Young Justice

I was watching through the window. That was amazing!

Can I offer you a reward?

I mean anything I've got in the store is yours dude. Anything.

Not necessary.

Your thanks are all the reward I need.

I've found him. And it's worse than we thought.

We're ready.

Zeta Shield relay satellites are all in place.

Activating satellites.

Congratulations. The Zeta Shield is now operational.

Absolutely historic.

Professor Carr.

You should have your cave-school pupil write a term paper about this.

With the Zeta Shield in place...

...no alien can teleport to our planet from off world.

Even your Strange friend won't be able to...

...travel to-and-from Rann without prior approval.

Shield's great. But it won't stop a space ship.

Or a boom tube.

What's a boom tube ?

Boom tube. An alternate means of instant transport between distant locations.

Not compatible.

Not compatible with what ?

I swear I don't understand half the things you say!

Feeling's mutual.

- Where's Nightwing? - Taken the night off.

Personal business.

Perfect.

So? Back to movie night, Angelfish?

Tag. You're it.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Con, yo! What do you...?

Taking the night off!

Personal business.

Hey, Roy. Need a hand.

No!

We think you do.

I have nothing to say to any of you.

Nothing to explain, nothing to justify!

Nothing?

It's not what it looks like.

I mean that store owner won't miss it. He offered me a reward anyway.

Besides, I deserve it!

Guy wouldn't have any of his money back if I hadn't stepped in.

Dude! Are you even listening to yourself?

Look, I need it!

I need it to find Speedy. The real Roy Harper.

A search like that is expensive.

Especially when the rest of you have all given up!

Ask. - Shh! - Ask!

- Right already, I'll ask. - Ask what?

Oh, any piece of this mission you feel like letting me in on?

Look, I know you only picked me because Gar was studying...

...and La'gaan and M'gann were... whatevering.

But I'm here, esse. And I want to help.

Yeah, OK.

The bomb Aqualad used last month to destroy Malina Island...

...was clearly of alien origin.

Obviously the Kroloteans that perished there didn't know anything about it.

So we need to figure out where it came from.

The criminal organization Intergang has a history of trafficking in alien tech...

...smuggled to Earth through boom tubes.

So I've been keeping tabs on Whisper A'Daire...

...one of Intergang's top lieutenants.

Tonight...

...her boss Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim crawled out of hiding to meet up with her.

We have both in that truck.

And it looks like they are headed for... the Hall of Justice.

Roy, I know you feel lost.

But that doesn't mean you are alone.

I'm not the one that's lost.

When was the last time you trained?

The last time you slept?

Don't even start!

I'm in the best shape of my life.

Oh, really?

Best shape of your life?

That was me holding back. Way back.

Roy.

You used to treat your body as a temple.

But now?

My body is no temple!

It's a cheap knockoff. A clone.

Can you scan that case?

Yeah, sure.

Cannot scan contents. Not compatible.

Not compatible again? What does that even mean?

Blue.

What do you mean?

Who are you talking to?

It's the scarab.

The thing stuck to my spine that gives me the armor. The powers.

It's an artificial intelligence created by Ted Kord.

You know, the previous Blue Beetle.

Yeah. I knew him. Good man.

So I hear.

Guess he was a super genius or something.

Captain Atom figures the scarab was Kord's ultimate invention.

The Light killed him before he had a chance to use it.

The scarab... advises me.

Think Jiminy Cricket... with a really bad attitude.

But it can't scan the briefcase for some reason.

Can it scan the Hall?

Ugly may be about to launch an attack against whoever's inside.

And it's shielded from my infrared vis...

Scan complete.

Hall's deserted.

What is that thing?

Don't know. But the way Sphere's reacting, I bet it's Apokoliptian.

- Meaning? - Meaning bad news. Let's go.

Company, boss.

Too little, too late.

Not compatible. Not compatible.

Blue!

Game's over, Ugly.

Time to hand over the device.

You're half right. Game is over.

Attack.

What is that thing?

Appelaxian golem.

You know, I'm bilingual. And I still have no idea what you just said!

Irrelevant. Attack.

OK! That I get.

Blue, no!

Oh, man!

They're down. Can't we kill 'em?

Nah. Trying to kill a Kryptonian could be... time consuming.

The League will be here any second. Let's just get gone.

Roy, come back to Star City.

It will be like old times.

You and me training...

...fighting crime, just hanging out, shooting the...

You're confused.

Probably thinking of the other guy.

The original. The one you stopped looking for.

Me, I'm just...

We get it. You're a clone .

But you're not... the only clone on this rooftop.

And I know from personal experience...

...how tough it was to come to grips with being a copy of someone else.

That's why I gave up my identity as Guardian.

So that I could figure out exactly who Jim Harper is supposed to be.

That's not the only thing you gave up!

Roy, you know we both spent years looking for the original Speedy.

And every one else here did the same.

We never found him...

...because the Light didn't keep him alive.

It was Cadmus policy to delete the source material.

He's dead, brother.

Which is all the more reason you have to live .

To honor the Roy that was.

How're the ears?

FINE!

Fine.

But what were you thinking using sonics against an Appelaxian?

Dude! Never even heard of an Appe-laxative before tonight!

You freshmen never do the homework.

Haven't you read the case file on the League's first mission?

Haven't you taken the guided tour of the Hall?

Those are rhetorical questions, right?

The Appelaxians were an alien race of energy beings that attacked Earth...

...twelve years ago.

They inhabited elemental host bodies...
