Beginning





Jor, eyes cast down, worried how she’d take his answer, β€œI... smelled you.”

β€œWhat?” asked the indignant Lara, whose stern expression poorly hid a grin.

β€œYou asked for the first moment I knew, that was it. Honors Chemistry, first year. I’d made some vile concoction that choked me. I spluttered away from my table and only caught my balance crashing into you.”

β€œI remember. You smelled my hair.”

β€œNo, It wasn’t shampoo, my nose landed on your shoulder... I smelled only you,” his voice softening.

β€œI never wear cologne.”

β€œI know.”

The minister interrupted, β€œI need to hear, β€˜I do.’”

β€œHow many more titles do you need?” She looked at him sullenly – everything he did served everyone but himself, and her.

Jor tried to explain, β€œThey need someone who will judge rationally. It’s an honor to be thought worthy.”

β€œHe’s so small.” Jor, wiping tears away, watched the baby fall asleep in the cryogenic capsule.

β€œHe’ll be impervious to anything in his new home. They’ll never be able to hurt him.”

β€œNo,” agreed Jor-El pressing buttons that loaded the capsule and launched his son earthward, β€œNever more than I have.”

β€œYou’ve given him a chance... and given them a hero.”
