Hi Vicki!
“Earth,” he said, by way of a reply. “Earth,” Zara repeated
AKA the sweaty armpit of the galaxy.
Ching forced himself to say, swallowing back his own regret at finding this accursed hunk of space rock.
He could have had Mercury blown up and told Zara that the third planet’s an inhabitable wasteland.
At least then Zara might find some small measure of happiness in her arranged marriage.
Unless he hides a psychotic streak or violent temper tantrums and jealous rage underneath his peasant (sic) countenance.
Better to get this over with as quickly as possible, for his own heart’s sake.

A humble one, he thought with disgust.
It’s the word they use for the position after they have merged Chief of the Elder and First Lord of Earth.
He cleared his throat and gestured to the others floating around them on the bridge. “The same powers we have gained since entering this solar system.”
One, they really should think about their radiation shielding. Otherwise this could be the last generation. And two, I suddenly have the image of a wildly bobbing about bridge crew, like a bunch of half -filled helium balloons floating in the airconditioned breeze.
Better him than Nor, he reminded himself. Anyone would be better than Nor.
Hey, maybe it’s Season One and Lex is still available. He would surely be amiable to marry/control a Kryptonian princess.
Remote probes scanned the planet’s surface, giving them glimpses of blue skies, green trees, clear streams, and strange wildlife.
Maybe they should simply move in?
These Earthlings are killing their planet, he mused disdainfully. Do they not realize it?
DS9 has something to say here:
Smokingand
PoisoningHis arms were bound behind his back and he was breathing hard, clearly winded.
Gah, when is that?
Before she could finish her thought, the microphone on the probe picked up the sound of a whoosh! and a woman in a skintight jumpsuit with a cape appeared in the frame from seemingly nowhere. Kal-El’s face lit up.
Maybe Zara should not tell the superpowered brown-belt that she has designs on her boyfriend.
They watched as the woman became agitated and smashed a work bench. A piece of metal – a bolt, Ching thought – flew into the air and struck Kal-El, making him bleed.
Is that from the show? Will Lois now break up with him for his own good?
We know there are places where it is possible to slip into a parallel plane of existence.
Through a mirror, darkly.
“That’s true enough. It might explain why we’ve never succeeded in finding Kal-El’s cousin, Kara, either, despite knowing her parents’ intentions to send her to safety as well.”
They never bothered to check the Phantom Zone?
Try them,” Trey commanded. “We must find the right Kal-El before Nor can claim Lady Zara’s hand.
Will they find Alt-Clark?
. He would let the look-alike Earthling have his happiness with UltraWoman, even if he, Ching, would never share that fate.
Couldn’t Ching dress up as Superman and claim the Lady Zara?
That was a cute untwist. And they were off by just a few months, too. I guess the only worse time would be if they had arrived when Clark was stuck in the time bubble and Alt-Clark not yet here
