A/N I disclaim power rangers. I merely like to tweak the time line to fit my story.

OK guys, here's the deal. I just got my lappy back after almost a year of not having it. Three grandparents in the hospital, my dad and I are both unemployed, and to top it all off, I WAS FORCED TO MOVE INTO THE SAME ROOM WITH MY 12 YEAR OLD SISTER. God save me.

This is what I have, and a ton of notes. I will get more out but I have no idea when. I have half a page of the next chapter and I know where I'm going with all this. Past that, this is all up in the air.

Chapter 4

"Do you think the buildings are empty when we crash into them in zords?" Dr. Oliver asked.

"Yeah, I guess we did." Kira replied.

"And none of you read the paper or watch the news?" Dr. Oliver asked.

" No, I guess not." Ethan said.

"Well in the beginning of the fighting the city doesn't have a safety plan, so anyone left in the building is hurt or killed. It's sad, but true. And, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do." Dr. Oliver explained. "if the rangers stop fighting then the bad guys win. It's unfortunate but it's something we as a town and we as rangers have to live with."

"That really sucks." Trent said.

"I feel so bad." Kira clutched her chest. "All those people."

"Now I do have news. I had Hailey run a check on her; just to be safe and she got some interesting information." Dr. Oliver said to them. "She's from New York."

"And? There's got to be more to that." Conner said.

"That's whats so interesting, there is nothing more. Rene Evans did not exist prior to her last week in New York."

"Really?" Trent asked. "how does that work?"

"She was a refugee, found in the remnants of the final battle along those who couldn't get out of the building." Dr. Oliver stated.

"We should so ask her who she is see if she can remember anything." Conner suggested.

"If it weren't for the facts that that would out us as rangers, not to mention be totally rude and mean, that would be a good idea." Kira countered.

"You guys are missing something, when were there rangers in New York?" Ethan asked.

"Caught that, did you?" Dr. Oliver commented. "There was one incident. Two buildings were destroyed about and now they say it was terrorists but I have friends in convenient places. I was told it was a zord battle with two zords and no monster." at the confused looks he clarified further. "good rangers against bad rangers."

They all sat, awe struck. "No wonder she hates rangers."

Ren walked into her apartment after Hailey's and threw herself on the couch. She was beat from the day of school and work. Not that waitressing was hard she had done it in her last ten thousand jobs and there was virtually no difference between Hailey's Cyberspace and Tony's Pizza and Pasta. Ah, but new york was ago! Plus, the customers were much nicer. New York had never agreed with her much and she decided it was because of the personalities of the residents. New Yorkers as a whole were fascinating but always trying to get ahead no matter what was in their way, and that was why New York's team of rangers had ultimately been a bust.

Ren remembered the day in Tony's when she had come out to the rangers as being the red ranger they so despised. The rangers had gone quiet with her admission. Damian, the Green ranger had apologized for the teasing and smart remarks they had subjected her to. Michael had scoffed and insisted she fight him just to prove she was even capable of it. She refused, after all, rangers should never fight each other: that would be counter productive.

Michael had laughed outright and called his zord. He had started to attack the pizza place and Ren had called her zord to protect the civilians. Ten minutes later the two towers who had stood so tall were nothing but rubble. Ren had been ejected from her zord and right before the last tower fell there had been a flash, and she was falling into darkness.

She would never forgive herself for being goaded into that fight. She had demolished her second home because some miss colored blue ranger had had an ego. That had been the final straw. She had stopped trying to help, only surfacing when the power was gone to a new town as it so often did. She had lost two teams now and she would not let anymore die.

A/N: to apologize I'm adding some sneak peaks!

"What do you mean, SISTERS?" Ethan screamed.

Tommy stood stock still. This wasn't happening. An old bad guy is not sitting in my kitchen making dinner for the kids. This isn't happening!

Ren sat down in her corner of her room and began to bang her head against the wall. How did she explain who she was? What she was? How would they ever believe her?
