When Clark finally awoke he found he was in the middle of a cell surrounded by kryptonite. As long as he didn't go to near the walls he was fine if a little weak. Lying on the ground was Lar. Clark helped him up as he started to wake. "Where are we?" asked Lar
"I don't know but we are surrounded by kryptonite so it doesn't look like we are going anywhere for the time being." Clark said as he sat next to Lar.
"Ah, I see you are awake Kal-El." Said Dr. Swan as he approached the bars holding the two teens. "And who is your friend? I was under the impression you were the last Kryptonian."
"His name is Mon-El. He is my cousin." Said Clark ignoring the look Lar gave him.
"Welcome both of you, I am sure Jor-El will be most pleased to know there is another to fulfill his plans." Dr. Swan said as he turned to leave.
Once he had gone Lar turn to Clark "Mon-El?" He said
"Well we met on Monday, and El is the only Kryptonian last name I know, hence the Mon-El." Said Clark as Lar put his hand over his face and groaned "Fast thinking there super-boy. You ready to get out of here yet?"
"How we are surrounded by kryptonite?" asked Clark
"Hello, I'm from Daxam, not krypton. Kryptonite doesn't bother me." Said Lar as he got up and stood over the kryptonite to prove his point "See.."
"Than what happened to you back at school? I saw you fall, or was that sympathy pains?" Clark asked getting confused.
Lar walked back over to Clark and whispered so that even at two feet away Clark needed his super hearing to catch it. "I'm vulnerable to lead. He had the kryptonite in a lead box. But he doesn't know that and I for one have no intention of telling."
As Clark ponders these words Lar gathered all the kryptonite and placed it neatly in one corner away from the door. "After you…" he said extending his hand toward the door.
As Clark ripped the door off its hinges Lar looked at him and smiled "I guess it's time we took care of Jor-El. Huh?"
Clark could only nod as they set off at super speed toward the caves.
