Quotes 

• Blue Beetle : What'd you tell her, ese?

  Impulse : About you betraying mankind and causing the reach apocalypse?

  [Jamie looks nervous] 

  Impulse : Heh heh. Nada, amigo. See, I have no idea what actually turns you. For all we know, the league finding out. Could be the very thing that makes it happen, so I say, we say nothing to no one.

  Scarab : This is good. Now, kill the Impulse so he cannot change his mind.

  Blue Beetle : [to Scarab]  Keep quiet!

  Impulse : Exactly. Stick with me, Blue. I'll keep you from feeling the mode.

• Dinah Lance : Your scarab. We all had assumed. It was an invention of the previous Blue Beetle, but now it seems clear the reach created it.

  Blue Beetle : [Nervous]  Uh, yeah, that's clear.

  Scarab : There is no reason to believe the Impulse's predictions. Perpetuating concern would be a strategic error, putting us at risk of persecution or worse.

  Blue Beetle : Yeah. I mean, it's very clear. The reach tried to use my scarab to control me, but it wouldn't work for them. Their scientist said the only way to reboot it... was to kill me.

  Dinah Lance : So the reach created it, but they can't control it. Jaime, that may make you our best weapon against them.

• Black Canary : Beetle?

  Blue Beetle : I'm sorry. I've been hiding something, but I can't... I just can't.

  Impulse : Uh, blue, blue, blue. What happened to keep quiet?

  Scarab : Stop, Jaime Reyes. This is a tactical error.

  Blue Beetle : No, time for the truth. Impulse says that some time in the future I betray earth and bring on a Reach apocalypse. That's not a future I can live with. So whatever it takes, get this Scarab off me.
