"Stop talking to—" Rogue held the phone away from her ear as the explosion made noises through her end of the connection. She was definitely and obviously worried, now. Rogue eventually held the phone to her ear again to try to contact him again. "Blue Beetle, are ya alright?"

Wizard Needs Food BadlyThe explosion was completely contained in the shield. When the explosion went of, Jaime had unfortunately opened his eyes and taken the hand's off his ears. He is now in a massive amount of pain, his ears are ringing very loudly, and a bright flash's of light dance across his vision. Fan's open up inside the ball, sucking up the gas and neutralizing it once it is absorbed into the suit. Once the process finished, the ball opened up and the shield were absorbed into Blue Beetle's suit. He fell out of the van, landing on the floor so he was laying down and staring at the ceiling.
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Yeah, I think i'm fine."
You are.
"I'm fine. Ow."
He lay on the floor for a couple of seconds, stunned.
"Khaji, would you turn the pain off?"
No. This is what you get, for being an idiot.
"Fair enough."
He laid there for a couple more seconds before waving in the general direction of the others.
"Hey, you people. Could you get me something to drink. I'm gonna lay here and try not to cry. Ow."

Tv Tropes Powers. Activate!!!!!The Sandman crouched by the figure.
"Perhaps some painkillers would be more prudent? Or even medical attention?" she said, raising an eyebrow inside the mask. Did she recognise that voice?
Sandman looked behind herself to the other heroes, before turning back to the figure. "You saved us all. You have my thanks."
She stood up and backed away, giving the the guy a little space.
Jaime would hear a notable sigh of relief from Rogue. She was definitely holding her breath concerning the situation.
"I agree with Khaji," Rogue eventually said to Jaime over the phone. "That was stupid."
"That voice is the alien bonded to you, right?" Rogue asked Jaime about the voice. "Either way, feel free to take your time to recover."

Wizard Needs Food BadlyThe faceless man rose and dusted himself off. "Yeah, thanks man" Giving a little space to the blue guy he turned to the figure in gas mask "You, though, are a new face, who are you?"
The graceless warrior, wielder of the edgeless blade, prophet of the old religions, writer of fluent nonsense, saviour of soul and song."Yep. Khaji Da ... Rogue. Anna Marie ... Khaji Da."
Nice to meet you. What are you're intentions to Jaime?
"Ignore Khaji. Painkillers, that would be nice."
As he stared at the ceiling the lights flashing before his eyes turned into a bunny.
"Heh ... bunny."
Tv Tropes Powers. Activate!!!!!The Sandman remained silent for a moment. She looked to the smoking wreckage of the bomb, before looking back at the Question.
"This heist brings dark tidings to the city. Things are going to get worse." She offered her hand to the man.
"And as such we shall all need to make allies where we can."
At the boy's request, The Sandman withdrew a small pot, the kind that used to hold camera film and tossed it to him. It rattled.
"Of my own design. Take one, the pain should subside near instantly."

Gimme yer lunch money, dweeb.The Question shook his hand "I agree, and would be honored to be your ally... In fact maybe you can be of help. You see, I'm tracking down a Big Man tonight, care to come?"
The graceless warrior, wielder of the edgeless blade, prophet of the old religions, writer of fluent nonsense, saviour of soul and song."Thank you."
The Blue Beetle slowly took pill from his chest and swallowed it.
"That's better. I'm just gonna lay here for another five minutes and wait for the light's and the ringing to go away."
He heard what the others said about a big man.
"Mind if I come? I don't get to do team-up's very often. I usually operate in the south west and the only other super-hero active down there is a super powered dog."

Tv Tropes Powers. Activate!!!!!"Tonight... very well. I have business to attend to until then." Sandman pulled a notepad out of yet another pocket and handed a sheet to the Question.
"That number is for an unmarked mobile phone in my possession. When you begin your hunt, call the number." The Sandman turned. It was time she analysed that gas. And took a look at the discarded disguises. And probably two dozen other tasks.
As she reached the door she turned to look back into the room.
"You have all probably heard of Spiderman. He will be blamed for the theft of a large jewel, and aiding the Joker's heist. It is vitally important that you know that he is not guilty."
And with that, The Sandman stalked off into the museum, towards the most discreet exit she could possibly find.
The Joker. The Clown Prince of Crime. The laughing maniac who had been the mortal enemy of Batman for so very long. Nobody knew who he was, where he had come from. He had no history, no friends, no home. Some of the more superstitious members of Gotham believed him to be an avatar of chaos incarnate, a laughing maelstrom of discord. And who knew what secrets lay beneath that makeup?
Even as Batman landed like his namesake on the back of the truck, flinching as the bullets rattled his chest and embedded themselves firmly in his armor aiming one armor-clad fist at the Joker's face, he could not help but worry internally. Why had he come to New York? He had no idea as to who the Batman really was, or so Bruce hoped, and so he couldn't know what his real purpose in New York was. It was either a startling coincidence or something more sinister. Knowing the Joker, of course, it could only be the latter.
The Blue Beetle waved.
"Yep. I am the Blue Beetle. Nice to meet you."
He paused for a second and scrunched his face up.
"Didn't you know Ted? Or am I thinking of someone else?"
Tv Tropes Powers. Activate!!!!!"Huh, that's a shame. Yeah, I like to help. What time?"

Soon, the 8-bit circus music finished, at which point, the mechanical Joker voice said "Kaboooom!" and the real explosion happened: a mix of a normal explosion tuned with cans of laugh gas, so that the result would not only be a crater, but also a small wave of laugh gas covering it. And to compliment it all, the Joker's laugh could be heard as the bomb finally exploded.
