Young Justice

Black Manta to Deathstroke.

Awaiting progress report.

Progress is slow.

Miss Martian has partially restored your son's psyche,

but he remains far from whole.

All right. Keep the manta flyer at a safe distance from the sub,

beyond the range of Miss Martian's psychic power.

He's still not himself. But then, who is?

So what's our next move?

With that inhibitor collar disabling your shape shifting

and telekinetic abilities, I'm not sure.

I guess we're lucky Deathstroke hasn't pressed a button

to block my psychic powers, too.

Or pressed another button to blow your head off,

with the explosives built into the collar.

It hardly matters.

You know Manta plans to kill me as soon as I've cured his son.

Which is why he must not learn I am already cured

until we devise some way to save M'gann's life.

Yeah, but the question is, how long can we continue to stall?

My patience has run out, Martian. You have 24 hours.

Finish curing my son, or die.

Guess that answers your question. I'm doomed either way.

Season 2: Invasion Episode 16: "Complications"

All right, what happened?

What happened to the rest of my Team?

- It's all my fault. - That assessment is inaccurate.

Just tell him what you told us.

We'd won.

We were all here in this bay, and Wondergirl had Mongul hogtied.

Then suddenly a boomtube opened up right beneath our feet.

I flew up and out. It was instinct, you know.

But before I could do anything else,

the boomtube closed, and the others were gone.

Definitely reading traces of boomtube activity.

We think Mongul may have opened the boomtube as a mean of escape,

gaining the Team as captives in the bargain.

- The Team and worse. - Impulse had the crystal key.

So the priority is making sure no one uses it to reactivate the Warworld.

Captain Marvel and Rocket are already guarding the key chamber.

And the Justice League will continue guarding it in shifts

until the key is found and the threat is ended.

- It's all my fault. - Stop.

You didn't do anything wrong. We'll figure this out.

- For now... - I will ensure he gets home safely.

No, I want to stay. I want to help.

You will help. But right now, you need rest.

Sleep. Go.

- I'm sorry. - No. Whoever did this, they'll be sorry.

Uhh!

Ooh!

I want to make one thing clear.

I'm only working with you to avenge my sister.

Yeah, 'cause you and Artemis were always so close.

Rationalize it however you want, little girl,

just handle Aqualad and leave Black Manta to me.

I need to put him down to preserve my rep.

- And that's all you care about. - Don't kid yourself, Jade.

We're not that different.

- So we're all agreed? - No, we're not.

I don't want the two of you risking exposure for me.

Instead you expect us to sit back and let you die?

No. Artemis, begin.

Deathstroke, been on duty for 12 hours straight.

I need to stretch my legs, and I need coffee.

Understood.

Take over. I'll be back in five.

- Fresh pot. - No thanks.

- This should not take long. - No, assuming she isn't caught.

This is for Artemis.

No!

You protect the man who murdered your best friend?

Cheshire, stop. You don't understand.

No, not now.

What? What don't I understand?

Deathstroke to Manta. You have an intruder aboard.

Cheshire's in your son's cabin.

Manta's Communications. Intruder alert.

Reinforcements to my son's room, now!

M'gann, what's going on? M'gann?

I'll coordinate from here. You two protect Kaldur'ahm.

Gah!

Uhh!

Uhh!

Ahh!

Uhh!

Looks like someone already got to Aqualad.

In fact, it looks like that someone was you.

Which makes you defending him even more inexplicable

and me killing him a lot less amusing.

But then again, I'm not here for the giggles.

Hyah!

Uhh!

Inhibitor collar. So no Martian powers. Pity.

Deathstroke to Tigress.

The assassin Cheshire has locked herself inside Kaldur'ahm's cabin.

The Martian's attempting to save him.

She knows if her patient dies, we have no reason to keep her alive.

But you better get back there now.

On my way.

OK, now we can talk. Ahh! Uhh.

Cheshire, stop.

All is not what it seems.

So it would appear, "Mr. Fake some mental condition". That's fine.

Killing you will be so much more satisfying now.

Wait. You seek my death because of your sister.

But Artemis is alive.

In fact, she is aboard this vessel.

Artemis is alive?

You didn't really think I'd buy that, did you?

Airlock's damaged.

Robin's birdarang .

Birdarang must have scratched Blue's armor.

Finally!

You betrayed your friends, murdered my sister.

Perhaps when I cut you open, I'll find you truly are heartless.

M'gann, the collar's deactivated. You should have all your powers back.

M'gann? M'gann!

- Tigress! To my side! - Yes, boss!

- Take him! I'm saving my son! - You won't get away that easy, Manta!

You're playing for the wrong team, girly-girl.

Game over.

Sir, we have an explosive charge ready to detonate...
