Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers or any of the characters. I only own Tristan, Delilah, and JJ. Any of the storyline that seems familiar, I most likely do not own.

AN: Sorry that it's taken me forever to get on a "schedule" type thing. I just either don't have the time, or I feel too depressed to do anything. Summer break is coming up and my goal is to finish JJ's story by the beginning of next school year.

JJ POV

I was in the Ranger room leaning against the wall. I was bored. Ziggy walked in and held up a finger to his lips. I raised my eyebrow. What was he up to? He picked up a blaster that Dr. K had been working on and started playing with it. I grinned as I watched him. He was so getting in trouble.

"Please don't touch that." Dr K asked.

Ziggy turned around as she stood up. I didn't know that she was there either to be honest. She's shorter than I am and that's saying something.

"It's a sonar sound wave blasting cannon. And it's untested."

I laughed as he turned and put the thing back on its stand. He playfully glared at me as a laughed. I shrugged, still smiling.

"It is critical that I use this training time to assess your ability and evaluate what, if any, use you can be to Project Ranger as Operator Series Green."

He walked up to her desk and I watched from the sideline.

"I wouldn't be laughing because you're next." K announced.

I rolled my eyes and huffed.

"Why are you staring at me?" K turned back to Ziggy.

"I thought you'd be a dude." he admitted.

I snorted.

"Real smooth Ziggy, real smooth." I teased.

"Excuse me?" K asked.

"Well, you know, the K screen and the electronic voice. I would've laid odds that you were a dude." he continued.

"Sorry to disappoint you."

I faceplamed. Good job Ziggy.

Ziggy morphed but didn't have his helmet on.

"Series Green Suit allows the operator to use a biofield as a gateway to instantaneously transport from one place to another." K explained.

So. Many. Big. Words.

"Sure. No problem. Should we, uh, give it a shot? I mean, what's the worst that can happen right?" Ziggy questioned.

I stayed by the cover of the door. This might not end well... I don't really want to be in the line of fire when something drastic happens.

"You could beam yourself directly into a solid wall." K corrected.

"If you put it that way." I murmured.

"Oh. Hadn't thought of that." Ziggy looked a bit nervous now.

"Or directly into the center of the Earth's molten magma core." K continued.

"Really?"

"Or thousands of feet below the deepest ocean."

"Could you stop talking?"

"You asked me for a list of worst case teleportation scenarios."

"I know, but I didn't actually want to hear them."

"Rhetorical question Doc." I chipped in.

She looked over at me and I raised my hands in defense.

Ziggy put his helmet on and I prepared myself for his attempt.

"Ok then, ready, set, and go!"

He pressed the button. His boots were teleported to the other side of the room.

"Hey, uh. Something feels different. I think it worked!" he announced.

"Ziggy, look down." I sighed.

He had teleported all of his clothes, except his boxers, but not himself.

"Oh I've seen enough. I'm willing to lay odds that this isn't the first test you've failed." K assumed.

I looked at him sympathetically. Ziggy sighed and put his clothes back on.

As he was putting on his jacket, he started to follow K.

"Look, I know I probably wasn't the first choice for green Ranger but..."

"You weren't chosen at all!" K corrected.

"Yeah but what I lack in strength, size, and speed,"

"Coordination, reflexes, judgement, instincts, leadership, common sense,"

"I more than make up for it with heart! Look, if you just got to know me."

"I don't want to get to know you."

I had begun following them out of the room.

"Harsh much?" I muttered.

"Why not? I'm a person, turns out you're a person, give me one good reason why the two of us can't be friends!" he insisted.

"I don't like you." K replied.

"Wow really?" I was flabbergasted.

She doesn't even know any of us.

"Yes, really." K replied.

"You don't know any of us! You can't eve-"

I was cut off by the alarm. I growled under my breath. Really? Now?

"Alright, what's on the menu for today good doctor?" Flynn asked, looking up at the screen. I snickered.

Sliding up behind Ziggy, I gave him a quick hug and whispered, "Ignore her. I like you."

He gave me a small smile and we turned our attention back to them.

"I'm sorry I'm used to you being up there." Flynn apologized.

"Did you think she was a dude? Who else thought she was a dude? Right? Come on." Ziggy announced.

Flynn sighed and somewhat nodded his head.

"Some kind of magnetic disturbance." K concluded.

"Yeah we have the infiltration it's a Venjix attack bot." Scott answered.

Tristan kind of lingered as we watched the screen. I really should talk to him...

"It's storming the city's central computer banks." Summer added.

We left towards the city. I jumped into the back of Flynn's jeep. I didn't have a race car or anything remotely like it to try and fix up. So I was stuck in backseats and shotguns. We got to the place the bot was attacking morphed.

"I'm jamming any transmission its sending out back to Venjix. But that thing cannot be aloud to escape the city with those shield codes. You will need to use series green's teleportation ability to bypass its magnetic field." K informed.

"Understood Doc. We're on it." Scott confirmed, "Ziggy we need you to teleport behind that thing and take it out."

I gulped. Oh no.

Dillon put his hand on Ziggy's shoulder, "Ziggy, you up for this?"

"Absolutely. Let's do this!"

Please be careful Ziggy. Please.

"Good. Lets move!" Scott commanded.

I reluctantly followed as we left Ziggy there to do the teleportation. We attempted use of the metro blasters but it used its magnetic field to pull us in towards it.

"Ziggy! Teleport now!" Scott insisted.

Ah shit. Come on Ziggy. You can do it.

Ziggy disappeared. We switched to the nitro swords and it pulled us into it but we managed to damage it. It ran off.

"Rangers. Report!" K commanded.

Not good.

"We're fine Doc K. But the Venjix attack bot-" Scott began.

"The giant magnet ran away." Flynn rushed, "Ah... I cannot believe I just said that out loud."

"Guys, we're also missing a Ranger. Where's Ziggy?" Summer asked.

-RPM-

We found out that Ziggy had somehow managed to teleport himself into the city's bank vault. I was standing in the cell they were holding him in with Dillon.

"I made a mistake ok? I couldn't teleport back into that vault if I tried. I'm not a criminal... I'm just, incompetent." Ziggy explained.

"Doctor K, do you vouch for this?" Colonel Truman asked.

"I can definitely vouch for the incompetent part, but as for a criminal, I can't say." Dr. K informed.

"I can. We checked around. When Fresno Bob came to set up his Scorpion Cartel in Corinth, you came with him. Didn't you Ziggy?"

Ziggy opened his mouth but didn't say anything. I straightened. I couldn't believe it. The man who tried to kidnap me as a child, him and his Cartel, he was apart of it? I walked out of the cell. I was done. There was no way I was listening to this. I was tortured by him. I have scars down my back from knives and cigarette burns on my stomach from that damn Cartel. I ran out of the prison and started walking. I didn't care where I was going. I just needed to leave. After awhile, I looked up to see where I was. Ah shit. I was on the Cartel's side of town. Dammit. I needed to get out of here.

"Guys come in! Sorry, but we've got more bad news." Flynn came over the comm.

I flipped my morpher open to reply, "On my way."

I started running to where Scott and Flynn were. But I stopped. There were people in my way. Cartel members. Scorpion Cartel members.

"Fucking fantastic. Could this get any worse?" I muttered.

"Well, well. Look who we have here." that voice. His voice.

"I really need to stop jinxing myself." I groaned. I turned around, "Bob, well its been awhile hasn't it?"

I was nervous even though I didn't show it. There was a great chance that I wasn't going to just walk away.

"JJ, its definitely been awhile. How've you been?" he questioned.

I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder. I flipped them on instinct. Suddenly there were Cartel members everywhere. Great.

-RPM-

I had been tied to a pole for at least an hour. They took my morpher and jacket from me. My scars were visible. All of them. They had already threatened me with a knife. But me and my fat mouth. I got slapped and my face burns. Thankfully, that's all they've done. One of the Cartels walked into the room I was in.

"Let's go." he mumbled.

"Where are we going? On an adventure?" I sarcastically asked as he hoisted me up. My hands were still tied behind my back.

"Watch your mouth or you'll be in trouble."

I rolled my eyes. I still didn't have my jacket on. I was annoyed and uncomfortable. All of my scars were visible. The old ones, the fresh ones. If I could reach into my back pocket, I could grab the knife that I had. They were idiots and took only my morpher and jacket. The knife was in my boot but I somehow managed to get it into my back pocket. I was pushed into a room. My breath caught in my throat. Ziggy. He was standing in the center of a ton of very angry Cartel members.

"There she is. Missing one of your teammates?" Bob chuckled.

"Let her go. She has nothing to do with this." Ziggy demanded.

"Oh not with this, but she's of use to me."

He came over and stroked my cheek. I had been attempting to cut the rope at this point in time.

"Go to hell." I spat.

My cheek still stung from being slapped. I wouldn't be surprised if it was bruised.

"You're going to be taught a lesson in manners when I'm done with him." Bob hissed.

I just met his steely gaze. I cut the ropes but felt someone grab my wrists.

"Not so fast." the guy behind me growled.

He pushed me into the circle with Ziggy. Ziggy steadied me and then we analyzed the "competition." We turned around after hearing a strange noise.

"Dr. K?" Ziggy questioned as she took off her hood.

She raised her sonar cannon thing and Ziggy and I jumped over the bar. My jacket was on the floor. But I'm pretty sure Bob had my morpher. I slipped on my jacket as Ziggy and I hid behind the counter thing.

"I want them." I stood up with Ziggy when Dr. K said that.

Ziggy and I hopped back over the counter. I walked up to Bob and held out my hand.

"I believe you have something that belongs to me." I smirked.

Bob grumbled as he handed me back my morpher. I walked back to Dr K and Ziggy and we left. K handed Ziggy his morpher and sent us to fight.

-RPM-

"Ranger black, this is Rangers Green and Purple Prepare your zord sequencing. We're on our way." Ziggy said over the comm as we ran to the battle.

We got into our zords. Mine was a purple fox. We attacked the magnet attack bot and saved the megazord. Ziggy's zord joined the megazord.

"You look good on us!" Summer complimented.

"Ah it throws off the primary color balance." Flynn complained.

I grinned.

"Is it just me, or do I rock?" Ziggy asked.

'It's just you.' I thought.

-RPM-

Ziggy and I were in the Ranger room. I was watching him as he turned on the circle thing he stood on.

"Come on Doc, admit it. We're friends." he pressed.

"You're just another piece of equipment to me Ranger Green." she mumbled.

"We're friends!" he insisted, "You and I are friends. Is that so bad?"

"I think so, yes. Now will you please concentrate on the teleportation exercise?"

"Ok, first of all, I just want to point out that you came outside, out of doors, to save JJ and I. Now that, means something."

Ziggy teleported himself and got stuck in the rafters. I put my hand over my mouth to stifle my laughter and hide my grin.

"We're in a dome. It doesn't count." K smirked.
