JAIME REYES / BLUE BEETLE III

[khajidont]

[stabbyfingers]

Do you truly believe the Scarab is tame, and will always be tame?

[khajidont]

No.

I mean - tame is the wrong word. I believe he'll always do what he thinks is right. But what he thinks is right isn't necessarily what everyone else thinks is right.

[fauxmarth]

Do you think less of me now? Now that you've seen how helpless I can be.

[khajidont]

What? No, of course not! You dealt with a tough situation really, really well. You really think I dealt with it any better the first time that happened to me?

[fauxmarth]

Why? What happened for you?

[khajidont]

[ ............... ]

[khajidont]

Mostly, like, a lot of puking and crying. It was a super bad scene.

[fauxmarth]

O-oh, I...I'm sorry... That sounds dreadful.

[khajidont]

It wasn't great! But it's okay, it was a long time ago.

Point is: I'm the last person to call you a wimp.

[fauxmarth]

Well, you...didn't have anyone around to help you, did you? Like I did. I think I was at an advantage, in this case...

[fridgeflower]

How's therapy going?

[khajidont]

Honestly? It kind of feels like I'm not doing anything. But... I haven't been feeling so bad, so win-win, I guess?

[dragony]

When was the last time you actually tried to dress nicely?

[khajidont]

Ummmm. Uhhhh. I guess...

[ HM. ]

My college entrance interviews?

[dragony]

And how many years ago was that, exactly?

Then, I suppose the better question is, what would actually get you into something nice? Excluding job interviews. And funerals.

[khajidont]

It wasn't that long ago! Like, a year!

[ ... ]

I'd have to have an actual reason to dress up. On a normal day, what's the point?

[dragony]

I don't know, wanting to look nice? It doesn't have to mean strangling yourself with a suit and tie, you know. A fitted shirt and some dark slacks can go a long way.

... Please don't tell me you're taking your dates to iHop in khaki shorts.

[khajidont]

I don't really do dating. Which is kind of the whole point of looking nice? I mean, I don't see the point in doing it for yourself.

[bodilesswarrior]

Was Ted happy, while he was here?

[khajidont]

...no. He had happy days? Happy moments? But there was still so much to work through.

I'm sorry. I wish I could give you a better answer.

[bodilesswarrior]

It's - well, no, it's not okay, but not because of you.

I'm glad he got to meet you, at least. But he won't even remember, will he?

[khajidont]

[ It is, though. Kind of. He was supposed to be looking out for Ted - who else was there? ]

Nope. But... he wasn't exactly in a place to remember anyway.

[bodilesswarrior]

Well, no. But maybe those final moments could have been... [She just...looks away. Then, quietly - ]

I tried so hard to find him.

[khajidont]

I wish he was still here, just for one more day, so you'd be able to tell him that yourself. I think it would have meant a lot to him.
