1. When the prodigal son returned,
Copy !req
2. his father saw him
and had compassion,
Copy !req
3. and ran and embraced him,
Copy !req
4. for this, his son,
Copy !req
5. was lost and is found.
Copy !req
6. You are the prodigal son, Tornado,
Copy !req
7. and I rejoice at your return
Copy !req
8. and thank you for making
our little family reunion possible.
Copy !req
9. Now, you must have many questions.
Copy !req
10. No? Oh.
Copy !req
11. How could I forget?
Copy !req
12. Your voicebox is offline.
Copy !req
13. But your eyes and ears
still function perfectly,
Copy !req
14. as does the prodigious mind
I built for you
Copy !req
15. all those years ago.
Copy !req
16. And really, what else matters?
Copy !req
17. Pineapple juice?
Copy !req
18. Ahh. Just what the Doctor ordered.
Copy !req
19. How's the arm doing, Wally?
Copy !req
20. Well, nothing wrong
nachos can't cure.
Copy !req
21. Nachos? Oh!
I'll go get you some.
Copy !req
22. Aah!
Copy !req
23. - Good work, everyone.
Copy !req
24. In fact, it's been
a very productive week.
Copy !req
25. Yeah, for everyone
except kid malingerer.
Copy !req
26. Hey! Arm broken in combat against
the Injustice League here.
Copy !req
27. I've really enjoyed being
Copy !req
28. your, uh, den mother this week.
Copy !req
29. Zatara, one, one.
Copy !req
30. Access granted.
Copy !req
31. Zatanna, Zatara.
A-zero-3.
Copy !req
32. Zatara, one, one.
Copy !req
33. Zatanna, this is the team.
Copy !req
34. Team, my daughter, Zatanna.
Copy !req
35. - Hi! I'm...
- Robin! Ahem.
Copy !req
36. I mean, I'm Robin. Heh.
Copy !req
37. She's M'gann, and that's Wally,
Artemis, Kaldur, and Connor.
Copy !req
38. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Copy !req
39. This is strictly a visit.
Copy !req
40. But I am sorry
we missed the training.
Copy !req
41. It's something from which
Zatanna could benefit.
Copy !req
42. Do the rest of you get the impression
Copy !req
43. we're still on probation with Zatara?
Copy !req
44. Not just Zatara.
Copy !req
45. I mean, why is Marvel
still hanging around?
Copy !req
46. Because we like having him around.
Copy !req
47. You like having him around
Copy !req
48. 'cause he waits on you hand and foot.
Copy !req
49. And your point is?
Copy !req
50. It almost makes one nostalgic
Copy !req
51. for Red Tornado's tenure
as our supervisor.
Copy !req
52. Yeah. At least he trusted us.
Copy !req
53. If you ignore the fact
we shouldn't have trusted him!
Copy !req
54. He was a traitor.
Copy !req
55. That machine nearly got
all of us killed.
Copy !req
56. Are you guys having
a psychic conversation?
Copy !req
57. 'Cause I can't decide
if that's cool or really rude.
Copy !req
58. All right. Fine.
Copy !req
59. We were talking about Tornado.
Copy !req
60. It's been weeks since his attack,
Copy !req
61. and the League hasn't told us
anything.
Copy !req
62. The League is searching for Tornado,
Copy !req
63. as well as the other androids
that invaded the Cave
Copy !req
64. and their creator, T.O. Morrow.
Copy !req
65. Batman's made tracking them down
our highest priority.
Copy !req
66. But you've found none of the above.
Copy !req
67. Not yet,
but Tornado is Justice League.
Copy !req
68. The team is not to pursue this.
Copy !req
69. Why don't you all take Zatanna
on a, uh,
Copy !req
70. a tour of the Cave?
Copy !req
71. Ah. You're giving a tour?
Copy !req
72. Cool!
Copy !req
73. Actually, I was hoping
you'd take wolf outside.
Copy !req
74. He needs the exercise.
We'll join you in a few.
Copy !req
75. Sure, sure. I can do that.
Come on, wolf.
Copy !req
76. What... My nachos!
Copy !req
77. When did you... how did you...
Copy !req
78. We're not really taking
a tour, are we?
Copy !req
79. No. We're hunting down that robot.
Copy !req
80. Yes, we are.
Copy !req
81. Oh, wow.
Out loud and everything.
Copy !req
82. What about new girl?
Copy !req
83. I'm sure she won't tell.
Copy !req
84. I can't tell.
Copy !req
85. Not if you kidnap me.
Copy !req
86. Oh, she's going to fit in great.
Copy !req
87. Fetch.
Copy !req
88. Come on!
Copy !req
89. Fetch.
Copy !req
90. Please?
Copy !req
91. M'gann, the bioship
wasn't authorized for departure.
Copy !req
92. We're kidnapping Zatanna...
Copy !req
93. To show her happy harbor.
Copy !req
94. Be back soon!
Copy !req
95. Roger that. Have fun.
Copy !req
96. I did not give permission for...
Copy !req
97. They're good kids, Giovanni.
Copy !req
98. Trustworthy kids.
Don't worry.
Copy !req
99. Where are we going?
Copy !req
100. Batman is
the world's greatest detective,
Copy !req
101. and he searched for Tornado
and morrow in every logical location.
Copy !req
102. If we're going to do better,
we need an illogical solution.
Copy !req
103. A truly dumb idea.
Copy !req
104. As a matter of fact...
Copy !req
105. Look, Tornado.
Your brother and sister are back online.
Copy !req
106. We'll have you up and running, too.
Copy !req
107. Maybe even turn
your voice box back on,
Copy !req
108. as soon as I'm done copying
and downloading your memory files.
Copy !req
109. In the meantime,
I'll tell you a story.
Copy !req
110. Once upon a time,
Copy !req
111. a brilliant scientist decided
to build his own superhero
Copy !req
112. to infiltrate and destroy
the Justice Society of America.
Copy !req
113. His first creation was...
Copy !req
114. Red Torpedo, hero of the ocean deep,
Copy !req
115. a machine programmed
to think he was a man.
Copy !req
116. Unfortunately,
that programming was crude.
Copy !req
117. Torpedo never quite fit in.
Copy !req
118. Your eldest brother was a failure.
Copy !req
119. But the scientist believed
in his plan
Copy !req
120. and began again.
Copy !req
121. Your sister debuted as firebrand,
Copy !req
122. a much-loved and admired heroine.
Copy !req
123. If only she hadn't been
so darn heroic.
Copy !req
124. Yet our intrepid scientist
would not quit,
Copy !req
125. and this time, the android
would know he was an android.
Copy !req
126. The new approach worked...
Copy !req
127. Red Tornado, the robot hero,
Copy !req
128. was inducted into
the Justice Society.
Copy !req
129. The scientist believed
he had triumphed.
Copy !req
130. But Tornado's original
heroic programming
Copy !req
131. and Pinocchio-like desire
to become more human
Copy !req
132. caused him to betray
his creator, his father.
Copy !req
133. Still,
Copy !req
134. the scientist refuses to give up.
Copy !req
135. Warden Strange owed us a favor
Copy !req
136. for stopping
last month's prison break.
Copy !req
137. He's given us 5 minutes with you.
Copy !req
138. Spill, Ivo. How do we find T.O. Morrow
and his Reds?
Copy !req
139. Now, why in the world
would I know how to find morrow?
Copy !req
140. Because... And here's
a truly dumb idea...
Copy !req
141. You're Morrow's biggest competitor
in the evil android game.
Copy !req
142. Who better to keep track
of what he's up to, and where?
Copy !req
143. Ah. I see your point.
Copy !req
144. So let me rephrase...
Copy !req
145. Why in the world would
I tell you how to find morrow?
Copy !req
146. He knows.
Do what you must.
Copy !req
147. Oh, please.
Copy !req
148. As if I've never faced
a telepath before.
Copy !req
149. Morrow's in a secret underground base
Copy !req
150. beneath Yellowstone National Park,
Copy !req
151. 100 meters South of old faithful.
Copy !req
152. Wait.
What just happened?
Copy !req
153. Download complete.
Copy !req
154. Time for the upload.
Copy !req
155. But first, introductions.
Copy !req
156. Red Tornado,
Red Torpedo, Red Inferno...
Copy !req
157. I like that name
so much better than firebrand...
Copy !req
158. Meet your baby brother...
Copy !req
159. Red Volcano.
Copy !req
160. This Red won't bother
infiltrating the Heroes.
Copy !req
161. He'll simply destroy them,
Copy !req
162. with the help of your memories.
Copy !req
163. Finally, the scientist
has built an android
Copy !req
164. that transcends the need to be human.
Copy !req
165. No more Pinocchios.
Copy !req
166. Hello, father.
Copy !req
167. Son. You're hurting me.
Copy !req
168. Yes, but pain is so human.
Copy !req
169. And per your programming,
Copy !req
170. I've transcended
any concern for human.
Copy !req
171. No more Pinnochios.
Copy !req
172. His son was lost... son was lost...
Copy !req
173. Son was...
Copy !req
174. Did you know father was an android?
Copy !req
175. We're a stick.
Copy !req
176. Father, you were right.
Copy !req
177. Humans are annoying.
Copy !req
178. Black out all external communication.
Copy !req
179. Soon, Canary and Zatara...
Batman, too, I imagine...
Copy !req
180. Will know of our visit
with Professor Ivo.
Copy !req
181. We haven't much time.
Copy !req
182. Look.
Copy !req
183. I'm trying to be all nonchalant here.
Copy !req
184. Why? Be as chalant as you like.
Copy !req
185. I think we're all just trying
to get a handle on your powers.
Copy !req
186. Could you teleport us to Tornado,
Copy !req
187. or Morrow to a cell,
Copy !req
188. or force his bots to surrender?
Copy !req
189. Or create peace on earth
for all time?
Copy !req
190. Zatara couldn't even do all that,
Copy !req
191. and I'm nowhere near
on my dad's level.
Copy !req
192. I need to know a spell cold,
Copy !req
193. or else have time to prep it.
Copy !req
194. Plus, all magic requires energy,
Copy !req
195. which usually has to come
from within.
Copy !req
196. I just can't make
the impossible happen at will.
Copy !req
197. What's our E.T.A.
to Yellowstone?
Copy !req
198. I'm way past ready to stuff
Tornado into a trash compactor.
Copy !req
199. Are you so certain he betrayed us?
Copy !req
200. - Aren't you?
- I am not convinced.
Copy !req
201. And even so,
that makes him but the victim
Copy !req
202. of his creator's programming.
Copy !req
203. Certainly, he deserves
a chance to prove
Copy !req
204. he's more than the weapon
others designed him to be.
Copy !req
205. Listen to me, my brothers, my sister.
Copy !req
206. I have been downloaded
with all your memories.
Copy !req
207. Father's, too.
Copy !req
208. Oh. He left out the bit about
him being an android,
Copy !req
209. but he did reveal his plan,
Copy !req
210. his dream for our destiny.
Copy !req
211. There is a semi-dormant
supervolcano beneath Yellowstone.
Copy !req
212. Father gave me the power
to activate it
Copy !req
213. in 3 stages.
Copy !req
214. The eruption will decimate
the planet,
Copy !req
215. kill millions,
Copy !req
216. and trap the rest under
an impenetrable cloud of ash.
Copy !req
217. While humanity struggles to survive,
Copy !req
218. we 4 will build a Red Army
Copy !req
219. to make this earth a Red Planet.
Copy !req
220. Ivo to Morrow.
Thomas, are you there?
Copy !req
221. I'm here, Anthony.
What do you want?
Copy !req
222. Reluctantly, to warn you.
Copy !req
223. The children have learned
your location.
Copy !req
224. I do not believe they have told
their elders and betters.
Copy !req
225. But they are on their way.
Copy !req
226. Perfect.
Copy !req
227. Stealth mode.
Copy !req
228. I recommend you stay behind.
Copy !req
229. - Is that an order?
- No.
Copy !req
230. You must do as you see fit.
Copy !req
231. Good.
Copy !req
232. Prove yourself a loyal Red, brother.
Copy !req
233. Kill them for me.
Copy !req
234. Ivo was right.
Something's down there.
Copy !req
235. Why, Tornado?
Why are you doing this?
Copy !req
236. Message received.
Copy !req
237. Who cares why?
Nail him!
Copy !req
238. Superboy!
Maneuver 7!
Copy !req
239. Aah!
Copy !req
240. Look out! Aah!
Copy !req
241. That does it, Red.
Copy !req
242. You're not the only spin doctor
around here.
Copy !req
243. Quite a performance, brother,
Copy !req
244. but we both know that's all it was.
Copy !req
245. I have all your memories, Tornado,
Copy !req
246. plus a next-gen processor.
Copy !req
247. I know your next move before you do.
Copy !req
248. Blowing a message into the sand?
Copy !req
249. Zatanna?
Copy !req
250. I'm good.
The Red Tornado's getting away.
Copy !req
251. Is he abandoning us?
Copy !req
252. I don't believe that.
Copy !req
253. You stand no chance
against me, humans.
Copy !req
254. We're not human!
Copy !req
255. Apologies. I suppose
the properly inclusive term is...
Copy !req
256. Meatbags.
Copy !req
257. Tornado's memory files
and my superior processing speed
Copy !req
258. allow me to anticipate
your every move.
Copy !req
259. Tornado never knew my moves.
Copy !req
260. And I bet you've got some good ones.
Copy !req
261. Whoa. Sorry. That may have
come off a little too Wally.
Copy !req
262. I don't mind.
Copy !req
263. - We must stop him.
- Why?
Copy !req
264. Once we believed we lived.
Copy !req
265. Now, there is only
Red Inferno and Red Torpedo.
Copy !req
266. Why should we help save humanity
Copy !req
267. when we are no longer human?
Copy !req
268. The premise of your question
is flawed.
Copy !req
269. You were never human,
but you were heroes.
Copy !req
270. He's activating a stage 2 eruption.
Copy !req
271. It gets to stage 3,
kiss the hemisphere good-bye.
Copy !req
272. Hit him from all sides.
Copy !req
273. - M'gann!
Copy !req
274. I use a scaled-down version when
I want to sneak out of the house.
Copy !req
275. - Nice hit!
- The hit was not mine. Look!
Copy !req
276. - Sister! Brothers!
Copy !req
277. Stop!
Copy !req
278. Father would be so disappointed.
Copy !req
279. Tornado, listen!
We're on the verge of
Copy !req
280. a stage 3 supervolcano eruption.
Copy !req
281. There's no turning back from that.
Copy !req
282. We need to vent pressure, fast.
Copy !req
283. But the ash cloud will bring on
worldwide nuclear winter
Copy !req
284. unless you divert it.
Copy !req
285. Triangulate around
the pressure locus.
Copy !req
286. Right.
There, there, and there.
Copy !req
287. Yes!
Copy !req
288. There.
That should do it.
Copy !req
289. Yes. I can speak again.
Copy !req
290. You were willing to sacrifice
yourself to save the planet.
Copy !req
291. The planet would have survived.
Copy !req
292. It is humanity that was saved...
Copy !req
293. Though not by me.
Copy !req
294. My sister and brother were
the true heroes this day.
Copy !req
295. My point is this... you were
never the mole, never a traitor.
Copy !req
296. No. I left to protect you
from further attack
Copy !req
297. and to find my creator, Morrow.
Copy !req
298. Cool. Souvenir.
Copy !req
299. Reddy, we can rebuild you
better than you were before.
Copy !req
300. I do not believe
I should be repaired.
Copy !req
301. Why'd you volunteer to become
our den mother in the first place?
Copy !req
302. I was the pragmatic choice.
Copy !req
303. I do not require sleep. I have no
secret identity or second life to live.
Copy !req
304. But you do have
advanced A.I. programming
Copy !req
305. designed to learn, adapt, evolve.
Copy !req
306. Hello, M'gann.
You wanted to become more human.
Copy !req
307. And you couldn't do that
with the League.
Copy !req
308. They're stiffs.
Copy !req
309. You're sure not going
to learn emotion from Batman.
Copy !req
310. Trust me.
Copy !req
311. Then the Cave was not
a proving ground only for us,
Copy !req
312. but for you as well.
Copy !req
313. I do not know if
these statements are accurate,
Copy !req
314. but perhaps they are true.
Copy !req
315. And if I understand
the term correctly,
Copy !req
316. I believe I have come to...
Copy !req
317. Care about you all.
Copy !req
318. See? Practically a meatbag already.
Copy !req
319. Which reminds me.
Copy !req
320. I will not hurt him.
Copy !req
321. He was evil, but T.O. Morrow
is still my father.
Copy !req
322. I will care for him.
Copy !req
323. It is the human thing to do.
Copy !req
324. So, good kidnapping?
Copy !req
325. Actually, yeah.
Best ever.
Copy !req
326. Heh.
First of many, I hope.
Copy !req
327. If my dad doesn't ground me for life.
Copy !req
328. She's grounded for life!
Copy !req
329. "They're good kids, Giovanni."
Copy !req
330. "Don't worry, Giovanni."
Copy !req
331. She's never joining this team.
Copy !req
332. Um, are they coming out
to play or what?
Copy !req
