The zombie thing gave Ted pause, it really did. He was going to start asking questions (when? Did shooting them in the head work? Was the world doomed because the zombies were fast?) but then Booster said that he was just kidding.
That was kind of a relief.
"There aren't many super heroes?" Ted gave a frown; "I mean we kinda trip over each other sometimes, like today ..." Gosh how many heroes were there in the time that Booster came from?
As far as The Bug went, Ted gave a shrug of his shoulders, and gestured to his costume. "It goes with the theme." He realized after he said that, that his whole outfit wasn't all that Beetle like. "I mean the theme of my name of Blue Beetle. The Bug is a giant ... Blue Beetle."
