[keypad clicking]

It's finally here.

Kord Enterprises'
"Bring Your Kid to Work" day.

- Uh...
- That's the spirit.

Today, we get to test
the evaporation rate

of my polybutylene
wall coating.

Whoo-hoo!

[beeps]

Wait, wall coating?

Evaporation?

Am I literally
gonna watch paint dry?

Technically, no.

You're gonna watch me
watch paint dry.

Two seconds.

Evaporation...

Zero percent.

Five seconds. Evaporation...

- [beeps]
- Zero percent.

Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, wait! [gasps]

Let's just use your heat g*n.

That would defeat
the whole purpose of the test.

Come on, Kara.

- Sometimes, with patience comes progress.
- [beeping]

Point zero-zero-zero-one percent.

Whoa!

See, progress.

[groans]

[distant expl*si*n]

[grunting]

Ted Kord.

Whatcha doing?

Supergirl!

How did you know it was me?

Your name's on the building,
and the door.

And there's the whole,
you know, that.

Ah, secret's out, I guess.

I, Ted Kord,
am the Blue Beetle.

You're what now?

I'm a super hero, like you.

Check out my Beetle Tech!

Jet boosters.

- [automated voice] Jet boosters engaged.
- [Blue Beetle exclaims]

[crashes]

Listen, Kord...
Uh, Blue Beagle,

- you need...
- Beetle.

Beetle? Like the bug?

Wow, kinda lame.

Look, it's great
you wanna help people,

but call it
Kryptonian intuition,

something tells me you're not
quite ready to be a super hero.

I don't need
to be ready, Supergirl.

Success is only
one percent preparation

and 2,000 percent
activation.

Ooh, yeah.
That doesn't make sense.

The title of my best-selling
memoir would disagree.

Besides,
Supergirl is responsible

for the Blue Beetle
in the first place.

Come again?

When you saved my life,

you inspired me to join
the fight to eradicate evil.

- [automated voice] Eradication mode engaged.
- [exclaims]

Abort, abort, abort!

[Supergirl] Hmm.

So just know that whatever mark
Blue Beetle makes out there,

the world will have
Supergirl to thank for it.

[grunting]

[groans]

Who will be the first
to face Beetle justice?

Giganta?
The Royal Flush g*ng?

- Zod?
- Cool your jets, Blue.

You're not ready
for the big leagues just yet.

Clearly, there's no
talking you out of this.

So what do you say
I take you on patrol,

and, you know,
I can show you the ropes.

Give you a couple tips.

Keep you from, I don't know,
incinerating people, that kind of thing.

Blue Beetle's first team-up.
I like it.

[chuckles] Let's not get
ahead of ourselves okay?

Think of this more
like Super Hero 101.

I earned three advanced
degrees by age 12.

Pretty sure I'll ace
Super Hero 101.

Aah!

[chuckles nervously]

- [woman screaming]
- [alarm ringing]

Now, here we have your
classic bank robbery.

I got a plan.

- Whoa, whoa, no. Not that, no.
- [bones cracking]

Let me take
the lead on this one, Blue.

You watch.

[automated voice]
Spectator mode, engage.

[slurping]

- [robbers exclaim]
- It's your lucky day, jerks.

I'm having a two-for-one
super-wedgie special!

[robbers groaning]

Wait! That one's getting away.

[panting]

No, Blue, wait!

Huh?

[gasps]

Yeah, that m*ssile
was loaded with my

non-lethal freezing coolant.

Let's just move on.

[brakes screeching]

[all screaming]

[grunting]

[straining]

Whoa!

[crowd cheering]

[crying]

[exclaims]

Huh?

[gasps]

- [meows]
- Huh?

Hey, Blue. What gives?

Sorry, Supes.
I didn't become the Beetle

to watch
other people save the day.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you wouldn't
let me do anything.

You're not ready
to do anything.

I told you.
Ted Kord doesn't get ready.

He gets it done.

And I told you,

Ted Kord needs
to cool his jets

- and be patient.
- Me be patient? [laughs]

Maybe next time
you offer to "teach" someone,

make sure you have the patience
for them to learn first.

Well, I could think
of a million things

I'd rather be doing
than teaching you anyway.

Like watching paint dry.

Oh, right.

Not ready? I mean...

Just wait! She has no idea
what the Blue Beetle can do.

[automated voice]
Beetle crime detection alert.

The supervillain
known as Livewire

is wreaking havoc
in Midtown Metropolis.

- Oh! 99.999%
- [beeping]

And...

[beeps]


Whoo-hoo! [laughing]

- Whoo-hoo!
- What a ride! [laughs]

We... we did it.

Not sure what I did, but I'm
happy for you, Jeremiah.

Thanks.

Oh, I can't wait to write
my report up for Mr. Kord.

You know, none of this
would have been possible

without his support.

Remember how bad
my first meeting with him went?

Guess I'm lucky
he was patient enough

to give me
a second chance, huh?

[people screaming]

I love the smell
of chaos in Midtown.

[Blue Beetle]
That's enough, Livewire.

Whoa!

And who are you?

The Blue Beetle.

- Okay. Blue Beagle, I...
- Beetle.

What? Like a bug?

Kinda lame.

Okay, Blue Beetle.

Do your worst.

Pew, pew, pew, pew!

[laughs]

Huh?

You done, junior?

Blue? You in here?

It's me, Supergirl.

Where are you?

Oh!

[reporter] Live from Midtown, Blue
Beetle's getting pummeled by Livewire.

Oof! Who taught
this guy to be a hero?

[groans]

- [grunting]
- [laughing]

Livewire! Put him down.

Oh, Supergirl,
thank goodness.

Um... I mean, I have the
situation under control.

Come on, Supergirl.
Show's just getting started.

[grunts]

She's hotwired my Beetle Tech.

Believe me, I'm a way
better dancer than this!

[laughing] Stop hitting
yourself, Beetle!

Stop hitting yourself.

[chuckles]

I said put him down, Livewire.

[Supergirl grunts]

Move, man.
I don't want to hit you.

I mean, kinda do.

- [grunts]
- [exclaims]

Oh, man!
That wasn't me. That wasn't me!

[Blue Beetle grunting]

Still think
you're ready for this?

Go ahead, rub it in my face.

Oh, I totally plan to.

But first, I just want
to say you were right.

I could have been
a little more patient with you.

Thank you.
I accept your apology.

Did I say I was sorry?

It doesn't change the fact that if
you're going to play super hero,

- you gotta cool your...
- Jets, I know.

And when I get out of this...

Wait! Cool my jets. That's it! I
have a plan to stop Livewire.

No way!

Oh. Wait, right. Patience.
[chuckles nervously]

Okay, let's hear it.

Ow!

Thanks, Supes.
Now, you're not gonna like this

but I need you
to punch me... Ow!

- [laughing]
- [Blue Beetle] Oh, God!

Once you crack
my coolant tank,

I want you to throw me
at Livewire

as hard as you can.

Oh, man,
I am really loving this plan.

[automated voice]
Coolant tank compromised.

Whoa! [exclaims]

Now, Supergirl.

[gasps]

[groaning]

[chuckles, sighs]

[straining, grunts]

[siren wailing]

Well, I guess I owe you
for saving me from Livewire.

But then again, you owe me
for saving you from me

when Livewire
had control of my armor.

So... [chuckles]
I guess we're even.

Okay. Maybe I still owe you.

Want to pay me back?

No more super heroics
until you get proper training.

You're really gonna
give me another shot?

Well, you wouldn't
know this,

but you gave someone very
important to me a second chance.

I'm probably
going to regret it,

but I want to return
the favor.

In that case, I look forward
to our next team-up.

It's okay.
I own that building.
