Justice League: Throne of Atlantis Page #4

and I'm not going anywhere.

These photos of Arthur

Curry are proof positive

- of everything I've been working towards.

- I'm very pleased for you, doctor.

The world will have to believe me now.

They'll know what I know.

- Call me after you've made contact.

- I will.

Congratulations, David.

I could not have found him without you.

Thank you, sir.

Manta to Drift One, report.

Payload ready, sir.

Excellent. I will handle the rest.

Take your men to Mercy Reef. Give Dr. Shin

and the half-breed my warmest regards.

Hello? Mr. Curry? Hello?

You have to go away.

Go away or kill me.

I must talk to you, Mr. Curry.

Come back later. I'm really hung right now.

And not in the good way.

I have information you need to know.

It's about your father.

Thank you for seeing me, Arthur.

I have answers for you. I know what you seek.

Slow down. Slow down.

I had a rough night. Who are you?

I am Dr. Stephen Shin,

theoretical marine biologist.

Your father, Thomas, contacted me.

My father's dead.

I know. He was looking for

answers and I have them.

You, my boy, are the key

to all of my research.

Okay, I'm gonna let you in because I

just can't talk through a door anymore.

What the hell?

Look out!

Stand down while you can.

Arthur Curry is under my protection

by order of Queen Atlanna.

Relinquish him to us, Mera.

Or what?

Or we'll take him over

your smoldering corpse.

You are welcome to try.

Fire.

Follow my lead.

I am an investigative reporter,

you know.

Journalism's dead.

Someone got here first.

- Looks like it's been ransacked.

- That's not all.

Someone destroyed Shin's life's work.

Then where's Shin?

Probably dead.

How do you figure?

You don't destroy someone's work

and then let them live to re-create it.

Good point.

Don't touch anything.

Who is this?

Whoever he is, he's got gills too.

Cyborg, run your facial-recognition

program off this picture.

Roger that.

- Name's Arthur Curry.

- I've got a water-logged letter...

from a Thomas Curry. But it's illegible.

Cyborg, can you extrapolate this text?

You got it. Coming at you now.

Thomas Curry begging Dr. Shin

for help with his son, Arthur.

- Why Shin?

- Shin suspects Curry's son...

is half-Atlantean.

Invoke the emergency protocols.

We must tend to our wounded first.

Do you see? Do you see what the

surface dwellers are capable of?

This is terrorism.

No, this is an act of war.

- Yes.

- I agree with him.

Our people swim in a cloud

of fear of the surfacers.

This attack tells us what we already know.

The surface world wants us dead.

My father distrusted the humans.

He saw them as inferior to us.

He made plans to cleanse the surface.

And I say we break the seal
