"are you gonna help me?" yale was clearly annoyed as she dropped a few things onto the ground, turning to glare directly at jace. he looked like he had his head in the clouds again, but she was trying to clean the garage up to make space for their band equipment, and she needed help. at least, she had convinced herself that she needed help so she could spend time with her best friend. "or are you too busy daydreaming about ballerinas?"

Young Justice Outsiders Episode 15

"Leverage," the latest episode in Young Justice's nearly flawless comeback season, does two things really well. It likes all the same comics I like, and it uses them to somehow make a really good X-Men episode. That's a bizarre bit of praise for a show that is one of the most thorough and entertaining representations of the DC Universe ever put on screens, but what "Leverage" does exceptionally well is bring the social pressures on metahuman teens, the alienation and the puberty metaphor and the weird power stuff, to the forefront.

Also it's a Rocket Red/Suicide Squad fight with Young Justice in the middle on a show named for the third biggest '80s DC superteam.

The heart of the episode comes in Taos as Ed Dorado is guiding the new residents of the metahuman community center through what their lives are going to look like there. It's staged as an orientation to the facility, with Eduardo senior talking the kids through what the facility can do for them, and Ed junior "translating" into soothing teen patter. This is helpful scene-setting - it shows us how far Ed and his father's relationship has come since they were first introduced back in season 2, but it's also a nice practical reminder that we may have had six months pass since the last episode, but it's basically been two days since the episode before the midseason break in the show.

Ed functions as our guide through a lot of the emotion of the episode. Freddy Rodriguez's voice acting sells the whole scene. We hear concern, frustration, empathy and confidence all from Junior's speech, taking us through everything the kids themselves are supposed to be feeling. Later, the kids are testing out their powers, trying to learn control, and Windfall loses control of her wind powers, sucking the air out of the room and nearly suffocating El Dorado, Live Wire and Mist. Only when Ed teleports her outside does she stop, and then it's not long before she asks for a power inhibitor collar.

The pin they put in the power inhibiting collars is what draws the clear X-Men comparison, for me. One of the things that good X-Men media does is demonstrate how shitty it is to be a mutant. This was the first time on Young Justice that being a meta felt the same way.

There's also a big fight in Russia. The team (Beast Boy, Halo, Geoforce, Tigress and Terra on the ground with Forager manning the bioship) has word of a Russian meta operation, so they head in on the sly to investigate. They discover tha it's not a meta operation, but the formation of the Rocket Red squadron. Unfortunately, on their way out, they run into three Belle Reve "escapees" - Black Manta, Captain Boomerang and Monseiur Mallah rocking a gatling gun. They have an awesome three-way fight that, to me, was completely overshadowed by Amanda Waller being an unstoppable badass on the radio and in person to her "Task Force X". After the team wins out and the League is returning the villains to their prison, Waller comes at Aqualad/man now I guess and stares him down, and honestly it might be my favorite cartoon moment since Waller verbally slapped Batman around in JLU.

OUTSIDER TRADING TIPS

- Rocket Red was an integral member of the classic Justice League International. They're played a little more seriously here, but the mech bonding aspect that looked so intensely painful in this episode is pretty close to the comics origin. They were also Green Lantern adjacent, at least at the beginning.

- Almost the whole Justice League International is here now, right? Fire and Ice showed up earlier in the season, and last week gave us debuts of Guy Gardner and Barda, so we're just missing Booster Gold and Mister Miracle I think.

- There's a nice touch at the beginning - Granny is forcing the crew of Space Trek 3016 to work Beast Boy to the bone because he dared challenge he authority last episode, and as Gar is about to quit, the director reminds him of all the people who would be out of a job if he walked. So he stays. Gar's the real hero here.

- We are supposed to think Dr. Jace is up to no good here. She gets her own lab in Dakota City from Hardware, and she uses it to look at Halo's hair under a microscope right after we see Halo realize that her human form let the assassins into the Markovian royal palace way back at the start of the season. But it feels a little too obvious for writers who are usually more subtle than that. This feels like a head fake.

- Joining Livewire and Mist (HOLY SHIT THAT'S JACK KNIGHT'S WIFE HOW DID I MISS THAT) in Taos is Australian teen tornado making person, Windfall. She's a classic Outsiders character, who fought the team as a member of the Masters of Disaster in Batman and the Outsiders #9.

- In case you were wondering, Belle Reve's Warden Economious is the warden from John Ostrander, Kim Yale and Luke McDonnell's Suicide Squad. I think that whole run is on DC Universe right now, if you need something to read that you won't be able to put down for 70 issues.

"yeah, you're right. i literally trained them to sling merch and socialize with musicians, and now they're stuck here in this hell town with nothing to do but watch their life tick away slowly. or rapidly, depending on what the day brings. cannot even begin to express to you how guilty i feel about that." yale made face, though she was grateful to listen to jace talk about his ballerina. it even brought a smile to her lips. "is she the brunette with the freckles and resting bitch face? if so, i'm glad she's nice to you, because she doesn't look like she's ice to anyone." with a soft grumble, yale stuck her hands in the box in front of her, finally ready to focus. "okay, c'mon. i wanna get through these before michael and prince get home and world war eighty-five starts."

END.

"None of us were made for day jobs," Jace pointed. "Of course he's bored." He scrunched up his face in thought for a moment. "Oh! You mean Cole. I remember her. Yeah, we can give them a fun project to keep them both out of trouble." At Yale's questions, Jace suddenly felt scrutinized, and flushed a little. "Maybe you just didn't realize she was one of the ballerinas; but you've probably seen us hanging out together. We get coffee together most afternoons when she's done teaching class." He paused. "She's nice to me. She's sort of like an M&M. She has a hard exterior."

[exmcrtis]

"they'd probably like that more than working where they're at. i have it on good authority that they're bored. maybe we can also con the cerulli girl into helping?" yale shrugged, glancing back up at jace so she could let his final comment soak in. "you're friends with one of the ballerinas? how did i not know this? actually, don't answer that question, because you're just gonna tell me that i don't know everyone that you do, and i hate it when you're right." sighing, yale shifted so she could look at jace a little better, a soft look on her face. "is she nice? your ballerina, i mean."

"Alright, you've sold me." It didn't take that much anyway. Jace missed it just as much as Yale had. "Maybe we can find some old shirts to repurpose into merch, give Prince their old job back," he teased. At her look, Jace suddenly felt scrutinized. "Um. Well. Yes. I was planning on going, actually. I'm friends with one of the ballerinas."

[exmcrtis]

"our neighbors have it pretty good around here, if you ask me. we can't play into the night unless we're at sammie's, and we're pretty respectful during the day too. we're allowed to make a little noise every now and again, right?" yale flashed jace a smile, plopping a box down on the floor before sitting in front of it. however, she paused at his question, her eyebrows tugging together. "i wasn't planning on it, no. i went to a ballet once and fell asleep. i admire the art, i just can't sit through it." yale shifted so she could face jace better, more and more curious by the second. "why? are you going?"

Jace grinned widely at the thought, already moving to open one of the boxes before pausing. "I don't think that makes you sound like a bitch. Besides, it's not like we're gonna be playing late into the night and keeping people up, anyway." He gestured to the box he was in the process of opening. "Yes! I can talk and dig, you know. I just get easily distracted while digging. So just point me back on track if I forget what we were talking about prior to a cool discovery." As he started sifting through the items, he posed another question. "Are you going to that ballet thing?"

[exmcrtis]

"i knew you were thinking about a girl, but that's not what i expected to come out of your mouth just then. i'll never understand how you always manage to surprise me, even after all these years." yale let out a snort, pointing towards a stack of boxes that had been there since they got to huntsville. "i need you to move those so we can make room for the drums. we need a rehearsal space."

"Hm? Oh - shit, sorry," Jace flashed Yale an apologetic look despite her glare. "I am not daydreaming about anything - well, actually, I was thinking about this girl I met the other day. She was carrying a wedding dress. She literally ran away from her own wedding. And she's Irish." He grinned. "Kind of a crazy type of person to run into, even by Huntsville standards. Anyway, what did you need me to move?"

[exmcrtis]

"stuff i found when we got here, already in this very garage. i hadn't gone through it yet because i was vaguely aware that you like poking through people's stuff, so i let it sit here for years. and now we can finally dig through it like little raccoons." she flashed her best friend a warm smile, her hands finding her hips as he made his point. "this is about to make me sound like a bitch, but i don't care if people hate me. i miss playing music with my friend, and if we have to close the garage door to muffle it, we will. now do you wanna go through this stuff with me or not?"

"i knew you were thinking about a girl, but that's not what i expected to come out of your mouth just then. i'll never understand how you always manage to surprise me, even after all these years." yale let out a snort, pointing towards a stack of boxes that had been there since they got to huntsville. "i need you to move those so we can make room for the drums. we need a rehearsal space."
