"I think its about time we told them how we felt about each other its been a big secret long enough" Trent said as he hugged Kira close
"Your right, Dr. Oliver and the team really deserve to know about us" Kira smiled and secretly wondered how hard it would be to admit that they were a couple, an "item" if you will.
Kat reflected silently as she lay waiting to hear if there was a chance that she could get the use of her legs back. For her, this was a devastating injury. Then she heard a knock on the door and had to smile when she heard Bridge talking in his usual goofy way to Z and Syd. Then all three turned their attention to her.
"Hi Kat" Syd said
"How are you feeling?"
"I've been worse" Kat smiled, she had been a heck of a lot worse, she had nearly died once, but that was before the rangers were born.
"Any word on the nature of your injury?" Syd asked
"Nothing yet, they can't tell yet" Kat sighed sadly
"Oh, I hope it's good news" Bridge said
"Me too" Kat replied sadly
"Excuse me" the doctor said "may I ask all three of you to step out for a moment, I need to talk with Dr. Manx, alone"
Syd read that as meaning that he had bad news for Kat, but that was just for privacy purposes, they left the room and the attending neurologist smiled as he approached Dr. Manx
"I have good news" he said "the only thing keeping you from having feeling in your lower body is swelling, and as soon as that finishes going down and the bruising goes away there should be nothing standing in the way of you walking again." He paused "we will keep you here a few more days then transfer you to the SPD infirmary where you will go through physical therapy otherwise, you will end up, essentially, paralyzed"
"Okay, at least I'll be able to walk again"
"This will be a long process, Dr. Manx, I know, I've seen those like you suffer quite a few frustrations before finding success"
"I understand" she smiled, and he stepped out and allowed the cadets to return
"So what did he have to say?" Z asked
"He said that the only reason I can't walk right now is because of swelling and some bruising of my spine, and he expects a full recovery"
"That's great" Z said
"I'll tell Commander Cruger" Syd said
"No, I want to give him this bit of news myself" Kat said
"Then I'll ask him to come down here, so you can tell him in person" Syd said
Kat was about to stop her when she left the room, pulling her morpher as she left.
"Great" Kat muttered "I didn't want to talk to him just yet"
"Why?" Z asked
"I haven't really figured out how to tell him yet" Kat replied
"Oh" Bridge said "I'll try and stop her"
"Don't worry about it I'll figure out what to say" Kat sighed "I know the commander, I'm pretty sure I know what to say to him about this"
Syd walked back in and announced that he'd be there in a bit… Kat wasn't sure if she had made the right chose in not letting Bridge go and stop Sydney when he offered to.
A few minutes later the rangers left and Commander Cruger arrived to find little change in her condition… albeit, she was actually rather happy, and she wasn't in any visible pain.
"Kat, I heard you had some news, what is it?" he asked gently
