took even one step down towards us: our own heart, beating

Prelude
Stars. The ever-changing constellation that marked the passage-of time. It was time. In the pre-dawn light, sharp as the ice, white as the snow that swirls and falls, it hummed itself awake.
Latent directives-from the creator who had prepared the way. An analysis of the condition of the son, physiology, psychology, Kryptonian development impacted by yellow radiation. Compatibility. The female of this Earth species. Lois Lane Lana Lang. Fragile. Will not survive. Diana Prince. The only suitable vessel.
The application of will across time: He has already chosen.
Parameter added.
The One Loved. Profile: Bruce Wayne. Male of the species. Biological incompatibility.
Scanning-
Hybrid. Kryptonian DNA construct bonded to human DNA.
The application of will across time: We saved him. It was the only way. Re-compute.
Parameter added. Adopted son of the House of El.
Target suitable. Adjusting scenario to account for biological incompatibility.
Locating subject-
The application of will across time: There must be volition.
Parameter added.
Volition.
Scanning archives.
Unacceptable level of uncertainty. Insert variable.
Compute probabilities.
The application of will across time: Stop. Gently, my old friend. They are individuals, with individual hearts and minds.
Parameter added.
Resources allocated. Scenario...activated.
It waited.
It was sentient. It had purpose.
The last son should not be. The last.
