He laughed when she bammed him, in a way that suggested he hadn't had a good laugh yet today. There really was nothing quite like creating your own sound effects while superheroing.
"Yeah, yeah, and our meddling dog, too, right? Whatever, you weird pantsless little man."
Seriously. What was with that? His upper body had clothes but his lower body was just water - now settling into concrete - with no pants. Why were there never any pants with these people?
Jaime held out his arm and it shifted into a gun that squirted a strange gel all over the guy to help contain him, a layer over the concrete mass.
He buzzed the appropriate authorities on his comm, turning to face Ms. Marvel with a 'hold on I have to do a thing ugh so inconvenient' expression on his face.
"This is Blue Beetle - which one? I don't know, Blue Beetle Esquire? The third one. Yeah. The one with the robot suit. Of the Defenders. I need a villain picked up on Bayview avenue in front of the Jersey City STAR labs. Hydro-Man. He's immobilized with concrete and a waterproof gel. Yeah. Yeah. No. You'd have to ask the lab people there, didn't ask what was stolen yet - or what he attempted to steal. ETA? Okay, good. Beetle out."

He made a 'gab gab gab gesture with his hand at Kamala, sticking out his tongue and rolling his eyes.' "Street-level hero, goes by Ms. Marvel. I thought we had one of those? A marvel?" A pause. "Oh, so she's Captain Marvel. But I thought we already had a Captain Marvel, the dude one." A pause. "Wait, so we have two Captain Marvels?"
He added quickly, defensively, "Yes, I paid attention to the lesson about the team roster. Mostly."
When he hadn't been dozing off.
He looked Kamala over. "Polymorph? Kinda a Stretch Armstrong Ms. Fantastic type? We have her on the roster? No? Okay, Dr. Pym, I'll talk to her. Beetle out."
He pointed at her.
"Hey you. You willing to meet me in a few minutes on a convenient rooftop near here? Got something to ask you but I have to make sure this guy gets picked up by the authorities first."
