Well Kittens, I hadn't realized that I didn't post this here. Here my take on what happened after The Power Rangers defeated Rita in the 2017 movie. The only thing you need to know before reading is that it starts roughly two months after they defeated Rita.

Each chapter is based off of one of Becky G's songs or a song she was featured in, this on this based off of Oath by Cher Lloyd ft Becky G.

Lots a Lot a Love, Kandikitty

I Do Not Own Power Rangers

Kim knew this was a bad idea. She thought of all the better ways to go about it as she slipped her shoes on. Thought about every possible reaction Trini could have about her sneaking into her room. A place Kim had only be allowed once. The Yellow Rangers room was somewhere none of them liked to be. Even after restoring it to its former glory not even Trini liked to be in there for too long, her sleeping through the night still hadn't happened even now. Zack had let it slip that Trini would often come up to his train car at odd times of the night. He was sure she was there on nights he wasn't as well.

So tonight Kim was determined to help Trini sleep in her own room without worry. Why you may ask? Not even Kim herself was exactly sure, it was just a thought that had turned into action and who was she to deny this drive? It felt necessary, like this was the first step to... something. Maybe helping Trini feel safe again? Maybe just a way of figuring out her own jumbled mess of emotions. Really she wasn't too sure and didn't even bother to think about underline meanings at least not right now.

No right now she had a different issue to puzzle out- Trini's window. It was under a lot more security these days so it's not like she could just scale the side of the house and sneak in like she did with Jason. "Shit." She ran a hand through her hair almost caving and just texting the other ranger when her silent prayers were answered. Trini's curtains were shuffling around a long with the extra locks being unlatched. Trini ducked her head out looking for Gods know what when Kim spoke up "But, soft! What light through-Fuck Trini are you okay?"

At the sudden voice she had hit her head on the window stumbling back into the room. "What the hell Kim!" She could just make out the growl.

"Glad to see you're up, can I come in?" It wasn't too much of a question as she was already half in the window, resting her stomach against the ledge looking to where Trini was still holding her head.

"Why are you even here?" Her voice was just shy of a whine. Crossing her arms the shorter ranger leveled her glare onto Kim.

How did she expect an answer when Kim herself didn't even know why she was here. Her mind scrambled searching for something anything "Uhh... She speaks yet she says nothing. What of that? Her eye discourses. I will answer it. I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks?"

"You came here to recite Shakespeare? At 3:42 in the morning. Not even like easily recognizable... Ugh you know what never mind. How can I help you Princess?"

It was more of a "What the fuck do you want?" than anything else. Kim took a steadying breath. "I wanted to know if I could sleep over tonight? Home is a bit big for just me." It wasn't a real lie, she did hate being home alone even if it was more common than not. Noting the blank stare she quickly added "Or we can go out I'm not feeling super tired anyways and like it's really nice out. Let's do that!" Kim adjusted her position in the window not entirely sure what to do but hope Trini would follow her out the window. Stumbling a bit on her landing she waited, eyes turned up to see if this was a success or failure.

A jacket was tossed over her head but she heard the distinctive thump of someone landing besides her. "Just because we're super heroes doesn't mean we don't catch colds."

Kim could hear the smile in her voice. "Whatever you say dear." She rolled her eyes slipping on the jacket that was so kindly offered. The walk to the quarry was done in silence. Both girls seemed to just enjoy the company provided but more likely just lost in their own thoughts. Kim wanted to bring up Rita, bring up Trini's no sleep routine, hell anything to help calm the storm she could feel in her. Pushing Trini was a gamble though. Sometimes it ended well but others it ended in rough silence for however long said girl deemed worthy. That was something Kim didn't want to risk. She had grown attached to their time together, they were forming something- something Kim was attached to.

"Jesus just spill would you? I can practically hear you thinking." The rangers had come to rest at Kims favorite cliff, the one she used to jump from. Trini had her feet over the edge with her hands shoved deep in her jacket pockets.

"I just... Are you okay? I know you probably don't want to talk about it because if you did want to talk you would have already brought it up but like I know you still aren't sleeping and seeing the way you snuck out tonight it looked like you've been doing that a lot. I'm really worried about you Trin. Maybe I don't have the right to I mean we've known each other all of maybe three months? But we saved the fucking world together and I feel... You've just... words. Words are hard. Are you okay?"

Trini's eyebrow was raised and a slight smile pulled at her lips. "Some speech, did you have that written out or?"

Kim laughed relaxing a bit at the usual banter. She hadn't crossed a line.

"Things are crazy to put it simple. I thought once She was gone I'd feel I dunno a bit more okay? The world isn't ending, so far no one else has come for the crystal and... I'm not alone anymore." She cast her eyes to the water below. "But I still feel it sometimes. Her fucking staff clawing my neck, her hand on my throat, her..." Trini's voice cracked slightly. Besides what she said at the football field the ranger had never disclosed the entire event. Kim fought the urge to touch her, knowing that would make matters worse. "Her fucking tongue on me. That bitch may be gone but I can feel her still. So yeah, sleep isn't something that comes easy if at all. Being there where it all happened is suffocating."

Well shit what could Kim say to that? It explained a lot. How the usual distant ranger had gotten even more conservative with touch. Kim blurted out the first thing that came to mind "You ripped my locker off its hinges."

Trini's shoulders slumped as she seemed to loosen up "What?" Her voice was slightly airy like she was holding back a laugh.

"You destroyed my locker because you saw how it affected me. You never asked about any of it, never questioned what was going on. You just knew I was upset and fixed the thing you could. So let me help you?" Kim's mouth was working faster than her head "You can't sleep because you're afraid of..." She couldn't say it the words burned in her throat but she couldn't. "Let me be there."

"Are you asking to sleep with me?" There it was the cocky eyebrow quirk and steady voice of someone Kim was starting to consider her best friend.

"And if I was?" Sticking her tongue out, Kim gentle nudged Trini's shoulder with her own. Banter was safe. Banter was how they worked. "But seriously. My place even, if you want. So nothing is even close to that night. You need sleep Trin, and you deserve to not feel afraid anymore."

"My parents would never..."

"Than your place. I'll sneak out before they even know I was there. I wanna help and if not sleeping alone will help then let's do that." Standing she offered her hand to help her up.

"How do you know it'll work?" Together, arms linking, they made their way toward Trini's home.

"I don't but I'm willing to try anything. I wanna help like you helped me." There was something in those words that hung in the air. Some sort of promise. Trini trusted Kim with her life, but somehow trusting her with her pain was harder. Under the midnight sky however, it felt slightly easier. A little less real. A slight nod was the only confirmation Kim got but it was all she needed. For all intensive purposes Trini's problems were now hers and she was going to help in every way she could.
