Vosh stirred awake. His nap proved fruitless, the pain and fatigue that plagued him doubled. He found himself on the floor in a long, dark hall.

"Where am I?" He asked. His voice echoed down the hall.

By now, he was wise enough to know this wasn't the Waverider. Conner wouldn't have let him sleepwalk this far. He must've teleported in his sleep.

"Countless worlds have perished by my hand. You, Su Novu, are at the foot of greatness." Said a demonic voice.

Vosh's jaw clenched. He stood up and readied himself for a fight. "Show yourself Mobius." He growled.

The Anti-Monitor took 2 slow steps out of the darkness. His red eyes glowed. His ghostly white skin wrinkled as his lips pulled to a smile.

"I did not bring you here to fight," Said The Anti-Monitor.

"Then why am I here? What have you done to the others?" Vosh demanded.

"Relax, your mortal pets are safe. For now. I brought you here to chat."

"I have nothing to say to you, you sadist." Vosh hissed.

The Anti-Monitor breathed an impatient sigh. "You've always been so quick to judge. Never intent on learning."

"What could I possibly learn from you? You kill trillions for pleasure. You're pure evil." Vosh spat. His finger was aimed at Mobius in accusation.

"That may be, Su Novu, but you and I aren't as different as you've led yourself to believe. In fact, I believe we're the same."

Vosh scoffed. The notion was so ridiculous he laughed. "You're mentally unstable."

"Perhaps I am. Perhaps, the voice in our minds, that which has led us to this moment."

Vosh gulped. He clenched his fists tighter as her voice echoed in the darkest corners of his mind. His eyes sparked from anger.

"Her voice, the One who calls from beyond the wall, it guides me. It guides you too. If I'm mad... what does that make you?" The Anti-Monitor's question was tinged with cruelty.

"Stop it," Vosh barked.

"Which one of us nearly destroyed a planet after the death of our weak lover?"

"That... that was a mistake. I couldn't control my powers, but you..."

"Enough excuses, Su Novu. You know as well as I that you were in complete control. You allowed your power to run wild, you allowed your temper to get the best of you." Said the Anti-Monitor with a proud smile.

"It was liberating, wasn't it? The release you gained from unleashing your wrath upon the mortal that took your love from you."

Vosh blinked rapidly to stop his eyes from overflowing. He looked at his hands. He shook his head in refusal. Refusal of acceptance that he was a monster like Mobius.

"Lex Luthor is a danger to us all, just like you. Both of you are consumed with your egos, with forcing your wills upon others and destroying all who stand in your way. We're nothing alike."
