Blue Beetle (1) Checkmate

New Horizon

A few days later

Max sat in his office his cuts covered in stitches with the bruises surrounding them. He passed a small vile to Booster with multicoloured nano particles inside.
"After looking at the schematics for you ship that vile should do the job. Just replace the old one with this one and you should be golden" Ted joked with a smile. Booster laughed and thanked Ted. Booster looked at the vile and looked back at Ted.
"Hey, crazy idea. How about I stay for a while. I can teach you how to be a hero and I can have a lot of fun" Booster offered. Ted looked up at Booster with a confused look.
"That's fine with me, it not like your running out of time" Ted laughed. Booster nodded placing the vile on his belt.
"So what do you want to do first?" Booster asked. Ted smiled.
"Something I should have done a long time ago" Ted stated as he got up and left the lab.

Melody's Apartment

Melody was walking round her apartment after just getting back from work. She placed her bag on the side and slumped down on her sofa. She was sitting down for long as she heard a knock at the door. She walked over to the door and opened it to see Ted.
"I chose you" Ted stated. Melody just smiled as she pulled him inside her apartment and started to kiss him. He picked her up in his arms closing the door with his foot. He walked them over to the bedroom, closing the door behind them.

Belle Reve Penitentiary

Max was walked through the halls of Belle Reve. He was locked in a straight jacket and his mouth covered with a muzzle, only being able to breath through his nose. Guards led him down corridor their guns ready to fired. They finally reached his cell opening the door for him. They pushed him inside the cell, slamming the door behind him. The cell was padded from head top to bottom. Max turned to look at the door, looking through the window. His eyes filled with rage and determination as the guard slid the cover over window.

Kord Industries Lab

Booster sat in Ted's office while he waited for him. He sat in Ted's chair fiddling with his thumbs when he noticed the safe in the corner of the room. He walked over and picked up the safe planting it on Ted's desk. He tried to open the safe but to no avail. He tapped the side of his visor so he could see what was inside. Inside of the safe say the Scareb. Booster's face changed to one of shock upon seeing the Scareb.
"Well that would have been helpful" Booster stated to himself.

El Paso Texas

The hot Texas sun beamed down onto the top of the car as a family loaded their things into the car.
"Do we have to go?" The son asked as he reluctantly put his box of clothes into the back of the car.
"Jaime you know this is a big opportunity for your farther" his mother replied. Jamie huffed as he put his final bag in the car and then sat in the front seat. His little sister sat in the backseat as his mother climbed into the drivers seat. "Come don't pout Jaime" his mother stated as she tapped on the sat-nav. "Blue Valley here we come" his mother cheered as she started the long drive. Jaime looked out of the car window as he watched them leave his child hood home. He put in his headphones as the drive got under way.
"Yeah I can't wait for what Blue Valley holds for me" Jaime stated sarcastically.
