Kal-El couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

He could barely fathom the truth of the matter, even though it was right in front of him. It’d been a year since the death of Lois and his unborn son, and only now were he and the others discovering the multiverse.

All due to you, that is.

His apparent child from another universe.

With the help of Diana and Green Lantern, Kal-El had subdued and captured you, trapping you in a place that Batman had previously built to house him. They’d tested you for hours, and only now was he getting the results of those tests back. You were a Kryptonian like him, and your DNA was— safe to say —comprised of his.

His and Lois’.

Kal-El had made everyone clear out of the cell, deciding that he wanted to speak to you alone, since he couldn’t fathom the thought. You were the child he never had in his universe— a child that had survived and thrived in another universe —and here you were.

For whatever reason.

“Tell me about your Earth.” His voice is curt and strict, his eyes narrowed as he looks at you. The Red Sun beams dimmed your powers, revealing that you were a Kryptonian like him, and not some sort of joke. “About your Superman and… Lois.”

The name is bitter on his tongue, a reminder of what he lost, though he pushes the thoughts to the back of his mind as he looks at you. He wanted to know everything about you, though he’d start ‘small’ for now.
