Important Author's Note:

Sorry, this isn't an update even though it's been almost two months since I last updated. College has started back up and I've been reading more instead of writing. I do have chapters for a few of my stories ready but they aren't finished yet.

Good news: I've got the urge to write more for the Searching for a Bird series. Bad News: This urge is also accompanied by a need to resort through my story and change my plans for the rewrite. The new episode gave me way too much to work with.

WARNING: *SPOILERS*

Okay, "Satisfaction" was both a blessing and a curse for me. Because it was set on March 21st this means my great final ending for the original SFAB may have to be changed (I hadn't wanted to). I know I will definitely include Connor's Birthday to go along with the Robin brothers. Here are some of my thoughts on the episode.

Arsenal: Oh how I want to include you in my story. Hmm, I might just have to do something about that. *Goes over the options running in her head*. I was so amazed and captivated by him. The ending with Luthor was so obvious and familiar. Poor Red Arrow, having to deal with seeing his clone call down the same path he almost did. I was so anticipating when Luthor gave Arsenal the arm and he showed it to the others and took his new name. I have a feeling the young archer will play a crucial role in stalling and harming Nightwing's plans as well as cause a lot of trouble for the Team. I mean, HE BURNED HIS HAT! I now want a certain super clone to talk to him and tell him exactly why accepting gifts from Lex Luthor is an extremely bad idea.

My favorite lines:

-"Gotta love modern weapons tech, easier for a one-armed man to fire a missile launcher than to pull on his pants."

-'"I'm completely doomed aren't I?"

"One-hundred percent"."

-"Quite the Arsenal you've brought tonight Mr. Harper."

"You haven't seen the half of it Luthor!"

"Oh, I wasn't talking about the weaponry. I myself never go armed. No, the greatest arsenal any man can bring to the party consists of the resources of his own mind: his intelligence…his stratagems…his force of will. And you, my young friend, have all of those in spades."

-"That's a detonation cord Luthor, the kind Lex Corp. sells illegally. It's the perfect revenge. I use your own tech to do to you what you did to me."

"Except, we gave you anesthesia. Your methods seem a tab more…violent."

"We reap what we sow, Luthor."

"Indeed, but are you prepared for the harvest?...Vengeance is a suckers game son and yours can only be achieved by the cost of your own life."

"You think I won't pay that cost."

"Honestly, I have no idea…but I just might be dying to find out." (Bad pun Luthor)

-What is it you really want son: revenge or satisfaction."

-GA: "No, we can't be too late. I can't have failed him again!"

RA: "No wait! Look!"

Arsenal: "Hey guys, what took you so long?"

GA: "Roy, are you alright?"

A: "I'm good. Well, better than I've been in eight years anyway."

GA: "You didn't…?"

A: "Kill Luthor. No, not tonight.

RA: "What's in the case?"

A: "Satisfaction. It's not elegant. Won't fool anyone into thinking it's real flesh and blood, but it's more powerful and versatile than the model Luthor gave his own bodyguard and it will literally make me a living weapon. No one's putting me on ice again, ever."

GA: "Speedy, you sure you okay?"

A: "Speedy died eight years ago. But I kinda like the sound of…Arsenal."

Wendy: Okay, I would understand if there was a Connor/Cassie scene but I DO NOT like this new girl suddenly showing up and potentially being a new love interest for Connor. He should be with Megan, end of story.

Nightwing: Okay, his one, small appearance on what should have been (in my belief and head cannon) a day he starred in beside Connor and not Arsenal was disappointing and anticlimactic. I loved his expression when he listened to Connor and Mal talking about beating up Kaldur and how he just disappeared. I just wish he hadn't disappeared for the rest of the episode.

Jade: Now, I admit, I find it touching how she named Lian after Artemis. I do not however like her idea of joining up with her father Sportsmaster to kill Kaldur and Black Manta. Though showing that he actually cares for his children was a nice touch.

Megan: They could have done more with her scene, at least maybe added another one at the end concerning her decision for the surprise party for Connor's Birthday.

Tim: Okay, our first glance of him in civvies. The black outfit, jacket and glasses totally don't feel right for the genius hacker. Then again, it is perfect for him with the true introduction of a character he usually idolizes. Yep, I'm talking about the often talked about bird that some of us believed was a part of the show do to Nightwing's line in "Happy New Year" to Tim. "Just don't die." There is also the extremely fearful look on the Batclan's faces after the explosion and Tim's guilty look when he sees their totally relieved expressions after he comes up from the water. If you don't know who I'm talking about, well, read on.

JASON TODD: Yes everybody, our favorite, anti-hero former Robin has finally made an appearance in Young Justice and we can now consider him a canon member. Alright, so his appearance was a hologram in the grotto that memorialized him and other fallen heroes. The close-up when it first shows the grotto was amazing. They used similar features to his Under the Red Hood counterpart. I have to admit his appearance was just what I needed to see. Now we just have to wait and see if he makes an appearance as the Red Hood.
