Synopsis:

While exploring their new headquarters, the heroes of Young Justice are confronted by a group of former kid heroes - Old Justice, natch - who are working to protect kid heroes by putting an end to their irresponsible actions. A fight scene, initiated by one of the elder heroes, ensues, part of which is caught on camera by Ace Atchinson, prompting Wonder Girl to explain some of Young Justice's recent actions and to call for a hero rally to vindicate the group.

A large number of other heroes - including the JLA, JSA, Titans and the Marvel Family arrive for this rally which is promptly interrupted by Senator Perkins (himself a former hero) and then by the arrival of the real Superboy, whose place has been taken in Young Justice by a nasty cloned version of himself. To make matters worse, the Point Men arrive on the scene, followed by Klarion (bum, bum, BUM) the Witch Boy, who is working on the behest of the Contessa (who is herself behind the Agenda and the Point Men, who have been harassing Young Justice).

Klarion casts a spell that reduces the ages of the mature heroes, but Doiby Dickles (a member of Old Justice) has a device in his hat (literally) which may be able to solve the problem. Unfortunately, when his technology and Klarion's magic collide, the result is to swap the ages of all the heroes, leaving the Star-Spangled Kid and the members of Young Justice as the oldest heroes present.
