La muerte del escarabajo
It made the Southwest news first, but it was eventually picked up by the nation services. In the wake of Superman's death, the death of a localized hero like the Blue Beetle didn't seem quite so important.

"Today, defending his home city of El Paso, the local super-hero known as the Blue Beetle was killed by an unknown super-villain. The third Blue Beetle is best known for his controversial pro-immigration stance publicly taken some years ago, leading many to believe that the hero was in fact an immigrant himself. The youthful hero known as the Scarab, a member of the Teen Titans who patterned herself after the second Blue Beetle, was also involved in the battle, and was originally believed to have been critically injured herself, but seemed to mount a miraculous recovery before spiriting away with the body of the Blue Beetle.

El Paso, Texas will be mourning its hero for some time to come, and many of us are left to wonder if there isn't some grander conspiracy killing our heroes..." CONT on Page A2...

There's a knock at Dinah's window. "Hey you..." Riley waves hello feebly.

Dinah looked over at the window and blinked. Data-overlays she couldn't read were briefly flashing over her vision. The Scarab chirped in her head. "It's Riley," she hissed as she moved over and opened the window. "You like Riley."

As soon as he was inside, Riley would find Dinah's arms around him as she sobbed into his chest.

Riley hugged her and stroked her back, guiding them over to the bed to sit down. "I know... it's not fair."

He hadn't been as tight with Jaime as the Kords, but he always thought the guy was a class act.

Dinah let herself be guided back to the bed.

"He saved me, Ri. I was... I was dying... and he saved me."

Riley's stomach twists. "Then he's a hero." He hugs her tighter.

Dinah held on just as tightly, fighting back more tears. "And now he's dead. Because of me. The Scarab could have saved him if he hadn't..."

It had taken a lot for Riley not to ask Rip if he'd known this was coming, let alone if it was solid time.

"Jaime always knew the risks of what he was doing. Nobody forced him to do what he did."

Dinah frowned, winning her battle with tears for the moment.

"What makes me so worth it? He's a big damn hero and I'm just... me."

"Exactly." He kisses her forehead. "The scarab couldn't be in better hands."

Despite herself, Dinah found a small smile. "Yeah, well... you're biased."

"No, just observant. I've seen you fight as hard as you can against things that make the guys who throw islands around worried. You've got this thing down." He smiles and tries to wipe away some of her tears.

Dinah put her arms around his neck and kissed him, drawing on his strength and stability.

"Love you," she told him.

He gives her the Walken voice, before kissing back.

"I know."

"Okay," she said, actually finding a giggle. "You do know you only get three of those before it stops being cute and starts being annoying."

"For the response, or for the Walken-as-Solo impressions in general?" He smiles back at her.

"The first one. I haven't decided on the second."

Dinah stopped, tilted her head as though she was listening to something, which she was. "Nope. Still don't speak Space Bug. I know you know English."

Riley looks down over her shoulder at where he remembers the scarab being attached. "It talks to you?"

"I think that's what it's trying to do," she told him. "But right now, it's all gibberish."

He looks thoughtful for a bit, then rattles off a few phrases in Portuguese, seeing if it responds.

Dinah gave Riley a funny look. "You do know Spanish and Portuguese are different languages, right?"

He gives her a flat look back. "It's an alien bug embedded in your spine that can talk to the internet. I took a shot."

Dinah manages a smile. "Thanks," she says, and means it.

"I'm gonna look through my dad and Dani's notes... see if if they've got an instruction manual somewhere."

There is a huge rustle coming up the stairs, as well as some clattering of metal and light swearing. The door flies open and Ted Kord comes through, holding some tools and other knick-knacks.

"What happened, Buggie?" Ted says, the bags under his eyes the only hint of his emotional condition.

Riley practically jumps, making sure he and Dinah don't look too involved.

"It's not what it looks like!" He says almost on reflex.

Dinah again lost her war against her tears when she saw her father. She left Riley's side to embrace him. Right now, she wasn't even worried for Riley's potential safety.

"Oh, Daddy... It was the Black Beetle. I... took the Bug there when I caught the news report on the attack, and... he just... he just blew us away. Jaime... he... he made the Scarab go to me..."
