Justice League: The New Frontier Page #2
Slow down.
-Why bother?
You have to, kid, because we're here.
It's where you get your second chance.
How did you know he was the commie?
He came back for the formula,
that's what nailed it.
He could've killed you.
Like I always say,
when you know you're right...
...it's worth taking a chance.
Now, come here.
Ace Morgan's recommendation
carries a lot of weight at Ferris Aircraft.
I assume he spoke as well of us to you.
He did. And I can't imagine anywhere else
I'd rather be right now, Miss Ferris.
Do you have any questions?
I'm surprised your father
isn't interviewing me.
Not that I mind, it's just that you're a-
-A woman?
My father trusts me with the day-to-day
operation of the company.
If that's good enough for him, it ought to-
-Whoa, wait.
I was only saying that you're a little young
to be running a major corporation.
Oh. Oh, you're good, flyboy...
...but save it for the girls
in the typing pool.
One last question.
In your resume, there's a gap
between July and December of '53.
I was in a VA hospitaI.
Psych ward.
Most people wouldn't talk about
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.
I...
-You keep your mouth shut...
...and your ears open.
I'm about to share some of this nation's
greatest secrets with you.
Couple of years ago, we found the body
of a radical scientist named Erdel...
...in a small observatory near Gotham.
Somehow,
he'd been able to contact Mars.
Mars? You're joking, right?
Yes, Jordan, I'm a real kidder.
We found this footprint
at the observatory.
Did you find what made that print?
No.
Whatever it is,
it's eluded us for two years.
There's life on Mars, Jordan.
And it's come to Earth.
Look, I'm just a pilot.
What does this have to do with me?
You haven't figured it out yet?
We've got to know what these Martians
want from us...
...and since we can't find them
here on Earth...
...we're going to Mars.
Outstanding.
Welcome home, Mr. Jones.
Why didn't I-?
Why didn't you sense me as you do others?
That's my secret.
Why are you here?
Because of The Centre?
The cult's spreading all over the world.
At first I thought it might be
the communists.
But they're having trouble
with the cults too.
It's not ideologicaI.
There's some kind
of psychic force involved.
It's affecting people
with high susceptibility.
Getting into their minds.
I felt it.
Yes, your feelings. How-?
Let's just say that's my secret.
You came here because
you want to work together, true?
True.
-Then we'll share our information.
I've already collected some.
Newspaper clippings.
You'll have to do better than that.
And one other thing, I'm not sure
what you are or where you come from...
...but my instincts tell me
you're to be trusted.
Make no mistake, though.
I have a $70,000 sliver
of radioactive meteor...
...to stop the one from Metropolis.
With you, all I need is a penny
for a book of matches.
What's the matter, Grodd,
feeling starved for attention?
You're government property now, swifty.
We're gonna find out
what makes you tick.
Hey.
Did you see that?
Where did he go?
What you got there, John?
A kids' book?
-Not exactly.
a while back.
He thought the world was about to end.
You like this weird stuff, don't you?
WelI, you should see what they got
in the interrogation room.
He shot a cop on the parkway.
Then we found his mother...
...in his trunk.
Mental case?
-Not your typical one.
This guy's a scientist.
You're here to kill me, aren't you?
You're part of it.
I'm not going to kill you.
And what do you think I'm part of?
The Centre. It's everywhere.
What do you know about The Centre?
It's gonna kill everyone.
I was trying to get away from it.
How do you know alI this?
I just do. I can feel it.
I tried to get in on the Mars mission
but they wouldn't take me.
The Mars mission?
Yes. They're going to Mars.
It's safe there.
Who is going to Mars?
-The government.
They won't let us normaI people go.
Normal people.
Hello, Harry.
I've been very worried about you.
No! Don't let him near me.
Special Agent Faraday.
Harry used to be a helI of a scientist.
Did lots of classified stuff.
We can't leave him in a regular institution
because of what he might spilI.
You're referring to the Mars mission?
