x. O Mother, Where Art Thou?

Tiana stared at Cameron and Morgan, who both rose up into the air and she stared over at Clark. "Superman?" She asked and quietly now, he was shaking his head.

"Brother?" Clark was in disbelief and frankly, Tiana couldn't blame him as she was still stunned into silence, by the fact that Cameron could fly.

"I know how unlikely it may seem, but the two of us and my son, we share the same Kryptonian blood." Morgan Edge stated and Clark shook his head.

"You are not my brother. And that, that man is not my nephew." Cameron landed on the ground with a thud and he stood up properly, staring at Tiana.

"I am, Kal-El." The villain noted. "Whether you want to believe it or not." He spoke up with conviction in a language, that Tiana did not recognize from any history books or anything. Which she guessed, meant that it was Kryptonian. "My real name is Tal-Rho. I am the son of Zheta-Rho and Lara Lor-Van."

"That's not possible. My mother--"

"Married Jor-El, your father. Yes, I know. But that was years after she had been matched to my father, years after I was born. It was back then, when she first warned that Krypton was dying. The very reason, that my father sent me here. I was the first son of Krypton to leave... And I came here with one purpose: to further our Kryptonian heritage." Morgan... No, Tal-Rho explained and Tiana stared at him.

"Well, it would seem like your job is complete." Tiana gestured to Cameron, who had been silent this whole time. "You have a son of your own, you have furthered your Kryptonian heritage already!" She snapped coldly and he scoffed.

"Kam-Rho, deal with... this, this nuisance from Central City." Tal-Rho said coldly and dismissively, while quietly, Cameron was slowly turning his head around to look at her. "Kill her." Tal-Rho ordered and Tiana's eyes flashed with lightning.

"You told me when we met, that you were different from your father!" Tiana shouted at him and Cameron's eyes glowed with the familiar power of heat vision and then, he was staring at her. "My brother told me that too, or do your words mean nothing?!" She shouted at him as Cameron fired his energy beams at her now, before she was flashing around and she lunged forward at him.

Cameron was throwing her into a nearby natural structure, landing so hard that her back broke on impact and she screamed at the top of her lungs, in pain.

Cameron landed in front of her and she stared defiantly up at him now, with blood leaking out of her mouth and then quickly now, she winced.

"How... How could you do this?" She gasped and already now, she could feel her back, as it tried to heal. "How could you betray your morals like this?" Tiana whispered and then he was kneeling down in front of her carefully, before he was looking down at the extra watch around her neck.

Cameron ripped the watch off of her neck and Tiana gasped in pain, just before he was crushing it in his hand and then, she was quickly spitting blood into the dirt.

"Clark." She whispered quietly after Cameron was long gone, before Clark was racing over and picking her up. "My back. I can't... I can't move." She whispered and he nodded, before he was carefully picking her up and then, she was screaming in pain and he did.
