Prologue

Kendall clutched her hands tighter around her steaming mug of coffee. Stretching out her legs she dug deeper under the blanket tucked in tight enough to keep her on the couch. She didn't want to move or do anything that would remind her of the Dino Bite Café or Heckyl or…or…

Stop it, Kendall. She shook her head as thoughts of Heckyl's piercing blue eyes and smirk entered her head. More than that, the way he called her 'Pretty Lady', the way he had saved her, the way he had held her…Again Kendall had to mentally yell at herself to stop it. It was so wrong. He was the one they had been fighting against for so long, the one who tried to destroy her and her friends.

The one who had lied to her.

Closing her eyes, Kendall tilted her head back and rested it on the pillow that gently rested on the arm of her couch. She had never been one who stuck her head in the sand when setbacks happened, she worked harder. The first time she allowed herself to open up, to be vulnerable, to think that she could find someone special it had blown up in her face once more.

Sucking in a deep breath, Kendall made a promise to herself then and there.

She was going to ignore Heckyl and everything that happened. Ignore it to focus on what was more important. The missing energems and the team becoming as strong as they could together. To save the world. That was the most important thing.

Not her non-existent love life. She wasn't going to make that mistake again.

Heckyl tugged on the chain that held his pocket watch and cradled it in his hand. He took a breath and steeled himself, as he always did right before, and popped it open with his thumb. Then he sighed in relief.

Nothing.

There was still nothing there.

Snide was still gone and he was still Heckyl. He was still himself. If he even knew what it was like to be himself. He had been a part of Snide and Snide a part of himself for so long he wasn't sure he knew who he was anymore. There were no memories of his childhood, nothing happy, nothing but the darkness and destruction he created when taken over by his other half. Now he was full, the evil darkness was gone, and he could sleep easily.

Except for that one big thing. Kendall and the others. How they were power rangers, how he was the only one that knew their secret. As Heckyl was healing he went back to the Dino Bite Café to explain to the other rangers what was going on, to tell them everything he had told Kendall but they didn't give him the chance. He tried to apologize and they stonewalled him. They yelled at him, reminded him of everything he had done against them.

That was okay, he expected it. Koda had tried to talk to him a little but he was quickly rebuffed by his teammates and he simply looked at him and at the ground whenever they were near each other. Kendall had regarded him coldly, saying he had to leave the café and stop coming back. Then he reminded her he was the only one who knew their secret and could keep the café open as well as make excuses if any of them had to leave to protect the city.

Kendall stared at him for a long time before letting out a low sigh and uttering, "Fine." Then she stood up straight and looked him in the eye. "But don't expect any favors around here. You're here to work, we're not thanking you for what you've done."

"I understand," Heckyl replied.

The words 'Pretty Lady' stuck on his lips and he almost said them. But the way she swiftly turned away and went back to her office warned him it was a bad idea.

Now he sat in a nearby bookstore, waiting to go to his shift, wondering how long his life would continue to resemble normality. Snide wasn't someone who let things go so easily and this betrayal…being able to split apart and work on his own terms….Snide was going to get revenge in some way. Deep in his bones he could feel it.

He just needed to convince the others in enough time to help them.

And, maybe, convince Kendall he wasn't as bad as she thought.

A/N: So I have this planned as Heckyl/Kendall story but I'm sliiiightly leaning towards a Chase/Kendall/Heckyl thing as well. We'll see what happens. Sorry for the wait on the sequel, but I hope you guys are excited for it.
