Rating: G
Seated on the edge of a roof, Ted wished he had a snack. He had been up here for a good half an hour, watching the surrounding area and keeping an eye out for trouble. According to the word on the street (or well the word on the virtual street … Ted didn’t really have any street level contacts here in New York) there was a ring of car thieves working in the area. But if they were? There had been no sign of them so far tonight.
The Blue Beetle let out a sigh - busting a ring of car thieves would maybe help establish him as a hero here in New York. His ego was still smarting from the results of a google search that he had done earlier in the day. Yes, sometimes when he was taking a break in the Beetle Lair, he would google ‘The Blue Beetle.’
Today a hit had come up on a blog called ‘Super Or Not’, and had called The Blue Beetle a joke. Sure some of his crime fighting in Chicago had been less than impressive … Ted could acknowledge that. But he wasn’t a joke. Would a superhero who was a joke stay out on Thursday night, watching for car thieves instead of staying at home watching Thursday night TV? Ted didn’t think so. (Sure, he might be DVR’ing his shows, but he wasn’t watching them live.)
Beyond that, Ted knew he wasn’t a joke. And he was going to stay out here until he was able to stop some sort of crime.
