General Zod and Lyta-Zod in “Unfinished Business”

It's amazing to see you like this.

Lyta-Zod

Happy?

Happy, open. Smiling. What I remember most about you was how heavy the loss of Kandor weighed on your heart. You didn't like to talk about it, but I learned that you were in one of the military vessels attacking Brainiac's ship when he ripped the city from the ground. You never forget your failure to defend the city. It made you bitter.

Lyta-Zod

I guess you're saying I'm not a perfect mother.

Maybe, but you taught me to put the defense of this world above all else. You fashioned me into a weapon. I take pride in that.
