- Wonder Girl: Listen, uh, Black Beetle, you're totally outnumbered. Open those doors now and we'll go easy on you.
- Black Beetle: You? Will go easy? On me?
- [Breaks out laughing]
- Bumblebee: Oh, that is not a good sign
- Wonder Girl: What did you do to her?
- Black Beetle: Shifted the density of the door. Wasn't quite prepared for that, was she? But don't be jealous. I can put you halfway through the door, too. Halfway... the hard way.
- Reach Scientist: The Scarab's memory files are corrupted. The only recoverable data is from the last eight months. That is, since it fused with this host body. In fact I was just reviewing the point of insertion...
- Reach Ambassador: Spare me the details. If the Scarab is Off-Mode, perform a Reboot.
- Reach Scientist: I'd rather assess the cause of the crash, Ambassador, to make certain it can not happen again.
- Black Beetle: No, Scientist. Admit it. You just enjoy playing with the meat.
- Reach Scientist: Well, there's that too.
- Reach Ambassador: These are our labs. Most dedicated to researching the human meta-gene.
- Kaldur'ahm: Meta-gene?
- Reach Ambassador: A genetic marker indicating the potential of an individual human to survive catastrophic physical trauma by adapting new abilities.
- Kaldur'ahm: In other words, ambassador, the meta-gene allows certain humans to develop super-human powers.
- Nightwing: So this is the Light's partner. That ship shares the same alien design sensibility as the bombs that destroyed Malina island and Mount Justice.
- Wonder Girl: Kinda reminds me of Blue's armor.
- Barbara Gordon: We're unsupervised now, but Blue's still unaccounted for. An escape could trigger response. Do we wait?
- Nightwing: Negative, alpha. Make your move. Before you need rescuing too.
- Black Beetle: Little brother, one way or another, I'm putting you back on mode. You are of the Reach and cannot escape it.
- G. Gordon Godfrey: Well, thumbs up to the Reach. Oh, I know what you're thinking: "Old G. Gordon has gotten soft on the spacemen". But don't you see? This is exactly how aliens should come to Earth. Knocking on our front door - not sneaking in the back... like some Leaguers we know.
- Beast Boy: I think she's still basking in the glow of victory. She totally nailed Aqualad. You should've seen it! Well, actually it didn't look like much, but I'm sure it was very cool inside their heads!
- Reach Scientist: This human Beetle is a disappointment. How can he be the Reach's advanced operative on Earth if his Scarab refuses to function On-Mode?
- Black Beetle: Then Reboot.
- Reach Scientist: Yes, that may be necessary. Of course, we'd require a new host.
- Black Beetle: Finding another will not be difficult. Though removing the Scarab for Mode repair will kill this Jaime Reyes, "meat" is plentiful here.
