《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.

The Adventures of Alan
What happens when a university professor somehow ends up in another world, where magic bends the laws of nature? Alan is, albeit unwillingly, about to find out. As a professor of physics, he has a decent understanding of how the world works, or so he likes to think. Armed only with his knowledge, Alan is thrown into a world very different from his own. In his new reality, he will meet both friends and foe, he will seek knowledge, he will build power, and perhaps he will even find love again? Follow Alan through his adventures, and find out for yourselves how he deals with the challenges thrown at him by a new world, while struggling with the issues brought with him from his old one. * Author’s note: A fair warning. This is the first time I’ve published anything, and basically the first time I’ve written anything more than mandatory school-stuff. The story will probably have inconsistencies, grammatical errors (not my native tongue, though that excuse is getting old), and potentially confusing (missing?) plot. I will naturally do my best to write something worth reading, but my main goal in writing this story is to have fun and explore the limits of my own creativity. My hope in publishing it here, is that I’ll reach someone who enjoy the story, and can push me forward towards writing more, as it is difficult at times to find the motivation to write just for myself. Additionally, I can’t really promise to have regular updates, as I have a full-time job that often likes to take the ‘full-time’ part literally, and a sporadic social life that occasionally surprises me (happy surprises mostly, so I shouldn’t complain). I’ll aim for once a week to start with, and take it from there. Happy reading! Cover photo by Jeff Hire (/photographer/gun4hire-58415), from https://freeimages.com/.

Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
