- Black Manta: Kaldur'ahm, you should know my faith in you is absolute. But others require further proof of loyalty.
- Kaldur'ahm: You have my word, father. I will do whatever it takes... to enter the Light.
- Tuppence Terror: I think we're plum crazy to throw in with this feller. I mean it wasn't two years ago Mister Aqualad here was trying to lock us back up in Belle Reve.
- Tommy Terror: Well, sister Tuppence folks say he had a change of heart since finding out who his pappy is.
- Icicle Jr.: I hear he switched sides because of some girl. Which I totally get.
- [Looks at Tuppence]
- Icicle Jr.: You know, if it's the right girl.
- Tommy Terror: I'm more concerned about this Tigress. How come the Terror Twins ain't never heard of her before?
- Tigress: You know we can hear you?
- Tommy Terror: That we do, missy. These are open questions, you see?
- Tigress: So which one of you wants to ask your open questions of Black Manta?
- Icicle Jr.: Don't look so defeated. I'm here for you babe.
- Tuppence Terror: Will you cut that out?
- Icicle Jr.: Can't help myself babe. Been kinda obsessed since the first time I laid eyes on you.
- Tuppence Terror: This is the first time you laid eyes on me!
- Jaime Reyes: Dude, what are you doing?
- Impulse: Here to hang, the chill, spend a little downtime with my buddy Blue "BB" the Beetle. The be-tel. You know, chill-angin'.
- Jaime Reyes: And put my secret ID at risk?
- Scarab: The Impulse is trouble. Destroy him!
- Jaime Reyes: Overreacting won't help.
- Blue Beetle: [Smashing rocks] How's that, hermano.
- Impulse: Not bad, not bad. Boulder's definitely feeling the mode, but - One thing I learned in the future amigo is that it's easier to destroy than to create!
- [Re-arranges the rock fragments]
- Impulse: Ta-da!
- Scarab: The Impulse has created nothing. And it's premise is faulty. Tactical destruction is more effective than creation.
- Mal Duncan: Duncan to Watchtower. Mount Justice is... gone. I mean, there's been an explosion. A *big* explosion.
- Scarab: The advantage is ours. Recommended tactic: evisceration.
- Blue Beetle: Or, since they outnumber us 4 to 2, we could recommend tactic strategic retreat.
- Impulse: Souvenir!
- Blue Beetle: Souvenirs are Beast Boy's thing, ese.
- Impulse: Oh really? I thought it was Kid Flash.
- Kaldur'ahm: This is the same type of bomb that obliterated Malina island. I am holding down the dead man's switch. If my thumb comes off this button for any reason Mount Justice falls.
- Scarab: The traitor bluffs. And if not, I calculate we can survive the blast.
- Blue Beetle: But my friends can't. We're standing down.
- Scarab: We can not allow ourselves to be taken prisoner.
- Blue Beetle: Not much choice, is there?
- Icicle Jr.: None at all.
- Scarab: Inaccurate. I have tapped the functions of this "inhibitor collar". I will disable it so that you may attack.
- Blue Beetle: And risk Aqualad blowing up the cave? I don't think so.
- Scarab: Then Jaime Reyes, you leave me no choice. I am taking control.
- Nightwing: Aqualad! You'll regret this!
- Kaldur'ahm: I believe I have outgrown the name "Aqualad" as well as anything resembling regret.
- Black Manta: Please allow me to officially introduce Kaldur'ahm. My son. He has succeeded in every mission. And then some. Not only did he capture Beetle as instructed but he acquired two bonus metas as well. As for the destruction of Mount Justice, well.
- Ra's al Ghul: Indeed. We appreciate initiative, vision, and strong family ties. Welcome to the Light, Kaldur'ahm. It is time for you to meet our partner.
