Andros' Daughter

Disclaimer: Don't own the Power Rangers. Just Eris and her friends!

Summary: It's seventeen years after the Countdown to Destruction and the rangers get together for a reunion and they bring their families. Eris Morana Yanisin is Andros and Ashley's first born child. And their daughter. Very slight Ashley bashing, more Andros bashing. R&R for me please!

AN: I cried while I wrote this chapter. Literally. Tears were rolling down my cheeks it was so sad.

Shout outs

Phantom Rogue: My first reviewer for this story! I feel so special! LOL! Thanks, I thought it would be an interesting start. I feel bad for her because of the name they chose for her. It's horrible! The bashing will definitely be coming from Eris AKA Elektra's point of view. I think so, but then again, there's Rory Gilmore who doesn't hate her mom. Anyway, Andros really does deserve it I mean girls kick total but! I mean, look at all the female rangers! Plus she's his daughter! I mean, come on, you have to support your kids no matter what right? Here's the next chapter!

Anyabar1987: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it lots! You'll just have to wait and see what Andros does to Elektra. ;) Here's the next chapter!

Titanium Ranger: I don't know... he's disappointing isn't he? He is a jerk. Andros! Stop being a jerk! I'm glad you like her! Thanks, I was a little worried about people not liking it. Here's the next chapter! Soon enough for you? LOL!

Last time

Torin grinned as rounded out the group. They were met with a roar of applause. Only one made his way through the crowd, not cheering. That one, was Andros.

Now...

Chapter Two- Confrontations

It had been a little over a month since Eris, Faolan, Cami, Nic, Violca, and Torin had become Space Rangers. Everything was quiet on KO-35 when Eris' parents, Andros and Ashley, and Cami's parents, Karone and Zhane, sprang a surprise on the two of them.

Karone said, grinning as she looked at the two teenagers sitting before her. "We've got a surprise for you."

Eris was wary of surprises. She asked, skeptical. "What is it?"

"We're going to Earth for a Ranger Reunion!"

Cami grinned. "Yes! That is so cool! We get to see Aunt Cassie, Uncle TJ, and Uncle Carlos don't we?"

Zhane grinned at his daughter. "That we do, sweeting. That we do."

Cami turned to her cousin and leader. "Isn't this great?!"

Eris nodded, plastering a fake smile to her face. "Yeah, great!" In her head, she thought-spoke to Cami. Great! More people for Dad to bad mouth me to.

He won't do that! He's proud of you! Cami thought back.

We are talking about the same guy right? Andros who practically named me strife?! Eris thought back to her cousin.

"When do we go?" Cami asked, grinning at her parents.

Karone said, grinning at her daughter and her niece. "Well, we didn't want to leave your teammates out of this so, if it's ok with you Elektra, we're taking the Megaship Mark III and we're leaving as soon as it's ready."

Eris replied, nodding while smiling softly at her aunt. "I don't mind. I'll go get it prepared." Then Eris got up and left the house as her father walked into the living room.

Karone sighed and Cami said, leaning back in her seat. "You don't get it, Uncle Andros."

Andros asked, looking from his sister to his niece. "What don't I get?"

Karone replied, sitting next to her daughter. "Elektra is just like you."

Andros was taken aback by the statement his sister just made. "What are you talking about?"

Cami sighed and said, looking at Uncle Andros and Aunt Ashley as she had just walked into the room. "When Elektra and I were little, at night we would always find our star. Our star was the brightest one in sky and when we were little, she always, always had a sparkle in her eye that reminded me of our star." She looked at her mother. "What is that nursery rhyme you used to tell us? When you see a sparkle in their eye..."

Karone sighed softly and said, swallowing past the lump in her throat. "When you see a sparkle in their eye, you know your brightest star is shining. When you see that sparkle die, you know it just went out." Karone didn't realize until that moment how much that Karovan nursery rhyme fit her niece. She looked at her brother and said, blinking back tears. "Elektra was the happiest child alive, always shining as bright as a star in the night sky until she realized how little you and Ashley loved her. I don't know if she knows it, but a part of herself died that day. She's never been the same."

Cami asked, looking at her uncle with tears shining in her blue eyes. "Why don't you love her? Whenever you dropped her off at my house she'd always call to you 'I love you, Daddy', but you never responded. Then she'd turn to me and tell me that she wanted to be just like you, because," A sob broke through Cami's lips. "Because you're her hero." Cami ran from the house and Karone went after her.

Andros turned to Zhane and asked, his eyes emotionless. "Is that true?"

Zhane nodded. "I'd hear her say it to Cami every time she came to our house and every time, it broke my heart because I knew my best friend didn't love his daughter simply because she was born first." Zhane paused, trying to keep his anger in check. "There were times when I never wanted to bring her home because I knew she wouldn't be welcomed back with open arms. Every time I returned her here, I'd ask the Gods to show her some compassion, but you didn't.

"You weren't there for her first crawl. I was. You weren't there for her first steps. I was. You weren't there for her first words. I was. You weren't there for her first day of school. I was. You weren't there for her first play. I was. You weren't there for her first martial arts competition. I was and you know what she asked me?" Andros and Ashley looked at Zhane. "She asked me 'why aren't Mom and Dad here yet? I go on in a second.' I told her that something had just come up and you two were sorry you couldn't make it and that's when the light in her eye went out. She realized at that moment, that through her entire life, you two weren't there for her. It was Karone and I who were there for her and it broke my heart to see your daughter hurt that way. Do you remember our conversation when Ashley first went into labor?" Andros shook his head and Zhane replied, glaring at his best friend. "Let me refresh your memory."

Flashback

"Zhane, what if I turn out like my father?"

Zhane shook his head and replied, grinning. "Don't worry Andros. You're gonna make a great dad! When your dad wasn't there for you, mine was. He was always cheering us on, remember?"

Andros smiled. "You're right. I'll be there for my child where my father wasn't there for me."

End Flashback

Andros felt a twinge of guilt. "That's when I thought it would be a-"

Zhane exploded. "DON'T YOU DARE SAY WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A BOY!" Zhane poked Andros hard in the chest. "You said you didn't give a damn if it was a boy or a girl as long as they were born healthy. You lied. You gave a damn when Ele-"

It was Andros' turn to explode. "STOP CALLING HER ELEKTRA! HER NAME IS ERIS!"

Zhane shook his head. "God, I don't even know who you are any more. My best friend wouldn't have given a damn about his child's gender as long as they were healthy. My best friend wouldn't have become the very thing he despises most. My best friend would have been there for all his child's firsts. My best friend wouldn't have become his father. If you see him, my best friend, tell him I'm looking for him." With that, Zhane walked out.

Eris was on the Megaship, checking the fuel cells in the engine room when her best friends found her. Cami asked, hugging her cousin. "You ok?"

Eris looked at her cousin. "Yeah. I'm fine. Why?"

Cami looked for the sparkle in her cousin's eye, their star, but never found it. Cami sighed and replied, hugging her cousin. "Because I worry about you."

Elektra hugged her cousin back and said, kissing her on the cheek. "Thank you, but I'm fine. We're almost ready for take off. You might want to tell Mother, Father, Uncle Zhane, and Aunt Karone." Cami nodded and went to send the message.

Ten minutes later, the Megaship was lifting off with its passengers secure. Eris said as her family walked in with her teammates. "DECA."

DECA, the ships computer, turned her red eye to her. "Yes Elektra?"

Eris replied as her teammates took their seats. "Set a course for Earth."

"Setting a course for Earth, now."

Eris pushed the accelerators forward. "Hyper rush nine, DECA."

"Hyper rush Nine initiated."

Faolan asked, looking up from his controls. "DECA, ETA?"

"Eight hours, fifty-six minutes, and thirty-four seconds." Eris nodded and their long voyage to Earth began.

AN: Sad chapter, I know, but please? Drop me a review? I might just give up chapter three if you do... ;)
