This is a Superman Fan fiction only.

As they were discussing things I rather not listen to, such as their favorite type of romantic story or their choice in clothing, I looked out the window and saw someone as tall as I am, but the symbol on his clothes was that of the House of El.

I decided to try and get the attention of Louis and Faora, but they simply were too engrossed in their discussion on food preparation, well I can't blame Louis, many don't know this but Faora is actually an excellent expert when it comes to nutrition.

I decided to point up and the man outside began to nod telling me he understood. As I walked out of the room, up the stairs I couldn't help but feel that my godson found us a lot faster than I had expected.

As I got to the roof he was still flying up and I just about had it with the distance between us. "Honestly Kal-El you don't need to worry about me, come down so we can at least introduce each other face to face, these what do you call them humans don't seem to react that well to people flying, odd our ship sensors have registered quite a few people with nth metal in their blood."

He flew down and began to look at me, "Before you say anything else why did you want to find me? I want the honest reason and not what you told Louis Lane." I couldn't help but to actually feel a little hurt by his comment. I guess it made sense he would not trust me, I mean the last time I saw him he was still in diapers.

"I am Dur of House Zod, a good friend to Jor of House El, I didn't lie to that human, everything I said was one hundred percent true, you father was my best friend on all of Krypton, in fact we were so close we felt like we were brothers in everything except blood. Honestly, Kal, who do you think helped name you?"

He began to look at me and looked at my face for a few seconds, "With the help of the League we have found and claimed a new home world, a new Krypton, but like I told Louis, the Terraformer needs the data in the Archives that I placed in your ship to actually finish building our kind our new home planet."

"These humans would probably try and kill us to gain that level of scientific knowledge. You have to admit that this planet is rather primitive compared to our culture, as to why you should trust me, I am hurt that you think I would harm you, I am your godfather, I was present at your birth."

He came towards me and since he didn't move I decided to give him a big hug, "You know the last time I held you in my arms, you were just born, look at you, you certainly have grown big since the last time I saw you. Wait till your godmother sees you, she will be so surprised."

"Do you plan to harm or conquer this world?" Still, he didn't trust me? I told him what some of my intentions were I guess he will not trust me completely till I finish telling him the rest.

As the hug ended I looked at him and couldn't help but to shake my head at him, "I have fought against dozens of criminal and down right evil groups of aliens since the destruction of Krypton, do you honestly think I would do something that I fought to stop others from doing on other worlds?"

"I honestly have no other interest in this world than to find you, I would ask you to come with us, to live among those of our kind, there is no reason why you should remain in a world that doesn't appreciate your efforts or even trusts you. If you had a valid reason, however, I would ask you for a copy of the Archives."

He looked at me and began to shake his head, "You have no idea how long I dreamed of something like this happening, no idea how I yearned to meet another person from my birth planet, but I must be careful."

I looked at him, "You don't need to be careful with me godson, I would never harm you. You want to see that I am telling you the truth then come with me, your godmother would like to see you, she was the one that was most time with your mother during her pregnancy. Once you see I am being honest we can do something about that armor you are wearing."

He looked at it and as we walked in the building he asked me what was wrong with it, I told him that we have not spent time sitting around doing anything, we have made quite a few advances and the armor we now wear is a lot better at protecting us than the relic he was currently wearing.

They both were talking about the difference between flowers between what used to grow in Krypton, our new world and Earth, at least that what they call this planet. "Well excuse me ladies but Faora why don't you say hello to your godson, and let me tell you he has grown quite a bit since last time you saw him."

As Kal-El came into view Faora gave him a big hug, which in turn made Louis glare at her. "Don't tell me your godmother never gave you a hug? That is what Faora is to Kal-El, she was also his babysitter. You need to relax Louis we mean you no harm, even though I don't think the people around hearing us have the same intentions."

Louis looked at me and looked confused, "You see Louis, our ship alone is decades ahead of anything this planet has ever developed, our armor renders all your weapons useless, so you see from a technological stand point if they killed us, they could steal all this technology and advance."

Louis looked at how happy was Faora to see that the man she knew as Superman was alive and well. "Doesn't that mean that our weapons would have no effect on you, and it wouldn't be that hard for you two to conquer this world?"

I couldn't help laughing as she said that, I thought I met paranoid people before but this is beyond my anything I ever met, "Indeed, we could conquer this world rather easily, but that was never our intention, to begin with. We have ended the occupation of a world, fought to free them, to save the people of quite a few world, it would be hypocritical for us to even think of doing something so wrong."

I looked at the way the people around the room were looking at us, granted they didn't think I could see them since they were outside the room, but looking through the walls of this place was not that difficult for us.

"I, however, would like to hear what has happened to you Kal-El since you were discovered here. I would like that to be in a shall we say more secure location, from the way the people outside this room are looking at us, I gather we have overstayed our welcome."

He began to nod his head and Kal-El came between me and Faora, "I know a perfect place, you see I work in something similar to you Godfather, you invited me to meet the people in the League that you are part off, how about I introduce you to the League I am a member of first."

"If it gives us the chance to have a little more privacy I don't see why not, I just need to collect our ship. Wouldn't want these humans to injure themselves touching something they don't know they should not touch."

As we walked outside Faora pushed a button on the ship and it began to shrink until it was no bigger than a pin. She took the ship and placed it in her belt. "Like I said Kal, our technology was great, but the members of the League believe in the free sharing of knowledge. The only restriction is that the culture learning must be culturally mature to handle it."

As we took off and Kal-El told us to follow him, we began to look at what looked to be a primitive form of a space station, if other people I knew saw this thing, they would call it the toy made by children. I kid you not, this thing looked like something some of their kids would make for recreation.

"Superman, who are these two that you have brought into the watchtower?" I somehow don't like the tone in this caped man's voice. I should really convince Kal-El to abandon this world and come to live in our new home world.

"Batman, this is Dur-Zod, and Faora-Ul, they are my godmother and godfather. They both requested that we be able to talk in a shall we say more secure location, since I didn't want a misunderstanding to cause an incident I figured the best place for us to talk in would be the Justice League's Watchtower."

We followed him to what looked to be a big conference room. "This is the place we made to keep our world safe, we are the ones that defend this world against invaders, and this is the place where the heroes of our world gather to fight and defend the innocent."

The man that I only came to know was called Batman sure loved the sound of his voice, "All good, but like I told my godson, I am actually no threat to this world, I only came to find him and I did. Now I just need to know what will be his choice, come with us and live among others of our kind, or give me a copy of the Archives I placed in his ship to finish rebuilding our new home world."

Kal-El pulled a chair and looked at me as I sat down, the one we now called Batman did the same for Faora and she sat down in a chair next to the one I was sitting. "Does it have to be that way Godfather? I either come with you or you rebuild our home world without me? Isn't there another choice? I don't want to abandon this world, but I sure don't want to lose the only two relatives I just found out I have."

I understand what he is saying and I can sympathize with my godson's situation, but I have lived through so many things that innocence has been washed away from my eyes, you don't become a General and get the luxury of still being Naive.

"Kal-El the people of this world may find you useful, some might even be actually grateful for the things you do for them, but somehow I get the feeling that by large the people of this world do not trust you, do not want to trust you, and would even kill you if they knew how. I understand what you are saying, trust me, as a General I face a lot of tough decisions."

I looked at Faora who was smiling, "I know that it is hard for you to understand what Dur is trying to tell you Kal-El, but if anyone wants to see you survive and live a happy life it is my husband, I understand that from what Louis told me she loves you, but it would be impossible for her to have a child with you."

"I know that if I still could have children, we would have some already, and thus we would never want to have you suffer the things we have, I suspect the reason why my husband went to save all those worlds, to make lasting friendly relationships, to try and rebuild Krypton in large was you Kal-El."

I wish I could deny what Faora said, but deep down I knew it was true. "He is your godfather, but he was there to help your mother when you were born, he did everything he could to save you and for you to have the knowledge of our world, he understands that you might think of this world as your home, and thus he gave you the option of giving us a copy of the Archives."

Kal-El pulled a chair and sat across from where I was and looked at me, "Why not remain in this world Godfather? In this place, we have a few people who are like you, not born from this world, yet they remained to defend it, why don't you remain and give me a hand to keep the people of this planet safe?"

If it was just me and Faora I would agree to that in a second, but it's not just me and Faora, we also have to think of the soldiers who have been loyal to me all this time, I could not abandon them, I was the one in charge of them, as a General I could not be selfish and abandon them to their own.

"Kal-El I will tell you if it was just me and Faora I would gladly accept, but I can't. The last remaining men and women of Krypton also depend on me, by the way, you are talking I gather you do not wish to come back to our new home world, and that saddens me. I will ask you again, please give me a copy of the Archives so that our people can finish rebuilding our home world."

I looked at some of the people around and they began to walk towards me and Faora, "We had thought that you had come to conquer or destroy this world, but our friend J'on has been actually reading your mind all this time, and he just told us that you were being so honest it is uncommon if not rare."

I looked at the man and from the way he was dressed, I knew what that symbol on his chest means. "You should know better than to think we would come to conquer or destroy worlds Green Lantern, it is not the first time I met someone from your Corp, a Lantern by the name of Kilowag I think his name was worked with us to free some captives from a fleet of slavers."

"Your Green Lantern Corp knows of the Alliance and the League that was made to defend our allies. We are not conquerors or destroyers of worlds, we are liberators. We are the sword of the weak, the shield of the meek, no innocent shall suffer at the hands of the wicked in our presence."

The man looked at me and began to nod his head, "I know of your work from my old friend, you told me your name, might as well as introduce myself, you may call me Hal, Hal Jordan is my name, and you know who I work with."

I looked at the one called Batman and I couldn't help but think he was actually doubting me. "Don't feel bad, he doesn't trust anyone and yes I been reading your mind. I know what it's like to lose your home world, I lost mine when all life was destroyed by an alien parasite."

I could not help but to look at him and nod my head, "The only parasite I wish was never created in my word was a freaky computer Artificial Intelligence by name of Brainiac. Jor would never listen to me, I lost count how many times I told him to hit the delete button or put is a self-termination code in that thing."

That is when a green man came into the room and he didn't look too happy after hearing what I said, I had no clue who the hell he was until I looked at his face. The lines and circles in that pattern could only remind me of that very same program, damn it, the thing had a shell to inhabit, this was not good.

I jumped up from my seat and without a moment to waste I grabbed that thing and was ready to drag him to the space station reactor. "It's nice to see you remember me General Zod, but I assure you my violent tendencies have long been resolved, in truth I was bringing you a copy of the Archives I manage. I mean you no harm."

I looked at this thing and could only glare at it, "And who was it that informed the Council of our plans to put the Archives and my godson on an escape craft? Thanks to you I had to kill at least a dozen of the men in our military to get those Archives! I and my most loyal soldiers ended up frozen for gods know how long thanks to you! I could have tried to save Kal-El's parents! MY FRIENDS! YOU HONESTLY THINK I BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY!"

For a minute this thing actually looked sad, "I am sorry, but I was asked about that information by a number of the members of the Council, I could not refuse to answer or provide them with that information. I am also sad that my creator and his wife met such a tragic end. I have done my best to educate their son as my way to apologize for what I will regret as long as I exist."

He looked at my godson as I let go of him, why did I suddenly start calling him instead of it, cause I could tell his regret was genuine. "Looking after Kal-El made me realize the value of life, and made me reevaluate many of my program protocols."

I looked at him and I accepted the compact data cube that held the copy of the Archives, "Godfather are you sure you wouldn't want to remain here? This planet is not such a bad place to live you know. You and the other Kryptonians could even join the Justice League. We might be able to find a way to give everyone that survived a chance at a happier and more peaceful life."

I was not as naive as my godson, I could think of several ways such a choice could bring nothing short of ruin. "Do you honestly think this world would welcome us? You are alone and you are not trusted by these planet's natives. I honestly think they will believe us to be an invasion and use it as an excuse to try and justify killing us and you."

I looked at Faora and she got up from her seat and walked towards me. "Very well Kal-El I will talk this with the others, I will give them the option, if the majority of them wish to come to this planet, I shall come as well."
