Andros' Daughter

Disclaimer: Don't own the Power Rangers. Just Eris and her friends!

Summary: It's seventeen years after the Countdown to Destruction and the rangers get together for a reunion and they bring their families. Eris Morana Yanisin is Andros and Ashley's first born child. And their daughter. Very slight Ashley bashing, more Andros bashing. R&R for me please!

Chapter 13- The Father-Daughter Talk

Elektra woke up the morning after her date with Teddy and smiled. She flopped backwards in bed and couldn't get the smile off her face.

The door to her quarters opened and Elektra looked over to see Cami, Karen, Karone, Tammie, Kim, and her mother walk in. Cami hopped onto the bed next to her and asked, grinning at her while resting her chin on Elektra's raised knee.

"So how was the date?"

Elektra blushed and replied, leaning back on her hands. "It was amazing. Teddy was so great; so sweet, funny, charming, just . . . amazing." The women laughed and Elektra buried her face in her pillow.

Ashley stroked her daughter's blonde hair and said, smiling. "He makes you really happy just like your father makes me really happy."

Elektra looked up at her mother and replied, a smile forming on her face despite the reference to her father. "Yeah, he does."

Tammie grinned and said, sitting next to the girl who she was coming to look at as a sister. "He spent the entire night just yakking about you to Walt. It was kind of annoying, but it was funny at the same time cause I've never seen him act this way about any girl before." Elektra blushed and looked over at her clock.

Elektra scrambled out of bed, but fell when her legs got tangled in her bedsheets. Elektra got up and said, regaining her composure. "I have to get ready and then we have to train."

Cami groaned and Karen asked as Elektra disappeared into her bathroom. "What's wrong with training?"

Cami replied, getting up. "Lek's a demon about training."

Elektra yelled from her bathroom, smirking. "I heard that!" Elektra heard Tammie laugh and Elektra shook her head, a smile plastered to her face.

An hour later, Elektra, Teddy, Karen, Walt, Cami, and Christian were on the Simudeck, training against a simulation of Lamia and her teivels. When the simulation ended, Elektra was very pleased. Her new team was starting to come together quite nicely.

She took off her helmet and said, looking at her new teammates. "This is going really well. We're really coming together as a team."

Teddy kissed her cheek and Walt said, grinning. "It doesn't hurt when two of our teammates are dating."

Elektra laughed and Teddy replied, his arms wrapped around Elektra's waist. "It helps when said teammate and leader is cute." Elektra smiled as she leaned back against Teddy before they put their stuff away in their lockers.

Teddy kissed her softly on the lips and Elektra wrapped her arms around his neck. Teddy pulled her closer as he deepened the kiss and Elektra pressed her body to his. Teddy pulled away gently when they came up for air and Elektra smiled, resting her head on his chest.

Cami asked, looking slightly disgusted, but happy at the same time. "Ted, are you and Lek done playing tonsil hockey?"

Teddy smiled and replied, making Elektra blush as she hid her head in his neck. "For now." Cami laughed and the three left the workbay.

As they were leaving the workbay, Elektra had her hands wrapped around Teddy's upper arm as he, Elektra, and Cami walked down the corridor. When they looked forward, they saw Andros walking towards them hesitantly.

Elektra's smile faded and she became the young woman she had been before she had known Teddy. Her new teammates had never seen her transform that fast so when she did, it threw them through a loop.

Andros stopped in front of his daughter and asked, clearing his throat. "Eris, could I talk to you?" When Teddy took Elektra's hand, Andros said, staring straight at Teddy. "Alone?"

"Sure Father." She looked at Teddy and nodded. Teddy looked skeptical, but let go of her hand. Andros led his daughter to another room and when the door closed, he turned to face his daughter.

Andros studied his daughter and realized that she really was just like him. Their chocolate brown eyes, straight noses, and personalities were the same, but she was a mix of Ashley and his sister, Karone, in looks. Andros took a deep breath and said, looking over at his daughter.

"I have a lot of explaining to do, but I know it won't excuse what I've done to you." Eris folded her arms over her chest and Andros noticed that even their postures were the same. Andros let out a breath and sat down in his seat while looking down at his hands.

Elektra asked, looking at her father. "Why? Why didn't you love me?"

Andros looked at his daughter and said, blinking. "Because I was blind. I thought that a female couldn't be the Red Ranger. When you were born, I was stunned, shocked even. I didn't know what to make of it because there you were, staring up at me with my eyes, looking so absolutely perfect and beautiful that when I realized that you were going to be the next Red Ranger, I got scared."

Elektra sat down across from her father and asked, sitting Indian style in her seat. "Why were you scared?"

Andros looked at Elektra with tears in his eyes. "Because you're my daughter, my little girl. I didn't want you to be hurt and I knew you would be because I was a ranger once."

Elektra blinked rapidly and said. "That still doesn't explain why you didn't love me."

Andros replied, tears shining in his brown eyes. "Because I didn't want to be hurt if you were hurt or, God forbid, killed. I didn't want you to be hurt if something had happened to your mother, your brother, or I so I thought it would be best to distance ourselves from you. Now if you could just give your brother your morpher, he'll take over and we can start to be a family."

Elektra shook her head. "By distancing yourselves from me, you hurt me more. You were never there for me! None of you were! And as for me giving Alex my morpher, keep dreaming!" Elektra ran out of the conference room and to her quarters.

Her teammates followed her and Cami asked, sitting next to Elektra, who was laying on her stomach, sobbing into her pillow. "Elektra, what happened?"

Elektra looked at her cousin and best friend and said as tears slipped down her cheeks. "Dad and I had a talk."

Karen asked, combing her fingers through Elektra's hair like Trini did for Karen. "And?"

Elektra replied, her eyes shining bright with unshed tears. "He told me he was scared because I was the red ranger and . . . and that he didn't want to be hurt if I got killed or vice versa."

Cami sighed at her uncle's stupidity and said, stroking Elektra's hair as tears stung her eyes. "Oh, Lek! I'm so sorry."

Elektra hugged her cousin and said, blinking back her tears. "Then, to add insult to injury, he tried to tell me to give my morpher to Alex so we could be a family again! Honestly! I've always wondered if he could ever love me, but I don't think he can. It seems to be emotionally impossible to love me because a) I'm a girl and b) I'm the red ranger."

Cami hugged her cousin gently. "That's not true! I love you. Mom and Dad love you. Alex loves you. Your mom loves you. Our team loves you."

"I love you." Elektra's head jerked toward the door and saw Teddy standing there.

Elektra asked, her breath in her chest. "You do?" Cami and their teammates left Teddy and Elektra alone.

Teddy nodded. "I do. I know we've only been going out for a day, but I just feel it you know? I can't stop thinking about you when we're apart and when we are together, I love feeling you in my arms. You make me feel complete."

Elektra smiled and hugged him. "Thank you, Teddy."

Teddy hugged her back and replied, kissing her temple. "You're welcome, Lek. I'll always love you." Elektra smiled and Teddy kissed her for the second time.

Ashley: Good job, Sweetie. Way to stick your foot in your mouth! clocks Andros upside the head

Andros: Rubs head What? It's true. If she gives Alex hear morpher, everything will be ok.

Me: sigh and shaking head He still doesn't get it. Stupid man. Any who, see the little purple button? Click on it and drop me a review:D
