Aqualad quotes from Young Justice

Superboy! Are you all right?

Fine. (looking at Robin) Feeling the aster.

Help me disassemble him! NOW!

Dude. The guy has no head.

Don't take any chances!

Batman

Complications come with the job. Your ability to handle them has impressed the League.

The whole League?

Batman

Given time, yes. Kryptonians, as you know, have very hard heads

Batman

Of course, there's no shame in asking for help. That's why the League exists. Because there's some problems even we can't handle individually.

Please, if we needed help, we'd never get the chance to ask.

Look familiar? You were following us. Baby-sitting! YOU STILL DON'T TRUST US!

Batman

We didn't follow you.

And that's not your arrow... But that means...

Speedy!

He has our backs.

Dr. Serling Roquette

She's getting away! You're letting her get away!

(to Artemis) This was all your fault. You were on the perimeter! How'd that Shadow get in?

That's not really fair. I was outside too.

(to Miss Martian) Outside being distracted by her. Besides I can't be mad at you. (telepathically) You gave me mouth-to-mouth.

We heard that!

Dang it!

Stop it, both of you!

What?

I can hear you glaring!

Batman

I need to talk to Aqualad. The rest of you, hit the showers and head home.

"Head home?" I am home.

I am sorry you had to intervene. I know the team performed poorly.

Batman

The team performed adequately. The problem was you. You're their leader, and your head wasn't in the game.

No, you are [sighs] correct. Of late, I am not even convinced I belong on the surface world. For so many years, it filled my every thought. But now that I am here, my dreams are all of Atlantis.

Batman

Atlantis or someone you left behind? You can split your time between the surface and the sea. But not your mind. Either you're here 100% or you need to walk away. Make a, decision, Kaldur, and make it soon.

Cheshire is 1.67 meters.

Red Arrow

Um...

She is 5'6". And exceptionally dangerous. Do you require backup?

Red Arrow

Please. The last thing I need is the Junior Justice League.

Just our computer.

Meet Megan Morse. What's your new name?

My what?

I chose the name John Jones for myself, and suggested John Smith for Red Tornado. You could be John, too.

Pass.

Conner's has always been my favorite name.

A last name will also be required.

Perhaps... Kent.

Oh! In memory of Dr. Fate. The late Kent Nelson.

Of... course.

Okay. Sure. I guess it would be an honor or something.

Well Conner Kent, time to change your shirt; You don't want to give away your secret identity.

Will this work?

(blushing) Works for me...

Wait shouldn't it be Conner Nelson?

They grow up so fast.

Red Arrow

I can't believe we just did a solid for Lex Luthor.

Not for Luthor - for peace.

Red Arrow

Do you really think there's a mole on your team?

I cannot rule out the possibility. I will investigate... quietly.

Red Arrow

Not tell them?

I do not want the unit unraveling over baseless suspicions. If there is a mole, I do not wish to tip him or her off.

I cannot be sure if one exists. And if it does, the team is being betrayed from within. I must investigate without tipping my hand. But perhaps I should tell Batman.

Red Tornado

Generally, the Batman prefers the team to handle its own problems, but it's your decision. I will return after monitor duty on the Watchtower.

I thought you were exempt from monitor duty since becoming our... den mother.

Red Tornado

I agreed to cover for Green Arrow. He has a interpersonal event with Black Canary-- a "hot date."

(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!

You knew?

And didn't tell us?

Actually, you let everyone split up before communications were set.

They would not listen!

I guess. But back at the cave, Batman stopped everyone from fighting with just one word.

Because Batman is... Batman.

Hey, you don't have to tell me. When I first joined the League, all he did was boss me around, and it's hard not to take it personally. But, I never disobeyed an order, and that's probably what kept me alive.

Cool, a tiger! I'm gonna go see!

Captain, wait! (Captain Marvel leaves) Hey. Speed of Mercury.

Miss Martian, I need a telepathic link-up with the entire team, now.

Link established.

Artemis

Should he really still be giving us orders, and should YOU really be following them?

Please...

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.

Artemis

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.

He should be chalant. Way chalant. Extremely chalant!

Artemis

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?

We've known each other for years!

Artemis

Trust is a two-way street!

And you'd know they'd hate it if we kept secrets from them!

Artemis

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.

Look, I need to know, why did you keep the mole intel secret?

The source of the tip was Sportsmaster.

Artemis

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.

[raising his hand] All in favor of keeping Aqualad as leader.

Guess it's unanimous.
