The Year 2042, The era of peace.

A world where crime and corruption has been almost completely wiped out.

A world that the various new heroes of The Justice League watch over and protect with their lives.

Clark, Diana, and Bruce couldn't ask for a better world. And they couldn't help but smile knowing that the what the world knew as their greatest heroes, were their children...

Part 1: The Second Son of Krypton

40 years earlier...

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. The world knows him as Superman. But on this night he is Clark Kent, husband to Lois Lane. And tonight, super-hearing trumps them all as a certain sound awoke Clark from his bed, a sound that he couldn't be happier to hear, the sound of two heartbeats coming from one person.

"Clark?" Lois awoke as her husband got out of bed beginning to pace the floor. "What is it?" He continued to pace "Smallville?"

"We need to get everything checked thoroughly."

"Huh?"

"I'll contact Star Labs. There are people there I trust to be discreet."

"Clark"

"There shouldn't be any danger, but I'm not leaving it to chance."

"Clark!"

"And we'll need a bigger place..."
Tonk! A book struck Clark in the back of the head, this didn't hurt him of course, but it certainly grabbed his attention.

"Did you just throw a book at me?"

"You're invulnerable Clark. I should be able to throw something satisfyingly hard at you sometimes."

She walked over and wrapped her arms around Clark.

"Slow down that Super brain of yours Clark."

"We need to make sure everythings fine-" Lois placed her finger over Clarks mouth.

"Shhhh, slow down, let's just enjoy this moment." She moved in closer. "After all, this is our future we're talking about." Clark then lowered his head and the two embraced each other with a warm, passionate kiss.

"Our child..." Lois whispered.

Author Note: Short chapter, I know, but this is only the prologue after all. This is the first installment of a long running series I'm planning, if you're enjoying it so far, stay tuned for more.
