Part 2-

-One Month Later- December 1

The El Paso hero found out he was not in his dimension when he surfed the web, yes, you've read correctly. He didn't find out by making a fool out of himself, he found out via the internet. Now, he decided to be this Dimensions (universes) Blue Beetle. He also found out that this Universe Jaime Reyes was kidnapped for no ransom, later everyone gave up looking; all believing him to be dead. Maybe he is.

Jaime tried to fit into this Reyes family curriculum but it was hard, almost harder than being Blue Beetle. Especially with the guilt of them thinking he's their Jaime.

Right now, Blue Beetle defeated another major villain before they could make their presence known. He landed and coughed softly. According to the Scarab, his body was adapting with the new sound wavelength things, making him experience cold-like symptoms. He was fine with that.

He flew home- no, not home—to the other him's home, and landed in his room before deactivating the armour.

"Khaji, how long can I sleep?"

{an hour}

Jaime decided it wasn't worth it and did the rest of his homework instead. An hour later, the Latino turned off his alarm and changed into day clothing (A white T-shirt, a pair of jeans and a grey hoodie).


Jaime headed to Rio Grande High School and was about to enter it when a feminine voice called to him.

"Blue Beetle?"

Jaime turned, humming slightly before he could stop himself. He then winced, realizing his mistake.

"Mierda" he murmured before shaking his head when Khaji Da told him to eliminate her.

"We-" the gold-haired girl said, trying to calm him down.

"I don't care, I am not dealing with this this early, come back when there is a threat you need my help with and I'll help" Jaime stated before turning, only to jump back.

A man, around 19 years of age, stood there.

"Look Jaime" the man said, raising his hands in a sign of peace, "we just came here to talk"

Jaime narrowed his eyes in suspicion, "I was taught not to-"

Jaime tilted his head right when Khaji Da chattered about an alien space craft in Earth's Atmosphere; the man in sunglasses frowned at this. Jaime 'huh'ed and his attention got pulled back to the strangers when they introduced themselves as Nightwing and Wondergirl.

Jaime shrugged and made himself appear relaxed, "so, what can I help you with?"

'Nightwing' opened to speak when his earpiece clicked and a barely audio voice said something. He began talking, said something about sending someone to the moon and a switch of squads.

"This is too weird" Jaime murmured; the Scarab clicked in agreement.

"I'm gonna head into school now, see ya" Jaime quickly trotted up the stairs, he was about to grab the door when-

{Proximity Alert}

A hand was placed on his shoulder. Jaime reacted solely on instinct. He grabbed the wrist and flipped 'Nightwing's body over his head and onto the stone ground.

After realizing what he's done he gasped.

"Lo siento, I'm sorry" the boy apologized and helped Nightwing up, "I didn't mean- I mean-"

"It's fine, I startled you, trust me I got worse from Superboy" Nightwing brushed off the attack.

Jaime couldn't help but blush in embarrasment.

"Look Jaime, sorry we were interrupted, but we really do need to talk" Nightwing stated.

Jaime looked him up and down before crossing his arms over his chest, "alright, what do you wanna talk about?"

"You've heard of Blue Beetle" it wasn't a question; it was a statement.

Jaime got ready to run but made it so subtle not even a Bat would detect.

Nightwing activated a Holo-picture of Ted Kord in his costume.

"Justice Leaguer? Hasn't been seen in months?" Jaime looked closer at the picture as Nightwing continued to explain, "well, he was my friend—and I think he'd want us to help you"

Jaime narrowed his eyes once again and leaned back, Wondergirl walked up so that she was standing next to Nightwing.

"I've been doing fine on my own" Jaime stated, letting the distrust in his eyes and tone show.

"I know what happened over for the last two years was traumatic-"

Jaime snorted; this was ridiculous.

"-but you need allies and someone who could train you"

Jaime looked away, remembering the last time someone agreed to teach him, he remembered the feeling of the Scarab being torn out of his back and the feeling of helplessness when he couldn't feel his legs. But he also remembered the time where his family and friends, allies and trainer, saved him and protected El Paso in his absence.

{Allies in this world will be good, if they deceit us we can break the ties or destroy them}

"Alright" the boy whispered and looked back at the covert hero, "I'm in, but my parents don't know I'm-"

"They know"

Jaime narrowed his eyes.

"You're a minor, parental/guardian permission is a must" Nightwing explained.

Jaime sighed, a month in this dimension and his other self's parents already know he's a hero.

"There's an emergency in Metropolis" Nightwing broke his musing and looked at the boy, "why don't you come along?"

Jaime stared, what did he get himself into?
