[ When a familiar face pops up on the network, he's looking a lot less dead than he had looked during his last appearance. In fact, he looks entirely well aside from the dark circles underneath his eyes and a slight pallor to his skin, something that can be attributed just as much to stress as it can injury. ]
Hey, everyone. It's Jaime. And the Blue Beetle, I guess. That cat's extremely out of the bag.
[ He takes a deep breath. ]
I don't really know what to say, except that the Negotiator's dead, so everyone should be safe now - not that I'm the guy you have to thank for that, but the people who did were just doing the right thing. And that I'm sorry, for everything about happened. I knew that the Negotiator was bad news, but I didn't think - I didn't think he'd do that. But I knew. And I'm sorry I didn't do anything about him sooner.
[ He glances off-camera for a moment, teeth worrying at his lip. He looks like there's something else he wants to say, but he eventually leaves the matter be. ]
If there's anything I can do to help anyone who was hurt in all that, it's the least I can do. And... thank you to everyone who tried to help, or who fought back. From me and the Scarab. He -- I -- [ He shakes his head. ] Ah, damn it.
[ Words have never been his strong point. He cuts the feed. ]
[ NOTE: This post comes a couple days after THIS ordeal! If you'd rather see him in person, whether in the hospital (the first day), at his home, or evading the press, feel free to check out my CATCH-ALL. ]

Re: voice
Yeah. I guess you would know. Believe it or not, it's not really a problem I've had to deal with before.
[ His shield of being too boring to bother with has officially been crushed. ]
voice
[ He can't see it, but she sucks in one of her cheeks briefly, thinking. Is this a bad question? ] If you don't mind me asking- how the hell did you manage to keep it up that long? It's genuinely impressive, you know.
voice
[ And it's true. Jaime's always been a quiet sort of kid, always been good-natured and well-behaved to the point of slipping between the cracks if he really wanted to. ]
Nobody suspected I was anything special before I became the Blue Beetle. So why would they suspect anything afterwards?
voice
[ Now that she says that, though, it feels pretty fucked up. She sighs. ]
Which- I shouldn't have been thinking that way, probably. Even if I was right. It's not like I wanted you to get hurt like that, I just...I don't know. [ A pause. ] You seemed too experienced to just be some guy. Does that make sense?
