- Kid Flash: You here to save us or fry us?
- Superboy: Huh, I don't seem to have heat vision, so I suppose helping is my only option.
- [Superboy frees Robin]
- Robin: Finally! Luckily Batman isn't here. He'd have my head for taking so long.
- Kid Flash: Seriously, that's what you're worried about? The whole League will have our heads after tonight.
- Mark Desmond: You'll never get out of here! I'll have you back in pods before morning.
- Robin: That guy is not whelmed. Not whelmed at all.
- Kid Flash: What is with you and this whelmed thing?
- The Flash: You should have called us.
- Batman: End results aside, we're not happy. You hacked Justice League systems, disobeyed direct orders, and endangered lives. You will not be doing this again.
- Aqualad: I am sorry, but we will.
- Aquaman: Aqualad, stand down.
- Aqualad: Apologies, my king, but no. We did good work here tonight, the work you trained us to do. Together on our own we forged something powerful, important.
- The Flash: If this is about your treatment at the Hall, the three of you...
- Kid Flash: The four of us, and it's not.
- Robin: Batman, we're ready to do what you taught us, or why teach us at all?
- Superboy: Why let them tell us what to do? It's simple. Get on board or get out of the way.
- Robin: He can talk?
- Superboy: Yes, he can.
- Robin: Not like I said, "it."
- Aqualad: The genomorph taught you.
- Superboy: They taught me much. I can read, write. I know the names of things.
- Robin: But have you seen them? Have they actually let you see the sky or the moon?
- Superboy: Images are implanted in my mind, but no. I have not seen them.
- Aqualad: Do you know what you are, who you are?
- Superboy: I am the Superboy, a genomorph, a clone made from the DNA made from the Superman, created to replace him should he perish, to destroy him should he return from the light.
- Aqualad: To be like Superman is a worthy aspiration, but, like Superman, you deserve a life of your own beyond that solar suit, beyond that pod, beyond Cadmus.
- Superboy: I live because of Cadmus! It is my home!
- Robin: Your home is a test tube. We can show you the sun.
- Kid Flash: Uh, pretty sure it's after midnight, but we can show you the moon.
- Aqualad: We can show you, introduce you to Superman.
- The Flash: The League will still handle the obvious stuff. There's a reason we have these big targets on our chest.
- Aquaman: But CADMUS proves the bad guys are getting smarter. Batman needs a team that can operate on the sly.
- Batman: The five of you will be that team.
- Robin: Cool! Wait. Five?
- Batman: [Ms Martian enters] This is the Martian Manhunter's niece. Ms. Martian.
- Aqualad: [telepathically] Superboy, you live. That gives you the right to follow your own path. A weapon or a person, the choice is yours, but ask yourself, "What would Superman do?"
- Dubbilex: Perhaps for the sake of all genomorphs, our brother Superboy should make up his own mind.
- Superboy: It was you.
- Dubbilex: Yes, brother. I set the fire and lured your new friends down into Cadmus, woke them when they were in danger...
- Superboy: And guided me. Why?
- Dubbilex: Because you are our hope, the genomorph hero. You will blaze a trail for all our brothers, showing us the way to freedom. What is your choice, brother?
- Superboy: I... choose... freedom.
- Guardian: We'll cut them off at sub-level one.
- Mark Desmond: We'd better or the board will have our heads - *my* head. I need to get something from Project Blockbuster just in case. I'll meet you at sub-level one.
- Guardian: [to Young Justice] Go. I'll deal with Desmond.
- Mark Desmond: [Entering] I think not. Project Blockbuster will give me the power to restore order to CADMUS.
- Mark Desmond: [rushing down a hallway with Guardian, Dubbilex, some G-Elves and a G-Troll] Someone - Robin, I'd wager - hacked our systems, deactivating internal security cameras, but he neglected the motion sensors. The genomorphs are closing in.
- [They enter a men's room and stop under a vent]
- Mark Desmond: They're all coming out in here. We have them cornered.
- [G-Elves spill out of the vents, falling on top of Desmond]
- Mark Desmond: Ohh! He hacked the motion sensors.
- Robin: I hacked the motion sensors.
- Kid Flash: Sweet!
- Miss Martian: Hi.
- Wally West: [to Robin] Liking this gig more every minute.
- [to Miss Martian]
- Wally West: Welcome aboard. I'm Kid Flash. That's Robin, Aqualad. It's cool if you forget their names.
