Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

Okay. [Honestly? Even if Kid Flash went full douchebag and said that he was going to spill every secret he had, Jaime would have tried to help out anyway. He's not that kind of guy.]

Did sparring with Robin give you enough info to work off of? [He asks the Scarab.]

Affirmative.

[Black carapace spreads over his fingers, and a blue screen lights up in front of them, projected by his fingertips. On the projection is a map of Heropa.] Okay, go for it.

[The map zooms out, expanding to cover the neighboring areas as the Scarab runs a search for Robin, albeit the wrong one; it's searching for Tim Drake, not Dick Grayson, though neither Jaime nor Wally know it. Instead of responding inside Jaime's head, the Scarab deigns to flash a slightly darker blue text over the screen.]

Robin Not Found

[That is- okay not the weirdest thing Wally's seen, but it's pretty new. He takes a half-step back -as if Jaime needs the room or something- and watches closely as what looks like a search program pops up. He recognizes a few of the features -that one block that has all the little businesses crammed together, the elementary school and middle school only a street apart- but it zooms out to cover a wider search range and everything turns into squares and lines.

And then the text.]

...right.

[Kid Flash rubs a hand over his mouth.]

Then I'm gonna go talk to the Shade. Even if he didn't do it, he might know something.

[Jaime continues frowning at the screen for another moment, put off by what he sees there. The Scarab hadn't said that it couldn't find Robin, or that something was obstructing its sensors, just that he hadn't been found.]

He could have been ported out, you know. If there's a way to check that, we should look into that too.

[It's a communal effort by this point. He's not just going wish KF luck and tell him to beat it, after all.]

From:

[Wally shakes his head, balling up the hoodie in his hands.] I don't know how to check that. And if I do some huge community-wide amber alert thing for him, he will literally kill me later. [He's already done enough to jeopardize Robin's secret ID. Besides that, Wally's pretty sure the only thing that could give him a definite yes or no on whether or not Robin was ported out is the military, and Wally's not about to take them at their word.]

I'm just- I'll have to keep looking. [He'll ask the Shade. He'll see if Robin had any hard copies of his files anywhere, or go through his room for a USB or something. He must've had backups somewhere; maybe there are some of their enemies kicking around somewhere.

Finding Robin would be so much easier with Robin around to help.]

From:

khajidont

Okay. Look, if for some reason the Shade is behind all this - [though he can't for the life of him think of why] - and you end up needing to go after him, give me a call. I might be able to lend a hand.

[He'd bet on it, in fact, Having two superheroes around is always better than one, and though the Shade must be a major supervillain to go toe-to-toe with someone like the Flash, Jaime figures he might have a trick or two up his sleeve to give him a run for his money.

He hopes, anyway.]

Until then, I'll check out a little further, see what I can find.

[KF gives Jaime a long, searching look. He's got some kind of powers, that's for sure, and he seems pretty familiar with Robin. There's already Power Girl, who knows them from the future, but Jaime said he'd never heard of Kid Flash. Why would he lie?

Yeah, it's suspicious. Wally wants to get Robin back, but he can't drag someone into their problems when he's not even sure he can handle himself.] Who are you? You do know about me, don't you?

From:

khajidont

I guessed you were Kid Flash earlier, remember? [Jaime lets the carapace on his fingertips melt back into his body and absently brushes them across his pantleg.]

I'm the Blue Beetle. You said that Robin looked really young earlier, so... I think I'm from your future. Where I'm from, he's taller than me.

From:

runningstart

[Wally wants to smack himself on the forehead because of course that display looked familiar. Still, though, something about this...isn't.]

Are you sure you wanna say future? Because the last time I checked, Blue Beetle wasn't a kid.

From:

khajidont

Oh, uh...

[Well, this is awkward. Time travel blows. How has Booster been handling it all this time? Jaime drops his gaze to the ground, wondering if KF and Ted had known each other at all, then raises his head again.]

I'm Blue Beetle the third, actually.

From:

runningstart

Really? Okay. [KF will probably ask more about that later, but he's a man on a mission. There's too much to do now, and not enough time to do it in.

He's not sure he wants Jaime at his back in a fight just yet though. Not because he seems untrustworthy, but...something bothers him. He's from the future, knows Robin well enough to comment on his height but doesn't know about Wally? Or he lied about knowing Kid Flash?

Yeah. It's just weird.]

Thanks for your help; I'll call you if I need you.
