Kryptonite radiation, non-lethal suppression blasts, anti Green Lantern manifestations, anti-magic).</li><li>Energy Bubble - The armor is able to create a temporary energy bubble around the host and nearby people.  The bubble shields those within from outside attacks, but prevents them from leaving.  Flashes attempting to vibrate out of it have been blasted by the shield.</li><li>Vibrational Frequency Manipulation - The armor can negate the vibrational frequencies of extra-dimensional objects, pulling them into this reality.  This can also shift the Host out of phase with the universe, making him invisible and intangible to anything apart from technologies that normally interact with such objects.</li></ul></div></div></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Weaknesses</div><div class="spoiler_body"><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Green Lantern Corps - The Scarab sees the Green Lanterns as the "enemy".  The Scarab urges its host to kill them when they are present, acting very aggressively towards them.  The Green Lantern rings respond with "fear" towards the Scarab, inducing different affects depending on their wielder (Sparks, Migraines, Desire to kill the Host, etc.)</li><li>Truce With Nature - The Scarab will not hurt nature, or the magical creatures thereof, of its own volition.  The Host must force the Scarab into helping one way or another.</li><li>Alien Sentience - The Scarab's sentience and morality is strictly inhuman.  It cares little for humans in general and is willing to injure or kill them.  The Host must maintain control to prevent it from doing either.</li><li>Reach Tech - The Scarab's armor can be breached by the weapons of other Scarabs.  The Scarab and the Host are susceptible to Reach technology, forcing the Host to resist being controlled by them.</li><li>Magic - While the Scarab is aware of magic, it doesn't understand it.  It's able to perceive, absorb, and disrupt magical energies, but little else.  As a result, creatures of magic are often a significant challenge.  The Scarab can't analyse certain mystical creatures, and so is unable to develop countermeasures for them.  When faced with certain other mystical entities, such as the Spectre, the Scarab panics, offering its Host ever more powerful weapons to take them on, which can have unintended consequences.</li><li>Magnetic Shielding - Strong magnetic fields block the Scarab's ability to track.</li><li>Dispelling the Armor - When the armor is removed it causes the Host intense physical pain.  The more the armor is used the more the Host gets used to the pain, though it is never gone completely.</li><li>Teenage Boy - Jaime has all of the weaknesses normally associated with being a teenager.</li></ul></div></div></div></div>Location:  Zatanna's Room<br/>Tagging:  Zatanna<br/><hr/><br/>He smiled with amusement at her comment about being trapped, it was a kind of lopsided smile which only grew slightly as she pressed up against him again.  He pulled the box in a little closer against her lower back to tighten his hug around her.  "Well," he started thoughtfully before he leaned his forehead up against hers.  Wordlessly he tilted his head to tentatively brush his lips up against hers again.  The uncertainty of the contact eventually gave way to a more confident push from his lips and a pull from his arms.  He continued the kiss like it was his first drink of water after walking through the desert, drinking in the sensation.  When he finally parted his lips from hers he let the tip of their noses brush against each other briefly with a smile.<br/><br/>"Not every day I get invited into a hot girl's room and get to make out with her..." he said with a soft voice and a quiet laugh.  "I<em>really</em>want this too, but maybe we're going at this a little too fast," he suggested, though he didn't want to.  "What do you think?" he asked in that same whispered tone.  While he waited for the answer he slowly crouched down in front of her, eyes passing by the front of her body down past her waist as he set the box down behind her.  He stood back up and let his hands rest on her hips.
