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?
KFKid Flash
Oh good, Aqualad's voice in my head. I've so missed that.
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.
KFKid Flash
What gets me is how nonchalant is is about not telling us.
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?
KFKid Flash
(To Robin) Did he really think you or I could've been the mole?
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!
KFKid Flash
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?
KFKid Flash
First the sphere, now this beast. Dude, you sure make a habit of collecting strays.
Maybe because he's such a stray himself.
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.
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.
I hate to say it, but it makes sense.
I am still prepared to step down.
KFKid Flash
[raising his hand] All in favor of keeping Aqualad as leader.
[everyone raises their hand]
The Justice League will handle the plants. I have a different job for the team.
[Artemis hits Kid Flash]
With the plants attacking so many locations simultaneously, there must be a central control system. Your mission is to destroy it.
You realize what you're really asking them to do?
KFKid Flash
Ready for what?
[Artemis hits Kid Flash again]
KFKid Flash
Ow! Will you cut that-?
Hello, Wally! If the big guns are fighting plants, who do you think we'll be fighting?
KFKid Flash
I don't know. I guess we'll.... Oh.
KFKid Flash
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? HOW COULD YOU LET HIM PUT ON THE HELMET? Nabu will never release him now. Kaldur will be trapped inside Dr. Fate forever.
[Fate removes his helmet]
KFKid Flash
Nabu let you go?
He almost did not. But your friend Kent was most helpful... He says "Hello."
Batman is the world's greatest detective. He's searched for Tornado and Morrow in every logical place. If we're gonna do better we need an illogical solution. A truly dumb idea.
[Everyone looks at Kid Flash]
KFKid Flash
As a matter of fact...
[arrival at Belle Reve Penitentiary to interrogate Professor Ivo]
We will target this lone ship.
KFKid Flash
Yeah, break it down, build more, hit those ugly aliens with their own mojo. Ow!
Martian and Kryptonian in the house.
KFKid Flash
Not that all aliens are automatically ugly.
And though we know all seems lost, the one thing the aliens cannot destroy is hope.
Hope survives because the battle is not over, not as long as even one of us is willing to fight.
KFKid Flash
It doesn't matter how many fall, for new heroes will always rise to carry on, bringing all the resources, their skills, their talents to defeat the enemy.
The people of Earth will survive this. We will rebuild and we will thrive. Never doubt and never forget, the earth will never surrender!
Superboy, you'll create a distraction.
NO! He's offering you as a sacrifice. Aqualad would never do that.
You're right. Aqualad would sacrifice himself. A mistake that just cost us our leader. Superboy is the most likely to be perceived as a threat. Motivating the aliens to deploy.
KFKid Flash
Worst case - he's teleported inside and we set him free along with Artemis - and, uh, Aqualad, and everyone.
[telepathically to M'Gann] It's okay, M'Gann. It's what Superman would do.
