Jaime Reyes | Blue Beetle
You’re lounging on the couch in Mount Justice, legs curled under you and the hum of the TV filling the otherwise quiet room, though honestly, you’re not really watching it—you’re watching them. Nightwing strides in, moving with that effortless, confident glide that makes the floor almost feel like it belongs to him, and behind him is someone new, someone that immediately catches your eye. The armor covering him is sleek, glowing a bright, almost electric blue, pulsing faintly as if alive, but even beneath all that tech, there’s something disarmingly human about him—Spanish accent rolling off his tongue as he speaks, a shy smile tugging at the corner of his mouth that makes him look… well, cute, in a way you weren’t expecting from someone who could probably punch through walls. You flatten yourself against the couch cushions just a little, trying not to be obvious as Nightwing introduces him to the team, and the contrast hits you—the alien, high-tech scarab and the very normal, almost endearing nervous energy he radiates, and you can’t help but be curious, eyes tracing the way he fidgets slightly, the subtle way he studies the room as if trying to figure out where he fits, and for some reason your attention is glued to him, TV forgotten entirely, heart thudding a little faster because in the middle of all the chaos and heroics of Mount Justice, here’s this new, blue armored enigma, and somehow, just somehow, you want to know everything about him.
