After this, many other questions appeared on the screen. Some were hard whilst some were just too simple for him
[Excellent, Your results will be out soon, please wait patiently] The screen read
It was after this that James remembered that he was already dead, and he was probably in a place that judged the souls of man
"Shit!, I should have chosen heaven," James thought to himself.
Some hours or minutes later, the screen re-appeared and on it were the words
[Congratulations, you are now one of the very few that have been chosen to reincarnate. Please let it be noted that your wish had being modified as the original was too vague.] Seeing this, James couldn't believe his eyes after reading the screen.
"Yes!!" He screamed in joy and the next moment, he lost consciousness
Waking up, he found himself inside some sort of container made of metal but since he could feel and see the surrounding sheets, he immediately guessed that he was on a bed.
The strange thing he didn't understand was the size of the metal container
"Am I a dwarf?" James thought at first, but everything changed when he started hearing voices
Amongst everything that was said, there were only a few words that stood out to him and they were "Brainiac", "Jor-El", "Alura" and finally "the council".
Hearing these words or names in the conversation of the people talking, he instantly guessed where he was
"Shit! I'm in the DC Universe" James shouted in his mind but his body took over and immediately he started crying.
As the woman carried him, James immediately felt safe as though he was in his mother's arms.
"Oh no wait, she is my mother, yay biology" James thought since he knew that the only reason why babies who couldn't even see properly felt safer in their mother's arms was because of Oxytocin.
"So this is my mother... Wait a minute, Kryptonians banned natural childbirth after the war and judging from the well-furnished room and no explosive sounds then that means the war had ended and this woman must be Lara Lor-Van aka Superman's biological mother" James thought after a brief look around the environment.
This small piece of information changed everything after all this simply meant that he was the future Superman.
"No that's not possible, I mean I can't possibly spend my time saving idiots only to be persecuted for not saving one, that is not the kind of life, I want. I reincarnated to enjoy my life not to become a god enslaved by humankind's whim" James thought slightly angrily as he thought about his new identity and what it meant
"That's good, now back to sleep my dear" Lara said as she gently placed James back into the crib. In the process of doing so, James finally noticed the other being that was sleeping quietly in the crib
"Wait I'm a twin, oh thank god. That means I am not the future Superman" James thought happily as a slight happy and cute chuckle escaped his lips, instantly making a smile on his new mother's face
Thinking about this fact, James felt like someone had just lifted a massive burden from their shoulders but then arose another problem
"Wait this doesn't change anything, it just reduces the chances of me being the future Superman, there is no guarantee that I am not Kal-El until they name us" James thought as the happy smile on his face instantly disappeared and replaced by an extremely troubled look
Meanwhile, his mother Lara Lor-Van just stood there shocked at the expressions she saw on her son's face. She may not be an experienced mother or even have any references for motherhood but she was sure that this was definitely not normal.
Lara stood there observing her son as his expression changed from happy to worried then to curious in just mere minutes but just couldn't find anything that caused this change. Kryptonians had banned natural childbirth centuries ago and adopted the Genesis chambers which basically grow the child from infancy to adolescence while impacting common knowledge into them.
This simply means that not many Kryptonians knew how to take care of a baby and the few who knew, were too high up in the council to consult thus Lara knew next to nothing about child care past what was written in the records which wasn't exactly much to begin with.

Days later, Jor-El along with another man could be seen standing in front of a group of mini space crafts.
This was the main component of the infiltration program, Project New Worlds. This program was started with the intention of sending child soldiers to new worlds in which they will conquer from within.
That was why Jor-El and his younger brother, Zor-El along with a few other scientists and engineers were tasked with creating little space crafts that would contain these genetically modified children and send them to the various planets without them being spotted by any radar.
This project was only brought into the works by the Council because Krypton was somehow trying to expand their territory while ignoring the fact that their home world was dying.
At this moment, none of that mattered to neither Jor-El nor his brother Zor-El, both knew that the project was a waste as the planet would never exist past the next day.
The brothers had worked harder than they ever had to complete the project and even upgrade it with a phantom drive. All with a single reason in mind, they had to save their children. For Jor-El, it was his newborn twins who also happened to be the first and only Natural born children on Krypton and as for Zor-El, it was to save his daughter who like everyone else on Krypton was also grown in the Genesis chamber but unlike the other kryptonians, she could be said to be related to both him and his wife, Alura Zor-El by blood.
They were both men who somehow found warmth in the cold kryptonian society. At the moment, they stood in front of a set of completed space crafts now all that remained was to send his children away.
