HARLEY = N[]T W[]RKING AL[]NE. THERE WAS A TEENAGE GIRL WH[] C[]ULD C[]NTR[]L FIRE. JAIME HAD WHAT HE CALLS "BAD VIBES" S[] WE RAN BUT SHE KN[]CKED US B[]TH []FFLINE. WE W[]KE UP AS A PRIS[]NER OF HARLEY.
'Prisoner.' Singular. The scarab's concept of self was very different from a human's and Jaime's was, over time, becoming different, too. A lot of 'us' and 'we' and treating their physical form as a singular.
THEN IT WAS REEET REEET REEET WITH HARLEY. THE FIRE GIRL MUST HAVE GIVEN US TO HER.
Even more proof Kuk had a large group working together. The girl who controlled fire took them out, then handed them over to Harley to play with.
But before they could talk about that anymore, Jaime started to stir.
JAIME/H[]ST-FRIEND IS WAKING UP. HE IS VERY AGITATED.
He seemed to be fighting his way to consciousness, fighting past the stupor the myth healing had him in. His body wanted to rest but his mind was still on alert, still afraid. His pulse increased slightly on the monitor as he started to finally wake up, his eyes flicking open just enough to see the green face working over him and the circles of lighter skin. Green face and circles, where had he seen - oh.
He went from 0 to panic in about two seconds. He'd already woken up in the clutches of another supervillain today and it didn't seem that out there to wake up in the hands of another.
"Brainiac!" Jaime cried out, terrified, and the heart monitor made it clear that his pulse had suddenly keyed up to become incredibly rapid.
He moved with such speed that only Cassie really had a chance of stopping him, sitting up and slashing so fast that the suit had to spring up around his hand and form the claws in the middle of his hand's arc in the air.
The transformation wasn't complete, because the scarab was trying to fight Jaime for control and calm him down.
Brainy, who currently had his shields down while he helped treat Jaime, and who'd briefly turned away to grab a device, turned back to claws heading straight for his face.
