Chapter Five-

They had soon learned that the Scarab was easier to control when Jaime wasn't stressed out so the Star Labs scientists decided to keep him in a stress-free environment.

Jaime learned to meditate from one of the scientists and began doing it three times a day plus once before he sleeps.

Right now, Jaime was on the roof of the STAR Labs building, watching the sunset, when he felt a strange tingle go through his spine. The child shivered and looked at his back to see his hoodie rustling. The boy gasped and took it off, he stared at the Blue Scarab that was vibrating in shock and worry.

The boy stumbled to his feet and ran inside (after putting his shirt on of course (AN: Because what is he? An animal?)) before heading straight for his room. He quickly sat in the meditating form and took deep breaths before starting.


Jaime opened his eyes after an hour or so and sighed in relief when the Scarab seemed to settle down. He stood and went to bed, after doing the necessities of course! :)


"Jaime!" Tye's voice forced Jaime back into consciousness and the younger boy sat up sharply.

"WHAT?! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Jaime shouted in a panic, "DID IT TAKE CONTROL?! HOW MUCH DEAD?!"

Tye covered his friends' mouth, "No, not that. We're getting out of here"

Jaime gaped at him, "WHAT?! ARE YOU INSANE! THEY'RE THE ONLY REASON THE SCARAB HASN'T TAKEN CONTROL YET!"

Tye shushed him, "I know but they're going to keep us here until we master our abilities, and for you that might never happen! They'll make you stay here your whole life! You'll never see your family again!"

"I DON'T CARE!" Jaime shouted before lowering his voice, "If I Leave I Could KILL My Family! I Could Kill EVERYONE!"

"We can help you control it!"

"No, You Can't!"Jaime felt the first sign of the Scarab trying to take control and took a deep breath to calm down.

Tye grabbed his friends' hands and pulled him out of his room, "please Jaime. I don't want to go without you"

Jaime stared at him before pulling away, the Scarab was on the second stage.

"I-I... I can't!" Jaime whisper-yelled, "I can barely control the Scarab as it is and this place is one of the least stressful places on the Planet! If I leave I could kill someone! I don't want to kill Tye!"

The 17-year-old saw the armour that was wrapping around his friend retract and grabbed his hands.

"I think I found out how you were able to get in control" Tye said.

Jaime stared at him surprised, "I'm all ears"

"I noticed that armour was wrapping around you but when you said you didn't want to kill it retracted as if that was its poison" Tye explained.

The 16-year-ld gaped at the 17-year-old and closed his eyes before reopening them.

"I-I think your right" he breathed in awe.

Tye looked at Jaime in hope, "so are you coming?"

Jaime stared at him before sighing and nodding.

Tye smiled and the two ran to the rendezvous.
