped and looked back at her.

"I'll be fine" she told him, Krypto's tail wagged for a moment he knew Ursa would probably be alirhgt now that she had warmed up. The Kryptonian dog quickly ran off to another room. Back in Metropolis Clark wasn't the only person who was having an interesting moment.

"Wait here" he told Kara as he closed the car door, the two of them had stopped at a local gas station. "Hi" Clark greeted the casher, who actually was a mechanic,

"Howdy, I'm Frances" he replied,

"But your tag says Steve" Clark pointed out,

The mechanic looked at his shirt and laughed "You're right, it is Steve" he answered, Clark could tell the man was obviously playing a joke on him about his name being Frances.

"Look, Uh…Steve, just fill it up" Clark continued

"You got it" was Steve's response.

Seconds later…

"How much do I owe you?" Clark asked,

"Oh…uh…3.00" said Steve.

"3.00?! Are you crazy? The price couldn't have gone up like that" Clark exclaimed.

"Well, you see we just changed the price" Steve explained,

"What?" Clark sputtered

Steve pointed to another employee who was changing the gas price numbers.

"Still, I doubt it cost me what you asked for" Clark insisted,

"Hey, you can take it or leave it" Steve replied.

Feeling a little angry and ready to leave Clark grabbed his wallet and paid Steve.

"Alright, look here's 5 bucks and I'm not paying you another cent more" he continued.

"You better be glad I like you" Steve said with a laugh.

"Nut" Clark muttered, before getting in the car.

"Guy tried to charge you extra, huh?" Kara said to Clark

"How did you..?" he started to say…

(Snaps fingers)

"I forgot you can hear too" said Clark.

"That's right" Kara answered and smiled.

Back in the artic…

"Oy, even though I've been here before I still get lost in this place…huh?" Krypto wondered. He stopped and looked from the doorway and saw Zod and Non.

A male orange tabby cat, Streaky walked up to see what Krypto was looking at.

"What?" he aksed.

"Shh" Krypto whispered,

"You finally got up, huh?" Ursa asked, Zod groaned a little before answering.

"Climbing that ice isn't easy" he told Ursa.

"I know, it took me 3 hours" the female Kryptonian replied.

"3 hours?! You climbed up that for 3 hours? By yourself?" Zod asked.

Ursa nodded, she did look somewhat tired and had a few bruises but other than that she was fine.

"Huh…didn't seem to take that long for me and Non to get back up" Zod admitted.

"Probably because he helped you most of the way" Ursa pointed out.

Non gave Ursa a look as if to say: "Not probably, I did help him most of the way".

"So…have you seen anyone here?" Zod asked,

"If you mean Kal-El, no he and that Lois Lane must've left" Ursa answered.

"Luthor probably went with them too" Zod added,

"I did see a dog" Ursa continued.

"Dog? Luthor or Kal-El's?" Zod asked

"Kal-El's I don't think Lex Luthor has one" Ursa replied.

"Did the dog try to attack you?" Zod continued,

"No, actually, he….was kind of nice to me" Ursa explained.

Zod snicker at hearing this he was also a little surprised that a dog like Krypto would approach Ursa.

"What?" Ursa asked,

"Now that's a word I hardly hear you use" Zod admitted.

"So?" was Ursa's response.

"Oh never mind" Zod sighed; he looked up and saw Krypto "Uh…the dog you saw was he white with a yellow collar?" Zod asked.

"Yes, why?" Ursa continued

"Cause he's standing right there" Zod pointed out, Krypto looked up he realized he had been spotted!

"Get him" said Zod,

"Uh-oh they spotted us… Streaky, run!" Krypto told the Supercat.

"Maybe they know where Kal-El is, let's go" Zod continued,

Krypto started panting as he ran through the hall way.

"They're catchin' up to us" said Streaky who briefly looked over his shoulder.

"Out the back way" Krypto replied before the superpet duo went through the dog door attached to the rear entrance. It wasn't long before the Kryptonian trio caught up with them.

Panting heavily, Zod looked around for Krypto and Streaky. "Where'd they go?" he sputtered,

"This way" said Ursa who followed the pets' paw prints. The trio stopped at the back door and realized what the Superdog and cat had done.

"Great…c'mon let's follow them" Zod continued,

"Out there in the freezing cold?" Ursa aksed, she shuddered at the thought.

"What are you talking about? We…oh that's right" Zod said to Ursa as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You forgot what Kal-El did before you blacked out didn't you?" Ursa asked.

"Yes" Zod answered, Non snickered at the look on Zod's face.

"Shut up, you" he growled, it didn't take long for Non to stop, he sighed,

"Here we go again" Non thought.

"We're stuck again…as usual" said Ursa as she folded her arms.

"It's not so bad, remember on Krypton when…" Zod was cut off.

"Don't say it" Ursa replied,

"I still that that picture in my wallet" Zod announced.

"Say what?!" the female Kryptonian exclaimed. She knew Zod was referring to an embarrassing moment the trio had a few years back.

"Oh no" Non thought to himself.

"Listen, let's just leave that alone an focus on following that dog….now come'on" said Zod,

Ursa let out a loud sigh "He never gets tired of playing cat and mouse does he?" she asked, Non shook his head in response.

"C'mon let's go" Ursa sighed, the trio headed outside into the snow. So far it didn't seem bad at all, it was clear day although the sun was out it was still cold.

"Which way did they go?" Ursa asked,

"This way" Zod replied as they followed the trail of footprints in the snow.

"So, what do you plan to do once we find them?" Ursa continued,

"We'll worry about that later, right now let's focus on finding that dog and his friend" Zod answered.

About 1 ½ miles ahead were Krypto and Streaky; the trio had made a dash at super speed but didn't get very far.

"Think we lost 'em?" Streaky asked.

Krypto lifted his head up and sniffed the air, "Not yet, I can still smell them, we'll have to keep going, they're probably trying to follow us….c'mon" he replied. Although the two superpets tried to pick up the pace Zod & his posse were catching up.

"See anything?" Zod asked,

"No, just tracks, wait…!" said Ursa she sniffed the air for a moment "We're getting close, I can smell them" she told Zod.

No sooner did the trio climb over a small slope they spotted Krypto and Streaky just up ahead, "There they are" said Zod.

Krypto turned around and saw the 3 Kryptonians heading straight for them "Run for it!" he shouted, in a spilt second Krypto and Streaky started to run.

"Don't let them get away" Zod continued as he, Ursa and Non started to chase after two superpets. As they got closer Ursa slipped on a sheet of ice "Whoa!" she exclaimed and let out a yelp once she hit the ground.

"Ursa!" Zod called out, he heard her yelp in pain once more Zod turned back to Krypto and Streaky "I'll deal with two later" he growled. It wasn't long before the duo was out on the horizon and soon the dog and cat were no longer in site. "Are you ok?" Zod asked as he helped Ursa up.

"I slipped on some ice" she explained, the fully grown Kryptonian moaned a little "I picked the wrong day to wear heels" she continued. As she tried to move her right leg, Ursa yelped.

"Look, just sit here…" Zod was cut off,

"I'll be fine" said Ursa.

"Are you sure?" Zod asked

"It's easing up, I'll be ok" Ursa replied.

"Alright, let's go' Zod continued as he helped her get up. Meanwhile, back in Metropolis Kara had a run in with an old friend.

"Listen, I've still got work to do, I hope you don't mind waiting" said Clark,

"Oh, it's ok don't rush" Kara replied.

"Hey there, name's Jimmy Olsen" the young photographer greeted her,

"Hi" said Kara, she glanced down at his camera "Nice camera, you into photography?" she asked.

"Yeah…if you want, I can show you some of my pictures" Jimmy offered.

"Ok" was Kara's response feeling more relaxed Kara started to follow Jimmy.

"C'mon" said Jimmy

Kara looked back for a brief moment "See ya later, Clark" she continued.

The mild mannered reporter smiled "I'll be looking for you later on" he answered.

Kara grinned "We probably won't be that hard to find" she pointed out before heading off with Jimmy.

"Well, looks like Jimmy found something to do" said Lois,

"Same with Kara" Clark added.

Lois had been watching the whole thing from her desk and was happy to see that Kara and Jimmy had found something to do.

As the young duo walked through the Daily planet Jimmy couldn't help but glance at Kara from time to time, there was something about her that seemed familiar, if only he could put his finger on it.

"Uh…Kara….didn't you say you were Clark Kent's cousin?" Jimmy asked.

"Yeah, why?" was the blond's reply,

"Huh, you remind me of someone else who said she was his cousin too" Jimmy explained.

Kara's eyes bucked, she went from relaxed to nervous "Excuse me" she said and quickly dragged Jimmy into a nearby storage closet. "Jimmy, it's me…Linda" she confessed.

"Linda? But…." Jimmy was cut off

"Kara's my real name" the female Kryptonian admitted.

"You used a fake name?" Jimmy answered in a puzzled tone. Kara nodded, although she had pretty much blown her cover she felt better to get the whole thing off her chest, plus it made things easier.

"Look, I can explain…" Kara offered,

"I promise, I won't tell anyone but….what about Lucy?" jimmy continued.

Kara pinched the bridge of her nose "Ohh, I forgot about telling her…well, I guess it's ok if she knows, but nobody else, ok?" said Kara. Jimmy smiled

"Ok" he sighed,

"Good, now about those pictures" before Kara could finish her sentence Jimmy stepped in.

"Let's go" he said to her, though the minute he opened the closet door Alice was standing right outside! "Hi Alice" Jimmy said sheepishly.

"Did you two…?" she started to say

"No!" Jimmy and Kara replied simultaneously.

"Absolutely not! That never crossed my mind" Jimmy continued.

"Kay" said Alice before she walked off. Jimmy and Kara stood there for a moment feeling pretty dumbfounded about what had just happened.

"What did she think we were doing? Kissing?" Kara asked,

"Maybe" Jimmy answered.

The two of them shuddered at the thought.

"I don't think I want to picture that right now" Jimmy admitted

"Neither do I" Kara replied.

Jimmy and Kara did like each other but only as friends, Kara had 2 more years to go before she could find a mate. She knew on Krypton, both males and females had to wait until they were fully grown to search for a mate. By the time a Kryptonian had reached 20 he or she was officially an adult and could leave home.

A short time later the duo had reached the dark room. "Well this is it…the dark room" Jimmy asked

"It's dark alright" said Kara, the only light in the room was red colored.

"Here's one of my albums" Jimmy continued as he pulled a binder notebook out of a nearby drawer.

"I can't really see anything" Kara admitted,

"Let's take this outside" said Jimmy, he and Kara left the dark room and sat down on a desk that wasn't currently occupied. The two of them spent the next 20 minutes flipping through the pages. Kara was impressed; although she had been to a couple photo galleries in Argo city to her none of the photos could top the ones in Jimmy's album.

"You took all these yourself?" Kara asked,

"Yep" said Jimmy. He flipped over to the next page, Kara's eyes bucked when she saw the next photo.

"What's this one?" she asked,

"Oh, I took that when 3 nut jobs from Krypton came here" Jimmy explained.

"I've heard of those 3….they're nothing but trouble" Kara replied.

"Yeah they are, but don't worry I doubt we'll be seeing them anytime soon" Jimmy answered.

Wrong!

Back in the artic, Zod, Ursa and Non attempted to follow Krypto and Streaky's tracks which wasn't so easy. "Zod, we've been walking for a while now…can you see anything?" Ursa asked.

"Just more ice and snow" he replied, after stopping to pant he sniffed the air once more "I don't smell them, do you?" he asked Ursa.

"No" she answered with a sigh. Although they had been following Krypto and Streaky's tracks, the two superpets were long gone.

"We better keep moving, if we stay here too long we'll freeze" said Zod.

"Right" Ursa replied, she got up from where she was sitting and continued to follow Zod and Non.

Hours later…

"I can't keep walking Zod, my leg hurts" said Ursa who sat down in the snow. She rubbed her right leg which was sore.

"Just a little further" Zod continued

"Zod, leave me alone!" Ursa exclaimed.

At hearing this, the male Kryptonian backed away, he knew better than to mess with an angry female. "Ok, I'll be back…Non you stay here and keep her warm" Zod replied before he walked off.

It wasn't long before Ursa noticed Non moving closer to her, "I'm just fine, thank you very much" she told him. At that moment the wind started to blow causing Ursa to shudder. Feeling cold, she moved closer to Non.

After walking for about 15 minutes Zod found a small cave, he looked around from the entrance. "This'll work" he said to himself. Once he was sure it was empty; he then went back to Ursa and Non.

Minutes later…

"I found a place for us to stay, come'on" Zod announced.

"I'm not moving" Ursa answered,

"You know if you stay here you'll freeze…it's not that far" Zod explained.

It didn't take long for Ursa to think about it, letting out a loud sigh she decided to get up. "Ok" she said in a dull tone and stood up. Non held his left hand out, offering her some support. "Thanks, Non" she said to him, even with Non helping her, Ursa continued to limp. A few minutes later the trio reached the cave. "This is the place?" Ursa asked.

"I know it's not much, but at least we won't freeze" said Zod.

"Good point" Ursa agreed, she then noticed Zod and Non walking back outside "Where are you going?" she asked.

"I'll be back…" was Zod's reply

"You two are going to leave me by myself?" Ursa continued. Although she normally didn't mind being alone, Ursa didn't feel too comfortable with the idea now that was hurt.

"Oh c'mon, there's nothing around here for miles" said Zod.

"Uh-huh, sure thing" Ursa said in a sarcastic tone, Zod simply rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

"Let's go, Non" he sighed, and with that the two of them left.

An hour later, the duo returned. Ursa had decided to take a cat nap while they were gone. She was alerted by a small: "thud" and yelped, "Oh…you're back" she sighed.

"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you" said Zod.

Ursa looked at what he and Non had brought back, "Where'd you get the fish?" she asked.

"Some humans, left them along with a few other things, I doubt anyone will notice" Zod explained.

Wrong again!

"Hey Freddie what happened to the fish?" Bubba asked.

"Aw, looks like somebody came and got 'em" the other polar bear replied. Just then the two of them saw a truck drive by.

"Hey, check it out, tourists! Quick, let's follow them and look cute maybe they'll give us some snacks" Bubba continued, "Yeah" said Freddie as the two bears ran off after the truck.

Back in Metropolis…

"Well, I'm done" Clark sighed,

"Callin' it a day huh, Clark?" Lois asked. She noticed the mild mannered reporter had gotten up from his desk.

"Yeah" was Clark's response,

"So am I" said Lois she picked up her bag and proceeded to leave "See ya tomorrow" she continued.

(Door slams)

"She doesn't waste time does she?" Kara asked,

"Nope" Clark & Jimmy replied simultaneously.

"Well, I'll see ya tomorrow, Jim" said Clark,

"Bye Clark, bye Kara" Jimmy continued.

"See ya Jimmy" said Kara,

"Good night guys" Clark replied,

"Bye Clark" Alice called out.

"Kent, could you come here please?" Perry asked, Clark stopped in his tracks and went into Perry's office.

"Yeah?" was Clark's response.

"I heard about the situation with your cousin and I think you did a great job at handling it, took you only 2 minutes" said Perry.

Clark smiled "Thank you" was all he could say at the moment,

"So, what's the deal? Is she staying with you?" Perry asked.

"For now, yes, but I plan to take her up to Smallville this weekend to my parents' farm" Clark explained.

"Well, I hope she likes the outdoors she seems to be more of the city type" Perry continued.

"I think she will…see you tomorrow" said Clark.

"See you" Perry answered before Clark closed the door behind him, the editor sighed "Sometimes I worry about that guy" he said to himself as he looked at his day planner.

"So, you ready to go?" Clark asked,

"Oh sure…" Kara answered, "Bye Jimmy" she said to the young red head.

"See you Kara" said Jimmy, just then he had an idea. "Hey, maybe we can hang out again tomorrow" he suggested.

Kara smiled "Sure thing" was her reply before heading out the door with Clark.

Meanwhile…

"Fish wasn't that bad" said Ursa,

"I didn't think so either" Zod admitted before wiping his mouth with the back of his left hand.

The trio had gotten through eating the fish Zod & Non brought back. Towards the back end of the cave was a small pile of fish bones and burnt firewood, obviously used to cook the fish.

It didn't take long for Zod to break the silence between him and Ursa. "You haven't said anything for a while, is something wrong?" he asked.

The female Kryptonian looked up, she hesitated saying anything but then she answered: "You really want to know?"

"Yes" said Zod,

Ursa went from nervous to angry "Alright…it's you're fault we're in this mess!" she exclaimed.

At hearing this Zod's eyes bucked, he nearly fell over. "What?" he asked.

"You heard me, if we hadn't gone up here we'd most likely be back in Metropolis" Ursa continued.

"So, you're saying it's my fault that we're stuck here in this million acre ice box?" Zod continued to ask.

"That's right" said Ursa, Zod just stared at her for a moment, it was pretty obvious she wasn't in a good mood.

"Now hold on a moment, it's not my fault…" Zod replied,

"Uh-huh, you were the one who dragged us up here to find Kal-El and look what happened to us" Ursa continued.

"So?" Zod answered as he tilted his head,

Ursa was started to get a little ticked but nonetheless she tried hard to keep her cool. "So, it's your fault" she insisted.

"Would you stop saying that?!" Zod exclaimed "I'm telling you it's not my fault were stuck out here" he continued.

"Alright then but I'm not the one Superman had in a headlock" Ursa pointed out,

At that point, Zod was starting to lose his cool "Just knock it off would you?" he insisted.

"Well, this is another one your plans that backfired" said Ursa.

"It could've been worse you know, I mean we could be dead right now" Zod pointed out, Ursa got quiet and thought about it.

"That's true" she agreed, Zod blinked for a moment and looked at Ursa.

"Still think the whole thing is my fault, don't you?" he asked.

"Nothing gets past you does it?" The female Kryptonian replied.

"You know sometimes I think you're a stubborn…" Zod was cut off,

"Don't say it, Zod…don't say it" Ursa growled.

"You know what?" Zod asked,

"No, what?" Ursa answered.

Minutes later…

It wasn't long before the duo started to argue, the only sounds that could be heard besides the wind were Zod and Ursa shouting along with an occasional growl. "Not this again" thought Non as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"What do you think, Non?" Zod aksed, the male Kryptonian looked up at hearing his name and moved further away from Zod.

"I guess he's out of it and you know what? So am I, hmph!" said Ursa.

"Wait a second…so what, you're just going to stop talking to me?" Zod continued, Ursa simply nodded.

"You can't be serious" the male Kryptonian replied,

"Watch me" Ursa answered, Zod couldn't take it anymore he had enough of trying to deal with Ursa.

"Why you little…" He started to approach her but Non grabbed his right shoulder and shook his head. "Ok (sighs) we might as get some sleep, at this rate it'll be a while before we see that dog and cat again….they must be going to find Kal-El" said Zod. Just then he snapped his fingers "That has to be it! Now it all makes sense why they ran off…hello? Anyone here?" Zod continued, he was quickly alerted by Non's snoring.

"Oh never mind" he groaned and stretched out on the cave floor, "You ok, Ursa? Cause if you're cold…" Zod was cut off once again.

"I'm fine Zod, thank you" was Ursa's reply. She then let out a loud yawn and stretched out,

"Alright, just asking" said Zod. "Oh for crying out loud, what's wrong with me?" he thought. "Eh" he muttered and looked at Ursa once more, "How could a stubborn female like you be so beautiful?" Zod wondered. Just then he was startled by some noise which turned out to be Ursa's breathing, Zod sniffed the air for a moment. "Darn, she smells terrific" he thought. Although Ursa did smell like an average female Kryptonian, Zod noticed a slight French vanilla fragrance mixed in with her natural smell. It wasn't long before the fully grown male Kryptonian snapped out of his thought, "No, no stop it…it'd never work" he muttered. "Then again…ohh who am I kidding? He asked himself, Zod sighed and laid his head down on the floor. Looking at Ursa one more time he smiled. The female Kryptonian had fallen asleep; she let out a few small yelps and squeaks, her limbs also twitched in her sleep. It was obvious she was dreaming, Zod snickered at the site before closing his eyes. Within a few moments the Kryptonian trio was in a deep sleep…

Back in Metropolis, Clark and Kara were getting settled in.

"Well, this is it" Clark announced,

"Nice place" said Kara who looked around Clark's apartment.

"Thanks, uh…the guest room is down the hall…once you unpack I thought we could go down to Uncle Kong's Chinese take out" Clark continued.

Kara smiled, "Ok" she replied

"You know, even though you've only been here a few hours I've really enjoyed your company, Kara" Clark admitted.

"Thanks, I've enjoyed yours too…" said Kara. "Well, I better get unpacked…c'mon Dusty" Kara continued. The young Kryptonian dog quickly followed Kara down the hallway.

"I hope she's house broken" Clark replied,

"Oh don't worry, she is" Kara answered. She went into the guest room and started to unpack her suitcase along with a bag of Dusty's belongings.

Clark chuckled "Who knew having a cousin around could be so enjoyable" he said to himself. Sometime later once Kara had her things unpacked and organized she stepped out to the living room.

"It's going great, Ma…uh-huh, yes she's really nice…I'm bringing her up to the farm this weekend" said Clark who was on the phone with Martha Kent. He chuckled at hearing his Mom's voice on the other end "Ok, you do that, thanks Ma" Clark continued before hanging up the phone. "Ready to go?" he asked,

"Yeah, uh…did you want me to change? Cause it'll only take me a second" said Kara.

"Oh, no you're fine, let's go" Clark answered before the duo headed out the door. Uncle Kong's was down the street from Clark's apartment, the walk to it gave Clark and Kara a chance to talk, Kara also got to see Metropolis at night.

While they were there they decided to sit outside, "How's the chicken?" Clark asked,

"Great" said Kara, Clark glanced at her for a moment.

"Looks like you know your way around a pair of chopsticks" he pointed out.

"Really? Cause we use them sometimes on Krypton" Kara answered.

"Huh…didn't know that" said Clark before he took a bite of some Mongolian beef "So, Kara… you know Jimmy?" Clark asked.

Kara swallowed another piece of orange chicken before answering "Yeah…he…well…Lucy introduced me" she replied.

"Lucy?" Clark said in a puzzled tone,

"She's Lois Lane's sister" Kara added.

"Oh" was all Clark could say…

"Clark…" Kara started to say…

"Yes?" was his reply

"If things work out for me at the farm, would you be interested in…" Kara was cut off.

"In what?" he asked once more

"Coming to visit my parents on Argo?" Kara concluded.

Clark coughed, he had nearly choked on a piece of baby corn in the back of his mouth. "You serious?" he asked once he got himself together.

"Yes...oh c'mon, Clark wouldn't you like to meet someone related to you, other than me?" Kara continued.

"Sure I would but…" Kara cut him off,

"Seriously, other than Zod and his stooges have you met any other Kryptonians?" she asked.

"Well, there's you, Krypto and Dusty" Clark answered.

"But they're dogs" Kara pointed out

"Kryptonian dogs" Clark corrected her. Kara simply rolled her eyes at hearing this; she knew Clark was trying to dodge the whole subject.

"Now I understand why Lois goes through what she goes through…but…haven't you ever wondered what it'd be like to be around your own kind?" Kara continued to ask.

Clark shrugged his shoulders but nonetheless answered, "Well, yes…but after that run in with Zod it…maybe…I'll think about it" was his reply.

"Ok" said Kara before she took another sip of her iced tea, "But seriously, after what you did to Zod, I doubt he and his buddies will be back for a long time" she added.

Clark suddenly felt uneasy, "Eh…what makes you say that?" he asked nervously.

"Well they…uh…they're not dead are they?" Kara continued,

"Uh…I don't know" was all Clark could say,

"You mean you haven't checked?" Kara asked. The reply she got back from her cousin was a simple: "Uh…"

"Oh, Clark…" Kara groaned as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"I just assumed they were dead" Clark admitted.

"Well, if they are alive chances are they probably won't come back here, even if they tried they'd probably freeze" said Kara. Clark relaxed a bit more; his cousin did have a point.

"Yes, unless they…" he started to say,

"What? Hitchhike?" Kara continued.

Clark smiled "I seriously doubt anyone will pick them up after all the trouble they've caused" he admitted.

"Yeah" Kara agreed, it wasn't long before the two started laughing.

Meanwhile, one Daily planet reporter was having a rather tough time. Lois Lane was busy typing on her computer. Over the last hour and a half she was working on a small article that was due tomorrow. Feeling tired and a bit frustrated she stopped and sighed. Lois was quickly alerted by the sound of a dog whining. The dog then barked at her, Lois glanced down at the dog sitting next to her, "Hey Ryen" she greeted the dog and rubbed her head. "How's it going?" Lois asked, Ryen simply replied with a yawn. "I know, I'm tired too…" Lois admitted, she looked at the computer screen once more "That's it, I'm taking a break" she announced. She finished typing the last sentence in the article and saved the file. Lois yawned as the computer started to shut off, for a brief moment there was an awkward silence in the room. After glancing at her watch, Lois smiled at Ryen, "You know what?" I think the Jeffersons is on…let's go" she told Ryen and got up from her desk. Ryen was a Pitbull/American bulldog mix that Lois Lane adopted. She found Ryen wondering the streets as a 6 month old puppy while covering a story in Harlem, NY. She took a liking to the pup's spunky attitude and brought her back to Metropolis.

Back at Uncle Kong's…

"So, you looking foreword to seeing the farm?" Clark asked, by now he and Kara had finished dinner and paid their bill.

"Yeah, but it's nothing like the city" Kara replied,

"That's true" Clark agreed. He and Kara got up and headed back to the apartment, a few minutes later Clark unlocked the door and went in. "Well…(yawns) I'm going to get ready for work tomorrow….the remote's on the coffee table if you want to watch TV" he explained.

"Thanks" said Kara, once Clark was out of the room she sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. Dusty came and sat beside her, right at the moment the Jeffersons theme song could be heard in the room. "This should be good" Kara said to Dusty as she stroked her soft spotted fur.

Some time later Clark looked at his watch, "Well, that's done…" He said to himself "Kara?" He called but didn't a reply, he went into the living room and snickered at the site that saw. Kara was laying on the couch asleep with Dusty curled up at her feet; Clark noticed the credits for the Jeffersons were being shown. He picked up the remote and flipped off the TV, "C'mon, wake up" he told Kara. The young blond opened her eyes and yawned.

"Sorry Clark I was…" She stopped short to stretch.

"I understand, come'on let's go to bed…" he told her

"Good idea" Kara answered, she got up from the couch and headed towards her room. "Good night, Clark" she said to him.

"Night, Kara" was his response before heading into his room.

"Oy…I'm worn out" Kara groaned once she got into her room. Shortly after that she began changing her clothes.

"So, what are you gonna do?" Dusty asked,

"Tomorrow? I don't know, Clark's probably gonna be at work" Kara replied once she had her pajama shirt on.

"Why don't you hang out with Jimmy?" Dusty continued,

"The copy boy?" Kara answered in surprise,

"Why not? You guys get along" Dusty pointed out.

"That's true, let me sleep on it, kay?" said Kara.

"Ok" Dusty answered with a yawn, she was now curled up on the foot of the bed.

"Good night, Dusty" Kara continued,

"See you tomorrow" the young dog replied. Within a few minutes the two of them had fallen asleep.

The next morning Kara and Dusty got their wake up call, "Wake up, Kara, 6:00 am" said Clark.

The young female Kryptonian moaned "6 am? It's bright outside, we got all day" she muttered.

"Exactly!" Clark told her and pulled off the covers causing Kara to let out a surprised yelp. "C'mon" Clark insisted,

"Kay" Kara sighed; she normally didn't wake up early. Like on Earth, Kryptonian students had summer vacation, something Kara enjoyed mostly because she got to sleep in. After taking a shower and getting dressed, Kara went into the kitchen.

"So, you like it here?" Clark asked, Kara yawned before answering.

"So far, yeah" she replied,

"Great…" was Clark's reply, there was silence in the room but only for 2 minutes. "Um….you…uh…told your folks about me?" he asked. Kara had a rather sheepish look on her face,

"Yes, well…what I heard before I went home" she explained.

"Oh" was all Clark could say, he took a sip of his coffee.

"Anything interesting happen lately?" Kara asked,

"Not really…oh! Lois is filling in for Maureen as a critic for some restaurant opening on the pier" Clark answered. Kara simply rolled her eyes.

"Wow and I thought Metropolis was supposed to be exciting" Kara said in a dull tone.

"Sure it is, there's museums, the Performing Arts Theater and school, the zoo and then there's the beach…so it's not that bad" Clark explained.

"Yeah, you got a point" Kara agreed before taking a bite out of some toast,

"You could always take Dusty to the dog park" Clark added.

"Great idea, this'll give her a chance to be around some earth dogs…you'd like that wouldn't you girl?" said Kara.

Dusty barked in response, Kara giggled "I thought so" she continued and stroked Dusty's fur.

"Well, we better get a move on; I got to be at work in another 30 minutes" said Clark who had finished and took his plate to the sink.

"He's not so bad," Kara admitted,

"No" Dusty agreed,

"I just want him to lighten up, a little…ya know, he's kind of protective" said Kara,

"So? Most relatives are…like your Dad" Dusty added.

"Yeah but, Clark takes it to a sort of critical level" Kara explained

"Critical? Like how?" Dusty asked. She raised her left eye brow at hearing this, just then Clark's voice rang out:

"Kara"

"Yeah Clark?" she called back.

"If you ever get startled or excited, please…try not to burn something up" Clark continued, referring to her heat vision.

Dusty looked in the direction of Clark's room, then back at Kara. "Ohh…now I get it" she replied.

"Yes, but c'mon I don't scary easily" said Kara just then she noticed something crawling across the table

"Yaah! Spider!" she yelled.

"Got it" said Clark who hit the spider with a newspaper causing a loud: "splat". Dusty looked at Kara and giggled.

The young Kryptonian gave her an angry look, "Not a word, ya got it?" she growled, Dusty simply nodded in response.

Sometime after breakfast, Clark and Kara headed over to the Daily planet. It didn't take long for Kara to spot Jimmy and soon the duo was caught up in a rather long conversation.

"So your cousin plans to show you around, huh?" Jimmy asked

"Well, just until I head up to his parents' farm" Kara replied.

"Which is…?" Jimmy continued,

"Saturday" was Kara's response.

"Oh…you, uh…gonna spend the night?" Jimmy answered, Kara stopped to think for a moment.

"I guess so" she sighed before taking a sip of her bottled water. "I mean I don't have any other place to go at the moment" she admitted.

Jimmy paused for a moment before continuing on. "So I guess the Midvale thing is out" he concluded.

Kara nodded "I kind of burned that bridge" she said in a sheepish tone, Jimmy chuckled.

"Not quite, look who's coming" Jimmy replied, Kara looked up and saw what he was talking about.

"Lucy?! Oh no, she's gonna see me" Kara groaned and hid behind Jimmy.

"Hey! Watch the jacket" Jimmy sputtered, "Hey Lu" he greeted her.

"Hi Jimmy…" Lucy replied back she quickly glanced over at the figure hiding behind him, "Uh…who's your friend?" she asked.

Finally Kara decided to show her face "It's no use, Jim…might as well tell her" she sighed.

Lucy raised her right eyebrow at hearing this "Tell me what?" she continued.

"Hi Lucy" said Kara, she continued to look at her nervously. Lucy's eye bucked but nonetheless she answered:

"Linda?"

Kara nodded, then it all started to make sense to her, Lucy then noticed something familiar about Kara. "Wait a minute, you look just like…" Jimmy cut her off.

"Um…c'mon, Lucy I'll explain it to you" he offered

"Kay" was Lucy's reply as Jimmy pulled to the side. Kara lowered her head and sighed.

"Nice work, Kara" she muttered,

"It could've been worse" Dusty pointed out,

Meanwhile a few blocks away Kara wasn't the only one who was having a moment. Lex Luthor sighed out loud and began tapping his fingers on his desk. "Bored?" Ms. Teschmacher asked.

Lex snapped out of his thought and looked at her "Yes" he said in a dull tone.

Ms. Teschmacher looked down for a moment "Same here" she admitted,

"You've been working on that Rubik's cube for almost an hour, how could you be bored?" Lex continued.

"It gets dull after a while…wanna take a crack at it?" Ms. Teschmacher asked.

"Nah, I got one of those on my desk" said Lex as he picked up his Rubik's cube and sighed. "Somebody put me outta my misery" he groaned.

"Mr. Luthor" a familiar voice called out,

"I meant somebody else" Lex muttered who instantly recognized the voice. It wasn't long before a familiar figure stepped into the room.

"Hey" he greeted them,

"Otis!" Ms. Teschmacher exclaimed. She quickly got up from her seat and went to hug him.

"How'd you get out?" Lex asked, he noticed Otis was wearing regular civilian clothes.

Otis sat down to explain "Well, after weeks of mopping floors, doing laundry and walking dogs they let me go for good behavior" he answered. Lex's jaw was hanging wide open, he couldn't believe it. But then again Otis was always the 'nice guy' in his group.

"That's great" said Ms. Teschmacher,

"So…uh…did I miss anything?" Otis asked.

"Oh yes I…" Lex was cut off

"Made a deal with 3 Kryptonian nut jobs about owning Australia" Ms. Teschmacher finished for him.

"And Cuba, don't forget Cuba" Lex added.

"For what?" was Otis' reply he was a bit puzzled about this one.

"Real estate" Lex and Ms. Teschmacher said simultaneously,

"Oh…you know I saw those people on the news, they did quite a number on the Daily planet" Otis continued.

"Yeah they sure did (sighs) and now they're gone" Lex said in a dull tone.

"Gone? Lex you don't think they're dead do you?" Ms. Teschmacher asked. After the trio left Metropolis no one had heard what happened to them. Superman didn't really mention anything for that matter ether.

"Well, nobody's seen or heard anything about them in last few months" Lex pointed out.

"That's true, but…" Ms. Teschmacher was cut off,

"But what?" Lex asked.

"It's a crazy thought but…if they are alive maybe they'd try to come back here" she continued.

"Maybe, though…I doubt that, there isn't really anything up there but ice and snow" said Lex regarding the last time he saw the trio was in the Artic.

"And polar bears" Otis added.

"Please, I doubt any bear would come within 12 feet of them…the bear would probably take one look at 'em and run" Lex answered.

At that moment all 3 of them started laughing. The idea was pretty hilarious at least to Lex, Otis and Ms. Teschmacher.

"I know I would" Otis admitted once he got himself together "So, got anything planned?" he asked.

"No, not really…" Lex replied, he glanced at a small object sticking out of Otis' bag "You got a Rubik's cube?" he asked.

"Yeah, why?" Otis answered. It was pretty obvious that he and Ms. Teschmacher weren't the only ones with Rubik's cubes.

"How's that working out?" Lex continued,

"Oh, I finished it" Otis announced.

"You did?" Ms. Teschmacher asked in a surprised.

Lex smiled for a moment "Heh, he probably ate it" he said with a laugh. He stopped short when Otis placed his Rubik's cube on the desk "You're not kidding…ok smart guy…let's try something else" Lex replied. He got up from his desk and went over to a nearby bookshelf. It didn't take him long to come back with a Checkerboard.

"Think he's up to something?" Otis asked.

"Maybe, his eyes are dancing" Ms. Teschmacher whispered.

"Yeah" Otis agreed as he watched Lex set up the checkerboard.

Back at the Daily planet…

"Oy…what am I gonna do?" Kara groaned. Her secret was already out of the closet since she told Jimmy now Lucy knew.

"It's probably not that bad" said Dusty,

"Yeah, you got a point…" Kara sighed, she then noticed Lucy heading in her direction.

"Look Lucy I…"Kara started to say,

"Everything's fine" the young red head replied.

"It is?" was Kara's response. Lucy nodded,

"I'll see you later…" said Lucy and with that she walked away, Kara and Dusty could hear her whistling "Double-Dutch bus" as she walked down the hall.

"So, what'd you tell her?" Kara asked once she saw Jimmy.

The young photographer smiled, "Easy, I told her what you had told me" he explained.

"And that did it?" Kara continued,

"Not quite, I also told her your real name" Jimmy added, at that moment Kara hit the floor with a small: "thud" "Oh brother" Jimmy groaned.

The next day…

Somewhere up north, a certain trio of Kryptonians were just starting to wake up, Zod was the first. Lifting his head he let out a loud yawn and rubbed his eyes. "Psst…Non, you awake?" he asked, the large male Kryptonian simply moaned in a drowsy tone. "C'mon" Zod sighed, he eventually got up but in the process he disturbed Ursa.

"Huh, what?" she sputtered and yawned.

"We're leaving today" Zod announced,

"Oh" was Ursa's reply she sat up and stretched. Before leaving the trio finished up the last of the fish.

"We better get a move on" Zod pointed out,

(Silence)

"You still not talking to me are you?" he asked.

Ursa shook her head,

Letting out a loud sigh Zod continued on.

"Well…let's go" and with that he got up.

Non looked back at Ursa for a moment he couldn't believe it either. Though he couldn't talk he could hear, one thing's for sure he wasn't stupid.

Ursa looked back at him, "I'm ok, Non…really" she said to him, her voice tone was calmer than usual. Non whined, "I'm sure" said Ursa; she knew Non was asking if she was sure she didn't need any help. Though it took her a while to adjust to him not talking; she gradually understood what certain growls, yelps and other behaviors meant. One time, she even suggested Non write down what he had to say using a pen and notepad.

The large male Kryptonian smiled and nodded an "Ok" and headed outside. "I don't believe this; she's really not talking to me!" Zod thought.

"Huh, he's shocked I haven't really said a think to him….well. I meant what I said and I said what I meant" Ursa quietly. "Wait a second, that sounds familiar" she thought, it didn't take her long to shake it off. "Eh, forget it" she muttered and continued walking.

Thursday…

"Well, looks like you and Jimmy are getting along" said Clark,

"Oh yeah, Lucy invited us to some new gemstone exhibit at the museum," Kara explained. "Wanna come?" she asked.

"Sorry, I'll be working late tonight" Clark answered. "You uh…have the spare key to the apartment, right?" he continued,

It wasn't long before Kara pulled out the spare key in her left pocket "Right here" she replied.

"Kara, let's go! Lucy's already downstairs waiting for us" Jimmy called out.

"Coming" she answered back, "See you" she told Clark.

"Have fun" he said to her.

"Bye" Kara shouted back before heading out the door, Clark smiled. Even though Kara had only been staying with him a couple days, the two cousins seemed to be getting along pretty well.

"Wow, somebody's certainly been busy" said Lois, Clark snapped out his thought.

"Oh yeah" he sighed Clark then noticed a shadow over him and was a bit startled "Aah!" he yelled and fell over.

"Lois how long have you been standing there?" he asked once he got up.

The female reporter glanced at her wrist watch then back to Clark "5 minutes. Just long enough to see your face light up like a neon sign, before I startled you" Lois answered with a chuckle.

"Very funny" Clark said in a firm tone.

"Kent, could you come to my office for a second?" Perry asked.

"Sure" said Clark who got up. "Excuse me, Lois" he continued as he rushed past her.

"Take your time, I'm in no rush whatsoever" she replied.

"Huh?" she sputtered,

"You ok, Lois?" Alice asked,

"Yeah I just…felt kinda dizzy for a moment, I better sit down" she answered.

"Darn cramp" she muttered,

"You know, maybe you should call your doctor and tell 'em about this" Alice pointed out.

"Oh c'mon Alice I doubt it's that serious" said Lois, she groaned a little "Ouch!" she continued, she felt a Charlie horse in her right leg.

"How long have you been having these pains anyway?" Alice asked.

"A couple days, why?" Lois replied

"Oh it's no big deal, just be careful, ok?" said Alice.

"I will" was Lois' response. She took a sip of some water in a paper cup and went back to her desk. Lois stopped midway and thought about what Alice said. She had been working hard lately and wasn't exercising that much; which would explain the muscle cramps & aches. "Maybe I should get that checked" she agreed.

Alice snickered "I think you should" she told Lois and slightly giggled.

"What's so funny?" Lois asked,

"Oh it's not a big deal "Alice said with a laugh "Enjoy yourself" she continued before heading back to her desk.

"What's she talking about?" Lois wondered, "Eh" she muttered and shook it off, but then she figured out what Alice was laughing at. "No she couldn't have meant to do that, nah... that's crazy" Lois said to herself. She figured out that Alice was probably laughing at the scenario. The reason was more than likely that Lois usually never liked to admit when she needed help on something.

As the female reporter continued typing somewhere in the artic Zod and his stooges were still walking.

The trio eventually stopped and began to pant.

"Phew! I had no idea we had traveled this far…we've been walking for what? 5 hours?" Zod panted. Yesterday the trio had walked through the snow and ice covered landscape. They did stop once in a while to rest and caught fish through holes in the ice made by polar bears and walruses. The trio continued until sunset and spent the night in a cavern made of ice. The next morning they set out once more. Just then Zod remembered something "Oh right, I forgot, you're silent…hmph!" he said to Ursa. After resting for 30 minutes, Zod, Ursa and Non continued on.

"Think we lost 'em?" Streaky asked,

"Oh yeah" said Krypto, he and Streaky had worked on avoiding Zod and his stooges, until they could contact Superman.

Just then the dog of steel looked back and could see the Kryptonians in distance "Maybe not, run!" he told Streaky.

"There they are!" Zod exclaimed, it wasn't long before the three Kryptonians started to chase the 2 superpets.

"And to think I thought this was over" Streaky continued as he ran.

"Guess not" said Krypto as he and Streaky continued running…

MORE TO COME…

Another cliffhanger! Oh brother, looks like Krypto and Streaky will have to work their way outta this scenario. Again I apologize for the long wait on this chapter…

Between everyday life and taking a trip outta town last week it kinda caught up with me.
