[ Proximity. Like Karkat. That fits with what she said about feeling the Negotiator's heart, and of course means she's feeling her heart now. Even as transparent as she tends to be unintentionally, it's always uncomfortable to know when she's even more transparent than that. ]
More that I didn't know the Blue Beetle was him...them. I've met Jaime a few times, but wouldn't have said I knew him until it turned out I did. But Blue Beetle has helped me through very difficult times, and fought at my side through numerous crises.
I couldn't count how many lives continue still on this planet because of what they do. He is--They are a proper superhero, not like most of the useless fucks who claim the title.
[ Which is a lot more than Ruka asked, but the Blue Beetle's a big dude in Kanaya's mind, she just can't help letting some of that hero worship out. ]
Now, it seems what I knew was Khaji Da's power tempered and guided by Jaime Reyes' heart.
[ Hero worship or not, it's good to hear her speak so positively of them; Jaime's been a dear friend to her twice over now, and the Blue Beetle was, quite literally, the first hero that had ever helped her. Her own feelings are complicated once nuance and separation come in, but it hasn't done anything to change that childish sense of debt and loyalty.
If she's looking for it, Kanaya might even catch the faintest edge of a smile at the corner of her mouth, but it subsides quickly. ]
Yeah, it's close to that. Khaji usually manifests in the larger form when he's the one "driving," I've found. Jaime's the "face," so the Blue Beetle you usually see is him at the wheel. With the way my powers are now, I can still feel Khaji Da's presence... um, "overlapping" with Jaime, even when they're not suited up. They're not completely synchronized, but they're not separate either.
I don't know how much you read back, over what you missed, but... they're the ones that got everything organized enough to stop the bombing, last March. When Lachesis locked us in a constant rewind, to prevent our destruction. Jaime'll never take credit for it, I don't think, if you bring it up, but... without them, none of us would still be here, for certain.
