The Frazzled Blue Beetle
Season 2, Episode 2
Ted was relived to have the resident strong-man coming along to check out the generator with him. In the off chance that this was something more than a simple blown fuse then it would be good to have someone who can take a beating just as well as he can dish it out. However, just before they could be on their way Ted heard a familliar ringing in his helmet.
"Sorry, I gotta take this." Ted whispered to Champion and Wayne as he began to back away from the conversation
"I'll meet you down there".
For a few minutes Ted spoke with one of Kord Industries' head board memebers about the status on a new crisis evacuation vehicle and R&D's new stint into reheatable Tv dinners. He eventually managed to pry himself away from the call after claiming his fridge had fallen on his non-existant cousin. Just as he hung up however there was a sudden shaking all throughout the building. His mind immediatly snapped to the generator room where the trouble first seemed to start. A bead of sweat began to make it's way down Ted's cheek before he snapped out of his self-imposed paralysis and made a dash for the stairwell.
Cranking his gun down to a low setting, The Blue Beetle blasted the crash-bar on the door making it swing wide open as Ted dashed through. With a quick drop of a hook and vault over the railing, Ted began quickly repelling down his grappeling line as he hurtled toward his desired floor.
After no more than a minute or two Ted ran into the dark generator room where Champion and Lizard were hanging around.
"What happend? What was the quake about? he asked.
Back on the ground level floor..."I'm actually one of the contributors to this facility and just stopped by to check on things after your latest few problems." Bruce Wayne replied to Polarity Man, glowing ever so slightly and out of his mecha suit. "I was hoping to see Mr. Clutch since Wayne Industries began sponsoring him several months ago."
"Ah, yes. I am quite aware of your sponsorship. As for the technical issues, I was just about to inform Mister Kord that my quarters have added to the latest batch of problems. However, I believe that we should have you move to a safer location. Coincidences rarely happen without purpose.""I assure you I can handle myself, but I'll humor you. Mr. Kord is going to have a lot more on his plate than he realizes it seems..." Wayne continued following Polarity Man to what seemed like a bomb shelter on the first floor.
