KRYPTON, FIVE MONTHS BEFORE THE DEATH OF THE PLANET:

Zor-El was currently inside of is workshop, finishing up the shuttlecraft that's supposed to carry his daughter off to the planet Earth. It wasn't the greatest idea, he'll admit, but it was for the last resort if they can't save their world, then his daughter will be the last thing to survive of their world.

As he finished working on the ship, he didn't know if it would actually work. And that's something he wants to prove will work before he sends his daughter off in it.

"Seems the ship's ready." Jor-El, Zor's brother takes notice of as he walked into the labs and noticed the ship.

"I don't truly know." Zor confessed. "I don't know unless we test it."

"How do you propose we do that?" Jor asks him.

"We need to test it out on something." Zor tells his brother, and they don't know who they should test it on. "Someone needs to be sent to Earth, ahead of Kara."

"Who?" Jor-El asks, knowing nobody would give up their life for an experiment.

"There has to be someone." Zor said as he thinks and suddenly gets a good idea.

A while later, they have the pod ready to make it to Earth and have the family dog inside of it.

The dog was a white haired Labrador Retriever who had a golden collar around his neck and had the House of El symbol attached to it. He was sitting in the pod and was not entirely sure what was happening.

Once the pod was shot off, Krypto started to whimper as it was sent on its way towards the planet Earth...

PRESENT DAY:

Mary was at a restaurant with May as Richard was working late and Ben was on a volunteering night patrol.

"So, what is Richard working on per say?" May asked as she took a bite of her Thai.

"Our boss has him working on some sort of genetic mutation in DNA." Mary tells May as she was scarfing the food.

"Slow it down, you look like you're pregnant again." May tells her jokingly when she saw Mary's face. "No!"

"Yeah...we are." Mary confessed with a shy smile.

"What?! When?!" May asked in surprise.

"It just sorta happened." Mary confessed. "We're telling the kids this weekend when Kara gets off of school. After Richard gets off of work."

"Gotta tell you, I'm not a fan of that Lex Luthor." May confessed to Mary about her boss. "Something about that man just rubs me the wrong way. I don't know, maybe it's the bald head. Or that smug smile of his."

"You know it's only for a small time." Mary reminded her, as she and Richard change jobs almost constantly.

If only she knew the truth.

Back with Carol and Kori, Carol was doing her best to get her settled into her home, questioning how on earth her life came to this moment.

"You know, I had a normal life just last week. How did it come to this?" Carol asked herself as she sets the bed up for Kori.

"Well, you discovered me in the alleyway where we talked, and I had to kiss your friend so you could understand me." Kori told Carol, causing her to look confused before taking a guess she hasn't learned to understand sarcasm or rhetorical statements, she did only copy their language after all.
