Ben 10/Superman: OG Series

Prologue

As the planet Krypton was on the brink of destruction, Jor-El and his wife Lara Lor Van set up a ship for their newborn baby boy, Kal-El.

Lara: Why Earth, Jor-El? They're primitives thousands of years behind us.

Jor-El: He will need that advantage to survive. A young star... his cells will drink its radiation. It's a seemingly intelligent population.

Lara: He'll be an outcast, a freak... they'll kill him.

Jor-El: No, he'll be a symbol to them. He will look like one of them.

He hears his wife sigh in sadness and sees a tear fall down her face.

Jor-El: Lara, I could send you with him. There's a risk, but if I have time to recalibrate the course-

He stops as Lara walks up to him and puts a hand on his face.

Lara: No, my love; I'm staying with you. But, what if the ship doesn't make it? He'll die out there... alone. I can't do it. I thought I could but...

Jor El: Lara, Krypton is doomed; it's his only chance now, it's our people's only hope.

Jor El hears a beeping.

Jor El: What is it, Kelex?

Kelex: There are 5 attack ships converging from the east. Citadel's defense ships are being scanned and evaluated.

Jor-El: (He looks at Lara) We need to send him, now.

Lara: No, wait.

Jor-El: Lara...

Lara: Just... let me look at him. We'll never get to see him walk... never hear him say our names.

Jor-El: Out there, amongst the stars, he will live.

Lara kisses Kal on his head and gives him to Jor-El, who also kisses him on his head. They wrap their son in a red blanket with the symbol of the House of El and put him in the ship as he sleeps.

Jor-El: You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But we will never leave you... even in the face of our deaths. The richness of our lives, it will be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel... all this and more... I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, see my life through your eyes... as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father the son.

Jor-El grabs a special crystal, that would help Kal-El learn about his family's legacy and their home planet along with transforming into a fortress containing Kryptonian technology. When Kal-El is ready, he would search for it and it would give him everything he needs to know.

Jor-El: It's time, Kelex.

Kelex: It's been an honor, sir.

Jor-El removes Kelex's memory core and inserts it along with the crystal into a capsule in the ship that would seal it away. He then puts the command key into the ship to close the ship and the ship starts to leave Krypton and make its way to Earth.

Lara: (Crying) Goodbye, my sweet Kal-El.

As the planet explodes around them, Jor-El holds Lara close to him as tightly as he could before looking down at her reassuring and smiles.

Jor-El: I love you Lara, always and forever.

Lara: I love you too Jor-El, always and forever.

As the 2 sense their deaths, they kiss one last time just as they and their home are engulfed in lava and flames as the planet Krypton explodes.

Earth:

As the ship reached Earth, it landed in the farm area of Bellwood. It lands near a truck that had a couple by the names of Jonathan and Martha Kent.

Jonathan: What was that? (Gets out of the car and takes out a flashlight)

Martha gets out of the truck and walks with Jonathan to where the ship landed. She then walks around looking for the ship and sees it in the lake. As she walks toward it, it opens and reveals a sleeping baby boy wrapped in a red blanket.

Jonathan: Martha?

Martha: (Walks toward Jonathan) Sh! You'll wake him.

Jonathan spots her with a baby wrapped in a red blanket as she walks past him going to the truck.

Jonathan: Woah, Martha. (Stops Martha) What're you doing? Put that thing back. We don't know where it came from.

Martha: He's not a thing, Jonathan. He's a baby, a little baby. Who would put a baby in a spaceship?

Jonathan: Maybe he's Russian; a Sputnik baby.

Martha: (Narrows her eyes at Jonathan) Oh, really.

Jonathan: Could be one of ours; you think NASA is missing a kid?

Martha: I don't care where he came from. All I know is he needs us Jonathan. Just look at him.

Jonathan: (Smiles at the baby) Cute little fella.

Martha: (Walks back to the truck) What do you think of the name Christopher?

Jonathan: Now Martha, lets discuss this.

Martha: Or Kevin?

Jonathan: Martha.

Martha: I know, we could name him Ryan. Ryan Kent.

8 years later:

Ryan is in class and as the teacher was talking, he began hearing many things from far range. As she came up to him, he started to freak out as he saw her skeleton.

Teacher: Are you alright, Ryan?

He looks around and sees a student's skeleton and hears other things from outside. He started breathing rapidly and when he looked back at the teacher and saw her heart. He then looks around as he hears multiple sounds and covers his ears trying to stop the noise, but that didn't help much. He runs out of the classroom as the teacher calls for him. As he was running in the hallway, he hears bells and looks through the walls. He runs into a janitors closet and closes the door.

Teacher: (Knocks on the door) Ryan.

Ryan: Leave me alone.

Teacher: (Knocks again) Ryan, I have called your mother. (Grabs the doorknob)

Ryan lifts his head and his eyes start to glow red as he looks at the door knob. The teacher moves back after the doorknob burns her hand a little.

Martha: I'm here! Ryan, honey, it's mom. (Walks to the door)  Can you open the door?

Children: What's wrong with him anyway? He's such a freak. Crybaby. His parents won't even let him play with other kids. What a weirdo.

Martha: Sweetie. (Kneels down) How can I help you if you won't let me in?

Ryan: (Tears up) The worlds too big mom.

Martha: Then make it small. Just, uh, focus on my voice. (Ryan closes his eyes and concentrates) Pretend it's an island, out in the ocean. Can you see it?

Ryan: (Opens his eyes) I see it.

Martha: Then swim towards it, honey.

Ryan gets up and opens the door. He sees his mom and hugs her.

Ryan: What's wrong with me, mom?

Martha: Ryan, (puts a hand on his cheek) there is nothing wrong with you. You're special; you're me and your father's special boy.
