The two had left in the dark and arrived at the Fortress in the dark. It would be a month before a sunrise graced Antarctica, perfect for sneaking in a Martian in green form.

J'onn watched Kara's face being scanned by a light he had not seen before in the ice. She brushed snow off a rocky frozen wall and placed her finger on a small depression in it.

The large door that J'onn would have sworn was a natural part of the mountain  slid open. The Martian and Kryptonian walked in, one as if she owned the place, which she did, and one very cautious, taking in the sheer impossibleness of a place like this existing.

"Relax J'onn, nothing in here bites." Kara told him, amused at the look on his face.

"I'm just trying to take it all in. Its amazing. All this from a bag of crystals."

Kelex flew in front of the two.

"Welcome back, Kara. And you must be J'onn Jonzz of Mars. A pleasure to meet you face to face,so to speak."

"He really does sound like Loki." J'onn muttered.

"Kelex, take J'onn's eyes, facial recognition for his the scanners and a DNA sample. He will have access to Justin and be able to enter the Fortress as he pleases."

"Shall I place him in the command sequence?"

"Yes, he will be number four."

"Number 4?" J'onn asked, trying not to flinch when Kelex poked his finger, very hard.

"Yep, if I go down, Alex has control, If both of us go down, Mom and Dad have control and we are going to hope they can be on the same page. I would have never heard the end of it if I placed one over the other. If all Danvers are out of contact or unable to take command of the Fortress it reverts to Dante and then you."

J'onn nodded his head. "I suppose as far as places go, I am pretty high up."

"You will have access to the mainframe as you wish. I should probably introduce you to Justin."

J'onn followed her to the middle of the large chamber they were in and saw a circular machine, twelve foot high and a monitor and keyboard in front.

"Good morning, Justin."

"Hey baby. How are you today? I was wondering when I could see that face again to go along with that voice. Being here with Kelex gets a bit monotonous."

"Is that the singer you were so obsessed with when you were fifteen?" the Martian asked, amused.

"I was not obsessed and he is a musical genius." Kara told the man.

"Elvis, the Beatles, James Brown, they were musical geniuses. This guy was a pop star."

"Is a pop star and it is a legitimate form of music. Unless you want to be locked out in the cold while I take care of business, I would suggest you do not criticize guys who I admire but am not obsessed with."

"I wouldn't dream of it. So this is the computer that sees the world. How does it work?"

"I have no idea about the inner workings. Kelex built it and it can basically use every phone in the world, every camera, every recording device, security cameras, computer and wireless signals to present a clear map of the civilized portions of the world. Areas like the Congo, Sahara, the uninhabited rain forests of South America and so forth can't be seen obviously, but he can access weather and spy satellites to give me an overhead view of those areas. It also has facial and voice recognition, so if you have a recording and picture of an enemy you want to find, he or she is pretty much guaranteed to be found, unless he is in a hidden part of the world."
