A thief is fleeing a store after robbing it. Before he can get far, he is tripped up by an [[trick arrow|arrow]], which releases knockout gas. [[Red Arrow]] arrives on the scene, and proceeds to collect the stolen money. [[Jeremiah|The manager]], having seen everything, offers him a reward. Red Arrow claims that it isn't necessary, but does take a stack of bills for himself. The manager thanks him, not knowing he has been cheated. Unknown to either of them, [[Green Arrow]] is watching from a distance. He contacts someone, telling them the situation is worse than expected.

[[Miss Martian|M'gann]], [[Lagoon Boy|La'gaan]], [[Guardian|Mal]] and [[Blue Beetle|Jaime]] are watching the shield go up. La'gaan thinks it's an historic event, and asks [[Lucas Carr]], who is homeschooling [[Beast Boy|Garfield]], to assign his pupil a term paper on the shield. Garfield does not take the suggestion kindly. La'gaan goes on, explaining to M'gann how all interplanetary Zeta-Beam travel is now impossible without approval. [[Superboy]] is not fully impressed with the shield, as it does not block [[boom tube]]s or spaceships. Jaime asks, out loud, what a boom tube is, but he's not happy that his [[Scarab]] gives him a vague answer. Mal and Kon watch him argue with himself. Superboy inquires about Nightwing, but he's out on personal business. He grabs Jaime and drags him along, telling an inquisitive Mal that he is doing his own personal business.

Roy shoots his zipline, but his landing on the rooftop is far from perfect. He stumbles and falls, and lands at Green Arrow's feet. He refuses help, but then sees his mentor is not alone: [[Nightwing]], [[Jim Harper]], [[Black Canary]] and [[Kid Flash|Wally West]] are also there.

[[File:Superboy's explanation.png|200px|thumb|[[Superboy]] explains the situation to [[Blue Beetle]].]]Red Arrow brushes them off, but as he turns to leave, Green Arrow confronts him about the money he stole. Red Arrow justifies his theft by saying he deserved it. The owner offered him a reward anyway, and he won't miss the missing sum. Besides, he needs it to continue looking for [[Arsenal|Speedy]], now that the others have given up the search.

In the [[Sphere|Super-Cycle]], Superboy, Blue Beetle and [[Wolf]] follow a white van at the capital's Southeast Freeway. Blue Beetle, upon his Scarab's insistence, asks about the mission. Superboy explains that because the bomb on [[Malina Island]] was alien, he suspects the involvement of [[Intergang]], notorious alien tech traffickers. He was keeping tabs on known Intergang member [[Whisper A'Daire]], and discovered she and [[Bruno Mannheim]] are on the move. They're in the white van, and are heading for the [[Hall of Justice]].

Dinah confronts him on his health, but Roy believes he is in his best shape of his life. She attacks him, and easily defeats him even though she was holding back. She reminds him of how he used to treat his body like a temple, but Roy believes that his body isn't a temple: it's merely a clone.

Bruno and Whisper arrive at the Hall of Justice and carry a briefcase toward the building. Blue Beetle tries to scan it but his Scarab says that it is "incompatible". When Superboy wonders who his teammate is talking to, Blue Beetle explains that the Scarab grafted to his spine gives him his powers, and comes with an artificial intelligence. Superboy has him scan the Hall, and Blue Beetle confirms that it's deserted.

Mannheim reaches the building and opens the case, revealing an Apokoliptan device. They move in, but Mannheim activates the device, sending out waves of energy that freeze Blue Beetle's armor. Inside, the husks of the [[Appellaxian]] warriors that the Justice League defeated on their first adventure reanimate and merge into one.

Mannheim reaches the building and opens the case, revealing an [[Apokolips|Apokoliptan]] device. They move in, but Mannheim activates the device, sending out waves of energy that freezes Blue Beetle's armor. Inside, the husks of the [[Appellaxian]] warriors that the Justice League defeated on their first adventure reanimate and merge into one.
   
 
Outside, Superboy and Wolf confront Mannheim and Whisper. Before the heroes can do anything, the merged Appellaxian [[golem]] breaks through the wall. Mannheim commands it to attack Superboy, while Sphere creates a device to neutralize Mannheim’s device. Blue Beetle recovers once the device is shut off, but when he attacks with a sonic blaster, the golem redirects the energy attack, stunning both he and Superboy. Wishing to escape before the League responds, Mannheim orders the golem pick him and Whisper up, and fly away with them.

Superboy and Blue Beetle follow Mannheim, and Superboy, a little exasperated at the freshman's lack of research, recounts about the Appellaxian invasion and how the crystal body was able to bounce back energy waves. Sphere tracks the apokoliptian device's signal, and they track it towards the forest near Arlington.

Green Arrow offers Red Arrow the chance to fight crime with him like old times, but this angers Red Arrow. He believes that the real Roy Harper should be the one fighting crime instead of him. Jim interrupts by stating that that he understand how hard it was to accept that he was a clone, which is why he gave up his identity of Guardian. Roy accuses Jim of giving up on the search for original Roy, but Jim replies by stating that they searched for Speedy, but they couldn't find him because [[the Light]] didn't keep him alive. Cadmus's policy was to delete the source material. He tells Roy to that he needs to be alive to honor the original Roy.

Superboy grabs Mannheim and Whisper, who warns him that thanks to his interference, no one is controlling the golem. Blue Beetle staples them to trees, and the heroes go after the golem to keep it away from the reactor. Their teamwork manages to bring it down, and Blue Beetle shoots large clamps to pin it down so Sphere can try to take control of it. The golem knocks them all aside and frees itself, and the Scarab suggests that it might be able to communicate with it.

Roy wonders why Wally was here because he thought he ditched the hero game. Wally says that even though he ditched the hero gig, he wouldn't ditch his friends. Roy was his friend not Speedy. Nightwing says that Speedy was taken before any of them met. Red Arrow was the one they trained with, fought with, and were friends with.

Roy is whelmed by the attention and wonders why Wally was here because he thought he ditched the hero game. Wally says that even though he ditched the hero gig, he wouldn't ditch his friends. Roy was his friend, not Speedy. Nightwing says that Speedy was taken before any of them met. Red Arrow was the one they trained with, fought with, and were friends with. Red Arrow asks if they're all done and tells them if they seek to salvage someone's soul, they should do so for [[Aquaman|Aqualad]] after the things he heard. Red Arrow is not done with his search and tells everyone to leave him alone as he departs. The assembled group are left distraught by his choice.

Blue Beetle uses a sonic beam to try to establish communication with the golem. They discover that the creature is in pain from all the power of life. The golem wants to use the reactor to destroy itself and end the pain, and Superboy offers to help it. However, the Partner fires a sonic blast, disrupting the communication beam and shattering the golem. The guards thank Superboy for his help while Blue Beetle realizes that the creature was alive, and wonders who killed it. When they go back to get Mannheim and Whisper, they discover that the villains are alive but comatose.

Wally West returns home to [[Tigress|Artemis]] and [[Brucely|their pit bull]]. He informs her of the failed intervention and then remembers his Vietnamese Literature paper is due in the morning, he asks—perhaps jokingly—if he can copy off of hers. She cheerfully refuses. They then celebrate Valentine's Day. They embrace, but the moment is bittersweet for Wally, who fears Roy will never get help.

Roy breaks into his own apartment, and breaks down on the couch. [[Cheshire]] confronts him about his physique, but Red Arrow rebuffs her concerns, as she lost the "right" to criticize him when she left him to return to a life of crime. Cheshire disagrees, stating it was only a side benefit for her actual reason: his search for Speedy was wearing him down. It was detrimental to him, her, their relationship, and their daughter. Roy is shocked to learn he's a father. Cheshire introduces him to [[Lian Nguyen-Harper]], and gives her to Roy to hold. She explains she called in all her chips, and has found a lead on Speedy they could pursue together.

The main focus of the title "Salvage" is to rescue, in this case it applies to [[Red Arrow]]'s soul. He turns this around and asks his 'rescuers' to save Aqualad's soul instead. Later, [[Cheshire]] also steps in to help him get his act together. The other application of the title pertains to an alternative definition for salvage, in which something useful or valuable is extracted from items thrown away. This refers to [[Bruno Mannheim]]'s re-use of the [[Appellaxian]] husks to create the [[Golem]] to act as [[Intergang]]'s enforcer. A third definition of salvage, used in the Philippines as slang for extrajudicial killing, could pertain to the [[Black Beetle|Partner]]'s summary execution of the Appelaxian Golem.

Synopsis

 
Washington, D.C.
February 13, 21:06 EST
Red Arrow's deception

Red Arrow sneaks some cash for himself.

A thief is fleeing a store after robbing it. Before he can get far, he is tripped up by an arrow, which releases knockout gas. Red Arrow arrives on the scene, and proceeds to collect the stolen money. The manager, having seen everything, offers him a reward. Red Arrow claims that it isn't necessary, but does take a stack of bills for himself. The manager thanks him, not knowing he has been cheated. Unknown to either of them, Green Arrow is watching from a distance. He contacts someone, telling them the situation is worse than expected.

 
Taos
February 13, 19:49 MST

At STAR Labs' Erdel Initiative, Adam Strange and Eduardo Dorado Sr. are making the final preparations for the Zeta-Shield. He contacts the Watchtower, telling the Justice League that the shield satellites are in place.

 
The Watchtower
February 13, 21:50 EST

Captain Atom gives Strange the go-ahead. The satellites are activated, and the new Zeta-Shield completely covers the planet.

 
Mount Justice
February 13, 21:51 EST
Zeta-Shield is operational

The Zeta-Shield is fully operational.

M'gann, La'gaan, Mal and Jaime are watching the shield go up. La'gaan thinks it's an historic event, and asks Lucas Carr, who is homeschooling Garfield, to assign his pupil a term paper on the shield. Garfield does not take the suggestion kindly. La'gaan goes on, explaining to M'gann how all interplanetary Zeta-Beam travel is now impossible without approval. Superboy is not fully impressed with the shield, as it does not block boom tubes or spaceships. Jaime asks, out loud, what a boom tube is, but he's not happy that his Scarab gives him a vague answer. Mal and Conner watch him argue with himself. Superboy inquires about Nightwing, but he's out on personal business. He grabs Jaime and drags him along, telling an inquisitive Mal that he is doing his own personal business.

Roy shoots his zipline, but his landing on the rooftop is far from perfect. He stumbles and falls, and lands at Green Arrow's feet. He refuses help, but then sees his mentor is not alone: Nightwing, Jim Harper, Black Canary and Wally West are also there.

Superboy's explanation

Superboy explains the situation to Blue Beetle.

Red Arrow brushes them off, but as he turns to leave, Green Arrow confronts him about the money he stole. Red Arrow justifies his theft by saying he deserved it. The owner offered him a reward anyway, and he won't miss the missing sum. Besides, he needs it to continue looking for Speedy, now that the others have given up the search.

In the Super-Cycle, Superboy, Blue Beetle and Wolf follow a white van at the capital's Southeast Freeway. Blue Beetle, upon his Scarab's insistence, asks about the mission. Superboy explains that because the bomb on Malina Island was alien, he suspects the involvement of Intergang, notorious alien tech traffickers. He was keeping tabs on known Intergang member Whisper A'Daire, and discovered she and Bruno Mannheim are on the move. They're in the white van, and are heading for the Hall of Justice.

Black Canary's disappointment

Black Canary tries to help Red Arrow.

Black Canary tries to help Roy. She knows he feels lost, but he claims he isn't the one lost. Dinah confronts him on his health, but Roy believes he is in his best shape of his life. She attacks him, and easily defeats him even though she was holding back. She reminds him of how he used to treat his body like a temple, but Roy believes that his body isn't a temple: it's merely a clone.

Bruno and Whisper arrive at the Hall of Justice and carry a briefcase toward the building. Blue Beetle tries to scan it but his Scarab says that it is "incompatible". When Superboy wonders who his teammate is talking to, Blue Beetle explains that the Scarab grafted to his spine gives him his powers, and comes with an artificial intelligence. Superboy has him scan the Hall, and Blue Beetle confirms that it's deserted.

Husks are escaping imprisonment

The Appellaxian husks escape confinement.

Mannheim reaches the building and opens the case, revealing an Apokoliptan device. They move in, but Mannheim activates the device, sending out waves of energy that freezes Blue Beetle's armor. Inside, the husks of the Appellaxian warriors that the Justice League defeated on their first adventure reanimate and merge into one.

Outside, Superboy and Wolf confront Mannheim and Whisper. Before the heroes can do anything, the merged Appellaxian golem breaks through the wall. Mannheim commands it to attack Superboy, while Sphere creates a device to neutralize Mannheim’s device. Blue Beetle recovers once the device is shut off, but when he attacks with a sonic blaster, the golem redirects the energy attack, stunning both he and Superboy. Wishing to escape before the League responds, Mannheim orders the golem pick him and Whisper up, and fly away with them.

Superboy and Blue Beetle follow Mannheim, and Superboy, a little exasperated at the freshman's lack of research, recounts about the Appellaxian invasion and how the crystal body was able to bounce back energy waves. Sphere tracks the Apokoliptan device's signal, and they track it towards the forest near Arlington.

Red Arrow is angry

Red Arrow angrily rejects Green Arrow's offer.

Green Arrow offers Red Arrow the chance to fight crime with him like old times, but this angers Red Arrow. He believes that the real Roy Harper should be the one fighting crime instead of him. Jim interrupts by stating that that he understands how hard it was to accept that he was a clone, which is why he gave up his identity of Guardian. Roy accuses Jim of giving up on the search for the original Roy, and Jim replies by stating that they searched for Speedy, but they couldn't find him because the Light didn't keep him alive. Cadmus's policy was to delete the source material. He tells his "brother" to that he needs to be alive to honor the original Roy.

 
Arlington
February 13, 22:45 EST

Meanwhile, Mannheim explains to Whisper that his device has tapped into the residual psychic energy of the golem's alien controllers, thereby reanimating it. He plans to use it as an enforcer to expand Intergang's reach. The Super-Cycle arrives, and jams the device's signal. The golem goes berserk, attacks Whisper and Mannheim, destroying the device. It then lunges at Sphere. It knocks the vehicle out of the sky and easily brushes aside the attacks of Superboy, Wolf, and Blue Beetle.

The Golem on a rampage

Free from Intergang's control: The Golem goes on a rampage.

Once the heroes are unconscious, the golem spots a nearby nuclear power plant and walks towards it. The guards try to hold it off without success.

From the shadows, the Partner and Sportsmaster watch the events unfold. The Partner is content to let the power plant go into meltdown, but tells Sportsmaster to dispose of the others.

Superboy grabs Mannheim and Whisper, who warns him that thanks to his interference, no one is controlling the golem. Blue Beetle staples them to trees, and the heroes go after the golem to keep it away from the reactor. Their teamwork manages to bring it down, and Blue Beetle shoots large clamps to pin it down so Sphere can try to take control of it. The golem knocks them all aside and frees itself, and the Scarab suggests that it might be able to communicate with it.

Roy is whelmed by the attention and wonders why Wally was here because he thought he ditched the hero game. Wally says that even though he ditched the hero gig, he wouldn't ditch his friends. Roy was his friend, not Speedy. Nightwing says that Speedy was taken before any of them met. Red Arrow was the one they trained with, fought with, and were friends with. Red Arrow asks if they're all done and tells them if they seek to salvage someone's soul, they should do so for Aqualad after the things he heard. Red Arrow is not done with his search and tells everyone to leave him alone as he departs. The assembled group are left distraught by his choice.

The Partner destroys the Golem

The Partner destroys the Golem.

Blue Beetle uses a sonic beam to try to establish communication with the golem. They discover that the creature is in pain from all the power of life. The golem wants to use the reactor to destroy itself and end the pain, and Superboy offers to help it. However, the Partner fires a sonic blast, disrupting the communication beam and shattering the golem. The guards thank Superboy for his help while Blue Beetle realizes that the creature was alive, and wonders who killed it. When they go back to get Mannheim and Whisper, they discover that the villains are alive but comatose.

Sportsmaster returns and reports to the Partner that he left Mannheim and Whisper neutralized as a warning to anyone who would interfere with the Light. He questions the Partner on the destruction of the golem as the Partner says that it was better to destroy the golem then let it fall into enemy hands, something Sportsmaster agrees with.

 
Palo Alto
February 14, 00:03 PST

Wally West returns home to Artemis and their pit bull. He informs her of the failed intervention and then remembers his Vietnamese Literature paper is due in the morning, he asks—perhaps jokingly—if he can copy off of hers. She cheerfully refuses. They then celebrate Valentine's Day. They embrace, but the moment is bittersweet for Wally, who fears Roy will never get help.

Red Arrow's surprise.

Roy arrives at home with a surprise.

Roy returns to his apartment, where he breaks down on the couch. Cheshire confronts him about his physique, but Red Arrow rebuffs her concerns, as she lost the "right" to criticize him when she left him to return to a life of crime. Cheshire disagrees, stating it was only a side benefit for her actual reason: his search for Speedy was wearing him down. It was detrimental to him, her, their relationship, and their daughter who she reveals to him. Roy is shocked to learn he's a father. Cheshire introduces him to Lian Nguyen-Harper, and gives her to Roy to hold. She explains she called in all her chips, and has found a lead on Speedy they could pursue together.

Title

The main focus of the title "Salvage" is to rescue, in this case it applies to Red Arrow's soul. He turns this around and asks his 'rescuers' to save Aqualad's soul instead. Later, Cheshire also steps in to help him get his act together. The other application of the title pertains to an alternative definition for salvage, in which something useful or valuable is extracted from items thrown away. This refers to Bruno Mannheim's re-use of the Appellaxian husks to create the Golem to act as Intergang's enforcer. A third definition of salvage, used in the Philippines as slang for extrajudicial killing, could pertain to the Partner's summary execution of the Appelaxian Golem.
