New 52 Blue Beetle's SPARKY!

Description

theunbrilliant.deviantart.com/ came up with the idea for Ted Kord's sidekick. 
"My idea is his a-hole brother whom he mentions in Countdown goes to prison and Ted's the only available family member for his niece whom he has to take in despite not being a big fan of kids. His niece is named Abby (for now) and is 10. She's a lot like Ted but more confident and is a chess whiz. She has dark red hair like Ted did in the 80s and and after discovering Ted is BB takes on her own bug identity like Dragonfly (she wanted Superfly but Ted talked her out of that.) That's all I got for now."
So I drew up her idea because I liked it and I added some things.  I think her super name could be Sparky (after Dan Garret's original sidekick).  And I see Ted making her a special belt that she clicks the scarab and activates a protective energy shield.  He used the design from his buddy Booster Gold's energy shield and modified it.  I see him keeping her in the big or at home away from the action for the most part.  But also training her to protect herself.  She is like his Oracle or Tech Support helping him from afar while they is training for later to help in the field she hopes.
I designed her costume mostly similar to this costume:  demyrie.deviantart.com/#/art/B… And the whole page I designed similar to the intro page for Mary Marvel where Captain Marvel is introducing her. 
Plus the armor because I thought Ted would want her to be as protected as possible.
I see Ted being more of a father to her than his brother and maybe one day even adopting her.  He cares a great deal for his niece.

Do you mind if I draw her at some point using your design? (And crediting of course) :)
