Luana frowned when Andros came in to the guest room carrying Zineen. "She's been echoing to my team," said Andros.
"Zineen!" exclaimed Luana. "You're not supposed to do that."
"I know, but no one got hurt," said Zineen.
"It was still a mind touch," complained Luana. "Andros, why weren't you blocking her?"
"Why is this my fault? You told me she was asleep," replied Andros.
"Does your team know?" asked Luana.
"Kind of," replied Andros. "When I asked about the girl that they were seeing, I left with the explanation that Zineen was awake."
"Then we should tell them," Luana decided.
Andros nodded and opened the door. The three siblings walked back to Zhane's room where everyone was still gathered. "Is this who you saw?" Andros asked holding Zineen in the doorway.
"Yeah!" exclaimed TJ.
"Who is she?" asked Carlos.
"This is Zineen and she won't be appearing to you again," said Andros sternly toward Zineen.
"That reminds me," said Ashley. "How could you appear and disappear?"
"I told you. I was never there," said Zineen.
"Zineen was doing a mind touch by projecting an image of herself into your head. She's not ever going to do that again," Andros repeated.
The little girl lowered her head in compliance. Luana watched Ashley closely, waiting for a reaction. To her surprise, she seemed rather calm.
"Well, I guess that's okay," said Cassie.
Andros handed Zineen to Luana. "Back to sleep and no more echoing," said Luana as she took her sister out.
"I'm not sure I understand," confessed Carlos once Luana was gone.
"What?" asked Andros as he sat on the bed next to Ashley.
"Mind touch, images in your head, I don't get it. As far as I knew, I wasn't telepathic," complained Carlos.
"When it's a half-Eltarian, it doesn't matter," said Zhane. "They'll get into your mind whether you know it or not."
"Unless, someone is blocking them," added Andros.
"What exactly is a half-Eltarian?" asked Ashley.
"First explain full-Eltarian," said Zhane, knowing that Andros would be the best to handle his girlfriend's question.
"A full-Eltarian's mental powers of telepathy, empathy and telekinesis are limited due to genes. When there is a half-human-Eltarian, the limitation gene isn't passed on. So, their powers are unlimited," explained Andros.
Carlos nodded as he tried to understand what Andros had just said. TJ exchanged looks with Cassie and Ashley smiled at Andros. "Is it dangerous?" she asked. "Mind touching, I mean."
"It can be," replied Andros. "Usually a child can cause more damage then an adult. I thought Luana would have a mental block on her so that Zineen's abilities couldn't' work, but that wasn't accurate."
Cassie waited a couple of seconds, then asked, "Can we go back to sleep now?"
Andros smiled and Zhane said, "Not in my room." The four Earth Rangers and Andros stood and went out, the door closing behind them.
Cassie, Carlos, and TJ went into their own rooms leaving Andros and Ashley out in the hall. "Are you walking us to school tomorrow?" asked Ashley.
"Of course," replied Andros. "But I might have to bring Zineen. She likes to see new places and I don't trust her on my ship for any length of time."
"I guess," Ashley said a little jealous of her boyfriend's new center of attention.
"Come on, Ashley," Andros said taking her hand. "It's only for a few days. Zineen hasn't seen me in years. After they're gone, we can take some time off and go somewhere romantic."
Ashley looked into Andros's eyes. "I would like that," she said with a smile.
He smiled back. "Good, it's a date," he said and kissed her softly. Ashley didn't want to have to go back to her room and try to sleep. "I will see you in the morning."
"I love you," she replied to his promise.
"I love you," he said kissing her one more time before she went into her room.
"She seems nice," Luana's voice made Andros turn to see her. "Sorry, I was passing by and I heard talking. I didn't mean to interrupt."
"You didn't. Are you calling dad tonight?" asked Andros.
"I was going to tell him I arrived safely if that's alright with you," replied Luana.
"Make sure you tell him from the bridge," Andros said.
She nodded and left him alone outside Ashley's door. Andros looked around the empty hall before going to his own room to sleep.
Luana made her way to the bridge and smiled when she saw nothing had changed. "The place looks good, DECA," she commented.
"Thank you," the AI automatically replied.
"DECA, are all the Rangers asleep?"
"Affirmative," she responded.
"Cab you tell me how Andros is doing? Has he had any problems with his abilities lately?" Luana knew that wither her brother being half- Eltrian, some things were bound no to go the way he wanted.
"None that he has told me of," answered DECA.
Luana said in Andros's chair. "I s that why you're angry with me right now? You think I know something you don't?"
The AI didn't answer.
"I don't, DECA. Half-Eltrians are unpredictable. We can't always express what we feel because we feel everything. When I'm happy, there is a small part of me that is sad, always. Or when I feel excited, I'm also depressed. Andros feels that too," explained Luana.
"I have studied the mind of half-Eltrians," declared DECA and her light turned off again.
Luana sighed as she activated the communication array. The symbol of the Karovian world appeared on the screen. A woman replaced it. "How I help you?" she asked.
"I would like to speak to my father."
