I do not own Power rangers SPD. Disney does.

The only thing I do own is my character Emma.


The following morning, Kat was shifting through the computers database, trying to find as much information on Kinesis as possible. Kat found little information on Marcus Rivers. Kinesis' information was still sorting through the computers.

"Still nothing?" Z asked as she, Syd, Sky and Bridge walked in.

"No. Kinesis' information is still shifting through our database." Kat said. "That can either be a good thing or a bad thing." Kat sighed, turning to face the rangers. "What did Dr. Oliver say about Emma?"

"Not much." Z said. "He said he had to talk to Kim and that we should keep him posted." Z sighed. "I was really hoping that would help."

"At least you tried." Syd said, as a C Squad Cadet walked in.

"Sorry to interrupt, but Dr. Manx, there are two people who would like to see you." Kat looked confused. "Well...would like to speak with you. They are actually here to see Cadet Richardson."

"Tommy and Kim?" Z wondered.

"I believe so." The cadet said.

"Let's go." Kat said to the rangers. "Thank you, Cadet. That is all." The C Squad nodded and left. Kat lead the way to the entrance outside, with Z, Bridge, Syd and Sky right behind. They walked outside. Tommy and Kim stood there. "Dr. Oliver. Mrs. Oliver. What may we help you with?"

"We're here to help." Kim said.

"I never said you had to come." Z said quickly. "I was just hoping for suggestions."

"We decided that it would help." Tommy said.

"She has become to trust us and she will have a chance to open up to us. Plus, we can be here, we won't leave to go fight or do patrols or trainings." Kim explained. "She's told us a lot about Marcus."

"She's in her room." Kat said. "We have a spare room we can set you up in."

"Thank you." Tommy said. Sky and Bridge took Tommy and Kim's bags. "We'll go talk to her." The rangers, Kat, Kim and Tommy started walking.

"Do you know about the situation?" Kat asked.

"I know what Emma and Z told me." Tommy said. "Emma will explain more when she is ready."

"We want to do this without interruptions." Kim stated. "Let her come to you, and when she does, just pretend like nothing happened. Don't bring up Marcus or it may make things worse. Let her bring it up."

"Is her room still locked?" Tommy asked.

"Yes, she hasn't come out, that we know of at least." Syd stated. Bridge and Sky took Tommy and Kim's bags to the spare room.

"The door system can be override, correct?" Tommy asked.

"Yes." Kat said "Do you want me to override the door lock?"

"Not unless she refuses to open the door, but that will be the absolute last option." Kim said simply. "We are not too concerned about that." They arrived at the lounge.

"Alright." Kat said. "Keep me posted."

"We will." Kim looked at Tommy. "Let's go."


I was laying on my bed, staring off into space when I heard a knock. I assumed it was Z, Syd, Bridge or Sky trying to convince me to come out again. There was another knock on my door. This time, a voice I wasn't expecting spoke.

"Emma. It's Kim." Kim's voice sounded. "Tommy and I would like to come in." I slowly got out of bed. I unlocked my door. I climbed back into bed as Kim knocked again. This time the door opened. Kim and Tommy looked at each other before walking in. Kim looked at me. "Oh Emma." Kim set her purse down and sat next to me on the bed. Tommy shut the door and locked it again before sitting at the end of the bed. Kim wrapped me in a hug. I rested my head on her shoulder.

"You were right." I said, quietly to Kim. "He didn't like me like I liked him."

"I didn't want to be right." Kim said.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Tommy asked. "Do you want to tell us what happened, or do you just want us to sit with you?"

"Just sit."

"We're not going to pressure you into telling us." Kim stated. "But when you are ready, we will be here to listen."

"Are you hungry?" I shook my head. "We brought you something." Tommy got up and grabbed a bag from Kim's purse. Tommy handed it to me. "Chocolate does wonders for a broken heart." I smiled slightly.

"I trusted him." I said after some silence. "I thought I had a friend, a friend I could relate to." I sat up and looked at Kim. "Why do I feel like the air has been knocked out of me? Why don't I have an appetite?"

"Usually, when you are upset, you lose your appetite. And your heart is hurt, and because your heart aches, your body aches too." Kim explained. "Your body is a whole. When you're sad, or heartbroken, your body wants to heal. It will heal as a whole."

"Why are you here?" I asked. "You don't need to come."

"We know how hard the first heartbreak can be." Tommy said.

"We were worried." Kim said. I sighed and grabbed my stuff bear and stuff dog. "We are here to listen."

"Thanks."

"You look tired." Kim observed. "Have you slept much?"

"Not really." Tommy stood up.

"You try to sleep." Tommy said. "I told Jason I would keep him updated."

"He knows too?" I asked. Tommy nodded.

"He didn't know much until I talked to him last night."

"Yeah...I didn't tell many people at all." I kept my focus on my stuff bear.

"Try to sleep." I nodded. Kim went to stand up.

"Will you stay?" I asked Kim. Kim smiled slightly.

"Of course." Tommy smiled as Kim got comfortable next to me on the bed. Tommy unlocked the door and walked out. Bridge, Z, Syd and Sky turned.

"Well?" Z asked.

"There was a brief moment she started talking, but quickly changed the subject." Tommy stated, grabbing his phone. "Excuse me." The rangers looked at each other.

"Progress." Sky said, sitting down.

"It's a good thing they came." Syd said, joining Sky on the couch. "She needs them."

"How so?" Z asked.

"She needs parent figures." Syd stated. "She's young and it's not easy to live without parent to guide you."

"Hey. Jack and I turned out just fine, thank you."

"But look where you were before SPD." Bridge pointed out.

"Again, we turned out just fine." Z stated, picking up her book. Sky looked at the time.

"I'm off to train the C and D squad cadets." Sky said, getting to his feet. "Anyone is able to join!"

"Pass." Syd and Z said in unison.

"I'm working with Boom on upgrades later."

"Alright then." Sky left. Z started reading.


"How is she?" Jason asked over the phone.

"Heartbroken." Tommy said simply. "Kim is still with her. She hasn't slept much, nor has she eaten a thing since yesterday morning."

"I didn't even know she like someone."

"She didn't come out a say it to me, but her and Kim talked about it."

"I'm glad Kim is with her." Jason said. "You two are amazing. Thank you for helping out."

"Jason, you know we would have helped in any way we could." Tommy said. "Besides, since it's summer vacation. I don't have school. Kim does not have to do school counseling for a few weeks until summer school starts. Gymnastics isn't until fall, so that frees up more time for Kim, and the boys are at sports camp for the next 3 weeks."

"It's true, you do have a bit more free time during the summer." Jason stated. "Again, thank you. It means so much."

"We can be a team here." Tommy said. "Emma is family to all of us."

"Again, thank you." Jason said. "I will try to call and talk to Emma later."

"We'll be here." Tommy said. "We'll keep you updated."

"Sounds good." Jason said. "Talk to you later." Tommy hung up the phone and headed back into the lounge as Kim walked out.

"Is she sleeping?" Tommy asked as Kim approached him.

"Yes." Kim said. "But she is restless."

"Did she talk at all?"

"She asked where Jacob and Joshua were and how they were doing."

"Did you tell her what the boys said when they heard what happened?" Tommy asked with a chuckle.

"I did." Kim smiled. "Hearing that Jake and Josh were ready to beat the kid up, made her smile." Kim stated. "She went right to sleep after that."

"Good." Tommy said. "Let's go settling into our room." Kim nodded and the two of them left the lounge.


Later that evening, Tommy and Kim were sitting in the lounge with the rangers. Tommy was on his computer while Kim was reading a book. Bridge was reading the latest technology magazine on the floor. Z and Sky were reading and Syd was jamming to music flipping thru a fasion magazine. My door opened and I walked out, dressed in jeans and an SPD t-shirt. Kim and Tommy looked up.

"Well, good morning Emma." Tommy joked. Bridge, Syd, Z and Sky looked up.

"Hey Emma." Z said, closing her book. "Sleep well?"

"My nap was nice." I stated. "Have you guys eaten yet?"

"No." Syd said. "Guess we lost track of the time."

"May I join you?"

"Of course." Z smiled. "We could go now, if you'd like." I nodded. Sky, Z, Syd, and Bridge put their things away.

"Did I dream it or did you really tell me that Jacob and Joshua would beat someone up for me?"

"No, that's true." Tommy said, closing his laptop. Kim marked her page in her book.

"They act like you're their little sister." Kim said, standing up. "Even if they never have met you in person." The other rangers walked out of their rooms.

"Shall we?" Z asked.

"Yeah, let's go."


I sat quietly at supper, pushing food around. I still wasn't super hungry, but I attempted to at least eat my Jell-O. Kim and Tommy kept a close eye on me. Bridge, in all Bridge fashion, asked Tommy and Kim loads of questions from their Ranger days. After we ate, we returned to the lounge. We all sat down on the couches shortly before Kat walked in.

"Rangers, I..." Kat stopped when she spotted me. "Emma." Kat said, seeming surprised.

"Hi Kat"

"What's up Kat?" Sky asked.

"The computer has finished shifting through Mar... Kinesis's information." Sky, Syd, Bridge, and Z stood up quickly.

"Let's go to the Command Center." Z suggested.

"No." I said. "You don't have to leave."

"There is no weakness for Kinesis. None that have been documented at least." Kat explained.

"So we will have to strategize." Sky said simply. "We'll need to start planning."

"We should get started then." Z added. Kat left.

"Emma, are you going to join us? Sky asked.

"Sky..." Syd said in a low voice. She turned to me. "We'll see you later." Z and Syd pushed Sky out of the lounge with Bridge following behind. I sighed.

"Emma, you don't have to rush back into things." Kim said as soon as the rangers were out of the room. "You can move at your own pace."

"You ok?" Tommy asked.

"Still processing everything."

"Take your time." Kim stated.

"I have a duty to do." I stated, looking at Tommy and Kim. "I'm needed."

"You're right. You do have a duty and you are need." Tommy started. "But you are not going to have your full potential until you are ready. No one can tell you when you are ready except for you." Tommy looked at me. "Do you understand?" I nodded. "Good."

"I'm going to go lay down." I got up and headed to my room.

"I'm going to go with her." Kim said. "Don't go crazy." She added. "I know you and I know what's going through your head right now."

"We told them what to expect and what they should do."

"Remind them, but don't go all out." Kim said, giving Tommy a kiss and headed to check on me.


Sky, Z, Bridge, Syd, Cruger and Kat were working in the Command Center when Tommy walked in and over to Sky.

"What were you thinking inviting Emma to join you when she can barely manage to eat or sleep?" Tommy asked. Kat and Cruger exchanged glances.

"She has duties." Sky said simply.

"Let her come to you, was that not what we told you to do?" Tommy asked. "Even if she tried to help, she would not be very much help. She would be too distracted."

"Tommy is right." Kat said "Even if Emma tried to help, she would have been too distracted to be helpful." Kat said. "The best thing we can do is to keep positive and hope Emma can overcome this."


I will be adding to this story as often as I can. I have almost everything written, I just have to wrap up the ending!

New job has officially begun and it has worn me out! Trying to remember to update as frequently as possible.
