SECRETS IN LIGHTPSEED 6
They all stared at Ryan and Carter repulsively, "Ryan! Carter! What are you doing?" Captain Mitchell shouted, "It's not what it looks like dad." Ryan began, they raised there eyebrows at him. "Ok so it is what it looks like." Then Carter added, "But we were going to tell you right Ryan?" Ryan nodded; his father turned away from them and looked at the rest of the team who had the same looks of disgust on there faces except for Joel who was still smiling. "What is so positive that you should be smiling? This is a very bad situation." Joel answered straight away, "Sorry sir I just don't think this is as bad as you make it out to be." The Captain turned back to the 'offenders' and said, "You're not to come to base or associate with any of us unless you are on a mission, and even then keep it to a minimal. I will not have you infecting the rest of the team, I am very disappointed in both of you." He then left with the other rangers, leaving Ryan and Carter standing there not believing what they had heard.
The nurse came out and saw Carter and Ryan standing there staring at an empty space, she walked over to them, faced Ryan and said, "Ryan? What, how, you can't be here, you should be dead on a hospital bed." Ryan just looked at Carter and so did the nurse obviously expecting an answer, he just said. "I took a class on it a couple of years ago." The nurse wasn't buying it, "We had experts trying to keep him alive and he was pronounced dead no longer than 10 minutes ago, so how could he be here? How can experts fail and you succeed?" Carter felt awkward he didn't want to give much away, "I guess I just had the right equipment." He said glancing at his wrist. The nurse brightened up, "Well maybe you could join our team, and we would love to have someone like you who could work miracles." This reminded Carter of how weak he felt after reviving Ryan and he still felt weak now, he had been standing way to long for his liking. "No I don't think that is a good idea but we need to get going, right Ryan?" Ryan suddenly realised what Carter was saying and he held Carter up as his legs began to shake under his weight.
Both Ryan and Carter were taken to the recovery ward, where they found that Ryan was fine, he had all his energy, no problems with his lung either. However Carter had no energy and his body was beginning to shut down. But they found that even though his body was instinctively shutting down, his mind and heart were holding on. They could easily heal Carter but what confused them was how he had used so much energy in so little time, the nurse had seen him only 10-20 minutes before they saw Carter standing with the revived Ryan. Carter of course refused to tell them anything, what could he say? 'Oh yes I revived Ryan using Red ranger power and so it used my energy.' It would sound bizarre and he would blow the secret. Ryan was lying in the hospital bed thinking of how much of a bigot his father was. When his morpher went off, he leapt out of bed, grabbed his morpher and turned to see Carter doing the same thing. "No Carter you're too weak." Carter stood his ground. "I can still fight." And they left to meet the others. One of the doctors come in and saw them leaving, "Where are you going? We have to run some tests. Get back here." They looked back, "We will be back we promise but there's something we have to do now." They didn't wait for a reply and they left.
After the fight the headed back to the hospital, it was a brutal fight but they had won in the end, but Carter was now running on even less energy and had to lean on Ryan for support. The doctors and nurses were waiting for their arrival as they got back into their beds. "Where were you?" one of them asked. "Out." Ryan replied. "Yes I know out but out where?" he asked getting annoyed. They were both at a loss for words and Carter really didn't have any thinking energy left. Everyone was silent until Carter spoke up in a quiet voice that you had to strain to hear, "We can't tell you, we're sorry but we can't tell anyone. It's a secret that no one else can know." The doctors and nurses wouldn't let the matter go still asking where they were. In the end Ryan and Carter looked at each other and nodded, they had to tell them the truth. They took a deep breath and said, "We're power rangers."
