Chapter VII: Revenge of Jor-El
Clark saw Jonathan Kent come into the room where he and Garth Knight were talking. He then saw the look of terror on the boy who would become his father's face.
"That was Chelsea Worthington. She called from Lionel Luthor's office. It appears some strangers have arrived in Metropolis. Some weird ones. All dressed in black. She heard one of them mention the name 'Jor-El of Krypton.' Does that mean anything to any of you?" he said. Jor-El and Clark stared at each other and then at Jonathan.
"Chelsea Worthington. Where I come from, she works as the secretary at Smallville High School. Trinity spoke highly of her. If that's who I think it is, we're in trouble." Clark said. Jor-El smiled.
"Who is this Chelsea Worthington?" He asked Clark. Clark responded, "A Christian who at this point in time according to…my adopted father, worked for Lionel Luthor." Clark said, hiding the fact that Jonathan was his adopted father. Garth spoke up.
"I know Lionel Luthor. My father has had many dealings with him in the past. As a matter of fact, he helped my father conceptualize the Knight Automated Roving Robot and is helping my father with its successor, the Knight Industries Two Thousand." Garth said.
"I don't trust Lionel. What are we going to do?" Hyrum said. Jor-El smiled.
"I have never met Lionel Luthor, but I am well aware of his son, Alexander. Let's just say, I had a run-in with his grandfather Lachlan." Jor-El said. Clark stared at his biological father and then he remembered the journal he had left in the cave in 1961 that Clark found in 2003. Clark had absorbed the memories of his father and remembered every detail.
"How do I get to Metropolis? Using my super speed would draw attention to myself here. And would certainly alert Zod." Clark said.
"It's time you learned about one of your other gifts, Kal-El. Have you ever willed yourself to fly?" Jor-El asked. Clark nodded. He remembered. It was the Tornado his freshman year. Lana's truck had been caught up in the whirlwind. The ship that had brought him to Earth too had been caught up in the Tornado as well. He remembered willing himself to the truck that Lana had driven, shortly after the girl had taken her deceased boyfriend Whitney home.
"I will teach you to use that gift but you must open yourself to it. Here in this town there is nothing that can stop you. You have no weaknesses. Zod does. His greed and lust for power." Jor-El said.
"I will have a weakness in another few years." Clark said. Jor-El looked at him with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Krypton will die. You will prepare a ship that will send me here. Along with that ship will come fragments of the Planet Krypton. Those fragments will become deadly to any native of Krypton. Teach me Father everything you know about your gifts." Clark said.
"My Son, Your gifts are similar to my own but your abilities you will learn about them all in time. If you cannot use all of them in the future, you will retain your memories of them when you return. You must stop Zod. If you do not, Earth will suffer the same fate as Krypton and untold other worlds that Zod has destroyed." Jor-El said.
