"On behalf of Atlantis and its citizens, we cannot thank your brave souls enough. My people rejoice at the rescue of their beloved Queen, and as do I. Seeing you here, I have hope for the future of the Justice League. Young Justice has nothing more to prove, in my opinion. If the future is in your capable hands, it is a bright one indeed. Farewell."

Aquaman finishes his appreciation speech with a respectful bow, and promptly marches off into the zeta tube. With that, the gracious presence that he brought washes away, being replaced by the brooding figure of the Dark Knight.

With a funny looking stroll- elbows stuck out and mimicing a 1960's man from a commercial- he approaches the gathering with a smile. Until he notices that Batman is also stood at the front.
