1. We have two situations.
Copy !req
2. Each of which requires
delicate handling.
Copy !req
3. I have every confidence our new
hire can handle the first.
Copy !req
4. But, Vandal, are you
certain your acquaintance
Copy !req
5. is up to the second task?
Copy !req
6. Quite certain.
Copy !req
7. Then our good works may proceed.
Copy !req
8. This is Cat Grant reporting
live from Taos, New Mexico.
Copy !req
9. Where Justice League co-chair Aquaman
Copy !req
10. is about to make a statement.
Copy !req
11. Which Cat gets to cover, as usual.
Copy !req
12. I swear, you have one set of twins
Copy !req
13. and everyone forgets you're a reporter.
Copy !req
14. Good morning, everyone.
Copy !req
15. The Justice League and S.T.A.R. Labs
Copy !req
16. are pleased to announce
the official opening
Copy !req
17. of the first Meta-Human Youth Center
Copy !req
18. for children and teens victimized
by meta-human trafficking.
Copy !req
19. Allow me to introduce the newly
named director of the center.
Copy !req
20. Dr. Eduardo Dorado, Sr.
Copy !req
21. Thank you, Aquaman.
Copy !req
22. The M.H.Y.C.'s goal is to
help these young people
Copy !req
23. adjust to their new abilities
Copy !req
24. and to readjust to the
world around them.
Copy !req
25. There are resources here
for these children.
Copy !req
26. Scientists, like myself, who can
help them control their conditions,
Copy !req
27. Justice Leaguers donating
time to train them,
Copy !req
28. and youth counselors who understand
Copy !req
29. exactly what they're going through.
Copy !req
30. Our hope is a simple one.
Copy !req
31. Whoa, whoa, Dawny, Don!
Copy !req
32. No worries! I can keep up
with the Tornado Toddlers.
Copy !req
33. Thanks, Bart.
Copy !req
34. I really appreciate the help.
Copy !req
35. Today especially.
Copy !req
36. Come on, Dad. Stay whelmed.
Copy !req
37. Don't call him "Dad."
Copy !req
38. Oh, yeah, right. Spoilers.
Copy !req
39. Sorry, Grandma!
Copy !req
40. And don't call me "Grandma!"
Copy !req
41. Hello, Iris. Are we late?
Copy !req
42. Mera. No, you and Arthur
are the first to arrive.
Copy !req
43. We now return you to the
G. Gordon Godfrey Show.
Copy !req
44. Back to you, G. Gordon.
Copy !req
45. Thank you, Cat Grant.
Copy !req
46. We'll be getting back to the
meta-human delinquent center
Copy !req
47. in just a moment.
Copy !req
48. But first, allow me to
introduce our guest.
Copy !req
49. Founder of Goode World
Studios, Gretchen Goode.
Copy !req
50. Or as she's more popularly known,
Copy !req
51. Granny Goodness.
Copy !req
52. Gretchen's just fine, G. Gordon.
Copy !req
53. Okay, Granny.
Copy !req
54. Your Goode V.R. goggles are on
Copy !req
55. absolutely everyone's shopping list.
Copy !req
56. And it's only September.
Copy !req
57. We've had modest success
with the goggles, yes.
Copy !req
58. You mean, modest success turning
Copy !req
59. the brains of every kid
in America to mush!
Copy !req
60. Oh. I... I wouldn't say that.
Copy !req
61. No, I imagine you wouldn't.
Copy !req
62. But my viewers prefer the truth.
Copy !req
63. And the truth, in my opinion,
is that these goofy glasses
Copy !req
64. are just another way for kids
to disengage from the world,
Copy !req
65. disrespect their teachers,
disappoint their parents,
Copy !req
66. discombobulate their
emotions, and decetera...
Copy !req
67. G. Gordon, I'm proud of our product.
Copy !req
68. I started Goode World
with a simple goal.
Copy !req
69. To spark the imagination.
Copy !req
70. That has not changed.
Copy !req
71. But, that's not what I
came to talk about.
Copy !req
72. Goode World Studios and
the Wayne Foundation
Copy !req
73. have partnered to help
victims of meta-trafficking.
Copy !req
74. We've made donations to the new
Copy !req
75. Meta-Human Youth Center in Taos,
Copy !req
76. and other similar charities.
Copy !req
77. This is something that Bruce Wayne and I
Copy !req
78. both believe in passionately.
Copy !req
79. Our children are our future.
Copy !req
80. Excuse me.
Copy !req
81. Let's cut to it, shall we?
Copy !req
82. You want "props" for giving
money to the meta-freaks
Copy !req
83. actively engaged in
destroying our way of life?
Copy !req
84. - Bruce and I both feel...
- Oh, yes.
Copy !req
85. Your precious Bruce Wayne.
Copy !req
86. You know he declined
to come on our show?
Copy !req
87. Wonder what he's hiding.
Copy !req
88. Hmm...
Copy !req
89. Now, as for this boondoggle
of a youth center...
Copy !req
90. You don't have to turn it off.
Copy !req
91. I mean, I don't understand
how you can listen
Copy !req
92. to the non-stop hatred
that man spews, but...
Copy !req
93. He's the worst. I know.
But he's kinda...
Copy !req
94. Fascinating.
Copy !req
95. Besides, we can't live in
a bubble. We need to know
Copy !req
96. - what the other side is saying about us.
- Hello.
Copy !req
97. - Hi, Lucas.
- Hi.
Copy !req
98. Good morning, Lucas Carr.
Copy !req
99. So, wanna carpool?
Copy !req
100. I thought you'd already left.
Copy !req
101. My first student appointment
isn't until 11:30,
Copy !req
102. - but you'll be late.
- Coming in when I want.
Copy !req
103. Just one of the perks of being
Copy !req
104. the new principal of Happy Harbor High.
Copy !req
105. Really?
Copy !req
106. Uh, occasionally.
Copy !req
107. Assuming the school
board doesn't get wise.
Copy !req
108. Okay, then.
Copy !req
109. - Bye, guys.
- Have fun.
Copy !req
110. Goodbye, Megan Morse.
Copy !req
111. Yes, Quraci refugees will be allowed
Copy !req
112. to stay in Markovia.
Copy !req
113. It was my parents' wish.
Copy !req
114. And I do not believe
my father and mother
Copy !req
115. would want their deaths
used as an excuse
Copy !req
116. for Markovia to abandon its
humanitarian principles.
Copy !req
117. What about meta-humanity?
Copy !req
118. Will Markovia lift its ban...
Copy !req
119. Patience, please.
Copy !req
120. Meta-human policy is a
subject for another day.
Copy !req
121. Our focus now is on the
needs of these refugees.
Copy !req
122. We better get to work, too.
Copy !req
123. So, Jeff's been spending a lot of
time with Dick, Conner and Artemis.
Copy !req
124. Seems to be going pretty well.
Copy !req
125. I had a feeling my ex wouldn't be able
Copy !req
126. to give up the hero life for very long.
Copy !req
127. Not that it's my business anymore.
Copy !req
128. I get it.
Copy !req
129. And I really shouldn't be
the one bringing up exes.
Copy !req
130. Glass houses and all that.
Copy !req
131. So, speaking of your transparent
living arrangements,
Copy !req
132. what's the deal with you and Artemis?
Copy !req
133. What deal? No deal.
Copy !req
134. There's no deal.
Copy !req
135. I mean, I'm grateful for
her help with Brion but...
Copy !req
136. Uh, don't get the wrong idea.
Copy !req
137. Really? You're both single,
living in the same house...
Copy !req
138. But, sorry, I shouldn't
make assumptions.
Copy !req
139. Yeah... No.
Copy !req
140. Don't get up, Iris. I've got it.
Copy !req
141. Karen, you came!
Copy !req
142. When you're invited to join
a club this exclusive,
Copy !req
143. you don't say no.
Copy !req
144. You got a baby in you.
Copy !req
145. That's right, Amistad. I do.
Copy !req
146. Hello, Brion. I mean,
Geo-Force. Geo-Force.
Copy !req
147. Hello, Halo.
Copy !req
148. No, not like that.
Copy !req
149. The Forager will demonstrate.
Copy !req
150. Hello, Violet. Forager means Halo. Halo.
Copy !req
151. Do not worry. Geo-Force may still learn.
Copy !req
152. Hello, children.
Copy !req
153. Dr. Jace?
Copy !req
154. Thank you for allowing
me to join you here.
Copy !req
155. Oh, thank Jeff for convincing us.
Copy !req
156. Oh, she has.
Copy !req
157. Hello, Dr. Jace.
Copy !req
158. Forager means Dr. Jace. Dr. Jace.
Copy !req
159. Forager is Forager.
Copy !req
160. Hello, Forager.
Copy !req
161. Hmm.
Copy !req
162. Humans can be very slow of study.
Copy !req
163. Gabrielle, it's so good to see you.
Copy !req
164. I'm not Gabrielle. I'm Violet.
Copy !req
165. Besides, right now, I'm Halo. Halo.
Copy !req
166. Now Halo is just showing off.
Copy !req
167. I'm sorry, Violet. Halo, you're right.
Copy !req
168. And I owe you an apology
as well, Prince Brion.
Copy !req
169. Everything that's happened
to you is my fault.
Copy !req
170. I thought you were the only one who
could stop your uncle and Bedlam.
Copy !req
171. If I'd known these good
people were coming to help...
Copy !req
172. I know it wasn't your fault.
Copy !req
173. You were Bedlam's victim, too.
Copy !req
174. But not the only one.
Copy !req
175. What are we doing to get
Princess Tara back?
Copy !req
176. Nightwing has a plan.
Copy !req
177. I'm told we must be...
Copy !req
178. Patient.
Copy !req
179. Geo-Force, get down!
Copy !req
180. What? What's going on?
Copy !req
181. Wait. What's happening? The children!
Copy !req
182. Let them solve it, Helga.
Copy !req
183. Geo-Force, Halo and
Forager are being tested.
Copy !req
184. So we must fight back to pass the test.
Copy !req
185. Okay, that's enough.
Copy !req
186. Is he insane?
Copy !req
187. He was using rubber bullets.
Copy !req
188. Painful, but non-lethal
if carefully aimed.
Copy !req
189. That doesn't answer my question!
Copy !req
190. Brion, are you all right?
Copy !req
191. Fine, I'm fine.
Copy !req
192. Halo, Forager, you both get A
grades for reflexive action,
Copy !req
193. evaluation and adaptability.
Copy !req
194. Geo-Force, you get an
F in all categories.
Copy !req
195. Greetings, children. And fellow parents.
Copy !req
196. Glad you're here, John.
Copy !req
197. It's tough being the
only dad in the room.
Copy !req
198. Is it now?
Copy !req
199. No, maybe not. I...
Copy !req
200. - Uncle John, do the twisties!
- Please! Please!
Copy !req
201. They have been talking about it all day.
Copy !req
202. So, if it's not too much trouble...
Copy !req
203. It would be my pleasure.
Copy !req
204. I came here for training.
Not cheap shots!
Copy !req
205. All right. Let's dial
this down a few degrees.
Copy !req
206. No, it's okay. Let him say his piece.
Copy !req
207. Well, thank you for the indulgence.
Copy !req
208. Do you have a point to make or not?
Copy !req
209. Otherwise, let's get back to training.
Copy !req
210. Training is all you
care about, isn't it?
Copy !req
211. You promised me Tara. We
know she's on Santa Prisca.
Copy !req
212. So what are we waiting for?
Copy !req
213. We don't know she's there,
and we don't want a repeat
Copy !req
214. of the Infinity Island debacle, do we?
Copy !req
215. Brion, you need to be patient.
Copy !req
216. Everyone preaches patience.
Copy !req
217. Fine, but perhaps you'd care to explain
Copy !req
218. the point of that last exercise?
Copy !req
219. A surprise attack proves nothing!
Copy !req
220. Hmm. In your case,
Copy !req
221. it proves you need to
train for surprise attacks.
Copy !req
222. Translating Interlac.
Copy !req
223. The Main Man's contracted
to kill this bug.
Copy !req
224. The rest of you can go.
Copy !req
225. Not gonna happen.
Copy !req
226. Fine.
Copy !req
227. You had your chance.
Copy !req
228. Crazy Kryptonian thinks
he can frag the Main Man?
Copy !req
229. We gotta get you to safety!
Copy !req
230. Forget me. Protect my kids!
Copy !req
231. Maneuver 16!
Copy !req
232. Huh?
Copy !req
233. Halo! Fly Forager outta here!
Copy !req
234. Of course!
Copy !req
235. There's no running from the Main Man!
Copy !req
236. Halo!
Copy !req
237. Ugh.
Copy !req
238. I hate cleaning this thing.
Copy !req
239. I'm gonna frag that, that bastard.
Copy !req
240. Who hired you? Was it Mantis?
Copy !req
241. Was it Ma'alefa'ak?
Copy !req
242. The Main Man doesn't kill and tell.
Copy !req
243. Clear!
Copy !req
244. Louise. I'm so glad you and
Jonathan could make it.
Copy !req
245. Oh, we wouldn't miss it.
Copy !req
246. It's the one place I can relax
Copy !req
247. with people who truly
understand what our lives,
Copy !req
248. what the life is like.
Copy !req
249. And our numbers are growing.
It's a full house.
Copy !req
250. I am impressed.
Copy !req
251. Look at all you've accomplished.
Copy !req
252. You discovered where the
parents and children
Copy !req
253. came to gather for their play date.
Copy !req
254. You leased the house across
the street, set up wire taps,
Copy !req
255. cameras, microphones, infra-red...
Copy !req
256. You've truly mastered the surface world.
Copy !req
257. These are useful skills.
Copy !req
258. Worthy of the Shadows. Not to be wasted.
Copy !req
259. I'm glad you approve, Lady Shiva.
Copy !req
260. Now watch as I step outside
Copy !req
261. and with one blast from
Neptune's trident,
Copy !req
262. deal a blow from which
the so-called heroes
Copy !req
263. will never recover.
Copy !req
264. Yes, you could do that.
It has been contemplated.
Copy !req
265. As you know, it's what the
Light refers to as their
Copy !req
266. Nuclear option.
Copy !req
267. But the thing about going nuclear,
Copy !req
268. is that one must be prepared for
mutually assured destruction.
Copy !req
269. So the Light has vowed never
to use this option lightly.
Copy !req
270. Please. I am Orm, the Ocean-Master.
Copy !req
271. A Prince of Atlantis.
Copy !req
272. Prince... I should be King!
Copy !req
273. Instead I spent six years
inside an Atlantean prison!
Copy !req
274. Six years!
Copy !req
275. I will not be denied my revenge.
Copy !req
276. That's what the Light assumed.
Copy !req
277. That's why I'm here.
Copy !req
278. Hmm?
Copy !req
279. Dad! Slow down!
Copy !req
280. Don't call him Dad!
Copy !req
281. Come on here! Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
282. You think you can do fast? Come on!
Copy !req
283. Oh, we're having such a wonderful time!
Copy !req
284. Surrender before it's too late!
Copy !req
285. I could buy a new vest
and regenerate new skin.
Copy !req
286. But you sure ain't gonna grow new heads
Copy !req
287. to replace the ones I tear off ya!
Copy !req
288. Geo-Force, the ground!
Copy !req
289. Cut it out, scummy Earther!
Copy !req
290. The Main Man's gonna frag all you...
Copy !req
291. Get down!
Copy !req
292. Thank you.
Copy !req
293. How many of these crazy bugs are there?
Copy !req
294. These bastiches are fakes!
Copy !req
295. You're behind this!
Copy !req
296. Looks like the Main Man's gotta
frag you all over again.
Copy !req
297. No, stay way from her!
Copy !req
298. Dr. Jace! Get back!
Copy !req
299. Gonna frag that cheesy
fem till she's dust!
Copy !req
300. Ha! Got ya!
Copy !req
301. - Forager!
- No!
Copy !req
302. Stop!
Copy !req
303. No!
Copy !req
304. Hmm. Just get over here.
Copy !req
305. Don't feel too bad.
Copy !req
306. You bastiches did better than most.
Copy !req
307. Is Lobo gone?
Copy !req
308. - You're alive!
- You're pink!
Copy !req
309. Forager shed his exo-shell to fool Lobo.
Copy !req
310. But Forager thinks
Forager now understands
Copy !req
311. what friends meant by
Copy !req
312. "not liking to be naked."
Copy !req
313. Oh. Sorry. I can't. You're too...
Copy !req
314. Goochy.
Copy !req
315. I don't care how goochy you are!
Copy !req
316. But you are indeed quite goochy.
Copy !req
317. Uh, yeah. Welcome to the
fake-your-own-death club.
Copy !req
318. Its membership is very exclusive
and I'm the president.
Copy !req
319. Forager thanks Artemis Crock.
Copy !req
320. Forager thanks all his friends
Copy !req
321. for risking limb and
life to save Forager.
Copy !req
322. The humans here are all truly
drones in Forager's hive.
Copy !req
323. The feeling's mutual, kid.
Copy !req
324. We always take care of our own.
Copy !req
325. The Central City job is done.
Copy !req
326. And the heroes will never know.
Copy !req
327. Excellent work, Lady Shiva.
Copy !req
328. You were clearly the right choice
Copy !req
329. to become the Light's new enforcer.
Copy !req
330. As to the other item of business,
Copy !req
331. Lobo may not know he failed,
Copy !req
332. but killing Forager was never the point.
Copy !req
333. We can now confirm Vertigo's testimony.
Copy !req
334. That the Superboy and Black Lightning
Copy !req
335. participated in the Markovian incident.
Copy !req
336. Such a waste.
Copy !req
337. We lost an excellent
source of meta-humans.
Copy !req
338. There are other options on that front.
Copy !req
339. But after Markovia, and after the
communique from Ra's al Ghul,
Copy !req
340. the Light required confirmation
of all we suspected.
Copy !req
341. Now, we can be certain
that Grayson has assembled
Copy !req
342. a new off-the-books team,
Copy !req
343. consisting of the Superboy, Lightning,
Copy !req
344. Sportsmaster's younger daughter,
Copy !req
345. the banished Prince of Markovia,
Copy !req
346. the New Genesian Bug and
an unknown meta-girl.
Copy !req
347. Seven champions. An elegant number.
Copy !req
348. And we've learned to our regret
Copy !req
349. that young heroes like these
Copy !req
350. can cause the seven of
us no end of trouble.
Copy !req
351. No worries, my friends.
Copy !req
352. A plan is in place.
Copy !req
353. We'll deal with these naughty children
Copy !req
354. in our own good time.
Copy !req
