Chapter 11: Birth and Consequences Part II

Krypton City, The Planet Krypton:

Trinity stared at the baby that was crawling on the floor as Jor-El and Zor-El worked together on the design matrix of the ship that would carry baby Kal-El to Earth. She then smiled.

"Your going to save lives," She whispered to the baby. Lara came in and embraced the young woman.

"I bring good News, Jor-El. General Zod's wife Faora has just been found guilty of terrorism and will be banished to The Phantom Zone pending Jor-El's findings. How's the ship coming?" Lara asked.

"Fine. Contact Lord Vader. Ask him to channel funds to help me aid in building this ship. Although General Zod is gone, He's turned the Ruling Council against me in some shape form or fashion," Jor-El said.

"What do you mean, Brother dear?" Zor-El said.

"I went before the Ruling Council to tell them what Zod did, and they denied the report that General Zod fired a ballistic missle into our sun, and Zod's lawyers are trying to convince the Council to have him released," Trinity said. Lara stared at her with a look of shock and mistrust.

"They can do that?" Lara asked. Jor-El nodded. "It's called an appeal. We adopted that type of law from the Humans on Earth and was inacted almost a century ago. When my grandfather applied for Councilship, that law was enacted, but it rarely happens due to Brainiac's help. Once Prisoners are in the Zone, It's rare that they are released. I also had heard that Faora is pregnant, but I don't know how true that is," Jor-El said.

"Let me help you with the ship," Trinity gently said.

"No, my daughter, you must go back to Earth to aid Kal-El. He cannot stop Zod alone. If he has allies, he will need yours. Take this crystal," Lara said. She shoved into Trinity's hand a crystal that resembled a Zip drive.

"Install that into one of your computers and you will have access to Brainiac as he is here on Krypton. You can ask him anything you want. He won't harm you. Create a password for it as you would for your modern computers and this will allow Brainiac to 'infect' the computer to bring Kryptonian data more easily. We can open a portal anywhere on Earth you like, But you must hurry or all is lost," Jor-El said.

"Open one to the Kent farm. Lois Lane is there and she can help me with this installation, but how can I keep her from knowing what it is?" Trinity asked.

"it will look like binary code to the human eye, but to you it will look normal," Zor-El said.

"We must hurry!" Lara said as she picked up Kal-El. They then felt a rumble as a tremor rocked the city.

"Any chance of having the council listen to you now?" Zor-El asked. Jor-El shook his head.

"Zod has too many supporters, but we will overcome this," Jor-El vowed.

"My Neice, you must go!" Zor-El said as he moved to the console and programmed in the coordinates for the Kent farm as it was in Early 2009.

"step through the portal and you will be tranported home. If you ever want to revisit Krypton, simply program into your computer a coordinate setting using the Kryptonian Key that will come with Kal-El's ship and you can come visit us anytime," Jor-El said. She then removed the Kryptonian Key from her pocket.

"You mean this?" She said. Zor-El stared at it.

"Knight Industries Technologies bought this Key from LuthorCorp two years ago. Lionel was not happy, but he had no choice, considering we both were trying to protect Kal-El from his son," Trinity said.

"My daughter, I love you. I always will," Jor-El said as both he and Lara embraced the young woman. She then stepped through the open portal.

Kryptonian symbols swirled around her as she looked behind her and she saw time move forward to see Krypton explode and a small ship followed shortly thereafter by Kara Zor-El's ship and fragments of Krypton floated aimlessly in space.

"I will miss you, Father," She said quietly. She saw time move forward as she got closer to the Planet Earth. She saw her own personal history unfold from her birth to her first meeting with Clark Kent at Smallville High School in 2001, the day that 9/11 happened.
