A/N: Jaime was already on mode before Bart came to the past, and never joined the team. So he's basically evil... Can a certain speedster change that?

Bart frowned. That couldn't be true. He had quadruple checked. Blue Beetle was supposed to be on the team. It made no sense whatsoever.

"Are you sure that's all the information you have on Blue Beetle?" asked Bart.

"Positive. We just know that he somehow acquired a scarab, and as soon as he put it on, he joined the Reach, along with Black and Green Beetle. Why do you wanna know so much about him anyway?" Nightwing gave him a puzzled look. "He's just your typical villian.

"Erm. Nothing! It's all crash, just wondering about him, I'm hungry, are you? I'm gonna go eat, bye!" With that, Bart sped out the Mountain to get some fresh air.

He began to think about what he knew. Everyone in the future said that Blue Beetle was on the team, and ended up betraying them. But apparently Blue Beetle had been on mode the whole time. Bart also knew that the only reason the Reach were able to enslave Earth was because of Blue Beetle. He was, in fact, the strongest Beetle of them all.

Bart began to think, he then realized something.

He needed to get Blue Beetle off mode!

How was he gonna do that? Well, he could start with some simple recon. He smiled and sped off into the distance.

**Meanwhile, at the Reach's underground Headquarters**

Jaime darkly grinned. It was a shame that the Reach weren't able to harvest the metagene from the boy in front of him.

"You know, hermano, I'm gonna feel bad about this, you were kinda cute," said Blue Beetle.

"Cute?" questined the boy. A look of fear struck his face. "Were?"

"Yup." With that, Jaime took out his sword and plunged it into the boy's heart. Blue Beetle sighed at all the blood on the floor.

"Are you getting soft Blue Beetle? I heard you say that he was cute," teased Black Beetle, walking in.

"I am not soft! But, you have to admit, he was cute," sighed Blue Beetle. He was indeed aware of his sexuality. He had a couple memories of dating some guys, before that night.

"Ack! First of all, I am not gay. Second of all, you should not think about the meat," said Black Beetle, strictly.

"Yah, yah," grumbled Blue Beetle.

Jaime walked up to his room and sat on his bed, taking off his armor. He looked into the mirror and sighed.

What is the problem Jaime Reyes? Your excitement levels are below average.

"Do you ever think that we could be something...else?"

We both know that resistance against the Reach is futile. Besides, don't you enjoy the Reach?

Jaime smiled. "I don't know what I was thinking, the Reach is my home!"

Yes, our partnership with the Reach is one we should keep intact.

Jaime slowly crawled his way into bed, and fell asleep. He thought back to his first nights with the Reach. They had forced him to kill at least 10 people on his first day. He had begged his Scarab to stop, but he physically couldn't.

After a year, Jaime had quit fighting back. Instead, he decided to willingly join the Reach. At least he was more in control of his own body, like his "brothers", Green Beetle and Black Beetle. After he submitted to the Reach, they stopped directly controlling him. They trusted Jaime enough to know that he would never betray the Reach.

Jaime slowly drifted to sleep. He seemed to be at peace at first, but soon began to toss and turn.

He began to dream about the night...

"Yah, I know it's almost curfew mom, but I'm practically home. I'm taking a shortcut through the court parking lot right now. Hasta Pronto."

Jaime put down his phone and continued to skateboard. Suddenly, the building next to him exploded. This knocked him off his feet. Jaime grunted in pain. He noticed fire on his sweatshirt and panicked, he then quickly tore it off. He looked around in panic, and that's when he saw it.

It somehow attracted Jaime's attention. It was a small, blue beetle. Jaime bent down and picked it up, and stared at it in awe.

It then quickly crawled up his back, and attached itself into Jaime's spine. Jaime yelled in pain.

That was the last feeling he felt.

Pain.

The last feeling he felt before he never saw his mom again. He never saw Tye again. He never saw his little sister again. He never saw El Paso again.

Jaime woke up with shock. He was sweating.

"Stupid nightmares," grumbled Jaime.

Jaime Reyes, an unknown presence is detected in our headquarters. Suggest tactic would to use stealth and spy on the intruder

Jaime nodded and put his armor on. He quietly took out his sonic gun and tiptoed out his room.

Shouldn't we inform the Reach of this intruder?

"It's ok, I can handle it," hissed Jaime.

He began to tiptoe but stopped when he heard whispers.

Jaime Reyes, the enemy is three seconds away from you! I recommend hiding behind that trash can.

Jaime turned and nodded his head in confirmation. He ran and his behind a huge trash can.

Suddenly, another boy sped in the room. He was wearing a white and red suit, with goggles.

"Ugh, where is stealth mode?" asked the boy, whispering to himself. "Ah here!"

He hit a random spot on his suit and it changed to black. "Crash!"

He covered his mouth when he realized that he had yelled. He looked around in fear, but realized that no body was coming. He looked around one more time before speeding off.

Jaime, however, was left in shock. He had had many encounters with the Young Justice team, but never this boy. He knew that there was no way that he was part of the League, so he must have been part of the younger team. Still, who was this guy? The only known speedsters were Flash and Kid Flash, but he had retired.

"Scarab, identify the boy!"

I am trying. Scanners indicate that he does not even exist. This is very peculiar, I recommend destroying him, we don't know what he is capable of.

"Trust me, that's what I'm gonna do."
