1. Defend the tower and Lord Naga-Naga!
Copy !req
2. Kobra!
Copy !req
3. Attack!
Copy !req
4. Gotta take down Kobra,
or his transmissions
Copy !req
5. will brainwash the world
into loyal Kobra Cultists.
Copy !req
6. Outsiders, go!
Copy !req
7. Stargirl!
Behind you!
Copy !req
8. - Got her covered, boss!
Copy !req
9. Seems that
Cosmic Staff
Copy !req
10. does everything
but watch your bum.
Copy !req
11. Good save,
Windfall.
Copy !req
12. Robin's got the last
of the cultists...
Copy !req
13. So I'll take down Kobra myself!
Copy !req
14. Crushed that magic,
just in the nick of time!
Copy !req
15. Score another win
for the Outsiders!
Copy !req
16. Hey! When are
comms with Earth gonna
be reestablished?
Copy !req
17. I need to check in
with my Outsiders!
Copy !req
18. We've talked
about this, Gar.
Copy !req
19. Restoring communications
is going to take time...
Copy !req
20. And besides, Cassie's got
the Outsiders covered, right?
Copy !req
21. Right, right. Course, she does.
Copy !req
22. We're reviewing
evidence from the cave-in,
Copy !req
23. the destruction of
the communications satellite,
Copy !req
24. the explosion
at the Science Center
Copy !req
25. and the king's homicide.
It's a lot,
Copy !req
26. so we could use a hand or,
uh, a brain.
Copy !req
27. Gar, did you get
any sleep last night?
Copy !req
28. Yeah, enough.
I'm fine.
Copy !req
29. Forget it.
Copy !req
30. Prince J'emm J'axx.
Copy !req
31. You honor our family
with your visit to our home.
Copy !req
32. I came as soon as
I heard about
Copy !req
33. the cave-in that
injured Superboy.
Copy !req
34. Thank you, Prince J'emm.
But please, call me Conner.
Copy !req
35. And there's really
no need for concern.
Copy !req
36. No concern,
my green butt!
Copy !req
37. Someone nearly
murdered you yesterday!
Copy !req
38. Do you think
it's because this "someone"
Copy !req
39. learned you are investigating
my father's death?
Copy !req
40. Well, duh!
It's possible.
Copy !req
41. We've been going through
the intel you gave us
Copy !req
42. on King S'turnn's murder,
but there's a lot to process.
Copy !req
43. How many people know
we've been looking into it?
Copy !req
44. Consul-General E'dda,
and the Queen.
Copy !req
45. And the J'onzz family,
of course.
Copy !req
46. Are we sure
that's it?
Copy !req
47. Well, no.
Copy !req
48. I cannot be sure.
Copy !req
49. Psychic information
travels quickly.
Copy !req
50. That's how I learned about
the incident at the river.
Copy !req
51. You mean the attempted murder!
Copy !req
52. Gar,
please, I'll get to that.
Copy !req
53. If you would allow me
to link us all...
Copy !req
54. We searched the river bank to
find the source of the cave-in.
Copy !req
55. We found evidence of
twin burn marks.
Copy !req
56. Conner's micro-vision
confirmed a match
Copy !req
57. to the two points of impact
Copy !req
58. that caused
the Zeta-Tube explosion.
Copy !req
59. I also briefly sensed a psychic
presence near the river
Copy !req
60. that I— I couldn't locate
or identify.
Copy !req
61. So whomever blew up
the Zeta-Tube
Copy !req
62. and probably the M'arzz-Earth
Communications Satellite
Copy !req
63. is most likely behind
the attempt on your lives,
as well.
Copy !req
64. Probably. But that
doesn't necessarily mean
Copy !req
65. any of this is connected
to the death of the king.
Copy !req
66. Oh. Eh, Prince J'emm,
Copy !req
67. please allow me
to introduce you
Copy !req
68. to Sorcerer-Priestess
S'yraa S'mitt.
Copy !req
69. Yes.
We have... met before.
Copy !req
70. Superboy— Um, Conner.
Copy !req
71. I am impressed with
your investigative skills.
Copy !req
72. I would like to show you
where my father's body
was found in the palace.
Copy !req
73. Perhaps you will find
additional evidence
our guards missed.
Copy !req
74. Respectfully,
my Prince,
Copy !req
75. I must remind Conner
of his sacred duty
Copy !req
76. to help build
the Ceremonial Altar
Copy !req
77. for his upcoming wedding
to my daughter.
Copy !req
78. And before that,
Copy !req
79. we must meet his friend
B'arzz at the depot.
Copy !req
80. I'm, uh, eager to perform
my sacred duty.
Copy !req
81. But, M'aatt,
Copy !req
82. maybe you wouldn't mind
meeting B'arzz's transport
Copy !req
83. while Gar and I go to
the Palace with Prince J'emm?
Copy !req
84. Then we can meet up
with you after?
Copy !req
85. An acceptable solution.
Copy !req
86. M'gann,
now that S'yraa is here,
Copy !req
87. your sister and I
need to steal you away
Copy !req
88. to begin our sacred ritual
Copy !req
89. of building
the ceremonial canopy.
Copy !req
90. Oh, joy.
- Yes. Of course, Mother.
Copy !req
91. And since both our groups
will need transportation,
Copy !req
92. let's step outside...
Copy !req
93. Whoa!
Bio-Ship found a friend!
Copy !req
94. Not a friend...
Copy !req
95. This is her offspring.
Copy !req
96. Double whoa!
Who's the daddy?
Copy !req
97. Kinda her whole tribe.
Copy !req
98. But her species doesn't really
procreate the way we do.
Copy !req
99. It's more like cell division.
Copy !req
100. "Baby" has all of
Bio-Ship's memories,
Copy !req
101. but she's a whole new girl.
Copy !req
102. Why don't you guys
get to know her?
Copy !req
103. Ah!
Copy !req
104. I think she's... ticklish.
Copy !req
105. This is so crash!
Copy !req
106. The Premiere Building's
got nothin' on this place!
Copy !req
107. The Grand Hall
is not accustomed to...
Copy !req
108. audible displays of admiration.
Copy !req
109. Noted.
Copy !req
110. Jeez, you'd think they'd never
heard the spoken word before.
Copy !req
111. Gar...
Copy !req
112. Perhaps you should
begin your investigation near
this Fountain.
Copy !req
113. Where my father's body
was found.
Copy !req
114. The crime scene
memories you shared with us
are very helpful.
Copy !req
115. And we appreciate you
revisiting what must be
a painful scene.
Copy !req
116. But you need to know
finding new evidence
Copy !req
117. after this much time
is a real long shot.
Copy !req
118. My father believed
Copy !req
119. peace between M'arzz's
troubled races to be a...
Copy !req
120. "long shot." Still he tried.
Copy !req
121. Solving his murder may be
the first step in achieving
that peace.
Copy !req
122. We can hope so.
Copy !req
123. I'll use my infrared
and microscopic vision
to analyze the area.
Copy !req
124. I'm tasting
a lot of different Martians.
Copy !req
125. What color Martians?
Copy !req
126. A'ashenn? G'arrunn? B'lahdenn?
Copy !req
127. Every Martian
has a unique signature taste.
Copy !req
128. But there's no A'ashenn taste
or G'arrunn taste.
Copy !req
129. All you Martians basically
taste the same,
Copy !req
130. and yet you're all different.
Copy !req
131. - Fancy that.
Whoa.
Copy !req
132. What is it?
Let me guess.
Copy !req
133. You found traces of
another double laser strike,
Copy !req
134. like at the Zeta-Tube
and the cave-in!
Copy !req
135. No,
nothing like that.
Copy !req
136. It's something else.
Something familiar.
Copy !req
137. I just can't place it.
Copy !req
138. I think we've learned
all we can here.
Copy !req
139. But we'll continue reviewing
the other evidence you provided
Copy !req
140. and try to dig something up.
Copy !req
141. I hope you will
permit me to express
Copy !req
142. my gratitude for your efforts.
Copy !req
143. I was thinking,
Copy !req
144. perhaps I could
join you in building
Copy !req
145. the sacred Altar for
your wedding ceremony,
Copy !req
146. a truly historic event
for our people.
Copy !req
147. Oh that's... too much to ask.
Copy !req
148. I understand the ritual
is very taxing,
Copy !req
149. and, well, we have enough—
Copy !req
150. You know,
I was nearly married once.
Copy !req
151. It, uh... didn't work out.
Copy !req
152. Building the Altar is
an important tradition.
Copy !req
153. And you don't seem to know
many Martian males.
Copy !req
154. Well,
how can we say no?
Copy !req
155. Thank you, Prince J'emm.
Copy !req
156. Excellent!
Copy !req
157. Really?
Copy !req
158. I— I— I understand.
Copy !req
159. I understand, girl.
I— I— I do.
Copy !req
160. What is it, M'gann?
Copy !req
161. It's Bio-Ship.
Copy !req
162. She's retiring.
Copy !req
163. Baby will take us back to Earth
Copy !req
164. so that Bio-Ship can live out
her final years here on Mars.
Copy !req
165. She has been a part of
your life a long time.
Copy !req
166. How did you
bond with her?
Copy !req
167. Oh,
not this story again.
Copy !req
168. Well, I was a bit of
a sneak, actually.
Copy !req
169. Bio-Ship had been pledged
to my Uncle J'onn,
Copy !req
170. but I secretly bonded
with her before he could.
Copy !req
171. So that when
she flew J'onn to Earth
Copy !req
172. she'd, uh... let me stow away.
Copy !req
173. I'm still sorry
you felt you had to do that,
Copy !req
174. but I know life was
very hard for you here.
Copy !req
175. I know you will
miss each other,
Copy !req
176. but you can both take heart
in the extraordinary gifts
Copy !req
177. you have given one another
Copy !req
178. and the extraordinary
adventures you have shared.
Copy !req
179. A lovely sentiment.
Copy !req
180. And as your Bio-Ship
is a reflection
Copy !req
181. of your life and love,
Copy !req
182. so, too, is the wedding canopy
Copy !req
183. a reflection of we
who share your life and love.
Copy !req
184. Together, we will work
to unite disparate pieces.
Copy !req
185. And together we will
assemble a canopy
Copy !req
186. to shelter us from past discord
Copy !req
187. and shield us
against future strife.
Copy !req
188. We build this canopy
for new unions.
Copy !req
189. And re-unions as well.
Copy !req
190. It is over, Baron.
Copy !req
191. Nightwing, take all your
heroes out of my country.
Copy !req
192. - At once.
Gar? Gar.
Copy !req
193. I can't lose
another brother.
- Gar!
Copy !req
194. Hey, easy, "Snapper"!
Copy !req
195. Who were you talking about?
- What?
Copy !req
196. Just now. You were
a million miles away.
Copy !req
197. - And murmuring about—
Your Highness.
Copy !req
198. Prince J'emm,
Copy !req
199. allow me to introduce—
Copy !req
200. B'arzz O'oomm,
the former Green Beetle.
Copy !req
201. I am ashamed
of my actions
Copy !req
202. under the influence
of the Reach's Scarab.
Copy !req
203. - I apologize for—
- No apologies necessary.
Copy !req
204. Once freed from the Scarab,
Copy !req
205. you heroically helped
the Earthlings banish
Copy !req
206. the Reach from both
Earth and M'arzz.
Copy !req
207. Thank you. Conner.
Copy !req
208. Garfield. It is good
to see you again.
Copy !req
209. Thanks for coming,
B'arzz.
Copy !req
210. B'arzz O'oomm
is in the house!
Copy !req
211. Now we can get this
party started! Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Copy !req
212. Conner Kent, we have
Copy !req
213. Your mind, your body,
your spirit,
Copy !req
214. and our bond will
all be tested today.
Copy !req
215. When completed,
the Altar will stand
Copy !req
216. as a monument to
your devotion to M'gann,
Copy !req
217. as our testament
to your worthiness,
Copy !req
218. and as a symbol of your bond
with our entire family.
Copy !req
219. And the entire
Martian race.
Copy !req
220. Yeah,
no pressure there.
Copy !req
221. Listen, before all that,
Copy !req
222. we need to get Conner to
the surface for some sunlight.
Copy !req
223. He's gotta recharge
his solar cells.
Copy !req
224. That can wait, Gar.
There's no hurry.
Copy !req
225. No hurry? What if someone
takes a shot at us again?
Copy !req
226. See, Gar?
Baby's got us covered.
Copy !req
227. View each crystal
Copy !req
228. as a reflection of us
as individuals,
Copy !req
229. the canopy as a reflection
of our family, our people,
Copy !req
230. whether A'ashenn, G'arrunn,
B'lahdenn or Y'ellonn.
Copy !req
231. Let this joining of
sacred elements
Copy !req
232. serve to strengthen
our joined hearts and minds.
Copy !req
233. S'yraa, if I may ask,
Copy !req
234. you said you only joined
the order recently.
Copy !req
235. Was that after your time
with Prince J'emm?
Copy !req
236. You— You—
you invaded my mind?
Copy !req
237. No. No.
I've studied body language.
Copy !req
238. I could see you two
had... a history.
Copy !req
239. Our hearts
were joined.
Copy !req
240. For a time.
Copy !req
241. But I was G'arrunn,
and he was the Prince.
Copy !req
242. Ah. I understand.
Copy !req
243. You guys okay?
Copy !req
244. I know Martians
and heat don't mix.
Copy !req
245. We will
endure this trial
Copy !req
246. to honor our sacred obligation.
Copy !req
247. Although Garfield's
Ma'alefa'ak form
Copy !req
248. is unnerving to say the least.
Copy !req
249. Yeah, when Gar
took that form in town,
Copy !req
250. the crowd went nuts.
Copy !req
251. - You sure you're all right?
Leave me alone!
Copy !req
252. I— I'm fine.
Copy !req
253. - It's just really hot.
Okay...
Copy !req
254. Wow!
Copy !req
255. M'aatt, your guidance
and strength
Copy !req
256. through this ritual
is an inspiration.
Copy !req
257. Thank you, son.
I am truly honored
Copy !req
258. to partake in these rites
for you and my daughter.
Copy !req
259. Did you do this
with J'ann's family
when you were married?
Copy !req
260. Well... no.
Copy !req
261. J'ann's entire family
disowned her
for marrying an A'ashenn.
Copy !req
262. Except for J'onn.
Copy !req
263. His time on Earth
changed him for the better.
Copy !req
264. Oh, I'm... so sorry.
Copy !req
265. But it's good to hear J'onn
learned racial tolerance
Copy !req
266. on Earth of all places.
Copy !req
267. It's not exactly something
humans are known for.
Copy !req
268. He did not simply
learn tolerance.
Copy !req
269. That is insufficient.
Copy !req
270. He learned acceptance, empathy.
Copy !req
271. You escaped
the cave-in, Superboy.
Copy !req
272. But now you're
truly vulnerable.
Copy !req
273. Now I can finally
take my revenge
Copy !req
274. for the secrets
you kept from me!
Copy !req
275. Something is wrong.
Copy !req
276. I cannot
feel his mind.
Copy !req
277. Burn in hell, Superboy.
Copy !req
278. Superboy!
Look out!
Copy !req
279. I got ya, Conner.
Copy !req
280. Gotcha covered.
Copy !req
281. Gonna get you outta here, SB.
Copy !req
282. Up to the sun to recharge!
Copy !req
283. - So Brion can't hurt you!
No, Garfield, stop!
Copy !req
284. In his weakened state,
Copy !req
285. Conner cannot survive
the surface of M'arzz!
Copy !req
286. Oh. Such a splendid
wedding canopy!
Copy !req
287. Such beauty
you have all created.
Copy !req
288. I didn't bother
with a canopy
Copy !req
289. at either of my weddings, even.
Copy !req
290. "Even?"
What's that supposed to mean?
Copy !req
291. Oh, come on, M'gann.
Copy !req
292. You're only doing this
to please Mom and Dad.
Copy !req
293. That's not true.
Copy !req
294. Our traditions mean
something to me.
Copy !req
295. - The beauty. The faith...
Oh.
Copy !req
296. Don't pretend you care about
Martian religious orthodoxy.
Copy !req
297. If you did, "Miss Martian"
Copy !req
298. wouldn't be marrying
"Mister Earthling."
Copy !req
299. Daughters,
please, now is not—
Copy !req
300. Okay, first off,
Conner identifies
as half-Kryptonian.
Copy !req
301. Second. Don't you mean,
"Miss A'ashenn"
Copy !req
302. wouldn't be marrying
an Earthling?
Copy !req
303. I am not a racist,
M'gann.
Copy !req
304. We are out of synch.
We must calm—
No?
Copy !req
305. Is that why M'ree M'orzz
became Em'ree J'onzz?
Copy !req
306. Face it, you didn't switch
to Mom's name,
Copy !req
307. you switched to
a G'arrunn name.
Copy !req
308. Because I'm a realist.
Oh, please.
Copy !req
309. You've always been ashamed
of me, of M'comm, of Dad.
Copy !req
310. I'm ashamed?
Copy !req
311. - Look at you!
At me?
Copy !req
312. I took this form
to make your friends
feel comfortable.
Copy !req
313. No one asked you
to do that!
Copy !req
314. But you're ashamed to even
be seen as a Martian!
Copy !req
315. "This" is not me.
Copy !req
316. - Not who I am inside.
Copy !req
317. And I'm done pretending
I'm something I'm not
Copy !req
318. just to make you
more comfortable.
Copy !req
319. Em'ree, when we were kids,
Copy !req
320. you saw what was happening
to M'comm and I.
Copy !req
321. How we were bullied.
Copy !req
322. But you didn't want
to risk your popularity
with the G'arrunns.
Copy !req
323. You were our big sister.
Copy !req
324. You should have protected us.
Copy !req
325. I was just a kid, too.
Copy !req
326. I was a child, too.
Copy !req
327. When you were a child,
Copy !req
328. you would sometimes shift
your skin to G'arrunn,
Copy !req
329. trying to pass.
Copy !req
330. It never worked, of course.
Copy !req
331. Everyone knew
you were A'ashenn.
Copy !req
332. But just now,
Copy !req
333. when you took your old form,
Copy !req
334. the form you were born to...
Copy !req
335. it felt just
as psychically false.
Copy !req
336. This is your true form, M'gann.
Copy !req
337. I'm so sorry I never
understood that before.
Copy !req
338. I know
this has been difficult.
Copy !req
339. But just having these
conversations proves
Copy !req
340. you possess
a strong family bond.
Copy !req
341. You are truly blessed.
Copy !req
342. Now... shall we start again?
Copy !req
343. I will kill you both
for failing me!
Copy !req
344. I'll boil the flesh
from your bones!
Copy !req
345. No, no.
Copy !req
346. No! Where's the sun?
Copy !req
347. I can't fail him, too.
Copy !req
348. Conner! I'll find the sun
and come back for you!
Copy !req
349. No! Gar, don't run off!
Copy !req
350. Not good.
Copy !req
351. No, no, no!
Copy !req
352. You will never escape me.
Copy !req
353. Never!
Copy !req
354. To the right!
I see Garfield.
Copy !req
355. He has reached
the surface. Hurry!
Copy !req
356. Gar...
Copy !req
357. gotta find...
Copy !req
358. He's out of air.
- Gar...
Copy !req
359. Restore his environment.
I'll be back with Garfield.
Copy !req
360. Prince J'emm,
it's too dangerous.
Copy !req
361. - Let me search—
Seal the hatch.
Copy !req
362. I... I...
I failed Conner,
Copy !req
363. just... just like
I failed you, Brion.
Copy !req
364. First, you!
Copy !req
365. Then Superboy.
Copy !req
366. Brion isn't here,
Garfield.
Copy !req
367. He isn't real.
Copy !req
368. When you turned into
a Ma'alefa'ak beast
Copy !req
369. during the riot,
you scared the mob.
Copy !req
370. They lashed out at you
with multiple brain-blasts,
Copy !req
371. leaving you
psychically "bruised."
Copy !req
372. No, I failed them.
Copy !req
373. I... I...
Copy !req
374. I failed them all.
Copy !req
375. You're the leader
of the Outsiders,
Copy !req
376. a family that you built.
Copy !req
377. You're afraid of
losing that family
Copy !req
378. like you lost your mom
and Rita and Wally.
Copy !req
379. Brion was the first loss
of your new family.
Copy !req
380. So you feel responsible.
Copy !req
381. But no leader can
control everything,
Copy !req
382. and Brion made his own choices.
Copy !req
383. To the extent he was
making choices at all.
Copy !req
384. Please, Gar,
let me heal your mind.
Copy !req
385. I'm repairing
the psychic damage.
Copy !req
386. But this is just a start.
Copy !req
387. The mental and emotional
trauma is still there
Copy !req
388. and requires treatment
which you must seek out.
Copy !req
389. Where's Gar? Where's J'emm?
Copy !req
390. - Gar!
Conner!
Copy !req
391. Man, for a minute,
I thought I'd lost you, too.
Copy !req
392. Brother, I'm not
going anywhere.
Copy !req
393. Uh. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
394. I lost it. My—
Copy !req
395. My brain was ma'al moded.
Copy !req
396. But M'gann, she reached out
from wherever she is
Copy !req
397. and she fixed me.
Copy !req
398. Gar?
I didn't do anything.
Copy !req
399. I feel horrible about it,
but I...
Copy !req
400. I didn't even realize
you were hurting.
Copy !req
401. But if... if you
didn't fix my head, then...
Copy !req
402. Checking.
Copy !req
403. Whoever it was did repair
the psychic damage
Copy !req
404. and left no nasty surprises
behind, either.
Copy !req
405. What?
- I recognize the mind-touch.
Copy !req
406. It's the same signature
I sensed at yesterday's
cave-in.
Copy !req
407. So whoever tried to kill us...
Copy !req
408. saved me?
Copy !req
409. Nice work, Cham.
Copy !req
410. They might not have found
Superboy in time without you.
Copy !req
411. And Beast Boy?
Copy !req
412. I thought we weren't supposed
to intervene on anything
Copy !req
413. except, you know,
the one big thing.
Copy !req
414. The history books
don't mention this incident
one way or another.
Copy !req
415. Maybe we always intervened.
Copy !req
416. Garfield was hurting.
I had to help.
Copy !req
417. Or else why do we do this?
Copy !req
418. You did
great today, Baby!
Copy !req
419. Totally had us covered.
Copy !req
420. I'm happy you're part
of our family now.
Copy !req
421. But I'm gonna miss you, girl.
Copy !req
422. I guess I'll just have to
learn how to accept it.
Copy !req
423. Not sure how Forager's
gonna take it, though.
Copy !req
424. Conner will be okay,
Lois. I trust him
and M'gann and Gar
Copy !req
425. to handle whatever
comes their way.
Copy !req
426. Plus the Javelin
will be here soon
Copy !req
427. - to take us to Mars to help.
Copy !req
428. J'onn and I might even get
there in time for the wedding.
Copy !req
429. - I miss you and Jonny, too.
Copy !req
430. - Looking down at you both
right now, actually.
Copy !req
431. No, I am not on the Watchtower
just to avoid diaper duty.
Copy !req
432. - I—
Copy !req
433. Well, yeah, he's taking
his time potty training.
Copy !req
434. But Iris said
that's perfectly normal.
Copy !req
435. - Especially for boys.
Copy !req
436. Hmm?
Copy !req
437. He escaped his diaper again?
Copy !req
438. You found poop on the ceiling?
Copy !req
439. No, Kryptonian poop
does not defy gravity.
Copy !req
440. But if his powers
are awakening,
Copy !req
441. - if he's learning to hover—
Copy !req
442. Wait, I heard crying.
Is he crying?
Copy !req
443. Is he cranky?
Copy !req
444. Lois, his eyes... are they red?
Copy !req
445. Glowing red?
No? Did you say no?
Copy !req
446. - Lois, you're breaking up.
Copy !req
447. Lois? Lois! Can you hear me?
Copy !req
448. Lois? Cyborg,
I need a boom tube.
Copy !req
449. Now!
