Year Five

After that, James spent hours getting used to his newly enhanced senses.

He could block everything out by simply creating a gravity shield around himself but this was important, this would be the basics of a lot of his adventures in future.

Enhanced senses were the basics of nearly every Superhuman and if he didn't have it then he wasn't worthy of being called Clark's twin.

As James continued looking at them, his sight slowly started returning to normal as the children's bones started reappearing followed by their organs, muscles and finally skin and clothes.

When James saw all this, he smiled happily after all it proved he was getting the hang of it but James didn't stop there as he tried to consciously use his new ability.

James spent several minutes just viewing in and out of the people's bodies.

"Hehe," James chuckled while thinking about the fact that he was probably the only Kryptonian who was chill about their super sense. The others all screamed in pain when it appeared but he just shook his head and handled it like a champ.

4 Years Later,

Kent Farms,

Barn.

Inside the barn, the sounds of something scraping against the ground could be heard along with the occasional grunt but nothing and no one could be found inside the barn.

Meanwhile, under the barn, James was busy as he shifted the various pillars holding the barn's floor from caving in.

James didn't know what the original idea behind having an underground space in a barn was for but at the moment, it held the space pod, he and Clark had travelled in.

The Kents may have rebuilt the barn or they already just had this unreasonable large space even before they came.

James didn't know for what reason the space was there but now it held the pod and had enough space for his various future experiments and other things.

James approached the now dust-covered space pod with a bit of caution after all who knew what other tech, Jor-El had crammed into this thing?

Seeing that it was safe to approach, James started wiping the surface of the space pod to restore it to its full glory.

James spent the next 20 or so minutes carefully cleaning the space pod and soon it was sparkly clean.

"Now to check this thing out" James thought to himself as he started searching for any form of activation method or on-button he could find but he found nothing

[$&#%¢€¥….. #$&@] A strange voice suddenly came out of the pod and immediately James backed off from the pod as it suddenly hummed to life and a part of it opened up to reveal a screen.

The space pod now looked like a giant cylindrical batcomputer which had a holographic keyboard that held strange letters, floating on its dashboard.

Seeing this set-up, James was shocked but he still smiled because while he never expected this, he had just gained a computer from a super advanced civilization like Krypton.

He wouldn't be surprised if someone told him that this computer could rival a quantum computer.

[Analysing Language and Planet's Culture] The voice continued but this time in English as the keyboard changed to hold the normal English alphabet.

[Kelex Online] the voice said as it changed to a more normal human voice though it held a feminine tone.

"Wait…. Kelex?" James asked surprised, he knew that Kelex was an aide to Jor-El and that it was a staple in most Superman comics but he had seen it get destroyed along with the planet

[Good day Rao-El, How may I help you] Kelex asked using a weird British accent 

"Ehm… Kelex please lose the accent" 

[Changing accent now] 

"No I said lose the accent completely, just talk with a neutral accent" James said since he had a feeling that any accent Kelex came up with, would feel weird

[Affirmative, Good day Rao-El, how may I help you] Kelex replied without any accents this time, which was weird but it was far much better than when it spoke with accents

"I guess, Jor-El saved a copy of you in the ship right" James asked since he knew that nobody would send their children out into space without having some sort of A.I or being to watch over them

[You are correct]

"Okay, so can you tell me how much computing power this ship has, depending on how fast it is, it will affect my plans" James said

[In human terms, the stealth pods, each possess computing power a million times faster than a billion-qubit Quantum computer as they are all equipped to act as a mini-outpost for Krypton's forces] Kelex explained as though it was nothing

"You say what?" James asked as though he didn't hear it,

This little thing though it was big when compared to a human, was nothing compared to a truck but held more computing power than anything humanity had produced.

[The Stealth pods were created as Mini-outpost for Krypton's forces as they house all a soldier needs to conquer the planet] Kelex said again but rephrasing its words as though to explain to him better

"Oh I got you the first time, so this little thing houses all someone needs to conquer a planet right" James asked with a weird smile on his face

[Negative, Master Jor-El removed most weapons to fit in the warp drive but some are still here] Kelex replied

"Ok enough of that… before you make me start having ideas. Anyway this thing holds the basic knowledge of Krypton right" James asked

[Yes sir, it holds all the knowledge and some of the equipment needed to be one of Krypton's best soldiers] 

"I don't need that, just show me everything about our biology and also while you're at it, can you scan me" James asked

Though the pod computer was unexpected, James updated his plans accordingly. Initially, he just planned to use this space as a temporary base to study everything he could about himself since it was the largest hardly visited space in the house but since Kelex was here, he might as well extend his plans to studying everything about Krypton while he was at it.
