Wow the support for this fic. has been really good. I hope you're all still enjoying it!!

Two days after the incident Bridge was going stir crazy. Kat had finally stopped sedating him and had informed him that he was allowed no visitors, barring her and the Commander. He sighed. It was the same old story. Before he'd had no friends to visit him and now he'd finally made some, they weren't allowed. But maybe, he thought, it wasn't that they weren't allowed to visit him, it was an excuse because they didn't want to. Maybe they were fed up of him and his rambling. Maybe they weren't really his friends at all. After all, they hadn't believed him about his dreams, or his mind reading. Not until it was undeniable. Not until it was too late. And weren't friends always meant to believe you?

He needed to get out. He stood up and walked across the room to the door and tried it. Locked. He strode over to the windows and looked out. The med-deck was empty and dark. Great. So they'd locked him up and left him.

He'd never been great at hand to hand combat. Or gymnastics. And he wasn't strong. He sometimes suspected that the only reason he was a ranger was because of his powers. And this proved it. As soon as his powers went hinky, he was binned, suddenly he was filled with a hated so strong he could barely control it. He looked around for the source of the feeling before he realised it was his own.

"Screw them," he thought viciously "if they don't need me, I don't need them"

Kat walked into the med-deck. She was worried about Bridge. She had no idea how to test his powers, or for that matter, preventing him from relapsing. She couldn't keep him locked up in here forever. She decided to talk to him about it. He was, after all, a genius and knew his powers better than anyone.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out the key card she found there, leaning forward to unlock the door. She felt bad about locking him in, but it was the only way she could make sure he would stay put. When she swung open the door , she saw him sitting on very top of his bed with his legs crossed. He was staring into space, frowning slightly, and seemingly oblivious to her presencce.

"Bridge?" she said.

His head snapped towards her. Something was wrong. His eyes had a steely quality she'd never seen before, and it scared her.

"What?" he snapped, sounding so unlike himself.

"We need to start testing your powers, but I'm not sure how. Any ideas?" Kat did her best to keep her voice steady.

"My powers." Bridge repeated slowly. " Is that all you care about? My stupid powers?"

"No, Bridge, of course not. But it's your powers that are hurting you right now, so that's what we need to focus on."

"Whatever."

Kat stared at him for a moment before leaving the room and starting strait for Crugar's office.

She entered without knocking, something that would result in expulsion from the base for anyone other than herself. Crugar raised his gaze to meet hers.

"Bridge" he said.

"He's not himself. I don't know what to do."

"What you're doing now is fine. It's what's best for him. And this happens every time something goes wrong with his powers. He'll snap out of it eventually, you know"

"But I'm not sure how to fix his powers this time. I don't even know how to test them."

"Well he's always had trouble reading Sky. Get him to try and you'll know where his powers are."

NP

Sky agreed to the proposal in a split second. He'd do anything to help a team-mate, especially Bridge. Getting Bridge to agree was slightly trickier. He had become secluded, talking only when spoken to, and wore a permanent frown.

"Just try"

"No"

"Please, Bridge"

"No, Kat"

"Just this one test and we'll leave you alone, okay? Just this one"

Bridge cocked his head to the side weighing up the deal.

"Fine." he replied.
