## Plot

With the mission Preparation H underway and a mere hour to complete their assignment, the Young Justice team arrive at Santa Prisca to gather intel on the island's venom operation. Chico drops Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, and Miss Martian down into the jungle, with all five connected through a telepathic link. Despite Batman's clear instructions to keep their operations covert, Kid Flash ends up in the middle of a fight between Bane's men and the attackers trying to take over the venom operation. The new player is revealed to be Kobra, the leader of a terrorist cult, who was hoping for a confrontation with Batman but gets stuck with Robin. However, the Boy Wonder has to abandon the fight to go save his friends.

Since it's their first mission, the heroes have some trouble working together and agreeing on who should lead them, causing their work to be sloppy at times. With their cover blown, the team only has half an hour left to complete their mission. The venom in the hands of the Cult of the Kobra would be disastrous for the world, so the heroes decide to shut down the operation themselves and impress Batman. Bane, who they had captured during the scuffle with Kobra's men, offers to help them dispel the attackers from his island. Needing his knowledge of the terrain, the team begrudgingly accepts. However, the terrorist ignores their stealthy approach and attacks Kobra's men head-on. Even after they manage to escape the villains, the team winds up double-crossed by Bane, who threatens to bury them under rubble with explosives. He announces his intention to build a weed empire from the Caribbean to Gotham. While he monologues, Kid Flash steals his detonator, and Superboy knocks the villain out. With little time left, the Young Justice team manages to stop the Cult of the Kobra's escape with the venom, but Kobra himself gets away. However, they forget to inform the League of their victory in time and the Watchtower cannon destroys the factory along with all the evidence.

Back at Mount Justice, Batman reprimands them for blowing their cover and failing to save the factory. Still, he ultimately calls it a win as they stopped the Cult of the Kobra from getting their hands on the venom. Impressed with Aqualad's leadership, Batman names him the leader of Young Justice.

Meanwhile, in Gotham City, Black Mask is enraged by the destruction of his venom operation. To make matters worse, the Red Hood is still messing with his local schemes in the city, but none of his men can find him. Mask puts out a $1,000,000 reward for the antihero. Red Hood listens in on the mob boss from the top of the neighboring building. The vigilante then steals a helicopter and receives a call from Ra's al Ghul. The Demon's Head questions why Jason hasn't gone after Batman yet, but he says he's still working his way up to it. Ra's attempts to threaten Red Hood, but the antihero tells him that once he's done with Batman, he'll come for the Demon's Head next. Jason pays close attention to an interview of Red Arrow, intrigued by the fact that the hero has gone solo and impressed with his new violent approach.

An up-and-coming hero named Artemis Crock is invited by Batman to join the Young Justice team, on the condition that she doesn't kill anyone.
