Aquaman: But you still haven't been. Your confrontation with Bruce demonstrates that. They still don't love you.

Aquaman comes close to Superman and places his hand on Superman's shoulder.

Aquaman: Kal, I know that Bruce has been your friend for a long time, but when he needed simple companionship, he didn't come to you.

Aquaman: He went to someone else.

Superman looks hurt and confused.

Aquaman: It wasn't a mistake. You're right. Bruce is only human and he will never be able to do what you can.

Superman: What? Okay, wait, what are you saying?

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): He's reminding you that you aren't human.

Superman: You think I don't know that? You think I haven't worked hard to be accepted here?

Superman: What did I say?

Aquaman: You reminded Mr. Wayne that he was only human. That there were things he would be never be able to do.

Superman: Yes, I did. It was a mistake, and how do you know what I said?

Aquaman: We were watching you, and it wasn't a mistake.

Superman: What?

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): Please take the time to listen to him, Kal.

Martian Manhunter changes back to his Martian form.

Superman (puzzled): I thought Mr. Terrific and Red Tornado were on watch duty today.

Aquaman: We relieved them. I wanted a chance to talk to you.

Superman: What about?

Aquaman: About something you said today.

Martian Manhunter should now look like he did in New Frontier.

Martian Manhunter (shouting): Would you prefer this? Do you know why I go around looking like this? Do you?

Martian Manhunter: I do it because if people are laughing at you, they aren't scared of you!

Superman (shocked, like a deer in headlights): I'm sorry. Its...its just been a long day. I'm sorry, J'onn.

Aquaman walks in.

Scene: Superman is walking into the observation deck. J'onn J'onnz is there in all his Martian glory (like the pre-human disguise Martian in New Frontier).

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): Hello Kal. I saw you come in. Are you well?

Superman: I'm fine, thank you.

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): You are bleeding.

Superman: I'm fine. Look...could you talk out loud, please?

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): I apologize. Speaking is uncomfortable for me. Would you rather I change my appearance too?
