What if Joyce Byers had another son? What if that son fell from the stars?
Sebastian Conner Byers has a secret. Born as Kal-El on the dying planet Krypton, his spaceship crashed in Hawkins, Indiana in 1971, becoming one of the town's most infamous mysteries. Taken by Hawkins Laboratory, he became **Subject Seven**-Dr. Brenner's favorite experiment. Tortured, tested, and weaponized for six years until Joyce Byers risked everything to save him.
Now 13, Sebastian tries to be normal. He hides his super strength, pretends bullets don't bounce off him, and desperately controls the heat vision that could incinerate anyone who makes him angry. He just wants to protect his brothers, help his mom, and survive middle school.
Then Will vanishes. The Demogorgon appears. And a girl with a shaved head and the number 011 on her wrist stumbles into their lives.
Eleven.
Sebastian knows her. He's *always* known her. They were in the lab together-two children bonded by trauma and impossible power. She was his first friend. His protector. His *everything*.
But Mike Wheeler found her first. And Sebastian has to watch the girl he's loved since before he had words for love fall for someone else.
As the Upside Down threatens Hawkins, as government conspiracies unravel, as villains from another world hunt him, Sebastian must choose: hide what he is, or become the hero he was born to be.
Because Sebastian Byers isn't just Joyce's son. He's the last son of Krypton. He's humanity's hope. He's destined to become Superman.
