Hello fello Superman lovers! This is my first Superman fanfic so please go easy on me. Anyways, this story takes place in the Man of Steel movie because it's the best Superman movie of all time (in my opinion)! Haters of Man of Steel beware and don't read if you didn't like the movie. This story is basically what the movie would be like with my OC character Rachel.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with the movie Man of Steel only this story and my OC characters.

A tall man stood in front of a group of council members discussing heatedly about what decision would they make to ensure the future of their dying planet, Krypton. This man is called Jor-El, one of the leading scientists of Krypton. He is the tallest one in the room who has dark black hair with streaks of gray peppered through it, dark blue eyes and he's wearing a long gray-black tunic, red cape, gray armor and an S-like symbol on the chest plate of his armor. Another man stood beside him and his name is Nor-An; he wears a dark forest green tunic with silver armor, he had mysterious pale eyes and dark brown hair with a blue streak in between the gray streaks in his hair, and a large slanted silver L on his chest.

"There's nothing we can do, Krypton's core is very unstable," Jor-El argued with the Council of Elders.

"We cannot send the cordiac and a single child out into the middle of space," one elderly council woman stated disagreeably.

"Yes, we can it's the only option left to ensure that the blood of Krypton lives on even if it isn't on our own planet," Nor-An defended with a serious expression. "Also, Jor-El's son will not be alone." Nor-An added gravely and the elders looked at him confusedly.

"What is the meaning of this, Nor-An?" the woman demanded and Nor-An sighed heavily.

"My wife and I recently had a daughter through a natural deliver," Nor-An explained hesitantly.

"What wife?" they all demanded in shock, even Jor-El was surprised at this.

"My secret wife, Zaran from the House of An," Nor-An explained and they all gasped.

"It is against the law to be secretly married to a woman!" bellowed a council man in outrage.

"Enough!" everyone turned around to face General Zod, the commander of the Kryptonian army. "You are all under arrest for idly standing by as Krypton quickly dies!" Zod shouted and some of the guards behind them murmured sounds of agreement.

"General Zod, what is the meaning of this?" Nor-An asked incredulously.

"Nor-An, you as well as Jor-El and I both know how the Council accomplishes nothing as our world crumbles around us. Therefore, have decided to take matters into my own hands," General Zod declared.

"That is not your call to make, General Zod," another council woman retorted boldly and one of the gunmen shot a blue laser at her knocking her to the floor in agony.

"Join us Jor-El and Nor-An. We can rebuild Krypton on another planet better suited for our kind," Zod invited them, but they both shared a look that stated otherwise.

"No, General Zod, we will not. Who shall lead this new Krypton? You? You're not the one who chooses which ones live and die. We won't help you, Zod," Jor-El answered firmly and Nor-An nodded in agreement with him. They were, in fact, close colleagues. General Zod frowned deeply.

"Guards kill them," General Zod stated furiously and they allowed themselves to be escorted out of the room by the heavily armed guards. Key word being allowed. As soon as they left the room and walked down the metal twisting hallways of the Council Meeting Room, then they quickly disarmed and fought the guards knocking each and everyone of them unconscious.

"Is everything alright, sir?" a giant metal floating mirror-like mechanism asked Jor-El worriedly and Jor-El only nodded in response. "Nor-An, your wife and daughter are safe with Lara and Jor-El's son."

"Thank goodness," Nor-An sighed in relief. They raced off towards the platform in order to leave the building where the Council members meet.

"So, when were you planning on telling me about you and Zaran being secretly married not to mention the fact that she was pregnant?" Jor-El asked jokingly and Nor-An chuckled sheepishly.

"Today, actually," Nor-An answered honestly and suddenly the rouge Kryptonians shot them from the sky with large beastly flying war machines. Both men jumped off the balcony free falling towards the ground only to land on a giant pale winged-lizard.

"Quickly, Car-Vex, we must get to the Launch Pad to send the children off into space," Jor-El told the ghastly beast. The beast roared panting heavily after being shot by a blast from one of Zod's weapons, but nevertheless the beast continued on until it landed heavily on the floor. Jor-El said a few words to the beast telling it to take it easy.

Immediately, both men ran into the tower towards the Launch Pad where both of their wives were waiting with their newborn children. Jor-El and Laura had a baby boy wrapped in a black cloth while Nor-An and his wife Zaran had a baby girl wrapped in a silver cloth.

"Are the coordinates already put in?" Nor-An asked both women and they nodded their heads solemnly.

"It's time to put them in," Jor-El stated urgently.

"But, we'll never get to see them grow or walk or speak. We can't do this," Laura said in anguish and both men stared sadly down at their children.

"What if they don't accept them? What if they cast our children out? They'll be cast off by the humans," Zaran said solemnly with tears sliding down her tanned cheeks.

"They will not. They'll be gods among the humans. They shall look to them to strive towards," Jor-El said firmly and with much conviction. Both men took their children and placed them in the same pod carefully as the cordiac's energy seeped inside both children's body into each and every cell. "His name shall be Kal-El, a symbol of hope," Jor-El said with a small smile and Laura smiled as well.

"Our daughter shall be Zaria-An, a symbol of loyalty," Zaran and Nor-An said in unison as they stared at their daughter lovingly.

"Jor-El, Nor-An hand over the cordiac or suffer the consequences," Zod demanded calmly, but neither men would give in so they got into defensive positions around their wives and children.

"Never. You aren't the one who should decide which generation lives on," Nor-An retorted icily and Zod glared at him furiously.

"Then you both shall die with Krypton!" Zod declared and he lunged towards Jor-El in hand to hand combat. Nor-An sprang into battle with Jor-El against Zod while the women stayed at the controls trying to finish the launching sequence quickly. Suddenly, Zod stabbed Jor-El with a hidden dagger through the chest and he slumped to the floor eyes dulled, lifeless.

"No, Jor-El!" Laura screamed and Nor-An continued to battle Zod more forcefully to try and avenge his fallen comrade, but Zod quickly got the upper hand and slit his throat with the same dagger cutting off his air supply.

"Nor-An!" Zaran screamed in horror and rage as she sent a ray of dark blue cosmic energy at Zod knocking him across the room. "Launch the children while he's down!" Zaran commanded Laura who numbly punched in the last button sending the children off into the air.

Line Break

"I will find your son and your daughter! Do you hear me?! I will find them and kill them!" Zod shouted enraged at the two grieving mothers, but they didn't even so much as cringe at his words. The Council Members solidified them with a black freezing liquid and sent Zod and his followers into the Phantoms where they were to remain banished forever. After that, both women walked away towards the balcony watching as their planet fell apart around them until finally they died with Krypton.
