Part 4-
{This Scarab can neutralize The Collectors attack, Jaime Reyes}
Jaime groaned, "you can? Then what... what are you... waiting for?"
Khaji Da took control of the armour and activated the sonic cannon, both the Reach tech and New Genisis tech blasted sonic waves at The Collector.
The Collector stopped electrocuting them, "New Genisis Life-Tech on this primitive planet?" he looked at Jaime, "and you. The irony of your participation is not lost on my twelfth-level intelligence... But it alters nothing. A portion of this world will be collected, preserved free of contamination"
Jaime stiffened; he knew.
The heroes began to fight the alien and Jaime jumped in. A golden light appeared so suddenly it would have blinded Jaime if not for Khaji's automatic light dampeners, many heroes appeared and Nightwing told them about the bad guy.
A giant red ship blasted the Collector and he exploded.
Soon, the Collector allowed them to leave, but warned them that it was their fault if there was nothing preserved.
Jaime was about to mount to the red ship when the Collector called him attention.
"Bug," Jaime turned, "they are closer than you think"
Jaime narrowed his eyes before turning and he entered into the ship.
They landed and exited the ship. Jaime listened to the heroes talk when Wondergirl walked up next to him.
"Well?"
"Most confusing day of my life" Jaime answered casually.
"So, you're in?"
"Oh, totally" Jaime responded with a grin, at the very least he could find a way to get home via their tech.
Wondergirl smiled.
{This is a bad idea Jaime Reyes}
"I know" Jaime whispered barely auditable.
Jaime entered his other self's house that night and was instantly greeted by his other's family's stern faces.
"Jaime Hcaer Reyes, why weren't you at school?" Bianca damanded.
"Oooohhhh, you're in trouble~" Milagro sing-songed.
"Umm, I was... there was a..." Jaime stuttered; he took a deep breath before telling them what happened, leaving some parts out (like the Scarab being sentient and what the Collector told him).
Bianca, Alberto and Milagro stared at him.
"I-I can prove it" Jaime said, he proceeded in slowly allowing Khaji's armour to encase him.
Milagro jumped back in fear (or was it surprise?), the other two looked at each other.
"N-Nightwing said he got your permission, for me being there" Jaime explained.
"And he did" Alberto placed a hand on Jaime armoured shoulder, "but we expected you to tell us, not someone else"
Jaime looked down, "lo siento"
"As long as you're alright" Bianca pulled her not-son into a hug.
Jaime closed his eyes, hating how they accepted him so fast, like he was their son.
"Lo siento" Jaime whispered, but this time he didn't mean it for not telling them about his hero persona, he meant it for lying to them; not that they would know.
