Tucson, Arizona , April 13, 2031, 9:44 PM
It was a cold boring night, she walked the streets of her home town with ease. Earbuds in ear she ignored cat calls and drug peddlers. Then it happened an angel fell from the sky above, he crashed a mile away. She ran to him as fast as she could.
"Blue Beetle to Base, they're back, the Rea-" Jaime Reyes said to his communicator, his damaged armor could not heal his wounds and he was bleeding out as he flew through the desert sky, then it happened. The ship locked on a fired one last missile at the hero. He fell to earth and crashed in downtown Tucson.
"Scarab, dam, damage rep,ort." Jaime sputtered, blood coughing out of his mouth and teeth falling as well.
*Multiple bone fractures, and breaks, damage to your liver, pancreas, and lungs, internal bleeding and slight brain damage.* The scarab said. *New host needed.*
"Her." Jaime said pointing at a girl who neared their location.
She gasped at Blue's bloody body, his broken armor and unmasked face.
"Oh my god!" She said, trying to beckon an ambulance. Jaime grabbed her arm, she turned to him. He smiled at her.
"Hi, my name's Jaime." He said, spitting up more blood.
"Um, mines Rui" She said, Jaime smirked.
"I don't have anytime left, 13 seconds to be precise." He said, "I need you to take care of the scarab, and in turn it will take care of you."
She looked at him in complete awe, "What?" She asked.
"And make sure not to hand it to anyone who wears the same armor as you and I." Jaime said, he cringed as his ribs stabbed deeper into his lungs.
"I have no idea what yo are saying!" Rui said, Jaime smiled.
"Just promise" Jaime said, "Promise that it will never fall into the reach's hands" With his final breath he shut his eyes and let go of Rui, he fell limp on the pavement. She leaned in to try and give CPR, then the scarab crawled out from under the hero and climbed up her leg and attached itself to her back. She screamed in agony as it formed a set of armor around her body and her vision started to have a slight computer interface.
"My god." She said starring at her now armored hands, she looked down on Jaime.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down'' Rui, Blue Beetle, said clenching her fist.
Young Justice New Light: This Is Not The End Part Two
Cave Justice, April 13, 2031, 10:27 PM
Abby sat in her room in the cave, she caressed a picture of her Kat, Brendon and Yesenia. How could it have gone so wrong.
"Don't worry, I'll save us." Abby said, then the alarm sounded loud. *INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!*
Abby sprung up and ran out of her room to the front door where she saw Blue Beetle.
"Jaime! Did you delete your number!?" She asked, then Beetle took off her helmet. Abby gasped, it was a girl, her age. She was Chinese, had chin length black hair, and hazel eyes. She wore a look of sorrow.
"Who are you?" Abby asked, opening a portal behind the girl to make sure she could not escape.
"My name is Rui Lang, 'Jaime' died in Arizona, he gave me this scarab thingy and it told me to come here." The girl said, Abby closed the portal, and eased her stance.
"I'm taking you to Red." Abby said, grabbing Beetle, Rui followed her to the office. Red Robin sat there clearly mourning.
"Red Robin, can you verify that she's telling me the truth?" Abby asked Tim, he glanced and saw Rui wearing the Blue Beetle suit and shed a few tears. He didn't even care that they saw him without his cowl on.
"Yeah, Jaime's signal went offline, with one final message to The Titans and League." Tim said pressing a button on the computer. Then an audio file played.
*Beetle to watchtower can you read me, they are back, the reach are back, they are hunting me i need back up!* Jaime's voice sounded, *Blue Beetle to base, they're back, the Rea-* Then it went static.
"My lord." Abby said, "He's dead." Tim nodded.
"Who are the Reach?" Rui asked, Tim glanced at her.
"The Reach are an advanced race of aliens obsessed with universal domination and they created your scarab." He said sternly, this chilled Rui's bones through her veins and quickened her heartbeat. 'That's why he doesn't want this in their hands'
"Abby, I know we decommissioned your team, but as a precaution I'm instituting it once again." Red Robin said pulling his mask over his head.
"Tim. I don't know where they are." Abby said, Tim glared at her with the sternest of grimaces.
"Kid Flash and Streak are in Keystone, Robin and Shadow are in Gotham, Surge is at his home in Arizona, and Roulette is on board the Watchtower." Tim said, "And Ginny is at her home in London." Abby nodded and ran out the room.
"Forgetting something?" Rui asked, Abby gave a questioning look at Tim. He slightly nodded at her.
"Let's go Beetle!" Abby said opening a portal, "We are going to London first."
London, United Kingdom, April 13, 2031 10:37 PM
Abby and Rui approached Ginny's residence.
Abby turned to Rui, "Stay behind me, they barley know me."
Abby knocked on the door, it opened and Carmen, Ginny's wife opened the door.
"Hi Abigail is it?" Carmen said to Abby. Abs nodded.
"I need to speak to Regina." Abby said, "Like ASAP."
"Ginny, someone is here to converse with you!" Carmen called, Ginny approached the door. She glared at Abby.
"Abby what is it?" Ginny asked.
"I need your help getting the team back together." Abby said bluntly and quickly. Ginny raised an eyebrow.
"Is this a joke, if so I don't want a part of it." Ginny said shutting the door. Abby stepped into the house through a portal.
"Ginny I know we were all horrible to you, calling you a perve because you are literally fifteen years older, making you unwelcome, but we need you. The Reach are back." Abby said, apologizing for the things she and the others, mainly Terry had said.
"They're back?" Ginny asked, Abby nodded.
"They killed Jaime in an attempt to retrieve his scarab and it was passed to Rui here before they could find his body." Abby said, Ginny and Carmen cringed.
"Ginny, I need your help, The League will need your help. I know you hate code-names and what not," Abby said, "I'm not asking you to become Oracle, but to help us stop the Reach." Ginny put a hand on her head and looked to Carmen who smiled.
"Go, the world needs your big brain." Carmen said.
"Ginny, I know it's hard, trust me, but fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing. So what do you say, save the world today, to ensure a tomorrow?" Abby said smiling at her, she reached her hand out to Ginny, who stared at it for a moment or two. Ginny clasped hands with Abby.
"Let's get to work." Ginny said, Abby and Rui smiled and gave each other a high five.
Abby opened a portal and Ginny and Beetle walked through, she stayed for a moment.
"How did you know she was Autistic?" Carmen asked, Abby smirked with a tear in eye.
"Because so was my mom once long ago." Abby said, Carmen gave her a slight hug and patted her on the back.
"I'm sure she will be proud you." Carmen said, Abby smiled, "Now go go save our asses, you're not the Young Justice for nothing." Abby laughed and ran through her portal shutting it behind her. Carmen smiled and crossed her arms and looked up.
"They got this." She said with confidence.
Watchtower, April 13, 2031 10:44 PM
*Ginny, C06, Cosmo, C07, Blue Beetle, A23* The computer sounded as the three ran onto the Watchtower, booming with life heroes scurried to a position to get ready for Batman's attack plan against the Reach.
"Beetle, find Superman, he'll integrate you to the towers systems, Abby, get Roulette." Ginny commanded as she went to find Batman. The three ran to their destinations.
"Roulette, Micheal." Abby said to Micheal.
"Abby!" He said hugging her.
"The team's getting back together!" Micheal said to her.
"I know I can't wait!" Abby said to him Nightwing walked over.
"Batman has another plan for you and Marine" Damian said, Abby grew confused.
"I'm not on the team?" She asked, Nightwing shook his head.
"No you still are, but he needs to round up Marine, Batgirl and now Blue Beetle and breach the Reach's ship while everyone else attacks on the front." Damian said, Abby nodded.
"I can do that." She said, slightly doubting success.
"Superman?" Rui asked Conner Kent, he grinned at her.
"Red told me about a new Beetle." Kon said, Rui smiled.
"Now let's give you a code and signal, you'll need it on this mission." He said, he gave her communicator, she grabbed it and integrated to her scarab.
"Is that is?" She asked, he nodded. Rui started to walk off.
"Conner it's time." Wally said to him.
"On it." Superman said, he flew out of the Watchtower and fired his laser eyes at the incoming ships with Superlad, Jon Kent, and The Lanterns.
"Ginny you will coordinate the operation with Guardian." Dick said to her, she nodded.
"Well let's get this started." She said to Mal.
"Good, now Roulette, you bring this to Kid Flash, we will need all hands on deck." Batman said, Micheal nodded and grabbed the box. He dashed out of the watchtowers zeta tubes.
"Cosmo, Blue Beetle, Marine, you have your mission." Batman said. The girls them ran to the door.
Keystone City, April 13, 2031, 11:01 PM
"Michel I can't." Dylan said to Roulette, trying to shut the door in his face.
"Kid Flash can't." Micheal said, "They didn't say shit about Velocity." He handed Dylan a box, witch he opened. Revealing a red and black suit that resembled Nate's sister's.
"Dylan West, your whole family is in on this, maybe it's an Allen West thing but you can't hold back." Micheal said as Dylan put on the suit.
"Let's get to it." Dylan said running out of his home locking the door. He slapped his hip. "Giddy up." Micheal got on his back and they ran off.
Gotham City, New Jersey, April 16 2031, 3:30 PM
"Sorry Cosmo, I don't want to join your little suicide squad." Batgirl said, Abby grew mad, her brow furrowed and teeth gritted.
"Carrie, don't you care about Terry and Kat, they are in trouble!" Abby said, Carrie ignored her and went back to packing her bag.
"Carrie, I know what it's like to be alone, no one there to catch you when you fall." Abby started, "I know what it's like to cry alone at night, to be down to nothing." Carrie payed little mind.
"Food I need that!" Carrie said, Abby went to her desk and picked up the Batgirl suit.
"I know what it's like, to need someone to help you believe again, the team helped me," Abby said, "They will help you too." Carrie dropped her bag on her bed.
"I don't need help Abby." She said calmly, she put her hair in a pony tail, "I need to leave this town."
"I thought the same thing Carrie." Abby said, "Now if you don't want to join the team, that's fine." Carrie finally started listening to Abby's pleas.
"But you need to want to save your world, if not for yourself, but for your future children, and their children." Abby said. Carrie snorted.
"For the things that can be fixed, the things that are good in this fucked up world." Abby said, handing back the Batgirl suit. Carrie grabbed it in her hands and stared down on it. She breathed heavily and bit a lip. She rubbed the leather and silk of the costume.
"That symbol means something here, when you first put it on you represented it." Abby said, Carrie smirked, shedding a single tear that dripped down onto her suit.
"Well you want to save this shit hole, let's get started." Carrie said putting on her suit. Abby smirked. "Thought you'd say that." Abby snickered. As she climbed out of the window with Batgirl back to Marine and Blue Beetle.
"Ladies, we are outsiders." Abby said opening a portal, and the girls walked onto the Reach's mother ship.
