Copy !req
2. secretary tseng and I
are so glad.
Copy !req
3. You accepted
the reach's invitation.
Copy !req
4. To meet, Captain.
Copy !req
5. The justice league
always supports peaceful diplomacy.
Copy !req
6. And should diplomacy fail,
Copy !req
7. you have your wanted
meta powers to enforce peace.
Copy !req
8. Not how we operate, ambassador.
Copy !req
9. But we can discuss that
in private.
Copy !req
10. If you insist.
Copy !req
11. Private meeting?
Copy !req
12. Is this an April
fools' day prank,
Copy !req
13. or just another example
of the league.
Copy !req
14. Hiding their true agenda
from you,
Copy !req
15. the people?
Copy !req
16. Don't know why you're
surprised, folks.
Copy !req
17. After all, most of
your heroes wear masks.
Copy !req
18. Oh. Ah, sorry.
Copy !req
19. Thank you, Ty.
Copy !req
20. Virgil.
Copy !req
21. Ty!
Copy !req
22. Hold, jaime reyes.
Copy !req
23. The Ty longshadow does not
know us in this form.
Copy !req
24. Time to stretch!
Copy !req
25. Yep, got to keep limber.
Copy !req
26. Virgil, I know you've
been through a lot,
Copy !req
27. but I'd still like to ask you a few
questions about your abduction.
Copy !req
28. Well, here's one.
Copy !req
29. Why am I on camera?
Copy !req
30. To make sure I remember
what you say.
Copy !req
31. I'm speaking to everyone,
Copy !req
32. to provide counsel,
Copy !req
33. but also to find out
exactly what happened.
Copy !req
34. And hopefully gain some insight.
Copy !req
35. As to why the reach chose you.
Copy !req
36. I don't know why they chose me,
Copy !req
37. but I know they wanted
to break me.
Copy !req
38. Why do you say that?
Copy !req
39. The tests.
Copy !req
40. They started out small,
Copy !req
41. little static shocks,
Copy !req
42. but they kept upping the juice.
Copy !req
43. Till it felt like I was
being eaten by lightning.
Copy !req
44. Still, I was one of
the lucky ones.
Copy !req
45. The alien creepazoids
didn't seem to like.
Copy !req
46. The results they got
from some of the other kids.
Copy !req
47. Kids I never saw again.
Copy !req
48. Look, when can I go home?
Copy !req
49. My family's probably
worried sick.
Copy !req
50. It won't be long.
Copy !req
51. For now, if you'd wait
in the hall.
Copy !req
52. Nice.
Copy !req
53. Perfect cover for our new digs.
Copy !req
54. On the outside, I mean,
it's downright nasty.
Copy !req
55. And it's nasty
on the inside, too.
Copy !req
56. April fools, right?
Copy !req
57. I mean, this is
the team's new hq?
Copy !req
58. Where's the secret trapdoor
to our real base?
Copy !req
59. No secret trapdoor.
Copy !req
60. And it's not our new hq.
Copy !req
61. For the time being,
we'll operate.
Copy !req
62. Out of the basement
of the hall of justice.
Copy !req
63. This is just a place to crash.
Copy !req
64. A very temporary stop gap
place to crash.
Copy !req
65. For those of you who were
actually living at the cave.
Copy !req
66. It's fine.
Copy !req
67. I'm sorry about
the lack of privacy, m'gann.
Copy !req
68. This curtain will
have to do for now,
Copy !req
69. but we'll figure
something else out.
Copy !req
70. Oh, no. No way.
Copy !req
71. I am out.
Copy !req
72. I'm heading for the hall.
Copy !req
73. Where I'm making other
arrangements, my friend.
Copy !req
74. You two should go along.
Copy !req
75. Pick up the boxes of your stuff.
Copy !req
76. We salvaged from mount justice.
Copy !req
77. It might help this warehouse
feel more like a warehome.
Copy !req
78. I'm telling you,
it's a pit, beautiful.
Copy !req
79. So I figured I'd just
crash with you.
Copy !req
80. Uh, now?
Copy !req
81. I mean, I'd love that,
Copy !req
82. but I'm studying all the time,
Copy !req
83. and, you know, know
how small my place is.
Copy !req
84. I'm not even sure I'm
allowed to have crashers.
Copy !req
85. Greetings and salutationisms,
earth champions.
Copy !req
86. I am I-Ron, major domo
to the great master.
Copy !req
87. And you are my prisoners.
Copy !req
88. This is plastic man's
April fools joke, isn't it?
Copy !req
89. Ok, plas, you got us.
Copy !req
90. No, I have you.
Copy !req
91. Though not for myself,
of course.
Copy !req
92. Rather, I hold you here
at the behest of my master,
Copy !req
93. who seeks to prove himself against
earth's greatest warriors.
Copy !req
94. Ohh!
Copy !req
95. Let the cage match begin.
Copy !req
96. No fooling.
Copy !req
97. Magic user, master.
Copy !req
98. Nah, uh-uh.
Magicism is cheating.
Copy !req
99. Master's more
the hands-on type.
Copy !req
100. Allow me to introduce
my master...
Copy !req
101. The warlord despero,
Copy !req
102. gladiatorial champion
of 92 star systems.
Copy !req
103. Working on 93 now.
Copy !req
104. He has come to this
backwater planet.
Copy !req
105. Seeking a challenge
to prove his superiority.
Copy !req
106. To all life forms.
Copy !req
107. It's quite the complimentism.
You really should feel honored.
Copy !req
108. Oh, I am.
Copy !req
109. Here, let me show him.
Copy !req
110. Uhh!
Copy !req
111. Ahh!
Copy !req
112. He needs backup.
Copy !req
113. Uh...
Copy !req
114. The force field around
the hall is blocking all com.
Copy !req
115. Zeta tube's down, too.
Copy !req
116. We're on our own.
Copy !req
117. Uhh!
Copy !req
118. Ahh!
Copy !req
119. Check on zatanna.
Copy !req
120. Thin head's mine.
Copy !req
121. Zatanna?
Copy !req
122. Wake up.
Copy !req
123. Zatanna!
Copy !req
124. Why do they always
make me do this?
Copy !req
125. Ok. Then let's try
getting help.
Copy !req
126. Think I'm losing my touch.
Copy !req
127. Our people appreciate the
reach's openness, ambassador.
Copy !req
128. We believe there should
be no secrets among allies.
Copy !req
129. Odd, since the reach
spent so much time on earth.
Copy !req
130. Before making
their presence known.
Copy !req
131. We did spend
a brief period observing.
Copy !req
132. Out of concern the league
might attack us on sight.
Copy !req
133. After all, you are wanted
criminals throughout the galaxy.
Copy !req
134. Wanted criminals?
Copy !req
135. It's complicated.
Copy !req
136. And I suppose it was
also complicated.
Copy !req
137. When you targeted my ship
with your young covert ops team?
Copy !req
138. That's not what happened
and you know it.
Copy !req
139. Are you saying you don't have.
Copy !req
140. Young covert operatives,
Captain?
Copy !req
141. Because I know from personal
experience that you do.
Copy !req
142. The reach had abducted
our people.
Copy !req
143. Many people, in fact.
Copy !req
144. Now he confuses us
with the kroloteans.
Copy !req
145. I suppose all aliens
look alike to him.
Copy !req
146. These are serious
accusations, Captain.
Copy !req
147. I assume you have
evidence, witnesses.
Copy !req
148. Yes, Captain, witnesses.
Copy !req
149. Perhaps some who don't number
among your teen proteges.
Copy !req
150. Or young impressionable fans.
Copy !req
151. Captain atom.
Copy !req
152. What kind of situation
at the hall?
Copy !req
153. Uhh!
Copy !req
154. Hmm. Not an impressive showing
for you earthlings thus far.
Copy !req
155. Big ugly's wiping the floor
with our heavy hitters.
Copy !req
156. I tried stinging him,
but he didn't even feel it.
Copy !req
157. Miss martian, you have to
do something.
Copy !req
158. Uhh!
Copy !req
159. Come on, miss m.
Copy !req
160. Brain blast him or something.
Copy !req
161. No.
Copy !req
162. Ohh!
Copy !req
163. Uhh! Uhh!
Copy !req
164. Ok, you got stuff,
I'll admit it.
Copy !req
165. But I've still got one last
trick up my sleeve.
Copy !req
166. Shazaam!
Copy !req
167. Oh, man, I really
thought that would work.
Copy !req
168. Flagrant foulism!
Copy !req
169. My master has no interest
in fighting a child.
Copy !req
170. Um, yes, master.
Copy !req
171. You will require
a new opponent.
Copy !req
172. A-ha!
Copy !req
173. This one wears the symbolism
of superman,
Copy !req
174. one of earth's
mightiest champions.
Copy !req
175. Lagoon boy.
Copy !req
176. Aah!
Copy !req
177. What'd you tell her, ese?
Copy !req
178. About you betraying mankind and
causing the reach apocalypse?
Copy !req
179. Heh heh. Nada, amigo.
Copy !req
180. See, I have no idea
what actually turns you.
Copy !req
181. For all we know,
the league finding out.
Copy !req
182. Could be the very thing
that makes it happen,
Copy !req
183. so I say we say nothing
to no one.
Copy !req
184. This is good.
Copy !req
185. Now, kill him so he
can not change his mind.
Copy !req
186. - Keep quiet.
- Exactly.
Copy !req
187. Stick with me, blue. I'll keep
you from feeling the mode.
Copy !req
188. Grr!
Copy !req
189. Uhh!
Copy !req
190. Do you earthlings
truly have no concept.
Copy !req
191. Of honorable single combat?
Copy !req
192. Do not follow, earth females.
Copy !req
193. Do not interfere.
Copy !req
194. It is poor sportism.
Copy !req
195. Uhh!
Copy !req
196. Ohh!
Copy !req
197. Take his head, master.
Copy !req
198. It will make
an excellent trophy.
Copy !req
199. M'gann, now or never.
Copy !req
200. Murderer!
Copy !req
201. Aah!
Copy !req
202. No.
Copy !req
203. M'gann, what have you done?
Copy !req
204. I can't.
Copy !req
205. Did I get your attention?
Copy !req
206. Master, they have no honor.
Copy !req
207. It is time they pay in blood.
Copy !req
208. There, master.
Start there.
Copy !req
209. Enough!
Copy !req
210. You want earth's
champion, you found him.
Copy !req
211. Your scarab.
We all had assumed.
Copy !req
212. It was an invention
of the previous blue beetle,
Copy !req
213. but now it seems clear
the reach created it.
Copy !req
214. Uh, yeah, that's clear.
Copy !req
215. There is no reason to believe
the impulse's predictions.
Copy !req
216. Perpetuating concern
would be a strategic error,
Copy !req
217. putting us at risk
of persecution or worse.
Copy !req
218. Yeah.
I mean, it's very clear.
Copy !req
219. The reach tried to use
my scarab to control me,
Copy !req
220. but it wouldn't work for them.
Copy !req
221. Their scientist said
the only way to reboot it.
Copy !req
222. Was to kill me.
Copy !req
223. So the reach created it,
but they can't control it.
Copy !req
224. Jaime, that may make you
our best weapon against them.
Copy !req
225. Yeah. Something like that.
Copy !req
226. Your fight is with me, alien.
Copy !req
227. I am earth's guardian.
Copy !req
228. Its greatest champion.
Copy !req
229. Its secret champion.
Copy !req
230. He is not listed in
the krolotean database, master,
Copy !req
231. but their records
may be incomplete.
Copy !req
232. Miss martian, take
the others and leave.
Copy !req
233. This is my fight alone.
Copy !req
234. Mal, what are you doing?
Copy !req
235. Keeping ugly busy,
Copy !req
236. at least until you
and superboy get a better idea.
Copy !req
237. As you command, guardian.
Copy !req
238. Did you see how
she bowed to him?
Copy !req
239. This guardian must be
earth's true champion.
Copy !req
240. Finally, master,
Copy !req
241. a battle worthy
of your prowess.
Copy !req
242. What happened?
Where's mal?
Copy !req
243. About to play the most important
game of keep away in my life.
Copy !req
244. So how about you guys
figure out a plan "b."
Copy !req
245. Fast.
Copy !req
246. All right, freak.
Copy !req
247. I could incinerate you
with a look,
Copy !req
248. but you hurt my friends,
Copy !req
249. so I'm gonna teach you
a lesson instead!
Copy !req
250. Use cautionism, master.
Copy !req
251. You don't know
this one's abilities.
Copy !req
252. Strength of the earth
and power of all mankind,
Copy !req
253. I summon you.
Copy !req
254. Well, I'm waiting.
Copy !req
255. Give me your best shot.
Copy !req
256. Thank you, black canary.
Copy !req
257. How could you leave mal
there alone?
Copy !req
258. Get your martian mind
in the game.
Copy !req
259. Nothing I've thrown
at the alien telekinetically.
Copy !req
260. Has had any effect.
Copy !req
261. And I can't attack him
psychically.
Copy !req
262. I just can't.
Copy !req
263. Then don't.
Copy !req
264. But do something.
Copy !req
265. You are going to reimburse us
for damages, right?
Copy !req
266. Ahh!
Copy !req
267. Come on, chatterbox.
Copy !req
268. You gonna show me
something or not?
Copy !req
269. Uh, how we coming on
that plan "b"?
Copy !req
270. Coming right up.
Copy !req
271. Zatanna, Billy, Karen,
can you hear me?
Copy !req
272. It feels like there are
blindfolds on your brains,
Copy !req
273. and you need to help me
remove them.
Copy !req
274. Now!
Copy !req
275. Master, he has no powers.
Copy !req
276. This so-called champion
is merely another distraction.
Copy !req
277. Neutralize him, then
take the other's head.
Copy !req
278. Superboy, I've used
m'gann's link to possess mal.
Copy !req
279. And turn the alien's power
back on himself,
Copy !req
280. but I don't know
how long it will last.
Copy !req
281. Long enough.
Copy !req
282. Cheaters!
Copy !req
283. Sneaks! Frauds!
Copy !req
284. You will all suffer
for your crimes.
Copy !req
285. Let's try this again.
Copy !req
286. Shazaam!
Copy !req
287. Poor sportism!
Poor sportism!
Copy !req
288. Poor sportism.
Copy !req
289. Uhoh.
Copy !req
290. The others, are they...
Copy !req
291. I can't believe that guy
medusa'd me.
Copy !req
292. Uh, why you dressed like that?
Copy !req
293. Ok, together.
Copy !req
294. My spells aren't working,
either.
Copy !req
295. We could try digging
our way out.
Copy !req
296. Perhaps I might
be of some help.
Copy !req
297. There.
Copy !req
298. Problem solved.
Copy !req
299. Thank you, ambassador.
Copy !req
300. Such a shame your hall
was destroyed.
Copy !req
301. I suppose it is fortunate you still
have your other headquarters.
Copy !req
302. The one in orbit above us now.
Copy !req
303. What is it your call that one?
Copy !req
304. The watchtower?
Copy !req
305. What?
Copy !req
306. Oh, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
307. Was that fact not
for public consumption?
Copy !req
308. Did you hear that, folks?
Copy !req
309. The justice league has
their own eye in the sky.
Copy !req
310. Spying on the very planet
they report to protect.
Copy !req
311. Thank goodness for honest
allies like the reach.
Copy !req
312. And wise men like
secretary tseng,
Copy !req
313. who has invited our new friends.
Copy !req
314. To extend their stay on earth.
Copy !req
315. Great.
Copy !req
316. What happened
to your other arrangements?
Copy !req
317. What would you guys
do without me?
Copy !req
318. Where's m'gann?
Copy !req
319. She said the place was a bit
too much like a boys dorm.
Copy !req
320. And as much as she likes
the smell of unwashed socks...
Copy !req
321. Mr. Jones. I haven't
seen you in weeks.
Copy !req
322. I have been traveling,
Mrs. burkowitz.
Copy !req
323. But it is good to be home.
Copy !req
324. M'gann, we need to talk.
Copy !req
325. The reach used
our own secrets against us,
Copy !req
326. beat us without firing a shot,
Copy !req
327. even offered to take
despero off our hands.
Copy !req
328. And I couldn't come up
with a reason to say no.
Copy !req
329. Hope you have some good news.
Copy !req
330. Some answers, at least.
Copy !req
331. With the obvious exception
of blue beetle,
Copy !req
332. the reach abductees
are of two types...
Copy !req
333. Those with a known superpower.
Copy !req
334. And those with the potential
to develop one.
Copy !req
335. I believe we now know
what a meta gene is...
Copy !req
336. A genetic anomaly
that allows certain humans.
Copy !req
337. To adapt new survival abilities.
Copy !req
338. When exposed to trauma.
Copy !req
339. The reach, I think,
Copy !req
340. seeks to cultivate the gene
and weaponize it.
Copy !req
341. Which is probably what brought
the reach and the kroloteans.
Copy !req
342. Here in the first place.
Copy !req
343. All thanks to the light
sending the league to rimbor.
Copy !req
344. And putting earth and its heroes
square in the galactic spotlight.
Copy !req
345. - Beetle?
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
346. I've been hiding something,
Copy !req
347. but I can't...
I just can't.
Copy !req
348. Uh, blue, blue, blue.
What happened to keep quiet?
Copy !req
349. Stop, jaime reyes.
This is a tactical error.
Copy !req
350. No, time for the truth.
Copy !req
351. Impulse says that
some time in the future
Copy !req
352. I betray earth and bring on
a reach apocalypse.
Copy !req
353. That's not a future
I can live with.
Copy !req
354. So whatever it takes,
get this scarab off me.
