Darcy, you've done it again! This is great!
If I'm reading the timeline correctly, this contact with Lara occurs just before the New Kryptonians try to induce Clark (Lord Kal-El) to leave with them. If so, Lara's contact would throw that whole arc into the food processor and churn it into a huge mess. She'd have some influence (legal or otherwise) in deciding what her son does, and wouldn't she have some kind of royal office, too? Plus, if Jor-El was there with her, he (being the father of the prince) would really have some leverage to use.
All of these teasers are outstanding, but this one may be the best of the bunch (at least, so far). Keep your mind working and your muse churning, because this is an excellent series!
