They had all gathered in the Blue Beetle hideout where Rudy had vacated the seat in front of all the computers again. There were multiple images displayed on every screen, it seemed that Rudy had been able to find a lot of information regarding the Scarab.

They all undoubtedly wanted to go back to their normal lives. But that would only happened when they removed the Scarab from Jaime and destroyed it. It was the only way that Victoria Kord would stop going after him.

"Okay. I've gone through the files. So... Ted had a professor, this guy named Dan Garrett. The Scarab chose this Garrett guy before it chose you, Jaime." Rudy explained clearly excited about the information that he was sharing as he began to pulling up some files to display own the computer screens. "And pinche Ted, ran tests on him to map out how the Scarab would react to the human body. So, once this Scarab goes up someone's ass..."

Jaime turned to meet Gemma eyes, the panic and embarrassment clear in his. "It didn't go up my ass."

Gemma only offered him a simply nod before turning her attention back to the screens. It didn't really matter how it had gotten inside of him, what mattered was how they were going to get it out.

"Okay. Well, it connects to the brain and that's what it's trying to do to you, Jaime, connect to your brain. It's trying to become one with you."

"Why?"

"I think you should ask it yourself. I mean, this thing has its own will."

"It's sentient. That's why it chooses a host." Jenny continued thoughtfully her eyes never leaving the screens in front of them. "That's why sometimes, it does what you want, and sometimes, it doesn't."

Jaime nodded slowly and although he was trying to process what he was being told, Gemma suspected that he really didn't understand what they were telling him. "Okay, well, who made it? Can they help us?"

Rudy chuckled to himself shaking his head. "This wasn't made on Earth, cabezon."

"No way."

"Si whey."
