Previously: Star went to her social worker's house and discovered that she has a picture of the blond girl from her visions, Hermione has been dealing with Becky's bullying for years ever since she came out, after a monster attack Hermione's kindness injures the team.
"Will they be okay?" Hermione asked.
"The boys are fine, Nadia however, is going to need some time to recover." Lenora said as she watched the rangers in the med bay.
Hermione broke down into tears. "This is all my fault, if I would've just-"
"Dwelling on the past won't heal them any faster. Why don't you go for a walk." She said.
Hermione sighed and nodded before leaving. As she walked away she saw Star.
"Hi Star." She said weakly.
"Hey Hermione." Star sighed.
Star sat down at a nearby table and sighed. Her social worker had a picture of the blond girl from her vision. She had to figure out who she was, and why she kept popping up in her visions.
"Maybe she's a relative." Star said aloud.
She grinned. "Time to do some internet stalking."
"Go Star Birds, let's take flight, time to ignite! 5-6-7-8, Star Birds will retaliate! Go Stars!" The cheerleaders sang as the practiced in the park.
Hermione smiled as she watched them. They all seemed so...confident. They seemed so powerful and gorgeous.
"Uh, do you mind perv?" Becky said.
Hermione turned around to see Becky glaring at her. "Pardon?"
"Stop watching us so creepily, you dyke. You're worse than an old man, get out of here lesbo." Becky snapped.
Hermione frowned. "What did I ever do to you?"
"Exist, freakshow." Becky smirked.
Hermione felt tears form, but tried to fight them off. She didn't want Becky to have the satisfaction of seeing her cry. She marched off and began to sob.
Star sighed. "This girl doesn't exist. No social media, no records, it's almost impossible."
Star considered her last option. She had to go to Emily and ask her herself. These visions had been bugging her for weeks. She needed answers. And talking to Emily may be the only way to get it.
"Whatcha you thinking about?" Chase asked.
Star jumped, startled and looked up at Chase. "Shouldn't you be resting?"
"I rested enough." He said.
She rolled her eyes and sat back. "I was thinking of how stupid you look in those ranger uniforms."
"Can I not pull off spandex?" Chase chuckled.
"Sweetie, I don't think anyone can pull of spandex." Star laughed.
Chase looked at her computer. "Who are you searching for?"
"Mind your business blondy." She said.
He rolled his eyes. "Fine Star, shut me out again."
Star watched as he walked away, before biting her lip. She sighed and stood up.
"Wait, Chase come back." She said.
Chase stopped and looked back at her. She sighed and looked up at him.
"I need to tell you something." She said.
Hermione sighed as she watched Nadia. "It's all my fault."
Hermione's voice must've startled her awake, because Nadia's eyes flung open and she looked at Hermione.
"Sup Hermione." Nadia said.
Hermione broke down. "Nadia I'm so sorry for what happened to you, it's all my fault."
"Relax Hermione, I'm not mad at you." Nadia said.
Hermione wiped a tear and looked up at her. "You're not?"
"No H, in the field you showed compassion, granted it was to a evil monster, but I can't fault you for that." Nadia said.
Hermione shook her head. "But it got you hurt."
"Nadia, it's important that you find a balance between being a ranger and being Hermione, don't let this job change your beliefs or morals." Nadia said.
Hermione sighed. "You're a really good friend Nadia."
"I know sweetie." Nadia laughed. "And good friends know when their friend is crushing on someone."
Hermione blushed. "I don't have a crush."
"H, I know you have feelings for Star." Nadia said.
Hermione paused. She was about to say something. She shook her head.
"Star's straight, I don't stand a chance." Hermione sighed. "And if I was, I probably wouldn't be enough."
"Hey, don't think like that." Nadia said. "You are beautiful and smart, any girl would be lucky to have you."
Hermione sighed. "Thanks Nadia."
It was Monday afternoon and Hermione was making her way to the girls bathroom. When she got in she gulped when she saw Becky, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Becky looked at her and rolled her eyes.
"Jesus, the lesbo is even following me to the bathroom." Becky said.
Hermione growled and marched over to her. "What is your problem with me?"
"Wow, you really think everything is about you?" Becky said.
"Well it has to be with the way you've been tormenting me ever since I came out." Hermione snapped.
"Leave me alone dyke." Becky snarled.
"What are you scared of a lesbian? You know what they call homophobes? Confused. Maybe you hate me so much, because you hate the fact I can accept who I am, and you can't." Hermione said.
"Are you trying to imply that I'm a lesbian?" Becky growled.
"I didn't imply anything. Maybe if you could just tell me why you hate-"
Hermione was cut off by a kiss. She was surprised, causing her to tense up and stand still as Becky's lips touched hers. After a couple minutes, Hermione pushed Becky away. Becky frowned and glared at Hermione.
"Stay away from me." She said.
Becky grabbed her purse and marched out of the bathroom.
Next: Star enlists Chase to help her with her mission, and Leo tries to search for his birth parents, Hermione has an unexpected meeting with her parents.
Sorry this chapter was short, but I had to take a couple things out to add more mystery to the later chapters.
