I got... confused by um... some old movie I saw the other night. About a ninja girl whose ninja dad ordered her to kill her ninja boyfriend 'cause he was from a rival ninja clan.
So, I'm your "ninja boyfriend" huh?
Hey, amnesia, remember? I completely forgot how truly annoying you are.
Oh, like you're the Goddess of Congeniality!
RRobin
Yeesh! Get a room!
(Artemis and Robin arrive at the Cave and are immediately attacked)
RRobin
Don't know, but we're sitting ducks by the tubes. Head for the exit!
(They run for the exit and encounter a tidal wave)
(Artemis and Robin are reviewing the security video footage)
RRobin
That's it. All four are dead.
RRobin
The cameras, I meant the cameras! I'm sure the others are fine.
RRobin
We save them. That's how it works.
Maybe that's how it's supposed to work, but those robots already took out our four super-powered friends.
RRobin
You seem distraught.
M'gann is dying. We have no powers and I'm down to my last arrow. Of course I'm distraught!
RRobin
Well get traught or get dead!
RRobin
Practice. I've been doing this since I was nine.
RTRed Torpedo
Artemis. Robin.
[comes out from their hiding place] It's Red Tornado!
[Artemis encounters Red Torpedo. Red Torpedo attacks. Robin saves her]
RRobin
Yes, on the red. No, on the Tornado.
(quietly to Batman) Sportsmaster revealed the possibility of a mole within the team. In light of last night's attack, Red Tornado would appear to be the traitor. But whether he betrayed us willingly or was preprogrammed is still...
(launches himself at Aqualad) YOU KNEW? That android and his maniac family nearly killed M'Gann!
Conner, what are you doing?
Kaldur knew we had a traitor among us and said nothing!
Miss Martian, I need a telepathic link-up with the entire team, now.
Should he really still be giving us orders, and should YOU really be following them?
Oh good, Aqualad's voice in my head. I've so missed that.
RRobin
Hey, Kal'dur! KF and I were attacked by giant vultures. 'Course, since we're moles, you probably think we attacked ourselves.
If he did, he wouldn't tell you.
Superboy, are you online, or just pouting?
(Fighting a giant wolf) Busy. Call back later.
What gets me is how nonchalant is is about not telling us.
RRobin
He should be chalant. Way chalant. Extremely chalant!
How are we supposed to be a team if he doesn't trust us with his secrets?
Or if Conner doesn't expect us to take care of ourselves?
(To Robin) Did he really think you or I could've been the mole?
RRobin
We've known each other for years!
Trust is a two-way street!
And you'd know they'd hate it if we kept secrets from them!
Not that we'd ever do that. ever.
Enough!... Captain Marvel has been captured. And we must act as a team to save him!
Heh. Under your leadership? I don't think...
This is not up for debate! You all chose me to lead. When this mission is over, if you wish to select a new leader I will happily step down. But until that time, I am in command here!
[about a wolf] Can I keep him?
First the sphere, now this beast. Dude, you sure make a habit of collecting strays.
Maybe because he's such a stray himself.
RRobin
Look, I need to know, why did you keep the mole intel secret?
[pause, everyone stares at Aqualad]
The source of the tip was Sportsmaster.
WHAT? You can't trust him!
I do not. It seemed possible even likely that he was attempting to divide the team with false information.
RRobin
And given how the mission went, he almost succeeded. But you had to consider it might be true.
Yes, as leader, I did. In which case, I did not wish to alert the traitor.
RRobin
I hate to say it, but it makes sense.
I am still prepared to step down.
[raising his hand] All in favor of keeping Aqualad as leader.
[everyone raises their hand]
