Ch 4
{sound like a little kid} Dragonfly
[] Blue Scarab
The next morning Jaime woke up with a start "Ugh… Dios mio, what happened?" he groaned [You lost consciousness after experiencing a "shock to the system" as you humans would say.] the scarab explained causing it's host to recall what Flash said yesterday making his pound against his ribcage.
[Jaime are you alright? I reading high levels of emotional distress.]
"No I'm not! I-I have to see Naya now!" his outburst caused Bart to wake up who looked at the panicking Latino then look around the room. "Hey where'd gramps go?" Jaime stopped and took note that indeed, the older speedster was missing. [The elder Allen has gone back to the hospital to return, the information we borrowed yesterday.] the two teens left the Rusty ringer and headed back t o the hospital.
When they got to the hospital the saw that nurse Bitters was… well, doing what she yesterday only now she watching some Spanish soap operas on a mini TV. the red head looked up scoffed "You again? They're in the cafeteria, just follow the off-key music." she obnoxiously sneered before going back to her stories. [this female certainly lives up to her namesake.] Jaime let out a snort causing Bart to look at him "What? Think of a good name for her other then shark-face?" the speedster asked.
[fire breathing jezebel.]
"Ah…no?"
the speedster gave his friend an odd looked before entering the café where the piano music was coming from, and froze then they saw the scene before them,. There was Naya playing the piano for a bunch of little kids and there was Barry dancing and singing into a ladle.
N: "Don't go breaking my heart…"
B: "(high pitched) I wouldn't if I tried!"
The kids and Bart bursts out laughing at them causing Barry to whip his head in their direction embarrassed "What! (cough) I mean, how much of that did you see?" Bart snorted but managed to talk "Enough to know you're a sucky Elton John." The older speedster sputtered while Jaime just stared, at the girl sitting at the piano whose sea green eyes stared back as if examining him then looked at the older blond. "Well, actually I was Elton, he was Kiki Dee." she shyly stated this caused Bart to laugh even harder even Jaime cracked a grin at this while the girl kept her eyes trained on the Latino boy in curiosity.

Kirei's POV
Kirei didn't know why. But, the second she laid eyes on the dark haired boy there was a click followed by a dull pain almost as if something was saying 'Hey! You know him, he's important! Try to remember!?' the blond bit the inside of her cheek as her mind went in a frenzy trying to figure this out
{Kirei…are you alright? I'm detecting an irregularity in brain wave activity.}
the girl winced at the dragonfly's words as Mr. Barry put a hand on her shoulder "Yes, just a migraine." she mumbled causing her new friend to look at her concerned "I didn't say anything. But, maybe you should lay down…" he suggested noticing how the dark haired boy was staring at her in shock and disbelief.

NO ONE"S POV
Jaime waited until the kids were gone then went over to 'Kirei' who was putting stuff away "So…" he started trying to get a conversation going, the blond girl cocked her head with a befuddled expression "Um, I'm Jaime Reyes. And you?"
[the females stress levels are abnormally high, be cautious interacting with her…]
"I'm Kirei? I guess that's all I can tell you Jaime." the dark haired fought back a dry laugh at her introduction and turned to the speedsters for help only to find them gone and a little orange haired kid in their place. who was giving the older boy the stink eye before sticking his tongue out and running off... Jaime blinked before looking back Kirei.
"Oh…Mr. Barry asked me to hang out with you. while he and Bart have some bonding time?"
"(voice crack) Okay! Uh, scuse'me alright let's go."
The two left the hospital not taking notice on how Bitters was eyeing them with a slight smirk before focusing back on her TV. As Jaime and Kirei walked the dark haired teen cleared his throat trying to think of something to say. [Just tell her the truth] he was about to shush the scarab but, the blond beside him spoke up.
"So what brings you Bellrust?" his dark eyes met her green eyes before averting them. [she did] "Uh, well summer vacation I guess. mi amigo and his grand; I mean dad invited me on a road trip." he sheepishly replied, causing her to give Jaime the (I don't buy it.) look that he was too familiar with. and was silently praying that she didn't cross her arms, otherwise he might not be able to control himself.
After what seemed like an eternity Kirei shrugged before smiling lightly which almost caused him to bear hug her "Alright, I won't pry…" she was silent for a moment "Because it's not my business, That why!" she snapped to herself while Jaime stared at the blond as, recognition and panic started to bubble within him. Kirei noticed this and seem to panic herself.
"Um, That's…I!"
"Kirei do you know where the lake is?"
"Yeah, but why? there isn't anyone there." Jaime grabbed Kirei's hand and pulled her along. "Good cause I need to talk to you, privately." he stated before allowing to lead him instead she nodded and led him towards the gas station "Why are we stopping here?" he followed her to doors "To get you a ECR pass." she stated in a matter of fact kind of way.
"ECR?"
"Eco Canadian Rail and Eco Trading Rail, it's a solar train systems that were installed almost everywhere in Canada, to cut back on carbon admissions and to keep the air clean."
"A pass just for that sounds expensive…"
Kirei shook her "Not really, in small populated towns they tend to cut down the price." she pointed at ECR Ticket and Pass prices located on the door. "this town for instance charges 5 buck for an otherwise 15$ temporary pass in most cities." Jaime examined the sign she was right, the original prices were crossed out and repriced to cheaper ones.
Jaime followed her in only for both of them to dodge a cup of hot water come flying at them the dark haired teen looked down at the steaming puddle then heard a scoff "Oh darn my hand slipped…" he quickly look up and saw a cop holding a coffee and the clerks looking on stunned and relieved.
"That was too far Mark, get out!"
"Yeah, what did Kirei ever do to you?"
The cop let out a tsk paid and, made sure to roughly shoulder Kirei as he passed her causing Jaime to glare at the cop the Latino frowned and grab Kirei's arm "What was that just now?!" the female clerks came up and put a wet floor sign "Mark Tattersule, he's the sheriff." this time the male clerk spoke up "And he hates Kirei ever since Doc drag her in to town."
the blond just hummed morosely before turning to the male clerk "Say, Jeff? Could you set my friend up with temporary rail pass?" Jeff nodded then pulled out a plastic card and some forms he slid over to the Latino "Just write your name, a code and how long you're staying…" Jaime did as he was told and, the clerk swiped the card and handed to him as the two teens left. "Have a nice day!"
And that's how the two of them ended up in a small rail car sitting in silence Jaime looked at Kirei who was watching the scenery pass by "Soo that sheriff, Why does he hate you?" the blond next to frowned keeping her eyes on the passing trees "He seems to think I'm cause of all the weird stuff that been happening around town since Kenny found me."
the Latino looked at her puzzled [she's hiding something] "what kind of;" the sound of a cell phone ringing got their the eye girl shrugged "Not me." Jaime reached into his pocket and saw who was calling it was Impulse. He quickly looked away from Kirei to talk privately.
"Bart? Where did the two of you go?"
"Well aside from giving you some time alone with your girlfriend her-man-o."
"(blush) she's not my!;"
"Give it time, anyways me and gramps did a little investigating around town…" Jaime arched a brow and glanced Kirei over his shoulder "And?" he heard Bart let out a whistle "Well it seems Bellrust has it's own hero." the sound of clicking and paper shuffling on the other end,made Jaime stare at it perplexed, before listening to Bart's findings.
"And ever since your sleeping princess there showed up, there had been a series of attacks! And, anyone that was attacked said an invisible flying robot attacked them."
Jaime frowned and bit back from yelling "And what does that have to do with her?" More shuffling and clicking "Well they also said they were rescued by a masked girl with a dragonfly themed suit. and with abilities eerily similar to yours. The locals dubbed her 'Drop-Wing'" Jaime swallowed but looked up an noticed their stop coming "Hey amigo I'll talk to you later, Okay?"
"así, eso es todo? The place where the doctor found you?" Jaime gazed at the surroundings the calm lake and green scenery it didn't looked disturbed or anything. But, something was off the Latino then turned to his blond friend who nodded. Jaime winced at her then took a deep breath "Say…Kirei do you remember anything from or before that day?" Kirei seem to zone out as she thought then shook her head. her male friend seemed saddened by this "Not really I remember drowning and waking up…that's it. Sad isn't it? I can't even remember my…;"
"Your name is Naya Jessica Hasley." Kirei green eyes widen in shock then looked at Jaime like he just slapped her as he continued "Your dad's was David, your mom passed when you were 2. And when you were 6 the two of you moved to El Paso." the blond felt tears form as her head pounded from the painful flow of memories returned to her.
[Warning, the lost one seems highly distraught! suggest that you cease divulging anymore information as a safety matter!]
{the Reyes words are causing high physical and emotional strain on your body, retreat or incapacitate the threat…immediately.}
"You got that scar on you cheek," Jaime cautiously reached out and rand his thumb over her scar. "from a boy named Trevor threw a piece of asphalt at you just because you didn't want to date him." He frowned at the memory he'd never been that blind with anger before. Hell he didn't even remember attacking Trevor, until the teachers pulled him off of the sobbing brat. the dark haired teen then jumped back a bit when the amnesiac dropped to her knees shivering and clutching her head. Jaime crouched down and gently covered her hands "por favor! tratar de recordar, mi querida." the blond stopped shaking the looked up at Jaime…no, not him behind him!
