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!

AN: It's going to be a while before my next update, I fear because I have to study for my AP exam. sigh I'm sorry in advance for the long wait for chapter 15. It makes me sad to have to wait so long before I update again. Here's the next chapter:)

Last time

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.

Now...

Chapter 14- Grandparents

That night, Andros walked into Elektra's room and watched her sleep. Her face, which was pinched with tension during the day, was relaxed, serene. Andros shook his head. He was going to have to work harder if he wanted her to give up her morpher to Alex. We'll be a family again, soon, Elektra, just you wait.

The next day, Elektra, Teddy, Chris, Zander, Karen, and Cami were on the bridge when the alarms went off. Elektra went into leader mode and said as the former rangers flooded the bridge.

"DECA, main viewing screen." The screen lit up and the newest team saw that Angel Grove was being attacked.

They ran to the workbay and went down their jump tubes. They teleported down to Angel Grove and got the innocents out of the way. The monster fired at the rangers and they dove out of the way. Elektra called out, glaring at the creature under her helmet.

"We're here to take you down, Minotaur!"

The monster snorted. "Like you can take me down. I'm the mighty minotaur!"

Elektra rolled her eyes. "SPIRAL SABER!"

Karen grinned under her helmet. "STAR SLINGER!"

"SATELLITE STUNNER!" Cami smiled.

"ASTRO AXE!" Chris smiled at his weapon.

"LUNAR LANCE!" Walt chuckled as he swung the lance around in an arc.

"SUPER SILVERIZER!" Teddy smiled at his weapon. The rangers went at the Minotaur monster, but the Minotaur had eyes for the red Ranger.

"Aaah!" Elektra landed on the cement hard, knocking the air out of her lungs.

The Minotaur monster slashed down at her, but she blocked with her Spiral Saber. Elektra kicked the monster back and called out, glaring.

"SPIRAL SABER BOOSTER MODE!" She attached her Astro Blaster to her weapon and called out, aiming at the monster. "FIRE!" A red beam shot out at the monster and destroyed it. Until it grew.

The rangers called out. "We need Astro Megazord Power now!" The rangers got in their seats as the Astro Megazord took form.

They landed on Earth and the giant Minotaur charged. They moved out of the way and punched the Minotaur in the back. It fell to the ground, shaking the buildings nearby. It got up and slashed at the Astro Megazord, sending sparks flying as the Astro Megazord fell to the ground.

The rangers pulled the Astro Megazord to it's feet and Elektra said, looking at her friends and teammates. "I think it's time for the Astro Saber."

Walt said looking at Elektra. "Saber is online and ready when you are."

"Thanks Walt." She turned back to the Minotaur, who was backing up. "Astro Saber power up!" The Megazord slashed down at the Minotaur, finally destroying it.

Elektra and the others walked onto the bridge and Tommy said, smiling at the group. "You guys were great."

Elektra gave the man a small smile. "Working as a team, we can do anything." Teddy wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's waist and asked, looking down at her.

"What do you say we go get something to eat?"

Elektra replied, her eyes sparkling. "I say let me get changed and we can go." Teddy smiled and they went down to Earth 20 minutes later.

Elektra and Teddy were eating at the Youth Center when an older couple walked in with a group of people. Elektra glanced at them and nearly choked on her burger.

Teddy asked, concerned. "Are you alright, Lek?"

Elektra replied, after sipping her water. "I think I just saw my maternal grandmother."

Teddy sighed in relief. "Oh. I thought it was worse than that."

"I've never met her before." Elektra replied quietly.

Teddy replied, taking her hand. "There's no time like the present."

"Teddy..." Elektra looked at Teddy and Teddy knew what she was scared of.

"She won't reject you, Lek. I promise." Elektra nodded and Teddy walked over to the elder Hammonds. "Mrs. Hammond? Mr. Hammond?" The older woman, her husband, and a younger man turned around and she smiled at Teddy.

"Hello, Teddy. What can I do for you?"

Teddy smiled and said, pulling Elektra up next to him. "Mrs. Hammond and Misters Hammond? I'd like for you to meet Elektra Karova, your granddaughter," Teddy looked over at Jeff Hammond, Ashley's older Brother. "And your niece."

Mrs. Hammond's brown eyes flooded with tears. "Oh, my darling granddaughter." She hugged Elektra and Elektra's eyes closed as a tear slipped down her cheek.

"Hello... Grandmama."

Mrs. Hammond stood back and said, smiling while holding Elektra's shoulders. "Let me look at you." Mrs. Hammonds brown eyes ran over Elektra and she said, smiling. "You look like Ashley." Her eyes landed on Elektra's blonde hair and she said. "You're hair is blonde."

Elektra said, blinking back tears. "I colored it Grandmama."

Mrs. Hammond asked, smiling gently at her granddaughter. "Now why on Earth would you do a thing like that?"

"Because I didn't want to be reminded of the pain my father caused me." Elektra bowed her head and Mrs. Hammond hugged her.

"Oh, my darling. I'm so sorry. Why don't you and Teddy come back to the house and you can tell us all about it." Elektra nodded and Teddy took hold of her hand as they left the Youth Center with the three Hammonds.

They arrived at the Hammond House and when they walked in, Elektra looked around her grandparents house. She saw the pictures of the Hammonds when Ashley was Elektra's age and younger. Elektra felt tears sting her eyes. Her childhood hadn't been as happy as her mother's seemed to be.

Elektra's Uncle Jeff broke the ice by asking Teddy. "You're taking fantastic care of my niece aren't you?"

Teddy nodded. "Of course Mr. Hammond. Besides, she'd kick my rear if I did something to offend her."

Elektra smiled at her boyfriend. "You bet I would." They sat down in the living room and Mrs. Hammond asked gently as she set down the tea tray.

"Would you like some tea dear?"

Elektra nodded. "Chamomile, if you have it please, and a little honey."

Mrs. Hammond smiled at Elektra. "That's how I take my tea as well." Mrs. Hammond handed Elektra a cup of tea and Teddy politely declined. "Now, why don't you tell us about your childhood."

Elektra sipped her tea and replied, looking down at her hands. "There wasn't much of one. I spent most of my time with my cousin, Cameo Stolarz. She's my Aunt Karone and Uncle Zhane's daughter." They nodded and Elektra continued. "Cami and I spent almost all our childhoods together. Uncle Zhane was more of a dad to me than my parents ever were." A smile crossed Elektra's face. "There was one time when we were at her house..."

Flashback

Six year old Elektra looked at her cousin and said, smiling. "Let's go play outside! Maybe Uncle Zhane will take us to the park!"

Six year old Cami smiled. "Ok." They got up and ran outside where Cami's father, Zhane was working on a play set for the girls.

Elektra called out, making Zhane smack himself in the thumb with the hammer. "UNCLE ZHANE! UNCLE ZHANE!"

Zhane shook his hand and asked, smiling at his daughter and his niece. "What can I do for you girls?"

"We wanna go play in the Park, Daddy. Will you take us?" Cami asked, looking up at her father with her mother's blue eyes.

Zhane rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't know..."

"Pleeaasse?" Elektra and Cami looked up at him with their puppy eyes.

Zhane didn't stand a chance. "Alright, alright. Let's go."

"YAY!" Elektra and Cami went inside and grabbed the telekinesis ball before running back outside where Zhane was waiting to take them to the Park with Karone.

End Flashback

Mr. Hammond smiled at his granddaughter. "That's precious sweeting." His smiled turned into a frown. "But where were your parents?"

Elektra replied, looking down at her hands once more. "They were paying more attention to my younger brother, Alex."

Mrs. Hammond looked ready to kill someone. "Where are your darling parents now, Elektra?"

Elektra looked up. "Their on th-" She looked at Teddy and he said, covering. "They're at Angel Grove Park."

Jeff stood up. "We need to have a chat. Now." Elektra nodded and the five of them left the house.

On the way there, Elektra lifted her Communicator up to her mouth and whispered. "Cami! Cami, are you there?"

"Yeah, what's up Lek?"

"I need you to get everyone to Angel Grove Park yesterday!"

Cami got the message. "On it." Elektra and Teddy traded looks and hoped their friends were there with the former rangers when they arrived.

Elektra let out a sigh of relief ten minutes later. Everyone was at the Park, enjoying the day. Cami spotted her and squealed.

"LEK!" Cami ran over and jumped on Elektra, knocking her to the ground, laughing.

"Hi, Cami." Teddy helped them up and Ashley said, surprised to see her mother.

"Mom! What are you doing here?"

Mrs. Hammond glared at her daughter. "I can't believe you! I raised you differently Ashley Elizabeth!"

"Mom, what are you-"

Jeff rolled his eyes. "Ashley, we know you alienated Elektra as a kid."

Elektra came to her mother's defense. "She's better now, Grandmama, Uncle Jeff. She and I are . . . building a new relationship."

Ashley hugged her daughter and Mrs. Hammond sighed. "It doesn't make your childhood go away."

"No," A voice came from behind the Hammonds. "It most certainly doesn't." An older couple came from behind the Hammonds and Andros' eyes widened.

"Mother, father." Caedmon and Mailin Karova nodded and Andros fell to his knees. "I thought you had died in the evacuation of KO-35."

Mailin smiled sadly at her son. "We left in a shuttle for Earth. We meant to wait for you, but when you didn't come, we had to leave. I'm sorry we couldn't find you sooner."

Andros hugged his mother and said, tears leaking down his cheeks. "All that matters is that you and Father are safe and that we're a family again." He pulled back and said, smiling. "Mother, this is Ashley, my wife."

Mailin smiled at the younger woman and said, hugging her. "It's so good to meet the young woman who got my son to live again."

Ashley smiled at her mother-in-law. "It's wonderful to meet you. Andros has told me so much about you."

Andros pointed to Elektra and Alexandre. "These are our children, Alexandre and Eris."

Mailin looked at her son, horrified. "You named your daughter strife?!"

Caedmon looked at Elektra and she blinked. He smiled sadly and said, reaching out and stroking her cheek. "You have your grandmother's eyes, but they tell me that you have aged, more than you needed to."

Mailin pulled back from Andros and asked, confusion and anger mingling her brown eyes flecked with blue.

"How could you do this to your child, Andros? I thought we raised you better than that."

Andros blinked back tears. "Mother, Ashley and I had hoped for Alex to be born first but-"

"But?" Mailin shook her head. "Andros, you and Ashley were blessed with a beautiful daughter. Her sex shouldn't matter. You should have loved her with every ounce of your being."

Caed looked at his son and said, his eyes bright. "Andros, I never thought I would see the day where I was disappointed of you."

"Father-"

Caed shook his head. "Andros, I made mistakes when you and Karone were growing up. I always knew that no matter what I did, you would never repeat my mistakes. But you are. Your mother taught you to love no matter what. You aren't who she raised you to be and you're making my mistakes. Don't be like me, Andros. You still have time to correct your mistakes. Don't lose Elektra like I lost you." Andros looked down at his hands, undecided.

Elektra looked around at her family. "This won't make my childhood go away, but that's in the past." She squeezed her mother's hand. "The present is now; the future ahead of us. All that counts now is what we do to shape our futures."

Jeff asked, looking at his niece. "How did you get so wise?"

"My past . . . was not easy nor is my present, but my future? My future is mine to control." She looked at Teddy. "With some help from my friends," she smiled at her mother, her brother, the Hammonds, and the Karovas. "And my family, I think I'll be ok."

Mailin smiled and said, hugging her granddaughter. "And we'll be here every step of the way to help you through it." Elektra smiled and knew that somehow, everything would be ok.
