Young Justice Season 4 - The Red X Factor

Episode/Chapter 15 - Mission to Mars Part 3

"...there's something wrong with those seven..." Blue Beetle said, tapping his foot impatiently as he and Supergirl stood watching the vault that contained the Sinothium.

"Look, if it's because of what Protex called me, it's over. I never fell for him." Supergirl said, "besides, no one can compare to you."

"Thanks..." Blue Beetle smiled, "but...not even just him... Züm and Primaid and the rest of them already seem suspicious..."

"It's okay. We can trust any friend of M'gann's, right?" Supergirl smiled, "I mean, we can definitely trust Till... He's so helpful."

"Yeah, he is." Blue Beetle agreed as he took Supergirl's hand.

"We can get through this, right? We'll make it back to Earth before you know it." Supergirl said.

"Yeah, I really hope so." Blue Beetle agreed as he rested his head on her shoulder.

>> You are wasting too much time with this Kara Kent. You should be focusing on more important matters. << Scarab said.

"Love isn't a waste of time..." Blue Beetle protested.

"What?" Supergirl asked.

"Wha?! Ah, I mean..."

"Look, you've been talking to yourself a lot lately... Can't you just tell me what's up? There's no point wiggling around it this time." Supergirl crossed her arms.

"Okay...fine. It's my scarab." Blue Beetle sighed.

"Your what?" Supergirl asked.

Blue Beetle retracted his armor and turned around, showing Supergirl the scarab on his back.

"This thing attached to my back that gives me the powers and armor." Jaime explained.

"Whoa..." Supergirl looked closely at the scarab and poked it a few times, "so it, like, talks to you?"

"Yeah. It advises me and helps me sometimes." Jaime shrugged as he put his armor back on.

"Most days, I wish I had something like that...." Supergirl laughed.

"He can get annoying sometimes, though..." Blue Beetle added, "so don't be alarmed if I keep 'talking to myself'..."

"Don't worry. It'll grow on me." Supergirl smiled.

"So those were your friends?" Nightwing asked.

"Yeah, but I guess they changed some..." Miss Martian shrugged, "They used to be so friendly."

"Well, maybe they did manage to get savage." Nightwing shrugged, "I mean, if you had stayed on Mars and never came to earth, how would your life, or even ours, be any different?"

"I'd probably be savage and insane, and I'd probably just end up in the Still Zone." Miss Martian replied, "which is why I'm so thankful every day that I'm on earth. I never thought my friends would ever change, though..."

"Yeah. For now, as long as you trust them, we trust them." Nightwing nodded, and she nodded in response.

"Hey guys, anyone see anything yet?" Oracle asked over the comm.

"No. This is weird..." Nightwing responded, "Pairs, report."

"Nothing odd going on here." Superboy said.

"Everyone's fine over here." Robin said.

"No one's come through here yet." Blue Beetle said.

"And nothing out here either..." Miss Martian said, "Shouldn't he be here by now? It's almost been an hour."
