(Part 1) Patrol Gone Wrong-
Blue Beetle flew over El Paso as he patrolled when a scream filled the air. The Hispanic drifted to the ground and quickly made his way to where he had heard it. He saw a whole mob cornering a family.
"Pl-please, spare my children" the mother pleaded as she held her three children close to herself.
The people in the mob laughed and stalked closer, weapons at a ready. The humanoid Beetle activated a Sonic Cannon, aimed and fired.
Half of the mob got hit and the other half turned their attention to the El Paso Protector.
Blue attacked again. He took out 1/3rd of them and the rest charged at him.
'At least they aren't targeting the family' Jaime thought as he fought.
The family ran past the fighting and got to safety.
A figure dropped down from above, while the mob attacked the bug, and landed on Jaime's back. The boy yelped when his legs gave out from under him and he hit the ground, hard. Before the Hispanic child could understand what was happening, he felt a familiar object clip onto Khaji Da and gasped in shock when cold air hit his unprotected skin.
Barbed wire was wrapped around his wrists and ankles making his eyes widen and his wrist to slightly bleed.
'No' he thought in horror and struggled with vigor.
"Let Me Go!" the Hispanic demanded.
The figure laughed a deep laugh, "now, now little one, I can't do that" the figure leaned in close and grabbed Jaime's chin with his gloved fingers, "I have a contract to complete"
The 16-year-old tried to rip his head away but the cloaked human held on tightly. They produced a needle with clear liquid and injected it into the panicking child.
"Night, Night Bug"
Everything went dark.
