Van felt nervous when Nightwing made his introductions and gave the news that they would be deployed to help stop a crisis. He was somewhat relieved that Superman would be there as well, but it also made him worry about not looking good in front of his cousin. Van prayed to Rao that he would do good for his first mission with the Young Justice program. His teammate Travis seemed to be in pretty good spirits and Van wished he had some of the guy's confidence, but Van had the tendency to worry a bit.

"Here goes our first mission" he said to himself and hurried over to the teleporter following the Flash. Attacking chairs and people floating in the sky. This mission already looked insane.
