Hi. Glad to know that everyone is enjoying the fanfic. I kind of reviewed my own story, weird I know, which will answer Tanzettigirl's reviews. But hi to asdeed & a MAJOR thank you to Rachel for reading. And thanks for reviewing to Ghostwriter & Spyridon. Now on with the fluff! Which I don't own since I don't own Power Rangers.
11: Power
As he lay in bed that night, Billy Cranston still couldn't believe it. He, a geeky and physically awkward fourteen-year-old, was now a super hero. A Power Ranger, to be precise. And the technology in the Power Chamber was mind-blowing, especially that fully-automated droid Alpha. He couldn't wait to investigate it.
When he had transformed from regular old Billy Cranston into the Blue Power Ranger, there had been this incredible surge of energy, of power inside him. He felt like he could do anything when morphed. And maybe he could.
What was even better was that his four closest friends were the other Power Rangers. Jason was Red, Trini was Yellow, Zack was Black (those latter two might get uncomfortable if Trini and Zack thought about it long enough), and Kimberly was Pink. Billy let out a contented sigh. In her sleek pink and white uniform Kimberly was gorgeous, even when – no, especially when she was fighting evil. And since they were both super heroes he had a feeling he'd be spending a lot of time with her as well as the others soon. And he couldn't be happier about that.
But how would they stay in touch and alert the others to monster attacks? Last time Billy checked, none of them were telepathic. Maybe he could design some sort of walkie-talkies which would enable them to communicate. Yeah… communicators. Rolling out of bed, Billy tugged on a blue windbreaker before heading down into the garage, which served as his lab. He might not be much of a fighter even when morphed, but he'll help his new team in any way he could.
Snuggled under her blanket, Kimberly was smiling happily. Becoming a super hero and saving the world hadn't been on her list of things to do today but she was glad she had. Besides the whole Earth-will-live-for-another-day thing.
When she 'morphed' into the Pink Power Ranger, she felt different. Older, stronger, braver. Tomorrow she'd have to ask the others if it was similar for them. Especially Billy. When he morphed he went from adorably awkward to what Zordon had described him as- patient and wise. And cute. That one Kimberly added mentally. But even if the giant magic head thing (what exactly was Zordon anyway?) had been right about Billy, she wasn't sure if she was graceful and smart. Graceful, maybe. Smart? Billy was the smart one, Jason was the fearless leader, Zack was the comedy relief, Trini was the nurturer, so what was she? Her smile faltered for a moment, then returned.
She might not know now, but she figured she'd find out soon enough. Besides, if being a super hero meant spending a lot of extra time with Billy without excuse, she'd take it.
