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