《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 18
Advertisement
When Kara, J'onn and M'yrnn arrived at the Fortress of Solitude, M'yrnn looked around the Fortress in awe, since he'd never seen it before.
"This place is truly incredible." M'yrnn said and Kara smiled.
"Yes it is. Clark told me that he built this place to have a bit of our old home in our new home. Of course, that was before we knew about Argo, but still, this place is truly beautiful." Kara agreed, right as Kelex approached.
"Hello Kara Zor-El, may I ask why you've brought Martians into the Fortress. I am preparing to execute Martian Protocol." Kelex said.
"Do it and I'll blast you. You are to give J'onn J'onzz and M'yrnn J'onzz guest level clearance." Kara said, her eyes lighting up.
"Of course lady Kara. How may I assist you today?" Kelex asked.
"Prepare the Phantom Zone projector to locate Malefic J'onzz and bring him here. And lockdown the fortress to ensure he cannot escape." Kara said.
"As you wish Lady Kara." Kelex said.
"Thank you for your help Kara." J'onn said.
"You're welcome, but how do you plan to get Malefic to let you enter his mind. I seem to recall that trying to force your way in could kill you both." Kara said.
"By apologizing to him and offering him a way into my mind. Once the connection is established, it can't be stopped. When he enters my mind, I will be able to enter and restore his." J'onn said and Kara nodded.
"I am here if you need my help." Kara said and J'onn nodded at her gratefully.
"Thank you." J'onn said as they walked up to the projector, where Kelex was waiting.
"Have you located the target?" Kara asked.
"I have." Kelex said and Kara took a deep breath.
"Anti martian escape protocols are in effect correct?" Kara asked, since she had no intention of letting Malefic leave the Fortress until she was sure his threat was neutralized.
"Yes, the fortress is sealed and is vibrating at a frequency Kal-El discovered is impossible for any martian to phase through." Kelex said.
"Good. Now, turn the projector on." Kara said as she took a deep breath as Kelex turned on the projector.
About a second later, Malefic J'onzz exited the portal.

"So you have finally released me brother." Malefic asked in their native tongue.
"Yes, to atone for what I did to you. I am so sorry Mal. And to make it up to you." J'onn said as he knelt down.
"What are you doing?" Malefic asked.
"I am letting you into my mind." J'onn said in English for Kara's benefit.
"Why would you do such a thing?" Malefic asked.
"Because it is the only way that I know you will believe my words are true." J'onn said as he stood up and let Malefic approach him.
"How do you know that I won't just kill you?" Malefic asked.
"I don't. But I'm hoping that when you see my remorse, you will forgive me." J'onn said as Malefic placed his hand on J'onn's temple, initiating the bond, but before he could make a move, J'onn quickly restored his brother's memories before pulling away.
"J'onn." Malefic said, all anger leaving him as he looked at his brother.
"Hello brother. It is good to see you again." J'onn said as the two of them hugged.
"Hello my son." M'yrnn said, making Malefic realize that his father was here.
"Father, I am so sorry for the pain I caused you. It was so great that J'onn had to erase me from the hive mind to ease your suffering." Malefic said, but M'yrnn shook his head.
"No my son, it is I who owe you an apology. I should never have treated you the way that I did. H'ronmeer tested me and I failed. But I will not fail again, now that I remember you." M'yrnn said as he hugged his younger son gratefully.
"Father, you know I cannot stay here. I must return to Mars and fix what I helped to break." Malefic said.
"Well hopefully, we can make one stop first." J'onn said.
"What do you mean?" Malefic asked.
"My daughters are alive Mal. And I want them to meet you." J'onn said.
"Are you sure?" Malefic asked.
"Yes I am. And M'gann will be waiting for you when you do return to Mars." J'onn said and Malefic nodded.
When the four of them returned to the Tower, J'onn smiled when he saw all three of his daughters interacting happily, since he still considered both Alex and Kara to be his daughters, even though he knew that both of their real parents were still alive. Which reminded him, they needed to start looking for Jeremiah.

"Everyone, this is my brother, Malefic." J'onn said.
"I didn't know you had a brother." K'hym said as she looked at her uncle in surprise.
"That's because I did not get along with your father or grandfather very well until recently. I brought shame on our family and I was sent away because of it. But now, I have a chance to redeem myself." Malefic said, not wanting his nieces to know that he was a traitor.
"What do you mean?" Alura asked.
"I know how the White Martians think. I believe that I can bring our races together." Malefic said.
"How do you know them?" T'ania asked and J'onn sighed.
"Because your uncle worked with them during the war. He was born with a rare disorder, and our people ostracized him for it. So, we hid him away. I hid him away." M'yrnn said shamefully.
"I don't understand." K'hym asked and Malefic looked down at her and T'ania.
"I lack the ability to connect with the Martian Hive Mind. However, instead, I can affect it negatively, hurting green martians, particularly your father and I also have the power to incept. However, I grew angry at J'onn and father and the rest of our kind for treating me the way they did. So, when the White Martians discovered me and offered me my freedom and revenge, I took it. Now I am ashamed of my actions." Malefic said.
"The only reason you took those actions is because we left you no choice but to. And for that, I am sorry." J'onn said.
"Your father sent me to the Phantom Zone after he caught me." Malefic said.
"And then, to soothe my father's anguish, I erased Malefic from our hive mind. It wasn't until shortly before I returned to Mars that I myself was reminded of him and my shameful act." J'onn said.
"Can we trust him?" T'ania asked, eying her uncle suspiciously.
"We formed a mental bond and restored our brotherly bond. He is family, not the enemy." J'onn assured his daughters.
"And I believe that I can end the prejudice between the Green and White Martians once and for all." Malefic said.
"What do you mean?" Kara asked.
"While I was in the Phantom Zone, I had a lot of time to think. I used to wonder why H'ronmeer cursed me the way he did with power, as it seemed to do nothing but make people miserable, but now I've realized that this was always his plan. He made me this way so that I could be the one to bring his children together." Malefic said.
"The one son of the Greens who understands the whites." J'onn said.
"Yes, since I understand both sides, I believe that I can be the one to unite our people for the first time since Phobos and Deimos." Malefic said and M'yrnn smiled.
"I know you can, my son. And I am so proud." M'yrnn said, but Malefic shook his head no.
"No father. Do not say that to me yet, for I have not truly earned it. But I will someday. After I have helped bring an end to the same war I helped to ignite and make Mars a safe place for you, J'onn and the girls again." Malefic said and M'yrnn smiled.
"And I believe that day is soon in our future my son. But I will be happy living here with J'onn while you work to end the war." M'yrnn said.
"Perhaps you wouldn't mind some company." Astra said, surprising them all.
"What do you mean?" Malefic asked.
"You are not the only one who has sins to atone for. I cannot help this planet. Not the way my niece does. But my experience as a soldier may be of use to the resistance. They know how to fight martians, but not a kryptonian." Astra said and J'onn nodded.
"Not a bad idea. Not to mention it could be used as your parole." J'onn said and Alura nodded.
"When I return to Argo, I will make the same proposal to the council." Alura said and Astra nodded as they continued talking and celebrating the reunion both J'onn and Kara's families.

8 184The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
8 89The Returner’s One Millionth Life
Every time the mc dies he returns to his childhood bedroom at the age of three until his one millionth life were the world suddenly ends. \System Notification The author of the following novel is new and has no idea what he wants to do with his story so please be patient with him and his novel. He is open to critiques but please do not be a jerk about it or he wont read your comment. Thank you for your consideration/
