Chapter 6: Jor-El meets Maggie Beckett
The wormhole opened in Smallville, Kansas. 4 individuals fell through. The year was 1977. They glanced around the town.
"Where are we?" Wade Wells, a 25 year-old woman asked one of the other three. Captain Maggie Beckett smiled as she surveyed the world.
"Looks like home but it isn't," Quinn Mallory said as he glanced at the timer. He then saw a young man walk up to him.
"Who are you?" The man asked. Maggie stared at him.
"Maggie Beckett, Wade Wells, Quinn Mallory, Rembrandt Brown. We're from a parallel dimension. What year is it?" Maggie asked.
"I was told it is the year 1977. I am a traveler here too just as you are. You can call me Joe," Jor-El said nodding to each individual.
"Nice to meet you Joe," Quinn said shaking the Kryptonian's hand.
"Nice to meet you as well. Nice world you have here," Jor-El said as they were on the outskirts of town.
"Thank you, I think. Where are you from?" Wade asked.
"I am from a galaxy beyond your own. I come from a planet called Krypton. My true name would sound peculiar to you, so I adopted a very simple earth name. I came to repay a debt to a family in this town," Jor-El said.
"Have you been here before? This town I mean," Rembrandt asked.
"Yes, in the Earth year 1961. My people have been here before. A family helped me when I ran into some trouble here in Smallville, Kansas. I came to thank them and to warn them about a coming Meteor shower that will hit this town in the future. It will cause problems, but a blessing will come out of it," Jor-El said as they found themselves near Smallville High School.
"I remember reading about a murder in a small town in rural Kansas back in the 60's. It was bizarre. The newspaper said that the local police couldn't find the man who allegedly killed a woman." Quinn said. Jor-El stared at the timer.
"Can I see that please? Let's get indoors. Looks like it's going to rain," Jor-El said seeing the darkening skies. Quinn handed over the timer device, which enabled his team to travel between parallel dimensions. They quickly entered the closed school and found themselves in a science classroom.
"Your that drifter I read about," Quinn said after a minute. Jor-El simply smiled as he used a power that he had never used, a power to disassemble the device to look at its inner workings.
"I was sent here as a test and a punishment some years ago. I fell in love with a woman and she was shot and killed by another man who intended to kill me. The woman's husband is in jail from what I can gleam from recent events. I came to set things right," Jor-El said. Quinn and Maggie stepped forward.
"What are you doing?" Quinn asked. Jor-El removed the new "Journal" from around his neck and held it over the timer device.
"Your device was corrupted by your own doing. I am trying to rectify that. You see I sensed your wormhole thanks to my 'Journal' device I wear around my neck. They run on nearly the same frequency. My 'Journal' is what drew you here to Smallville." Jor-El said.
"Can You fix it?" Maggie asked. He stared at her body, then her face. He realized she spent years in the military to hone her body to near physical perfection. He remembered the last woman he was with who was a perfect specimen who took sexual advantage of him three days ago.
"Yes, Quinn I can. And I am. But first I need help. I need a man named Gabriel Sullivan who works for a company called LuthorCorp to help me. The company is located in Metropolis, which is about three hours away. I came across a security card which should let you into LuthorCorp to talk to the man. The Man you are seeking will be on the third floor. The man who owns this company is named Lachlan Luthor," Jor-El said.
"We know that name. In a parallel world we left there was a man named Lachlan Luthor who was homeless but was a brilliant scientist. He kept rambling on about a meteor shower to hit the California basin." Maggie said. Rembrandt nodded.
"He was crazy. How do you figure that he knew that? A meteor shower that will hit Earth is just plain crazy," Rembrandt said.
"Mr. Brown it was said that a Meteor Shower hit Earth some years after Earth was born that wiped out the dinosaur population," Jor-El said as he began to overlap some wires. He then heard a voice he never thought he would hear.
"Never thought I would see you here," said the voice of Hyram Kent. Jor-El turned around, his back to the timer.
"The Circle is now complete," Jor-El said with a look of satisfaction on his face.
