Chapter 280 by D!$N3Y D!$N3Y

What does J'onn see in there?

Memories, Desires and Fears (oh, my).

J'onn appeared upon the landscape of your mind, seeing mostly the trees of a dark forest. And a dirt path leading into the blackness ahead, and nowhere else... He walked along the path, looking at the barren oak trees around him. No sooner than he entered the forest, a familiar voice seemed to be carried on a strange wind. 'Yes, Ivy. Give in. It feels good to follow my commands.'

"Shadow?" J'onn called towards the darkness. "Can you hear me?" The Martian ventured on, listening to one voice after another in between pauses.

'I need to figure out about you and me.' He recognized Vixen's voice and could feel the cold whip at him; he could sense your guilt.

"Shadow. We all make mistakes. I understand, for I nearly made a mistake to see my loved ones." When he heard Batman, the ground opened before him into a narrow gorge; Shad's shame for getting caught up in Huntress's defilement was apparent there and then.

'Whether it's recognizing your limits, or being more active to save a teammate in danger, you need to get your act together.'

"Shadow, we are all mortal," J'onn reasoned. "We have flaws, but that is to be expected. Embrace all that creates your character." He continued on and soon, he not only recognized Stewart's voice this time, but also his shadowy form towering over the Martian. Complete with the green light of the Lantern's ring.

'I'd like to knock your lights out for what you did...' Your anxiety came in the form of storm clouds behind the figure, rumbling with soft, ominous thunder.

"Shadow, do not make light of your decision." J'onn quietly felt as if were getting closer to the heart of the matter, as it were. "Underneath his understandable anger, John respects your boldness to confess what you did to the woman he was seeing." As he traveled on, he was getting... weaker? Perhaps because it was getting warmer - and warmer - the further he went. There was a huge wall of orange flames dancing before him; J'onn was easily able to deduce this was the heat of your frustration. It showed a clear picture of Wildcat looming over him, over you at the time.

'Only reason you're a hero is 'cause of those robots in your blood.'

"Lies!" He heard your voice now, spouting a likeness of your face: eyes tightly shut, head shaking roughly back and forth. But then it stared down at J'onn. "What do you want?"

"Shadow. I've come to free you."

Will the Manhunter get past this easily?
