A/N: Okay everyone, I'm doing some chapter updates. So I hope that you guys like them. I want you guys to keep in mind that Olivia is the first alien that has powers and the rangers found out about it long after they found out about Sam. Most of the chapters of this story takes place after 'Sam' parts 1&2, 'Idol', 'Stakeout', 'Shadow' parts 1&2, and 'Abandoned'. The last chapter will be incorporated in with 'Endings' Part 2.
I sped back to the orphanage as quickly as possible, stopping to look over my shoulder every five seconds, trying to make sure that I wasn't being followed by them. I entered my room, I started packing my things and some food for the night. "Ok, let's see if I got everything that I need for the night. I've got food, sleeping bag, water bottle, change of clothes…what else do I need?" I muttered to myself and then I realized that there was a bag laying out on my desk.
I grabbed the bag that held my untested smoke bombs and packed them into the front pocket of my backpack. As everyone in the dorm had quickly fell asleep, I quietly snuck out of my bedroom and left. I started thinking that the most absolute place that no one would ever find me is the park.
"This is turning out to be one very bad week and it's not even half way over yet. How can I explain to them about what I can do? The rangers won't be able to understand that I can do something that other people can't. At least they don't have any powers like I do….I think." I said to myself, as I put my backpack over my shoulder.
It was around 11:30pm when I reached the park, I had double checked that I wasn't being followed again by any of the rangers and found a good spot to sleep near the playground. When I woke up early the next morning, I started thinking about going to SPD headquarters to confess about helping the rangers defeat the Krybots, but I was having starting to have second thoughts on how they would react to it and about what I can do.
Just before I started leaving the park to get back to the orphanage, I heard a female voice calling out behind me saying, "Hey kid! I need to talk to you." When I turned around to see who was talking to me, it was Z. "Whatever it is you think I did, I didn't do it. You need to have physical evidence whatsoever to prove that I did anything bad. What did I do exactly?" I said as I started to pack my things into my bags. "
I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to know about what happened the other day, that's all." She said calmly as she started slowly walking towards me.
"How do I know if I can trust you?" I asked her.
"You can. I'm just like you, kid." Z replied. I studied her for a moment and saw her eyes flashed something. Suddenly I felt my fear go through my entire body and as I was about to run from her, there she was again. "Cool, I didn't know that any of the rangers can do that or have powers." I said, standing there in awe, as I looked from one ranger to the other, trying to figure out which one is the original.
As I started trying to figure out which one was the original, she asked me about what I did to help them. "To be honest with you, I don't know what you're talking about, ma'am, but I do have to get going. Someone I know at the orphanage is expecting me to bed in my bed this morning and she has a very bad temper if I'm not there when she opens my door." I said nervously, trying to back away from her so that I could grab my duffel bag and leave.
She grabbed me tightly by the arm. Z practically dragged me all the way to SPD headquarters and as she continued to drag me, I tried to get out of her tight grip.
"Well, one thing for sure, I reckon that this is going to be a very productive and fascinating day for me. At least I can tell Kari about where I was today, in case I'm late for lunch later on. But then again, I'm always late for lunch." I muttered as we entered the base.
Z finally brought me into the large command center, where her squad, Commander Cruger, and two other people were. As we entered, I looked around the command center, thinking: This is my kind of thing. I could get use to this place. I would really love to meet the person that designed the technology here? After getting acquainted with my surroundings, I looked over to one of the people in the command center. As I was taking a quick glance, the woman looked very familiar to me, as though I could remember it from one of the dreams that I had as a little girl. Z decisively let of me and shoved me forward like I was some child's toy.
"Finally! I have had it when people treat me like this. I'm not some kind of Raggedy Ann doll that you can just throw around and I'm definitely not some action figure. I don't like to be manhandled like that." I said angrily.
As I straightened myself out, fixed my clothes and readjust my backpack, I turned to her and then said, "Is this how you really handle people like me when you bring them in off the streets for questioning? You can't treat me like I'm a criminal when I haven't done anything wrong."
When no one said anything and just looked at me, I decided to get smart with them. "You know as well as I do that I didn't even steal anything and no one has filed a missing person's report of me being a runaway or kidnapped child. You have no physical evidence whatsoever of me breaking any major laws or doing any petty thefts. So either let me go to where you found me or put me in confinement." I said.
She pushed me forward again and I stumbled. "I found her in the park, Commander. It looked like she was about to head off somewhere." Z replied. I couldn't help it but I had this scared look on my face and my entire body started to cower in fear. I had to think fast about how to get out of there.
"Look, I know what you're thinking and before you say anything about it, I'm really sorry for whatever it is that I actually did. Please, I beg you for the love of all things that are good in the world, don't call Kari at the orphanage. I'll be on kitchen duty for the rest of the year if she ever found out about what I did for the rangers. Plus I hate doing kitchen duty on a daily basis. Cleaning all those dishes and doing all the meals." I explained, staring out into the distance, remembering how bad I hated kitchen duty. Then I snapped back into reality.
"I'll do anything that you want me to if you let me go, I promise. I'll even swear to it on a stack of library books if I have too. If there's a fine, I'll even pay it. I'll even go for some community service if you want me to. But there are some notes that I forgot back at school that's in my locker for a huge test that I have today in my history class and I can't study for the test without them or else I'll get another demerit." I said as I stammered out the words.
"Young lady, you're not in trouble." said the sirian commander but I didn't hear his words.
