Jayden walked into his room and watched his friends to enter into theirs. Once the hall was clear he walked to Lauren's.
The red ranger had seen her sister a little calm than usual and he wanted to know why. Although their relation of siblings had been just of weeks, he loved her and he knew at the very least a brother always helps his sister. He had remembers of Lauren as a kid and he remembered fighting with her about everything but he also as a kid loved his big sister. He wanted to win the most time he had to share his life beside Lauren.

So he walked to Lauren's room and knocked the door. Lauren called out to come in and he slid the door and entered.

The girl red ranger was getting ready for sleep and she was holding her pajamas from the drawer. She turned around to see who was coming and saw Jayden with a little smile.

"Hey Jay"

"Hey Lauren" Jayden answered

"What are you doing here?"

"I just…came"

"Ok fine, just let me put on my pajamas and…."

Jayden interrupted her and pulled her in for a hug. He held her warmly and then he pulled apart. Lauren gave him a confused look and said.

"Ok, what bug pinched you?"

"None" Jayden shook his head "Don't try to hide it from me Lauren"

"I'm innocent, I swear" Lauren chuckled

"Lauren…"

"What?"

"Don't be the brave for me, because maybe I don't know you as much as I want but I know how you are feeling"

Lauren shook her head and back away. She sat on her bed and looked to Jayden

"What are you talking about?"

Jayden sighed and sat next to Lauren. "I'm talking about why you were so quiet"

"You meant in the kitchen? …I said I'm fine"

"Your voice tone doesn't sound like fine"

"Well maybe it's because…"

"Lauren I know you're feeling bad because of our father"

Lauren sighed and looked to her hands nervously. She tried to shake her head but at the same time she was nodding. Tears started to came down.

"I have a point, right?" Jayden said

"Yes" Lauren nodded "I guess, what happened in the morning…."

"About what people started to say? That we haven't any idea about what pain is?"

"Yes. They are the ones who have no idea Jayden. All sacrifices we all do to save them, all we could, but they didn't see any thankful. Only the persons who didn't see angry were the ones who think we are super heroes, but we're not. We are…we are just people as they. They can't see what we are hiding"

Jayden nodded. He felt the same as Lauren. All he could was "everything's going to be ok" but he knew those works didn't work because neither him believed them. He wanted to do something to change people minds and make them not to see them as superheroes. He guess that wouldn't be possible because at some point, heroes and power rangers had something in common: save people's lives.

Jayden wrapped one arm around Lauren. "Lauren, I know how you are feeling, because I can feel it too. But we need to be strong, just as dad everyday told us. We need to have each other backs just as mom said us. They know what they did and we know what they did. That's the import and let the others think whatever they want. But I think the most important is to us to know what they did for save this world. Because I'm sure dad wouldn't care what other say about him, I think he would care what you and me think… "

"…And we think they did an excellent job"

"That's right" Jayden nodded.

Lauren wiped out her tears and hugged her brother. She said few words to him to comfort him and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you Jayden"

Mia was getting the things she would need to clean Kevin's cut. Although the blue ranger didn't have a big damage on his arm, Mia wouldn't risk letting him to get an infection so she would everything to keep Kevin's arm clean.

Mia held his arm and took a look to it. The cut the bullet had left wasn't deep; it looked like a burn but with less pain.

"I think you'll be fine" Mia prognosticated as she cleaned the damage carefully.

"I already fine" Kevin muttered "You are the exaggerated one"

"You're going to thank me when you were cured."

The pink ranger after finished cleaning up changed the bandages and put others around Kevin's bicep.

"Ok, I finished"

"Seriously Mia, you don't have to do this. It just hurt a bit, I'm fine and I don't know why you do this"

"Because I care about you" Mia closed the first aid kit and put it in its place in the bathroom. She changed on her pajamas, brushed her teeth and got into bed.

Kevin watched her to make her routine. It was a while since they had a time to themselves. He wanted to make his relationship just as the others. He wanted to take Mia out for a date or buy her an ice cream or be with her privately.

Now that the house was again full of people, they didn't have any place to be alone and the only times they had a own space was when Ji let them go to the woods but they couldn't be late and they had a schedule to respect. Although he likes have a schedule to follow, the fact of have a girlfriend made him feel in a way to break rules. He was much disciplined and he had thought to continue like it, but he sometimes needed a break to take fresh air, and Mia was his air.

He rolled over when Mia leaned back and glared at her. The pink ranger watched him curiously.

"What?"

"Nothing" Kevin shook his head. He rolled back and turned off the table lamp. Mia did the same and the room went dark. No more words were heard so both of them could sleep, but the blue ranger wasn't feeling tired. He had a lot of his mind and he assumed, after some minutes, Mia couldn't sleep too.

Her sighs kept Kevin worried because he wasn't sure how Mia was feeling. He forgot for a second the lack of privacy time and he remembered his morning. The time when they were walking to the city, when they started to talk the people, when they started to run and when the shots came.

He, then, was when realized Mia maybe felt sad. She had been planning with Jayden and Ji a good way to face the city and had a big hope to make it work. She at the beginning felt guilty because of her the entire world knew who the power rangers were and now that her effort to make a plan failed, she felt bad.

"Mia?" he asked in a whisper.

"Yes, Kevin"

"Are you fine?"

"I'm fine"

There were more minutes of silent but suddenly Mia asked. "Kevin?"

"Yes, Mia"

"Is this all my fault?"

Kevin's heart stopped as his suspicious about Mia were right. He didn't want Mia to feel guilty so he immediately turned on the lamp and shook his head to Mia. He hugged her and held her in his arms.

"No, Mia. Absolutely not"

"But because of me… all this mess…. I did it"

"No, Mia. Stop being so hard on you, ok? Now you couldn't do anything more than just help to think in a way to get us out of here and…."

"I already did it, Kevin. And it didn't work"

Mia sounded a little disappointed. The blue ranger could feel a little like Mia, because he felt a little mad too. He tried his best to make the plan work but it looked like the two months of that were straight to the trash. It didn't make things better but worst.

Now he imagined if he had started the problems. He couldn't, and that was exactly how Mia was feeling.

He gave her a kiss in the forehead and said "How are you feeling?"

"I don't know" Mia shrugged her shoulders "I guess, I'm fine. I'm not shot"

"You know this wasn't your fault" Kevin assured her.

Mia pulled away from Kevin's arm and shook her head "No Kevin, why anyone admit it?! All this is my fault… we won't have a normal because I dropped that stupid samuraizer and now everyone is paying that…."

"Mia, stop blaming yourself" Kevin growled "We aren't blaming you"

"I'm not saying that!" Mia shouted "I dropped that samuraizer, people found it, and now they hate us. I dropped that samuraizer Kevin, all this is for me"

Kevin didn't have an argument against that. He could have said what Mia did was an accident but he had tried that before and it didn't work. Mia needed someone to tell her truth, and she had very good friends to tell her that and made her feel uncomfortable. But Kevin wasn't his friend anymore. He now was her boyfriend, and although he wanted to Mia still see him as a friend even in their relationship, he wanted the best for her.

So he sighed and thought twice before started. "Ok, Mia. You wanna here it? Fine…That's true, you dropped your samuraizer, because of you people know who the samurai rangers are. If you had been more careful nothing of this would happened"

Mia looked Kevin straight to eyes. She didn't know what to say but before she could say anything, Kevin continued.

"…but you know what? It isn't your fault how the people reacted. It wasn't your fault that the crazy people thought we are murders or that we came here to make a worse world. You…. didn't give instructions to them who started shout us things…"

"Kev…"

"You didn't put the gun on the officer's hand, did you?"

Mia shook her head.

"You never told him to shot."

"I didn't" Mia shook her head again.

Kevin sighed and hugged Mia again. "Mia, maybe you were the one who dropped the samuraizer but what happened outside that, wasn't your fault"

The pink ranger rubbed her face on Kevin's chest and some tears started to run down from her eyes. She was thinking in everything Kevin said. She knew Kevin had a point. She wasn't responsible of what people were doing. She was innocent and she needed to believe that.

The blue ranger kissed her head and held her warmly. He waited until Mia fell asleep.
