Kal-El had reached Krypton on time.

But the crystal Moira Sullivan had given him was not the right one. And whether that was a mistake on Lor-Zod and his mother's part, was yet to be known. All Kal-El knew, was that he had to help organize and get the people of Krypton to transports, so they could either come to Earth, or travel to their sister, surviving planet of Crixon. And from Jor-El's calculations, both Earth, Crixon and a few planets that had no forms of life, would weather the debris from the explosion of Krypton.

Davis was at the Fortress with Jor-El when Kal-El came through on the console screen, informing his father of what was happening, and how he was leaving with Lara, Kara and her parents, Zor-El and Alura. Needless to say, Kal-El had some harsh words for 'Lor-Zod'...

"You," Kal-El began looking at Lor-Zod as he stood next to Joe-El, "should leave Earth as quickly as possible. Because once it becomes known that YOU are the reason this is happening, that millions of Kryptonians are being displaced from the only home they have known, you will die. Someone will kill you."

Davis had no reply. He had known what was happening could always be a possibility, but somehow he thought he had more time! Or maybe he hadn't known what he was thinking. He gave Jor-El an uneasy look.

"I truly never meant for this to happen." he said, bowing his head. Jor-El looked from him to the screen.

"Kal-El, get your mother and all other family members to the transport as quickly as possible. Do not waste anymore time there. I will gather other Kryptonians and see if we can do what we can here. Many earthlings are in all likelihood, being maimed or killed by the debris coming in."

"Keep Lois safe! Please, Father! She is the mother of my future child and I..."

Kal-El was cut off as the screen went black. Jor-El tried to quell his emotions that were swelling a little at a time. This was it. Lara would be coming here to this planet and he would have to confess that he had taken another wife, during his tenure here.

And Ella...Ella would have to deal with his betrayal as well. Jor-El wanted both women but Lara was to be his wife. He did not know if Ella would find this arrangement acceptable. He dearly hoped she would though.

His eyes focused on Lor-Zod. How could he have been so foolish with regards to this young man?

Probably because Jor-El had assumed he had more time to make things right, before the unthinkable happened on Krypton.

"This should not be happening. That crystal should have kept this from happening." Jor-El said calmly.

"How did you find it? I know I said it was at Wayne Enterprises but that building is vast. How did you find the exact location of where I had hidden it?"

Jor-El raised a brow.

"Moira gave us the crystal, Lor-Zod. You obviously gave it to her."

Davis slowly shook his head.

"No, I most certainly did NOT! I would never put my mother in that kind of peril! My father would have come after her for sure! I hid it amongst some of the meteor rocks from Krypton that I brought here. It is in a secret compartment in my desk at work!"

Zod was the one that was insistent that Moira had it! Then she presented it to them! What was going on here? Surely Zod had not purposely caused the destruction of their home planet, had he?

But when Jor-El replayed that moment in his head, it was Moira that came to mind. If what Lor-Zod was saying was true, then how did she even know about the crystal and it's importance? He was sure that neither Kal-El or himself had said anything to her about it. Ella knew nothing about it.

"What is it, Jor-El?" Davis asked, seeing him lost in thought. Jor-El pulled himself out of his unpleasant reverie and looked at him.

"Your mother gave us that crystal. Kal-El took it and for some reason, it did not work. Did Moira know about it?"

"I don't know...I visited her a couple of times and talked...maybe, I don't remember. But I never gave it to her. Nor would I have given her a replica." Davis insisted.

"She needs to be confronted, Lor-Zod. Either you do it, or I will. And if I have to do it, I cannot promise it will not be pleasant." Jor-El warned him.

"Jor-El! My mother would not just hand you over a duplicate crystal, knowing people's lives are at stake!"

"We don't know what your mother would do, Lor-Zod, when you think about it," Jor-El cautioned him, "she has been out of everyone's lives for years. You don't really know her at all."

"I understand what you are trying to say. I do. Can I please get my final injection so that I can go out into the world without hurting anyone?" Davis quietly pleaded. Yes, Jor-El had managed to find a sample of Kal-El's hair in a comb he had in his bedroom at the mansion! Kal-El would not be pleased, of course,to learn of this bit of subterfuge, but Jor-El was above all, a man of science. He just knew that his theory could help Lor-Zod. He would probably have to leave the planet anyway. But even on other worlds, he wouldn't hurt or kill anyone.

Jor-El nodded and walked over to where he kept a set of syringes. He picked up the tell tale one and Davis rolled up his shirt sleeve. Jor-El quickly injected him, then watched for Lor-Zod's reaction...

Lor-Zod dropped to the ground! Jor-El quickly set down the syringe. This had not happened before, though he could tell that the injections were uncomfortable, even by Kryptonian standards. He moved to lean over Lor-Zod, when the Fortress itself began to shake and crumble!

A Seal team burst in and began firing bullets made from Kryptonian meteor rock, at Jor-El and Lor-Zod! Lor-Zod disappeared under a huge chunk of the Fortress, before he could be hit, but Jor-El was hit in the arm and dropped instantly! The Seal team, seeing the perilous situation, quickly snatched up Jor-El only, before getting out of there! They would return later after the quake ended, to see what they could learn of this place.

It would be almost a half an hour after the team had left, that someone would emerge from the ice wreckage. But the man would not look like Lor-Zod. It would be someone who looked disturbingly like a 'Bizarre Kal-El'...

Bruce had not been able to get to Lois when she was hit with a chunk of meteor rock and knocked unconscious! When the storm subsided a bit, Bruce managed to get to her, pick her up and carry her back to the mansion. His car was still in tact(though two others weren't) and he managed to put Lois into the backseat, just as Ella hurried out of the house!

"Bruce! My God, was Lois hit?"

"Lois said you were headed to Metropolis?" Bruce asked distractedly.

"I was when this...whatever, started! One of those rocks crashed into the pool house! I'm calling 911 for Lois!"

"They're probably swamped with emergencies. I'm taking her myself to the Smallville ER."

"I'm coming with you." Ella said, peering up at the sky and then gasping! Bruce followed her gaze and refrained from reacting.

The sky was almost dark with Kryptonians flying. Were these Kryptonians that were leaving this planet or arriving here?

Probably the latter. He looked at Ella, who looked perplexed.

"What does this mean? Why are so many of them in the sky?"

"Never mind that. Let's just hope that none of them stop us from getting Lois help. Let's go." Bruce told her, opening up the front door passenger seat for her. But Ella declined and got into the back seat, cradling Lois's head in her lap.

When they got to the ER, Lois was taken right away because of her condition. Ella took out her phone, saw she still got service and called the hospital in Metropolis to let Chloe know that there would be a delay in bringing her home. But all she got in response was that the lines were down in that area! Ella hung up and closed her eyes. God, if something had happened to Chloe as well, she didn't know how she or Moira would handle it...

Moira! Ella dialed the number of the new cell phone she had set her sister up with, praying that she would answer! After two rings, Ella heard her sister answer and sighed with relief!

"Moira, thank God! Was the inn hit?"

"No. It was spared. Are you alright?"

"I am but Lois isn't. She was out with Bruce and got hurt. We're at the ER here in Smallville. Moira, I can't get through to the hospital in Metropolis and I'm worried! I was going to pick up Chloe when this thing happened! Not to mention that I don't know where Jor-El is or if this catastrophe just hit us or Washington. Lucy could've been hurt..."

"Jor-El is married, Ella. He is probably with his wife." Moira said matter-of-factly.

Ella took the phone away from her ear in confusion, for a brief moment, before answering.

"Moira, are you alright?"

"Ella, I am fine. And you will be too. But chances are Kal-El has brought his mother here from Krypton..."

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Ella snapped. Now she was convinced that the Inn was either hit or that Moira was slipping back into some form of crazy! Well, she didn't have time for it! Lois could be dead!

Meanwhile, on her end, Moira stood in front of a floor mirror-naked. Her dark hair was draped over one shoulder as she stared at her reflection while talking to her sister. She then dragged her eyes off of her image and turned away from it.

"What I am talking about, is betrayal. Jor-El and Kal-El and his kind are here to rule. Marrying you was some kind of experiment to see what Earth women were like. Jor-El is not a widower. Not to mention that Kal-El is trying to impregnate Lois..."

"Okay, Moira. I have to go. You'd better get your shit together if you ever want to repair your relationship with Chloe, okay? And if I hear anymore of this nonsense, I'm calling Dr. Crosby. You might have to go back to the hospital."

Moira smiled on her end.

"You'll find out for yourself, sister, that you have been played for a fool..."

Moira suddenly gasped and Ella's eyes widened with concern!

"Moira? Moira? What happened? Are you hurt?"

But Moira was not hurt. Her back was to the mirror and the large, mammoth sized gray hands of Darkseid, reached through the glass and glided up Moira's sides until they stopped right below her breasts. He hefted them one at a time like an erotic juggler before he thrust his monster sized bulk into her! Moira now moaned!

"Moira, what's wrong?" Ella asked, her voice rising.

"Nothing." Moira answered, half biting her lip to keep from betraying how deeply Darkseid filled her with his organ.

"It doesn't sound like nothing!"

"Call me when you find out the truth about Jor-El!" Moira told her before hanging up. She dropped the phone and Darkseid emerged from the mirror completely and began to move within her with staccato like precision. Moira arched her back and cried out in response to each of one of his almost ferocious penetrations. As they moved as one, a dark glow swept over Moira.

By the time they were through, Moira looked ten years younger! Darkseid withdrew from her and turned her around to face him.

"You have done well, Moira. The crystal I gave you finished Krypton. Chloe will have the cure she needs to restore her eyesight."

Moira nodded. Screwing this God had not been an easy task for her. He had come to her when she was catatonic. Then suddenly she was not catatonic.

Soon, she was taking Darkseid in her mouth when he would visit her. And after a few times, she felt like her old self. But she had to act as if she wasn't. The point of all of this was to teach Zod a lesson and help her son.

But she knew what Darkseid was. She was sleeping with a devil to get revenge on another demon. And Moira hated Zod more than she hated servicing Darkseid.

"Moira," Darkseid said, enveloping her chin in his large hand, "there is more that needs to be done."

"I know. The child that Lois will end up carrying."

"I want it. Either I want that child, or I want Chloe as my wife."

"You'll have the child." Moira told him. There was no way in the HELL she was turning Chloe over to this thing! No way in hell! Lois had no business doing what she was doing with Kal-El. She would play the loving aunt and then when the child was born, she would turn him or her over to Darkseid to raise.

Moira then immediately kneeled before him to revive his manhood with her mouth. She thought of Davis and Chloe. She was doing this for them. She was doing this for their future.

Ella stared at her phone for a moment, before putting it in her purse. Whatever the hell was going on with her sister, she did not have the time for it! She walked over to Bruce, who was just finishing up a call to Dr. Hamilton. He would fly him here if he had to, but Bruce would just feel better if Dr. Hamilton was overseeing Lois's recovery.

"Mr. Wayne, I'm at the Metropolis hospital! I can't leave! There are too many people injured!"

"What about Chloe Sullivan? Can you at least tell me if she's alright?" Bruce asked, now looking at Ella, who was staring up at him expectantly.

"I saw her leave with someone before the meteors hit. I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne but she would've been out on the road when this happened."

"God...well get here when you can." Bruce said before hanging up.

"What was that about Chloe?" Ella asked.

"Ella, a doctor I was going to have brought in for Lois, saw Chloe leaving with someone before the meteor storm. Maybe she could have made it back to the house?"

"That would've been the woman we hired to work with Chloe as she adjusts to her new condition. Let me call the house. Hopefully I can get through. If the doctors come out with news about Lois..."

"You will be the first to know." Bruce assured her, then watched Ella walk off to make a call. He found himself wondering if she would have really slept with Kal-El? He was having momentary doubts about what Dr. Hamilton had told him. Maybe he should have waited to confirm all of this before telling Lois?

No, Bruce told himself. Lois could not continue sleeping with Kal-El if this was even remotely true. Hell, Bruce didn't want her sleeping with Kal-El if it WASN'T true!

A doctor came out and walked up to him.

"You brought in Miss Lane?" he asked tersely.

"Yes, how is she?"

"Still unconscious. And there is something else: there is a mark on her thigh that is, well...there is no other way to say this..it's glowing. I don't know if this is some sort of radioactive response to being hit by meteor rock or what. But I need to call some specialists in." the doctor told him.

"I have called her regular doctor. He will be here shortly. He is aware of that mark." Bruce informed the doctor. But the doctor, who's name was 'Reedy', was not having it!

"Mr. Wayne, I'm just going to be upfront. I can't see how that mark got on her in that area. She was hit on the back of the head. It looks suspicious. I'm afraid a rape exam will have to be performed."

Bruce's eyes widened! Especially since this Dr. Reedy seemed to be looking at HIM with suspicion! He decided not to push this, since it could possibly make things worse.

"If you think that's necessary, fine. But Miss Lane's doctor will be here shortly."

"The one that knows why there is some glowing brand on her thigh?" Dr. Reedy asked skeptically.

"It was there BEFORE this meteor shower. So that brand and what has happened, are not related. Just the bump on her head." Bruce said.

Bruce's cellphone rang again and he excused himself to walk away from the doctor and answer.

It was Oliver.

"Dinah and myself turned over some rather 'disruptive' Kryptonians that arrived fresh off a ship and landed at an amusement park. Those weapons you created kick ass."

"Thank you, but I'm sure you didn't call to congratulate me."

"We need a meeting. With everyone."

"I'm with Lois now in the ER. She was hit in the head and hasn't awakened."

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that."

"Yes well the doctor found that brand on her thigh and now wants to do a rape kit. I think he thinks I'm the 'rapist'."

"Jesus, Bruce! Listen, I don't know how to say this, but you need to be there. Arthur is calling the meeting."

Bruce rolled his eyes. Arthur was really 'Orin', King of Atlantis. He was a relatively new member of their group but was immensely helpful and useful. Unfortunately, he was also a bit opinionated.

In a nutshell, Bruce didn't especially like him.

"Lois needs me."

"I get the feeling that if you are not there, he might come to you. Like at the hospital." Oliver told him.

"Why all of this focus on me?"

"Come on, Bruce. You're practically spearheading this Kryptonian takedown. I think AC just wants to know what is expected from him, ocean wise."

Bruce said nothing to that. Oliver always referred to Arthur as 'AC' and there was something about that nickname that seemed too casual. More casual than the man himself. Once someone met King Orin, no one would think to call him 'AC'.

"Fine. I'll be there when I can." Bruce said. He looked down where Lois's room was and saw a nurse hurrying towards him.

"Miss Lane is awake but there is a problem-between her and her mother." the nurse said.

Many of the Kryptonians that arrived in ships, crash landed and were immediately snatched up and detained by the military, per President Lex Luthor's orders. Zod didn't especially care for that directive, but decided to stay calm. The president was young and malleable. He, much like Bruce Wayne, was looking for a father figure, since Lionel had badly failed in that regard. There was nothing Zod could do right now for the captured Kryptonians. What he did plan to do was correlate with Jor-El and Kal-El and get his people that had not been caught, to safe quarters.

There had been a plan if this ever happened. It was to assume that the Fortress had been compromised and to meet up at their secret underwater headquarters. He flew to the targeted body of ocean water, then flew down under the water, heading towards the deepest heart of the sea floor, where he found the Fortress Two.

It looked like a half buried submarine, one that could not be excavated, in case some nosy human managed to come down this far into the ocean. He unsealed the top of the 'sub', then floated down before pulling the top firmly shut after him. Zod then pulled a lever that caused the water to recede before opening up another door and walking into a room filled with many familiar, Kryptonian faces. Everyone was just drying off and there were many questions that Kal-El was answering.

Zod took over.

"My fellow Kryptonians, my no count son, Lor-Zod has done this. He has destroyed our planet and many of our people. And for that, he will pay dearly, do not ever doubt that. We knew that this scenario was always possible, just not likely. But now that this sad day is here, I want to inform of you about what is happening. The Earthlings manage to fashion weapons against us. They are made from pieces of our lost planet, that when they are on this planet, are radioactive and dangerous to us. They come in all forms."

Many people began murmuring and a few cried out! Zod held up a hand and continued on.

"This place is our sanctuary. For now. Kal-El, myself and other Kryptonians, plan to seize these weapons so that our eventual rule of this planet can take place. We have the advantage over these beings if they cannot fight us. And without pieces of our lost planet littering this scape, they cannot win."

Kal-El then took over.

"We have been using a 'divide and conquer' strategy with many of the humans. Some care for us greatly and have no love of their own kind. We can use that. We can use them to get the weapons out of the hands of the authorities on this planet so we can take our rightful place on the surface of this planet. Now eat, relax and rest. ThIs Fortress is vast. You are safe here." Kal-El finished before looking at his mother, who touched his arm.

"Where is your father? Why didn't he come with Zod?" Lara asked.

Zod answered that.

"Lara, Lor-Zod has become an enemy. He is dealing with him. What was the fate of my wife?"

Lara now touched Zod's arm.

"She is on Crixon. She is safe there."

Zod nodded and Kal-El excused himself from his mother to speak to Zod in another room.

"We must be careful because the others can now hear us." Zod cautioned. Kal-El nodded.

"Where is my father, really?" Kal-El asked.

"I suspect he has been captured. I did not go by Fortress One because I suspect it was compromised. I do know he was there with Lor-Zod." Zod said.

"He was. I sent word to my father that we were headed here. That crystal was a fake! Moira Sullivan needs to answer for her treachery as does Lor-Zod!" Kal-El hissed.

"I will deal with Moira and my son. I am worried that we may not be able to find every weapon against us."

"My uncle, Zor-El is aware of the situation. He is in the lab here now. He is working on something that will counteract that effects of the meteor rock on our kind. If he is successful, we can render the 'weapons' useless." Kal-El confided. Zod nodded. Good. That sounded promising.

"Do you plan to tell your mother about Ella Lane?" Zod asked in wonder.

"No. I will leave that to my father. But I need to leave and find Lois. There is unfinished business between us."

Zod raised a brow.

"In what way?"

"She is going to be my wife, Zod. And it is time to make preparations for that eventuality." Kal-El told him.
