M'yrnn J'onzz was currently engaged in a prayer to H'ronmeer as his granddaughters slept, probably one of the first peaceful rests they'd gotten since before the war had begun, though M'yrnn was concerned about the psychic message T'ania had sent out shortly after they'd arrived.

But before he could even finish his prayer, the door to their room opened and someone pretending to be his son walked in.

"Who are you and why have you dared to take my son's form?" M'yrnn said.

"No father, it is me. It's J'onn." J'onn said, though he knew it wouldn't be that easy to convince him.

"My son is dead." M'yrnn said.

"No father, it is me. I survived. If you allow me into your mind, I can prove it to you." J'onn said.

"No. No, I will never allow a White Martian inside my head." M'yrnn said.

"But that's not a white martian grandfather." A new voice said, alerting both of the adults to the fact that T'ania had woken up and she was walking towards J'onn.

"T'ania, get back here. Whatever game they are playing, it is a trick." M'yrnn said, but T'ania shook her head.

"No, it's no trick. I can sense it. He's the one I sent my message to. A link that never truly died, though unlike you and Kh'ym, I was the only one who noticed that. And when we were freed, I finally woke it up." T'ania said as she stopped right in front of her father.

"It can't be." M'yrnn said, refusing to even consider allowing that hope to surface.

"May I?" J'onn asked his daughter, who nodded as they mindmelded and J'onn projected a memory from her childhood of the day M'yrnn had left worship early to surprise J'onn for his birthday and the moment M'yrnn saw that, all doubts he had about who this person was were gone.

"J'onn." M'yrnn said with joy as he rushed forward to hug his son, also waking Kh'ym up by his volume.

"What is going on?" Kh'ym asked before she noticed what was happening.

"Father?" Kh'ym asked in shock at seeing her grandfather and sister hugging what looked like her long lost father.

"It's me Kh'ym." J'onn said as Kh'ym wasted no time in joining the J'onzz family hug.

"How is this possible? We thought you died in the war?" Kh'ym asked.

"I managed to escape the carnage and to my shame, I fled to Earth. Had I known you were still alive, I wouldn't have left until after I saved all three of you and brought you with me. Which is what is happening now. You're all coming back to Earth with me, since it's too dangerous for any martian with green skin to be on this planet right now." J'onn said.

"I can't wait to see Earth." Kh'ym said, since other worlds had fascinated her before the war had destroyed her life.

"Now come with me. There's some people I want you to meet." J'onn said as he led his family out of the room.

When they entered the main chamber, they saw that the rest of the white martians had shifted to take human forms, including M'gann and J'inn, who'd returned to their human forms, though M'gann was still wearing her Miss Martian suit and J'onn did the same, staying in his martian manhunter gear, but shifting to his human form.

"Why does everyone look different?" Kh'ym asked, only to be nudged by her grandfather as he also shifted to a human form and T'ania did the same thing.

"It is our culture to make our guests feel more comfortable." M'yrnn reminded her and Kh'ym rolled her eyes before taking a human form too.

"M'yrnn, Kh'ym and T'ania, meet my Earth family, Kara Danvers and Alex Danvers, along with Kara's cousin Connor Kent. Plus your cousin M'gann M'orzz. She's your aunt J'ann's daughter." J'onn said.

"I recognize that glyph on your chest. You are Kryptonian." M'yrnn said to Kara, who nodded.

"My birth name is Kara Zor-El. Earth has become a safe refuge for select members of my family, including my cousin Kon-El here." Kara said.

"I did not realize that there were any surviving Kryptonians out there." M'yrnn said.

"A small colony of our people on Argo City, which my father Zor-El managed to save by creating a shield to protect the city from Krypton's destruction. But a few Kryptonians including myself call Earth home. Along with my cousin Kal-El, my younger sister Samirah Zor-El and my dog Krypto. Along with Kon-El, who is a clone of Kal-El and my other younger sister Karen Zor-El, who's a clone of me." Kara said.

"Lots of clones on Earth." Kh'ym said.

"Not as many as you might think. Karen and I were both created by Kara and Kal's enemies to be used as weapons against them, but we chose a different path. To be heroes like our siblings, since Karen and I see Kara and Kal as our siblings." Connor said.

"But you're not Kryptonian are you?" T'ania asked Alex, who shook her head.

"No, I'm human, but I'm a member of the Green Lantern Corp and I'm still appalled that the Corp didn't step in to help the Green Martians. Rules be damned, if I'd been alive back then and had this ring, I would've charged right in without a second thought." Alex said.

"And both Kara and Alex have become like daughters to me, though they've never been a replacement for you." J'onn said.

"And who's this?" M'yrnn asked, looking at J'inn.

"Meet the exiled Princess of the White Martians, J'inn H'rac. And my new potential mate." J'onn said.

"We've heard of Princess J'inn and should things go the way they did before, I will welcome you into our family. Despite your ancestry." M'yrnn said and J'inn released a breath of relief she didn't know she was holding.

"Thank you for saving my granddaughter M'gann." M'yrnn said.

"Of course. I just wish I could've saved more and I'm nothing like my family." J'inn said.

"And we believe you." M'yrnn said as M'att cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but there is something else we need to discuss." M'att said.

"What?" Kh'ym asked.

"The staff of Kolar. The other whites have found it and they plan to use it to wipe us all out. We need to know where it is before they can use it." M'att asked.

"It's not far from here. At the base near the L'orien crater." M'yrnn said.

"Leave a small squad here to guard our guests. But Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, Green Lantern, Superboy, Miss Martian, Princess J'inn, care to join us?" M'att asked and they all nodded and grinned.

"Let's do this." Supergirl said.
