Chapter XIII: Revelations
Trinity stared at the clothes of Laura Lang that she was borrowing from the girl. The jeans and blue T-shirt were a welcome change from the blouse and 60's skirt that she had borrowed from Louise McCollum, Lana Lang's great grandmother.
Clark stared at her right arm as he saw sparks from that arm. He pointed to it.
"Trinity what's wrong with your arm?" He asked as Garth Knight was calling Lionel Luthor to arrange a meeting.
"My real arm was surgically removed from me at a young age. 10 I guess. I had been living here in Smallville when I had an exposure to a rare mineral, which was later found to be Kryptonite. The Kryptonite acted as a virus to me. It made my arm go dead. Knight Enterprises which was a Houston based company owned by my Uncle William helped me design a cybernetic arm based on Kryptonian and Knight Enterprises technology." Trinity said as she took a pair of scissors and cut the dermoplast skin and unattached the cybernetic arm.
"How could Kryptonite have come to Earth yet when I had not sent Kal-El to Earth until the Earth Year 1989? That's another 6 years away from now," Jor-El, said curious.
"The caves. The writings said that other Kryptonians had been to Earth. Maybe one of them brought a sample to earth. Who knows? All I know is Dr. Albert identified the fragment, which had been in my arm as Kryptonite. Together he and I built an arm that was based on technology from Krypton and from my uncle's company."
"Dr. Herb Albert? He's the scientist who helped my ex-husband design the Knight Automated Roving Robot and is helping him with The Knight Industries Two Thousand," Elizabeth said.
"How could you know about KARR or KITT? Your not on the Foundation board," Clark said.
"I am on the Foundation board. How could you know of the Foundation for Law And Government?" Elizabeth asked Clark. He nodded toward Trinity.
"In 2002 Lionel Luthor designed an exact duplicate of KITT in hopes of putting an end to the Foundation's investigation of LuthorCorp's ties to Black Sun, a criminal organization. Trinity had been hired by the Foundation and she hired me to consult and help her build an exact duplicate of the Knight Automated Roving Robot. Didn't Bruce Wayne also act as contributor to KARR?" Clark asked his sister, as she was busy resetting her cybernetic arm.
"Yes Clark. I met Bruce in 2001 while I was at Metropolis University. I had been studying there to get my teaching degree and a minor in cybernetics. The minor in cybernetics was to help me build the arm before you. Lex Luthor formally introduced Bruce to me in 2004 when I began work on KARR. He had some guys go raid the Knight Museum of Technology and there they found the parts for the original KARR in pieces after KARR had tried to destroy Michael & KITT. I took those pieces and rebuilt KARR using the frame of a 2005 Pontiac Fire Hawk, which is a redesign of the Pontiac Firebird. Bruce called in the original team that built KARR in 1981 except for the technician who misprogrammed KARR in the first place. Apparently she went to work for Lionel. Can you help me reattach my arm?" Trinity said as she was finally done with the repair work.
"What are you going to do since your stuck here with us?" Clark asked. Trinity smiled.
"Do what I was doing before I met you, Clark. I will teach at Smallville High School. Say, doesn't the school get a new addition sometime this year?" Trinity said remembering the special Education wing that was begun in 1983 and finished in 2001.
"Yeah, but who's the donor of the money?" Clark asked. Trinity then pointed to her mother. Jor-El then saw a man walking toward the house.
"We have a visitor. I've met his descendant before. Alex Sullivan had a son didn't he?" Jor-El asked Hiram. Hiram nodded.
"Scott Sullivan also had a son named Gabriel. Why?" Hiram asked. Jor-El pointed to the door.
"Gabriel Sullivan his here." Jor-El said. Trinity, only half dressed, ran into a nearby bathroom that was partially done.
"Gabriel! What brings you here, son? Shouldn't you be home?" Hiram asked the boy.
"General Zod wants all of the townspeople to meet in Market Square. He's got the military holding the high school hostage." Gabriel said.
"I'll Go!" Trinity said as she came out of the bathroom fully dressed. Jor-El shook his head.
"I'll Go!" Clark said. Both Jor-El and Hiram looked at Clark.
"Over my dead body, son. I don't want you going after that madman alone. Do you understand me?" Hiram said.
"I have to," Clark said. Hiram shook his head.
"I don't understand. Why?" He said. Clark then held up the journal of Jor-El. This time instead of the sign of infinity it bore the symbol of a stylized S within a octagonal symbol.
"I've scanned the journal left behind by my father. It says that the reason why I'm here, is because it is my destiny to stop Zod once and for all," Clark said. He then walked outside, and squatted and then jumped into the air and he was gone. Kal-El of Krypton was off to face his destiny.
