"Boss, do you have your earpiece in?" At his nod, she continued. "Can you tell Sam to pick me up, and the others to meet us at our place?" Sarge nodded and stepped outside of the room to contact him.
"My husband only knows about my stalker and the change of name. He doesn't know about the rest of it. I'll need to tell him at least about the rangers before we get back to our place. I just hope Zordon will forgive me." The other rangers shot each other panicked looks as Jules led them to where Sarge was waiting."Sam's on his way over. What are you gonna tell him Jules?" She looked back at Jason and subconciously reopened her mind link to her brother. 'What do you think, bro?" Jason looked shocked for a second before he schooled his face into an expressionless mask. 'The truth is always the easiest option in the scenario. I'd say just rip it off like a band aid.'
Looking at her boss, she rubbed her wedding band and set her face into a determined mask. "Everything. No more secrets." Sarge nodded, his face morphing into a grim expression. "Good luck. I'll let them in the house, and we'll wait there." "Copy that. Thanks boss." Sam pulled up the SUV to the curb in front of them and hopped out. Jogging over to where his wife was, he looked her over critically. "Are you sure-?" Jules shot him a look and he smiled sheepishly before pulling her into a hug and kissing her on the forehead. She smiled up at him and turned back to the others. "You guys go ahead, and we'll meet you there." The rangers nodded and Greg walked with them out to the parking lot. Once they were gone Jules turned to see Sam looking at her in concern. "What's going on, babe? Why'd they leave without us?" Jules smiled softly and pulled him into a hug. "There're some things I left out about my past, handsome. Some things that you need to know about." Sam thought for a second before nodding and leading her to the SUV. "Let's go get some coffee then, shall we?"

"So you were one of the original Power Ranger's?"
She let out a sigh of relief at his amazed expression and nodded. "I'm sorry for not telling you sooner. I just wasn't sure if I could or not." Sam took her hand and lifted it to his lips, kissing lightly before looking at his wife. "Zordon sounds like a great man. I can't wait to meet him."
"I really miss him. It'll be great to see him again. He was more of a father than my actual father was." Jules glanced at her watch and stood, hugging Sam after he stood as well. "We should get back to the house. The others are waiting." They walked out to the SRU truck and checked to make sure their weapons were secure before getting in and heading towards their house. Jules was silent for a minute before she perked up. "Oh! You can now go into the basement, after today." Sam sent her a shocked look. One of the first rules that his wife had made when they moved into this new house was that the basement was off-limits. This had to be bad.
Jules' door was open as soon as the truck pulled to a stop. Sam got out of the SUV and walked around so he was standing next to her and looked towards the others who were standing around in the front yard before turning and staring at her. "Let's get started." She smiled and patted him on the back before moving towards her house.
She waited until everyone had joined them on the doorstep before turning and looking at Tommy. "Ready to get to work?" Tommy put a hand on her shoulder and squeezed before he nodded. Jules smirked and turned to the others who were looking between them curiously. "Follow me."
Jules unlocked her door and led them through the house, and down to the basement. Flicking multiple switches on the wall, she stepped into the room as her base of operations was revealed to the other rangers, and her SRU team.
"It's not much. But it works." The others' jaws were dropped. "Jules...this is amazing." She smiled at Sarge and nodded in thanks. "This is nothing compared to our old command center. But it works for keeping tabs on extraterrestrial activity. Billy, the system has some bugs. Think you can check it out?" At Billy's affirmative, she turned to Tommy and Ed. "I have a surprise for you guys. And the rest of the teams. Everyone follow me." She led them through the main part of the base and into a side room.
She motioned for them to move into the darkened room, and moved to the wall. "I knew we'd need a backup plan eventually. When I first moved here I started consulting Billy's networked journals on the morphing grid. With his experience and my determination, I was able to come up with these." She flicked on the light. Starting closest to the door, different panels around the wall began lighting up, revealing a row of six brand new, state of the art suits. She smiled proudly at her work and turned back to the former rangers, only to find them gaping in awe. Tommy slowly stepped forward to the panel that held the white ranger suit. Jules stepped up beside him, motioning to the electronic pad on the wall beside the panel. "Place your hand on the panel and hold it there." As Tommy put his hand in place, Jules spoke to seemingly no-one. "Zapu, electronic keying for panel six. File prints under name: Thomas J. Oliver."
The former rangers jumped as a voice spoke out of the speakers in the ceiling. "Electronic Keying: Panel Six. Beginning sequence in 3...2...1.." There was a silent pause, then ZAPU spoke once more. "Keying Sequence successful. Welcome, Thomas J. Oliver." The glass in front of the panel slid up, and Jules motioned for Tommy to go ahead and stand next to the suit. As he stepped towards it, the suit opened up from the center, creating a cocoon for Tommy to step into. Jules shook her head and Tommy walked towards her as suit closed back up and the panel slid closed once more. "We'll be able to run tests later. I still have one more surprise."
She led them through another side door and flicked a switch, revealing a weapons room. "Commander Holleran is slightly more aware of my past then you guys are, so when I first started, Holleran had me create some prototype weapons that would help the SRU when it comes to extra-terrestrial activity. Luckily we haven't had to use the weaponry yet, but now you know we're prepared if need be. Sam?" Sam looked towards his wife with a hopeful look on his face. "You, Wordy, and Spike can test them out later if you'd like." She laughed when not only her husband's face lit up, but her best friend and brothers as well before turning to the rest of the group.
"I think this would all be better explained upstairs. You'll get to come back down and explore the lab later."
As the others headed up to the living room, she motioned for Billy to stay behind a moment. "You think you could create some new communicators for all of us?" He immediately nodded. "I have a couple new prototypes I've been meaning to try out. " Jules smiled. "Great. I'll need you to look over the systems too. I'm relatively certain their air tight, but it'd be nice to have a second opinion." She started up the stair before she felt a hand on her shoulder. "It's good to have you back, sis." She smiled up at Billy. "Thank you for bring so understanding about all of this, Bil. I've missed you guys."
