1. So that's the plan,
my love. Okay?
Copy !req
2. Okay, Mommy.
Copy !req
3. Okay.
Copy !req
4. Stop! That's not how that goes.
Copy !req
5. Sorry. Sorry, I forgot.
Copy !req
6. Amistad, come on.
We've got to go.
Copy !req
7. Wait.
Copy !req
8. I want
a black-and-white cookie.
Copy !req
9. You just had breakfast.
It's time to go see Daddy.
Copy !req
10. Wool hat.
Copy !req
11. It's August.
You don't need a hat.
Copy !req
12. You'll be too warm in that hat.
Copy !req
13. I can't go to Daddy
without my wool hat.
Copy !req
14. Fine.
We'll look for the hat.
Copy !req
15. No hat. No hat.
Copy !req
16. No hat. No hat.
Copy !req
17. Sorry, baby,
I couldn't find it,
Copy !req
18. but Daddy can
get you a new hat.
Copy !req
19. No!
Copy !req
20. No! No, no, no!
Copy !req
21. How about that black-and-white cookie?
Copy !req
22. - Okay.
- Okay.
Copy !req
23. - Wool hat!
- No, Amistad. That's final.
Copy !req
24. Mmm.
Copy !req
25. Mmm.
Copy !req
26. She smells bad.
Copy !req
27. Excuse me, young man?
Copy !req
28. I am so sorry.
Copy !req
29. He's very sensitive
to perfumes.
Copy !req
30. He didn't mean it
the way it sounded.
Copy !req
31. I did mean it.
She does smell bad.
Copy !req
32. You can't just say
that kind of thing.
It's not polite.
Copy !req
33. It's not polite
for her to smell bad.
Copy !req
34. Your boy needs to learn
some manners.
Copy !req
35. Do not tell me
what my son needs.
Copy !req
36. Sixteenth Avenue is next.
Copy !req
37. We have to get off
at Seventeenth today.
Copy !req
38. We always get off
at Sixteenth Avenue
to go to Daddy's.
Copy !req
39. The train won't stop there
today. The station's closed
for construction.
Copy !req
40. We always get off at Sixteenth Avenue...
Copy !req
41. - to go to Daddy's.
- Next stop, Seventeenth Avenue.
Copy !req
42. Uh, we need to talk.
Copy !req
43. Hey, little man.
Now, go inside.
I left your cars out.
Copy !req
44. - Wheels up?
- You know it.
Copy !req
45. - Hard morning?
- It was fine.
Copy !req
46. You have
the Justice League codes
Copy !req
47. to reach me
if there's a problem?
Copy !req
48. Uh, about that.
Copy !req
49. We've got Amistad's
school conference next week
Copy !req
50. to go over his IEP.
Copy !req
51. Can we just stop
with the acronyms?
Copy !req
52. And no,
I won't be back in time,
Copy !req
53. but I don't see
the need for that,
Copy !req
54. and it's pointless anyway.
Copy !req
55. They just don't get him
at that school.
Copy !req
56. They don't understand
how intelligent he is.
Copy !req
57. No one's denying
he's intelligent, Raquel,
Copy !req
58. but that doesn't
change the fact that
the specialists
Copy !req
59. have diagnosed him
with autism.
Copy !req
60. He has outbursts in class
that his teachers can't handle.
Copy !req
61. Not while trying to wrangle
20 other kids.
Copy !req
62. We have to face this,
deal with it,
Copy !req
63. and get him the help he needs.
Copy !req
64. Not today. I'm already late.
Copy !req
65. Bye, my baby. I love you.
Copy !req
66. I'll be home soon.
Copy !req
67. Lost in space?
Copy !req
68. Hmm? No, we're right on course.
Copy !req
69. I can see that.
Copy !req
70. And frankly, after being
cooped up on the Javelin
for two days,
Copy !req
71. I'm ready to stretch my legs.
Copy !req
72. Is Flash ready to stretch
Flash's legs
Copy !req
73. for Flash's first mission
as a Justice Leaguer?
Copy !req
74. Yes. Nice being
the new kid for a change.
Copy !req
75. Oh, Forager can see Forager's
old Forest Hive from here.
Copy !req
76. Well, you'll have to
give me a tour
when we get down there.
Copy !req
77. This isn't
a pleasure cruise.
Copy !req
78. We're here to represent Earth
at the Summit,
Copy !req
79. get a treaty signed if we can.
Copy !req
80. Well yeah. Justice League
meets the New Gods meets
the Green Lantern Corps.
Copy !req
81. Big old Hero Summit.
A sure-fire hoot.
Copy !req
82. - Hoot?
- You heard me.
Copy !req
83. Any last minute advice
on navigating New Genesis?
Copy !req
84. Forager is unsure
what to tell Rocket.
Copy !req
85. Forager has not been to
Forager's home world
in over a year.
Copy !req
86. And Forager has never been
to Supertown before.
Copy !req
87. Forager is unsure
how useful Forager will be.
Copy !req
88. Nos Kemnos, Kagenna Danjar...
Copy !req
89. The New Gods
welcome the Justice League
to New Genesis.
Copy !req
90. Thank you.
Copy !req
91. Technically, Forager
is an Outsider.
Copy !req
92. Ready to receive
landing coordinates.
Copy !req
93. Coordinates will not
be necessary.
Copy !req
94. Simply follow the Lightray.
Copy !req
95. Welcome, honored guests.
Copy !req
96. I am Solis, called Lightray.
Copy !req
97. Allow me to introduce
Highfather Iyaza the Inheritor,
Copy !req
98. Highmother Avia
- the Wisdom-
- Bringer,
Copy !req
99. and their son Orion,
Dog of War.
Copy !req
100. Dog of War?
Copy !req
101. What brings you today,
Antinoos?
Copy !req
102. Another delivery of
drained crystals,
Captain Celestia.
Copy !req
103. Enter.
Copy !req
104. Forager is honored
to meet Highfather.
Copy !req
105. Welcome to Supertown.
Copy !req
106. The first Bug
to be so welcomed,
Copy !req
107. and...
high time, too.
Copy !req
108. The representatives
from the Green Lantern Corps
will arrive tomorrow.
Copy !req
109. In the meantime,
I will escort you
to your quarters.
Copy !req
110. This is unknown technology.
Copy !req
111. It should be confiscated
for study.
Copy !req
112. Kid, you're going to want to
rethink that policy.
Copy !req
113. My son, Rocket is
our honored guest.
Copy !req
114. Fine,
request withdrawn.
Copy !req
115. Excuse me, I...
Copy !req
116. A Bug?
Copy !req
117. How unusual.
Copy !req
118. A thief has broken into
our secured warehouse.
Copy !req
119. Hunger Dogs, hear me.
Copy !req
120. We outnumber the New Gods
on Apokolips
Copy !req
121. a thousand to one.
Copy !req
122. If we all rose up together,
Copy !req
123. we could even
overthrow Darksei—
Copy !req
124. Don't you say it, Graggin.
Copy !req
125. You'll get us all killed,
or worse, reeducated.
Copy !req
126. Now shut up, get down
and get out of my bar!
Copy !req
127. You really believe all that?
Copy !req
128. It's simple math.
Of course, I do.
Copy !req
129. No one ever taught me math
before now.
Copy !req
130. Come with me. There are others
you should meet.
Copy !req
131. - I can help.
- That's not protocol.
Copy !req
132. Come on.
Copy !req
133. It'll give you a chance to see
my unknown technology
in action.
Copy !req
134. My priorities do not include—
Copy !req
135. Help
would be appreciated.
Copy !req
136. No!
Copy !req
137. Impressive.
Copy !req
138. To time one's descent
with Supertown's trajectory
and speed
Copy !req
139. in order to drop into the lake
below required calculation
Copy !req
140. worthy of Motherbox.
Copy !req
141. The environment
has been charged
with Radion particles.
Copy !req
142. Motherbox cannot track
the thief.
Copy !req
143. Then we'll take
the direct approach.
Copy !req
144. - Let me out.
- Underwater?
Copy !req
145. Let me out... now!
Copy !req
146. You all right?
Copy !req
147. Fine. I am fine.
Copy !req
148. Great, 'cause the thief
got away.
Copy !req
149. Who are you?
Copy !req
150. I am the Superboy.
Copy !req
151. Who are you?
Copy !req
152. A genomorph.
Copy !req
153. Who are you?
Copy !req
154. A clone made from
the DNA of the Superman.
Copy !req
155. Why?
Copy !req
156. To replace Superman
should he perish.
Copy !req
157. To destroy him
should he turn from the light.
Copy !req
158. That's right, my boy.
Very good.
Copy !req
159. Thank you, Father.
Copy !req
160. A capable female.
Copy !req
161. How do you know she's female?
Copy !req
162. Is not
the Bug's gender obvious?
Copy !req
163. Why is a Bug
privy to this meeting?
Copy !req
164. This is not the Bug
that committed the crime.
Copy !req
165. And this Bug may be able to
help us catch that Bug.
Copy !req
166. Do we know
what exactly was stolen?
Copy !req
167. A Radion-powered Ruction Cell.
Copy !req
168. It must be ancient.
Copy !req
169. Five or six thousand years old
at least.
Copy !req
170. No wonder it was warehoused.
Copy !req
171. It's both obsolete
and dangerous.
Copy !req
172. Does the other Bug
know that?
Copy !req
173. I think not.
Copy !req
174. We must retrieve this Cell
before someone gets hurt.
Copy !req
175. We must search the hive
near the lake.
Copy !req
176. No. Notice the Bug's markings.
Copy !req
177. This Bug is
of the mountain hive.
Copy !req
178. Mmm, I thought
you might be useful.
Copy !req
179. We can all be useful.
Copy !req
180. What is this place?
Copy !req
181. The last stop
for the Resistance.
Copy !req
182. Parademons.
Copy !req
183. Another rebel
against Lord Darkseid.
Copy !req
184. Rebel? I never thought
of rebelling
until I heard you speak.
Copy !req
185. Mmm.
But you were susceptible.
Copy !req
186. Take this traitor
to the reeducation center.
Copy !req
187. No. No!
Copy !req
188. Very good, Ma'alefa'ak.
Copy !req
189. That's the sixteenth traitor
you've arrested.
Copy !req
190. My father is pleased and
summons you for an audience.
Copy !req
191. At last...
Copy !req
192. If Hive can
harness this device, Hive can
bring power to entire Mountain.
Copy !req
193. Forager has brought
a great gift to the
Mountain Hive.
Copy !req
194. Kadan, Forager!
Forager, Kadan!
Copy !req
195. Warning! New Gods
approach the Hive.
Copy !req
196. Stay here.
Copy !req
197. But Forager—
Copy !req
198. Forager trusts Larvae
will keep this
great prize safe.
Copy !req
199. Yes, Larvae will!
Copy !req
200. Motherbox is Radion-blocked.
Copy !req
201. The Ruction Cell
must be in the vicinity.
Copy !req
202. Don't suppose
Motherbox is blocked
in any particular direction?
Copy !req
203. I could check all those
tunnels pretty quick.
Copy !req
204. - Not Barry-
- Allen-quick, but still...
Copy !req
205. "Barry Allen"
does not translate,
Copy !req
206. yet I get the gist
and I am with you.
Copy !req
207. No. Highfather has
a rule against entering
Bug Hives without permission.
Copy !req
208. A wise rule indeed.
Copy !req
209. Bugs of the Mountain Hive,
Orion has come to retrieve
the Ruction Cell
Copy !req
210. stolen from the New Gods.
Copy !req
211. Bugs know not of
any Ruction Cell.
Copy !req
212. - Ruction Cell?
- What's a Ruction Cell?
Copy !req
213. Can Bugs eat
Ruction Cell?
Copy !req
214. There is no point
in feigning ignorance.
Copy !req
215. We know one of this
Hive's Foragers stole
our property.
Copy !req
216. - [All-
- Widow] But do not all Foragers look alike to New Gods?
Copy !req
217. How can New Gods know
that a Forager
of the Mountain Hive
Copy !req
218. stole the New God's
important Cell.
Copy !req
219. Hello. Forager is Forager.
Copy !req
220. Hello, Forager.
Copy !req
221. Forager is also Forager.
Copy !req
222. Please listen.
Your safety is at risk.
Copy !req
223. - The Ruction Cell—
- New Gods always believe New God technology
Copy !req
224. is too advanced for Bugs.
Copy !req
225. And yet Forager's friend
Rocket speaks the truth
about the Ruction Cell.
Copy !req
226. If Forager did forage Cell,
then Cell is Forager's.
Or has Forager spent so much
Copy !req
227. time with New Gods,
Forager has forgotten
what it means to forage.
Copy !req
228. Forager rolls with
Forager's Hive.
Copy !req
229. Forager assumes
Forager does the same.
Copy !req
230. But if Cell explodes,
Forager will have no Hive.
No Elders.
Copy !req
231. No Foragers.
No Larvae to roll with.
Copy !req
232. Highfather has
a rule against entering
Bug Hives without permission.
Copy !req
233. But an exception can be made
to protect life.
Copy !req
234. If New Gods even
break faith with New God rules,
Bugs will defend Hive!
Copy !req
235. Forager will bring New Gods
to the Cell.
Copy !req
236. He will?
Copy !req
237. Forager will not.
Copy !req
238. But Forager will.
Copy !req
239. No, this isn't going to get
confusing at all.
Copy !req
240. Come.
Copy !req
241. Forager will be
pleased with Larvae
Copy !req
242. for protecting Hive's
new prize!
Copy !req
243. Larvae are much like Forager!
Copy !req
244. Up in the sky, it's Superman!
Copy !req
245. Excellent work.
Copy !req
246. Always good to see
our new Superman
doing the occasional rescue.
Copy !req
247. Like this Tower,
it provides the
appropriate symbolism.
Copy !req
248. Keeps the mob cheering
now that the old Superman
Copy !req
249. and his crimes are
all but forgotten.
Copy !req
250. Is this
a job for Superman?
Copy !req
251. No.
Copy !req
252. Toyman's just doing us
a small favor.
Copy !req
253. We need to save our boy
for more important tasks.
Copy !req
254. As when he dispatched
that untrustworthy vigilante.
Copy !req
255. Or when he dismantled that
orbiting threat to all mankind.
Copy !req
256. These are the things
he excels at.
Copy !req
257. And you are excelling, my son.
Copy !req
258. But you've yet to reach
your full potential.
Copy !req
259. You know what you must do?
Copy !req
260. No, Father.
Copy !req
261. She's slowing you down, son.
Copy !req
262. - But—
- To survive, you must shed useless attachments.
Copy !req
263. Clean your slate.
Time to let her go.
Copy !req
264. Many exits
emerge from the Hive. Larvae
could have taken any one,
Copy !req
265. making Larvae's current
trajectory hard to predict.
Copy !req
266. I'll run a search pattern.
Copy !req
267. Good idea. I'll fly one.
Copy !req
268. Around Forest Hive, Larvae
favor common Larvae trails.
Where would Mountain Larvae go?
Copy !req
269. Follow Forager.
Copy !req
270. Lord Darkseid.
Copy !req
271. I have done all I was
tasked with.
Copy !req
272. Having proven my worth,
I ask you to fulfill
your promise.
Copy !req
273. Darkseid is neither amused
nor impressed with
Ma'alefa'ak's impudence.
Copy !req
274. But complete one final task
for your Dread Lord, and you
shall be granted your boon.
Copy !req
275. I await Darkseid's command.
Copy !req
276. Mantis, approach
- with the Kaizer-
- Thrall.
Copy !req
277. I assume you observe.
Copy !req
278. Show yourself.
Copy !req
279. Uhm, what is it you want
me to do?
Copy !req
280. Darkseid instructs both Mantis
and Ma'alefa'ak
Copy !req
281. to follow this one's orders
as if they were Darkseid's own.
Copy !req
282. I know Mantis.
Copy !req
283. Who are you?
Copy !req
284. - I am Lor. Lor-
- Zod.
Copy !req
285. - Ooh!
- What did Larva do?
Copy !req
286. Larva did nothing!
Larva swears.
Copy !req
287. Stop what you're doing
and return the Ruction Cell
to me.
Copy !req
288. New Gods have found Larvae
and will take Forager's gift!
Copy !req
289. Larvae, stop!
That device is dangerous
to Larvae and the Hive.
Copy !req
290. Drop it and run! I'll put
- a Force-
- Bubble around it!
Copy !req
291. This is New God honor?
Violence against Larvae?
Copy !req
292. Ugh, I don't know how long
we have. My tech won't bottle
that type of energy long.
Copy !req
293. Flash, get those kids
to safety!
Copy !req
294. Roger that!
Copy !req
295. - Rocket, release him!
- Are you serious?
Copy !req
296. Look at him!
Copy !req
297. Please, he's claustrophobic.
Copy !req
298. You must release him
before you do
irreparable damage.
Copy !req
299. Apologies.
Copy !req
300. It seems the
Ruction Cell is dormant now
but still dangerous.
Copy !req
301. Metron, over there, is supposed to take it to his
- "Inter-
- Dimensional Vault"
Copy !req
302. for safekeeping.
Copy !req
303. I lost control again.
Copy !req
304. Another inheritance
from my biological father.
Copy !req
305. You are not him
and never will be.
Copy !req
306. By the way, kid,
good job.
Copy !req
307. Without your insight,
we never would have found
the Cell in time.
Copy !req
308. You both did great.
Copy !req
309. I wish I had done as well.
I totally froze up
in the clutch.
Copy !req
310. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Copy !req
311. Everyone's safe after all.
Copy !req
312. That doesn't cut it.
Copy !req
313. I've got to lead
negotiations tomorrow...
Copy !req
314. And I'll be negotiating
with a monster.
Copy !req
315. It's time to shed
this last burden.
Copy !req
316. I just don't know.
Copy !req
317. What don't you know?
Copy !req
318. Talking to yourself
or someone else?
Copy !req
319. I'm guessing the latter.
Copy !req
320. Which means you're suffering
- from Zone-
- Sickness.
Copy !req
321. Hallucinating. We all
go through it.
Copy !req
322. How do I know
you're not a hallucination?
Copy !req
323. Because we've never
seen each other before.
Copy !req
324. At any rate, I don't recall
ever seeing you.
Copy !req
325. Do I look familiar?
Copy !req
326. No.
Copy !req
327. Well, that's because I'm real.
Or as real as anything gets
around here.
Copy !req
328. I'm real. You're real.
And that girl
you're carrying is real.
Copy !req
329. Anyone else is just
the sickness talking.
Copy !req
330. I can teach you
how to survive, um...
Copy !req
331. I am the Superboy.
Copy !req
332. If you say so.
Copy !req
333. My name's Dru, by the way,
— Dru-
- Zod. General Dru-
- Zod.
Copy !req
334. Every candidate up here
would make a fine recruit
Copy !req
335. into our new
Justice League reserves.
Copy !req
336. Oh, and I couldn't find
any clear pictures of them,
Copy !req
337. but the recruitment committee
should also consider Peacemaker,
Copy !req
338. Etrigan the Demon
and the Phantom Stranger.
Copy !req
339. Plus, in a real planetary
crisis, Russia has more
Rocket Reds,
Copy !req
340. and China has, well,
whatever it is they're not
telling us they have.
Copy !req
341. Orin and Diana have
both indicated
Copy !req
342. that Atlantis and the
Themyscira are potential
untapped resources, too.
Copy !req
343. We've barely scratched
the surface in either kingdom.
Copy !req
344. Same for Geranium City, perhaps.
Copy !req
345. We also want to create
cooperative plans of action
with Mars and maybe Thanagar.
Copy !req
346. And if Rocket's negotiations go
as hoped with New Genesis
and Oa as well.
Copy !req
347. The real question is Markovia.
Copy !req
348. There are heroes there,
- but can we be certain Geo-
- Force
Copy !req
349. and his Infinitors
will abide by Justice League
standards?
Copy !req
350. Last thing we want or need
is for a reserve mission
Copy !req
351. to cost us the trust
we've worked so hard to build.
Copy !req
