Young Justice

Tye. It's almost midnight. What?

I've had enough, Jaime.

I'm done letting Maurice push me around.

I'm on the bus to Houston tonight. I'm at the depot now.

Slow down hermano.

No! Not this time.

I just called to say goodbye.

Tye, listen, I'm on my way.

I'll meet you by the statue of Cochise. We'll talk.

Just promise me you'll wait till I get there.

No promises.

Your concern for this Tye is trivial.

Our armor is intended for greater purpose.

I'm trying to stop a friend from making a massive mistake.

What greater purpose is there.

Excuse me. The bus to Houston?

You just missed it. But there'll be another one in the morning.

Investigating the origin of the alien bomb...

...that destroyed the Krolotean invasion force...

...is still a high priority.

We suspect the bomb may have been smuggled to Earth via boom tube.

Watchtower sensor scans in Bialya have recorded an uptick in boom tube activity.

Alpha squad. Your mission is...

Sneak behind enemy lines, recon known boom tube hotspots...

...and find alien tech matching the bomb.

Oh, and don't get caught or create an international incident. Right?

That about covers it.

Psimon?

We have confirmation that Bialya's telepathic enforcer's...

...still catatonic in a Quraci hospital.

After his last encounter with you.

But Bialya's dictator, Queen Bee, is another story.

Her ability to control the minds of men is...

...why Alpha is an all-female squad for this mission.

Oh really? And would you have felt the need to justify an all...

...male...

...squad for a given mission.

There's no right answer for that, is there?

So... Nightwing out.

Queen Bee isn't the only woman who can mess with a man's mind.

Jaime.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for Tye Mrs. Longshadow.

Is he home?

He was gone when I woke up this morning.

He should be at school.

He's not.

And he's not answering his cell.

Last night he called me from the bus depot.

Said he was running away to Houston.

He threatens to do that a lot, Jaime. You know that.

I know. But last night, he sounded...

It doesn't matter.

I went to the bus depot and he was gone.

But the clerk told me nobody bought a ticket for the Houston bus last night.

Nobody boarded.

There, you see?

He and Maurice, my boyfriend...

They had another of their disagreements last night.

So Tye's blowing off steam somewhere.

What kind of... disagreement ?

Maurice. You're home.

Forgot my lunch, Shelly. What's the kid doing here?

I'm looking for Tye, Mr. Bodaway.

You're ditching.

And I'm a school employee, kid.

Gonna have to report your butt to principal Sanchez.

Go ahead. I'm on a free period.

Biofeedback of this Maurice indicates hostile intent.

Recommend preemptive strike.

Don't make faces at me, kid.

Or I'll take care of you the way I took care of...

Of Tye?

Did you do something to Tye?

Why you little punk!

Attack imminent. Activating plasma cannon.

No!

Maurice didn't touch Tye last night. They had an argument and...

Tye took off.

Ran off.

Like always. Tail between his legs.

Anyway, Jaime was just leaving.

Don't mind Maurice. He's having a bad day.

I hear he has a lot of bad days.

Good ones too. Occasionally.

But I'm sure Tye is fine.

He stays with his grandfather sometimes. He's probably there now.

I hope you're right.

The other boom tube hotspots have all been busts, but...

But this much security must be guarding some big deal alien stuff, right.

Our job is to find out.

Batgirl, take the north hangar. I'll take the south.

Bee, the middle. Wonder Girl, hold position.

What? Wait, why can't I go in?

'cause You're Wonder Girl, honey. Not Stealth-er Girl.

I can do this.

No one's knocking your enthusiasm, Cass.

And if we were in a firefight...

...there's no one I'd rather have beside me.

But we're trying to avoid a fight.

And we need a lookout.

Use the psychic link only.

The Bialyans have the tech to intercept our radios.

Anything goes wrong, we scatter and meet at the rendezvous point. Clear?

Clear.

Clear.

I mean, clear.

I could have done that.

Uh-oh.

Radio's not safe.

No, psychic link's a no-go.

Gotta warn the others the hard way.

I've shut down our psychic link. But we'll need to alert the others.

You warn Bumblebee. I'll warn Batgirl.

Meet at the rendezvous point ASAP.

Hey, you did good, Cassie.

Who's Stealth-er Girl now?

Sound the alert! Lock down!

Here you go Mr. Longshadow.

Thank you, Jaime.

So, have you seen Tye?

Not in a few weeks.

But I wouldn't worry.

You see, Tye comes from a long line of Mescalero Apache chiefs.

I believe he has begun a journey of awakening that...

...will connect him to his heritage.

And show him the path to his destiny.

This Holling Longshadow appears imbalanced. Our time is wasted here.

We should interrogate The Maurice in extreme prejudice.

Uh, Wow. That's... something.

But I was thinking Tye's mom's boyfriend Maurice might have...

Oh, Maurice.

Year's ago, he was jealous of Tye's father's role as head of our band.
