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...

	Alina dutifully scribbles down the necessary information. "It's probably not up to your standards, but most stuff probably isn't. I'll tell Uncle Paco you're on it, just tell him before you start changing things so everyone's on the same page. He's the sidekicking-it email." She rolls her eyes a little. She loves him, bu Uncle Paco is such a doofus. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Got it," Dinah said. "Thanks, Alina." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, you're the Blue Beetle now," Alina says. "It's technically your toy anyway." And now's probably time for the question she's been putting off asking. Now, before she chickens out. "Did he...say anything? Anything he wanted passed on?" she asks quietly, weaving her fingers together. "Like, to his family, or to Ms. Thirteen?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah. She was, wasn't she. She'd called herself Scarab before, let Jaime have the title... but now she was going to have to pick it all up. She hoped she was worthy of it. "He said to tell them he loved them. And he was sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alina's eyes began to water again, but she disguises it by reaching for her mask and putting it back on. "I'll pass it on," she says, pleased that she's kept her voice steady. "And I'll be in touch about the memorial. You take care, okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah was amazed she hadn't broken back down into tears, but her resolve was fading. "Thanks, Alina. You too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alina hesitates briefly, then claps Dinah on the shoulder, turns herself invisible again, and crawls out the window. "I'll let you shut this behind me, I don't have the leverage from this position," she says before casting a spell to take her skyward. They'd get through this. And she knew that Dinah would honor Jaime's memory. She just wished it didn't hurt so much. (Reply to this)(Parent)
