Justice League: The New Frontier Page #3

this kind of thing...

...but I learned a lot about myself there.

I came out knowing who I really am

and what I really want.

You report for training

and security clearance in two weeks.

All right, let's celebrate.

Waiter, some champagne.

Look, HaI,

I don't get involved with my employees.

I understand, Carol...

...but I don't start work

for two more weeks.

Two glasses.

So where'd this hot tip come from, John?

-A source.

WelI, I think I know your secret.

You do?

-Hm.

The tips you get from out of the blue...

...those hunches of yours

that always turn out to be right.

You're dating a fortuneteller.

No, I-

Something like that.

Try the back.

I'll see if I can pick this lock.

You are the tribute.

Yours is the glory

of nourishing the strength...

...of The Centre.

You okay, John?

No, stay away.

Stay away!

Back off, you're scaring the boy.

You'll be alI right now that-

You wilI be judged too.

You wilI all be judged.

Without The Centre, there is no holding.

The Centre? What's The Centre?

Jordan, do you copy?

Negative, Colonel Flagg, no Jordan here...

-... just Spam in a can.

Cut the comedy.

Are you go for 72?

Yes, Captain Personality.

Jordan is go for exercise 72.

Hit it.

-My pleasure.

Spam Jordan is now go for exercise 73.

How's he doing?

-He's tough enough, that's for sure.

But I'm getting sick of his attitude.

-He's a pilot, ColoneI Flagg.

He's used to making decisions

and being in control.

This training goes against his nature.

Can't be helped.

It's all part of the big picture.

Which he hasn't seen yet.

CaroI.

I mean, Miss Ferris, afternoon.

Afternoon, Mr. Jordan.

I trust ColoneI Flagg is keeping you busy.

This stuff? Child's play, Miss Ferris.

Perhaps later I could show you-

Jordan.

What?

-Exercise 73, remember?

Yeah, they tell me 73's the charm.

Good day, Miss Ferris.

What are his numbers, Harry?

-Uh...

Excellent.

Responses in the 99th percentile.

Hm.

Not that I'm complaining,

but where exactly are you taking me?

Where have you always wanted to go?

-That's a leading question.

No, I mean, since you were a kid.

Your big goal?

-The stars.

But at the rate we're going, the Russians

are gonna beat us into orbit by months.

Who said anything about orbit?

Whoa!

A hole in the ground.

Isn't that the wrong direction?

Sometimes you have to go through hell

to get to heaven.

What is all this?

Welcome to the reaI Ferris Aircraft.

See that sour-looking man down there?

He'Il explain everything.

His name's Faraday.

Works for the government.

And if you like Rick Flagg,

you'll love him.

You're weak, erratic, emotional...

...and for my money, at least a little pink.

But I'm told you're the best we've got.
