That was certainly not who I was suspecting it to be! Well done.

Jor-El is so inscrutable in the messages we see in “The Foundling” that it’s hard to tell what kind of person he is, other than his determination to save Kal-El. I wish we’d learned more about him in the series. Your story is an interesting take.

I love the bit about Krypton not exploding for another ten years.

Jor-El: Lara, at least we’re together, at the end.
Krypton: LOL JK
Lara: Well, that was awkward.
