It took a few seconds for Superman to plummet back inside the chamber, through the hole that allowed Alpha God's light to take S-Woman. Superman fell, helpless to save the mother of his children. Now her legacy was her triplets.

A question rose in his mind: how,
would he tell his beloved wife all about this? “Will she understand that I was innocent because of being hypnotized?” Worse, the Alpha Lord gave him full responsibility for the triplets.

The day he heard about the planet from the Alpha Princess made him so eager to search for the world, which was unique for him. He wondered if the vast knowledge inside the Watchtower and all the tools and technology available to the superheroes could help him search around the universe for the unknown planet. He contacted the Martian Manhunter, who had not heard of the planet, and neither had the whole of the Justice League. Superman said he would research the planet when he returned to the Watchtower.

Superman looked at his son "G,” who was shrieking aloud for his mother from inside his mother's seashell, which awakened the two daughters inside their seashells. They started screaming aloud. He somehow knew the newborn triplets had a sense that their mother didn't exist anymore, which added to another block of guilt he carried. He walked over and took them out one by one with the greatest care. He lifted and carried them out of the chamber.

"Oh no... How will I explain this to Lois?" he said to himself

When this thought entered his mind, another thought followed. The best solution was to take them to an orphanage. He tried his best to ignore it, and then he accepted that they rather live with their father and stepmother. However, he believed in his mind that Lois would not accept them. He shook off all his thoughts of taking the children home. He peered at his sleeping infants, feeling guilty for making this decision, but it would be better for them and for his beloved wife.

He wished that Lois had given birth to them instead of the princess. It would be so great to have the adorable triplets to live with them. He still couldn’t believe that he had a female fan, who had travelled from the galaxy through the ocean of stars to come here only to make love with him, and he shook his head.

Another surprise: his newborn triplets looked more Indian like their mother, except for their blue eyes. Superman turned around to face the interior of S-Woman’s chamber, then leaned his head down further toward his babies and whispered, "Always remember your mother. She always loves you, my children."

Superman left the spacecraft and headed to the shelter. Com followed behind, hovering above the floor, keeping up with the Man of Steel and watching over the newborn triplets in Superman’s arms. Com assured Superman that he would be here at the pod. With his mistress gone, he awaited the Alpha Planet recalling him.

A few meters away from the spacecraft, Superman turned to face Com and slightly nodded his head before he launched into the sky in an eruption of sound and dust. Superman made a considerable impact by sonic-booming across the sky.

A priest in his early thirties sat behind a light balsam wood medium-sized rectangular shaped desk in his office in the orphanage in India. He wore a white robe with gold decoration and a crucifix around his neck, with black leather shoes peeking out from under his robe.

The room was covered in laminated light wood floors and walls, except for a thick Persian rug spread over the laminated floor under the desk and table.

The British priest had his eyes glued to his paper in concentration as he wrote a few words of his sermon. He rested his bum on the chair cushion. The chair and desk were classics from the late 1970s. He wrote using a black ink pen. He had gone to his desk ever since he arrived from the boys’ dormitory where he’d been grabbing a little sleep near the children in his care. He’d been awakened by a huge light shining from the beach, which disturbed his closed eyes.
