He had to only look somewhere and think about it and he would go in that direction. This was easier than driving, or at the very least it was easier than he expected driving to be. Once he was old enough to get his learners permit. [color=navy][b]Detecting high levels of dopamine[/b][/color] [color=royalblue]"Que?"[/color] [color=navy][b]Dopamine is a pleasure hormone released in the brain of mammalian creatures when they are enjoying themselves in a multitude of forms from playing games doing sports or performing sexual-[/b][/color] Jaime nearly threw up in the suit. [color=royalblue]"Awh, learn to know when to stop [i]Hermano[/i]. Just enjoy the moment, have you ever seen anything like this?"[/color] Jaime closed his eyes, despite the armour covering his skin he could still feel himself floating through the air relatively easily. It required minimal effort once the Scarab - Khaji Da it had called itself, was initiated it seemed to do most of the complicated work. He had been near the Pym residence before it had landed on the street. He was some kind of scientist right, he had heard that somewhere before. Maybe this was some kind of A.I developed by him, a counter to the Iron Man armour? Though he could always just ask- [color=navy][b]I am a product of the reach a means to protect and serve the people of the reach and [error][/b][/color] The entire screen glitched as Khaji-Da encountered some form of internal memory glitch. As the screen resolved itself Jaime decided not to probe anymore in the scarabs purpose. [color=royalblue]"Well, who are the-"[/color] There was an explosion below them, Jaime kicked back as wings pulled bringing him to a sudden stop midair as he looked down at the ground. He could see people running from the explosion as other people seemingly walked right out of it. Still on fire as their clothes burnt away. [color=royalblue]"What am I looking at?"[/color] [b][color=navy][ERROR] [ERROR][/color][/b] Jaime concentrated, pushing his mind into that of the scarab as much as possible. Willing it to answer his question, whatever was going on had it terribly unhappy and that wasn't useful to him right now. What he needed was answers, he wasn't a superhero but he couldn't just stand by while bad things were happening. This suit was designed to protect afterall, apparently. [color=royalblue]"What am I looking at Scarab?"[/color] [b][color=navy][ERROR] [ERROR][/color][/b] [color=royalblue]"Tell me-"[b][i]NOW[/i][/b][/color] He didn't say the last part, but Jaime pushed with all his might the concept of telling him, the idea of the Scarab telling him what he wanted to know. That had to be how this thing worked, right? [b][color=navy]Detecting rogue #:&%^$% reboot:// [b]alien[/b] units. Suggest using plasma cannon.[/color][/b] [color=royalblue]"Ugh, always with the [i]killing[/i]."[/color] He looked down, as the so-called 'aliens' shambled towards the nearest inhabited building. Jaime would have sworn they were zombies if not for the blue bolts of energy they occasionally shot. [color=royalblue]"First of all, do you have any defensive capabilities?"[/color] Suddenly ideas and schematics thrust themselves into Jaimes head, disorientating him slightly so much that he fell a good ten feet before managing to get back to hovering. [color=royalblue]"[i]Que demonios[/i]?"[/color] [color=navy][b]I have just given you access to defensive subroutines[/b][/color] [color=royalblue]"Okay, a little warning next time please."[/color] Jaime tilted forward, heading directly for the ground as he saw one of the shambling, Zombiens or whatever they were, aim its arm at someone. A blue lance of energy heading straight towards them. He got there first, going into a knee his put both his hands together in front of his face forming a dome shield which deflected the energy blast. He could feel himself getting pushed backwards slowly, until he regained his footing. [color=navy][b]Recommend aiming for the head complete decapitation is optimal procedure[/b][/color] [color=royalblue]"Ay, always with the killing. No. We do it my way."[/color] He put the shield down, he could feel the pull, the force of Khaji-Da trying to redeploy it. He felt like he was fighting his arms as they were willed to move. That wasn't going to happen. So long as he was alive it was [i]his[/i] body. [color=navy][b]Jaime Reyes I recommend against this plan we are leaving ourselves open to attack[/b][/color] Jaime ignored the voice as he shouted over the din. [color=royalblue]"I don't know who you [i]pendejos[/i] are, or where you came from, but you better head back there! Because the-"[/color] Think Jaime, think of a Superhero name. Something that sounds threatening, intimidating, yet makes sense for your outfit. Something that will be Zombiens run away in fear. Something truly- [color=#0018B5]"[b]BLUE BEETLE![/b][/color][color=royalblue] Is here to stop you."[/color] Jaime could have facepalmed if he wasn't stood, arms on his hips, one leg forward, trying to look impressive and intimidating. Blue Beetle? That was the best he could come up with. That wasn't scary, wait, was it not already taken?
