"What? Why would Jor-El.. why would he.." He looked concerned then. "That must be why Lex seems different now. I heard he was building weapons against our kind. But he also said lex tried to use an orb to control or kill me, but.. I came here before that point in time, so I don't remember it."
He shook his head. "I wouldn't have attacked him, though. I would have found out what it was really for, the weapons.. or at least stayed as far away from them as possible. I mean, he could just meant to use it against Zod. Ohh.. umm... this probably doesn't make any sense, so.."
He spoke quickly, but hopefully enough for her to understand. And besides, he'd already told her most of it, so he might as well share the rest. "I'm from another planet called Krypton, came in the first meteor shower, I'm one of the good ones, I put the stones together to make an ice palace with all the knowledge of the universe. And those times I was mean and wore leather, I was on red rocks. They make me bad. Green kills."
