[ 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. ]

[He rubs at his neck, sounding sheepish about it. Honestly, he feels guilty he wasn't there when it happened, and even worse that he wasn't able to jump into the fray afterward.]
Our teacher from home ported in but he wasn't feeling well, so Yaoyorozu-san and I went home early with him. And then we couldn't get back...

[He opens his mouth, then closes it, staring at the ground with his free hand clenched into a fist. That was no place for you. He wants to argue, wants to say that he's been through worse situations, that he's faced ambushes and rescued friends from villains before, and that he's been training so hard just for situations like this, but he doesn't.
Instead:]
We're still in training, I know. But...villains aren't just gonna wait for us to be ready. Even though it would've been dangerous...that's what Heroes are there for, right?
