"Alright, so what do you guys want to know?" said Jules, plopping down, now dressed in her sweats.

"Where have you been?" asked Trini, looking at her friend anxiously, "I mean, we tried calling you, texting, even using the old communicators! I mean, why haven't you-"

"Trini, let the girl answer!" said Aisha, chuckling, and shaking her head.

"Thanks, Aisha." Jules smiled, " I'm really sorry guys, but it was something I had to do. It wasn't safe for you to be around me."

"What do you mean, Kimmy? What happened?" asked Jason, looking at her in concern.

Jules sighed. "I disappeared around 2001, right?"

"Yeah, but why?" Billy inquired.

"After I won the 1998 Olympics, I started training at a police academy in New York. My second day on the job, we get a call. Shootout at 3rd and Remmington. An apartment building. I get there, and all hell is breaking loose. We already have three officers dead, and several more injured. My boss, Captain Jenson, sets up a force. Twenty police, myself, and my partner, Officer Reynolds. We were to break in, get the civilians, and get out, two minutes or less. We get in there, I'm on point, first one through the door. All I can see are the forty-five dead bodies, littered on the floor of the lobby. I hear a shot-" Jules swallows hard, unable to hold back the tears welling-up in her eyes. Her friends looked at her, eyes wide in shock of the story so far.

She cleared her throat, and continued on. " I hear a shot, and see my partner, on the floor with a bullet through his head. I then turned around, and the gunman that killed my partner is smiling. He has another hostage, beaten up, and terrified. It's a five year old girl. She's looking at a woman dead next to her, and screaming with tears running down her face. The gunman looks at me, and all I see is darkness. Nothing else. I raise my gun. He tells me, I shoot him, he shoots her. I tried to convince him of the impossible. Convince him that her didn't mean it. He yelled at me, saying I was playing tricks on him. He hadn't noticed he'd lowered his gun. Half of the remaining task force jumped on him. He fired his weapon. I didn't even feel a thing." She lowered her head into her hands, letting the tears spill over.

The others in the room were shocked. They had thought that Kimberley was ignoring them because of the letter. They had no idea how much pain she had gone through.

"I wake up two days later. They told me I had a bullet wound to my stomach and had passed out from shock. My captain comes in and tells me my partner had died instantly. I never even got the chance to spend some time with him. He then tells me that the bastard got away. Somehow, even with all exits windows and even the freaking underground tunnels secure, he fucking escaped."

"Kim, I'm so sorry. We thought..." said Zack, trailing off, and looking awkwardly at the others who were silent.

"I know what you thought. You thought I was ignoring you because of the letter, didn't you. Guys, I understand. I deserved it anyways."

"Kim, you never explained what happened that caused you to move here to Toronto." said Adam, looking at Kimberly questionably.

"Oh yeah, Captain Jenson told me he didn't think this type of job was for me. He told me he had contacted his old friend, Sargent Gregory Parker, of a Police unit here in Toronto. He recommended me for a special task force that only a specific few work on. The Strategic Response Unit. I traveled to Toronto, and Sargent Parker tested me on my psychological evaluation. 1600 questions and 20 drills later, I get accepted into the SRU. Just before I started, I got a call. It was Jenson, saying that they had reason to believe that the guy who shot my partner is after me, and to stay protected I need to change my identity, cut off all contact with any friends, family, or loved ones that could be harmed, and create a whole new life. When I heard this, I considered just dropping off the grid. Both of them. I didn't want to cut contact with you guys, or my parents. But it was either that, or risk you guys getting killed. So I chose the first option. I created a new identity. I didn't call or see you guys, or my parents. Hell, I don't even know if my parents are still alive or not!"

"Kim, that sounds awful!" said Kat, giving Jules a hug.

"It was, still is, but I had to get used to it. About three years ago, I got a call from Captain Reynolds. They had the guy in custody. They wanted me to come and testify against him, but since I wasn't Kimberly Hart anymore, I couldn't. He calls me back two and a half months later, and said the guy was put into federal prison for life. But by the time this all happened, I had left to many open spaces that needed to be filled, and I couldn't go back to my old life."

"What about your teammates on the SRU? Are they okay with all of this?" asked Jason, wrapping an arm around her.

"They have no clue about any of this. Only Sarge and Commander Holleran know about my life as Kimberly Hart."

"Are you okay, Kim?" asked Rocky, looking at her with concern and worry evident in her face..

"Guys, I'm fine. I mean, I've missed you guys like crazy, and I'm glad you finally know the truth, but I like this life. It's way more relaxing now that you know the truth about me."

"Well we're glad we get to see you again, Kim. We've really missed you." said Billy, giving Jules a bear hug.

"There's just one thing guys. in public, can you call me Jules Callaghan? That's what I go by here, and calling me Kim could raise suspicion."

"Of course."

"Now, enough about me, I haven't seen you guys in, what, fifteen years? How are you guys!" she said, smiling and bouncing in her seat.

"Well, Jason and I are married, and run a dojo together." said Trini, kissing Jason on the lips and leaning into him, grinning as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"I knew it! I knew there was chemistry between you two back in high school! When did you two get married?"

"September 1, 2001."

"Aww, how sweet." said Jules, smiling. She then turned to Rocky and Aisha, who were currently holding hands and leaning into each other. "And you two look very cute together."

Rocky and Aisha blushed, then Aisha said, "We've been married nine years this weekend!"

"Wow, congratulations, guys! What are doing now?"

" Adam and I co-own a dojo, and Alpha 5 helps us out now that the Morphing Grid is fixed."

"What happened to the Morphing Grid?"

"Long story." said Adam, shaking his head and grimacing.

"Anyways, what about you 'sha?" asked Jules, smiling wide and looking at her best friend.

"I am currently running the old animal shelter that I used to work at."

"You love animals, don't you."

"You know it." said Aisha, smiling at the thought of her furry friends back in Angle Grove.

"Ok, next up, Adam and Tanya, you two look very cozy over there."

"Haha, laugh it up, Kim." said Tanya, sticking her tongue out at the girl. "I am helping out Aisha, and teaching English in Ms. Applebee's old classroom."

"Aww, that's so cool! How are your classes?"

"The kids are nice, but a little less disciplined then we were."

"I bet. Billy and Kat. I have to say, I didn't expect you two to end up together! You make a very cute couple though."

"Thanks, Kim." said Billy and Kat simultaneously.

"So, as Zack once called you 'my main brain,' what have you been doing?"

"Well, once I returned from my adventure on Aquitar, I began researching ranger prototype suits for a new program at NASADA. Confidential and a complete secret to the civilian world."

"And I am currently running a dance program down in LA, and travel around the world putting on performances in different countries."

"Sounds like you two travel around a lot. Billy are you separated from Kat a lot?"

"Nah, I'm able to take my research on the road, so I can travel with Kat when necessary. It's nice, because we can always choose to stay longer if we wish, and fly home separately is we wish to."

"Luckies," Jules muttered under her breath. The others grinned. She noticed their looks and defended herself. "Hey! You try running around in full gear, negotiating criminals and controlling your anger even when you feel like shooting the crap outta them. And then there's the hours. Anyways, Tommy, I have an interesting question for you."

Tommy gulped. He was afraid of this. "Uh, yeah Kim?"

"Exactly when were you planning on telling me you were the Black Dino Thunder Ranger?"

The others stared at her in surprise.

"H-How the hell did you figure it out so fast?" Jason sputtered, overcome with shock, while the others just stared with wide eyes.

"Oh, please, like it wasn't obvious. I turn on the TV one day, and see five dinosaur base spandex covered people. Four teenagers and one adult. Then, the adult starts charging the monster and I think 'Hey, that guys fighting style looks way too familiar.' Then it hits me! I log onto the chat site, and lone and behold, you guys are discussing Mr. Rainbow over here, and Jason is so very kindly making very inappropriate jokes about me and Tommy. By the way," Jules reached over, and slapped Jason, hard, over the head. "That's for those posts."

"W-w-well the thing is-" Tommy said, trying to come up with an excuse.

"Wait, don't tell me. You were doing research on an island. Something went wrong, and god forbid that happens, and you decided that grabbing some special gems that have enough power to turn specific people into power rangers isn't a stupid idea. The island explodes, thanks to freaks attacking it, and Lightspeed gets called in worried sick because you were missing. You then forget the fact that you have people who care about you, and while Jason goes on a rampage trying to contact you, who is at that time running around not only in skin tight spandex, but at the same time getting stuck in an Amber statue, and a coma, I'm getting messages from Jason like crazy, who is trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Next thing I see on the site, is a picture of you, except the photo is tinted Green, White, Red, and Black. Have I missed anything?"

"..."

"Guess not." said Jules, smirking at the shocked look on Tommy's face.

"How the hell did you get all of this information? and from whom?"

"I got a call to the soccer stadium where your yellow was performing and she recognized me. Very sweet girl by the way, Dr. Oliver."

"Shut Up..." said Tommy, blushing as the others howled with laughter.

"Alright, enough torturing the poor guy for now." said Tanya, putting a hand on Tommy's shoulder.

"I should take you guys home. It's getting late."

"We can get there on our own, Kim." said Kat, turning away from her husband.

"Nah, I need to head back to the SRU anyways, before the Doc catches me still having my MP5. I can get you guys there faster anyways."

"How?"

"Police escort." Jules grinned.

~Ten Minutes Later~

"Ok, here we are." said Jason, smiling as he and Jules got out of the car. The others pulled up as well.

"Ok, so how long are you guys here for?" asked Jules, leaning up against the SUV.

"End of next week."

"Ok, well I have morning shifts starting tomorrow, so I'll give you guys a call, and maybe you could come down to the station and meet my team, yeah?"

"Sounds good, Kimmy." said Jason, pulling her in for a bear hug. The others followed soon after.

"See ya guys!"

"Later Kim!"

With that they parted, Kimberly getting back into the SUV and heading to the station once again.
