Chapter 13: Jor-El confronts his brother
"Krypton Tide", a place similar to Smallville's Talon was where Jor-El waited for his brother Zor-El. He was enjoying an Earth beverage called Tea when his brother came into the place.
"What was so urgent that you had to take me out of the local council meeting?" Zor-El said, embracing his brother.
"Zod has done something to the planetary Computer Brainiac-1. Didn't you feel the planetary vibrations? They are a result of Krypton being shifted out of it's orbit and being brought closer to the sun. What can we do?" Jor-El said.
"My brother this is madness! Brainiac has assured us that nothing is out of the ordinary," Zor-El said. Jor-El just stared at his brother with a look of disbelief.
"And you believed him? Zod and that computer will be the end of life as we know it. We must do something or else our children will die with us," Jor-El said as the two brothers walked out of the place and proceeded to walk to Jor-El's lab.
"How do you know of Kara? I didn't want anyone knowing yet?" Zor-El said.
"Your wife left a holographic message telling me that she had given birth of a baby girl and she wanted my blessing. Look, I know relations between us have not been well but Lorina only wants what's best for both you & I." Jor-El said as Jor-El placed his hand on the plate reader for his lab. The scanner scanned his hand and flashed green. The door opened and the two men went inside. Jor-El activated his holographic projector and the computer revealed his findings. Zor-El just stared in silence as Jor-El's findings were hauntingly accurate and similar to his own.
"We must do something or else all is lost," Zor-El said finally. Jor-El then said using a voice command, "Computer run program ship-1"
The Holographic image switched to blueprints for a ship designed for a baby. Zor-El walked around the small holographic image.
"What is this? He asked. Jor-El just stared at his brother.
"The council disagreed with me and forbade me to leave Krypton, so I agreed that I would not share my findings with anyone other than my wife or my family. Father refused to hear me so Lara is helping me to build the ship. It will be ready for flight in another 90 days. I have decided to send Kal-El to Earth. It will be the best planet for him to live and survive on. You must send Kara someplace or else she will end up like all of us." Jor-El urged. Zor-El nodded finally. He knew what must be done...
