During the week that J'onn had been helping Alura with acclimating to Earth, he still found himself restless. His last trip to his home planet had led to some startling revelations and the possibility that he was not the last Green Martian. After the violent White Martians had invaded Earth in December last year one of them had suggested that a group of Green Martians survived the purge and took refuge on Earth. This thought plagued J'onn and left him unable to meditate. Finally he realized he had to know for sure. With Kara, Barry and Alex helping Alura, he knew he could return to Mars one more time.

Upon arriving on the planet, his telepathy was instantly assaulted. At first he thought it was the ghosts of his people haunting him as he had been transported to Earth shortly after the deaths of his wife and daughters. Clutching his head, he fell to his knees and let out a yell that would have woken the dead. Though he tried to block out the multitude of voices screaming at him, he was unsuccessful and failed to sense the presence quickly approaching. In moments, a cloak was thrown around his shoulders. This figure helped him escape as a small fraction of the White Martians had also heard his scream and were not far away and prepared to investigate.

J'onn and his savior had little time to escape the approaching enemy and were almost caught. With little time before they were set upon, the unknown rescuer used telepathy to mask their presence from their pursuers. As they blended into the desolate landscape, the White Martians ran past them. Now in the clear, the hooded figure led the Martian Manhunter towards a cave where they would be safe and all would be revealed.

J'onn was disoriented as his mind was still ringing with the voices of the dead. While he had been unable to sense the approaching stranger, he had felt it when the cloak was draped over his shoulders and he was rushed off to who knows where. Slowly, his mind began to clear and when he could look around he took in his surroundings though the area was dark.

"Where am I? Who are you and why have you brought me here?"

"Patience J'onn J'onnz, all will be revealed in time. Please let your mind clear before you attempt to interrogate me. The walls of this cave will block out the telepathic remains of your slain people."

J'onn could feel his mind beginning to calm and no longer heard the ghosts from his past. Though he was angry, he was also mystified that his rescuer knew his name. In the back of his mind, the thought of this being some sort of trap made him keep his guard up.

"How do you know my name? Why have you brought me here?"

"I know everything about you J'onn. I sensed your presence the last time you came to Mars after our ancient enemies invaded the planet you call home. And I brought you here to save your life from those same enemies."

"Earth, it is my home. Mars has not been for many years. But you have not answered my question. How do you know me, and who are you?"

"I had hoped that our first meeting would go better than this. You have no reason to trust me."

"You're right, I don't. So let me go."

"I can't do that. I did bring you here for a reason. And I can see that there's only one way I can earn your trust."

With an audible sigh, J'onn's savior removed the mask with a built in voice modulator. Upon speaking again, the voice took on a more feminine timbre and she knew that the revelation of her identity was going to be a massive shock and had to ease him into it, slowly removing her hood.

"I'm sorry that I had to hide my nature from you J'onn. I didn't know how you would react to meeting me especially after believing you were the only Green Martian left."

With her hood pulled back and her voice now more compassionate, dim lights were brightened so she and J'onn could meet face to face. As his eyes cleared he could see that she had long red hair, green skin like his, and was dressed in a uniform similar to his though it was white and blue with the red markings across the chest while his was black.

"Now that you can see me, I hope you'll begin to trust me. I did bring you here to save your life. You are the last family I have. My name is M'gann M'orzz. You're my Uncle."

J'onn fell silent in response to M'gann's revelation. He had long believed his entire family had died in the White Martian's attacks. He wanted to refute her comment, his trust being something she still had to earn. She could sense his confusion even without reading his mind. J'onn's emotions were like a tidal wave to her mind and she had to temporarily shut off her telepathy lest she catch a stray thought or read his mind without permission.

"I can understand that this must be confusing for you, Uncle. For years you've believed that you were the last of our kind. That was true for the longest time. When I was born, the White Martians had already wiped out our kind. All except for you and me. I was just a baby when they found me. Knowing that a baby Green was valuable, they took me..."

"How would you know all this if you were just a baby?"

"I'm getting there, I promise. I was brought to their leader by the scouts that found me. He believed I could be used as a weapon due to the long held belief that more Greens than I had survived. I was experimented on, forced to age at an accelerated rate. Physically, I'm likely as old as you are, but mentally, my captors kept me living as a teenager. They believed that if they kept my mind in a certain level of immaturity I could be easily manipulated. They would have succeeded if not for one of their kind who rebelled and saved me."

"I'm not sure I can believe this story M'gann. The White Martians were vile, and bloodthirsty. They blamed our kind for relegating them to the subterranean levels of Mars. Centuries they spent cultivating that belief, fostering hatred in their young until the dam broke and they attacked, committing genocide. I could only watch as my wife and daughters were killed in the war, right before I was taken to Earth."

"I know. My White Martian benefactor told me the stories about the Manhunters. She had heard of you specifically and said you were one of the bravest of all. She even knew your father."

"My father is dead. He was killed in the purge as well. He was a man of peace, wanted nothing to do with the war."

"Exactly, this is why she saved me. She didn't even know I was related to you, but your father showed her a better way. He taught her that she could be more than what her nature demanded. We remained hidden for years, surviving however we could until we found a way to Earth. Sadly, her body didn't adapt as well as mine. She died and I never even learned her name."

"So if you've been on Earth, why did either of you not try to find me? If we're family as you say, I could have helped you, especially after she died."

"Because we didn't know you had survived."

"You contradict yourself; just moments ago you told me you knew I had been taken to Earth."

"I learned that only recently. You kept yourself well hidden among the humans, Uncle. I saw the footage on my T.V. I was there on Earth when you were being used to attack National City. I hope you'll tell me what happened someday. Right now, it doesn't matter. What matters is that neither of us is alone anymore. We can be the family for each other that we both lost."

J'onn wants to believe M'gann and everything she's telling him. There's just something in the back of his mind that doesn't add up about her story. But she did save him from a group of White Martians that would have killed him if they found him. He knows his hesitancy is coming from Despero controlling him, Henshaw trying to kill him, and despite Kara and Alex being like daughters, he's really holding on to the hope that he was never the last of his kind. He'd seen what that did to Kal-El before Kara landed on Earth.

"All right M'gann, let's say I believe you. If you are my niece as you claim, who was your father? Why do you carry the last name M'orzz?"

"M'orzz is my Mother's surname. She was kind, also only wanted peace between all of Martian kind. One day she met a fellow Green Martian who claimed to be working towards that peace. But he had a darker side that he kept hidden from her for all the years they worked together. I only know bits and pieces of their history from my benefactor, but they started as colleagues, became friends, and then lovers. I was born just before he revealed his true nature."

M'gann has to pause as she is about to recount some of the darker aspects of her father's history. Talking about this still hurts to this day, but she knows that J'onn has a right to learn the truth if he's going to trust her. Accepting that she can't keep this a secret she slowly begins to speak again.

"My father was not who my mother thought he was. Everything about him had been falsified as he believed that the peaceful nature of our kind was the wrong way to live. No one ever suspected that he was the one who supplied the White Martians with the weaponry used to annihilate the Green. Weapons that were provided to him by Darkseid of Apokolips..."

J'onn can feel the anger and sadness coming from M'gann as she pauses again. In his mind he could suspect who she was talking about and an intense feeling of dread filled the pit of his stomach as he had an idea of the name that was about to be spoken.

"Uncle, my father was your twin brother Malefic J'onnz."

A feeling of rage exploded in J'onn's heart as his father had long decried Malefic's violent nature. The brothers were constantly at odds with each other, even in their youth. While it had started as nothing more than sibling rivalry, Malefic grew bitter and resentful as J'onn was always the favored son. He could do no wrong while Malefic only wanted their father's approval. But J'onn had always loved his brother, going so far as to defend him to their father on multiple occasions.

"What did he do M'gann? What happened to your mother?"

"He killed her and then claimed it was a White Martian that had done so. I know you're wondering how I could know this, and it wasn't my benefactor who told me. I felt my mother's death through the telepathic bond she imprinted on me. Even as a baby, nothing is stronger than the love of a parent for their child."

J'onn knew that all too well. He had watched constantly as anytime his daughters were sick, or having nightmares, they always sought out their mother. Even as they got older, the bond was always there. He had a similar bond with the girls, but not as strong due to his position as a Manhunter keeping him busy dispensing justice on Mars. Now he believes he has a second chance. He may have a family on Earth with the D.E.O. but with M'gann he has someone who truly understands where they come from. He has a last member of his family that he can get to know, and his next actions shock her as he pulls her into a hug.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"This is a form of showing affection among humankind. It is called a hug. In your time on Earth, you have never experienced this?"

"No...my benefactor and I stayed hidden until I was old enough to protect myself. It wasn't ideal being isolated as we were, but it allowed us to survive. I didn't even know what a T.V. was before I got restless after she died. I..."

M'gann stops talking as J'onn's hug becomes even more comforting. At first she was confused at what she was feeling, but finally loosened up and returned the hug, wrapping her arms around his back. While she let herself get slightly lost in it, she kept her mind focused on their surroundings and sensed when the White Martians had departed. J'onn looked down at his newly discovered niece and made an offer he wasn't even sure he was prepared for.

"M'gann, how would you like to come home to Earth with me?"

"Uncle...yes!"

"Good, I promise, you'll never be alone again."

"Neither will you."
