1. - You okay?
- It is hard.
Copy !req
2. We have done our duty.
Copy !req
3. Notified Conner's friends
and family,
Copy !req
4. attended multiple
memorial services,
Copy !req
5. and the lighting
of this hologram.
Copy !req
6. Yet, it still does not
seem real.
Copy !req
7. Maybe you need to
take a moment to process.
Copy !req
8. You know, when Tula died,
you never had time to mourn.
Copy !req
9. Instead, you immediately went
undercover with Black Manta.
Copy !req
10. And when Wally died,
I was a total jerk,
Copy !req
11. and dumped the whole team
on you,
Copy !req
12. not thinking about
your grief at all.
Copy !req
13. I understood.
Copy !req
14. And Aquaman resigned,
Copy !req
15. and you not only took up
his mantle,
Copy !req
16. but lead the Justice League
through some of
its darkest hours.
Copy !req
17. And now Conner?
Copy !req
18. Kaldur, you've always been
the leader, the adult,
Copy !req
19. the rock we all lean on,
Copy !req
20. but maybe you need to
take a break,
Copy !req
21. before all this breaks you.
Copy !req
22. No, I will be fine.
I have to be.
Copy !req
23. Thank you for your concern,
Copy !req
24. but I have
a conference tomorrow
in Poseidonis
Copy !req
25. which I must prepare for.
Copy !req
26. Delegates of
the great city-states
of Atlantis,
Copy !req
27. I welcome you to
the opening ceremonies
Copy !req
28. of our annual conference.
Copy !req
29. Since we have new faces here,
Copy !req
30. allow me to introduce
my cabinet.
Copy !req
31. Mera Nereus, Princess of Xebel,
Copy !req
32. Queen of Atlantis,
Copy !req
33. Headmistress of
the Conservatory of Sorcery,
Copy !req
34. and Minister of Magic.
Copy !req
35. Vulko of Poseidonis,
Minister of Science.
Copy !req
36. Commander Ondine of Poseidonis,
Minister of Security.
Copy !req
37. Garth of Crastinus,
Minister of Diplomacy.
Copy !req
38. And Kaldur'ahm of Shayeris,
Copy !req
39. Aquaman of the Justice League,
Copy !req
40. and Minister of Justice.
Copy !req
41. And now, if the delegates
would be so kind.
Copy !req
42. I am Lord Ronal of Crastinus
in the Arctic Ocean.
Copy !req
43. Prime Minister Topo
of Lemuria
in the North Pacific.
Copy !req
44. Emissary Coral of Neptunos
in the South Pacific.
Copy !req
45. I am Nanaue Sha'ark,
Copy !req
46. King of Nanauve
and the Southern Ocean.
Copy !req
47. General Lori Lemaris
of Tritonis
in the Indian Ocean.
Copy !req
48. First Citizen Calvin Durham
of Shayeris
in the North Atlantic.
Copy !req
49. And from Xebel
in the South Atlantic,
Copy !req
50. no one.
Copy !req
51. Xebel insults us
with this absence.
I'm leaving.
Copy !req
52. Seems a shame to depart
without accomplishing anything.
Copy !req
53. My friends, I am certain
the delegate from Xebel
will join us
Copy !req
54. by the time
the conference proper
begins tomorrow.
Copy !req
55. We did have plans for this day,
Copy !req
56. but let us adjourn.
Copy !req
57. We invite you all to
sample the pleasures
of Poseidonis.
Copy !req
58. See how Orin
flaunts the wealth
of Poseidonis to shame us.
Copy !req
59. You must contact
your father again.
Copy !req
60. He must send someone.
Copy !req
61. Anyone who can be here
by tomorrow.
Copy !req
62. I will try.
Copy !req
63. Artur, help me.
Copy !req
64. I'm completely surrounded.
Copy !req
65. Never fear, La'gaan.
Copy !req
66. Aquaboy will save you.
Copy !req
67. Neptune's beard.
You saved me, Aquaboy.
Copy !req
68. You're a hero.
Copy !req
69. Hi.
How did it go?
Copy !req
70. As expected.
Copy !req
71. And, as expected,
Copy !req
72. you are going to be
a wonderful father.
Copy !req
73. You'll do all right.
Copy !req
74. We appreciate you keeping
an eye on the prince.
Copy !req
75. He was keeping an eye on me.
Copy !req
76. Aquaboy keeps his eyes
on everyone.
Copy !req
77. I will see you
back at the palace.
Copy !req
78. Where's Mother going?
Copy !req
79. To talk to your grandfather.
Copy !req
80. - Uh-oh.
- Uh-oh, indeed. Come on.
Copy !req
81. - Up for a night on the town?
- A short one.
Copy !req
82. - I get tired.
- Lori, General Lemaris, wait.
Copy !req
83. - You are off duty?
- For the night, yes.
Copy !req
84. A year ago,
Copy !req
85. I never would have believed
I could have this life.
Copy !req
86. What say
you show Delphis around?
Copy !req
87. She rarely gets to
see Poseidonis.
Copy !req
88. Uh, Sha'lain'a, I'm sure
Kaldur and Wyynde...
Copy !req
89. - Would love to host you.
- It would be our pleasure.
Copy !req
90. Always.
Copy !req
91. Whoa, that bomb really
knocked me for a loop.
Copy !req
92. M'gann?
Copy !req
93. M'gann, where are you?
Copy !req
94. Uh...
Copy !req
95. Or where am I?
Copy !req
96. M'gann.
Copy !req
97. Our mental link... is severed.
Copy !req
98. Hey... Hey, are you okay?
Copy !req
99. Ma'al.
Copy !req
100. No heat signatures
for either of us.
Copy !req
101. That's impossible. Unless...
Copy !req
102. Are we dead?
Copy !req
103. Ah, this is amazing.
Copy !req
104. Poseidonis is so much shinier
than Shayeris.
Copy !req
105. That is one source of trouble
between the city-states,
is it not?
Copy !req
106. The conflict between the haves
and have nots?
Copy !req
107. Mm, I saw the same thing
in Mumbai.
Copy !req
108. Indeed. Bridging those gaps
Copy !req
109. is one of King Orin's
greatest challenges.
Copy !req
110. Save politics
for the conference.
Copy !req
111. Algae, anyone?
Copy !req
112. Three orders of Black Gold. Enjoy.
Copy !req
113. Thank you, Minkis. We will.
Copy !req
114. Uh, how do I...
Copy !req
115. Simply squeeze and chew.
Copy !req
116. Whoa! It's good.
Copy !req
117. Go easy.
Copy !req
118. Wyynde always orders
the hard stuff.
Copy !req
119. Why bother with anything else?
Copy !req
120. It is still hilarious
that one can get drunk
on algae.
Copy !req
121. - I should go say hello.
- We all should.
Copy !req
122. Kaldur'ahm.
Copy !req
123. Lori Lemaris.
Copy !req
124. Allow me to introduce you
to our friend, Delphis.
Copy !req
125. Hello, Delphis,
lovely to meet you.
Copy !req
126. You look well, Lori.
Copy !req
127. And you look the same, Wyynde.
Copy !req
128. Like an eel eager to
slither back to Orm
Copy !req
129. now that he has escaped
from prison.
Copy !req
130. Lori, please,
that was ten years ago.
Copy !req
131. Wyynde was young, impressionable.
Copy !req
132. An idiot. A Purist idiot.
Copy !req
133. I am ashamed of my actions,
Copy !req
134. even my thoughts, back then.
Copy !req
135. And someday I hope to
prove to you that
I have changed.
Copy !req
136. Well, if Kaldur loves you,
Copy !req
137. I suppose there's hope.
Copy !req
138. Well, if it isn't
the little General.
Copy !req
139. Get drunk
somewhere else, Sha'ark.
Copy !req
140. Finally, you show some teeth.
Copy !req
141. If only the rest of Tritonis
Copy !req
142. had your mettle
when I annexed
its lower territory.
Copy !req
143. You attacked
without provocation.
Copy !req
144. Weakness is
its own provocation, chum.
Copy !req
145. Ah-poh-shohn!
Copy !req
146. Now, this is
my kind of diplomacy.
Copy !req
147. Stop this!
Copy !req
148. We are here to put
old conflicts behind us.
Copy !req
149. Save your grievances
for the delegates' table.
Copy !req
150. You must not forget,
Copy !req
151. we were all friends
and schoolmates once.
Copy !req
152. Hm. I respect
your strength, schoolmate,
Copy !req
153. but don't hold out
too much hope
for tomorrow's conference.
Copy !req
154. Our High King needs
more than a translation spell
Copy !req
155. to understand our grievances.
Copy !req
156. For once, I am forced to agree.
Copy !req
157. Gabrielle?
Copy !req
158. No, I mean Violet.
Copy !req
159. I had no wish to
startle you, mo— Madia...
Copy !req
160. Mrs. Daou, or Dr. Daou.
Copy !req
161. Uh, it's fine.
Copy !req
162. I know it must be strange
to see...
Copy !req
163. Yes, strange.
Copy !req
164. But I'm glad you came.
Copy !req
165. I wanted to thank you.
Copy !req
166. I believe Samad and I
owe our visas to you.
Copy !req
167. Oh, it was
Secretary General Troia.
Copy !req
168. Who only knew about us
because of you, correct?
Copy !req
169. Please, come in.
Copy !req
170. - Thanks.
- You just missed Samad.
Copy !req
171. Did I?
Copy !req
172. Um, how is he?
Copy !req
173. He has a new job
on a fishing boat.
Copy !req
174. This child of the desert
has never fished
a day in his life,
Copy !req
175. but he seems to love it.
Copy !req
176. And how are you doing?
Copy !req
177. Well, I was an eye surgeon
in Qurac before the war.
Copy !req
178. Now I sell sunglasses
at the Sunglass Igloo.
Copy !req
179. I'm hoping
my medical credentials
will transfer,
Copy !req
180. but for now, it's a living.
Copy !req
181. Is... there a reason
you came by?
Copy !req
182. The thing is,
Copy !req
183. I know Gabrielle's faith
was very important to her,
Copy !req
184. and I wanted to explore
Copy !req
185. whether Islam
might hold meaning for me.
Copy !req
186. Uh... Oh?
Well, I'd love to help you.
Copy !req
187. What would you like to know?
Copy !req
188. Was he really the best
we could get?
Copy !req
189. It was all I could do
to get my father to send him.
Copy !req
190. I hereby call
this conference to order,
Copy !req
191. and welcome the delegate
from Xebel. Bishop Beluga.
Copy !req
192. King Nereus continues to
mock us
Copy !req
193. by sending one
so insignificant.
Copy !req
194. More experienced leaders
would be here
Copy !req
195. if Nanauve wasn't killing them
in raids staged across
our borders.
Copy !req
196. I'll take that as a compliment.
Copy !req
197. We have lost
some of the old guard
to recent battle.
Copy !req
198. While others have
voluntarily stepped down
Copy !req
199. in accordance with
our teachings and prophecies.
Copy !req
200. We are here to discuss
many issues,
Copy !req
201. including increased hostility
between our borders,
Copy !req
202. and inside our algae bars.
Copy !req
203. But we must remain civil
if we hope to find solutions.
Copy !req
204. Nanauve's incursions
upon the territories...
Copy !req
205. Our waters are
warming, thanks to
Copy !req
206. your surface friends, Orin.
Copy !req
207. It's killing
my kingdom's krill,
Copy !req
208. the backbone of our food chain.
Copy !req
209. Nanauve must take
more territory to survive.
Copy !req
210. - Keep moving or die.
- Exactly!
Copy !req
211. No, I can't be dead.
Copy !req
212. I can feel my heart beat,
so I'm alive,
Copy !req
213. unless heartbeats are
just a ghostly habit.
Copy !req
214. But you've got one too.
Copy !req
215. And you're breathing.
Copy !req
216. So if we're both alive,
Copy !req
217. why can't I touch you?
Copy !req
218. I mean, the ground
feels solid enough
Copy !req
219. or is that just because
I took it for granted.
Copy !req
220. Did I take for granted
that you are a ghost
I can't touch?
Copy !req
221. Maybe if I believe
you're solid.
Copy !req
222. Okay, then.
Copy !req
223. Tell you what.
Copy !req
224. I'll believe you're alive
if you believe I'm alive.
Copy !req
225. Deal?
Copy !req
226. Um...
Copy !req
227. I'm searching for answers
to so many questions,
Copy !req
228. but maybe we can
start with the hijab.
Copy !req
229. Gabrielle wore it,
and I've been
Copy !req
230. reluctant to stop,
but I don't know why.
Copy !req
231. Why do you wear it?
Copy !req
232. Like most things of import,
the hijab is many things
to many people.
Copy !req
233. Different Muslim women wear it
for different reasons,
Copy !req
234. and some don't wear it at all.
Copy !req
235. Personally, I choose
to wear the hijab as,
Copy !req
236. a constant and comforting
reminder of my faith.
Copy !req
237. A reminder that life
on Earth is temporary.
Copy !req
238. And I must use
my time wisely
Copy !req
239. to do good and be
the best person I can be.
Copy !req
240. I imagine it's not
unlike the reasons
Copy !req
241. why your super friends
wear such a variety of symbols.
Copy !req
242. Isn't that true, Halo?
Copy !req
243. Uh... You know?
Copy !req
244. Of course, you know.
You saw the footage
from Markovia last year.
Copy !req
245. It was hard to miss...
Copy !req
246. Agh!
Copy !req
247. Ah!
Copy !req
248. This is your gift. It's...
Copy !req
249. A work in progress.
Copy !req
250. Healing other people
is difficult.
Copy !req
251. But I'm trying.
Copy !req
252. Trying is all
any of us can do.
Copy !req
253. With the hijab,
I try to invite others
Copy !req
254. to focus on more than
my outer appearance,
Copy !req
255. to look past the unrealistic
standards of society
Copy !req
256. and see the woman I am inside.
Copy !req
257. I would like to be judged on
who I am inside,
Copy !req
258. but would that still work
if I wasn't exactly a woman?
Copy !req
259. What do you mean?
Copy !req
260. I just have
so many questions.
Copy !req
261. Would it be all right to
continue to wear the hijab
while I seek answers?
Copy !req
262. Many Muslim women,
especially young women
like you,
Copy !req
263. begin wearing the hijab
inspired by family
or tradition,
Copy !req
264. before deciding why
or whether it matters to them.
Copy !req
265. In the end, you must
follow your heart.
Copy !req
266. Climate change and pollution
from the surface
Copy !req
267. is devastating our oceans.
Copy !req
268. Thought your embassy
was supposed to fix that.
Copy !req
269. It is my highest priority.
Copy !req
270. But too many surface dwellers
are foolish and stubborn,
Copy !req
271. obsessed with short-term
economic concerns
Copy !req
272. that blind them to
the larger issues
facing our planet.
Copy !req
273. We have larger issues
down here.
Copy !req
274. I left the surface world
because a lack of opportunity
created an anger
Copy !req
275. which Black Manta
was eager to exploit.
Copy !req
276. Yes, yes. We all
know your history.
Copy !req
277. How you betrayed Manta,
took his woman,
Copy !req
278. and raised his son
as your own.
Copy !req
279. Let me be clear,
my biological father
is immaterial.
Copy !req
280. Calvin Durham is my father
in every way that matters.
Copy !req
281. Indeed. For how else
does a man of his low status
Copy !req
282. and dubious history
merit this table
Copy !req
283. were he not father
to the great Kaldur'ahm.
Copy !req
284. Ronal, can you please,
for one minute,
Copy !req
285. stop being
such a pompous codfish.
Copy !req
286. I... I'm sorry.
I meant no offense.
Copy !req
287. Everything said of me is true.
Copy !req
288. My absence of options on land
caused me to make bad choices.
Copy !req
289. Now I see many of
the same problems
Copy !req
290. in Shayeris that I saw
in my native San Diego.
Copy !req
291. The wealth that
begets opportunity,
Copy !req
292. seen on easy display
in Poseidonis
Copy !req
293. is largely absent
from the other cities.
Copy !req
294. Aye, that we can agree on.
Copy !req
295. I appreciate your
directness, all of you.
Copy !req
296. I will not pretend
the way forward
will be easy,
Copy !req
297. but my Cabinet and I believe
we have viable solutions
Copy !req
298. if we work tog...
Copy !req
299. Maybe we are dead.
Copy !req
300. Maybe this is some sort of
Kryptonian afterlife.
Copy !req
301. You're not Kryptonian, are you?
Copy !req
302. Hmm. Don't even
know your name.
Copy !req
303. I gotta call you something,
Copy !req
304. Maybe... Ghosty?
Copy !req
305. Yeah, everyone tells me
I suck at naming.
Copy !req
306. Still it's better than
"Coma Girl," right?
Copy !req
307. What am I
babbling about?
Copy !req
308. I need to get you help
and there's none here.
Copy !req
309. So I guess we keep moving.
Copy !req
310. But which way?
Copy !req
311. There's only mist and rocks
for miles in every direction.
Copy !req
312. Except...
Copy !req
313. In infrared.
Copy !req
314. A heat trail.
Copy !req
315. That's something anyway.
Copy !req
316. What do you think, Ghosty?
Copy !req
317. My sentiments exactly.
Copy !req
318. Agh!
Copy !req
319. Brother, you have
made a grave error.
Copy !req
320. Do not think of me
as your brother, Orin.
Copy !req
321. I am sure I do not.
Copy !req
322. Agh!
Copy !req
323. Rodunn!
Copy !req
324. Coral, please!
The baby!
Copy !req
325. Rodunn is hurt.
I must go to my husband.
Copy !req
326. Move!
Copy !req
327. My wife and husband are there.
Copy !req
328. Coral, is he...
Is the baby.
Copy !req
329. We will all be fine
if Ocean-Master
is stopped.
Copy !req
330. The trident's too powerful.
Copy !req
331. - Agh!
- I can't maintain my construct.
Copy !req
332. Agh!
Copy !req
333. Kaldur!/ La'gann!
Copy !req
334. Time to cull...
Copy !req
335. Who dares?
Copy !req
336. What is Islam?
Copy !req
337. Again, like all faiths,
it is many things
to many people.
Copy !req
338. And the Muslim community
is hardly monolithic.
Copy !req
339. But the basic tenets
are not complicated.
Copy !req
340. There is no God but God.
Copy !req
341. No God but the creator
of the heaven and the earth
Copy !req
342. and everything.
in between.
Copy !req
343. I met one who
called herself a god.
Copy !req
344. She had tremendous power,
Copy !req
345. but was abusive,
petty, spiteful,
Copy !req
346. greedy, destructive,
Copy !req
347. poisonous.
Copy !req
348. Then she was not a god.
Copy !req
349. She was not God.
Copy !req
350. God would never cause
such pain and hardship,
nor condone such abuse.
Copy !req
351. Then what is God?
Copy !req
352. In our teachings,
Copy !req
353. God has 99 names,
including Al-Rahim,
The Most Compassionate.
Copy !req
354. Al-Ra'uf, The Most Merciful,
Copy !req
355. and Al-Hafiz,
The Protector.
Copy !req
356. These are all attributes
you may reflect upon
Copy !req
357. should you continue
this journey.
Copy !req
358. I found I was proud of you
for turning down
Copy !req
359. King Brion's offer
to be his queen.
Copy !req
360. I believe you are
on a good path,
Copy !req
361. and I believe
I would like to see
Copy !req
362. where this path leads you.
Copy !req
363. Wherever it leads you.
Copy !req
364. Thank you.
Copy !req
365. Where's the man who saved us?
Copy !req
366. Who was he?
Copy !req
367. He had power.
Copy !req
368. True power.
Copy !req
369. Orin, the Prophecy.
Copy !req
370. We'll discuss it later.
Copy !req
371. Poseidonis needs us.
Copy !req
372. Are you all right?
Copy !req
373. I am fine.
Copy !req
374. I have to be.
Copy !req
375. Ocean-Master is out there
Copy !req
376. and we must find him.
Copy !req
377. Who was that man?
Copy !req
378. Who in all the Seven Seas
Copy !req
379. could command such power
and defeat me?
Copy !req
380. I do not know,
but please calm yourself.
Copy !req
381. You are injured.
Copy !req
382. And in the end,
you will triumph,
my Prince.
Copy !req
383. Do not call me Prince!

384. I reject that title.
Copy !req
385. Now and forever,
Copy !req
386. I am Orm, the Ocean-Master.
Copy !req
387. It went well,
but the search for
any answer reminds me
Copy !req
388. of how many more
questions I have.
Copy !req
389. Like what?
Copy !req
390. I have been
considering my gender.
Copy !req
391. And I believe it's time
I decide upon my
preferred pronouns.
Copy !req
392. Okay, cool.
Copy !req
393. Uh, what are you thinking?
Copy !req
394. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
395. I am not troubled
by she and her.
Copy !req
396. Yet, perhaps they and them
are a better fit for me?
Copy !req
397. The whole point is
for you to decide
what fits you best.
Copy !req
398. Hmm.
Copy !req

I am the sum of both
Gabrielle and Motherbox,

is non-binary
Copy !req
401. neither just female
nor just male.
Copy !req
402. So I believe I prefer "they."
Copy !req
403. That's great!
Copy !req
404. World, allow me
to introduce you
to Violet Harper.
Copy !req
405. They are the best person
I know.
Copy !req
406. Hello, world.
Nice to meet you.
