AN: This was formerly known as SPD Rewritten. I did not like the direction the other one was taking so I rewrote it and now this story leads into six other stories. I hope you like the new version for those who read the other one. I know this first chapter is a little confusing but just stick with me please. Also this story is not too original, it just has some twists and turns. This is just the Prologue... hopefully the other chapters will be longer and I am almost done with the first chapter. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Enjoy!

Night time fell over New Tech City quickly. One of the night guards was locking the doors to the main entrance when he noticed a person in a black cloak approach the foutain, carrying a package. She put the package on the rim of the fountain, and fiddled with whatever was in there. The person, a young woman the guard realized, turned away to leave. The guard pushed the silent alarm button; praying Commander Cruger was still up. Then he quickly unlocked the door; pushing it open he yelled,

"S.P.D. freeze!" The woman paused, then after taking a glance at the object she left, the woman ran into the nearest alleyway. The guard ran as fast as he could but when he entered the alleyway all he saw was a purple shimmering light. Running back to the entrance he saw Commander Cruger's familiar silhouette in the doorway flanked by several other figures.

"Commander Cruger," the guard called stopping in front of the Commander," the suspect disappeared into thin air after leaving that object," he finished pointing to the object on the rim of the fountain. At the Commander's signal the outside lights were turned on to full power and all but one of the Commander's companions left to check the safety of the bundle.

"The person disappeared into thin air?" Cruger's gruff voice questioned. The guard nodded in response, blinking the bright lights out.

"All that I saw were these floating purple shimmering lights."

"Show me," A quite but commanding voice belonging to Dr. Katherine Manx ordered.

"Ah… Commander? You might wanna take a look at this," A voice from the direction of the bundle called. The trio rushed over to the bundle. With the light the guard could clearly see what it was. It was a large wicker basket with a few blankets carefully placed inside. The man that called them over gently moved the top blanket aside revealing a small baby with large chocolate eyes. Cruger stared at the basket for a minute before picking it up.

"Guard show Dr. Manx what you saw. Everyone else go back to bed or whatever it was you where doing. Dr. Manx when you are finished I would like to see you in the Command Center," Cruger turned to leave not even waiting for the "yes sirs" that usually followed his orders. Quickly the guard took Dr. Manx to the alley where he saw the lights. The purple lights were still there but they were much darker, a purple-black and they were getting darker. Dr. Manx took one look at the fading lights and nodded.

"I know what this is," Dr. Manx muttered, "Thanks you should probably return to work." Turning quickly she power walked back to the entrance.

"This is very odd," Kat thought as she practically ran to the Command Center. When she got to the Command Center she was greeted with a scene that shocked her and calmed her racing mind. Cruger was sitting on one of the stools around the center console. Sitting in Cruger's lap was the little baby; she was mesmerized by the flashing lights. On the floor was the basket that they found the little baby, with a small slip of paper visible. Kat walked over to the basket and picked up the piece of paper. In scrawling script it read,

"The purple lights the guard saw were the remains of some sort of portal that has already begun to close… Why, Doggie? Why would someone leave baby at S.P.D? Why not take her to an orphanage?" Kat asked placing her hands on her hips. Giggling the little girl leaned forward to press a button on the console. Sighing Cruger turned in the chair so the little girl couldn't push anything. Realizing that there was nothing in front of her she leaned back against Cruger blinking heavily.

"Kat... this isn't a normal little girl... read the note with her." There was... something in his voice that made her pause. She glanced at the note beside the basket. Eyeing Cruger she slowly bent over to pick it up. Kat's eyes glanced over the note; she looked up at Cruger questions in her eyes, then she reread the note.

"Kassandra-Marie... it is going to be hard to remember to call her that when she gets older..." Kat said with a sad smile on her face. She looked at Cruger. He looked as if his mind was a million miles away. With a sigh he looked down at the child, in a quite voice he said,

"It's so good to have you back..."
