1. Okay, Garfield,
you called this meeting.
Copy !req
2. And I appreciate
you hearing me out.
Copy !req
3. Kaldur, though the Justice
League ranks are divided,
Copy !req
4. you stand center-stage
defending a world
Copy !req
5. seemingly committed
to stopping your good works.
Copy !req
6. And, M'gann, you lead the team
against our adversaries
Copy !req
7. while avoiding the spotlight.
Copy !req
8. Despite all obstacles,
Copy !req
9. you're both making a difference.
Copy !req
10. But something is missing.
Copy !req
11. Okay, I'll bite.
What?
Copy !req
12. A public version of the team.
Copy !req
13. Young heroes rebelling
against the system
Copy !req
14. to fight the good fight
in clear view.
Copy !req
15. No, we do not put
those kinds of targets
Copy !req
16. on our underage heroes.
Copy !req
17. That is what
the Justice League is for.
Copy !req
18. The League can't do what we need
Copy !req
19. because you're playing
on the Light's game board.
Copy !req
20. Have you seen
the headlines lately?
Copy !req
21. Lex Luthor's grip
on the United Nation,
Copy !req
22. the public fear of meta-humans,
Copy !req
23. meta-teen trafficking.
Copy !req
24. Bad guys like Granny Goodness
and Baron Bedlam
Copy !req
25. are capitalizing on all of it.
Copy !req
26. We've lost the hearts and minds
Copy !req
27. of the people
we're trying to protect.
Copy !req
28. Demagogues and fearmongers
have caused folks
Copy !req
29. to give up on the heroic ideal,
Copy !req
30. the reason the Justice League
was formed in the first place.
Copy !req
31. Great, now I'm
thoroughly depressed.
Copy !req
32. Don't worry,
I've got you covered.
Copy !req
33. See, we're gonna break the
rules the League can't.
Copy !req
34. We're gonna connect with people
Copy !req
35. in ways that can't be
blocked by governments.
Copy !req
36. We're gonna quiet
the fears of the public
Copy !req
37. terrified by
the meta-gene generation.
Copy !req
38. And we'll do it all
by inspiring that generation,
Copy !req
39. because we are them,
Copy !req
40. raised alongside them
Copy !req
41. in the fallout
of a scary meta-human world.
Copy !req
42. We can be the heroes that empower
them to conquer their fears.
Copy !req
43. That's a great speech,
Gar, sincerely.
Copy !req
44. But how's that any different from
what the League's trying to do now?
Copy !req
45. The League and the Light
are fighting spin campaigns,
Copy !req
46. and the Light's winning.
Copy !req
47. That's not
what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
48. Look at this.
Copy !req
49. Without even trying,
Copy !req
50. these actions have generated
something organic,
Copy !req
51. something beyond spin.
Copy !req
52. Something that can ever emerge
Copy !req
53. from under the thumb
of Luthor or Granny.
Copy !req
54. It's something relatable.
Copy !req
55. It's something we can build on
Copy !req
56. by giving people something
they can brand,
Copy !req
57. something they can own
on social media,
Copy !req
58. something that makes them
part of the story.
Copy !req
59. We're gonna be highly mobile
and accessible.
Copy !req
60. And together, we're gonna
start a revolution.
Copy !req
61. A... A small one, anyway.
Copy !req
62. You have given us
much to consider.
Copy !req
63. No, we haven't.
Copy !req
64. Get on board
or get out of the way.
Copy !req
65. You all heard the story.
Copy !req
66. You guys built this team?
Copy !req
67. It's time to take it
to the next level.
Copy !req
68. Are you sure you're ready
for this kind of spotlight?
Copy !req
69. Green skin, can't hide.
Copy !req
70. The Reach outed me
two years ago.
Copy !req
71. Kid Flash is out too
from back in Wally's day.
Copy !req
72. Public doesn't always get
that I'm a different guy.
Copy !req
73. Plus, I never really grew out of the
whole secret ID thing anyway. You?
Copy !req
74. Markovia and the world
already know what I've become.
Copy !req
75. Now I want to show them
who I have become.
Copy !req
76. And there was no way
Copy !req
77. I was gonna let this be
a no-girl squad.
Copy !req
78. The group needed a little color.
Copy !req
79. Hey, brown skin here.
Copy !req
80. Might as well be blue
skin with that face plate.
Copy !req
81. And the rest of you?
Copy !req
82. Not ready. Not yet.
Copy !req
83. That's just fine.
Copy !req
84. I was afraid I was
losing my entire team.
Copy !req
85. And I'm guessing we're too old.
Copy !req
86. Wow, when did that happen?
Copy !req
87. Huh. So it is decided.
Copy !req
88. The covert team will now consist
of Miss Martian, Superboy, Tigress,
Copy !req
89. Halo, 13, Forager, and Tara.
Copy !req
90. While Beast Boy will lead
Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle,
Copy !req
91. Kid Flash, Static, and Geo-Force
Copy !req
92. in this new public squad.
Copy !req
93. But still, covertly answer to
the League through Miss Martian.
Copy !req
94. Agreed?
Copy !req
95. Agreed.
Copy !req
96. Oh, and there's one more thing
I got covered.
Copy !req
97. Welcome to the premier building,
Copy !req
98. the new squad's
base of operations.
Copy !req
99. I call this the Hub.
Copy !req
100. Holographic computer interface,
Copy !req
101. secured link
to Watchtower systems.
Copy !req
102. Basically, our mission room.
Copy !req
103. When not in service,
Copy !req
104. it'll double as our
super stylin' living space.
Copy !req
105. This is so crash!
Copy !req
106. And whether
you're with the squad or not,
Copy !req
107. there's enough space
upstairs for me,
Copy !req
108. Brion, Tara, Violet,
Vic, and Fred,
Copy !req
109. to have our separate bedrooms.
Copy !req
110. Finally!
Copy !req
111. I mean, thank you.
Copy !req
112. Got you covered, B.
Copy !req
113. Ooh.
Copy !req
114. And if anyone's
hungry, got that covered too.
Copy !req
115. And just like Mount Justice,
Copy !req
116. we'll eventually
have a medical bay,
Copy !req
117. a science lab, a gym,
Copy !req
118. even a Zeta Tube.
Copy !req
119. Wow, it really is starting to feel
like the Cave back in the day.
Copy !req
120. But, um...
Copy !req
121. Who's paying for all this?
Copy !req
122. Ha, Gretchen Goode.
Copy !req
123. She might still have me
locked into a contract,
Copy !req
124. but that means old Granny
has to pay me,
Copy !req
125. enough to finance the mission
to take her down.
Copy !req
126. Now that's what I call payback.
Copy !req
127. Huh? Huh?
Copy !req
128. Yeah, this is a sympathy bump.
Copy !req
129. The bedrooms are quite spacious.
Copy !req
130. I must say, I will not miss
the confines of the bio RV.
Copy !req
131. The new place is great, Gar.
Copy !req
132. But there's no way six
teenagers are gonna live here
Copy !req
133. alone and unsupervised.
Copy !req
134. Yeah, who knows
what might happen.
Copy !req
135. Ow!
Copy !req
136. Behave.
Copy !req
137. I would be happy,
Copy !req
138. honored to move in
and act as a den mother.
Copy !req
139. I'm already working with Victor,
Copy !req
140. so it would help
to stay close to him.
Copy !req
141. Plus, I've been living in a
hotel for the last four months,
Copy !req
142. and, well, it's not for me.
Copy !req
143. That would be
a tremendous help, Helga.
Copy !req
144. Thank you.
Copy !req
145. Got a bedroom with
your name on it, Doc.
Copy !req
146. Well, uh, not yet,
Copy !req
147. but let me get a pen
and an index card.
Copy !req
148. It'll be so nice
to finally be together.
Copy !req
149. Like a family.
Copy !req
150. I doubt any of us will
miss our prior accommodations.
Copy !req
151. Evening, Gaby.
Copy !req
152. Need a lift home?
Copy !req
153. No, thanks, Sheriff Maguire.
Copy !req
154. I was just on my way
to study with Big Words.
Copy !req
155. I mean Antonia.
Copy !req
156. Get down!
Copy !req
157. What... What is that?
Copy !req
158. I don't know.
We're getting out of here.
Copy !req
159. Gar, take a look at this.
Copy !req
160. It just showed up
and started shooting.
Copy !req
161. If anyone's seeing this,
please send help.
Copy !req
162. Send...
Copy !req
163. Is that a Reach ship?
Copy !req
164. Sure looks like one.
Copy !req
165. This is so loaded.
Copy !req
166. Oh, man, this could be it.
Copy !req
167. I'm hitting the Troub-Alert.
Copy !req
168. Mother of God,
Copy !req
169. that ridiculous alarm
is even louder up here!
Copy !req
170. Dude, this better not be
another Troub-Alert drill.
Copy !req
171. No drill, the Reach are back.
Copy !req
172. No, just no.
Copy !req
173. Hold up.
Copy !req
174. Looks like the League's
already on it.
Copy !req
175. Someone's here.
Copy !req
176. I think it's... Aquaman?
Copy !req
177. Ahhh!
Copy !req
178. Oh, no. Aquaman's hit!
Copy !req
179. Oh, my gosh!
Copy !req
180. Those things killed Aquaman!
Copy !req
181. Oh, no, no. No, wait.
Copy !req
182. Aquaman's okay!
Copy !req
183. Chill, Aquaman,
we got you covered.
Copy !req
184. Wow, it's Kid Flash.
Copy !req
185. And there's Blue Beetle.
Copy !req
186. A flying girl? And a...
And a green bir...
Copy !req
187. Oh, my gosh,
I think that's Garfield Logan!
Copy !req
188. Garfield Logan is in Brooklyn!
Copy !req
189. Blue, can you confirm they're Reach?
Copy !req
190. Scarab confirms it.
Copy !req
191. I can deactivate them
on contact.
Copy !req
192. But only one at a time.
Copy !req
193. Great, we'll distract
them so you can attack... Whoa!
Copy !req
194. That stung.
Copy !req
195. Oh, my spectacles.
Copy !req
196. Uh... Oh! Gratitude.
Copy !req
197. Um, stay calm, citizen,
Copy !req
198. and stay inside
while we swat these bugs.
Copy !req
199. Well, I'll be super-amalgamated.
Copy !req
200. Geo-Force, coming your way.
Copy !req
201. Consider it covered.
Copy !req
202. Whoa!
Copy !req
203. Shutdown confirmed.
Copy !req
204. Yes!
Copy !req
205. Blue's done it.
Copy !req
206. One down,
Copy !req
207. two to go.
Copy !req
208. Let's get the
pilot out of the cockpit.
Copy !req
209. I think one went down
in the park.
Copy !req
210. Please, miss,
you must get to cover.
Copy !req
211. And Kid Flash is leading
another one away.
Copy !req
212. That was
flabbergastically fabulous!
Copy !req
213. Shutdown confirmed.
Copy !req
214. Mode crashed.
Copy !req
215. Literally.
Copy !req
216. Two down, one to go.
Copy !req
217. Shutdown conf... Whoa!
Copy !req
218. Maybe it was bad idea
to do this in mid-air.
Copy !req
219. Coming in hard!
Copy !req
220. Got you covered.
Copy !req
221. That was amazing.
Copy !req
222. Can you believe it?
Copy !req
223. They saved the town
and we covered the story.
Copy !req
224. Like real reporters.
Copy !req
225. Indubitably.
Copy !req
226. It's media celebrity
Garfield Logan.
Copy !req
227. - Yes!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
228. Ah, so weird seeing
a team mission televised.
Copy !req
229. Guess we'll just
have to get used to it.
Copy !req
230. And I'll have to get used
to not having you two around.
Copy !req
231. Uh, I thought you thought
the house was too crowded.
Copy !req
232. I think we came to like crowded.
Copy !req
233. Well, Lian and I are really
gonna miss you both.
Copy !req
234. So, how about one last sleepover
Copy !req
235. with ice cream?
Copy !req
236. Garfield, you just saved us
all from the Reach.
Copy !req
237. Thank you.
Copy !req
238. First, call me Beast Boy.
Copy !req
239. Second, don't thank me,
Copy !req
240. thank my squad.
Copy !req
241. That's Static and Geo-Force.
Copy !req
242. Hey, you're that
Markovian prince.
Copy !req
243. Uh, Brian...
Copy !req
244. It's Brion Markov. Yes.
Copy !req
245. Yeah.
Copy !req
246. Here's Kid Flash
and Wonder Girl.
Copy !req
247. Wonder Girl?
Copy !req
248. As in sidekick to Wonder Woman?
Copy !req
249. We prefer "protege."
Copy !req
250. And over there is our
not-so-secret weapon
Copy !req
251. against this Reach invasion,
Copy !req
252. Blue Beetle.
Copy !req
253. I knew this didn't feel right.
Copy !req
254. This is no Reach invasion.
Copy !req
255. Look.
Copy !req
256. I am gobsmacked.
Copy !req
257. She's human.
Copy !req
258. Her name's Whisper A'Daire,
Copy !req
259. and she works for Intergang.
Copy !req
260. - They all do.
- Intergang?
Copy !req
261. Criminal organization
that deals in alien weaponry.
Copy !req
262. And we would've scored big time
Copy !req
263. if you heroes
hadn't gotten in our way.
Copy !req
264. Sheriff, arrest these
costumed delinquents.
Copy !req
265. The Justice League
did not go through
Copy !req
266. the proper channels
to be in Brooklyn.
Copy !req
267. Excuse me.
Copy !req
268. But these young heroes are not
members of the League.
Copy !req
269. Oh, so they're vigilantes?
Copy !req
270. They just saved the whole town.
Copy !req
271. Saved it?
Copy !req
272. Look what they've done
to our library.
Copy !req
273. Dad. Uncool.
Copy !req
274. Don't you "Dad" me,
Tommi Tompkins.
Copy !req
275. It's time your little
newsgirl legion
Copy !req
276. woke up and smell
the maple syrup.
Copy !req
277. Lex Luthor warned us
about your type,
Copy !req
278. and Brooklyn listened,
Copy !req
279. passed strict laws prohibiting
vigilante justice.
Copy !req
280. Laws designed to protect us
Copy !req
281. from exactly
this kind of mayhem.
Copy !req
282. Mr. Mayor,
you're making a mistake.
Copy !req
283. Sheriff, if you value
your badge,
Copy !req
284. you'll arrest these criminals.
Copy !req
285. This is outrageous.
Copy !req
286. Stand down, Geo-Force.
Copy !req
287. If we have to be arrested
to do good,
Copy !req
288. so be it.
Copy !req
289. Ugh, this is so moded.
Copy !req
290. No way.
Copy !req
291. Yes way.
I mean, look at us,
Copy !req
292. we're in shackles.
Copy !req
293. Quick, everyone
behind the warbug.
Copy !req
294. Scarab sensed the ship
lock on our position.
Copy !req
295. But it won't target Reach tech
'cause it's on autopilot
Copy !req
296. summoned by a distress signal
from the warbugs.
Copy !req
297. Hey, we didn't activate
any signals.
Copy !req
298. Didn't even know
those things had them.
Copy !req
299. Look, if I were you,
I'd call the Justice League.
Copy !req
300. We don't need meta-vigilantes,
Copy !req
301. we have
the United States Air Force,
Copy !req
302. which I called in, by the way.
Copy !req
303. - No!
- What do we do?
Copy !req
304. One thing we don't do
Copy !req
305. is wait for your military
to send reinforcements.
Copy !req
306. They'll bomb that ship
out of the sky.
Copy !req
307. And it'll crash down
and flatten your whole town.
Copy !req
308. Now will you call the League?
Copy !req
309. No, no, no!
Copy !req
310. Then I am sorry.
Copy !req
311. My hands are tied.
Copy !req
312. Mine aren't.
Just handcuffed.
Copy !req
313. Squad, it's time
for a jailbreak.
Copy !req
314. You can arrest us again
after we save your town again.
Copy !req
315. Scarab says the only way
Copy !req
316. I can shut down the ship
is from the inside.
Copy !req
317. Then we're going in.
Copy !req
318. Baby girl, oh, don't worry.
Copy !req
319. Shh, it's okay.
Copy !req
320. That thunder can't get you.
Copy !req
321. Shh, shh, it's okay.
Copy !req
322. You see how brave
Tara and Violet are?
Copy !req
323. You can be brave like them.
Copy !req
324. Oh. Baby girl, it's okay.
Copy !req
325. It's okay.
Copy !req
326. Tara, cuddle Lian.
Copy !req
327. I'll cuddle Violet.
Copy !req
328. Guess it's her
first thunderstorm too.
Copy !req
329. Oh.
Copy !req
330. Woo-hoo, we're in.
Copy !req
331. Now shut this sucker down, Blue.
Copy !req
332. Good news.
Just checked every deck,
Copy !req
333. no baddies, just their bones,
we're in no danger at all.
Copy !req
334. Uh, bad news.
Copy !req
335. The good guys are here
to blow us out of the sky.
Copy !req
336. But this ship will blow them
out of the sky,
Copy !req
337. and those jets are manned.
Copy !req
338. They're almost in range.
Copy !req
339. And it looks like the ship
has a lock on them.
Copy !req
340. - Blue?
- Good news.
Copy !req
341. I can totally cut power
to the ship's weapons.
Copy !req
342. Please, no bad news.
Please, no bad news.
Copy !req
343. Bad news?
Copy !req
344. I can only do it by deactivating
Copy !req
345. the ship's engines
at the same time.
Copy !req
346. So it crashes down
and flattens the whole town.
Copy !req
347. - Called it.
- I think the ship's about to fire.
Copy !req
348. Blue, hit the gas.
Copy !req
349. Give us enough thrust
to clear the town,
Copy !req
350. then cut the power.
Copy !req
351. We'll crash this thing
somewhere safe.
Copy !req
352. They did it!
They're moving the ship.
Copy !req
353. And it's not shooting at us.
Copy !req
354. But it's falling out of the sky.
Copy !req
355. No, it's okay.
Copy !req
356. They're crashing it
into the park.
Copy !req
357. Except they're still in there.
Copy !req
358. - Yeah! They made it.
- Yay!
Copy !req
359. As promised.
Copy !req
360. That won't be necessary, kid.
Copy !req
361. What? Why?
Copy !req
362. Brooklyn Statute 1660,
The Good Samaritan Law,
Copy !req
363. states that "Minor
and incidental harm
Copy !req
364. "done in the service of the
greater good is not a crime."
Copy !req
365. These kids and Aquaman
Copy !req
366. did way more good
than harm here today.
Copy !req
367. In the eyes of the law,
Copy !req
368. they're free to go.
Copy !req
369. Hurray!
Copy !req
370. No concept of how much that thing's
gonna cost to get out of my lake?
Copy !req
371. No concept at all!
Copy !req
372. So if you're not
the young Justice League,
Copy !req
373. then who are you?
Copy !req
374. We're something new,
Copy !req
375. here to help people.
Copy !req
376. We don't answer
to bureaucrats and bad guys
Copy !req
377. trying to twist what we do
into crimes against the system.
Copy !req
378. Those types can get on board
or get out of the way.
Copy !req
379. Wow.
Sounds like a revolution.
Copy !req
380. Maybe.
Copy !req
381. We're definitely not playing
by the insiders' rules.
Copy !req
382. We can't.
Copy !req
383. We are all outsiders.
Copy !req
384. "Outsiders."
Copy !req
385. Hmm, catchy.
Copy !req
386. Gar may really
be onto something.
Copy !req
387. Tara, can you put
Lian to bed for me?
Copy !req
388. One week ago,
Copy !req
389. I received a tip from L'gann
about a lost Reach warship
Copy !req
390. being salvaged by Intergang.
Copy !req
391. L'gann and I conducted
a raid on the ship.
Copy !req
392. We shut down
Intergang's operation.
Copy !req
393. But not before Whisper A'Daire
Copy !req
394. slipped away with three warbugs.
Copy !req
395. Thanks to Oracle,
Copy !req
396. we tracked them to a darknet
black market auction.
Copy !req
397. Whisper planned on sparking
a bidding war

Copy !req
399. Aquaman was on scene
to throw the fight,

Copy !req
401. knowing that Blue Beetle
would be our best bet
Copy !req
402. against Whisper's Reach tech.

Copy !req
405. But the Outsiders did well.

Copy !req
409. I don't think
