Taylor took the offered cup of water from Sky as she sat in the desk chair. Sky took a seat next to Ani on the bed and Taylor just looked at them for a moment.

It had been nearly two years since she had seen them together…

"Mum, you said there was something going on when we were walking down here," Sky said softly. "What happened?"

Taylor took a breath and placed her cup down. "Lucky saw something," she said softly.

"And it had to do with us?" Ani ventured to ask.

Taylor nodded her head. "He said he saw you both fighting an alien along with the other members of B-Squad… the alien opened some sort of portal and you both fell into it…" Taylor hung her head, and tried to stop the flow of tears that were threatening to fall. She wasn't going to let her children disappear…

Ani was up in an instant and wrapped her arms around her mother. She knew, as well as Sky did, that their mother couldn't take it if anything ever happened to them. Taylor wrapped her arms around her only daughter and eldest child.

She had been gone for far too long…

"We'll be fine mama," Ani said softly.

"I know you will be, but I had to come here and warn you," she said as Ani sat back down next to her twin. There was something else she needed to tell them… something that had been eating away at her ever since Grumm resurfaced on Earth…

"Mum? What is it?" Sky asked. "I know you're keeping something else from us, aren't you?"

Taylor took a deep breath. She knew she couldn't hide anything from them. "Grumm," she began. "This isn't the first time you've dealt with him."

Both sets of blue eyes widened. "What?" they both asked together.

"You remember when you were abducted when you were little?" The twins nodded their heads. "Grumm hired someone to take you… in exchange for your father and I putting a stop to SPD here on Earth."

Ani's mouth literally dropped as Sky balled his fists.

"That's why you changed our names," Sky stated. "And why Pop-" he paused and took a deep breath. "Why Pop went on that mission."

Taylor nodded her head slowly and looked at her son in the eye. "We did it to protect you both and your brothers. You know that."

The room fell deathly silent as they all let the enormity of everything sink in. Grumm was the reason their father left… Grumm was the one who made their father never come home that day…

"I'll kill him," Sky said. "With my bare hands for what he's done to us."

Ani placed her hand on his arm. "We can't rush into it Sky," she said calmly.

"That's why I came to warn you," Taylor said. "He doesn't know about you two… no one does. But if for some reason he ever found out who you really were, you all would be in danger."

Little did they know that there was someone listening outside the open window to their entire conversation…

Before long, Ani excused herself to go to bed, hugging her mother goodnight and walking down the hall.

As soon as she left, Taylor brought up something to Sky that had been bothering her ever since her meeting the other cadets.

"Sky, how well do you know Jack and Z?" she asked.

"Well enough," he said simply. He then told her of how they were homeless and how Cruger took them in.

"What happened to their parents?"

"Not sure. Jack said his were missionaries, but Z never said anything."

"I knew Jack's parents a little… his mother was pregnant with him when I was carrying you two." Sky's eyes widened.

"Really? You mean that story Cruger told us about our parents helping SPD-"

"Was completely true," she finished.

"So you knew Z's parents too?"

"I think I did if she's who I think she is."

"Mum?" he questioned.

"Nothing to worry about," she said after a moment. "You should get to bed. I'll be taking over your training tomorrow," she said with a grin.

Sky groaned and Taylor hugged him. "It's good to have you here, even if it is for a little while." He released her and walked down to his room.

Taylor sighed. They were so much like Eric it was scary. They could be calm and gentle one minute, and then out for blood the next. They both had inherited his strong sense of family and pride, and her determination.

She couldn't have been more proud of them. She knew Sky was heartbroken over the fact that he wasn't the Red Ranger, but Taylor had known he was smart enough to wise up about it and do his job.

The current yellow ranger filled her mind again.

There was something about her that Taylor couldn't place, but she knew who could.

Moments later she was standing in Command with Cruger overlooking the city.

"Anubis, I need to see the files on Elizabeth," she said calmly. Cruger turned to her questioningly. "I don't doubt her abilities at all. Quite the opposite. I just… I just need to know something."

Wordlessly, Cruger pulled up a restricted file and typed in the proper access codes. "This is everything I know about Cadet Delgado… she hasn't viewed it," the Dog said.

Taylor looked at the holographic file and read about Z…

Her eyes widened and filled with surprised, happy tears…

'Elizabeth Shay Delgado… Mother: Kendall Williams, deceased, cancer… Father: Daniel Delgado, deceased, car crash…'

Taylor turned to Cruger. "He died before she was born," she reasoned. "I knew she seemed familiar, but… she's really Danny's?" she asked in shock. She had known Kendall passed away a long time ago, but never in her wildest dreams did she think she had a child…

Cruger nodded his head. "I couldn't figure out the right way to tell her or any of you about it."

"I understand," Taylor said. "Kendall probably just wanted to keep her safe because of her powers…"

"Just as you have done with your children." Again, Taylor nodded.

"I'll have to speak with her… she deserves to know about her father… Jack too. His parents were good people." Cruger nodded.

"You should rest. You've had a long trip and a lot to contend with today."

"I will… thank you Anubis." With that, Taylor walked back to her room.

Meanwhile…

"Oh Grumm," Morgana said annoyingly. "I have news for you!"

Grumm sat on his 'throne' and sank onto his left arm. "I'm listening."

"Do the names Animaria and Schuyler Meyers ring any bells?"

Grumm straightened in his seat, obviously interested.

"Well, it appears they're very much alive and right under your nose," she said.

"How did you find this out?" the emperor asked intrigued.

"Broodwing overheard a conversation between Taylor Meyers, the blue ranger, and the new little geek on their team… I'm most certain they're the twins you attempted to destroy."

Grumm curled his fingers around his staff. "This is excellent… almost too perfect."

"Will you attempt to destroy them again for foiling your plan of ridding the universe of SPD?"

Grumm laughed then from deep in his horrible body. "Oh no… I won't destroy them." He motioned towards a side door and a figure emerged, dressed in Black and Red. "I think he should have the honor of doing that."

Morgana sneered. She was wondering when Grumm would release his 'warrior' on the rangers. With this new information he received, she knew it was time…
