J'onn J'onzz : Father, I haven't been this lost since after I killed Manchester Black. You came to me then. You helped me find myself. I need your help now.
M'yrnn J'onzz : [appearing] J'onn, my son!
J'onn J'onzz : Father. It's good to see you. I-I am... I am so sorry. I know now what I did. It was unforgivable. When I wiped your mind of Malefic... I committed the greatest sin.
M'yrnn J'onzz : No, J'onn. It was I who failed. All you did was ease your father's suffering. I forced your hand. I take full responsibility. But that's not the reason I'm here, is it?
-
M'yrnn J'onzz : Malefic is in National City, and he needs your help.
J'onn J'onzz : My help? If what you say is true, then everyone I love is in danger.
M'yrnn J'onzz : Your brother cannot harm them. He is a prisoner.
J'onn J'onzz : A prisoner? Of whom?
M'yrnn J'onzz : That you must discover on your own.
J'onn J'onzz : Father, you have to help me. How can I find him?
M'yrnn J'onzz : You must make a choice. Banish your brother once and for all... or save his soul. However, there is only one way to reach Malefic. And it requires you to... risk your own death by his hand.
-
J'onn J'onzz : Father, I need your counsel. Malefic came after my family, and history repeated itself. To protect them, I had to send Mal back to the Phantom Zone. I have tried to move on, but it's like I can feel him nearby.
M'yrnn J'onzz : That's because he is nearby.
J'onn J'onzz : What?
M'yrnn J'onzz : Your brother is here.
J'onn J'onzz : You mean here in my mind?
M'yrnn J'onzz : No. I mean he's across town.

M'yrnn J'onzz : The only chance of saving your brother is to let down your psychic shield entirely. Open your mind to him like a flower. Complete vulnerability. Allow him access to your memories and innermost thoughts, so he can see your truth.
J'onn J'onzz : If I bond with Malefic... he-he can choose to poison my mind. How can I make that choice knowing that he will most likely murder me, and kill everyone I love?
M'yrnn J'onzz : Then retrieve the Phantom Zone projector, send him back to isolation.
J'onn J'onzz : And punish him again?
M'yrnn J'onzz : I'm sorry, my son. In my lifetime, I faced this test. Should I attempt to reach Malefic and risk the utter decimation of my people, my family, and myself by his destructive power? Or should I lock him away where he cannot harm others? I made my impossible choice. There is no such thing as right or wrong. There is only peace in one's heart, something I never found. The sins of the father are visited on the son. You must make your own choice, J'onn. Then ask H'ronmeer to guide you to your brother. No matter what you decide, I will love you for it. Just as I loved both you and Malefic... long ago.
