When Black Beetles Battle Blue Beetles, it's a Black and Blue Beetle Battle Boggle!
Gotham Heights was a pleasant suburban community, just outside of Gotham City proper. Close enough that the locals claimed they were Gothamites, but just far enough away to be free of the crime and corruption that characterized the city proper. Many of the most prosperous citizens of Gotham City made their home there. It was a good place. The kind of community you would want your children to grow up in.

It was a place of green lawns and white picket fences and sprawling large estates and homes, gated communities. The Gotham Heights Technical Academy and Gotham Heights College Preparatory attracted only the best of students.

It was a place that was about to be beset by death. Dual Black Lanterns flew threw the air to the home of one Ted Kord and his wife.

The first, wearing chain mail and a fin, looked out upon the house and grimaced. It held up a hand and unleashed a crackling bolt of power, blowing away a top floor window and a good section of the roof.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

"We always do," Ted said, trying his best to smile. He knows that its bad. He remembers something like this happening when he was younger, the dead returning to life. So Ted grabs one of his spare BB guns and begins to fiddle with it.

"Now, we have work to do. Get a hold of who you need to. And so you know, I love you."

These things were not getting his wife. They were not getting his daughter.

	The Garret Lantern stopped pounding for a moment and took a step back, charging up power bolts in its hands. "Knock knock," he growled, letting lose a blast at the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There are no wisecracks, no words from Ted Kord. No jokes or barbs.

This is Ted Kord at his most focused.

That BB gun he was tinkering with? He had increased its power fivefold and was wired into the generator that was running the whole basement. So he turned the gun on the nearest Black Lantern and blasted.

"You stay away from my wife."

	The blast tore a whole through Dan Garret's chest, staggering the Black Lantern for a moment. He fixed Ted with an expression of the betrayed. "Got me killed... and now you're killing me again, Ted...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One of the batrangs landed in Jaime's shoulder. It exploded, taking a chunk out of it. "First your kid takes the Scarab from me and now...you take my shoulder? Now that is cold." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You are not Dan Garrett. You are not Jaime Reyes. Get out," Ted says as he twists a nob on the BB gun. All the light and sound is now a concentrated blast.

He now has a hypersonic laser. And its good for about ten shots before the generator is overwhelmed. So he carefully aims and fires at the two things claiming to be his mentor and successor.
