The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you.

Ax had escaped the Controllers on board. Brainy had not been so lucky. Neither had Sam and Tim. And who knew how many others on board had Yeerks wrapped around their brains, controlling their every movement, pretending that everything was normal until the time came to strike.

Who do you trust, podlings?

"Absolutely not." Terry said immediately to Kara's request. Really, the idea of getting the belt away from Tim was a good one, and he hadn't thought if it. But right now? He couldn't trust anyone as far as he could throw them.

He was just reaching for the belt when Jaime started... defibrillating himself?

"Wow. ...I need to tell Bruce to work that into the suit."

Maybe he hears Danny. Maybe third time's the charm. Either way...



Jaime shudders and this time, he suddenly gasps and turns over on his side, coughing and sucking in deep breaths.

"Owwwwww. Dying hurts."

"...okaay, now that we've established Jaime isn't dead, anyone know what the heck is going on here?"

"Scarab, you really need to stop killing me," Jaime mutters, annoyed, sitting up.



"Not by much!" Jaime insists to the scarab.

To the others, he says, "And it's brain slugs. They're called Yeerks." He's gasping, and still wincing as he tries to get to his feet. "It's mind control brain slugs. We need to keep the people who have restrained for three days and the slugs die. They got Paco, too. So, I'd get Robin's belt off quick, although be careful, because one time, back home, I was joking about how my pants electrocute bad guys and he said something that makes me think he even booby-traps his underwear."
