Young Justice

Race for lightspeed, people. I'm your very own Star Girl, Courtney Whitmore.

And today, we are rocketing across the galaxy

for another Good World Studios exclusive interview.

We're hanging out with the most transformative young actor in Hollywood,

the star of the hit sci-fi series, Space Trek: 3016.

That's right, it's Lieutenant Torque himself...

-Garfield Logan. -My friends call me Gar.

Well, just between friends, Gar,

I'm dying to know more about a certain special friend you've been seen with,

Queen Perdita of Vlatava.

What can I say?

She's my queen and I'm her fool in love.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Tell the kids at home about how you two love birds became "Gardita."

Um, well, it's not a cheerful story.

We... We met at a funeral for a fast friend of ours.

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss.

But I'm sure your friend would be happy knowing he helped unite

the hearts of his two besties.

And speaking of unifying hearts,

you've recently begun a campaign

to unify the world in vigilance against a growing threat.

Totally, Courtney.

As one of the very few openly meta-civilians in the world,

I wanna raise awareness about meta-human trafficking.

Kids our age are being targeted and kidnapped into an underground market

for meta-experimentation.

So, in solidarity, we all have to rise up and fight back.

Remember, if you see something, scream something.

Don't do this! Please! No!

You sure you recovered? -(BLACK LIGHTNING SIGHS)

-Enough, Conner needs us. -Lightning powers?

Still hoping we won't need those.

All right. (SIGHS)

We are climbing up into that ominous dark hole in the cliff to rescue our superfriend.

You are going to stay right here with our Super-Cycle.

Understand?

-Just keep her out of trouble, okay? -(SUPER-CYCLE TRILLING)

Thanks. Let's move.

Kill.

Always.

-(CLANG) -Ow! (GROANS)

You are supposed to be on my side!

I'm in.

-Status? We're two minutes out.

SB?

-(GROANS) Follow. -(BEEPS)

We're shutting this place down.

-Prepare the shipment. On it, boss. Let's go!

Receiving video.

Nightwing, stop this before they finish loading those kids.

Negative. Those pods aren't going anywhere fast on rails.

I need to locate SB and the prince first.

Activate the spy gear we planted. Might help you find him.

Might. If they weren't in a thousand pieces.

I got eyes on Ecks and... Huh.

Dr. Helga Jace.

They've got SB.

Unconscious. In a pod.

Oh, he is not going to like that.

Nope. Brion's in the next pod over.

I think they've tried to make him meta-active.

Arriving now. -Then I'm going in.

What is going on here?

Ready to move in.

Hold up. Something's happening.

-Explain yourselves. -Count Vertigo? We...

I have just spoken with His Highness,

and he gave no orders for the parting and tarring of a Prince of the Realm!

"His Highness"? Gregor?

I want answers! Now!

You lied to me!

You said this was all done by the boss' command!

I had to! His so-called "Highness" is out of control.

The things he has made us do...

But now, we have someone with the power to stop him. To stop Bedlam.

You ignorant peasant.

The plan set in motion here far exceeds your shortsighted morality.

To get what I need, I will deliver control of Markovia to him.

And you will do nothing to interfere.

If Vertigo's helping Gregor take Markovia...

It's a good bet Gregor will help Vertigo

take neighboring Vlatava in return.

Finally giving the Count the kingdom he's always wanted.

And both countries will wind up under the Light's dominion.

His Highness will be here any second to decide what to do with all of you.

Nightwing, new arrival.

Well, if it isn't Baron Bedlam himself.

One night.

I only required this organization to operate without me for one night!

So I might play the role of Regent to the King, without interruption.

But it seems that was too much to ask.

Baron DeLamb, Dr. Jace has betrayed us all.

How did I not notice that "DeLamb" is an anagram for Bedlam?

Totally should have seen this coming.

Look out!

No. No!

No kill.

So glad you didn't listen. Ah, Halo-Girl?

We can't fight him in here, it's too tight.

Then we go up. Super-Cycle, clear us out!

Helga, this betrayal will cost you more...

-Guys? We need an exit, and backup!

We'll secure the shipment. Make sure she doesn't go anywhere.

Happily, sir.

-(GRUNTS) -Don't worry, I'm here to rescue--

Out of my way!

Brion. Brion!

Come on, buddy. We need you back.

We're shutting this place down.

Destroying every ounce of tar.

I'll show you how.

-Uh, Nightwing? Working on it.

No kill!

-Nightwing! I'm working on it!

Shipment's loaded.

Take it. Now!

No, the kids...

The kids in the pods, they boom-tubed them away. We've lost them.

We have to get out of here.

Ladies and gentleman, it has come to my attention

that Prince Brion Markov is a meta-human,

working with other meta-humans

to destabilize Markovia's national security.

That is preposterous!

No, my prince.

Sad to say, I have evidence to prove it.

We've got the evidence

we need to bring down DeLamb and all of Bedlam.

Dr. Jace's testimony will seal the deal.

We lost eight kids!

Plus that Plasmus kid they had their hooks into.

We saved Artemis' friend here and the prince.

And countless other kids who would've been Bedlam's next victims.

It's not the victory we wanted,

but it is a victory.

You get away from me.

-Brion, please calm-- -No, no!

Who are you people?

What... What is happening?

Brion!

-Help me, help me! -You must calm down.

Your meta-gene has been activated.

Your body is now manipulating geologic forces.

Make it stop! Make it stop!

The more you panic, the less control you'll have.
