WHEN FIRE RAINED DOWN FROM SKY, PANDORA DAVINO'S LIFE CHANGED FOREVER. Because not only did the rocks that tore apart her town destroy her home, but they killed her mother too. And with her Uncle too young to become her legal guardian, she was sent to a man who hadn't known she existed: her Father. Then she became Pandora Cranston.

It wasn't until a few years later, when Power Rangers appeared in Angel Grove, that Pandora Cranston realised that the meteor shower had done more than change her family; it had changed her as well. Because as her brother and his friends were fighting off an attack of Rita Repulsa's putties, Pandora Cranston discovered she could control water. Instead of running from the girl, the team of Rangers decided to take her to the only person they could think of who would know something: Zordon. And that was how Pandora Cranston discovered her brother was a Power Ranger.

Zordon, intrigued by the abilities the young Cranston girl possessed, figured it out that it was a mineral from the planet Krypton that had given her gift to manipulate water. He found out she was infected with this material and had been since the meteor shower ruined her home and stole the life of her Mother. There was also nothing he could do to undo it so she would have these powers until the day she died. 

Pandora never imagined this would happen to her and she couldn't even believe that so many would not fear her but rather support her with her abilities. She really was so lucky to have this family, these Rangers, having her back. And despite all the ups and downs that they went through, they would always be there for her. She loved them for that.

And after his time as a Ranger was complete, Billy Cranston decided to travel to a planet he had wanted to visit: Aquitar. So, of course, Pandora went with him.

Aquitar, a planet of water, and Pandora, a girl who could connect to water like no other, it was a fascinating match. And her time on the water planet allowed Pandora to finally be fully in control of the powers the Kryptonite had given her. But she couldn't stay.

Billy, the caring big brother that he was, wanted Pandora to have as normal of a life as she could. So, once it neared the time for her to attend High School, Billy sent his younger sister back to Earth, back to Smallville, to her Uncle who would care for her. But Smallville wasn't like any ordinary town. It wasn't even like Angel Grove. And Pandora, she wasn't exactly ready for what she was going to face.

But she wasn't going to have to face it alone as a fellow student by the name of Clark Kent seemed intrigued by the returned member of the Smallville community. And unbeknownst to either of them, they were both different and exactly what the other needed.

epigraph:

"And I'd choose you;
in a hundred lifetimes,
in a hundred worlds,
in any version of reality,
I'd find you and 
I'd choose you."

quotes:

"How are you so okay with me not being human?"

"Because, extra-terrestrial or not, you're still Clark Kent. And besides, it's not like you're the first one I've met."

about:

fullname: Pandora Davino / Cranston

family: Samuel Cranston (Father)
Reyna Davino (Mother) †
Angelo Davino (Uncle)
Billy Cranston (half-brother)

the early life of pandora davino / cranston

• Pandora is originally from Smallville where she was raised by her Mother until the meteor shower. The meteor shower killed Reyna and Angelo was still a minor himself so he couldn't take Pandora who then was sent to Angel Grove to her Father who previously didn't know she existed. So she was born Pandora Davino but later changes her name to Pandora Cranston yet when she returns to Smallville, they mainly just remember her as Pandora Davino.

• Billy (being the older brother) and his friends basically raised Pandora themselves. She's very close with them. 

• Then in 1993, with Pandora being about 6/7, she's with her brother and his friends (who were new to being Rangers) as they were attacked by Putties and in the fight, Pandora uses her powers for the first time. Instead of freaking out, they take her to Zordon and Pandora finds out her brother is a Ranger. Zordon discovers she has been infected by Kryptonite so Pandora knows about Krypton's existence before Clark.

• Pandora is still a child so she doesn't really get involved with the Ranger stuff unless she's attacked. The others are also helping her control her powers.

• Because her powers are water based, Pandora goes with Billy to Aquitar and she really enjoys it. Travelling with him, she loves it. But when she reaches the age to go to High School, Billy wants her to have a normal life so sends her back to Smallville to live with her Uncle and attend school.

• POWERS: Pandora can manipulate water and can draw it from practically anything. She can also breathe underwater and can swim almost as fast as Aquaman.

notes:

• So, this is a power rangers crossover, because why not. It's very cool and I adore it so far.

• Pandora moves back to Smallville so she can attend High School so she's there from beginning of season 1. Her and Clark don't know each other at all and only the adults remember little Pandora Davino, although she goes by Cranston now.

• Pandora discovers Clark's powers first (he doesn't know she knows and she thinks his powers are from the Kryptonite rocks). It takes him a while longer but he finds out about her powers and then confronts her so she knows and then she discovers he's actually from Krypton and not just infected like her.

• The Rangers trained Pandora to fight, so she knows how to defend herself without her powers. And her time on Aquitar, a planet coated with water, it helped her learn full control. So she's a badass.

• Pandora is very sweet, yet she can stick up for herself and is not afraid to call someone out on their bullshit. Her relationship with Clark in the beginning consists of her getting annoyed with his lame excuses but also slowly falling for him. She also later figures out that it's like Clark has the weight of the world on his shoulders (she recognises the look from her brother and his friends) so she does her best to lighten the load.

• Billy would come back a few years after Pandora and depending on if you have Pandora and Clark knowing about each other before, depends on whether Billy finds out on a visit to Smallville. And after he comes back, he starts work on his tech company that Pandora later works at.

• Pandora and Billy are very different but they share the same gift for science and invention. She also swims for the Smallville swim team WITHOUT her powers. 

• There are a lot of seasons of Smallville, so I couldn't write down everything I had in mind, so feel free to develop this plot how you wish and ask me whatever questions you need along the way.  

IMPORTANT — anything not mentioned in this timeline is up to you to develop, giving you space for your own ideas. Also, if you have any questions, please private message me, I'm more than happy to answer them.
