"Kat! Is Syd alright? What do we do?" Z was talking so fast that it ended up sounding like the words were connected into one. To Bridge it might have been humorous any other time, but right now, he'd be talking even faster if he'd asked the question first.
"I'm not sure right now Z, I've never seen this before." Kat said, the concern in her voice earnest. Z sighed, hugging herself tightly as Kat went back into the special room they'd set up for Syd's condition. It was kept at a temperature of thirty degrees Fahrenheit to keep her from melting.
Sky put a hand on Z's shoulder for comfort, making the Yellow Ranger smile lightly at him, sighing as she watched Kat and a team of SPD scientists run tests to try and figure things out on Syd. Bridge glanced at Zane; he was surprised of the amount of concern on her face. He knew she would be concerned, but the fact she looked almost as pale and twitchy as Z with only knowing them such a short time was amazing. It made him feel even worse about what had happened before. Zane suddenly looked at him, making a small head twitch, Bridge nodding and following her down the hall.
They entered the sitting area, Zane sighing and taking a seat on a nearby chair. Bridge sat beside her, and both of them looked at each other for a long moment without saying anything. Finally Bridge decided to say something, looking up at her, taken a bit aback by the stare from those glinting green eyes.
"Zane…I want to…apologize." He took a deep breath "I was just jealous because I wasn't ready for another person to take over Green Ranger cause I had just gotten used to Blue Ranger and then everyone was so impressed with your history in SPD and the fact you knew the Silver Space Ranger and that you were able to do our moves so fast and that-"
"Bridge!" Zane grinned a bit at him, cutting the Blue Ranger off. He smiled sheepishly at her, sighing and taking another breath.
"Bridge, I know. Remember, I felt the emotions from you. But I also know why you felt that way, and I don't really hold any anger against you. It's just…it's hard for me to believe anyone would accept me that quickly as the other's did." She looked down once more, making Bridge frown.
"What do you mean?"
Zane sighed, looking back up flicking her bang from in front of her eye and then focusing on the wall right behind Bridge's head. "See…back on my base, my team and I were really close. But when they found out what I could do, that I could read thoughts…things got ugly." Bridge frowned, almost seeing it in his mind. He realized Zane was projecting her memory into his, so he opened up to it, letting himself see it.
"They all suddenly started treating me different, ignoring me when I came to eat, training quietly with me, but not saying anything to me." Bridge saw Zane standing alone, the rest of what he assumed was her team pointing and whispering about her. "But it got worse. I accidentally caught something that my friend Lyr was thinking…and said it out loud. They got violent." Bridge watched as Lyr, the Blue Ranger by his uniform, suddenly lunged at her, punching her in the stomach. He watched Zane try and block, but the other Rangers attack. Then he saw Zane silently scream, there was no sound in her memory, a blast of Red flooding from the girl, knocking the other Rangers back and knocking them out cold. The memory ended, making him gasp a bit for breath.
"I put them into two week comas, every single one of them. After that, I got transferred to Earth SPD because this team had the same sort of abilities I did." Zane looked down at the floor again "That's my story…"
Bridge took a moment to gather his thoughts, before looking at her. "I'm really…sorry Zane. I can't believe they attacked you like that. I'm also sorry about what happened with us. You're a member of our team now…and I hope my actions won't make you think less of the others."
Zane smiled, moving and hugging Bridge suddenly "I don't…I'm so happy to hear you accept me on your team!" she said with a relieved laugh.
Bridge hugged her back, standing up and chuckling himself. Zane nodded, looking like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Bridge was sure he looked the same way. "Alright…enough dramatics. We got a team member to help!" Zane said with newfound energy, putting her hand up. "Right on team mate." Bridge replied, clasping his hand with hers in the universal sign of friendship, before the two went back out of the room, heading down to the infirmary.
Sky watched his team mates walk back up, Zane going to comfort Z who had moved to a chair near the glass window showing into Syd's room. Bridge moved over next to Sky, giving him a thumbs up, which made Sky crack a smile and clap his younger male team mate on the shoulder. "Good job Bridge…" he whispered, the two of them turning back to watch the doctors around Syd.
