[theme music playing]

[M'gann] Okay, Garfield, you called this meeting.

And I appreciate you hearing me out.

Kaldur, though the Justice League's ranks are divided,

you stand centerstage, defending a world

seemingly committed to stopping your good works.

And, M'gann, you lead the Team against our adversaries

while avoiding the spotlight.

Despite all obstacles,

you're both making a difference.

But something is missing.

Okay, I'll bite. What?

A public version of the Team.

Young heroes rebelling against the system

to fight the good fight in clear view.

No. We do not put those kinds of targets

on our underage heroes.

That is what the Justice League is for.

The League can't do what we need,

because you're playing on the Light's game board.

Have you seen the headlines lately?

Lex Luthor's grip on the United Nations.

The public fear of meta-humans.

Meta-Teen Trafficking.

Bad guys like Granny Goodness and Baron Bedlam

are capitalizing on all of it.

We've lost the hearts and minds

of the people we're trying to protect.

Demagogues and fearmongers have caused folks to give up

on the heroic ideal,

the reason the Justice League was formed in the first place.

Great, now I'm thoroughly depressed.

Don't worry. I've gotcha covered.

See, we're gonna break the rules the League can't.

We're gonna connect with people

in ways that can't be blocked by governments.

We're gonna quiet the fears of the public

terrified by the meta-gene generation.

And we'll do it all by inspiring that generation.

Because we are them.

Raised alongside them

in the fallout of a scary, meta-human world,

we can be the heroes that empower them to conquer their fears.

That's a great speech, Gar, sincerely,

but how's that any different from what the League's trying to do now?

The League and the Light are fighting spin campaigns,

and the Light's winning.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Look at this.

Without even trying,

these actions have generated something organic,

something beyond spin,

something that could never emerge

from under the thumb of Luthor or Granny.

It's something relatable.

It's something we can build on

by giving people something they can brand.

Something they can own on social media.

Something that makes them part of the story.

We're going to be highly mobile and accessible.

And together we're gonna start a revolution!

[stammers] A small one, anyway.

You have given us much to consider--

No. We haven't.

Get on board or get out of the way.

-[Conner grunts] -We've all heard the story...

You guys built this Team...

It's time to take it to the next level.

Are you sure you're ready for this kind of spotlight?

Green skin. Can't hide.

The Reach outed me two years ago.

Kid Flash is out too, from back in Wally's day.

Public doesn't always get that I'm a different guy.

Plus, I never really grokked the whole secret I.D. thing anyway, you?

Markovia and the world already know what I have become.

Now, I want to show them who I have become.

And there was no way

I was going to let this be a no-girl squad.

The group needed a little color.

[chuckles] Hey, brown skin here.

Might as well be blue skin with that face plate.

And the rest of you?

Not ready. Not yet.

That's just fine.

I was afraid I was losing my entire Team.

And I'm guessing we're too old.

[chuckles] Wow, when did that happen?

[scoffs] So it is decided.

The covert Team will now consist of Miss Martian,

Superboy, Tigress,

Halo, Thirteen, Forager and Terra.

While Beast Boy will lead Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle,

Kid Flash, Static and Geo-Force

in this new public Squad

but still covertly answer to the League

through Miss Martian. Agreed?

Agreed.

Oh, and there's one more thing I got covered.

Welcome to the Premiere Building.

The new Squad's base of operations.

I call this "The Hub."

Holographic computer interface.

Secured link to Watchtower systems.

Basically, our mission room.

When not in service,

it'll double as our super-stylin' living space.

[Kid Flash] This is so crash!

[Beast Boy] And whether you're with the Squad or not,

there's enough space upstairs for me,

Brion, Tara, Violet, Vic and Fred

to have our own separate bedrooms.

[Brion] Finally!

I mean, thank you!

[Beast Boy] Gotcha covered, B.

[Forager] Ooh. [munching]

[Beast Boy] And if anyone's hungry, got that covered too.

And just like Mount Justice,

we'll eventually have a medical bay,

a science lab, a gym,

even a Zeta-Tube.

Wow, it really is starting to feel like the Cave back in the day.

But, um... [clears throat] Who's paying for all this?

[laughs] Gretchen Goode.

She might still have me locked into a contract.

But that means ol' Granny has to pay me,

enough to finance the mission to take her down.

Now, that's what I call payback!

Huh? Huh?

Yeah, this is a sympathy bump.

[Brion] The bedrooms are quite spacious.

I must say I will not miss the confines of the Bio-RV.

[Forager grunts]

The new place is great, Gar.

But there's no way six teenagers are going to live here

alone and unsupervised.

Yeah, who knows what might happen? [giggles]

-Ow. -Behave.

I would be happy,

honored to move in and act as a "den mother"?

I'm already working with Victor,

so it would help to stay close to him.

Plus, I've been living in a hotel for the last four months,

and, well, it's not for me.

That would be a tremendous help, Helga.

[chuckles lightly] Thank you.

Got a bedroom with your name on it, Doc!

Well, uh, not yet.

But, uh, let me get a pen and an index card!

[giggles] It'll be so nice to finally be together, like a family.

I doubt any of us will miss our prior accommodations.

[sighs, groans]

Evening, Gaby. Need a lift home?

No thanks, Sheriff MacGuire.

I was just on my way to study with Big Words,

-I mean, Antonia. -[whooshing]

-Get down! -[both grunt]

[grunts] What... What is that?

I don't know, but we're getting out of here.

Gar, take a look at this.

[pants] It just showed up and started shooting.

If anyone's seeing this, please send help.

Send-- [screams]

-Is that a Reach ship? -Sure looks like one.

This is so moded.

Oh, man, this could be it! I'm hittin' the Troub-Alert!

[alarm blaring]

Mother of goat, that ridiculous alarm is even louder up here.

Dude, this better not be another Troub-Alert drill.

No drill. The Reach are back.

-No. Just no. -[M'gann] Hold up.

Looks like the League's already on it.

[Gaby panting] Someone's here.

I think it's Aquaman?

[grunting]

[grunts]

[groaning]

Oh, no! Aquaman's hit!

[grunting]

Oh, my gosh! Those things killed Aquaman!

Oh, no, no, no, wait. Aquaman's okay!

Chill, Aquaman. We gotcha covered!

[Gaby] Whoa, it's Kid Flash!

And there's Blue Beetle!

A flying girl and a... And a green bir--

Oh, my gosh! I think that's Garfield Logan!

-[Beast Boy screeches] -Garfield Logan is in Brooklyn!

[squeals, giggles]

[Beast Boy] Blue, can you confirm they're Reach?

Scarab confirms it.

I can deactivate them on contact.

But only one at a time.

[Beast Boy] Great! We'll distract 'em, so you can tag-- Whoa!

[grunts]

[groaning] Well, that stung.

[grunts] My spectacles!

[grunting] Oh, gratitude.

Um, stay calm, citizen.

And stay inside while we swat these bugs.

Well, I'll be super-amalgamated!

[Static] Geo-Force, comin' your way!

Consider it covered. [grunts]

[gasps]

[Tommi] Whoa.

[Blue Beetle] Shutdown confirmed.

[Static] Yes!

Blue's done it.

One down,

two to go.

[both] Whoo-hoo!

[Geo-Force] Let's get the pilot out of the cockpit.

[Gaby panting]

I think one went down in the park.

Please, Miss, you must get to cover.

And Kid Flash is leading another one away.

[grunting]

That was flabbergastingly fabulous!

Shutdown confirmed!

Mode crashed! Literally!

[monitor beeping]

Two down. One to go.

[giggles]

[Beast Boy screeching]

Shutdown con-- Whoa, maybe it was a bad idea

to do this in mid-air.

[grunting]

Coming in hard!

[grunting] Gotcha covered!

[sighs]

That was amazing!

Can you believe it?

They saved the town!

And we covered the story like real reporters!

Indubitably.

[gasps] It's media celebrity Garfield Logan! [cheers]

[all cheering]

[giggles] Whoo-hoo!

[sighs] So weird seeing a Team mission televised.

Guess we'll just have to get used to it.

And I'll have to get used to not having you two around.

Uh, I thought you thought the house was too crowded.

I think we came to like "crowded."

Will, Lian and I are really gonna miss you both.

[sniffles]

So, how about one last sleep-over? With ice cream?

Garfield, you just saved us all from the Reach!

Thank you! [giggles]

First, call me Beast Boy.

Second, don't thank me. Thank my squad.

That's Static and Geo-Force.

[chuckles] Hey, you're that Markovian prince! Uh, Brian, uh--

It's Brion Markov, yes.

Yeah! [chuckles lightly]

Here's Kid Flash and Wonder Girl.

Wonder Girl?

As in, sidekick to Wonder Woman?

We prefer protege.

And over there is our not-so-secret weapon

against this Reach Invasion:

Blue Beetle.

I knew this didn't feel right.

This was no Reach Invasion, look!

[Tommi gasps]

I am gobsmacked.

She's human.

Her name's Whisper A'Daire. And she works for Intergang.

-They all do. -Intergang?

Criminal organization that deals in alien weaponry.

And we would've scored big time,

if you heroes hadn't gotten in our way.

[chiming]

[system powering up]

[mechanical whirring]

[rumbling]

Sheriff, arrest these costumed delinquents.

The Justice League did not go through the proper channels to be in Brooklyn.

Excuse me.

But these young heroes are not members of the League.

Oh, so they're vigilantes!

They just saved the whole town!

Saved it? Look what they've done to our library!

Dad, uncool!

Don't you "Dad" me, Tommi Tompkins!

It's time your little Newsgirl Legion woke up

and smelled the maple syrup!

Lex Luthor warned us about your type,

and Brooklyn listened,

passed strict laws prohibiting vigilante justice.

Laws designed to protect us

from exactly this kind of mayhem!

Mr. Mayor, you're making a mistake.

Sheriff, if you value your badge,

you'll arrest these criminals.

[sighs]

This is outrageous!

Stand down, Geo-Force.

If we have to be arrested to do good, so be it.

[sighs] This is so moded.

No way.

Yes, way! I mean, look at us. We're in shackles!

Quick, everyone, behind the WarBug!

[all yell]

Scarab sensed the ship lock on our position.

But it won't target Reach tech 'cause it's on autopilot,

summoned by a distress signal from the WarBugs.

Hey, we didn't activate any signals!

Didn't even know those things had 'em.

Look, if I were you, I'd call the Justice League.

We don't need meta-vigilantes!

We have the United States Air Force!

Which I called in, by the way!

[all gasp]

-No! -What do we do?

[Geo-Force] One thing we don't do

is wait for your military to send reinforcements.

They'll bomb that ship out of the sky.

And it'll crash down and flatten your whole town.

-[gasps] -Now will you call the League?

No, no, no!

Then I am sorry. My hands are tied.

Mine aren't. Just handcuffed.

Squad, it's time for a jailbreak.

You can arrest us again after we save your town again.

[screeches]

Scarab says the only way I can shut down the Ship is from the inside.

[Beast Boy] Then we're going in!

[Beast Boy screeching]

-[thunder rumbles] -[Lian] Auntie Mouse!

-[crying] -Baby girl, oh, don't worry.

[shushes] It's okay.

That thunder can't get you.

[shushes] It's okay.

[thunder rumbling]

-[Artemis] You see how brave Tara and Violet are? -[Lian crying]

-You can be brave like them. -[thunder rumbles]

-[Violet gasps] -[Lian crying]

Oh, baby girl, it's okay. It's okay.

-[continues crying] -Tara, cuddle Lian.

I'll cuddle Violet.

I'd guess it's her first thunderstorm too.

Oh...

[rain pattering]

[whimpering]

[Tara shushing]

Whoo-hoo! We're in!

Now shut this sucker down, Blue!

[grunts] Good news! Just checked every deck.

No baddies, just their bones. We're in no danger at all.

[alarm blares]

[Geo-Force] Uh, bad news.

The good guys are here to blow us out of the sky.

But this ship will blow them out of the sky!

And those jets are manned!

[Beast Boy] They're almost in range,

and it looks like the Ship has a lock on 'em. Blue?

Good news.

I can totally cut power to the Ship's weapons.

Please, no bad news, please, no bad news.

-Bad news. -[groans]

I can only do it by deactivating

the Ship's engines at the same time.

So it crashes down and flattens the whole town.

-Called it. -[beeping]

I think the Ship's about to fire.

[Beast Boy] Blue, hit the gas!

Give us enough thrust to clear the town.

Then cut the power.

We'll crash this thing somewhere safe.

They did it!

They're moving the ship! And it's not shooting at us!

But it's falling out of the sky!

No, it's okay! They're crashing it into the park!

Except they're still in there!

[beeping]

[all panting]

[all gasp]

-[cheering] -[Antonia] They made it!

As promised.

That won't be necessary, kid.

What? Why?

[breathes deeply]

Brooklyn Statute Sixteen-Sixteen.

The Good Samaritan Law.

It states that "Minor and incidental harm done

in service of the greater good is not a crime."

These kids, and Aquaman,

did way more good than harm here today.

In the eyes of the law, they're free to go.

-[cheering] -[Tommi laughs] Hurray!

No concept of how much that thing's gonna cost

to get out of my lake! [mumbles] No concept at all!

So if you're not the "Young Justice League,"

then who are you?

[Beast Boy] We're something new,

here to help people.

We don't answer to bureaucrats and bad guys

trying to twist what we do into crimes against the system.

Those types can get on board or get out of the way.

[Gaby] Wow, sounds like a revolution.

Maybe.

We're definitely not playing by the insiders' rules.

We can't.

We are all Outsiders.

[keys tapping]

"Outsiders." Hmm, catchy.

Gar may really be onto something.

[rain pattering]

[whispering] Tara, can you put Lian to bed for me?

[keys beeping]

[Aquaman] One week ago,

I received a tip from La'gaan

about a lost Reach War Ship being salvaged by Intergang.

La'gaan and I conducted a raid on the ship.

We shut down Intergang's operation.

But not before Whisper A'Daire slipped away

with three WarBugs.

[M'gann] Thanks to Oracle,

we tracked them to a DarkNet, black market auction.

Whisper planned on sparking a bidding war

by demonstrating the WarBugs' power in Brooklyn.

Aquaman was on scene to throw the fight,

so we could send in Garfield's Squad

knowing that Blue Beetle would be our best bet

against Whisper's Reach Tech.

[Aquaman]Of course, no one expected the Reach Ship itself to launch.

But the "Outsiders" did well.

Very well. As Gar promised.

And as their leader, should Beast Boy not be included among us?

I... don't think he's ready for that.

For this.

He has his own mission.

[Aquaman] Which is most promising for our mission, as well.

[Brucely snoring]
