Power Rangers: Last Engage: Revelation
"Any idea who they could be?" Riley asked. Her twin brother shook his head as did Trini.
"If you two don't have any ideas then you can be sure as hell that I don't," Trini said. "I'm the new girl and there's no way I'd have an idea."
"They clearly knew us," Ryan said. "But they didn't seem to have any objection regarding fighting alongside us."
"That is at least a good thing," Riley said. "I've been trying to watch people's reaction to us and see if that could give us any clues, such as constantly staring at us. That would be a nice hint but no such luck."
"Oh and Sensei told me that we can use her garage as a make shift command center if we all need to meet up," Trini said. "It's one thing for us to meet with her unmorphed at school but if we're morphed and we need to regroup then it could be troublesome walking into her classroom."
"That's fine and all but it seems a bit ghetto for Power Rangers to make a base in our teacher's garage like we're some sort of kid band or something," Ryan said with a laugh.
"Well we are high school students," Riley said. "It's not like we have a lot of money to make our own high tech base. It's inconspicuous too." She then noticed Trini was looking past her and smiling. She wasn't paying attention to her comment about a base. She turned around to see a guy smiling back at Trini. His name was Richie. Ryan noticed this too and rolled his eyes.
"Don't fall for Richie," Ryan said. "He's a player."
"Says the guy that slept with our tour guide in Korea," Riley said.
"Hey, that wasn't my intention," Ryan shot back. "It just sorta happened. I was just going to flirt a little and then things went way farther than I planned."
"So that's what you did when you guys were just referring to 'things happened' over there?" Trini asked. There was a tone in her voice that Ryan didn't expect. It sounded like she was angry.
"As I said, it wasn't my intention," Ryan said. He wondered if she was ticked because she thought he took advantage of a girl.
"You slept with my captors!"
Ryan's eyes widened. It wasn't because he had slept with a girl, it was because he slept with a girl that Trini blamed for her capture.
"First of all, Yuri wasn't your captor," Ryan said. "And secondly, that's none of your business."
"Maybe not her personally but she was part of the regime that held me in their prison camp and murdered my friends," Trini said. Ryan was about to protest but Trini stood up. "I don't want to hear that she was following orders."
Ryan stood up too. "She was just following orders and it wasn't her that kidnapped you. Hell, she probably didn't even know about you. She was just a civilian so don't lump all North Koreans together when they all live in fear of their government."
"You don't know what fear is?" Trini said. She grabbed her tray of food and stormed off.
"What the fuck?" he asked himself. He looked to Riley.
"She blames all North Koreans for her imprisonment," Riley said.
"Yeah, I figured that part out," Ryan said.
"I can't say I blame her," Riley said.
"I'm not going to justify my actions," he said. "Why doesn't she go after A-Squad of SPD? They're the real kidnappers."
"I don't know," Riley said. "We don't know everything that went on that day and she hasn't talked about it. She just needs time I guess."
"I get that part but she doesn't need to jump my case about something like this."
"It probably shocked her more than anything but from her point of view, a fellow ranger, her teammate, slept with someone she considers the enemy."
The twins had noticed they had grabbed the attention of nearby students. They were all whispering amongst themselves, questioning their topic of discussion.
"Whatever," Ryan said as he grabbed his backpack and left, leaving Riley by herself. She really didn't know what to do in this situation. She looked over to see Trini already had company.
Richie didn't waste any time on that one.
Riley went back to her food just as someone sat down across from her. She looked up to see Evan, a friend she had known for years.
"Everything okay?" he asked.
Riley shrugged. "I think so. Just a minor disagreement."
"About what?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Riley smirked.
"Try me," Evan said.
"Nah, don't worry about it. It's just something between those two."
Evan slowly nodded. "Okay, if you change your mind then you can always come to me. I know you said it's between them but I know you get a bit unnerved when something is bothering your brother. A disagreement shouldn't disrupt a team like that."
Riley looked at him with questioning eyes. There was something behind that comment that made Evan very mysterious as if she didn't know him at all regardless of the years of friendship between them. She was about to chalk it up to him being on the football team but it seemed there was something more than that.
While other students went back to their own lunches and conversations, three sets of eyes in different parts of the cafeteria remained trained on Riley.
