1. We have reason to feel proud
of yesterday's victories.
Copy !req
2. But one thing has not changed.
Copy !req
3. Somehow, the bad guys
are still getting inside intel about us.
Copy !req
4. Yeah, but at least we know
none of us were the mole.
Copy !req
5. That's correct.
Copy !req
6. The mole was Red Arrow.
Copy !req
7. - Roy!
- No way!
Copy !req
8. Batman, that cannot be.
He was Green Arrow's protégé.
Copy !req
9. We have all known him for years!
Copy !req
10. Unfortunately, the Roy Harper
we have known for the last three years
Copy !req
11. is another Project Cadmus clone.
Copy !req
12. We've learned the real Speedy
was abducted and replaced
Copy !req
13. immediately after becoming
Green Arrow's sidekick.
Copy !req
14. The clone was pre-programmed
Copy !req
15. with a drive
to join the Justice League.
Copy !req
16. Which is why he was so angry
over any delays to his admission
Copy !req
17. and why he refused
to join the Team.
Copy !req
18. This Roy Harper had no idea
he was a clone, or a traitor,
Copy !req
19. and his subconscious programming
Copy !req
20. drove him to become
League worthy.
Copy !req
21. So he struck out on his own,
as "Red Arrow".
Copy !req
22. And when he was finally admitted,
Copy !req
23. his secondary programming
kicked in
Copy !req
24. and he attempted to betray the League
to Vandal Savage.
Copy !req
25. Fortunately, I had already deduced
Red Arrow was a clone.
Copy !req
26. We were prepared.
Copy !req
27. Savage was subdued,
but Red Arrow escaped.
Copy !req
28. He is now a fugitive,
armed and dangerous.
Copy !req
29. If you guys hadn't rescued me
from Cadmus...
Copy !req
30. W-what happened
to the real Roy?
Copy !req
31. We don't know.
He isn't in Cadmus.
Copy !req
32. We have to face the possibility
Copy !req
33. that the real Roy Harper
is dead.
Copy !req
34. The Clone Roy...
The Team will find him.
Copy !req
35. Negative. Red Arrow is a member
of the Justice League now.
Copy !req
36. Leave him to us.
Copy !req
37. I'm needed on the Watchtower.
Tornado, stay with the kids.
Copy !req
38. Batman, 0-2.
Copy !req
39. Clone or no clone,
Red Arrow was one of us.
Copy !req
40. We WILL go after him.
Copy !req
41. - Tornado!
- What happened to him?
Copy !req
42. - He's totally powered down.
- All functions, offline.
Copy !req
43. Guys, I'm sensing
a low-level mystic force at play.
Copy !req
44. I don't know if it caused
his shutdown,
Copy !req
45. but, now, that I think about it
I was getting the same buzz off Batman.
Copy !req
46. Batman!
He called us "kids".
Copy !req
47. He never does that!
Copy !req
48. Look!
Copy !req
49. One of those bio-tech chips
we confiscated off Cheshire.
Copy !req
50. Something is not right.
Robin, Kid, Zatanna, Rocket,
Copy !req
51. see if you get Tornado
back online.
Copy !req
52. The rest, with me to find
Roy... Red Arrow.
Copy !req
53. The problem's hardware,
not software.
Copy !req
54. But where do we start?
Copy !req
55. I have a thought...
Copy !req
56. Download in progress...
Copy !req
57. So Tornado built this android...
Copy !req
58. - To party?
- Not how he'd put it...
Copy !req
59. But yeah, more or less.
Copy !req
60. Black Canary, 1-3.
Copy !req
61. Hey, guys, wanted to check in
and see how you're handling the...
Copy !req
62. What are you doing to Red?
Copy !req
63. It's not how it looks!
Copy !req
64. It looks like you're downloading
his consciousness into a new body!
Copy !req
65. OK, it's pretty much EXACTLY
how it looks, but...
Copy !req
66. Team, get out of the cave,
now!
Copy !req
67. Black Canary attacked us?
Copy !req
68. Black Canary
is the least of our problems.
Copy !req
69. We MUST abandon the Cave!
Copy !req
70. Icon, 2-0,
Copy !req
71. Doctor Fate, 1-7,
Copy !req
72. Captain Marvel, 1-5.
Copy !req
73. Stay off your radio.
Copy !req
74. Let the Super-Cycle track Superboy.
Copy !req
75. Instruct her to mask all signals.
Copy !req
76. We cannot allow the League
to track us.
Copy !req
77. Right, of course.
Just one question.
Copy !req
78. Why is the Justice League
after US?
Copy !req
79. Computer logs indicate Red Arrow's
headed to the Hall from the Watchtower.
Copy !req
80. But he could be anywhere by now!
Copy !req
81. After Roy went solo,
Copy !req
82. he installed equipment caches
in several major cities.
Copy !req
83. One is here.
Copy !req
84. I have not come to harm,
or apprehend you.
Copy !req
85. - But the Team requires answers.
- Me, first.
Copy !req
86. Tell me something
you haven't told anyone else.
Copy !req
87. Tell me who broke your heart!
Copy !req
88. Tula.
Copy !req
89. The girl I love chose my best friend,
Garth, over me,
Copy !req
90. while my best friend
on the surface world
Copy !req
91. aims an arrow at my chest.
Copy !req
92. We were told you were the mole,
but we have reason to doubt.
Copy !req
93. Forget "doubt".
I WAS the mole.
Copy !req
94. Batman and Tornado said
you are Cadmus' clone,
Copy !req
95. like me.
Copy !req
96. That explains it.
Copy !req
97. I was a sleeper agent...
Copy !req
98. Pre-programmed to infiltrate
the League.
Copy !req
99. I think Sportsmaster was my handler.
Copy !req
100. I hear you go by "Red Arrow" now.
Copy !req
101. Ha! More like "Broken Arrow".
Copy !req
102. He had a key-phrase,
"Broken Arrow",
Copy !req
103. that could shut me down.
Copy !req
104. It'd put me into a hypnotic state
to steal secrets for his superiors
Copy !req
105. or incorporate further programming.
Copy !req
106. I'd then carry out all orders
subconsciously,
Copy !req
107. completely unaware
of what drove me.
Copy !req
108. I think one of those orders was
to focus suspicion on the three of you.
Copy !req
109. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
110. How did Batman discover this
Copy !req
111. and prevent you
from betraying the League?
Copy !req
112. He didn't.
Copy !req
113. The entire League
is under the complete mental domination
Copy !req
114. of Vandal Savage.
Copy !req
115. Red Arrow seems to have been
his means.
Copy !req
116. His method was something
Savage referred to as "Starro-Tech".
Copy !req
117. An alien bio-organism
infused with nanotechnology and magic.
Copy !req
118. It shuts down the mind's autonomy,
Copy !req
119. allowing Savage to reprogram
the individual to suit his needs.
Copy !req
120. Even my inorganic brain
was not immune.
Copy !req
121. But the process requires
0.16 nanoseconds
Copy !req
122. to fully integrate
with it's host's nervous system.
Copy !req
123. That delay allowed me
to create an internal subprogram
Copy !req
124. which would disconnect
my power cells
Copy !req
125. if I attempted to infect
another person.
Copy !req
126. Fortunately, this Starro-Tech
is body-specific.
Copy !req
127. As John Smith,
I am now free of outside control.
Copy !req
128. This... Starro-Tech...
Copy !req
129. It worked on super-powered humans,
four flavors of alien, an android
Copy !req
130. even Doctor Fate,
defeating all of you without a fight?
Copy !req
131. Indeed.
A remarkable achievement,
Copy !req
132. one not easily countered.
Copy !req
133. I'm sorry, but how is it
that you are no longer enslaved?
Copy !req
134. No Starro-Tech, for starters.
Copy !req
135. Just my Cadmus programming.
Copy !req
136. And once I've satisfied
its last parameter,
Copy !req
137. my mind began to clear.
Copy !req
138. I...
I was the mole?
Copy !req
139. Yes...
Yes, you were.
Copy !req
140. I'm sure Savage planned
to Starro-Tech me,
Copy !req
141. but he paused, to... bask...
Copy !req
142. I escaped.
Copy !req
143. I promise...
Copy !req
144. I can clean any residual programming
from your mind.
Copy !req
145. Miss Martian, are you in range?
Copy !req
146. Here, Robin.
Linking both squads and de-camouflaging.
Copy !req
147. Great, 'cause we really need
to compare notes.
Copy !req
148. Black Canary, 1-3,
Copy !req
149. Red Tornado, 1-6,
Copy !req
150. Red Arrow, 2-1.
Copy !req
151. Any problems?
Copy !req
152. Despite an initial setback,
Copy !req
153. I was able to reinfect
Red Tornado and Red Arrow.
Copy !req
154. As well as the entire Team.
Copy !req
155. They await reprogramming,
back, on Earth.
Copy !req
156. I think not.
Copy !req
157. You see, Starro-Tech
does not reprogram the mind,
Copy !req
158. it offers us remote control of it.
Copy !req
159. We know exactly who's infected
and who's not.
Copy !req
160. And none of you are!
Copy !req
161. But that is easily rectifying.
Copy !req
162. Fifty thousand years of life,
Copy !req
163. and nothing ever troubled me
Copy !req
164. as much as the founding
of the Justice League,
Copy !req
165. dedicated to maintaining society's
calcified status quo.
Copy !req
166. The League would protect mankind
from disaster,
Copy !req
167. crime, tragedy of any kind.
Copy !req
168. Had you never heard of
"the survival of the fittest"?
Copy !req
169. In essence, you heroes
sought to protect humanity
Copy !req
170. from its own glorious evolution.
Copy !req
171. As such, you forced my more enlightened
colleagues and myself,
Copy !req
172. to organize a response.
Copy !req
173. We created or co-opted
networks of operatives,
Copy !req
174. placed key-individuals
in key-positions,
Copy !req
175. made certain we were on the cutting edge
of all new technologies,
Copy !req
176. genetic engineering,
Copy !req
177. biochemical engineering,
Copy !req
178. robotics, nano-robotics,
Copy !req
179. even techno-sorcery.
Copy !req
180. Not to mention
Copy !req
181. every conceivable method
of mind-control.
Copy !req
182. Cold-hard science,
a little misdirection,
Copy !req
183. and now you,
champions of stagnation,
Copy !req
184. have become
our agents of change,
Copy !req
185. forcing the human race to evolve
on a more advanced schedule,
Copy !req
186. allowing the Earth
to take its rightful place,
Copy !req
187. at the center of the Cosmos.
Copy !req
188. RT did it.
Copy !req
189. Wirelessly bypassed security first,
as soon as he arrived.
Copy !req
190. - Savage didn't know we're here.
- Move out.
Copy !req
191. The brats are aboard!
Copy !req
192. They've taken away four of my toys!
Copy !req
193. Recall all League away missions.
Copy !req
194. It's time to put these children
in their place, once and for all.
Copy !req
195. Finally!
Copy !req
196. Oh, yeah.
Hey, Vandal,
Copy !req
197. shouldn't those three
be back online by now?
Copy !req
198. What?
Copy !req
199. You'll be sorry!
Copy !req
200. The children have clearly
Copy !req
201. reverse-engineered
a Starro-Tech cure and vaccine.
Copy !req
202. So there's no point
in taking them alive.
Copy !req
203. "Goody..."
Copy !req
204. Captain Marvel, 1-5,
Copy !req
205. Icon, 2-0,
Copy !req
206. Doctor Fate, 1-7.
Copy !req
207. - (Backwards spell)
- Shazam!
Copy !req
208. Too bad Cure-Tech
doesn't work as fast as Starro Tech.
Copy !req
209. We could use these guys!
Copy !req
210. It is a small miracle Queen Mera
and Doctors Roquette, Spence and Vulko
Copy !req
211. were able to re-engineer
a cure and vaccine at all!
Copy !req
212. - Hey, if you guys aren't busy...
- On my way.
Copy !req
213. You three rendezvous
with Robin and Superboy.
Copy !req
214. I'll be right behind you.
Copy !req
215. I can save Fate from Savage,
but...
Copy !req
216. I still can't save my father
from Fate.
Copy !req
217. I'm amazed we're still alive.
Copy !req
218. It's 'cause they're
being controlled.
Copy !req
219. They're limited by whoever's
pulling their strings.
Copy !req
220. The very thing putting us in danger...
Copy !req
221. the only thing giving us a chance.
Copy !req
222. Artemis, Kid!
Copy !req
223. Now!
Copy !req
224. - Hold on!
- Holding!
Copy !req
225. Warning! Cargo bay,
venting atmosphere.
Copy !req
226. Apologies, my King.
Copy !req
227. Now!
Copy !req
228. - Can she escape your force-bubble?
- Not as she keeps punching it.
Copy !req
229. Her genetic energy
only makes it stronger.
Copy !req
230. But I'm stuck here,
anything I do risks freeing her!
Copy !req
231. Look out!
Copy !req
232. Sorry, Uncle J'onn.
Copy !req
233. You leave me no choice...
Copy !req
234. We're not gonna beat 'em
one on one!
Copy !req
235. Plan B, then.
Copy !req
236. - Sure about this?
- Just do it!
Copy !req
237. Ah, Kryptonite.
Copy !req
238. It hurts.
Copy !req
239. Which is why Batman keeps it
in a "overwhelmingly impenetrable" vault
Copy !req
240. at the Batcave.
Copy !req
241. Well... more like a
"whelmingly penetrable" vault.
Copy !req
242. Time to go.
Copy !req
243. Come on, we can take 'em!
Copy !req
244. Yes. But in the process,
you'd lose control.
Copy !req
245. Perhaps even destroy this station.
Copy !req
246. And whether or not
they're in our thrall,
Copy !req
247. "The Light" still needs
the Justice League alive,
Copy !req
248. for Phase Two.
Copy !req
249. I wouldn't "lose control".
Copy !req
250. OK, yeah...
Copy !req
251. I bring the chaos...
Copy !req
252. Congratulations, Team.
Copy !req
253. You have won the day.
Copy !req
254. Happy New Year,
Justice League!
Copy !req
255. I should've done this
a long time ago...
Copy !req
256. No kidding...
Copy !req
257. Liking this team,
more every day.
Copy !req
258. Human customs still elude me.
Copy !req
259. The Team did good work here.
Copy !req
260. YOU did good work.
Copy !req
261. Uh... thanks.
Copy !req
262. So.
I heard you took a name.
Copy !req
263. Uh, yeah.
Conner Kent.
Copy !req
264. My secret identity
is "Clark Kent".
Copy !req
265. - I didn't know! I wasn't tryin' to...
- No, thing is...
Copy !req
266. I'm glad, Conner Kent.
Copy !req
267. It seems... right.
Copy !req
268. Everything I thought I knew
about myself was a lie.
Copy !req
269. I'm not a hero.
Copy !req
270. Or a sidekick...
Copy !req
271. I'm a traitor.
Copy !req
272. - A pawn.
- Roy...
Copy !req
273. - It'll be al...
- I'm not "Roy"!
Copy !req
274. I don't know what I am.
Copy !req
275. All I know is I need to find
the real Roy.
Copy !req
276. I need to rescue Speedy.
Copy !req
277. Guardian is already searching Cadmus.
Copy !req
278. The League will arrive shortly.
Copy !req
279. Leave nothing behind
we might need.
Copy !req
280. Match, of course,
Copy !req
281. but I believe this
might still prove useful,
Copy !req
282. as well.
Copy !req
283. Something else is wrong.
Copy !req
284. The entire League was under
Savage's spell for just over a day.
Copy !req
285. We accounted for most of that time,
Copy !req
286. but these six went missing for
a full 16 hours we CAN'T account for.
Copy !req
287. Sixteen hours...
Copy !req
288. What did we do?
Copy !req
