02x18 - Secret Society: Part II

[bunniefuu]

Previously on justice league...

Uh! Oh!

We're not working
together as well as we could.

What are you suggesting?

Practice.

Aw, man.

You're trying to set up

Another injustice
g*ng, aren't you?

We call it a society...

A secret society.

No!

You've got to trust
your partners.

I do, but the fact is,

I'm the invulnerable one.

Are you saying we can't cut it?

That's what it
sounds like to me.

Why didn't you
let us finish him?

In a warehouse? That's
far too small a stage.

I've had better luck
handling whole armies.

And you know why?

Because I didn't have to
worry about anyone but myself.

Then why don't
you go back to that?

The least he could have done
was put up some bail for us.

All shade cares about is shade.

We'd still be in the joint

If it hadn't been for your mom.

How is she gonna pay
back all that money?

She'll just have to keep
dancing for a few more years.

Sounds like shade

Isn't too popular
with you either.

Tell me where he is,

And I'll see that he gets
what's coming to him.

You want shade?

That's what I said.

Go look under a tree.

I can do this on my own.

I don't need the league.

Fool.

Maybe, but I owe
him quite a lot.

If it hadn't been for a
certain "accident" he caused,

I never would have gotten
my new mental powers.

That's why they
broke up so easily.

You willed them to.

Even my mind isn't
that powerful.

For months, I've been
reading their body language

And facial
expressions like a book.

They were holding back

Considerable resentment
for each other.

All I had to do was get
those feelings to come out.

How'd you do that?

Parasite, have you
ever said something

You knew you shouldn't have,

Something really hurtful?

Sure.

What made you do it?

Too little sleep?
Low blood sugar?

Maybe you were just
in one of those moods

You get into every so often.

I hear that.

Precisely. This
blessed organ of mine

Can send out thought waves
that affect those moods.

They open the door that
most people keep locked.

So, what's next?

We've already divided.
Now we conquer.

Who do you think
you are... Batman?

It's been a long night.

Just tell me where shade is, ok?

Look, buddy, I know batman.

I once ratted out a
counterfeiter to batman.

And believe me,

You are no batma-a-a-an!

You were saying?

All right! All right! All right!

Oh!

Sh-shade... He's
setting up another job.

He's got this place

At the old north
hills subway station.

Not much of a trap.

I can go on like this all night.

My beams are as fast
as you are... Light speed.

Yeah, but you don't
think that fast.

Oh! Ooh!

Yo, bats. Come on, pick
up. I know you're there.

What do you want?

I bit off a little more

Than I can chew with sinestro.

You got to give
me some help here.

I thought you didn't need any.

Well, I do now.

I'm at the old north hills
subway platform. Hurry!

Looks like I didn't
need you after all, yo.

But you can help me tie him up.

Catch.

Uh!

The real flash would
have been too fast for that.

Aah!

Aah!

What gave me away?

You overplayed your part, yo.

Everyone's a critic.

We could have been

The greatest fighting force

In the history of the universe.

How do you walk away from that?

You were asking too much.

A little practice?
That's too much to ask?

You wanted us to
stop being individuals.

We're all just soldiers
to you, interchangeable.

You don't care
about us as people.

That's not true!

I care.

You don't care about me.

What are you talking about?

I'd give my life for you.

You don't know
what you're saying.

Spy cam?

Who are you broadcasting to?

Hawkgirl, it's lantern.

I don't have anything
more to say to you.

Listen. Something
weird is going on.

Meet me at the practice ring.

Well, where is he?

You know batman. Always
has to make an entrance.

Batman? Lantern was
the one who called me.

I heard from flash.

Down!

Out of the way! Everybody!

Hah! Ooh!

Careful!

I told you to get
out of the way!

Aah!

Uh!

Superman.

Don't do it! It's clayface!

Go!

Ha ha ha.

Freeze him!

We did it. We got him.

But what about the lantern?

Only a matter of time.

Soon we'll have
the complete set.

Then the real fun begins.

Remember those old
spy movies I used to act in,

Where the villain
would catch the hero

But wouldn't k*ll him,

And then the hero
would always get away?

I'm not much of a moviegoer.

My point is, we should
get rid of them now.

What happened to your
sense of drama, mr. Hagen?

This is something
that has to be done

In front of the whole world.

Do your part, and I'll let you

Bring down the final curtain.

Don't underestimate us, clay.

We could have taken the league

Even if grodd hadn't been
messing with their moods.

We shouldn't overestimate
ourselves either.

Right. What are we going
to do about the lantern?

I don't know. What
are we going to do

About you, mr. Stewart?

Can't hide from this.

Look out! Move it!

He's getting away!

Perhaps not.

He was mine.

He's ours.

They all are now.

And now,

For your local
halftime entertainment,

Her last 2 albums have
gone triple platinum,

And she's here tonight
to sing her smash hit,

Gimme gimme all your love,

From her newest
album underbelly.

Ladies and gentlemen,
tina squires!

Aah!

Now that I have
your attention...

We've come to this arena

Because it's where the strong
routinely defeat the weak.

How you so-called higher
primates revel in that.

Yet outside these walls,
you do everything you can

To shackle the mighty

And prevent them from
fulfilling their destiny.

That's all about to end.

Just a small
demonstration of our might.

Not convinced? There's more.

There they are... Your heroes,

Who violate every law of nature

By coddling the
weak and cowards.

We say it's time
for a new order.

But it can't arise until
the old one departs.

Ready for your
closeup, mr. Hagen?

Why'd he do that?

Of course.

The martian tricked us.

You froze the wrong one.

Grodd's been messing
with our minds.

Great. How do we fight it?

We get over it. That's how.

This isn't exactly
the show I had in mind,

But in a way, it's going
to be even better.

Don't forget your training.

Get 'em.

This time, I got the right one.

Never learn, do you? Uh!

Actually, I have
learned a few things.

Aah!

Antifreeze, anyone?

Please, no jokes. Just get her.

Can't... Breathe!

Really?

Uh!

Wouldn't hit a woman, would you?

I would!

I knew this wouldn't
work. I knew it.

I could have...

What?

Thanks.

That's a wrap.

Just about.

There's still a chance
for us, you know.

What are you talking about?

We're the superior
ones, you and i.

We should be running the world.

I don't think so.

Pity.

Aah!

You had your chance.

Now you can feel the pain.

I've... Felt... Worse.

Oh.

Whoo!

Back in business.

Aren't we?

A lot of things were said.

Yeah, but that was
all mind control.

We didn't mean...

We meant every word.

So, what do we do?

All we can do is say
we're sorry and move on.
