(humming to Almighty - Kamen no Yakusoku as I look through my inbox) Okay, looks like I've got a new request from a user. Shoutout goes to BellaVaughan18 for the suggestion of a Dillon and OC romance. Speaking of Dillon, I really like the fact that Disney made him similar to Andros in a way: Both are human looking, both have sisters who were turned evil and later defected to the Rangers, both of them are quiet yet they're the type that their respective Yellow Rangers fell for, and both of them are at least the other Rangers' age. And no offense to the Dillon and Summer shippers, I could have seen Summer with Scott or Flynn more. (giggles nervously) That being said, I know there's those out there who may wish for Dillon as a human or a vampire, and I could see that. I may take a different route though... Y'know what? I'm just gonna cut the chitchat and get this started. (yeets the Disclaimers in)

Lorelei Clinton: British born, skilled detective, creative logician, and Ranger Operator Series Pink. Her emotions were as stilted as Dr. K's responses, yet she didn't hesitate to show a smirk and a chuckle at a good joke Ziggy pulled half the time. Her past was different in that her parents were researchers who had come to the city closest to Corinth and study the area to try and find supernatural creatures. She had joined them, fresh out of high school herself, because she had the same curiosity as them. But she had more of a reason to believe the claims were true. She herself had discovered that the claims were real when she saw a werewolf that night she had first walked around London at an early age, and now she was on the hunt for the supernatural people among herself and others.
She had reason to believe that her teammate Dillon was a vampire, and all the signs were there. She always noticed that he wore sunblock when he had to go outside during the day and sunglasses throughout the day, whenever she was up late thanks to insomnia he always came back around the crack of dawn when she usually woke up after an hour of sleep, he avoided eating anything with garlic like the plague, and even if he had his eyes covered by his sunglasses, he was always looking at her like she was a meal. Not to mention that on at least three occasions, she could've sworn that she saw a pair of fangs coming from the Black Ranger's upper lip or a small bit of blood that he hadn't wiped off.
She suspected the last part had something to do with her blood type. She had the rare O blood type which meant that she could potentially be a target for other vampires if she wasn't so lucky. The other Rangers plus Dr. K were more human than the others, so she didn't feel the need to include them in her work. Not that they took an interest anyway. Heck, Dr. K often referred to her research as "ludicrous and a waste of time to consider that humans could evolve any further into sanguis sapiens". She obviously had no idea.
Tonight was another one of those nights, it seemed. The Rangers talking about their respective interests while she made up some excuse to please Dr. K, all the while sitting through Dillon's intense glare.
Thankfully, she had Flynn to help her out with her ideas. "Ah, leave the poor lass alone. She may have weird ticks and quirks, but honestly we all do. The ghouls and spirits and kooky stuff just happens to be her thing."
Lorelei smiled at her fellow UK Ranger. "Thanks, Flynn. You're a better teammate than the rest." She could feel the glare from Dillon getting more intense, almost like he wanted to be possessive of her.
Scott rolled his eyes. "I'm sorry, but supernatural stuff like zombie viruses and werewolves are fictional."
Summer shrugged. "I wouldn't be too sure on that zombie virus part. I have a friend who I swear is almost my identical twin who survived thanks to this virus that made her into a sort of zombie. I mean, she eats dead brains, but that's from victims of crimes and she uses that to help search for killers by following almost in the literal footsteps of the victim whose brain she eats."
Dr. K nodded. "I've heard that rumor as well. The virus that swept through that area was brutal. But it seems more believable than vampires who could coexist with humans."
This was normally the point where Lorelei wound up snapping her book shut and going to her room, but she was forcing herself to remain calm this time. Besides, the zombie virus that Summer described sounded intriguing to her and was really something to look into after they beat Venjix.
That night after the others had gone their separate ways for the night, Lorelei had decided to go on a walk to clear her mind. She left the garage and headed down the street towards the center of town, enjoying the fresh air that the domed city provided for the civilians. Venjix had been quiet as of late, so she wasn't too worried about any attacks coming from any direction. What she didn't realize was that Dillon had followed her as soon as she starting to head to the sidewalk.
The Black Ranger watched her head to the center of town, his red eyes gleaming in the full moonlight of the night sky as he gazed at her. He could never get over her stunning beauty, what with her intelligent green eyes, bushy brown hair that framed her porcelain skin, and fully fit body shape that filled her clothing out perfectly. She was definitely more attractive than Summer, no offense to the Yellow Ranger, and she had the air of confidence that exuded out more to boot.
But the hardest thing to resist was her delicious smelling blood. The first day she and the rest of her team had come to visit him in his cell, he had to fight to hold himself back from biting her, the smell was so intoxicating. Over time, he had managed to keep it under control, but he still found himself fighting to resist the urge to take her by surprise and drain her.
Speaking of surprises, Lorelei was suddenly startled by some thugs who wanted to steal her money and possibly do worse. But she wasn't going down without a fight. She started applying her judo skills to use, disarming the thugs and knocking them out. But she received a painful stab to her back from one of the remaining seven thugs as she had been dealing with his friend.
"NO!" Dillon's voice roared over the confusion as he rushed in and tackled the thug away, allowing her room to knock the one she was dealing with unconscious with a knee to his head before he strangled the thug he was holding into unconsciousness, panting heavily with his red eyes glinting angrily.
She looked at him, panting slightly as she saw the red eyes, somehow being mesmerized by them. But this was conclusive proof that he was indeed a vampire. The fangs, the garlic aversion, the sunblock. It all fit into place.
He walked over to her and grabbed the knife in her shoulder. "Hold still." With a sharp tug, he got the knife out of her.
She grunted slightly out of pain, but looked at him after the knife was out of her. "Thanks for helping me."
He nodded and led her away from the thugs, looking at her wound once they were out of sight. "It shouldn't be too hard to heal. It's gonna be fair to say that this'll hurt a bit."
She nodded to him. "Just go ahead and do it. Use your bite or whatever."
He chuckled lightly and smiled a bit, relieved that he didn't have to reveal his true self to her. As he carefully moved her hair for a better view of the injury, he moved forward and coated his tongue in a healing venom before licking the stab wound to remove the blood and let the wound close up.
She winced as she felt the venom in her irritated skin, but that quickly faded as she looked at her shoulder and saw the skin close up. "Brilliant." She smiled in amazement before looking at him.
He grinned brightly, his fangs having had extended slightly and making him look quite cute if she was honest with herself. Lorelei wasn't normally one for a relationship, but in this case, she may make an exception.
She moved her hair away from her neck as she looked up at him, leaning into his embrace. "You're cute when you smile with your fangs out."
He looked at her. "Really?" He slowly moved in and sniffed her neck, smirking widely when she pressed against him a bit. "Then maybe I'll keep them out around you all the time." He was clearly starting to get aroused, and her flirting was making her even more irresistible. After all, one night couldn't hurt, right?
And scene. Any more and this would have to be rated M for mature, unless y'all want an alternative or extended ending. Plus a bit of iZombie thrown in for you fans of that show. Read and review.
