Good mor
ning, Lois, are you okay?
Just give me one minute.
I just need, um
I need shoes.
Uh-huh.
Shh!
Clark, if she wakes up, it's gonna be all,
"Lois Lane, which of these men have caught
the most impressive
earth fish?"
"Lois Lane, what does it mean,
'Gemini do not interact?'"
"Lois Lane, assist me in choosing
from my five billion suitors,"
and we'll never get out of here.
Hey, uh, you okay?
Yeah.
I'm just nervous, I guess.
Nothing to be nervous about.
We'll have brunch
at your favorite restaurant
Pound Cake Palace.
And we'll talk about the future.
And it'll be fine because
we have each other and
- Pound cake.
- Well, I was gonna say, uh,
no Super Business, but yeah, that too.
Aw, I'll always have my Superman.
Aw, I wanna pet the dog.
- But no

Huh.
Hi, Jimmy.
Seriously?
Clark! Great.
Okay, so I'm on a date with
another W.O.R.M.S. scientist.

I got turned into a wolf-man once.
Why must we generalize?
Then why are you calling?
Well, my date seems great.
Really accomplished
from Coast City,
has two sisters
but she also brought
a bunch of suspicious vials.
So I was wondering
Ahhh!
Your quarter-pound cakes.
You know, dodging Kara and Jimmy
and making it to a real actual date.
We're a pretty good team, Smallville.
We are.
You and me, we can handle
anything the future throws at us.
Mmm.
Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.
Have we ordered yet?
Uh
Wow, have you guys read this thing?
How do you even decide?
What do you guys usually get?
You're right, we should just
get one of everything.
Clark, what do we do?
Say something.
Um, hi.
So
- When you said, "Mom"
- "And Dad"
what did you mean by that?
Yeah, wha what
did you mean by that?
Oh, yeah. Sorry. No, no,
it's me, your son, Jon.
From the future.
Future?

If you Then how

the morning I've had.
- Hey, Uncle Jimmy.
- Hi. How you doing?
So, as you can see,
my date did end up having some quirks.
So now you're gonna have
to take me to S.T.A.R. Labs.
Jimmy, it's not the the best time.
Oh, okay. I'll just walk around
like a porcupine man forever.
- Ow. Jimmy.
- Sorry.
You know, this never would have happened
if you hadn't hung up on me.
Lois Lane.
I appear to have received so many messages
from potential suitors that
the app no longer functions.
How does one
Wow.
This culture, it is so rich.
Who are you?
Yeah. Wait.
What did you call me?
I'm Jon Kent.
I'm their son.
- What?
- Okay, but
- Is this true?
- how?
I'm from the future.
You're my Uncle Jimmy.
And you're my Aunt Kara.
- You are Kryptonian?
- I'm an uncle?
- You're from the future?
- Yes!
- Kal-El, be proud
- Do you know what this means?
- our bloodline
- Four best friends for life!
has prospered!
What's the future like?
Jon-El, I will teach you
many things about this Earth
Wait, did you say
you broke the dating app?
- Ow! That's it!
- Ah!
Sorry?
Can we please get that to go?
Ow, ow, ow.
Hey, what's this?
Ooh, that's an
invisibility vest. Ow.
Ahh. What about this?
- That can Ow!
- What are you guys doing?
Ooh, Can I touch this?
I'm touching it.
Maybe we should get him outside.
I love outside.
- Ow, ow, ow, ow.
- Unexplained geological
tremors have been reported
around the city.
More on this story as it develops.
Unexplained.
I've been saying for years it's
Ow!
I'm sorry if I came on too strong.
I'm just so excited to be here.
It's all right kiddo.
Kiddo?
You're just gonna take his word for it?
Lois, he's a flying pickpocket.
But time travel, Clark?
Don't you need more evidence?
- Not really?
- No.
I'm a mom?
Oh, this can't be happening.
I can't be someone's mom.
Do I look like someone's mom?
- Well
- Don't answer that.
This is fine. I just I need to,
uh, I have to, uh
work! I have to work.
Questions need answering.
Can I go to work with you?
Can I? Can I?
Can I? Please.
Why are you here, Jon?
Jon-El, your mother must work.
But you and I can spend
traditional family time together.
Would you like to train, Grapple or spar?
Um
Or maybe Jon just wants to
do, you know, normal stuff?
Ah, yes. I know what is normal.
This again.
Hank Henshaw, once decorated,
adulation, lionized.
What has become of that American hero
Hank Henshaw mission
was once to lead humanity
to a brighter tomorrow.
They're scared of you, Hank.
But now, in a super-powered cyborg body,
should he be pitied or feared?
That man is gone.
Hank is not our hero.
I'm not sure there's any coming back,
but Hank is not our hero,
not our hero, not our hero.
I don't know if it says,
"Jon Kent"
But it does say, "Superboy!"
You're right.
They have shoes with wheels?
Superboy, Superboy ♪
Superboy, Superboy ♪
Superboy, Superboy ♪
Superboy, Superboy ♪
Uncle Jimmy's got it.
Does he?
Another tremor?
Look out!
Just like Clark.
But why are you here?
Whoa. Easy there, Fido.
Henshaw, we agreed you'd keep
to your quarters until further notice.
That's exactly why I'm here.
I wanted to apologize.
I see.
Go on.
What occurred yesterday
was totally unacceptable.
A good commanding officer knows how
to get his people back in line.
And you did exactly that.
You were right
to remind me who's in charge.
Me.
Yes.
Yes, you.
Uh, I owe you my life.
And I will never forget it.
- Again.
- Hmm?
You'll never forget it
again.
Affirmative.
All right, Henshaw.
Glad to see you've come to your senses.
Told you he'd come around.
They always do.
You can't be serious.
You actually bought that act?
It's not an act.
A firm hand never fails with these types.
I am that type.
He tried to kill me yesterday.
Look, that was a blip.
A blip?
Yes, Slade.
Time to move on.
Great. So what's next?
Carousel? Food court
Pet store?
What now?
Oh, no.
Perry's calling.
- Lane? Lane!
- Yes, boss. Uh-huh.
Right away. Yeah.
Sorry, sorry. Gotta work.
But you guys can, you know
You've got to show me the Daily Planet.
Please.
Uh, you wrote, "Who."
- It's, "Whom."
- I need some air.
Look at us.
Five best friends.
Jimmy Flamebird,
take a photograph of me
in front of this globe
for my dating profile.
I'll take it for you, Kara.
But Jimmy Flamebird always
takes the best pictures of me.
And the dating
was his idea. So
Okay. Okay.
What about one
where you're holding the globe
- in your hand like
- Like this?
Oh, No, no, no, no.
Not-Not what I meant.
Not what I meant.
You, uh, ordered the spicy too, huh?
Must get it from you.
Mom.
Mom!
Oh, Jon, you're great.
You're super.
It's just
it's not every day your kid
from the future
stops by to say hi.
Oh, I get it.
This is probably not how you
thought your day was gonna go.
Oh, it's not that.
It's
The future is just coming,
and I can't stop it.
Like, no matter what choices
I make, I'm already locked
into something I can't control.
I don't believe in fate.
What's coming is ours to shape.
Plus, you have to listen to me.
I'm from the future.
What happens in your future, Jon?
Why are you here?
Hey, Aunt Kara.
Can I take this one?
You know, just me and Dad.
Uh, yes.
Yes.
Thanks.
We're locked on the roof.
Hey, Birdwatchers, drop your
lock picking tips below.
Oh. That's what was
causing those tremors.
I-I thought the past was just wobbly.
- Um, Dad.
- Sorry, yeah.
Just, uh,
what else does Jimmy write about?
What you don't know
about the Subterranosauri?
- You do?
- Uh, yeah, of course.
They're super cool.
They're very, very reasonable guys.
I'll have this wrapped up
in, like, five minutes.
- Yeah, I-I don't think, uh
- I got this. Trust me.
Krull!
Hey, guys.
Uh, I'm Superboy.
- That's Superman.
- Hi.
Uh, what seems to be the problem here?
Krull!
- Huh.
- Jon, um
Don't worry.
Hang on, our friend here
just doesn't speak English very well.
-Now,
-Jon
My Subterranosauri
is a little rusty,
but I can take a swing
Krull!
Not now, Hank. I'm busy.
Make time.
I'm sorry.
Didn't we just have a chat
about who's in charge here?
We sure did.
But, uh,
I remembered something you forgot.
This little thing called a food chain.
And where you fall in it.
That's two strikes, Hank.
Don't let there be a third.
Oh, there won't be.
Slade? Slade!
Just a blip, right, Lex?
We're gonna do this now?
I'm not doing anything.
Hank, Hank, we can work this out.
You want more autonomy?
You can get it.
I want my life back.
You made me this
- this monster. This freak.
- Hank.
You want to talk about
who did this to you?
Who took everything away?
It's
the aliens.
I saved you.
I gave you a life.
You don't want to punish me.
You want to punish Superman.
He's the one who did this.
I won't try to stop you.
In fact, I'll help you.
Going forward.
- We
- There is no we.
Remember the food chain.
Jon, are you all right?
That was wild.
Yeah, the dinosaur people.
No, no. I mean,
they're supposed to be humanity's allies.
Why are they being so mean?
You get everyone to safety.
I'll handle the dinosaurs.
Back up. Back up, I said.
- I said, "Stay back!"
- Jon, be gentle.
You can't help them
if they don't feel safe.
Hi there. I'm Jon.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
Scared of heights?
No problem.
Krull!
Huh?
Krull!
Dad.
- That was so
- Slammin'!
Cower before me, flying surface dweller.
You speak English?
Silence.
For it is I, Tyrannko,
Prince of the Subterranosauri.
My people have suffered at
the hands of the surface world.
Humanity has dug too far
and drilled too deep.
That ends today.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Your Eminence.
I beg your forgiveness.
I have traveled here from the future
where man and Subterranosauri
live in harmony.
Side by side, hand in claw.
Please believe me when I say
that together we can make
prejudice extinct.
So this, uh, "hand-in-claw"
future, was that all true?
Yeah. We've been friends
and allies for, like, 20 years or so
Wait. What if Oh, wow.
I'm the guy who made peace
with the Subterranosauri!
Oh, slammin'!
Time travel rocks.
What?
This is what Superman fights for.
A better tomorrow.
I think that's enough
Super Business for one day.
I know just where we can
get you all patched up.
I cannot believe I missed out
on the dino men.
Real dino men.
Okay, We'll tell you
all about it over dinner.
Urth Ketch! Yes, Jonathan Kent.
I will teach you how to Urth Ketch.
That's okay, you guys can play.
I'm gonna help Mom out with her story.
What did you say the name
of the leader was again?
"Tyrinkis?"
Uh, "Tyrannko."
Right. And how's that spelled?
Thanks. So, uh,
what do you think?
- It's slammin'.
- Really?
Yeah. Well, I'm not
surprised, though.
You're really just
how I always imagined you.
You imagined me?
Yeah, I, uh,
you know
Looking for this?
I'm a pretty good pickpocket myself.
Nice.
Yeah, I know it's weird to find out
that you're a mom
all of a sudden, but, um
thanks for today.
I really needed it.
Yeah.
I think I did, too.
If he's our future,
then it's better than I ever
could have imagined.
Yeah, maybe it won't be so bad.
Kal-El, come! Now!
Superman.
See how they run from me?
They used to love me.
They used to cheer my name.
Now they shriek it.
You want to be this city's hero?
Come and fight for it.
I thought I'd have more time.
More time for what?
Jon,
why are you here?
Where I come from
Dad is dead.
You both are.
I was sent back in time to save you.
Save everyone.
Save us from what?
From him.
