Thank you for your OC my loyal friend, here is your OC Jessica.

"I'm starting to like the feminine touch on this new team." Ash mused as she walked once again towards the football field.

"I honestly wasn't thinking about that when I was analyzing files." RZ informed the red-headed Guardian.

"I know, it's just cool to think about." Ash continued to muse as she kept a steady pace towards the field. "Tell me about Jessica Riverstone please." Ash requested of her leader. "This time I do mean personally, I'd like to know about her before I engage in conversation." Ash requested again.

"Jessica is age 12, she's originally from Pittsburgh." RZ paused to let Ash take mental notes. "She's a die hard Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, and she is a pretty good student." RZ continued to lecture.

"Tell me, what about her football profile do I need to know?" Ash asked her leader.

"She plays Wide Receiver for the Aces, a new team in the league." RZ said, and that earned a head nod from Ash.

"Thanks RZ, I'm going radio silent." Ash said as she turned off the communication app, as she arrived at the football field, and quickly identified the recruit, and needless to say it was easier than expected.

It wasn't just due to Ash seeing the profile picture of Jessica's file, and Ash being able to identify. For Jessica was a slightly tanned white girl with brown hair. She also wore a red shirt, black skirt and pewter legging as she ran laps around the football field, and it seemed she was making good progress.

But what made it easy for Ash to identify her was the fact that she was the only one on the football field, and she looked exactly like her profile picture.

Ash waited till she was close to where she stood outside the track on the outside of the field, and joined in when Jessica was close, and stepped into her path.

"Your in my way!" Jessica yelled in a small voice as she tried to stop, but plowed into Ash, and they both fell in a tumbled heap.

"Sorry about that." Ash groaned as she got to her feet, and offered a hand to Jessica. "Was trying to get your attention." Ash said as Jessica took her hand, and Ash helped the brown haired girl to her feet.

"You got it to say the least." Jessica said in a small almost squeaky voice.

"Once again, I'm sorry." Ash said with an embossed tone and look on her face.

"Mistakes happen." Jessica said simply as she took a seat on the track, Ash following suit.

"It seems mistakes always happen on the football field, I'd know." Ash joked, and that earned not a laugh, but instead a look from Jessica.

"You always running into people on the track?" she joked.

"Nah, I've always got the entire team to protect me when I'm on the field." Ash joked right back, and that earned a look from Jessica.

"You a kicker?" she asked the red headed girl.

"Yep, starting kicker for the Canton Bulldogs." Ash said proudly, and that earned a look from Jessica.

"I'm a wide receiver myself, for the–" she was cut off by Ash.

"The Aces right, from across town?" Ash asked the girl she intended to recruit.

"How do you know that?" Jessica asked in a suspicious tone, as she adjusted a Tampa Bay Buccaneers dog-tag around her neck, which Ash noticed.

"I keep up to date on most girl players around the youth league, there aren't that many of us after all." Ash said with a sad smile, and that earned a look from Jessica.

"That's sadly true, well at least we can make a dent in a mostly male dominated sport. Even if it's just youth after all." Jessica joked, and that earned a laugh from Ash.

"I'm friends with Layla Willis, and Amara Vega after all. They are two great girls who play football." Ash said, and that earned a competitive look from Jessica.

"Where do I rank?" she asked innocently.

"I've only read about you in the paper, I've sadly never seen you play." Ash admitted, and Jessica seemed satisfied with that answer.

"I've never seen you play either, by the way, who are you?" Jessica asked.

"Where are my manners, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Ashley 'Ash' Reynolds." Ash introduced herself.

"You already know my name, so there is no need to introduce myself." Jessica said with a smile.

"Let's change the subject, what's your favorite team?" Ash asked her friend.

"Tampa Bay Buccaneers." Jessica said as she showed Ash the dog-tag wrapped around her neck.

"Don't see many Buccaneers fans in Canton." Ash said, and that once again earned a competitive look from Jessica.

"Why is that?" she asked.

"Usually it's the Bengals or the Browns who are the favorite NFL teams around here. The Buccaneers are most popular in Florida." Ash said, and that earned an understanding look from Jessica.

"On another note, you a fans of the Guardians, Jessica?" Ash asked.

"Oh yea, them and the Rusherz, I love them both." Jessica said in an excited tone, and needless to say, that was a good recruitment start.

"Might I ask why?" Ash asked innocently.

"I'll give you the short version." Jessica said in a giddy tone at the memory. "Once I met the Buccaneers Rusher when I was little, he cheered me up when I was really sad, since them I've had a love for the Rusherz, and then the Guardians." Jessica finished her story, and that earned a smile from Ash.

"What if I could arrange a meeting between you and the Guardians?" Ash asked in an anxious tone.

"That would be awesome, but how could you do that?" Jessica asked.

"Enter the Rush Zone!" Ash shouted after she had made sure they where alone, and once armored up, Jessica sat there with a giddy smile on her face.

"It seems I've been talking with a Guardian this whole team." Jessica said in a squeaky, yet giddy tone.

"How'd you like to meet several others?" Ash asked as she powered down, as Jessica jumped up instantly.

"Lead the way." she said simply, as they left the football field.


"Welcome to the Hall Of Knowledge Jessica Riverstone." RZ greeted the brown haired girl as she and Ash entered the HOK.

"You must be RZ, Ash has told me about you." Jessica said to her new leader.

"I've been watching you for awhile, and it is time for you to join our ranks." RZ said as Ash walked up to a device in the middle of the room, and pulled an NFL-R out of a hidden compartment, and walked up to Jessica, handed it to her, and she slipped it unto her left wrist.

"You know what to do?" Ash asked the rookie Guardian.

"Enter the Rush Zone!" Jessica shouted in response as her armor morphed around her, and she stood there in red armor with a black trim, and she looked out at her leader from behind a pewter visor, her call-sign WR14 on the side of her armored helmet.

"Nice color." Ash complimented, and that earned a smile from Jessica.

"When will I be ready for action?" Jessica asked RZ.

"After you've completed the training simulations with your fellow Guardians." RZ said, as with a head nod, Ash lead Jessica to the simulation room.

Only two left to go, then the story will get really interesting, and dark.
