It was supposed to be a simple mission. Key word simple. Until, of course, it wasn’t. They had been fighting a group of Antlanteans, and of course, one of them was a magician. Mage. Whatever, it knew magic. They were so close to getting the mission done. At least, until Jaime was shot.

Robin yelled something out for Jaime - sounded something similar to a warning - and Bart turned just in time to see his best friend get hit in his lower back. He didn’t see what with - could have been just normal magic blast. Who knows what it was, really. Not him, that’s for sure. But the Scarab’s wings stopped working, and duh, Jaime HAD to be in the air for some dumbass reason. Whatever it was, he saw Jaime fall, and for the first time, he wasn’t fast enough.
