Young Justice

Not just the lid. The entire can.

Uhh!

Doc, we've been at this for 5 hours straight.

How about a lunch break?!

Take 20 minutes.

You heard me! I'm sick and tired of the testing!

- We all are! - M'ijo, we must continue.

- They're at it again. - Why?! Just to prove your theory?

Si , Eduardo. I spent two decades working on my Zeta beam technology

and now my son has teleportation powers?

This cannot be a coincidence.

The meta gene that Reach activated inside you must be opportunistic,

taking advantage of whatever is present in the subject's system.

Only the subject doesn't care! I want a cure, not an explanation!

You have only yourself to blame.

None of this would have happened

if you hadn't run away from your abuelo 's home in Argentina.

I thought I wanted to be with my father.

What a mistake that turned out to be.

Uh, hey, Ed, we were just passing by.

Didn't hear a thing.

Doesn't matter. Same old, same old.

Come on. Only have about 12 minutes left for lunch,

and you know how Doc Wilcox get when we're late.

This is so messed up. STAR's as bad as the Reach and worse than home.

Tye, there's no way this is as bad as the Reach .

Whatever, Newt. I just know I can't take much more of this place.

You won't have to. 'Cause we're bustin' out tonight.

Season 2: Invasion Episode 14: "Runaways"

The crates from the League have arrived for temporary storage in our vault.

Amazo body parts, salvaged from the Hall of Justice after it was destroyed.

That's enough for today.

We'll begin again promptly at 06.00 hours tomorrow.

Domo.

Please, tell me you're not serious about running.

Running, escaping, whatever you want to call it, we're gone.

This is serious. I nearly blew up Central City.

My powers may be gone now, but what if they come back,

you know, escalate out of control all over again?

What if your powers escalate? Dude, you can't control them now.

Look, I know Wilcox is a pain.

STAR is a pain, but they're trying to keep us safe.

Or at least keep the world safe from us.

I'm outta here.

- Oh, yeah. - Adios .

- Are you coming, Sam? -

That might mean "yes".

Sorry. But I can't let you do this.

Let's go.

The alarm's put the whole place on lockdown.

- Great! Now, what? - No idea.

Well, what was your escape plan?

I... I didn't actually have a chance to come up with a plan, but...

- Hey, Ed can teleport us out. - Haven't you been paying attention?

I can only teleport myself and only along sight lines.

Which makes escaping from a windowless, locked hallway somewhat difficult!

No problem. Tye will do his thing.

He'll take the roof off the building and pull us all out, right?

Wrong. I don't know how to activate "my thing". It just happens.

You kids need to come with us.

Don't think so.

Behind you...!

- Listen! This is for your own good! - Heard that before.

Uhh!

- OK, now what? - No idea.

What if it's a power outage? Hey, maybe I blew the circuit.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Hey, no power, no lockdown.

Sam, you're a genius.

Never mind. Let's go.

Look, Nightwing, I'm not too comfortable with this.

- One of those STAR kids is my buddy Tye. - Actually, I'm counting on that.

You can talk to him, convince him that right now,

until we kick the Reach off world, STAR is the safest place for them.

OK. I'm on it.

Dude, I can't believe you called your family.

No way I'm going back to mine.

Look, I know that Reach was abducting runaways, but with me, they got it wrong.

I was grabbed while waiting at a train station to meet my sister.

My folks and I, we're good, and they must be worried sick.

So, yeah, I called them.

I left a voicemail asking them to wire money

so the 4 of us can buy bus tickets to Dakota City.

- It's my hometown. - That's your plan?

How are we supposed to find a cure in Dakota City?

No idea. Except I don't really want a cure.

I like my powers.

- Dude, don't drink that! It's Reach! - Ptoo!

Ah, man...!

Just wake me when it's time to go.

I have no idea.

Uhh!

- Companero , Wilcox is here. - Oh, great.

Tye, Tye! Wake up, man. We're in trouble.

This was not in the briefing.

He... he's never manifested in astral form this large.

Wait! Hold your fire! We're here to protect them, remember?

Ah, OK. Not what I expected, but...

Everyone stay calm. The situation is under control.

- Uh! Tye! - I don't think he can hear you.

Wait! Tye, stop!

Go back to STAR. I'll handle this.

- Come on, man, wake up. - Tye!

How'd I get...

Ohh, it happened again. I thought I was dreaming.

No dream. Trust me.

I'm not here to hurt you. But you 4 need to go back to STAR.

Look, I recognize you. I know you're one of the good guys,

one of the heroes that saved us all from the Reach .

- But, dude, you just don't get it. - No, Tye, I really do.

- Jaime? - Yeah, it's me.

- But how? - It's a long story.

But it started with this scarab.

It was created by the Reach to both give me powers and control me.

So believe me, ese , I get it.

Fine. You're one of us.

Except you're flying around free as a... Beetle,

and you still expect us to be lab rats for STAR.

No more, hermano . Not for the Reach or STAR.

He's right, bro. You can't take us back there.

Tye, what's the alternative?

I let you run loose until the Reach snatches you up again?

No. We're headed to my parents' place, so they can...

Get hurt or killed trying to protect you? That's your plan?

Hai. I'll help you.

- Dude, you speak Japanese? - The scarab translates. Don't ask.

All right, new plan. I have this buddy, Green Beetle.

He helped me. I think he can help you, too.

He's not far from here. I'll take you.

You abandoned the search for my son and expect me not to worry?! Rrr!

Why did I let you talk me out of going?

Because, Doctor, you know Eduardo Jr. has a history of running away from family.

Blue Beetle will find the children and bring them back.

Ah!

Greetings, meat bags.

First things first.

Didn't want any Leaguers arriving via Zeta tube, now, did we?

Where's Amazo?

- Nightwing. ¿Que pasa? - Blue, your radio's down.

Kind of incognito at the moment, ese .
