Cast of Characters: J'onn J'onzz, Minoke




J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz is staking out a rather sophisticated group of robbers who use overwhelming force on small independent ATM's. He is telepathically reading their minds as he does but keeps his empathic senses up and then senses a rather odd gap and looks up, spotting Minoke from about a block away. The crooks are near leaving to pull a heist and is this new person a threat or ally or wild card?

The street itself looks perfectly normal.

Minoke has posed:
Minoke goes to use the ATM herself. For an android from out of this world, she has adapted well to the conditions heref - even if she can't quite look normal. She is standing there in front of the ATM, sighing for as usual, the touchscreen wont' respond to her. She gets a stylus out to tap in her number when the robbers come up to the green-skinned woman and yell at her to move. Without even looking, she shakes her head and glances back with glowing green eyes. "It is rude to come up on someone using an automated teller machine. Please stand back."

She turns back towards the machine, when the robbers decide that she doesn't look threatening and try to move her - only to discover that she's basically unmovable. She turns her head, points her fingers back at the thugs, and fire some kind of glowing beam at them, and they all drop to the ground spasming, like they got tazed. "Seriously. I've only been in this city for a year and everyone's getting ruder and ruder," she grouses as she returns to withdrawing forty bucks - there was an object at a local thrift store she wanted to acquire for it seems to be made out of an intersting metal.

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz watches with horror and then amusement at the three men sneak out of the house and down to the nearest convenience store. He'd been reading their minds and knowing that they were planning some master job but ...LITERALLY next to their house? He is worried about Minoke at first until they try to mess with her and is about to change into his Justice League form when she ....shockingly is just fine.

The thieves are indignant at Minoke until she tases them in which case they jerk around particurly comedically with their hair standing up on end.

Minoke has posed:
Minoke just turns to stare at the three. "Hmmmm. Maybe I overreacted." She glances at the three, then shakes her head. "Maybe not." She then reaches to the three, retrieves hte firearms from their persons, as if she knew exactly where they were, touches the barrels which melt into a solid chunk, rendering them inoperable, and drops them back by them, not really caring to handle them any longer. She then blinks. "Oh... I get it. I think they wanted to break into that ATM..." She shakes her head. "What is wrong with people these days? They'd cause this shopkeeper a lot of hassle to fix it." She then gets a cell phone out, and again wtih the stylus, starts to dial 911 - then stops. "Oh. Right. I was told 911 was for emergencies. What was that number again?" she mutters as she starts to look it up on the phone. She looks at one of the two who was further away who was starting to sit up. "Do not move, or I will aim better this time," she orders.

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz flashes a badge to the store keeper on enter, "Detective Jonn Jonez, please call the cops to take care of these people" he smiles and approaches Minoke, "You did quite a job with these three...been trailing them for weeks..." He looks her up and down and says, "And you are miss?" He is sure now, he can't read her thoughts....interesting...but he wont bring that up in front of these three.

Minoke has posed:
Minoke nods. "Oh, how convenient. Hello, Detective Jonez. I was just looking up the non-emergency number. I was using this ATM when these three tried to shove me out of the way. So rude. I stunned them and disabled their weapons. They were probably going to rob this place or something." She then widens her eyes. "Oh, they were bad guys? I mean, rude, armed... doens't surprise me. My name is Minoke."

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz says, "I've been tracking them for weeks actually. I had no idea how stupid their actual plan was...I apparently didnt investigate enough but this is still more than enough evidence to put them away. Pleased to meet you Minoke." Just Minoke? Well, he knew many singular named people. "That was very handy skills with a Tazer. Are you a hero?""

Minoke has posed:
Minoke ponders. "I work in a jewelry store. I like to try to do good things when I can." It can't be helped but notice that Minoke looks a lot like the villain Brainiac. Someone from his homeworld? "And... it wasn't actually a tazer. I can fire beams of electricity. From what I understand, tazers use wires so there'd be probes in them and there isn't here. They will recover soon. No permanent harm at that voltage."

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz consider this for a few moments and then motions with his head,"Do you mind if I take your statement outside?" He does zip tie the three criminals for the patrol officers just to be sure but doesnt want to ask what he must here.

Minoke has posed:
Minoke nods. "Of course," she states. "Present company is... not conductive..." she muses as she heads outside, glancing atthe three bound suspects as she heads outside. She then puts the cellphone back in her pocket as she glances over, waiting for the 'detective' to emerge as well, as she waits on the sidewalk by the soda machine.

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz comes out and then telepathically makes himself invisible as he shifts into his JLA form, quite certain Minoke will not be fooled by the telepathy. He is, however not angry nor does he make assumptions but does take an odd angle, "My name is Jonn Jones, otherwise known as the Martian Manhunter...are you time displaced?"

Minoke has posed:
Minoke widens her eyes as J'onn's shapeshifting changes, and he becomes the hero known as the Martian Manhunter. Indeed, your telepathic 'smoke screen' is ineffective. "I have seen you in various news reports," she states. "Your look is quite distinctive." She has an almost admiring look on her face. "I am not time-displaced. I am, however, far from home. Knowing who you are, you can probably guess as to my origin from my appearance. And you would be correct. But I have no affiliation with the entity known as Brainiac."

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz smiles, "Where I come from, there is another species besides Green Martians called White Martians, and dispite how violent they were to my people, I've recently learned that some of them can be good and kind. If I can avoid assumptions on appearances with a White Martian, the least I can do so is with someone who just happens to look like Brainiac. And when I first appeared on Earth many many people hated and feared me...." he smiles gently.

Minoke has posed:
Minoke nods slowly. "Your acknowledgement is appreciated." She then smies. "I've had a relatively good experience here. I've made some friends, and there's this woman who plays the Wicked Witch of the West in a play who seems to appreciate me." She then sighs softly. "I don't remember everything - I had an accident in space that damaged me - but all I know is that I'm here to study this world, to learn about it. Not quite sure this is the world I'm meant to study, but I'm learning about it."

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz nods and listens to her. "Elispa...El....I can never renemeber the name of that book. Yes, I can see why it might appeal or the actress might sense you out. If your mind was biological, I'd offer psychic surgery to help you recover your memories..." he shrugs, "But if you are only here to study, then I do hope you enjoy your findings." He smiles.

Minoke has posed:
Minoke nods slowly. "As you surmised, I am an artificial life-form. A nanocolony construct. I always wondered if telepathy would actually work on me, for my thought process seems to be similar to an organic's, but..." She shrugs. "What I would need is someone who knows how to repair Coluan technology. My ship is disabled as I am, moreso. Oh, by the way, tell Superman I said hi. ... I guess I am a hero. I saved his life once."

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz says, "I..." thats a lot of different things but he smiles and says the obvious first, "Kryptonians have fabulous biological memories, better than Martians; if he knows you saved his life, I am entirely sure he remembers it....but I will mention you the next time we meet." He considers, "Coluan technology is considerably beyond Martian...but have you met with Stark, Kord or Richards? If anyone could figure it out, it would be them....."

Minoke has posed:
Minoke sighs softly. "It's incredibly difficult to get an appointment to see Mister Stark. I mean, I met him and his delicious-looking suit when I first arrived - I kinda crashed near this city, fell out of the sky. My ship is currently in the starport but... nobody is bothering it. It's just a hunk of metal at this point. The drive system is beyond salvaging." She then blinks. "I do not know the other names."

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz says, "Hmmm...." he considers this and takes out a small card, "Call me later. I know people. If you are ready to take a chance on unlocking your memories; I will get you a meeting with someone that can tell you what is wrong at the least."

Minoke has posed:
Minoke nods slowly. "I have other issues that would be rectified if my heart-core could be repaired. I have trouble shapeshifting - I can really only set to this preprogrammed form." She sighs softly. "Your assistance would be greatly appreciated."

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz smiles, "Of course. Its the least I can do for someone who has done a service taking care of my case." He smiled.

Minoke has posed:
Minoke murmurs, "Tell me about those other two people you said? I'd like to know who could possibly be able to work with me - I have to be cautious for it's literally like asking someone to do brain and heart surgery. At the same time."

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz says, "Reed Richards is argubly the smartest man I ever met, and I've met a lot of people. He's the head of the Fantastic Four. Ted Kord is the head of Kord industries and well known as a mentor to young heroes such as yourself. There are over a dozen others who might be able to help; Mr. Terrific, Hank Pym....I have a rather good rolodex for just the kind of people you need and who I dont know will know someone else."

Minoke has posed:
Minoke nods. "Their contact info would be useful. If you could text me those numbers, that'd be helpful. Cellphones are a hassle to use - touch screens don't work well with me. They tend to either short out or not respond so I always have to use a stylus, and there's just _way_ too much electromagnetic noise for me to be able to use myself as a cellphone. If I tune it in, it gives me a headache..." She frowns. "Probably like if you tried to open your mind to the whole city?" she asks, trying to make a joke.

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
J'onn J'onzz nods and makes a note to do just that. "That is definitely obnoxious for you, they are hadny devices and hopefully they cna fix that. And I have had my mind unfortunately involvuiarly opened before less than good
