Name: J'onn J'onzz<br/>Location: Gothcorp (Nora's Mind)<br/>Tags: Nora Fries<br/><br/>"Alarm clocks..."  J'onn said slowly, smiling as if they were a novel concept.  "I'm familiar with the concept, though I haven't seen one yet during my time on Earth."  J'onn followed Nora's gaze to the Dream-Victor.  J'onn didn't see how that Victor could become the terrifying man in reality, but then, as J'onn was very much aware, Nora's view of Victor could be colored by her love for him.<br/><br/>"Not that I'm aware of.  He's taken numerous hostages and has made direct threats against the lives of the people back in reality.  Boyle, in particular, is in the greatest danger."  J'onn said in response to Nora's question, noting how she didn't seem at all worried.  Did she believe that Victor would not harm anyone?  Even the nicest of people can become bitter when love is involved, and J'onn had already felt Victor's love for Nora.<br/><br/>J'onn watched as Nora's memories changed the dreamscape, turning it into a scene where Victor had to save the life of another.  J'onn, after reminding himself of Human limitations, noted that it was particularly brave of him.  Cold, especially that of sub-zero water, was a significantly greater threat to humans than Martians.<br/><br/>J'onn continued to listen as Nora talked about her beloved Victor.  More and more his heartstrings were being tugged as memories of his own wife rushed back at him.  He recalled that he was much the same as Victor when he was younger, and his wife had once said something similar to him, shortly before he became a Manhunter, a real hero for his people.<br/><br/>"I...understand how you feel, Nora Fries.  I'll make sure he knows.  Thank you for your time...and...I'm sorry for what has happened to you.  I'll make sure Victor does the right thing, and I'll make sure he resumes his work on MacGregor's Syndrome so that you can be with him again one day."<br/><br/>J'onn would turn to Nora, bowing gratefully to her as he slowly withdrew his mind from hers.  He felt bad to leave her, letting her return to her icy dream, but he had a duty to do.<br/><hr/><br/>"Dr. Fries."  J'onn would call out, his voice loud and clear.  He'd stopped his mental assault about halfway through his discussion with Nora, which had only taken a couple dozen seconds of real time.  "I am the Martian Manhunter, and I just finished speaking to your wife.  You need to stop."
