Khary Payton: Kaldur'ahm, Aqualad

Quotes 

• Captain Marvel : Actually, you let everyone split up before communications were set.

  Aqualad : They would not listen

  Captain Marvel : I guess. But back at the cave, Batman stopped everyone from fighting with just one word.

  Aqualad : Because Batman is... Batman.

• Kaldur'ahm : [Quietly to Batman]  Sportsmaster revealed the possibility of a mole within the team. In light of last night's attack, Red Tornado would appear to be the traitor. But whether he betrayed us willingly or was preprogrammed is still...

  Conner Kent : [Conner launches himself at Kaldur]  YOU KNEW? That android and his maniac family nearly killed M'Gann!

  M'gann M'orzz : [Flying towards them]  Conner, what are you doing?

  Conner Kent : Kaldur knew we had a traitor among us and *said nothing*!

  Dick Grayson : You knew?

  Wally West : And didn't tell us?

  Kaldur'ahm : I sought to protect the team from-...

  Artemis : Protect us from what, knowledge that might have saved our lives?

• Kaldur'ahm : Enough!... Captain Marvel has been captured. And we must act as a team to save him!

  Kid Flash : Heh. Under your leadership? I don't think...

  Kaldur'ahm : This is not up for debate! You all chose me to lead. When this mission is over, if you wish to select a new leader I will happily step down. But until that time, I am in command here!

• Robin : Look, I need to know, why did you keep the mole intel secret?

  Aqualad : [pause. Everyone stares at Aqualad]  The source of the tip was Sportsmaster.

  Artemis : WHAT? You can't trust him!

  Aqualad : I do not. It seemed possible even likely that he was attempting to divide the team with false information.

  Robin : And given how the mission went, he almost succeeded. But you had to consider it might be true.

  Aqualad : Yes, as leader, I did. In which case, I did not wish to alert the traitor.

  Robin : I hate to say it, but it makes sense.

  Aqualad : I am still prepared to step down.

  Kid Flash : [Raising his hand]  All in favor of keeping Aqualad as leader.

  [Everyone raises their hand] 

  Captain Marvel : Guess it's unanimous.

• Aqualad : Miss Martian, I need a telepathic link-up with the entire team, now.

  Miss Martian : Link established.

  Artemis : [to Aqualad]  Should you really still be giving us orders?

  [to Miss Martian] 

  Artemis : And should you really be following them?

  Aqualad : Listen, please.

  Kid Flash : Oh, good, Aqualad's voice in my head. I've so missed that.

  Robin : Hey, Kaldur, K. F. and I were attacked by giant vultures. 'Course, since we're moles, you probably think we attacked ourselves.

  Artemis : If he did, he wouldn't tell you.

  Miss Martian : Superboy, are you online or just pouting?

  Superboy : Busy.
