SYNOPIS:

_{After Speedy declines to join the new team, Robin, Aqualad and Kid Flash fear YOUNG JUSTICE is just a big joke…while new member Miss Martian fears there’s no room for her to be part of it. So when the four heroes and Superboy come up against Mister Twister, it looks like all their fears have just been realized…}

!

_{On the docks of Star City, smugglers working for superpowered crimelord Brick are unloading contraband. Speedy attacks them, and Aqualad, Robin, and Kid Flash provide an assist. Speedy takes down Brick with a quick-solidifying foam arrow. The teens tell Speedy about their new cave headquarters, but he tells them that he doesn't need adult supervision, and the League has given the teens a base just to keep them in their place.}

_{Robin and Kid Flash, in their civilian guises, teleport into Mount Justice, and Aqualad tells them that he's on their way. They go outside to greet their mentor, Red Tornado, and ask if they have a mission for them. He tells them that Batman is in charge of their missions, and tells them to keep busy by familiarizing themselves with the cave. Miss Martian tries to scan his mind and realizes that she can't because he's an inorganic machine. Miss Martian offers to give them a tour, since she lives there.}

_{Inside, Robin explains that the cave's location was compromised so the League turned it into a tourist trap. Now Young Justice can hide in plain sight there. Miss Martian realizes that her cookies are burning and flies to the kitchen, and Kid Flash quickly scarfs them down to keep up with his metabolism. Aqualad thanks her and introduces himself by his civilian name, Kaldur. The others introduce themselves as well, except for Robin. When Superboy walks away, irritated that he hasn't come up with a civilian name yet, Miss Martian telepathically tries to reassure him. He tells her to stay out of his head, and Aqualad tells her that telepathic powers are an invasion of privacy on Earth. She tries to apologize but Superboy tells her to stay out of her mind. She gets an idea of what to do next and invites Superboy along. He refuses to talk to her, but goes with her and the others.}

_{In the hanger, Miss Martian shows them her organic bioship. She invites them on board and takes them out for a flight. While Kid Flash admires Miss Martian, Aqualad tells Superboy that he overreacted and advises him to apologize. Miss Martian shows off her shapeshifting abilities, but admits that she can't ghost through walls like Martian Manhunter. She does show the ship's camouflage mode. They're interrupted when Red Tornado sends them to the Happy Harbor power plant to covertly investigate a disturbance.}

_{When the heroes arrive, they find a massive tornado sweeping through the parking lot. It sweeps up the bioship, and Miss Martian manages to land it. Robin slips away from the group to confront the villain inside: Mr. Twister. He knocks Robin down as the others arrive, and they attack together. However, the villain smashes Kid Flash outside and blasts the others back. They attempt to rally but he blasts them and flies outside. Aqualad tells Miss Martian to read the villain's mind, but she gets nothing and realizes that he's an inorganic. She tells her teammates that it must be Red Tornado, and they conclude that he's testing them and keeping them busy.}

_{The team tells Mr. Twister to get it over with, and he agrees. He summons a massive storm, which they realize is far beyond Red Tornado's abilities. He smashes them down and moves in for the kill, only to see them vanish. The villain is unaware that Miss Martian has summoned the bioship and put it in camouflage mode, concealing them. Mr. Twister refuses to search for them, but tells them to stay out of his way next time.}

_{As the team recovers, Superboy complains that Miss Martian betrayed them. Robin and Kid Flash go easier on her, but tell her to stay out of their way. Aqualad prepares to go after them, but admits that he's not sure they have a team.}

_{Mr. Twister sends more tornados spinning across Happy Harbor. The teens attack him without success. Meanwhile, Miss Martian flies toward the town and contacts Red Tornado. He refuses to help, but admits that it's an odd coincidence that Mr. Twister is also an inorganic with elemental wind powers. Upon hearing that, Miss Martian gets an idea.}

_{The best the heroes can do is keep Mr. Twister off-balance. Miss Martian contacts them telepathically and says that he has a plan. A few moments later, Red Tornado arrives and tells his protégés to retreat. Mr. Twister is happy that Red Tornado has arrived and launches an attack, insisting that he's more powerful. The villain knocks the android to the ground and then inserts wires into its skull to start reprogramming it. However, "Red tornado" transforms into Miss Martian, while Kid Flash reveals he's been using his powers to simulate tornados. The heroes smash the villain's suit open, revealing an older man inside. Miss Martian glances at him, then lifts a rock into the air and crushes the man. Her teammates stare in shock, until she reveals that the "man" was an android. They apologize and admit that she rocked the mission.}

_{In a secret base, the man, Brom Stikk, watches Young Justice via a hidden camera in the android's head. A professor in a white lab coat says that he's not upset, and that their tracking program was operational. He believes that Red Tornado is somewhere in the vicinity, and they've learned a lot from their failure.}

_{That night, the team assembles at Mount Justice and tells Red Tornado what happened. The android tells them that it's not their role to solve their problems, or vice versa, and considers the matter closed. Robin admits that having a heartless machine as a babysitter could be a benefit, and Red Tornado points out that he has a heart… and excellent hearing. As he leaves, the team admits that they may have something. Superboy hesitates, and then finally apologizes to Miss Martian.}
