Jaime Reyes. Bart Allen is not 'just a bit tired'. Scans show he is extremely sleep deprived. Recommendation: Make our mate eat and sleep. NOW.
"You sure you're okay, Bart?"
"Yeah!" Bart reached behind his back and stretched, suppressing a yawn. "What's conejito mean?"
Jaime smiled, pulling Bart in under his arm. "Nothing, hermano. You wanna go grab a bite at my place? I've gotta talk to my parents, they'll be pretty worried about me,"
Jaime Reyes, I suggest you- "Alright Khaji, I will"
"What? Who's Khaji?"
"Khaji Da is the scarab. He was trapped too. He's not evil,"
"Oh," Bart started quizzically at where the scarab would be. "Are you friends? Is he annoying to have on your back sometimes? Wait sorry, is Khaji a he or a she? What were they telling you?"
Jaime laughed. Bart was still Bart. "Yeah, we're like best friends. Kinda hard not to be when you're attached at the spine. It's sometimes annoying when he talks to me at school and I can't pay attention to a lecture. He but likes to be called he. He was just telling me the quickest flight path from here to El Paso, and to watch out for commercial airlines."
"Why haven't you told anyone about this?"
"Nightwing knows, and you, but everyone else would probably treat him like a robot, not a sentient being, so I've kept it on the down low. Not really shouting it to the rooftops, ya know?"
"Crash"

Jaime had never introduced Bart to his family, but he had talked to them about him.
He told them he didn't understand soulmates, that he didn't even know that there could be infertile relationships, and he told them not to mention soulmates at all. Pretend he was a normal kid.
But that was hard, considering that Bart Allen had been written on their son and brother's palm since birth, and they were still shocked that their son had just come back home after 2 weeks being missing.
So it should have been no surprise when Milagro asked them if they were going to get married.
"WHAT?"
JAIME REYES. DIFFUSE THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. YOU WILL SCARE THE BART ALLEN.
But, unfortunately, it took everyone by surprise.
"No! Haha! Milagro was just kidding!" Jaime shot a glare at his little sister, the nerve. He'd told her not to mention anything! "Hey Bart, you wanna go play some video games in my room?"
Bart looked between Jaime and his family. He'd never visited anyone else's family dinner, but he was pretty sure this wasn't normal. "Sure!"
They put their dishes in the sink and dashed upstairs, where Jaimes Xbox sat, dying to be played.
