5/11/11 - 8:40AM - The Watchtower - Metropolis, KS
It was quiet in the Watchtower as Jon appeared before his father who was still lying unconscious on the examination table where earlier they had performed a link up between him and Cyborg. Now he was going to perform something he knew was going to be as difficult as before. But if Cyborg was ever going to be stopped then he needed his father there, not just the man he was. But the man he was going to become. But two days was not even close.
He could feel through his mind how much his father was at peace as he then touched his suit own pocket where a tiny little package had grown into a life sized version of how it was before. It was this item that his sister entrusted him to give to their father as a late birthday present. He knew what it was before he could open it. He knew their father was going to love it, open it in front of their mother and they'd be proud. But right now his father needed it more than ever. He opens the package and places it on his father's chest so that when he awoke he would be ready to use it.
He was about to place his hands on his father's head but then relented. How am I going to protect him from Cyborg? How can a child protect their own father? No sooner did Jon think about the last word did he realize he knew exactly what or in this case who to go to. He then removed the bracelet from his coat as he concentrated hard as he felt for the presence of Jor-El as if he was present in the Fortress as he spoke.
"Jor-El of Krypton. I am your descendant. Jor-El son of Kal-El. I need your help against a threat from the future."
Jor-El's voice had reverberated inside his mind as he felt his presence. "Jor-El of Kal-El. I know you speak the truth. The bracelet belonged to your ancestor Nam-An of Krypton which he passed on towards his beloved. I also see your mind and realize you know that. Only your father could have passed this information via the years of Kryptonian knowledge my son has yet to recover. Though my mind is one of decision making, it is truly an honor to be able to speak with you."
"Thank you Jor-El."
"You are troubled?"
"Yes I am. Your son has a doppelganger out there, wanting to kill him and prevent his destiny from being achieved. He can fight him but because of the way time travelling works he can link with your son's mind and be able to counter everything he can throw at him. There will be no surprise and he will defeat him no matter how powerful he is."
Time seemed to go by before Jor-El could respond. "I've seen your mind as well as the future you are fighting to defend. Yes, you have the power to save your father but something or should I say someone can help you."
No sooner did Jor-El finish a bright shining light appear before Jon as he saw a bright golden ring with the symbol of the Legion of Superheroes appear before him right next to it was the bracelet that had hovered out of his hand. He was right. He knew he could convince Jor-El to grant him access to the Legion Ring.
"These will be more than enough. I can tell you truly from a previous experience that your father will be more than aware of its power and protection. Before I show you how to protect him. Let us speak to him."
The room around Jon became bright as they left Watchtower Jor-El's will had taken both him and his father away.
