(after disembarking from the Bio-Ship)
Knew I didn't need a line.
And yet, creating a seismic event may not have helped us much with the 'covert'.

We need to identify that buyer.
Just what I was thinking.
Yeah. You're the thinker.
Sarcasm? Dude. A real leader would focus on getting answers.
Did you hear that?
Uh, no... Wait! Is this a super-hearing thing?
You do have great ears.
Okay, Rob, now what? [realized Robin disappeared] Man, I hate it when he does that!
(about Bane)
So. Now 'El Luchador' is our leader.
(the Team has partnered with Bane in order to get into the factory making the Venom)
BBane
(Robin has disappeared) Has that little fool already been captured?
No. He just does that.
Stay put. I'll get our intel and be back before Boy Wonder.
(Runs off)
Wait. Kid!
(the Team and Bane have been defeated and are retreating through the hidden tunnels going out of the factory)
How can my first mission as leader go so wrong?
You do have the most experience. But perhaps that is exactly what has left you unprepared. Fighting alongside Batman, your roles are clearly defined. You two do not need to talk. But this team is new. And a leader needs to be clear, explicit. He cannot vanish and expect others to play part in an unknown plan.
Oh, so I'm supposed to hold everyone's hand? (groans) Who am I kidding? You should lead us, Kaldur. You're the only who can.
(Aqualad has been unanimously elected Team leader)
Then I accept the burden. (to Robin) Until you are ready to lift it from my shoulders. You were born to lead this team. Maybe not now- but soon.
Batman must be desperate, if he sends whelp to task me.
What's wrong, Koby? You look disconcerted.
This is beneath me. Shimmer, take him.
I know you hate getting your hands dirty.
True, but sometimes even a god must stoop to conquer. (brushes Robin aside) What's wrong boy? You look disconcerted.
I am plagued by mosquitoes!
Good, because this mosquito is mighty concerted over your pain!
(the Kobra has escaped into the woods and the fighting is over)
We picked the right guy to lead. Automatically making you the right guy to explain this mess to Batman! (laughs)
A simple recon mission. Observe and report! You'll each receive written evaluations detailing your many mistakes... Until then - good job... No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. How you adjust to the unforeseen is what determines success. And how you choose who leads determines character.
All I managed to recover is a single vial of Cobra-Venom.

The formula can be reverse-engineered, but what of these heroes? First Cadmus, then Mister Twister, now Santa Prisca.
L1L-1
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but three times is enemy action. And enemies of the Light must not stand.
(while trying to save a school bus Superboy's landing destabilizes a bus already in a precarious situation)
We don't yet know the limits of your powers.
Well, maybe you could, you know, help me figure that out.
...Batman's got that covered.
I know, but...
[Superman receives a call on his JL communicator] Superman. Wait. Arrow, slow down. What's attacking?... No, I'm definitely available. Coordinates?... Acknowledged; on my way... Sorry, Super... boy. Duty calls.
(Superman flies off cut to Bruce Wayne in his office)
Already on it Bruce.
I know Clark, we need to talk.
(Superman disconnects his communicator and continues flying)
(Black Canary is giving instruction as the Team's new combat instructor)
Now, combat is about controlling conflict. Putting the battle on your terms. You should always be acting, never reacting.
