That night, Kara, Jonathan, and Martha took Clark to see the spaceship they had both arrived in on Earth. Jonathan also handed Clark the control device that had belonged to him since he was young. Due to his young age at the time, Jonathan had kept the device for him.

This device wasn't just the "key" to the spaceship, but also an activator for an advanced AI that contained vast amounts of data. It could be compared to Iron Man's smart butler, JARVIS. With Krypton's high level of technology, almost every family of a certain status had their own smart butler.

This assistant could fulfill many roles, such as helping manage the household, providing support in combat, and even defending Krypton as an intelligent robot.

The galaxy where Krypton was located was on the other side of the Milky Way, far away from Earth. In that galaxy, Krypton wasn't the only civilization. For example, a planetary civilization called Dakosam even had a hostile relationship with Krypton.

The abilities of the inhabitants of both planets were similar, and if Dakosamians came to Earth, they would also develop superpowers similar to Kryptonians. This was the reason why the character "Mon-El" was mistaken for another Kryptonian survivor when he first arrived on Earth. The main difference between the two species was that the weakness of Kryptonians was kryptonite, while Dakosamians were vulnerable to lead.

Lead had no effect on Kryptonians, although Superman's inability to see through it emerged after the Kryptonians came to Earth and developed superpowers. However, this inability to see through lead had no other significant impact beyond that.

The control device Jonathan gave to Clark, though small, contained a vast reservoir of knowledge, secrets, and information that could help clear up Clark's questions about his origins.

Although Kara could have used Clark's control device, she never did. She only activated the spaceship's systems with her own device. Thanks to this, Kara was able to learn more about Krypton and see images of Zo-El, Alura Zor-El, and General Astra, her aunt.

Kara also discovered something alarming: General Zod and her aunt, General Astra, two powerful military rebels, had been imprisoned in the Phantom Zone at the same time. Now, Kara feared that in the future, she would face not only General Zod but also her aunt, which deeply saddened her.

Meanwhile, Clark was still in shock from the truth he had discovered. It took him days to fully process it. But Kara tried to console him, reassuring him that his life as a Kryptonian was just as real as his life on Earth. "You are a child of Krypton and a child of Earth. You are a member of the House of El and the Kent family. There's no conflict in that. Your Earth name is Clark Kent, and your Kryptonian name is Kal-El. That's all."

Kara had never felt too conflicted about it. For her, the sincerity and love of her adoptive parents were enough to integrate her fully into her life on Earth. For Kara, there was no need to complicate things with such matters.

Perhaps Kara's words helped Clark, or maybe it was his deep bond with his adoptive parents, but Clark eventually calmed down.

Kara also advised Clark not to rush off to the North Pole to find the spaceship, but to wait until he was more mature. She even suggested that in the future, when he was ready, he should travel the world like she had. That would help him gain knowledge and experience, but first, he had to finish his studies.

"I've already graduated from college. If you can't even get in, it would be too embarrassing for me! Come on, Clark," Kara urged.

Since Kara had completed her university education, Clark would also need to go through college at least once. With his superhuman abilities, his learning capacity was extraordinary, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Finally, Clark's internal conflicts were resolved, and peace returned to the family. Clark and Kara still respected their adoptive parents, as if Clark didn't yet know they weren't his biological parents. After all, while they didn't share the bond of birth, they shared the bond of love, and the years of care and dedication were just as real.

In the following days, Martha accompanied Kara to town to buy clothes. She bought two sets of pajamas and a tracksuit for morning runs. Although Kara had never gone for morning runs, she had done plenty of farm work for the family.

Kara also requested two sets of office attire, thinking about her upcoming job search in Metropolis. Additionally, she bought several casual outfits. Although fashion had changed, Kara still preferred pants over skirts. Among her new clothes were jeans and regular pants. Even her office attire consisted of pants instead of skirts.

As Kara put it, "Although men usually avoid skirts, it's perfectly fine for women to wear pants." Of course, she knew there wasn't a law forbidding men from wearing skirts, but that was a whole different conversation...

After returning, Kara didn't forget to ask about her old friends, Dani and Jennifer. They had been her best friends in school. Now that Kara had finished her self-discovery journey, she wanted to reconnect with them.

She learned that Jennifer was now a strict prosecutor in Metropolis, while Dani held an important position in a somewhat mysterious department. Of the three, Kara was the only one without a defined career.

Kara couldn't help but be surprised at how well her friends were doing. "Looks like I need to head to Metropolis and find a job as soon as possible," she thought. Although she had initially planned to stay home to reconnect with her family, she couldn't help but feel the pressure of catching up with her friends. It wasn't that she wanted to compare herself, but she also couldn't afford to stay idle.

So, after a few days, Kara said her goodbyes once again, boarded the train to Metropolis, and set out to face the big city once more.
