Summary
In Man of Steel, there is this moment in the fight between General Zod and Jor-El, when the former, hampered by his unwillingness to kill an old friend or due to misjudging a scientist’s fighting prowess (or possibly both), finds himself on his hands and knees while the latter gets hold of a gun, several steps away and behind the general’s back. Realistically, the fight should have ended there, one way or the other.
In the film, Kal-El’s escape pod entering the final stages of the launch provides a distraction at that crucial moment, plus a motivation for Zod to lose all inhibitions concerning deadly force, and ultimately results in Jor-El’s death. What if the timing of the launch was off by a few seconds …? And why does everyone forget about the third person in the room?!?

Tendragos left a comment on FFnet that had my muse thinking ‘Hey, that’s a cute idea!’ And then the current situation, that makes you long for family, did the rest. Rare fluffiness ahead.Series
