Wow, that's for sure an interesting premise! I love stories that explore a Clark/Kal who grew up in Kryptonian society for a while. Like, nothing against Canon!Clark, he's great as he is, but it's just such a fun concept with so much possibilities to explore there. I think that's the first fic I see though where he is that young (not counting the baby obviously).
I already se some differences in his personality from canon!Clark, like the way how he's just so used to people bowing before him and just accepts it even if it annoys him, how he knows science stuff and all that and is training sports, and hiow he's just so willing to fold to everything his father tells him to do. Honestly, Jor-El come sover as a bit of an ass here, th eway how he's just like "Well, the council dismissed me, so they can all die, I'll just save my own son regardless whether he want sit or not, and he has to do nonsense lessions to not be suspicous and lie to everyone". Not abig fan of that guy. Poor Kal, especially with him having the "future leader" respnsibility probally hammered into his head his whole life and then having to let all of them alone. Wonder if he will really keep to that, maybe he shouldn't. I mean I get why they don't want a mass panic but maybe somepresure from the population would move something with the council IDK. And what makes Kal more "worthy" of survival than anyone else? It's a whole new perspective on all of that that's usually not present with BAby Kal escaping.
I wonder why Krypton has a book about English in the first place, and hten it's "ancient" English... He would have quite some difficulties if he wants to communicate with that with the modern world...
So Ka's going to Earth. I wonder how much he will be a differen tperson from the Clark we know there, we'll have a lot of nature vs. nurture exploration there I guess. And having a Superman with an actual alien upbringing who is not "one of them" definitely could throw some curveballs...
Anyway, looking forward to continue this.
PS: Is there a reason that this is also called Destined, like the two mini-tales about a kid!Clark? Because that obviously can't be part of the same universe with the background so I'm a little confused there...
