Win managed a small grin, "no need for sighing," he said his eyes still closed, " i wouldn't change it whoevers idea it was, never would have bumped into your little sister ," a smile crossed his sleepy face,

As if he knew what Taran was thinking, he opened his eyes quite alert, "Don't you go wondering back to that battle , if i let you go back semi-fit , Autumn'll kill me," Winter said his eyes finally shut again and he drifted into a proper sleep.

The projection crossed her arms, "Cheeky, aren't we?" the projection seemed to be enjoying herself.

Sora gawked, "How, it's a giant teddy bear,"

"Fey laughed, " no not really how 'bout we pop inside and make a drink, and then talk," His robotic nature often made Fey laugh if he'd just relax he's be a great guy.

Ace nodded curtly to Fey, "That does sound nice, but remeber, even though the ship is yet compelete, I am on duty, so none of jacwe's ... firendly drinks," Jace had once slipped russian vodka into ace's hydro sake, and had gotten him very drunk, and nearly reprimanded by teague.

Maeve simply laughed a bit, and nodded to Fey, "Let's get some drinks, " she touched his arm, "Come on Ace ..."

Fey giggled, she gave Jace a sneaky wink, she had thought that was hilarious on ship," No, no maybe just some soda or a cup of Ros' tea,"

Ros' ears finally quirked and she appeared in the doorway of the house, "Did someone say Tea?" She smilled eagerly

Ace nodded, he always enjoyed Ros' tea, no one made as well as she did he bleieved, "Yes, tea would be lovely," he nodded to Ros, msling ,"Hello Ros."

Maeve pulled Ace into the ktichen, grinning to Fey as she moved to the kitchen, pulling a blottle of water for herself, "I would not dare try to recreate ros' tea, it would be disasterous."

Meanwhile, on the ship ...

Boomer pulled himself out of a Jeffries Tube, and wiped off his face, in turn getting mroe grease on it. he had a plasma gellpack in one hand, and a succession of fried wires in the other. He sighed, before dropping the wires in a bucket, setting the gl pack down .he accessed a com badge on his vest that was star shaped and contacted his brother, "Ace? Buddy who's it be goin' down there?" a small smirk hit his lips as his mind drifted abck to the good old days ...

--

Ace hit his own badge, amplified for the distance, "Fine fine Boomer, I've made contact, we're getting down to things here ..."

Ace smiled and sat himself, before taking a cup and taking his tea black, sugar wasn't his thing, "Thigs are progressing ahead of schedule, we estimated total rconstruction to be over a 6 month period, but of cours,e thanks to my brother, and his small tech crew, things are going a double speed ... for now, "he dind't want toget all their hopes up, "It won't be long ebfore you can start moving yourthings back in, and we can take in cadets again," he looked aorund, "So ... I hear that all of the reavers on't be returning ... is that true?" iot was no secret of how desperate he was to be a rever himself.

Maeve simply shuckled, before shaking ehr head, "That is true. Taren, Tori, Shen, Bob and Zeiku all will be leaving us ..." she sighed abit, "Only Myself, Fey, Raoul, Jace and Ros will be staying on. Though it will be interesting to se new faces .. .and see how many of tehm come out of training ..."

Ros nodded, "You know those crystals they choose who they want," thats how it had been with herself and Taran.
Fey nodded , " it will be an odd feeling to go back without them, i've watched Taran grow from a teenage to a responsible man and leader, Tori too, our little reaver rangers still got quite a bit of growing to do yet though,"

Ace nodded. he often wondered, that since he hadn't been chosen by now, if he'd ever be chosen. He took anotehr siup of the tea, "I do hope that things will work of as well as they seem to ..."

--

Boomer was sitting in one of the sectored of Jeffries Tubes, and leaned abck, his second in command toldhim to take a break, he had fried some wires a bit, and knew himself he needed a good sit. And what better time tha nto bug his brother and catch up with the reavers?

Boomer held out a small scan device atached to a PADD. he set it down in front of him and grinne,d before punching in the coordinates and pressing send.

--

Ace shifted awkwardly as he pulled his padd from his pocekt and set it on the table. He'd set it to vibrate. Ace pressed open and sighed as he saw the hunched form of his borther pixellate in holo form.

Boomer grinned and gave a half assed wave at his brotehr, then looked at the girls around him, "Ah ladies ... see you're keeping my brotehr company," he nodded to each of them, "Maeve, Fey ... Ros," he gave jher a little wink. They'd engaged in a little on ship flirting, though it had never gone past that, fliritng was all the fun he could endure with his stressful work.

Taran sighed and flopped back on the bedand listened to the continuing game of Simon Says
--

Widow grinned and wrapped her hand around his on the staff."Yes, let's," she agreed
--

Felix and rex rushed forward to get the bear off of Zoe or pull her free one

they're a bit more high tech and can split up into two smaller gundam like machines that are kinda mechahumaoiddinos
--

Griff tilted his head. "I've been called worse," he declared as if the projection repeating his words was having a conversation with him

Renzo smirked and held tight the staff as a long red beam flew from the moon to hit rex the bear. they barely had enough time to pull zoe free before he began t grow, and grown and grow, crushigthe roof of the cave in the wake of it.

The ground had rumbled so much ,RYla barely had enough time to jump fomr the cav, before getting hit by the ruble, thoug she did get a good whack in the back from soemd ebris. She rolled and groaned as she stood, "Stupid bear ... "

Zoe grunted as she flew from the cave, landing hard on her sid, "Oww ..." she stood and stare up, "Holy huge teddy bear batman ..."

Ariana arrows had scatteered as the ebar grew, and she had been caught in the wake. She pressed her communicator, teleporting to outside the cave, gasping for brethm, "Too close ..."

--

Rito teleported back to the throne room and had thrown off his helmet, sighing, "Thos ranger .... something else ..."

The rest nearly didn't make it either, but somehow managed to scrape out

rex looked up at the bear named for him. "Jesus fuck," he said succintly.

"Zord time," Tai said decisively.
--

"Now let's watch them scurry," Widow declared
--

Jayde stopped playing with her ball ages ago and had found...alternate means of enjoying herself. She glanced up as Rito appeared. "Purple isn't your color," she told him with an inviting smile on her face

The ranger nod, and prepare to summon their zords.

Ariana who di not have a zord, chose to teleport back to the CC, to monitor them incase anything were to happen.

--

In a flash of mist, his normal attire, just a pair of camo pants appear, and he smirked, "THis better my dear?"

Autumn watched the others call the zord's , "Not much I can do without Win is there," she smilled from behind her visor at Sora,

Sora laughed, "I'm sure you'll get your own big action figure soon," Sora surveyed the surroundings, "maybe we should follow Ariana's lead," Sora suggested,

Autumn nodded and teleported back to the CC following Sora's lead.


"Cool, Power Rangers ," a gleeful little voice called, Ruben was a cheerful cute three year old, he soon got up latching onto Sora's still morphed leg, "I think your great, Ollie says i'm silly, he say's the gold one is better , i say he's wrong,"

Sora blushed somewhat, not that anyone could tell he knelled down to the boy's level, "Well it's nice to have a fan," he smilled.
"And you have a coooollllll accent," Ruben declared.

Sora laughed, he probably was the easiest to track out the rangers but he knew that.

Ollie looked around approaching Ruben, "where's the gold one?"

"Ah more gold ranger fans ," Sora said shooting Autumn a look.

Autumn blushed uncontrollably, she shot Sora a look from behind her visor, her body language showed she was embarassed.

Three little girls curled from Kim's lap and ran over, giggling, "We think the gold and red are sooooooo cute!" they giggled and covered their faces, laughing.

Ariana laughed a bit, before nodding to the kids, walking behind the barrier, checking on the otehrs, "How ar we doing?"

--

Ryla nodded to Tai as thy called their zords and leaped up, the animalistic zords spliotting into two humanid robots. She stood in hers, and linked to the others through helecomm, "We ready to kick ass?"

Taran sat up when he heard the kids talking about the gold rangers. Fans. He wasn't crazy about fans. Cerise had but the fear of fandom in him like no other could. But, he reasoned, these were just little kids, not overactive fourteen year olds. So he stood and Morphed. So far so good. He then stepped from the halograpic sheild and apparaoched Autumn and Sora

Trini smiled as the kids lost interest in the game of Simon Says as power rangers began to appear. She leaned against a console and watched

Kat sighed and looked around as the kids began to notice the Rangers. She didn't say anything. She didn't know Trini at all and wasn't sure how she was looked at by the best friend of Kim, wom Kat had felt her animosity. She looked around a again, supposing everyone else must be at work because they were the only four that answered beez's summons. She herself was just lucky enough to have finished her audition. She even left her bag. With her clothes in it. She winced. She'd have to teleport later and get it

The girls squealed and ran towards the gold ranger, jumping and giggling, "We lvoe you Gold ranger!" they grabbed onto his legs and gigged to each otehr, "You're so strong! Eeee! We're hugging him! Eeee!"

One girl though just rolled her eyes and laughed, "Stupid ... they're just the rangers ..." she wore a pair of thick square frames and her hair pull back in one long braid on her haead, swinging abck and forth. She worer overhauls and mismatched sneakers.

Autumn latched onto Taran's arm concerned, "You shouldn't be up and about," Autumn scolded him, if Winter had done the same, he more so would have felt the wrath of her tongue.

Lucky for Winter, he was fast asleep,

"Cool! the Gold Ranger," Ollie declared his twinkling blue eyes under a mass of blonde hair, wearing overalls/dungarees, he latched onto Taran's leg like Rubin had to Sora, "Dom said you'd dies , i told him he was wrong, now i can tell him, tell him," the toddler declared.


Sora looked up at Taran and Autumn, waiting for Taran to blush so visibly that even his helmet wouldn't hide it,

"She's right you know, " Sora said with a laugh as Taran got ambushed.

Jason finally teleported in, "whats with the grouchy child?" He asked before smilling widely at Cat , a cheeky glint in his
eye.

Taran sighed and laughed. "You tell Dom that it takes more than one Mean Green to get rid of me," he declared, a musemnt in his voice, even the mini girls didn't bug him much. He looked at Autumn and shrugged. "I'm fine," he assured her. "I wasn't hurt so much as...tossed through the spin cycle," he said

Kat looked at the child. "Oh, she's probably disappointed the right one hasn't come along yet," she anwered in a quiet voice so the girl wouldn't hear

The little girl pushed up her frames and shook her head, "The circrity of these consoles are ingenius i must say, she walked slowly around and pressed a hand to the viewing globe, "Fascinating ..."

Her name was Jude, and she was only a few months shy of being bumped up 3 grades.

The other grils simply continued squealing and whispring to each otehr giggling.
