John Jones • Martian Manhunter
- Clark Kent: She's not wrong, you know? Waller.
- John Jones: How so?
- Clark Kent: When I saw the future, Zod and his people had already started World War III, and we weren't winning. Tess was right about being prepared. Because as much I want to believe that I've stopped that day from happening, it still might.
- John Jones: You don't have to join her.
- Clark Kent: No. But, like she said, eventually I'll have to choose sides.
- John Jones: You can't. You are here for something far greater, Clark. You will be the ambassador who bridges all the sides together.
- Amanda Waller: I was hoping I would get the chance to enlist you. But I have the feeling somebody already has. Somebody with a very high level of Intel. You came for what's in there, didn't you?
- John Jones: That doesn't belong to you.
- Amanda Waller: That blood traveled light-years to get here. And it's foreshadowing a threat we will not take lightly.
- John Jones: Your preparations for war are unnecessary. You're simply reacting out of fear.
- Amanda Waller: Fear? Fear is what prompts us to protect ourselves. And studying fear gives us insight to others' phobias. A police detective who won't go near fire. Makes it hard to protect and serve, doesn't it?
- John Jones: [Whooshing] John Jones: Your identity's safe, for now.
- Clark Kent: Clark Kent: She's not wrong, you know? Waller.
- John Jones: John Jones: How so?
- Clark Kent: Clark Kent: When I saw the future, Zod and his people had already started World War III, and we weren't winning. She was right about being prepared. Because, as much as I want to believe that I've stopped that day from happening, it still might.

- John Jones: John Jones: You can't.
- [sighs]
- John Jones: You are here for something far greater, Clark. You will be the ambassador who bridges all the sides together.
- Clark Kent: Clark Kent: What were you doing, John? Why not include the rest of us?
- John Jones: John Jones: I would have told the team what was going on. But I wanted you and the rest of them to stay off Checkmate's radar.
- Clark Kent: Clark Kent: But you're not in this alone. Who are you working for?
- John Jones: John Jones: Let's just say that... there are more players on the board than you think. And when it comes to choosing sides, things aren't always black and white.
- Amanda Waller: Get me out of here. The prisoner over powered me.
- Checkmate Guard: [turning the cell of flames off] No alarms have been reported yet.
- [checking a GPS tracker]
- Checkmate Guard: There's no sign of Jones.
- John Jones: [shifting back to his regular form] That's because I'm still here.
- Edward Lott: What do you want?
- John Jones: I'm afraid you've made a critical error. I believe this is yours.
- [John shows him the radio earpiece; Lott takes out his gun, but John stops the bullet with his hand]
- John Jones: Tell me the location of Checkmate's headquarters. The place you call the Castle.
- Edward Lott: Who are you working for?
- John Jones: Someone who will not hestitate to expose your double life.
- John Jones: Clark, what are you doing here?
- Clark Kent: Looking for any sign of Oliver. You didn't know he was missing? He was here on patrol when Watchtower lost contact.
- John Jones: I'm here on police business. But I'll keep an eye out.
- Clark Kent: It'll be faster if we work together. Unless you've already found something.
- John Jones: You need to trust me, Clark.
- Clark Kent: You first.
- [with his x-ray vision, he sees something in John's pocket]
- Clark Kent: What do you know, John?
- John Jones: You shouldn't have done that, Clark.
- John Jones: I would have told the team what was going on. But I wanted you and the rest of them to stay off Checkmate's radar.
- Clark Kent: But you're not in this alone. Who are you working for?
- John Jones: Let's just say that... there are more players on the board than you think. And when it comes to choosing sides, things aren't always black and white.
