Why is nightwing in young justice




















He informed them that they faced Psimon because he had managed to elude his doctors. The mission answered some questions, but many still remained unanswered, to Wonder Girl's disappointment. He reassured her that unanswered questions were not a bad thing, as they kept the investigation going. He congratulated them all on the mission. Nigthwing was present when Batgirl presented Doctor Fate with recordings of an ancient temple she and other Team members had found in Bialya.

Fate translated the hieroglyphics, revealing an ancient ritual to cleanse a scarab. Nightwing was working on the translation of the Krolotean intel from Malina Island. Most of it could be deciphered, except for one word. The closest English equivalent was " Meta-Gene ". He discussed it with Beast Boy and Robin , but their conversation was cut short when the computer detected an energy impulse.

In a ball of lightning, a small pod arrived in the Mission Room, and a boy jumped out. Beast Boy quipped that this was the impulse they detected, and as a response, the boy took Impulse as his name. As he ran off, Nightwing sent the two junior members after him.

Impulse took care of the younger members, but Nightwing outsmarted him. He lined the hallway to the Mission Room with marbles. Impulse avoided them, but it allowed Nightwing the opportunity to flank him. He subdued the speedster, and cuffed him on his wrists and ankles. Robin and Beast Boy heard Impulse out, but did not believe his "future tourist" explanation. Nightwing supposedly wanted his DNA, and tried to trick the boy into giving it up. Impulse happily complied.

He also revealed the secret identities of everyone in the room. When Mal arrived at the Cave, Impulse took the opportunity to escape. Beast Boy attempted to pursue, but Robin and Nightwing doubted if he could keep up with him. Fortunately Nightwing had taken the precaution of planting a subcutaneous tracker which he had put in the water glass Bart drank from, and traced it to Central City.

He made a couple of calls to inform the Flash family. Impulse claimed he was ready to go back to his own time, but the time machine didn't work. Nightwing participated in a mission to protect the launch of a satellite, which was used to fake Artemis's death at the hands of Aqualad. Though the satellite was destroyed, the rest of the Team was convinced of Artemis's death. Nightwing was at the Cave when Aqualad led a team to infiltrate the base.

Blue Beetle, Beast Boy and Impulse were captured, and Mount Justice was destroyed, but Aqualad was able to pass along vital intelligence to Nightwing while securing his reputation with the Light. Afterwards, at the Hall of Justice, Nightwing tried to justify the extreme measures he and Aqualad were taking to Wally. Nightwing used the intelligence Kaldur provided to have the Team find and infiltrate the Light's partner 's base and rescue their captive teammates and some teenage abductees being experimented upon.

In order to escape, most of the Team had to fight Black Beetle , but Nightwing was locked away from the fight on the Bio-Ship. Once everyone was aboard, Nightwing piloted the Bio-Ship away from the Reach vessel. Nightwing showed Mal, Superboy, Miss Martian and Wolf the warehouse he had arranged to temporarily house them. When Mal decided to go the Hall of Justice to make other arrangements, Nightwing encouraged Conner and M'gann to go as well to collect their belongings that had been salvaged from the ruins of Mount Justice.

Nightwing watched G. He informed the others that M'gann had decided on alternate accommodations. They were interrupted by Blue Beetle who demanded his Scarab be removed to prevent him from betraying humanity.

Nightwing said he wanted a squad to investigate, assigning Robin as team leader of Alpha Squad and Blue Beetle, Impulse and Arsenal as squad members. When Beetle expressed concern about the prophecy Impulse mentioned, Nightwing reminded Beetle that the Scarab had not taken control despite Beetle being on a number of missions.

When Arsenal inquired as to why the Team couldn't use the Watchtower as headquarters, Nightwing told him only Justice League and senior Team members were allowed on the Watchtower. After Alpha Squad completed its mission, Nightwing spoke with Green Beetle , who the squad members had encountered during the mission.

He then spoke with Robin about the mission, who said Arsenal still needed experience on covert missions, then turned over a sample of an additive he had acquired from the Reach laboratory. Green Beetle had indicated a willingness to allow M'gann to read his mind to confirm his background but M'gann was hesitant.

Nightwing said this was the only way to confirm Green Beetle was who he said he was, so M'gann ultimately agreed. She eventually confirmed Green Beetle's story. Green Beetle then discussed the beverage the Reach and LexCorp were marketing, saying the additive to the drink addicts the population to the beverage and makes people placid.

Nightwing said the Atom and Flash had come to the same conclusion. Green Beetle then added the additive allows the Reach to track people who have the Meta-Gene and Nightwing realized that would allow the Reach an easier task of weaponizing the Meta-Gene. He dismissed everyone, then asked Green Beetle if he needed a place to say. Green Beetle, transforming into human form, said he would find a place in Taos.

Later, Nightwing and Superboy were with Lagoon Boy at a hospital. Lagoon Boy was insistent that he go after M'gann, saying he didn't want her in the hands of Kaldur and Tigress. To settle Lagoon Boy down, Nightwing revealed that Kaldur was working in deep cover, that they faked Artemis's death and that Tigress was really Artemis.

Lagoon Boy was still upset but Superboy told him there must have been a reason why Nightwing kept that information secret. As the two departed Lagoon Boy's hospital room, Nightwing thanked Superboy for backing him up, but Superboy told him he wasn't left much of a choice. He then revealed to Nightwing that, because M'gann didn't know about Nightwing's secrets, she had fried Kaldur's mind, which shocked Nightwing.

Superboy then said that, because Nightwing had kept that information a secret, he had endangered the lives of Kadlur, M'gann and Artemis. Jaime was reluctant since one of them was a friend, but Nightwing said he was counting on that to help Jaime convince them to return to STAR.

Later, Nightwing called Jaime again. Nightwing realized that the object was huge, passing behind Rhea rather than in front of it. Nightwing stood by as Captain Atom attempted negotiations with Mongul, to no avail. Following the League's successful defense against Mongul's first strike, Nightwing reported the distraction had enabled the Team to board the Warworld, and confirmed that its security systems had been successfully bypassed.

Later, Aquaman told him about the Watchtower's effectiveness estimates on the defense against Mongul's saturation bombardment attack. Nightwing congratulated on the Team on successfully stopping Mongul, and ordered them to regroup and return home. Blue Beetle said, after the Team had successfully subdued Mongul, that a boom tube opened underneath them and he was the only one who able to get away from it.

He added Impulse had the crystal key. Nightwing scanned the area and detected trace signatures of a boom tube. Blue Beetle said he wanted to stay and help the Justice League prevent anyone from activating the satellite but Nightwing told him to go home and get some sleep. Nightwing was walking around the entry port, searching for evidence of what happened, and noticed some dents in the floor.

He then he came upon one of Robin's Birdarangs, which he deduced had scratched Blue Beetle's armor. He then examined the entry hatch and noticed the control had been pierced, raising his suspicion.

Nightwing was at the warehouse that served as the Team's headquarters, watching footage from GBS of the Reach ambassador holding a press conference to introduce the individual he said was responsible for shutting down the Warworld, the Blue Beetle. Beetle thanked the ambassador for the welcome and the Reach for giving him his powers.

Nightwing, who was holding Robin's Birdarang, snapped it in two and his eyes narrowed, realizing Beetle was now an agent of the Reach. Nightwing piloted the Bio-Ship and Miss Martian telepathically scanned for the other Team members but could not track them down given the Warworld's size. Nightwing suggested she take a break, given the length of her search, and that they restart the investigation from the spot where the Team first disappeared.

In the docking bay, Nightwing blamed himself for missing evidence of Blue Beetle's defection. Miss Martian replied it was her fault because she didn't probe Green Beetle's mind adequately.

Nightwing replied that was because of her mental assault on Aqualad, which would not have happened had he trusted her with the plan about Aqualad's deep cover mission.

Miss Martian told Nightwing they both needed to get past their mistakes and rescue the Team and Blue Beetle. She then reminded him of what he was fond of saying when he was 13 years old: "That's just what we do. At that point, a door to another chamber opened, revealing the Team members, who had been rescued by Arsenal and the four teens the Reach had abducted.

Nightwing inquired about the Team and the key to the Warworld, but Arsenal recommended a retreat before any further de-briefing, given that Black Beetle and Mongul were occupied with one another.

When everyone reached the Bio-Ship, Nightwing spoke with Virgil , Tye , Ed and Sam , noting their success in helping the Team despite no training and that they might have a place on the Team. Before they boarded, Arsenal brought up Blue Beetle's betrayal, but Bumblebee cut him off, admonishing him for opening an airlock without warning and putting the Team's lives at risk.

Arsenal retorted that the move allowed his escape to liberate the Team and he should be thanked. Nightwing thanked Arsenal, but then told him he was off the Team, given that it was not the first time he endangered the Team to further his own agenda or guard against his own personal demons. He said he would not be part of the Team until he proved he could be a team player. The four runaways disagreed with Nightwing's decision and offered Arsenal a spot on their team.

Sam then activated the Fatherbox she had, prompting Nightwing to inquire about it, but the five disappeared through a boom tube. After Nightwing and the rest of the Team returned in the Bio-Ship to their makeshift headquarters, Impulse told Nightwing the Team needed to focus on rescuing Blue Beetle. Impulse replied that Jaime was as much a prisoner of the Reach as the Team was and must be freed before it was too late.

At that point, M'gann and Lagoon Boy arrived at headquarters and Nightwing informed them of the successful mission. M'gann asked about Conner's whereabouts and Nightwing replied he was out with Wendy Harris. After Aqualad 's betrayal was discovered, the Team sprung their trap, and Nightwing's squad sealed off the entrance used by the Light.

During the ensuing melee, he used his eskrima sticks and martial arts to fend off the League of Shadows agents who were ordered to kill the Team, defeating Shadow after Shadow. The battle ended with the heroes victorious, with the capture of the Reach ambassador , Black Manta , the Brain , and Monsieur Mallah.

Nightwing congratulated the architect of the night's events, Aqualad, on a job well done. Kaldur remained pensive over the escape of Vandal Savage , Klarion , Black Beetle , and the chief Reach scientist , but Nightwing and Kid Flash reassured him that this was their most successful outing ever since their very first at Project Cadmus. Nightwing officially returned command of the Team to Aqualad, who was now garbed in his superhero outfit.

Aqualad tried to decline—Nightwing had done brilliant work under trying circumstances. But Nightwing was adamant—he wanted the burden off his back. Why the secrets? Are they just keeping their romantic relationship a secret? Or is there something else going on? Another thing to keep an eye out for — the VR goggles that Barbara uses at the beginning of this scene keep coming back. Much like the Reach drink in season 2, which appeared in some in-show advertisements and then ended up being a key factor to an invasion by a species of aliens, the Goode Goggles are bound to be more plot relevant,.
