"Infiltrator" is the sixth episode of Young Justice. It premiered on February 11, 2011.

Logline
Artemis faces an uphill battle winning over her new teammates, as she tries to fill Red Arrow's boots on a mission he initiated: saving a brilliant young scientist from the League of Shadows.

Synopsis
Red Arrow (formerly known as Speedy) rescues Dr. Serling Roquette from the League of Shadows but not before she finishes making a weapon for them.



The The Team members enjoy a day on the beach while Wally is stuck in High School in Central City. After a long day of school, Wally finally arrives at their base but too late, because Batman and Green Arrow are already there to introduce to them their new teammate, Artemis. She and Wally get off on a bad start partially because he thinks she was Roy's replacement. Roy arrives and explains that the nano robotics genius that he just saved was forced to make the Fog.

The Fog is comprised with millions of microscopic nanotech infiltrators. They are capable of destroying anything in their path and hacking any system sending the info straight to the League of Shadows.

While explaining the LOS already put their plan in action and used the fog to hack the Miami Beach university.

Roquette is working to make a virus and tracking it so the Young Justice has to protect her since she has to go online making her whereabouts known to the Shadows.

While Superboy and Robin go to get the Fog while the rest of the The Team stayed to protect the doctor.

After a few close calls and an excellent plan, Aqualad, Artemis, Kid Flash and Miss Martian manage to keep Dr. Roquette alive long enough to finish creating the virus. Robin and Superboy finish off the Shadow and stop the Fog from hacking Wayne Tech.

While trying to flee one of the assassins gets stopped by Artemis but when she removes the mask she finds out its someone she knows and the assassin blackmails her into letting her go.

Aqualad then walks out of the cafe with Roquette helping him and Kid Flash along with Miss Martian show up. Aqualad asks if Artemis saw Chesire's face in which she lies about it. Aqualad says it's fine and welcomes her to the team.

Artemis teleports back to Gotham City and is confronted by Red Arrow. He tells her he is in on her secret, but said that he would not disclose her secret since Batman and Green Arrow probably had good reasons for the deception. Still, his suspicion brings him to threaten her to not hurt his friends before leaving.

Sensei reports to The Light that while they managed to retrieve the data from Star Labs they were unable to get the data from Wayne Tech.

The Light is displeased that the team interfered but state that they have an operative on the inside.

Title
Various entities and individuals in this episode could be considered infiltrators. Red Arrow infiltrates the League of Shadows base on Infinity Island. The Fog is composed of microscopic robotic infiltrators that can hack any system and retain the information. Artemis is regarded as an infiltrator of The Team, particularly by Kid Flash, due to her sudden and unsought enrollment in the team.

Quotes
Kid Flash: Hey, hey! I do not need attitude from the newbie who drove Red Arrow off the team! Artemis: That is so not on me! Dr. Roquette: Fate of the world, at stake! Kid Flash: She started it! Kid Flash: What? No! That was Speedy's-I mean Red Arrow's... arrow. Right? Robin: Not so much. Kid Flash: *Scoffs* Well, still not giving her the satisfaction. Artemis: You know, I can still hear you! Miss Martian: He can hear you. We can all hear you. Artemis: Oh, I know. Artemis: Didn't hear him say that. Miss Martian: Must you challenge everything? Artemis: Where I come from, that's how you survive. Miss Martian: That's not really fair. I was outside too. Kid Flash: Outside being distracted by her! Besides I can't be mad at you. [Thinking] You gave me mouth to mouth. Everyone: We heard that! Kid Flash: Dang it!
 * Artemis: Pot, Kettle. Have you met?
 * Robin: You might cut her some slack. It was her arrow that saved your butt against Amazo.
 * Artemis: (looking at Superboy) Mmm...that boy.
 * Miss Martian: You embarrassed Superboy!
 * Kid Flash: (to Artemis) This is all your fault! How'd that Shadow get in?

Red Arrow: Nice move. Almost made me believed you are Green Arrow's niece.'Though we both know you're not. Still I'm sure G.A. and Bats have a reason for lying, so your cover's safe. But I warn you, do not hurt my friends.
 * Robin: WayneTech Override RG-4!
 * Chesire: I suppose now you will bring me to justice, let your new friends interigate me. I wonder if your position is secure enough to survive them learning everything I know. (They stare at each other and Artemis lowers her bow) Didn't think so. So like the Cheshire Cat, I'll just disappear.
 * Artemis: Step into the light, now!
