Enjoy this after Thanksgiving/early Christmas treat! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers. I only have claims to the plot and Bay.
Bay didn't imagine that her first day off from being grounded would be so exciting. She should have seen it coming really. Because finding out that her dad, her boyfriend and his friends were Power Rangers was not on her to do list.
It had started with Conner telling her that he was going to see Blake Bradley race because Kira had met him and she had gotten passes for them. Of course Kira didn't think to get her a pass but she made him promise to get her his autograph and that they would meet at the Cybercafe after.
A few hours later
"Hey mom I'm going to meet Conner at the Cybercafe," Bay yelled as she grabbed her jacket.
"Be home before dinner please," Kim said walking to the front door.
"Whatever."
"So I know you don't really date but would it be okay if I called you my girlfriend?" Conner asked as they waited for Bay's coffee.
"I think you could be an exception to my rule, can you bring my drink to the table? I need to go to the bathroom," Bay said as she kissed his cheek and then left to go to the bathroom.
She was only in the bathroom for a minute before she heard the crashing and the screams. She ran back out just in time to see Conner and the standing across from three other people, two guys and a girl.
"Dude she's kind of cute don't you think?" Conner asked Ethan as they walked closer. She would definitely talk to him about that later.
She was so caught up in her thoughts that she had missed most of their short conversation. She did pick up the word ninja. And as they left it was like something she had never seen before. Ethan called it ninja streaking.
"I have to make sure Bay is ok before we go meet them," the soccer player said as he finally looked in the direction of the bathroom.
"Bay is fine. She needs an explanation on what is going on," she said crossing her arms.
"Depends on how much you heard," Ethan said rubbing the back of his head.
"Something about ninjas and you thinking that girl was cute," Bay smirked the last part at Conner.
"We should get to Doctor O's house and have this conversation there," Kira said looking around the Cybercafe.
"What does my dad have to do with this?" the girl asked moving closer to the door.
"Whoa Dr. O is your dad?"
"Long complicated story to be told at another time."
"Alright ignoring the fact that these three plus Trent are Power Rangers, where do you and Hayley fit into the equation?" Bay asked sitting in the basement headquarters in her dad's house.
"Hayley is a computer genius and helped me build this lab down here, and I am a Power Ranger," Tommy said looking at his daughter. He really didn't to have to be the one to tell her of his past. But with the turn of events that day it was inevitable.
"That's crazy! Do you know how old you are?"
"He's one of the best rangers in history Bay. He's been in uniform four different times. How do you think he met your mom?" Hayley said.
"Mom was a Power Ranger? So were Jason and Trini too? Wait don't answer that I don't want to know."
"Dr. O we have to meet the Ninja storm rangers under the Harbor Bridge," Conner said looking at the time.
"And we aren't done with your comment on how cute that female ranger was," Bay said glaring at him.
"Can we talk about this later?"
"Fine. Whatever."
She watched as the rangers left before turning around to look at her father and Hayley
"You know he's crazy about you right?" Tommy asked his daughter.
"I know. What's a relationship if its just boring all the time? So we are going to break the news to mom that I know your dirty little secret?"
"After the situation with the Wind rangers is taken care of."
"So four different colors huh?"
"So Blake Bradley is a former Power Ranger. You just became five times more awesome in my book," Bay said looking around at the other rangers gathered in her dad's basement.
"It's rare to see a girl interested in motocross. I'm surprised you even recognized me," Blake smiled.
"I'm not your average girl," the girl said smiling as well.
"Nope just a normal daughter of two power rangers with a boyfriend," Conner said interrupting the two.
"Excuse Connie here. We're working on his articulating problem as well as his manners," Bay glared slightly at her boyfriend.
"I think I'm going to talk to Tori but remind me later to give you that autograph," Blake said removing himself from the conversation.
"You were flirting," Conner said as soon as Bay fully turned to look at him.
"Oh please. If I were flirting you would know it. But jealousy is a nice color on you, I like it better then red," the girl smiled.
"I know it's overwhelming finding out about all of this," the soccer star started.
"Oh you mean my dad and my boyfriend and his friends fighting some evil villain who wants to take over the world. And not to mention my mom was one too."
"Yeah all that."
"Don't worry about it. I've learned to adapt to new situations," Bay said looking over to see her dad talking to the Sensei Wantanbe.
Before Conner could say anything else the alarm went off reminding the rangers that they still had trouble.
"Time to go. Bay," Tommy said looking at his daughter.
"Stay here and don't leave. I got it," Bay said waving her hand dismissively.
"Right. Lets go," the black ranger said to the group as they all started to pile out of the basement.
"I can tell he loves you very much," Sensei said studying the girl.
"I don't see how he can. He only just met me a few weeks ago," Bay shrugged and sat down on the stairs.
"That's all it takes for a parent to love their child," the older man said sitting next to her.
"I pulled up the battle on the computer if you want to watch," Hayley said coming over to the two.
"I think I'm going to make a sandwich. You two go cheer them on," Bay said getting up and walking up the stairs to the kitchen.
"So how long have you liked motocross?" Conner asked looking at Blake holding his trophy.
"A few years now. I would probably be riding if my mom wasn't so afraid of me getting hurt," Bay said smiling. "But now that I know she put her life in danger at my age I could start riding."
"Wasn't she your age when she had you?"
"You're a buzzkill you know that?"
"Hey Bay here's that autograph and my card. If you ever want tickets give me a call," Blake said interrupting the couple.
"I don't like the look Tori is giving me. Are you two a thing or what?" Bay asked putting the items in her bag.
"She's teaching at the Wind Storm Academy and I'm doing motocross," The navy ranger shrugged.
"Well thank you for the autograph and I will definitely take you up on that offer."
"Cool. Nice meeting you Conner," Blake said shaking the other rangers hand before going back to his brother and friends.
"Don't be jealous Conner. I may like Blake but it's only because of his insane motocross skill," the girl reassured her boyfriend.
"I should get you home. You have to talk with your mom."
"Alright. We'll avoid the conversation for right now."
"So are we going to talk about your secret keeping or are we going to ignore it?" Bay asked her mother as she entered the living room.
"What secret are you referring too?" Kimberly asked her daughter pausing the movie she was watching.
"The secret where you were a Power Ranger and that's how you met my dad," the girl said going to the kitchen.
"Who told you that? Was it Tommy?" The gymnastics coach asked following her into the kitchen.
"Actually I found out because Conner, Ethan and Kira are Power Rangers and some good rangers turned bad we're attacking the Cybercafe while I was there and then they took me to see my dad who then told me everything," Bay said grabbing her container of left over Chinese food and putting it in the microwave.
"I was waiting to tell you," Kimberly groaned.
"When I had kids maybe?"
"No when you left for college and far away so I knew you were safe. Being around Power Rangers always puts you in danger."
"But I was around Jason and Trini," Bay reminded her mother.
"They haven't been rangers in years. Except Jason but that was a one time deal as far as I know," Kimberly sighed sitting on the counter.
Bay looked at her mother and sighed as she grabbed her food out of the microwave and sat next to her. She knew that all her mother wanted was to protect her. She had been prepared to be angry but she understood the reasons why she was never told certain things.
"Well now I know why Conner leaves our dates sometimes. And what is with the whole wearing your color thing? I'm pretty sure if I was actually looking to see who the Power Rangers were I would have figured it out."
"Then they're lucky that Cassidy hasn't figured it out," Kimberly said taking a bite of her daughter's food.
"So is this the reason why I was forced to wear pink when I was a baby?"
"Pink is the traditional color for girls and I couldn't help it if that's all I got from people."
"That's the reason why I have purple highlights instead of pink ones."
"I thought that was because David said you couldn't dye your hair?"
"Details mom," Bay smiled at her mother.
It didn't take that long to get this out. Originally Bay wasn't going to find out in this chapter but I changed my mind. Hopefully the next chapter doesn't take that long.
