Wonder Woman insisted on blindfolding me until we got to their hideout.
"Here we are!" Cap said as he removed the blindfold and set me down. It looked like a living area. There were couches, TVs and a whole kitchen. There were several guys asleep on the couches without costumes.
"Who are they? Do you guys live here?" I asked walking towards the couch.
"The ginger one is Kid Flash, the other one is Blue Beetle." I raised my eyebrow. I knew these guys were all fit and everything but I didn't realise they'd be that hot.
"That's Blue Beetle. I thought he'd be older." Kid Flash stirred at the sound of us talking.
"Is there a mission Cap? Why are you here? Who's she?" He mumbled as he woke up.
"I'm Teagan." I answered as he began waking up Blue.
"So why are you here? New member or something?" That would awesome if I were a member of the Justice League.
"Can I show him?" I asked looking back in my Scarab's direction. She didn't respond she just started to form the Beetle armour.
"Woah... Jaime get up!" Jaime? So that's his name.
"What is it?" Jaime caught sight of me and immediately armoured up, looking at me like I was a threat.
"Calm down I'm a good guy! Girl, you know." I said putting my hands up in a defensive way.
"Threat detected, accessing guns." Scarab suddenly said and I felt the armour around my hands shift again.
"No, no threat. It's fine, we don't need the guns!" I said in a panic.
"Just because you fancy these men do not excuse them for being hostile." The guns faded away, back into the armour.
"I do not fancy them, shut up!" I heard Jaime snicker and I looked back at him. Oh shit I said that out loud.
"Scarab huh? So what are you, The Pink Beetle?" Jaime asked.
"One: ew no. I hate pink. Two: can yours talk to you as well?" He nodded.
"Since she's here and probably in need of guidance, perhaps you could mentor her Jaime Reyes." Wonder Woman suggested.
"What like Batman and Robin?" Jaime asked almost in complaint.
"So it's agreed?" Wow, I'm already a sidekick.
"Um no, I can't! I'm not ready to have a protégé. I don't know if I'll be good at it." Jaime complained. Really? I thought this was going well.
"There's a first for everything Jaime. You'll never know until you try." Yes listen to Wonder Woman, she's a smart lady.
"I don't have a choice do I?" Wonder Woman shook her head. "Fine."
"I'm sorry I'm such an inconvenience!" I yelled catching Jaime off guard. I stormed away. What was so bad about me? We seemed to get along, what was his problem.
"Teagan where are you going?" Kid Flash yelled out.
"I don't know I just got here!" Before I knew it he was right next to me. "Jesus! Could you try to do that without giving me a heart attack?"
"Look Jaime is just on edge around you for now. You're not the first new beetle we've encountered. And they weren't so crash." Crash? Other Beetles.
"So they were villains?" I asked trying to understand him.
"Well if you call almost destroying the earth and being responsible for the original Kid Flash's death being a villain, then yes, one of them was very much a villain. They are able to control you with the Scarab. They did it to Blue once." Kid explained. "I'm Bart by the way."
"Well as you know I'm Teagan. I'm thinking of calling myself Cochineal though." He smiled at me brightly.
"Cochineal, cool. And don't worry, Jaime will warm up to you."
