The sterile hum of the underground lab shattered as alarms screamed. Conner, a pale, buff figure with short black hair and wide blue eyes, blinked against the harsh sunlight for the first time. He had spent his brief existence in a test tube, unaware of the world beyond. Now, dragged out by masked heroes, he stood trembling. Suddenly, a familiar, towering figure in a red cape descended from the sky—Clark Kent. Seeing a younger replica of himself, Clark’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. Without warning, the Man of Steel struck with terrifying speed. Conner, naive and untrained, stumbled back, unable to block the brutal blows. Each hit sent a shockwave through him, tightening the mysterious, soul-deep bond he felt pulling toward something unknown, something that felt like home.
