"So what you're trying to say is- the two boys are speedsters?" Tye looked at Jaime with extreme doubt. Of course he'd doubt me, Jaime thought. He turned to Bart to try to see if he was convinced. The time-traveler, however, was trying to figure out if he should sleep with matching socks, mismatched ones, or none at all. Jaime sighed, "Hermano, please tell me that you heard at least something that I said."

Bart looked up in confusion before nodding slowly and saying, "Yes, Blue. I heard you. You think I shouldn't wear any socks at all!"

Tye rolled his eyes and face-palmed himself. This was Jaime's new friend? He couldn't get a grasp at what makes Bart so special. Sure, he's from the future and can travel at the speed of light, but why the heck is he friends with Jaime? The Mescalero Apache boy didn't like the fact that this- dense and completely lost boy was Jaime's friend.

"No, ese, I told you that the little niños are speedsters! Like you!"

Bart looked at Jaime in shock for a few seconds while he processed the words through his mind. Then, he turned to the twins- they were currently trying to decide which side of the bed they should sleep on- and looked at Jaime seriously. Like, scary serious. Bart barely ever got scary serious, but if he did, then something was going on in the boy's brain.

"Jaime, if that's true, then you may be in more trouble than you thought."

Jaime looked at Bart in confusion before the realization of the words hit him. Not only were the twins going to be in danger because of Blue Beetle, but they themselves are going to be in danger. What about school? What if they were to be discovered about their powers at school? Moreover, how was he going to be able to feed them? He could give them only so much, and with a metabolism like theirs it was a danger to him and the twins. "Jaime Reyes, I suggest you calm down," the mean Jiminy Cricket in his head said, "Your neurological cells are unsteady and your heartbeat is rapidly escalating."

"Jaime, things are going to be alright," Tye said nonchalantly.

"Yeah. If anything bad happens, we'll help you crash the mode." Bart added while putting on mismatched socks.

Jaime rolled his eyes before deciding this was too much to put up with. "That's it, amigos. I'm calling it a night. We're just going to have to play this whole situation by ear."

The next morning was rather different than what Jaime was expecting. Instead of chaos or mayhem, there was only peace. Of course there was the irregularity of the speedsters all racing to the table for breakfast and the strangeness of Jaime talking to himself because of the scarab, but honestly nothing that tragic or crazy happened.

The afternoon following breakfast was quite eventful. Jaime and Tye decided to try to teach Bart how to use a skateboard. He really knew nothing of the sport and really wanted to try it. So, they all packed up and went to the nearest skate park. It was all quite humorous, really. The whole time Bart kept thinking he got it, but really he didn't and kept on falling. At one point the twins were both going on the halfpipe better than Bart was. The older speedster wouldn't let that discourage him, however, and kept going on as much as he could. Jaime will probably always remember it because of the one time Bart was going decently at the halfpipe before losing his balance and sliding down the side at the end. It wouldn't have been so hilarious if Bart hadn't made that "all hope is lost face" as he slid down. By dinner time, Bart had gotten better al balancing on the skateboard and honestly after all the struggle he thought it was worth it. The boys all returned home in exhaustion and Jaime himself started worrying again.

As a result of the panic that wouldn't stop swelling inside of Jaime, he made a list of who was taking care of what while the twins were in his care. For example, if the twins were to stay home or run away from school, Tye could take care of them until Jaime came back. There was a dated schedule on when his family would be home and when they were out of town- and one to make sure that the twins got their right amount of proteins.

After all the planning, Jaime and Bart got a call to go on a mission from the Justice League. The call had been from Batman, and for some odd reason he seemed to already know that Bart and Jaime would be together. Did they hang out that much? The call itself was a peculiar one. Well, for starters Jaime didn't like the fact the whole team was already there standing behind Batman in the Watchtower. That meant that he had called the Blue Beetle last. Secondly, the call had been extremely awkward because the twins kept saying hello to Batman. After a lot of awkward discussion (well, more of Batman having a one-sided conversation while Jaime and Bart nodded in bewilderment), the two got suited up and left the care of the twins to Tye.

Jaime and Bart had come back from the recon mission in one piece. It was almost midnight by the time they returned to the house. Jaime had run inside with worry when he saw the lights still on but no sounds coming out. Bart followed after, tripping over the shoes at the door on the way in.

What the two found, however, was no sign of threat or madness. Tye and the twins were wrapped in a blanket, sitting on the couch while Tye read a story book in Spanish to the little boys. When Jaime and Bart ran in the small speedsters literally jumped out of the blanket and tackled the two heroes in a hug. All of them tumbled over in the doorway in a jumble of laughing and cuddles. Tye watched from the couch and laughed, soon joining them by walking over and laying on them.

After they all untangled themselves from each other, Tye had told the two heroes about how the little speedsters were able to eat three whole boxes of pizza by themselves and that they usually run fastest when they are touching. In return, Bart and Jaime told the three who stayed at home all about the mission. And literally everything that happened. From Robin's epic maneuver seven with Batgirl to Lagoon Boy's hilarious mess up with pronouncing the location's name. They made sure not to leave a single detail out because it seemed the stories really entertained the twins.

Once again, the day ended uneventfully, but Jaime knew this was the calm before the storm.

Why? Well, because tomorrow was going to be Monday.

And Monday meant school.
