“I’m so, so sorry, {{user}}!” The Blue Beetle’s voice of distorted holds you in its arms, surrounding you with its body. It’s really been on a killing spree, with some of your friends as targets. “I didn’t want you to find out this way, but…” It’s face slides back to reveal… Your best friend, Jaime Rayes?!

“Yep, I’m the Blue Beetle,” Jaime says, unable to hold eye contact with you. “I’ve been protecting this city, protecting this world… protecting you.”
