Down El Paso Way
Ted brings the Bug to a gentle landing in a large junkyard outside El Paso - just discreet enough that no one will notice, except perhaps a security guard or two who will have interesting stories to tell at the bar.
He'd arranged to come down and meet with El Paso's only super-hero sensation - The Blue Beetle. Somehow, the scarab Dan Garrett had found in Egypt had turned out to be some kind of alien.. thing, and who better to do some investigation?
Ted descends the ramp of the Bug, and immediately remembers why he doesn't do more meetings in junkyards.
"Jesus, the smell.."

"At least enough to pick up a couple levels in bad-ass. Are you okay, kid?"
He walks over to Jaime, offering him a hand up when he feels he can stand again.
Re: Copyright Infringement
Jaime struggled to find the right words.
"It's like - basically the scarab and I are one. But it has a mind of it's own too. Ever since coming back from where ever I was the Scarab has been acting like a scared animal. I can keep it under control most times but something about you really messed it up"
Jaime accepts Ted's hand and pulls himself up.
"It's calmed down now but I think, if I'm being honest. I need some help. Maybe even some bad ass training from the coolest Super-Hero around. If you're willing?"
Re: Copyright Infringement
He's kidding. It's a defense mechanism against praise.
"Honestly, I'd be honored to help any way I can."
