Okay, so this was an experiment of incorporating another story into this one. It was the story of how Zared got to Earth.
Arrggghhh.... I see you all missed the
secret that Clark had been thinking about and wanting to share with his family. The one he shared with Lois after several years and that she got upset about it. It's here in the last line:
The two young men spoke in Kryptonian. "Beloved Father, Lord Kal-El, how be you this lovely evening?"
I changed the interaction between Clark and Zara just a little so I could do this line and hopefully it would be a WOW!, but I see it didn't work. I'll definitely have to work on this part. I wondered if I was jumping around too much. The twins are not Zared's half brothers. They are his whole brothers and half brothers to the rest of the Kent brood.
Okay, Poussin, this can't happen:
I like when you go, but why do I have the feeling that, if all that happened, it's because the twins sons of Zara and the twin daughters of Clark are meant for each other?
It is a lovely, lovely thought, though.
Yes, Trey impregnated Zara with Clark's sperm - without either of their permission. Since he wanted to be *sure* he implanted two embryos (I left that part mysterious.) one of which split into identical twins. The twins and Zared were triplets! If there had only been one, then there wouldn't have been the peace that I spoke of. Zared is not the 'heir'.
Zared only made it known to Zara that he was to be with his father. To assure that she understood this, he simply ceased to be seen by anyone else but Trey and Zara. Mike, the angel, helped with that.

So Jon brings Zared to the Earth and leaves him with Lois and Clark in the past, so that he can grow up. Then Jon returns to the present, where he is greeted by his brother, who is once again his older brother... who is about to get married, by the way!
No, Jon and Zared went back in the past to Metropolis. Jon waited on the roof to receive his baby brother to take him to the townhouse. Jon never went to New Krypton. After he received the baby Zared and put him in the townhouse, he went back to the present and arrived at the same time as the two young men and Zared.
The Clark that existed when Zared was about two went to New Krypton to get Zared. When he gave Zared to Jon, he went back to his own time.
When Zared disappeared from the roof, he as thrown back into the present and was in the present when he went to New Krypton. He went to New Krypton to bring his brothers to visit Earth.

Though I don't see why it would have endangered Zared's existence on the Earth if he, or the rest of the Kent children, had been allowed to meet their mother again, when she visited Clark to hand over the T5 device
Okay, I never said this. I said that if Jon told Zared about this too soon it could endanger his existence. Remember that T-5 that Clark still has?
Yes, I'm done with the New Krypton thing for the most part, but I'm at least going to have to change this part around to make it more clear. I'll work on that and let you know when I've fixed it.

Here's the conversation between Zara and Clark as it originally existed: (Maybe it will help, but it needs some work, too.)
At that moment, Zara walked back in. She smiled and pushed what could only be described as a pram over to Kal-El. <Kal-El, may I present yours sons. This is K'al-El and he is the heir. He is named after his father. This is his twin, isLo-El. His name means 'presented gift', but I've also honored Lois with his name. And this..> She picked up Zar-El. <...is Zar-El. He belongs with you.> She put the child in Clark's arms.
Clark was nearly speechless. Zar-El looked up at him, smiled, and thought, <Father. You have come for me.>
Clark looked at the baby then back at Zara and Trey. <How can a baby do that?>
<We don't know. Usually with babies, we can just feel what they feel. Zar-El has actually said little, but it has always had to do with you. Would you like to hold the twins also?>
Clark was in awe. <He and Zara were the parents of three sons.> He held them and spoke to them. Both of the twins were very attentive to their father. Clark finally looked at Zara with tears. <Zara, how can I... not... be with them.>
<The angel told me your place and Zar-El's place is on Earth. Yes, I know it's difficult.> Her breath caught and tears streamed down her face. <You taught me this, Kal-El... these tears. Remember that I will also not be there for Zar-El.> She wiped her tears. <And I'm also relatively sure that you and Lois will not be able to have children.>
<But..> The T-5 'spoke' to him telling him not to mention his and Lois' child together or her pregnancy. Clark understood that in the time he was now this had not yet happened. <...ummm... Ching.>
Zara nodded in understanding. <Ching loves these children as his own. I believe his discomfort about Zar-El was a way to prepare me that Zar-El wasn't to stay here.>
Clark nodded as he hugged Zar-El to him. The last he saw Zar-El, he was a rowdy toddler. Now he was again... um, well, not really.... He was a baby now. Clark looked up at Zara. <And this angel of yours. Does he have a name?>
"Mike." She smiled. Clark's T-5 replicated itself and he and Zar-El disappeared.

Sorry, it was all so confusing. How about if I date the sections with years. Would that help?
