Mount Justice.
Mount Justice is a mountain just outside Happy Harbor, Rhode Island.[1] Inside was the first headquarters of the Justice League, the Secret Sanctuary. It was later re-purposed as the Team's base of operations, commonly referred to as the Cave.[2]
The Cave has a fully-stocked kitchen,[3] lounge with a large television,[4] the Mission Room with a holographic computer[3] that can also serve as training area,[5] living quarters,[6] and a hangar.[3] There are four ways to enter and exit the Cave. The first is the front entrance located at the base of Mount Justice. The second is the back entrance that faces the Rhode Island coast, and the third is in the hangar. The fourth method is a Zeta-Beam teleporter tube, which members of the Justice League and the Team can travel to and from various locations.[3]
History
Early history
Inside the Cave.
Mount Justice was chosen as a headquarters when a crisis drove the newly formed Justice League there.[6] The mountain was hollowed out and reinforced by Superman and Green LanternHal Jordan.[3]
The secret location of the Cave was compromised by Snapper Carr, and it was infiltrated by the Joker[6][7]in 2006.[8] After this, the Justice League moved bases to the more public Hall of Justice.[3]
A G-Gnome had snuck into the mountain in the hope of being reunited with Superboy. Due to a psychic overload, the G-Gnome forced Superboy to relive Joker's attack on the Secret Sanctuary years earlier.[6][7]
Captain Atom gave the Team a lecture on espionage. Because it was boring, he assigned the Team on an alternative assignment: reviewing the court-martial of Nathaniel Adams.[15]
Batman had to step in in the fight against Clayface, and blamed Aqualad's lack of concentration for the failure. He sent everyone home, which made Superboy remark that he already was home.[4]

Following his trip to Atlantis, Aqualad arrived back just in time for a briefing on an immense power surge in Bialya.[4]
Red Inferno and Red Torpedo attacked the Cave, and captured Aqualad, Miss Martian, Kid Flash and Superboy. Robin and Artemis had to evade the Reds and come up with a plan; eventually, they made a EMP device on Kid Flash's instructions. After the Reds were defeated, Red Tornado returned, and sucked the air out of the Team's lungs.[21] He made it appear like he had turned on them to keep them safe.[22]
The Justice League checked in on the Team, and made sure they were unharmed. After Aqualad's conversation with Batman concerning a possible mole was overheard by Superboy, a fight nearly broke out between them. Batman tries to calm them down by giving them another mission.[23]
Because the League did not give them any results about the search for Red Tornado, the Team decided the do their own investigation. They escaped the watch of the den-mothers Black Canary, Zatara and Captain Marvel while pretending to show around guest Zatanna, and then kidnap her.[22]
Martian Manhunter lead a telepathic training exercise. Unfortunately, it went wrong when, in extreme emotional stress, Miss Martian took over command. Artemis, who had "died" in the simulation, slipped in a coma, and Martian Manhunter had to travel into the exercise to stop it. Afterwards, Miss Martian was devastated her powers had caused so much emotional damage.[25]
Miss Martian and Superboy had invited the entire team to her school's Halloween party. In the end, only Kid Flash came along, after Artemis discovered her crush Superboy was already taken.[27]
Klarion's spell divided the world in two dimensions: one for adults and one for children. After seeing the other disappear before their eyes, both the Team and the League used the Cave as a base to coordinate rescue effort, and they formed a plan to stop Klarion by using Captain Marvel as a messenger between the dimensions.[28]
After Zatara sacrificed himself to the Helmet of Fate to stop Klarion and save his daughter, Zatanna moved into the Cave. Miss Martian, Artemis and Robin helped her move her belongings.[28]
The Team organized a party for Wally's sixteenth birthday. Apart from the Team, Flash and Red Tornado were also present. Batman interrupted the party to give them missions.[29]
Artemis arrived at the Cave, shocked to see Red Arrow was a new member of the Team. After Green Arrow gave a mission concerning Sportsmaster, she volunteered.
Superboy, Miss Martian and Zatanna stayed behind. They soon got bored, and asked Red Tornado for a mission. But since there wasn't any, he left them to their own affairs. When he temporarily left the mountain, the three checked out his apartment, and found the John Smith android. Red Tornado was displeased at the invasion of privacy, but explained his intentions with the android to them.[31]
With the rest of the Team on a mission, Wally prepared himself a late night snack. Robin contacted him, and Wally confronted him with the fact that the "mission" he was on was not one of Batman's, but one of his own. Dick opened up about the real reason, protecting Haly's Circus.[32]
After capturing Riddler, Mammoth and Shimmer, and retrieving a case full of the Light's Starro-tech, Batman congratulated the Team, though he also berated them for hacking League computers and endangering their lives again. After explaining the mole matter to new member Rocket, Superboy, Artemis and Miss Martian revealed that they were being blackmailed by members of the Light.[33]
Returning to the mountain after dealing the Light a decisive blow, the Team was told by Batman the mole in the Team was Red Arrow. They had a hard time believing it. The moment Batman left the Cave, Red Tornado powered down. Aqualad decided to split the Team up: he would search for Red Arrow, while Robin would work on Red Tornado in the Cave. At Zatanna's suggestion, they transferred Red Tornado's consciousness into the John Smith android. After Black Canary attacked them without provocation, Tornado told them to abandon the Cave. They left in the Super-Cycle.[34]
