During the weekends, Eli delivers milk in the complex plane. On Saturday, he begins at $z$ and delivers milk to houses located at $z^3,z^5,z^7,\ldots,z^{2013}$ in that order; on Sunday, he begins at $1$ and delivers milk to houses located at $z^2,z^4,z^6,\ldots,z^{2012}$ in that order. Eli always walks directly (in a straight line) between two houses. If the distance he must travel from his starting point to the last house is $\sqrt{2012}$ on both days, find the real part of $z^2$.
