We have two situations.

Each of which requires
delicate handling.

I have every confidence
our new hire can handle
the first.

But, Vandal, are you certain
your acquaintance is
up to the second task?
5
00:00:41,390 --> 00:00:43,330
Quite certain.
6
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,200

may proceed.

Good morning, everyone.

help these young people

adjust to their new abilities
and to readjust to the world
around them.
23
00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:34,340
There are resources here
for these children.

Okay, Granny.
51
00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:58,220
Your Goode V.R. goggles
are on absolutely
everyone's shopping list.
52
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,190
And it's only September.
53
00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:04,230
We've had modest success
with the goggles, yes.

You mean, modest success

kid in America to mush!

No, I imagine you wouldn't.
58
00:04:15,010 --> 00:04:17,610
But my viewers
prefer the truth.
59
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,680
And the truth, in my opinion,
is that these goofy glasses
60
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:27,520
are just another way for kids
to disengage from the world,
61
00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:31,090
disrespect their teachers,
disappoint their parents,
62
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,990
discombobulate their emotions,
and decetera...
63
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:39,000
G. Gordon, I'm proud
of our product.
64
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:41,730
I started Goode World
with a simple goal.
65
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,800
To spark the imagination.
That has not changed.

to talk about.

to come on our show?

Forager thanks Artemis Crock.
344
00:19:20,110 --> 00:19:22,580
Forager thanks
all his friends
345
00:19:22,650 --> 00:19:26,220
for risking limb and life
to save Forager.
346
00:19:26,290 --> 00:19:31,290
The humans here
are all truly drones
in Forager's hive.
347
00:19:31,790 --> 00:19:32,990
(CLICKING)
348
00:19:33,060 --> 00:19:34,460
CONNER:
The feeling's mutual, kid.
349
00:19:34,530 --> 00:19:38,260
NIGHTWING:
We always take care
of our own.
350
00:19:38,330 --> 00:19:40,730
The Central City job is done.
351
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,170
And the heroes will
never know.
352
00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:44,100
QUEEN BEE:
Excellent work, Lady Shiva.
353
00:19:44,170 --> 00:19:48,210
You were clearly
the right choice to become
the Light's new enforcer.
354
00:19:48,270 --> 00:19:50,180
As to the other
item of business,
355
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:55,010
Lobo may not know he failed,
but killing Forager
was never the point.
356
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,950
We can now confirm
Vertigo's testimony.
357
00:19:58,020 --> 00:20:00,190
That the Superboy
and Black Lightning
358
00:20:00,250 --> 00:20:02,920
participated in
the Markovian incident.
359
00:20:02,990 --> 00:20:04,490
ULTRA-HUMANITE:
Such a waste.
360
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,260
We lost an excellent source
of meta-humans.
361
00:20:07,330 --> 00:20:10,100
There are other options
on that front.
362
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,700
But after Markovia,
and after the communique
from Ra's al Ghul,
363
00:20:14,770 --> 00:20:18,170
the Light required
confirmation of
all we suspected.
364
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,840
Now, we can be certain
that Grayson has assembled
a new off-the-books team,
365
00:20:22,910 --> 00:20:27,910
consisting of the Superboy,
Lightning, Sportsmaster's
younger daughter,
366
00:20:28,410 --> 00:20:30,450
the banished Prince
of Markovia,
367
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,090
the New Genesian Bug
and an unknown meta-girl.
368
00:20:35,150 --> 00:20:38,320
Seven champions.
An elegant number.
369
00:20:38,390 --> 00:20:40,730
And we've learned
to our regret
370
00:20:40,790 --> 00:20:42,360
that young heroes like these
371
00:20:42,430 --> 00:20:46,700
can cause the seven of us
no end of trouble.
372
00:20:46,770 --> 00:20:49,570
No worries, my friends.
373
00:20:49,630 --> 00:20:51,540
A plan is in place.
374
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,010
We'll deal with
these naughty children
375
00:20:55,070 --> 00:20:58,220
in our own good time.
376
00:21:01,910 --> 00:21:04,120
