Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes)

> I didn’t choose to have this power. Just like- we don’t choose the life we’re born into, but we can choose what to do with it. Everyone deserves the right to make their own life. And all my fights have been about that. I didn’t see it, really, until now. Now it’s The Reach. Sure, our lives won’t change. Maybe not even Milagro’s. But her kids, they’ll be slaves. I’m not going to let that happen. I’ll fight for that.
