   Summary

   Our protagonist is reborn as Val-El, the younger brother of Kal-El, aka Superman, and, by extension, one of the few remaining remnants of Krypton. This is the tale of a legacy's end and a new one's beginning.

   However, most of all, it is a tale of two brothers finding their place amongst the stars while fighting to protect those who live alongside them.

   In other words, Calvin Markus Kent firmly believes that everyone has a plan until they're punched in the face.

   He just wished he had a chance to make a plan, at least.
