Note: I am
extremely grateful to Jenee for stepping in to beta read this chapter!
And a very
special thank you to Slshadowfox for beta reading for me for most of this
story. Couldn't have done it without you, Thank you!
Don’t forget
to review!
Can you see me, here I am
Standing
here where I've always been
And when
words are not enough
I climb
inside your heart I'd still find
You're
my safest place to hide
-Backstreet
Boys
The
Command Centre was silent, the only sounds coming from the console. Wes, Jen,
Adrian and Melanie were alone with Kat, the men pacing around as the woman sat
by and watched.
“I can’t stand
not knowing anything!” Jen finally burst out. “What the hell is happening
over there?”
“Only time can
tell,” Kat replied grimly.
“This is
ridiculous!” Jen roared. Days of pent up tension and stress were finally
getting to her. She turned to Wes. “We were power rangers and we can’t
even do anything to help them!”
Wes’s eyes
looked sad. Exhaustion and worry over Sky had caused the both of them to have
sleepless nights. He hated being helpless.
Adrian and
Melanie didn’t look much better. Though he knew nothing about police business,
Adrian had stubbornly stayed up with Wes, insisting that he had to do something
to help, even if it wasn’t much. After all, his baby girl was in danger.
Melanie was in no better position. Though she had restless nights, all the
blonde woman could do was sit numbly and watch as the others took charge.
“Can’t we
watch them through a screen or something?” Jen asked.
“We can only
monitor them if the rangers are morphed,” Kat explained. “The minute they
morph, it’ll show us footage.”
Jen let out a
frustrated sigh. “Great,” she said sarcastically.
Two hours
passed, and all four adults and Kat resumed to what they had been doing before
Jen’s outburst. Only this time, it was Melanie and Kat who were sitting, Jen
had joined the men in pacing around.
Suddenly,
sirens were heard and the squealing of tires as the cars halted to a stop.
Minutes later, there was a storm of pounding feet and lots of yelling. They all
rushed out of the Command Centre and into the hallway, where they were
instantly flattened to the side as two stretchers passed by them, heading
toward the infirmary.
Jen’s eyes
widened in horror once she saw her blood stained son being rushed by, “SKY!”
She felt strong arms wrap around her shoulders and she gazed up into her
husband’s eyes. Wes’s eyes showed every drop of fear that she felt.
“MOVE BACK!”
The doctor hollered as they rushed Sky and Jack to the infirmary. “We need three
units of blood for this man, STAT!”
They could
only watch numbly as Sky and Jack disappeared behind the swinging doors.
“THEY HAVE TO
SAVE HIM! PLEASE, DON’T LET HIM DIE!”
Kat, Jen, Wes,
Adrian and Melanie turned to the hysterical voice that was coming down the
hallway.
Seconds later,
there was more chaos as Syd came rushing wildly toward them, sobbing
hysterically, with Bridge and Z right on her heels. Syd ran past the adults and
was nearing the infirmary doors, but before she could go inside, Bridge grabbed
her by the arms, preventing her from entering the room.
“Sydney!”
Melanie cried out. The blonde woman looked equally as horrified as Jen did. Her
daughter looked a mess, there were bruises along her arms, and dried blood on
her hands.
The pink ranger
was oblivious to her mother’s horrified cry as she fought against Bridge and Z,
trying to break free. The bottom of the pink ranger’s shirt was covered in
blood, Sky’s blood, but she took no note of it and didn’t care. “Let me go
Bridge!” Syd cried out desperately, struggling. “I have to get in there! Sky
needs me! I have to make sure he’s alright!”
“You can’t go
in there Syd,” the green ranger replied, trying to reason with her, “You’ll
only distract them! They need to concentrate on helping Sky and Jack.”
“Let me go!”
“No Syd, I
know you want to go in there, but you can’t!”
“LET ME GO!”
“Bridge is
right, Syd,” Z said gently as Syd collapsed to the ground, her energy spent.
The yellow ranger knelt next to her roommate. “Sky will pull through. You guys
have been through so much; he’s not going to leave you now.”
Tears fell
down the pink ranger’s cheeks as her body was racked with uncontrollable sobs
and she fell against Bridge. “Jake shot him twice, he shot him twice. He
lost so much blood…”
“Maybe we should
get you cleaned up,” Z suggested, not knowing what else to say.
Syd shook her
head. “I’m not leaving!”
By now
everyone had gathered in the waiting area of the infirmary. Adrian stepped
toward his daughter. “Sydney honey, maybe you should see a doctor. You’re
covered in blood, you could be seriously hurt.”
Syd glared at
everyone around her, the tears were still flowing. “I said I’m not leaving!
This isn’t my blood! This is Sky’s blood! He got shot trying to protect me,
Jake was shooting at us and he couldn’t put up his shield in time and… and…”
the tears were flowing harder now and she couldn’t stop shaking. She glared at
the infirmary doors as if Sky was standing right there. “Sky, you are such an
idiot! If you die on me, I’ll never forgive you!”
The pink
ranger tried to stand, but as she was getting up, everything around her became
dizzy and she swayed. A second later, her eyes rolled to the back of her head
and she fainted.
“Syd!” Bridge
moved forward and caught the pink ranger just before she fell to the ground.
Kat stepped
forward and felt the pink ranger’s pulse. “She’s okay,” Kat announced. “The
stress and shock was too much for her, she just fainted.” The alien cat turned
toward the yellow ranger. “Z, I think maybe you should take Syd and her parents
back to your room and get her cleaned up a bit. We’ll inform you if anything
changes.”
Z nodded.
Adrian moved to take Syd from Bridge and together the four of them disappeared
from view.
“Now, Bridge,”
Kat turned toward the green ranger. “Why don’t you tell us what happened?”
The green
ranger nodded. He began the story, telling Wes, Jen and Kat exactly what
happened, starting with how Z had figured out where Jake really was. How they
rushed up to the beach house, and how they found Jack unconscious and how RIC’s
systems were all shut off. Bridge explained how he had rushed outside to the
beach and found Commander Cruger striking Jake with his sword. He explained how
he also had shot Jake with his own blaster.
“Where is
Doggie now?” Kat asked, giving her head a little shake. It was kind of hard to
believe that ‘Jake Hemmington’ was dead.
“He’s still at
the beach, Jake’s body is still there, he and the SWAT team are cleaning up,”
Bridge replied.
Jen clutched
Wes’s head. Her baby, her only child was hurt and hurt badly. She blinked back
tears, forcing herself to stay strong.
Time would
only tell if Sky would make it or not.
-x-x-x-
Syd awoke to
sounds of a woman sniffing. The pink ranger blinked a few times before looking
around with her eyes. She was back in her room, at the Academy. It had been a
dream… just a really bad nightmare… there was no Jake, and Sky was…
Sky!
Syd bolted
upright with a cry. It hadn’t been a nightmare, it had really happened. She was
dressed in her SPD sweatshirt and sweatpants, but she took no noticed of her
attire as she looked around the room wildly. Immediately, three faces appeared
in her line of sight, each face was looking at her with concern.
“Syd!” The
yellow ranger exclaimed. “You’re awake!”
“Where’s Sky?
Is he alright?” Syd asked urgently, throwing back her covers. The pink ranger
didn’t wait for an answer as she leapt out of bed and rushed toward the
infirmary before anyone could say anything. She ran as fast as she could, and
stopped short just as she reached the waiting area.
Jen was
sleeping in Wes’s arms, the former red ranger sat in one of the chairs waiting
anxiously. Bridge was pacing back and forth. She rushed up to Bridge. The green
ranger stopped short when he saw his best friend. “Syd, you’re awake!”
“Tell me he’s
going to be okay Bridge,” she pleaded, “tell me he’s already made it, and that
he’s just sleeping right now.”
Bridge’s face
fell. “I’m sorry Syd,” he said finally, “we haven’t heard anything yet.”
Tears began to
well up in her eyes once more. Bridge gathered his best friend into his arms,
“He’ll make it Syd. He’s never let us down before.”
The pink
ranger sniffed. “If he dies on me, I’ll never forgive him!”
Adrian and
Melanie stood back as they watched Z join Bridge and Syd’s embrace, forming a
group hug. “Our little girl is all grown up now,” Adrian murmured, wrapping an
arm around his wife. Melanie could only nod. “I wish there was something I
could do or say to comfort her,” she whispered.
“Let her be,
she’ll come to us when she’s ready. Right now, she needs her friends.”
By now Jen was
awake and the former pink time force ranger approached Syd. Syd detached
herself from Bridge and Z before rushing into Jen’s arms. “I’m sorry,” Syd
whimpered, “it was my fault, he was trying to protect me.”
“Shhh,” Jen
whispered. “No sweetie, it wasn’t your fault. It wasn’t anyone’s fault. Sky
loves you, and he would do anything to protect you.”
Syd shifted,
her gaze landed back on the infirmary doors. “I’m the one who’s supposed to be
in there,” she whispered.
Jen hugged her
tighter. “Don’t say that honey,” she whispered into Syd’s blonde hair. “It’s
not your fault, Sky loves you. He’s strong and we have to pray that he pulls
through.”
Syd sniffed,
taking comfort in Jen’s embrace.
-x-x-x-
An hour later,
a man dressed in a white lab coat stepped out into the waiting area. Dr. Wood
was momentarily surprised when a group of people rushed at him, but regained
control as he looked at all the expectant faces.
“Mr. Landors
is doing well,” the doctors announced. “He has a slight concussion, but with
plenty of rest he’ll be up and about in no time.”
Z smiled with
relief and Bridge wrapped an arm around her. She let out a sigh and fell deeper
into the green ranger’s embrace. Jack was going to be okay!
“What about
Sky?” Syd asked fearfully, her voice small. “Is he going to be okay?”
The doctor’s
expression fell. “I’m afraid at this point only time will tell. His injuries
were very severe. He was shot in the stomach and in his right shoulder. His rib
cage was cracked and he lost a lot of blood. He has a concussion and suffered a
blow to his head and is in critical condition.”
Z and Bridge
had unreadable expressions on their faces. Syd became paler with every word
that came out of the doctor’s mouth. “Is he going to be okay?”
“Miss Drew-“
“Answer my
question!”
“Perhaps-“
“Is Sky going
to be OKAY?”
“Maybe-“
“DAMN IT!
ANSWER MY QUESTION! IS SKY GOING TO BE ALRIGHT?”
“Somebody hold
her down!” Kat announced, coming into the room with a needle in hand. Within
minutes, Syd was resting comfortably.
Bridge gave
the doctor an apologetic look. “She’s usually not like this; she’s been through
a lot these last few weeks.”
“I can
imagine,” Dr. Wood shook his head. “As I was saying, Sky is in critical
condition, but he is stable for now. He is currently sleeping, but you may
visit him if you’d like.”
Wes and Jen
nodded. “Thank you, doctor.”
-x-x-x-
Sky groaned
and squeezed his eyes shut. The light was unusually bright and he could hear
soft voices talking somewhere in the distance. He blinked rapidly against the
bright light and tried to open his eyes completely. Where was he?
“Sky!”
He turned his
head slightly to the left and saw his parents standing by his bedside. He
blinked again and looked around, realizing that he must be in a hospital
somewhere.
“Mom? Dad?” he
rasped out.
“Oh thank
god,” Jen cried. Wes looked relieved as well.
“What
happened?” Sky asked weakly, his voice harsh and dry. As soon as he voiced his
question, the events came flooding back to him. “Where’s Syd? Is she okay?” He
tried to sit up but was immediately plagued by the pain that seemed to rip
through his body. He winced and laid flat on his back once more.
“She’s fine,”
Wes said quickly, reassuring his son. “She was worried about you though, Kat
had to sedate her because she was becoming too hysterical.”
Concern flowed
through him. “Where is she now?”
“She’s resting
on the couch in the waiting room, the sedative should be wearing off soon,” Jen
answered. “Don’t ever do that to me again Sky, I don’t think my blood pressure
can take another scare like that!”
“And I can
only take so much stress in one lifetime,” Wes added.
Sky tried to
nod. He looked up at his mother. “I’m sorry I didn’t call to cancel for dinner.
I know I must’ve worried you.”
“You have
nothing to be sorry for! Jeez Sky, you got shot, and all you can think about is
not calling to cancel for dinner?” Jen said admonished. “We’re just glad you’re
safe.”
Sky took a
deep breath. “How long was I out?”
Wes gave a wry
chuckle. “Try fifteen hours.”
“That long?”
“Yes, that
long,” Jen stroked his hair. “You had us so worried.”
“I’m sorry
mom. I love you.”
“I love you
too,” Jen bent over to give the blue ranger a hug. “Now, I believe you have
some very worried friends waiting to see you.”
Wes clapped
Sky’s left shoulder lightly and ruffled his hair. “Try not to get into anymore
trouble, alright son? I’d like you to live for another few decades.”
Sky chuckled.
“Don’t worry dad, I won’t.”
“We’ll check
up on you later.”
Wes and Jen
left as Bridge and Z came into the room. The yellow ranger stared at him
cautiously, as if she didn’t know what to make of the situation. Bridge
however, pulled up a chair next to his bed and sat down.
“How are you
feeling?”
“Like shit,”
he answered honestly.
Bridge rolled
his eyes. “I can imagine.”
Z approached
him now. “I’m glad you’re going to be okay Sky.”
“Thanks Z,”
Sky tried to smile, but even the slightest effort was painful. “How’s Jack?”
“He’s okay,”
she answered. “Sleeping as we speak.”
“And Syd?”
The green
ranger’s expression turned serious. “Oh man, you should’ve seen her Sky. She
was a wreck. She was so scared, heck, the condition you were in scared all of
us.”
Sky did his
best to shrug. “She was in danger. I promised that I wouldn’t let anything
happen to her.” He looked up at Z and Bridge, “she’s really okay?”
“She fainted
once and now she’s knocked out cold, but the sedative Kat gave her should be
wearing off soon,” Z said. “Don’t worry, she’ll be in here to visit you the
moment she wakes up.”
Sky smiled. “I
can’t wait to see her.”
Z rolled her
eyes. “Typical.”
“Wait,” Sky
suddenly frowned. “What happened to Jake?”
“Cruger got
him with his sword, and then Bridge shot him with his blaster,” Z answered.
It took a
moment for things to sink in. “So, he’s gone?”
“Gone and
staying gone.”
“Wow,” the
blue ranger paused. “So that’s it then. It’s truly over.”
“Looks like,”
Bridge said.
There was a
moment of silence and then Sky let out a yawn.
Z giggled. “I
guess that’s our cue to let you get some rest.” The yellow ranger leaned over
the bed and quickly gave Sky a hug. “Take it easy, okay?”
Bridge clapped
Sky on his left shoulder. “Yeah, get plenty of rest. We’ll stop by again
later.”
“Thanks guys.”
The door
closed behind his fellow rangers and Sky closed his eyes. So, Jake was finally
gone. Dead. After the last few weeks, it was hard to believe this entire
nightmare was finally over. He and Syd would be able to return to their normal
lives once again. Sky let out a sigh and prepared to get as comfortable as he
could. Just as he was about to drift off, there was a soft knock at his door.
He opened his eyes. “Come in,” he called out, his voice was still dry.
The door
opened and Arian Drew walked into the room, followed by a blonde woman, whom
Sky assumed was Sydney’s mother. He made the attempt to sit up.
“No, please,
don’t get up.” Adrian held his hands in front of him, as if he was going to
push Sky back into his original position. “It’s not necessary.”
Not having the
energy to argue, Sky nodded and laid back, breathing through the pain.
Adrian and
Melanie stood next to the bed. “We just wanted to thank you,” Adrian wrapped an
arm around his wife, “for protecting our daughter the way you did. It was very
brave of you to risk your life.” Adrian’s eyes showed gratitude. “I am in your
debt.”
Sky stared up
at the man. “Sir,” he croaked. “I won’t lie to you. I love your daughter, more
than I’ve ever loved anyone. I would do it again.”
Adrian nodded.
“My daughter is lucky enough to have found such a noble young man.”
“Thank you
sir, that means a lot.”
Melanie
cleared her throat and turned to her husband. “I’d like to talk to Sky
privately for a moment.”
Adrian nodded
and turned to leave; leaving Sky to wonder what Sydney’s mother was going to
say to him.
There was a
brief silence before she spoke. “I need to apologize.”
Surprised, Sky
kept silent as she continued. “I should have never been so rude or judgmental
towards you. You protected my daughter at all costs, almost losing your life in
the process, and for that I will be forever grateful to you.”
Sky took a
deep breath. “Mrs. Dr-“
“Please,”
Melanie held up a hand, “let me finish. I was so caught up in my world of
glamour that I refused to accept Sydney’s chosen lifestyle. And believe
me, her becoming involved with SPD was not what I had in mind for her future. I
judged you so harshly, and you didn’t deserve that. I’m truly sorry.”
“Mrs. Drew, I
accept your apology,” Sky started again, looking up at the woman in front of
him, “but I have to tell you right now, that I love Sydney. I want to be with
her, and I would really like it if we had your approval of our relationship. It
would mean a lot to Sydney too. Syd refuses to admit it, but she needs her
mother, and it hurts her whenever the two of you fight.”
Melanie smiled
and patted the blue ranger’s arm. “You don’t need to ask for my approval, you
already have it,” she paused, then winked. “You know, I’ve always wanted a son.
Maybe you and Sydney could settle down sometime soon?”
Sky blushed.
“I don’t think we’re quite there yet, Mrs. Drew. But maybe sometime in the
future? A few years from now, perhaps?”
Melanie
laughed and patted his arm once more. “Fair enough. Now I suggest you rest, so
you can recover faster. I expect Sydney will be up soon and then you two will
be able to spend all the time you want together.”
“Thank you Mrs.
Drew,” Sky called out as the blonde woman turned and left. He leaned back into
his pillows and gave a soft chuckle. Wonders will never cease.
-x-x-x-
Syd pushed
opened the door quietly, careful to not make a sound. At the sight of Sky,
tears welled up in her eyes. But she blinked them back; she had done enough
crying already. Sky had a bandaged wrapped around his forehead, and though his
shirt concealed it, the pink ranger was sure there were more bandages around
his stomach and right shoulder. There were bruises around his neck, where Jake
had tried to suffocate him. She reached his bed and carefully sat down at the
edge, reaching up; she softly ran her fingers through Sky’s tousled hair. The
blue ranger stirred, but didn’t open his eyes. Instead, he leaned in further
into her hand as she was stroking his cheek with her thumb, a soft smile
playing at his lips.
She sat there,
watching him sleep, time passed and after what felt like hours, Sky opened his
eyes to find her smiling at him.
“Hey,” his
voice was soft, and his heart filled with joy at seeing her.
“Hi.”
“Are you
okay?”
She laughed
softly, again tears coming to her eyes. “You’re the one that got shot twice,
and you’re asking if I’m okay?”
He grinned.
“Are you?”
“I’m perfectly
fine,” her voice fell soft. “Thanks to you.”
Sky gave a
relieved smile at her answer. “Everyone said you were fine, but I had to make
sure.”
Syd smiled,
feeling touched, and then her expression turned serious. “You scared me. I
thought you were going to die.”
“I’m still
here, aren’t I?”
“You have no
idea how glad I am to see you awake. You were so pale… and you wouldn’t open
your eyes,” Syd’s voice cracked, “I thought that Jake…”
“Shh,” Sky
soothed, reaching up to brush away her tears. “It’s all over now.”
She
intertwined her hand with his. “I’m so glad you’re alive.”
“Like I would
ever leave you.”
Syd stared at
him, and smiled softly. “You should get some more rest,” she said finally.
He raised an
eyebrow. “I just woke up! It seems like I’m always sleeping.”
“That’s
because you need to rest in order to recover faster. Don’t worry we’ll take
care of you.”
Sky grinned.
“I know you’ll take care of me. I doubt Jack will want to do my laundry
though.”
She laughed
then kissed his forehead. “Of course I’ll take care of you. I’ll even do your
laundry, if you want.”
“Syd, do you
even know how to work the washing machine?”
There was a
silence. “I could learn…”
Sky rolled his
eyes. “That’s okay. I’ll do my own laundry. It would be bad if one of my white
shirts suddenly went pink because you put a red sock in the machine.”
Syd pouted,
and then grinned. Leaning forward, she gently kissed him on the lips. “Get some
rest now.”
He yawned.
“Stay with me?”
Syd stretched
out along the bed, careful not to touch his injuries. She laid her head on his
uninjured shoulder, his arm wrapped around her waist. “Always.”
“I love you
Syd,” he murmured sleepily.
“I love you
too,” she replied before reaching up and pressing another slight kiss to his
lips. Within minutes, the both of them fell asleep.
Melanie and Jen
walked by the room a half an hour later, and peeked in. The sight of their
children curled up together, made them both smile widely, making each woman
wish they had a camera to capture the moment. After watching them for a few
minutes, Jen reached out and quietly closed the door. With Syd by his side, Jen
had no doubts that Sky would recover in no time.
-x-x-x-
-Four
months later-
“Hey Jack,
over here!”
Bridge’s shout
drew Syd’s attention as she handed the packet of hot dogs to Z. She watched
with a smile as Jack sent the bright orange Frisbee whizzing off to the green
ranger, who jumped, caught it and passed the disk onto Boom. The game had been
going on for almost an hour now; the men were playing enthusiastically, while
the women were preparing the food and watching the barbecue.
Four months
had passed since that awful night on the beach. Jack had been released after a
week, the red ranger had suffered a concussion but for the most part he was
okay. Within days, he was up and about and fighting battles once more. Syd had
heard from Z that their red ranger had taken a liking to a red headed nurse
while he had been in the infirmary and was flirting it up. Sky had been in
critical condition for a week and little by little he gradually began to
improve. He stayed in the infirmary for almost four weeks and for the entire
time, Sydney camped out in a chair by his bed, holding his hand, whispering to
him even when he slept. She had taken care of him like she had promised and she
did it whole heartedly. She even did his laundry and thankfully, no shirts had
turned pink.
Once Sky had
been released from the hospital, the next few weeks passed in a blur. Nothing
was the same anymore. For the most part, things returned to normal, though, Syd
was now unable to sleep without Sky by her side and would sometimes wake up in
the middle of the night to sneak into his room and climb into his bed.
SPD had more
questions and also more information about Jake’s past –but she found that she
didn’t care about any of it. Jake Hemmington was dead –in her mind, he would
never be remembered as Jordan Drover- and that was all that mattered. The
nightmare was truly over. All they had to worry about now was Grumm attacking
at odd moments.
The game was
soon interrupted when the smell of sizzling hamburgers and hot dogs filled the
air. Like typical males, the men rushed toward the food like a dog chasing its
tail.
“Take it easy
Wes! The food isn’t going anywhere, there’s enough for everybody!”
Jen Collins
could be heard in the background, yelling at her eager husband for taking too
much food.
Sky came up
behind Syd and pressed a kiss to her cheek. “Is the food ready yet?”
“Mostly,” she
wrinkled her nose. “You’re all sweaty.”
Sky merely
grinned, giving her another kiss as he accepted the plate she handed him and
moved to sit down next to Bridge. The pink ranger watched the scene for a
moment, smiling fondly at all the people around her. Jen and Wes were eating
and laughing with Taylor and Eric with her own parents listening in. Syd had to
smile at that. Her relationship with her mother had improved beyond words and
now they were slowly developing the close mother/daughter relationship that
most people shared. Commander Cruger and Kat were chatting nearby with Boom and
Jack about SPD weaponry and other things. Bridge and Z were flicking potato
salad at each other, and there, watching their friends throw food at each other
was Sky.
Sydney grabbed
a plate and moved to join their picnic lunch. She slid in next to Sky and felt
a small thrill of pleasure run through her body as his arm wrapped around her
waist. The two exchanged a kiss, before Syd picked up her hamburger and took a
bite. She gave a knowing smile as she saw Z flick a spoonful of salad dressing
at Bridge, which had successfully landed on the tip of his nose. Though she had
been pretty occupied with the events of the last few months, she had noticed
that the green and yellow rangers had gotten closer. Syd shook her head at her
friends and made a mental note to ask Z of her feelings for a certain green
ranger when she had the chance. Their flirting was just too obvious!
The pink
ranger grinned happily. What started out as a pink surprise had escalated into
a nightmare, but the outcome had been everything she had ever dreamed of
having. She had wonderful family, awesome friends, and the love of her life was
by her side.
Syd looked
around the table once more, listening to the happy chatter all around her.
This was how
it was supposed to be.
Well, that’s
it. It’s finally over!
