Prompt Post - Part Ten

I am REALLY, REALLY SORRY about taking so long, guys, and about not being around much recently. I've been busier than I have in a while, and it just kept slipping my mind between uni applications and volunteering and all sorts- for some reason I thought we were much further off a new post.

If there is anything I haven't responded to, as of now, I'm ( Read more... )

When J'onn Met M'gann anonymous April 2 2012, 20:01:01 UTC
J'onn J'onzz is understandably distressed when he realizes, halfway between Mars and Earth, that a White managed to sneak aboard his bio-ship. But when he gets to interrogating her, J'onn discovers this particular stowaway isn't anything like what he expected from the warlike race that long ago left their mutual homeworld of Mars an airless desert waste.

J’onn’s first clue of a stowaway was not a subtle one. It came when the ship was two days out from Mars, and arrived with a loud crash from the cargo hold. Followed fast by a stream of ohnonotgoodnotgood, flooding the silence immediately afterwards. The thought was sharp with panic before suddenly cutting off when he turned his attention to it, and whoever was thinking it realized that he was listening in ( ... )

He expected her to drop the disguise, then. Perhaps throw some of those crates at him if her mind was strong enough; close with him hand to hand if it wasn’t. What J’onn didn’t expect was for her to shrink back, eyes wide as he picked out that thread of not right in her thoughts. The only resistance he did get was when she pushed mentally against him, desperate to get him out of her head and away from that secret…Before her thoughts suddenly went slack as the fight went out of her. She didn’t quite crumble to the floor, but her shoulders went slack along with her thoughts, and a crushing feeling of disappointment and terror fell down around him-

He blinked, as he felt that again. It was a solid, palpable force of fear, not anger. And the way she kept clasping her hands in a timid, uncertain gesture was far from anything that could be seen as aggressive. It didn’t fit the usual image of a warlike white.

“I don’t-“ Her thoughts scurried around under his focus, unorganized. She watched him, still wide eyed and tense, but more ( ... )

“You probably would have found me before then, anyway.” He didn’t think that thought was meant for him either, but J’onn still gave a nod. “It should be time to determine why you wish to go to Earth.”

‘And if you should be allowed on Earth.’ J’onn left that thought private. “But first, I believe learning who you are takes precedence.”

“You want to hear about me?” The blink and double take the white martian gave him that time was nothing short of astonished. And a confused, mental nudge against his mind to make sure she had heard him correctly. Not that her expression changed all that much when he gave a quiet affirmative; still surprised, and still a touch hesitant.

“I-I mean, alright. My name is M’gann.” She offered, watching him. “And…I am…” Her eyes dropped away, focusing back on the floor as her mouth tried, and failed, to work.

“…Not green. Like you saw.” She finally managed, far, far quieter then how she’d started.

“You may switch to telepathy, if that would help.” He found himself offering.

“It wouldn’t-“ ( ... )

And not what she was running from; what she was hopefully leaving far, far behind. M’gann curled up, settling deeper into the bed as she tried to imagine blue instead of red.

-o-o-o-

“H’ara, alonz…?” A soft voice cut into his trance, and J’onn lifted his head up to glance around. The stowaway was curled up on the makeshift bed in a tight ball, muttering to herself. Her sides rose and fell in a way that suggested deep sleep…Although perhaps not a peaceful rest, judging by how her eyes were screwed tightly shut.

She’d fallen half-asleep by the time he got back from managing the mess in the cargo hold; it hadn’t been as bad as J’onn had originally thought, with most of the boxes already pushed aside or back into place by the time he found the stowaway. Her mind appeared sharp, at least when it came to telekinesis-

“Alone?” And decent at telepathy. The thought itself was small, almost pitiful in the way it was whispered, and the girl didn’t seem to even know it had slipped from her mind to his; but it also had a strong force ( ... )

The console in front of him gave a soft chime, telling J’onn that the ship had entered into the third leg of the journey. He glanced down at it, and those images evaporated from his mind. The link flickered for a moment, but remained…As did that sharp feeling still trying to bite at his chest. She wanted to belong. This white martian girl-

“She has a name.” J’onn reminded himself. And she didn’t dream of violence or bloodshed. Not that what he sensed was much better…Or was something he would willingly wish upon her.

He sent a slight, whisper of a thought into her dreams, as soft as the hand he put on her head to smooth out her hair. “M’gann.” He felt her stir for a moment, before going still. “Be calm; you are safe here.” J’onn rested his hand on her forehead, and felt her slowly relax, as her breathing evened out.

Her thoughts settled into something calmer; no images, just a deep, dreamless state. But it helped, and she settled into a calmer position with another mumble; this time not sounding tense, or worried.

M’gann let the image slowly bleed back out, into the background hum of the ship as her eyes refocused on the cabin.

“All of was wonderful to just watch.” J’onn watched her carefully, and she got the impression that he was still absorbing the last traces of that image; and somehow that he was trying to integrate it with something. What, she couldn’t guess before he spoke.

“…And it also lacked any feeling of isolation?” Her thoughts snapped back into that tight, confused ball from before as she stared at him.

“You dream vividly.” J’onn offered that as an explanation, before blinking at the pink color spreading across her cheeks. Not quite staring, but clearly noticing the change of color and puzzling over it. Blushing wasn’t a gesture that often happened on Mars, but it felt right in this form. Better then projecting all that embarrassment she could feel clawing at the back of her head ( ... )

Her dreams had lost that almost feverish pitch to them, save for a rusty and harsh red tinge at the very edges of her thoughts; nightmares that might have seeped into her subconscious at another time, if she had been under more stress ( ... )

Oh... that's amazing. I love both their thought processes here. J'onn's notions of what a White should be contrasting with what M'gann is, and M'gann's exceptionally clear idea of Earth. Your Martian voice is so clear and defined. You've put thought into this, and it shows.

Have you written any other M'gann fills? The writing style and Martian voices are familiar. I apologize if I'm wrong. Just asking.

Wow, thank you! This is my first time ever writing for J'onn; I ended up going back and re-watching both the clips of him in YJ, and some of the old episodes of Justice League to get an idea for his voice. Glad that it's been working so far!

I've written one other M'gann fill for this meme so far. (And keeping my fingers crossed that inspiration will stay with me, so I can fill more!) I'm also planning to de-anon for the last part, since I think that's an okay thing to do.

Re: writer!anon anonymous April 22 2012, 18:30:31 UTC
*tentatively* Was it Whiteout?

Again, I apologize if I'm wrong, I'm just going by the fact that the Martian voices and writing styles are similar.

Oh, you caught me! The style and -o-o-o- breaks are dead give aways, aren't they?
