Time seemed to stand still within the battle of minds. J'onn was only slightly aware of the sleigh landing beneath them. But right before the end, the Toyman pushed back, a wicked grin crossing his face. [color=violet][i]"Yes, my green friend. I'm Winslow Schott. The man who killed the world's most powerful hero. When I'm free you'll be next."[/i][/color] Then he fell unconscious.

J'onn then slowly stood up, looking at his hands as he came back to awareness to himself. What had he done? But then he shook himself out of his thoughts and rummaged within the sleigh for rope to restrain Mr. Schott. Even if he should make good on his threat, it would not be for quite some time. The death of Thor along with impersonating Santa for murder would only add to his sentence. 

[color=17dbcc]"Did anyone get the license plate of that sleigh?"[/color]

That stopped J'onn in his tracks as he suddenly looked up to see Thor, getting up? But no, he had been still. He had been dead! Hadn't he? Yet there Thor was, talking with the newcomer and hugging Starfire. With a quick brush, J'onn felt Thor's mind, enough that Thor could barely sense it, before retreating back. Thor really was alive.

Then Thor turned towards him. [color=17dbcc]"Thank you for helping us out. What do we call you? I don't like calling you the green man in my head."[/color]

[color=F5276C]"I concur,"[/color] Starfire added with a friendly smile, [color=F5276C]"Your assistance is much appreciated. It would be good to know whom we may credit with this success. I am Starfire, and my companions are Thor and Zach."[/color]

J'onn swallowed, hesitantly. [color=green]"I am truly not opposed to being seen as the 'Green Man'. It is a rather appropriate descriptor after all. I am simply glad to have been of assistance before and now." [/color] 

Then the newcomer, Zach, chimed in. [color=darkviolet]“Soooo… What? Are we like a team now? Do we high-five? Call the authorities? Get hot chocolate? I feel like all three are appropriate.”[/color] 

J'onn softly chuckled. [color=green]"I suppose we could consider ourselves a team..."[/color] Then he started tying Schott's wrist. [color=green]"I would propose that we turn him into the proper authorities then seek out where he is keeping the true Santa Claus. Then perhaps afterwards, we could take part in high-fives and hot chocolate." [/color]
