1. Hal, John, now!
Copy !req
2. No Boomtubin' away this time, poozers.
Copy !req
3. Your turn, Flongated Man.
Copy !req
4. That's Elongated Man, and I'm movin' in.
Copy !req
5. Wonder Woman, deploy your Squad.
Copy !req
6. But be careful.
Copy !req
7. They've initiated no counter-measures.
Copy !req
8. It's suspicious.
Copy !req
9. He's right. It makes you
wonder who's trappin' who here.
Copy !req
10. I can see the kidnapped kids inside.
Copy !req
11. Our rescue mission's still...
Copy !req
12. Wait.
Copy !req
13. The device has been activated.
Brace yourselves!
Copy !req
14. Keep going. Fight through it.
Copy !req
15. My, what a delightful test
of the Anti-Life Equation.
Copy !req
16. The Justice League's biggest bullies
Copy !req
17. enslaved in one fell swoop.
Copy !req
18. My dear little Motherbox,
Copy !req
19. you've done quite well for your Granny.
Copy !req
20. Darkseid will be most pleased.
Copy !req
21. Goode World Studios is under attack.
Copy !req
22. Across the globe, our facilities
have suffered a rash of break-ins.
Copy !req
23. Our security and privacy violated,
Copy !req
24. or so forensics indicate,
by meta-humans.
Copy !req
25. My heart has been shattered
by these betrayals.
Copy !req
26. Especially, after all my donations
to the Meta-Human Youth Center.
Copy !req
27. These meta-hooligans working
outside the law must be disciplined.
Copy !req
28. She's just taunting us, Gar.
Don't let her get in your head.
Copy !req
29. Forager wishes Forager could smell out
Copy !req
30. Violet Harper as Forager
once smelled out Victor Stone.
Copy !req
31. We all wish that.
Copy !req
32. But on the point
Gretchen just jabbed us with,
Copy !req
33. you know the Team
already conducted covert raids
Copy !req
34. on all Goode holdings to find Violet.
Copy !req
35. And no luck.
Copy !req
36. Since neither Sphere, Motherbox,
nor Victor can sense her,
Copy !req
37. she is likely off-world by now.
Copy !req
38. We'll find her.
Copy !req
39. Uh, I thought you were
confined to bed, Mr. Low-Grade Fever?
Copy !req
40. You can't keep a boy wonder down.
Copy !req
41. Uh, and please don't mention
any fever to Barbara, okay?
Copy !req
42. It took forever to convince her I was
over my Ghost Dimension sickness.
Copy !req
43. She'd been at my bedside
for two days straight.
Copy !req
44. I finally persuaded her to go home.
Copy !req
45. Hmm.
Copy !req
46. Not until after I promised
to watch over you.
Copy !req
47. Figures.
Copy !req
48. You yelled at me before.
Copy !req
49. Since then,
it's been the silent treatment.
Copy !req
50. Can't we just talk?
Copy !req
51. Fine. Talk.
Copy !req
52. We were losing the war.
Copy !req
53. The Light changed the rules,
cornered us into making a choice.
Copy !req
54. Protect our ideals or protect people.
Copy !req
55. As leaders, we chose to protect people,
Copy !req
56. including our fellow heroes from
the repercussions of our choice.
Copy !req
57. Ask Jeff and Gar how
protected they feel by your choice.
Copy !req
58. But okay, sacrificing principle
to save people,
Copy !req
59. I get why this "Anti-Light" was formed.
Copy !req
60. What I don't get is
why you went along with it.
Copy !req
61. Why wouldn't I...
Copy !req
62. Agree to secretly stage events?
Copy !req
63. Doesn't that sound
a little too familiar,
Copy !req
64. or have you really forgotten
how Artemis' staged death
Copy !req
65. led you to brain-fry Kaldur?
Copy !req
66. - No, I...
- Every time you lie
Copy !req
67. to the people you love, M'gann,
you lose a little bit of your soul.
Copy !req
68. What we were doing, it wasn't like that.
Copy !req
69. I'm sorry, but
you can't be trusted to decide
Copy !req
70. what it is and isn't like.
Copy !req
71. Not when it was your lies
that nearly ended us.
Copy !req
72. I thought you forgave me for that.
Copy !req
73. Yeah, well, forgiving
doesn't mean forgetting.
Copy !req
74. You know how much I've regretted
Copy !req
75. trying to alter your mind
without you knowing.
Copy !req
76. But I didn't, I wouldn't invade
anyone's mind this time
Copy !req
77. and I didn't hurt anybody.
Copy !req
78. Lies alter minds, M'gann.
Copy !req
79. Lies hurt.
Copy !req
80. I...
Copy !req
81. Yes, Doorman Kirby Jacobs?
How can Fred Bugg assist you?
Copy !req
82. Hey, Fred. Uh, there's a...
Copy !req
83. a gentleman here in the lobby
to see you guys.
Copy !req
84. He says his name's Savage.
Copy !req
85. Should I send him up?
Copy !req
86. I believe you're
shepherds who have lost a sheep.
Copy !req
87. Tell us where Halo is!
Copy !req
88. That is precisely why I'm here.
Copy !req
89. I know you have a Motherbox.
Copy !req
90. I'm here to offer coordinates,
Copy !req
91. so you can boomtube
to Ms. Harper's location.
Copy !req
92. What's the catch?
Copy !req
93. The catch, as you put it, is this.
Copy !req
94. You promise to tell her
abductor exactly who sent you.
Copy !req
95. I can't reach Thirteen.
Copy !req
96. Last I heard, she was at the Tower
of Fate, training with Zatanna.
Copy !req
97. We'll manage.
Copy !req
98. I know. But it's a team mission
to recover one of our own.
Copy !req
99. And she's part of the Team.
Copy !req
100. I'll sub in for her.
Copy !req
101. Dick, you're still...
Copy !req
102. I'm traught, whelmed,
and feelin' the aster.
Copy !req
103. I'm going.
Copy !req
104. I do not believe we could
keep him here if we tried.
Copy !req
105. You think?
Copy !req
106. Which is why I am going.
Copy !req
107. I promised Barbara
I would watch over him.
Copy !req
108. And since you're going...
Copy !req
109. I am strictly back-up.
Copy !req
110. As you said, Halo is your teammate.
Copy !req
111. This is your team, your mission.
Copy !req
112. I know I'm an Outsider,
but I'm going, too.
Copy !req
113. And no one can stop me.
Copy !req
114. No one's trying to stop you.
Copy !req
115. But we're headed into the unknown here.
Copy !req
116. I need to know you can keep
your head on this mission,
Copy !req
117. for Violet's sake.
Copy !req
118. I can do that, for Violet's sake.
Copy !req
119. Not bad.
Copy !req
120. Soundin' pretty Big Blue, like a leader.
Copy !req
121. We both know that's not my role.
Copy !req
122. Hey, don't look at me.
I hate being a leader.
Copy !req
123. You keep sayin' that,
Copy !req
124. but you already are a leader.
Copy !req
125. So maybe the real question is,
Copy !req
126. what kind of leader do you want to be?
Copy !req
127. Motherbox has Savage's coordinates.
Copy !req
128. Psychic link established.
Copy !req
129. If Vandal's Intel is correct,
we'll have the element of surprise.
Copy !req
130. If not, this could be an ambush.
Copy !req
131. Be ready for anything.
Copy !req
132. All clear.
Copy !req
133. Mother of goat, what are those things?
Copy !req
134. The stench.
Copy !req
135. Parademons.
Copy !req
136. Don't let them spook you.
Copy !req
137. Remember your training and they'll
fall like any other opponent.
Copy !req
138. But Violet, is she here?
Copy !req
139. Savage was being straight.
Copy !req
140. Motherbox is locked on Violet.
She's here, and close.
Copy !req
141. That's odd.
Copy !req
142. I can't sense her psychically.
Copy !req
143. But I don't have to be psychic
Copy !req
144. to know our boomtube will attract
attention, and soon.
Copy !req
145. Beta Squad, you know the plan.
Copy !req
146. We provide the distraction,
you find Violet.
Copy !req
147. Geo-Force, you're leading Beta.
Copy !req
148. If you get in real trouble,
have Motherbox boomtube you home.
Copy !req
149. And remember...
Copy !req
150. Keep my head, do my
homework, and be in bed by ten. Got it.
Copy !req
151. Seriously, I'll watch out for them,
and we'll bring Violet home.
Copy !req
152. I'm honored you've put your trust in me.
Copy !req
153. Let's go.
Copy !req
154. They grow up so fast.
Copy !req
155. Alpha,
Copy !req
156. behind that ship, the Javelin.
Copy !req
157. Which means we are
Copy !req
158. almost certainly aboard
Granny Goodness' asteroid base.
Copy !req
159. The League was staging a raid here today
Copy !req
160. to liberate dozens of
kidnapped meta-teens.
Copy !req
161. Sending update to Beta.
Copy !req
162. Not hearin' a battle.
Copy !req
163. I've reached out psychically.
Copy !req
164. Meta-teens, the League, I can't sense
any of them here, not even my uncle.
Copy !req
165. We know from the Markovs
that Granny can potentially use
Copy !req
166. Violet's power to control
anyone without a fight.
Copy !req
167. Then we assume Granny's got 'em.
Copy !req
168. And we'll just add the Justice
League and several dozen meta-teens
Copy !req
169. to the rescue list. No big deal.
Copy !req
170. Company's comin'.
Copy !req
171. Alpha Squad, take positions.
Copy !req
172. Keep base security focused on
us, so Beta has a clear shot.
Copy !req
173. I'm fine.
Copy !req
174. Motherbox, which way to Violet?
Copy !req
175. Forager smells someone.
No, several someones coming.
Copy !req
176. Mantis? Here?
Copy !req
177. Mantis is the bug who threatened Forager
Copy !req
178. and forced him to come to Earth.
Copy !req
179. Forager knew Mantis was
angry, angry with all the New Gods.
Copy !req
180. But Forager never dreamed Mantis would
leave the hive to fight for Apokolips.
Copy !req
181. Anger can cloud one's judgement.
Copy !req
182. And we cannot always
save people from themselves.
Copy !req
183. He has made his
choice as we have made ours,
Copy !req
184. for our hive, for our family.
Copy !req
185. Let's save Violet.
Copy !req
186. Alpha Squad, you have incoming.
Copy !req
187. Please surrender now.
Copy !req
188. One entrance sealed.
Copy !req
189. I'll close another to keep them
channeled from one direction.
Copy !req
190. Dude!
Copy !req
191. Monkeys must love you
'cause you are bananas
Copy !req
192. if you thought the Wall-man would
stay back at the Cave and miss this.
Copy !req
193. Kid Flash, you're here!
Copy !req
194. Well, duh.
Copy !req
195. A mission to fight
space babes and giant space bugs,
Copy !req
196. on a giant space station in space?
Copy !req
197. Try to keep me away.
Copy !req
198. Oh, hey, the new girl.
I'm gonna keep my eye on her.
Copy !req
199. We heard that!
Copy !req
200. Oh, and you know my
fantasy first date with Miss M,
Copy !req
201. is us takin' down
space baddies together.
Copy !req
202. Well, then, KF,
Copy !req
203. looks like today is the day.
Copy !req
204. After all,
we didn't come for a playdate.
Copy !req
205. Shh. Listen!
Copy !req
206. Hello, Megan!
Copy !req
207. Check, this, out!
Copy !req
208. Kid, wait!
Copy !req
209. Souvenir! I'm calling souvenir!
Copy !req
210. KF, you're brilliant!
Copy !req
211. Uh, Rob?
Copy !req
212. Why did my souvenir
just eject some thingies?
Copy !req
213. To subject some space monsters
Copy !req
214. to a little Team-style shock treatment.
Copy !req
215. Rejected!
Copy !req
216. Dejected!
Copy !req
217. Now let's ject the rest!
Copy !req
218. All right, scoot over.
Copy !req
219. Make some room for player two.
Copy !req
220. Miss Martian.
Copy !req
221. - Jected!
- Artemis.
Copy !req
222. Jected! She owes me one.
Copy !req
223. You know I can still hear you.
Copy !req
224. Dang it!
Copy !req
225. Superboy, Aqualad.
Copy !req
226. Double-jected!
Copy !req
227. Nightwing hacked the Javelin.
Copy !req
228. I hacked the Javelin.
Copy !req
229. Your fever dream
also hacked into old memories,
Copy !req
230. old feelings.
Copy !req
231. We all experienced it.
Copy !req
232. Yeah.
Copy !req
233. Um, sorry.
Copy !req
234. Don't be.
Copy !req
235. Wally's always fighting at our side,
Copy !req
236. and always will be.
Copy !req
237. We have to move.
Copy !req
238. Dick, if you are not one
hundred percent in the game...
Copy !req
239. You kidding?
I haven't felt this good in years.
Copy !req
240. Let's go ject Granny.
Copy !req
241. Ta-da!
Copy !req
242. Violet. She's in there.
Copy !req
243. First, the elders. Now the children.
Copy !req
244. Motherbox,
Copy !req
245. your friends certainly make
things easier by coming to us.
Copy !req
246. Let Violet go.
Copy !req
247. Now.
Copy !req
248. So the young prince
arrives to rescue his princess.
Copy !req
249. In these last moments,
Copy !req
250. before the entire galaxy
falls to Apokolips,
Copy !req
251. your sad story moves even my cold heart.
Copy !req
252. Your parents murdered by an uncle,
Copy !req
253. your country lost to a brother,
your trust betrayed by a confidant,
Copy !req
254. and now you lead your sister and friends
Copy !req
255. to an inescapable doom,
Copy !req
256. executed by the she-thing
closest to your heart.
Copy !req
257. Geo-Force, Granny Goodness is...
Copy !req
258. Trying to distract me with anger
Copy !req
259. while I distract her
by pretending it's working.
Copy !req
260. I'm about to tell Motherbox to disable
the device on Violet's forehead,
Copy !req
261. so get ready to...
Copy !req
262. Manhunter! He cut the psychic link.
Copy !req
263. My link with Beta's been severed.
Copy !req
264. For just a moment, I sensed my uncle's
touch upon Geo-Force's consciousness.
Copy !req
265. But J'onn's mind was not his own.
Copy !req
266. Superman and the other Leaguers?
Copy !req
267. Nothing.
Copy !req
268. Nothing on any of them.
Not even J'onn now.
Copy !req
269. No doubt they're
all under Granny's control.
Copy !req
270. Stay traught.
Just need to level the playing field.
Copy !req
271. Yes. M'gann, the moment
we enter, brain blast everyone.
Copy !req
272. Render all unconscious,
friend and foe alike.
Copy !req
273. That won't work on everyone,
Copy !req
274. especially those under Granny's sway.
Copy !req
275. A puppet doesn't need a mind if
someone else is pulling the strings.
Copy !req
276. Your psychic
strength may be the only way
Copy !req
277. to tip the balance in our favor.
Copy !req
278. You must do to them
what you once did to me.
Copy !req
279. You are not suggesting
she brain-fry everyone.
Copy !req
280. Don't you know the effect it has on...
Copy !req
281. Believe me, I understand the
consequences to our friends, but...
Copy !req
282. But what about
the consequences to M'gann?
Copy !req
283. Conner,
Copy !req
284. what about the consequences
to the Universe?
Copy !req
285. If Granny succeeds in
using this Anti-Life Equation,
Copy !req
286. then billions throughout
the galaxy will be enslaved.
Copy !req
287. I'm prepared to sacrifice
my soul to save theirs.
Copy !req
288. Are you prepared to stop me?
Copy !req
289. How is Beta Squad
to fight the Justice League?
Copy !req
290. You're not fighting them,
child, you're joining them.
Copy !req
291. So too, the entire population
of your world,
Copy !req
292. well, the meta-population,
Copy !req
293. who are the only ones that will survive.
Copy !req
294. Non-metas suffer from the process
Copy !req
295. in a way that metas do not.
Copy !req
296. You perhaps noticed a difference
in the residual effect
Copy !req
297. of the Ghost Dimension
upon your Richard Grayson,
Copy !req
298. as opposed to Jefferson Pierce
or Kaldur'ahm?
Copy !req
299. Now,
Copy !req
300. imagine every non-meta in
the galaxy suffering that way,
Copy !req
301. before eventually dying.
Copy !req
302. It's truly glorious to contemplate.
Copy !req
303. Violet!
Copy !req
304. Little Prince, take heart.
Copy !req
305. You'll spend plenty of time
with your beloved Violet.
Copy !req
306. Together, you'll spread Anti-Life
Copy !req
307. throughout the Universe
till death do you part.
Copy !req
308. Violet, please!
Copy !req
309. But enjoy this moment,
Copy !req
310. because it's the last moment you'll
be conscious of being together at all.
Copy !req
311. Overlord. Cube, please.
Copy !req
312. Excellent. Now.
Copy !req
313. Please. Hurry.
Copy !req
314. There! Target that device!
Copy !req
315. Well, at long last.
Copy !req
316. Rise, children, and bear witness.
Copy !req
317. The Age of the Anti-Life Equation
Copy !req
318. is finally upon us.
Copy !req
319. The Age of Darkseid begins.
Copy !req
