- As long as the ambassador
refuses to allow an attack

On the justice meat,
guarding the key chamber.

The crystal key
is useless to us.

And the warworld will never
truly belong to the reach.

- Mongul is to blame.

By bring the warworld to earth,
he cost us half our fleet.

- 67.3%, actually.

- Rawr. And alerted
the human meat

To our hidden invasion force.

- The ambassador has ways
of handling the humans.

And though we have
endured our setbacks,

The earth heroes
have lost so much more.

All considered,
things progressed quite well.

- Except for one loose end.

- That loose end
will soon be cut off.

- Arsenal to team.

Come in. Code red, code red.

- Arsenal to watch tower.
Come in, justice league.

Arsenal to anyone--come in!

- And in addition to our joint
scientific advancements,

The earth has also gained
a new hero.

One part human individual,

One part reach technology.

Blue beetle
is the living embodiment

Of the peaceful union
between our peoples.

Plus, he saved us all
from the warworld.

Not too shabby.

[cheers and applause]

And this is only the beginning.

Just imagine
what the future holds

When together,
we reach for tomorrow.

[cheers and applause]

[camera shutters clicking]

- Greetings, young one.

Do you have a question?

- Uh, I thought the justice
league protected the earth.

Why didn't they stop
the warworld?

- [sighs] I wonder
about that, too.

Just as I wonder
why they seem to attract

So many outer space bullies
to your planet.

Maybe the warworld
was a bully too big

For the league to handle.

Good thing your new friends
the reach were here
to protect you.

[cheers and applause]

[squeaks]

- The threat
that was the warworld

Is now a new hope
for mankind;

A weapon to defend your planet.

We, the reach,
will safeguard this weapon

Without boarding it,

Until such time
as humanity is ready
to assume control.

The warworld is our gift to you.

[crowd cheering]

[cricket chirping]

- Oh, nice one, ty!

You are seriously
getting a handle on your power.

- Thanks, virgil.
But I'd rather get a handle

On the scarab that turned
my man jaime into the reach's
little blue puppet.

[cell phone rings]

- I wonder if the reach
can appreciate the irony

Of their own creations
working against them.

- Hey, they did not create us.
They kidnapped us.

- And experimented on us
against our will.

- And with that in mind,
if you truly want to hit
the reach where it hurts,

I believe I can
show you the way.

- Anything?

- [sighs] no. I'm sorry.

I can't sense any of them.

But the warworld is so big,

They could easily be
out of range.

- We've been flying
this surface grid
pattern for hours.

And--and you're exhausted.

- I'm fine. I--I can do this.

- Of course. But there's
no need to over-tax yourself

So soon after your kidnapping.

Besides, we're not giving up.

We'll start over
where the team
first disappeared.

Look for a new lead.

- All right.
If you think it best.

[computer dinging]

- Come on, come on,
you dumb machine!

Just give me an outside line
to the watch tower,

The warehouse, anywhere!

[computer dinging]

[growls]

- Great. And me basically
out of ammo.

[computer dinging]
ha! That's what you get.

[computer dinging]

Oh, now you're just being petty.

[computer dinging]

[grunting]

You'll never pod me again!

Never!

- It's called father box.

It can open
a boom two borg gateway

To the warworld and back again.

It has also been programmed
to locate kryptonian dna.

- Kryptonian? You mean
you're sending us
after superman?!

- Superboy, actually.

One of nine young heroes
captured by the reach.

- Those guys saved us
from the reach!

- Precisely.
Care to return the favor,

And in the process,
strike a critical blow
against the reach?

- Dude, you're asking us
to go inside the warworld

And rescue superheroes.

If they got caught,
what chance do we have?

- [speaking native language]

- I'm in.

There's no way
the reach expects us.

With the element of surprise
and our powers,

We're the only ones
who might actually
stand a chance.

Besides, we owe 'em.

- My thoughts exactly.

- [exhales] fine.

- You had me
at "we owe 'em".

- [speaking native language]

How does work, please?

- The warworld shielding
prevents father box

From pinpointing superboy's
exact location from earth,

But it can boom to be
within a few miles of it.

Once you're inside,
it will lead you directly
to superboy and the others.

And when you're ready,
it can bring you all home.

Simply ask, [indistinct],
and it will obey.

- The warworld, please.

[beep]

- Ahhh!

- Hello.

- Oh, we give up, we give up,
please don't hurt us!

It was stupid to come here!

It was stupid, stupid, stupid!

I knew this wouldn't work!
We are so sorry.

- He's right.

We don't want any trouble.
We just want to go home.

- Fooled ya.

- Hoo-hoo!

Now you gone done
woke up the big man.

- Adios.

- Ant, sam, ty, time to go.

- Raw power.

Now we're talking
the same language.

- And that's what you get
for blasting my board!

- Dude, did we know
your, uh, long shadow
was laser-proof?

- Ugh, more like
laser-resistant.

Those beams stung.

- Superboy, please.

[beep]

This way.

- Haven't you already scanned
every inch of this place?

- Yeah, but I'm obviously
capable of missing
obvious clues.

I totally should have
spotted evidence of
blue beetle's defection

After green beetle
fixed his scarab.

- That's my fault.
You asked me to scan
green's mind,

And I vouched for him
without delving deep.

I was so afraid
to use my powers

After what I did to aqualad.

I allowed green beetle
and his scarab to feed me

Exactly what the reach
wanted us to believe.

So blue trusted green
and was turned by him,

Then somehow abducted the team.

All on me.

- Except you never would have
been in that position

If I had trusted you
with the secret

Of aqualad's deep cover mission.

I put you, aqualad, artemis,
the whole team,

In unacceptable danger.

- So, this is our guilt-off.

I say I messed up,
then you say
you messed up worse.

- Dick, we both made mistakes,

And we both need
to get over ourselves.

Save the team,
then save blue.

As a certain 13-year-old
was once fond of saying,

That's just what we do.

[screeching and clattering]

[radio static]

- Sphere! Ha ha!

[gasps] can you take us
to superboy?

- [revving]

- I think that's a yes.

- The meat-designated arsenal

Continues to elude
black beetle soldiers.

But of greater interest,

Four of our former test subjects
are inside the warworld

And attacking our patrols.

- What?! How did they get--

[knock on door]
- one minute, mr. Ambassador.

- I'll be right with you.

Tell black to terminate
both situations,

With extreme prejudice.

- And now, an old friend
of our program--

The reach ambassador.

Welcome back to the show,
ambassador.

- Always a pleasure, g. Gordon.

- Oh, man.

There they are.

- Looks like they're frozen.

- They're in stasis.

And you will join them
soon enough.

- Guys, I saw this freak
take down all these heroes
back on the reach ship.

- Please, don't let that
stop you from attacking me.

I could use the exercise.

- Aah!

- Please tell me he did not
just take our big gun

In three seconds flat.

- Scatter!

- Aah!

[all grunting]

- So much for exercise.

All right, meat.
Might as well teleport

Yourself into a stasis cell

And save me the trouble.

- Gracias, amigo.

Um, who are you?

- The guy who will
save your butts
if you listen carefully.

You can't beat
black beetle head on,

But keep him off balance and we
might just stand a chance.

- So you see, g. Gordon,
the reach is all about

Intergalactic brotherhood.

- A lovely sentiment.

So, please explain
to the good folks at home

How it squares with the lies
you told us

And the fleet of warships

You hid beneath our oceans!

- I think you're forgetting
that those ships

Helped blue beetle
save the earth from--

Unfortunately, the reach
only has this single ship,

Designed for peaceful
exploration and diplomacy

And unequipped
with any weapons.

- Now, I don't know
what you'd call that
on your world, ambassador,

But on planet earth,
we call it a bold faced lie!

How many more lies
are you hiding
beneath our seas,

And how much more propaganda

Will you ask
the human race to swallow

And wash down
with a nice, cold reach?

- I am starting to get annoyed.

[computer dinging]
- ugh, I really hate that sound!

- We're throwing everything
we've got at this desperado

And barely holding our own.

Shouldn't we be
freeing some of the good guys?

- No.

- [growls]

- Ah, amigo,
you don't seem clear

On who we're here to rescue.

- [growls]

- Trust me, I'm clear.

- Mongul!

This is all your fault!

- Reach.

[both grunting]

- You guys free the team.

There's something else
I need to get.

- [speaking native language]

- Let's go, move!

Ok, get ready.

There's a squad of reach
soldiers waiting for us.

- Hey, fearless leader.
Better late than never.

- Everyone safe?

- For now.

- The crystal key?

- Gone. And we better
get gone, too,

Before one of them
declares a winner.

- Right. Move out.

- All aboard.
We're almost home free.

- I think congratulations
are in order.

No training, no guidance,
and yet you pulled it off.

When we get back,
after a debrief,

There might be a place
for all of you with the team.

- Wow, really?

- So now that
we saved your butts,

You're cool with us
not being star lab's
guinea pigs.

- Dude, chill.

- Before we head back,
we need to talk
about blue beetle.

He betrayed us.

- Look who's talking.

Last thing I remember

Is you blowing an airlock
without warning.

Nearly got us all killed

And absolutely guaranteed
our capture!

- Hey! After 8 years on ice,

There's no way I was
getting grabbed again.

And in case you hadn't noticed,

My escape resulted
in you being free now

To stand here and complain.

So how about a thank you?

- You're right, arsenal.

Thank you.

And after we get back to earth,

You're off the team.

- Well, wait a minute!
- If it wasn't for arsenal,

We wouldn't have rescued anyone.

- That may be.
But this isn't the first time

He's pulled this kind of stunt.

Intentionally endangering
the lives of teammates

In order to further
his own agenda

Or guard against
his own personal demons.

It's unacceptable.
So until you prove
yourself a team player,

You have no place on this team.

Now let's get aboard
and get out of here.

We can discuss this further

When we're not behind
enemy lines.

- Sounds like there's
nothing left to discuss.

- See, we don't need
your help getting back to earth,

Or your offer to join the team.

We have our own way
of doing things.

- What do you say, bro,
want to ride with us?

- Sounds like a plan.

- Wait, is that a--
- home, please.

[beeps]

[all groaning]

- So, am I right in thinking
congratulations are in order?

- Luther!
- Ahh.

You brought home a souvenir.

- Lex luthor's got you running
his errands on the warworld?!

This guy's the reason
I'm missing 8 years of my life

And my arm!
Don't you get it?

He didn't care
if you rescued the team.

He was using you--

As a distraction to lure
black beetle away from
the crystal key

So one of his other pawns
could steal it.

- Hmm, deathstroke's
more of a bishop, actually.

But I'm not sure
I understand the problem.

You rescued the heroes
and dealt a blow to the reach.

Isn't that exactly
what I promised you?

- No more promises.
