 A Place Between 
Years ago, Clark Kent and his friend Lana Lang were carrying out their annual ritual of jumping from the top of old man Colder's grain silo into his haystacks. On this particular occasion, though, Lana lost her footing, and Clark was sure they would miss the haystacks and die. Instinctively, he pulled Lana into his arms, and she lost consciousness. Clark closed his eyes, bracing himself for the fall that never came. He opened his eyes, and realized that he was floating with Lana in mid-air.

Now, Clark is Superman, and he and Wraith are in Nova Scotia searching for Lois Lane, who has gone missing while investigating a terrorist group called Ascension. Fortunately, Wraith spots a strange pattern in the air that suggests that Ascension may be in a seaplane or boat. Superman suggests they go to his home to scan for it.

Deep in the Atlantic Ocean, Lois has been captured on Ascension's submarine. They have claimed that her father, General Sam Lane is responsible for Ascension's creation, but she doesn't believe it. Their leader responds that General Lane is one of a number of men whose actions made Ascension both possible and needed; traitors all. Their traitorous act being the command over the organization known as the Machine.

The Machine, they explain, is a secret military branch formed in 1938 when an alien race first made contact with earth by sending its envoy with an equation embedded in its ship. The equation was of a geological nature, explaining how to exploit earth's minerals for technological advancement. Since then, the Machine has used the equation and the alien to chart the country's course. Ascension was created to chart a new course.

Lois demands some proof that they haven't made it up, and the leader reveals his identity, claiming that his lineage as the grandson of the man who founded the machine ought to be proof enough. He is Jonathan Rudolph, and his grandfather William told him much about the Machine while in his senility. One of the secrets he had revealed was that he had used the equation against the Machine to create something called the Earthstone; a combination of some of the rarest and purest stones on the planet, mixed and remixed to create technology more advanced and powerful than any invention in human history. This crystal technology could rival that of the most advanced races in the universe, and it was native to Earth. And Ascension has been mastering that technology with each attack it has made. Those attacks, meanwhile, are meant to send humanity through time, back to its beginning; free of the influence of the alien technology.

Not long after the incident at Mr. Colder's farm, Clark attempted to fly of his own accord, managing only to jump an average height and distance. Frustrated, he returned home, to find his mother being held at gunpoint by Mr. Colder, who knew about Clark and Lana's visit to his property.

At the Fortress of Solitude, Superman locates the energy signature of Ascension's sub. In the meantime, Wraith has a look around and notices that the fortress is full of technology from alien races Superman has defeated. He wonders why Clark doesn't turn them over to his country. Clark responds grimly that no country should have weapons like these. Moving on, Wraith wonders if Clark can use his technology to map the location of his home planet. Looking on it, he remarks that his planet might as well have vanished as Krypton did, for all his remaining connection to it.

He has been on Earth for some time, and his people are older than those of Krypton, though they shared a propensity for the spread of knowledge and peace. Superman doubts this, noting that Wraith seems to have allied himself fully with the US Military's agenda.
