I'm so glad you liked the last chapter! I was so nervous about it.

Anyways, I managed to fight through my latest bout of no motivation and finish another chapter, so here you go!

Hope you like it!

Chapter 15: Sync or Swim

"Guys, come on, you can't be late today!" Ari called up the stairs as she pulled on her boots. "Kendall is going to be stressed out enough as it is," she reminded them.

"What is happening today?" Olivia asked as she walked down the stairs. Since her dad had vanished, Ari had insisted she stay with them, somehow managing to get hold of the rest of Olivia's things. Olivia hadn't asked, still trying to adjust to just how not normal Ari was. She had tried to find another place to live, but Ari had refused, not wanting her to be on her own when she'd just been left behind by her family. Olivia was grateful, and was slowly starting to settle in, even if it did mean fighting even more with the Black Ranger.

"The museum's Fossil Fun Day for kids. I think Kendall is as excited as the kids," Ari chuckled. "Teddie, no running!" she called up the stairs as they heard thudding around the upper level.

"Where's Ivan?" Chase asked as he walked down the stairs, pulling his hat on.

"Went out earlier," Ari chuckled as Teddie followed Chase down, slipping her arms through her jacket that seemed a little too big on her.

"He said he had something important to do," Arianna spoke as she walked out of the kitchen. Ari glanced to her, grateful they had enough room in the house for the three extra guests.

"That can either be very good, or very bad," Chase chuckled. "Hopefully he's getting new clothes, if he wakes me up one more morning cause he can't get into a shirt..." he trailed off.

"If not, we'll get him sorted once this day is over," Ari soothed. "Now let's go, before Kendall freaks," she told the group of teenagers.

"Koda, can you hand me that rope?" Chase called to the caveman as they secured the truck. "Thanks," he grinned as Koda tossed him the other side.

"That is everything," Tyler called as he set the last box onto the truck.

"You sure Shelby doesn't want to get in there like old times?" Teddie teased the Pink Ranger as she helped tie the ropes.

"That happened twice!" Shelby blushed.

"Twice more than the rest of us," Chase grinned at her.

"Almost ready to go," Koda told them as Tyler called Shelby over to his jeep so they could leave a few more things in it.

"This looks like fun," Olivia commented as she saw the hats and buckets.

"Ms. Morgan hosts it every year apparently, kids love it," Teddie told them as Arianna lifted a plastic spade curiously.

"So they dig for fossils? Like the ones you found your Energems in?" she asked them.

"Kinda," Chase nodded with a grin. "Though we hid the bones they're to find last night," he told her.

"I see," Arianna set the blue spade down, before they heard the sound of a horse coming towards them. Looking up, they saw a white horse riding towards the museum, with a figure clad in armour astride it.

"Is that...?"

"Looks like he didn't go shopping for new clothes," Teddie giggled, and Chase laughed as they all gathered around.

"Ivan?" Koda gaped, in awe of the grand arrival.

"He's like something out of a romance novel," Shelby gasped. Ivan lifted the visor of his helmet, and smiled to the crowd.

"You have got to be kidding me," Tyler muttered.

"He seems to be, quite literally, a knight in shining armour," a young man commented beside him, sounding amused. Ivan drew his sword, raising it to the sky.

"I come prepared for battle!" he declared. Shelby, Olivia and Arianna all sighed, won over by the charming knight. Chase laughed, and even Tyler couldn't help but chuckle as people rushed over to take pictures.

"So I take it that's Ivan," the man who spoke before commented.

"Yeah, how'd you gu-Spencer?" Chase did a double-take as he glanced at the slightly taller man, who pulled off his glasses and held them out to his brother with a smirk.

"You need these?" he teased.

"Spencer!" Teddie smiled, throwing her arms around her brother. "What are you doing here?" she asked as he laughed, hugging her back.

"Just checking in. Sky wants to know how you guys are holding up against Sledge," Spencer told her.

"What?" Olivia frowned, not understanding why this new arrival knew of their fight.

"Oh, Oli," Teddie grinned, turning to her. "This is Spencer, our big bro," she introduced him, and he held out his hand to her.

"I'm with SPD, B-Squad Gold Ranger," he explained as the Forest Ranger looked blank. She reached out, shaking his hand. "We've known about Sledge since he arrived in the galaxy, and we've been trying to help where we can," Spencer told the girl, who nodded.

"Right," she still looked a little confused, and glanced to Teddie. "Is anyone in your family normal?" she asked, making Spencer laugh.

"Our grandparents, possibly," Teddie shrugged with a smile of her own. "On dad's side," she added as an afterthought.

"So this is the Knight who was trapped in Fury," Spencer commented as he looked up at Ivan, who was posing for photos. "The resemblance to Gramps is weird," he said as Kendall rushed over with Riley.

"Nothing to see here folks, the museum entrance is right over there! Thank you!" Kendall called, gesturing to the museum quickly. The crowd groaned, but dispersed.

"Good day peasants! Have fun," Ivan waved pleasantly as Kendall walked over to the others.

"I think we need to get some clothes for Ivan that are a tad less...medieval," she commented as she glanced back at the man in metal armour.

"I can take you shopping!" Shelby volunteered quickly.

"T'would be a pleasure m'lady!" Ivan nodded. Olivia and Teddie started to giggle as Tyler scowled, unable to hide his jealousy as Shelby climbed up behind the Gold Ranger. "A brisk gallop through the woods is now in order!" he declared.

"Dude, you're just going to the mall!" Tyler rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you take the others in your motorised buggy, and we'll meet you at the park?" Ivan dismissed him, and with a laugh, closed the visor on his helmet and trotted off.

"My...buggy?" Tyler muttered as Chase tried – and failed – to hide his laughter. With a huff, Tyler spun and stormed off with his new coat flicking out behind him.

"Oh, Spencer," Kendall turned to the young man as she realised he was there. "I didn't know you'd be here," she cleared her throat and shook his hand as he smiled at her. Teddie tilted her head, seeing less of the confidence behind it that he usually had.

"Ms. Morgan, sorry, I would have called ahead, but I got the order about two hours ago," he told her. "The Commander has asked me just to check in now and again. After the trouble with the Ptera Zord, he just wants to make sure that you have everything you need," Spencer explained.

"That's fine. We can go over it later? It's just, the Fossil Fun Day-"

"That's no problem," Spencer laughed, shaking his head. "Need a hand? I'm not needed back at base unless there's an emergency," he offered her, and Kendall smiled back.

"Sure, that would be great," she agreed. He gestured for her to lead the way, and they walked over to the jeep.

"That was different," Teddie commented, her arms folded. Chase hummed his agreement.

"What different?" Koda asked curiously.

"It's nothing mate," Chase patted his shoulder, and they headed to the jeep.

The Fossil Fun Day was in full swing at the park as everyone helped out. While Tyler handed out buckets, spades and hats, Chase and Riley handled the food, and Koda was helping a few kids carry massive bones across the park.

"Wow, that's an interesting find!" Arianna smiled to a little girl who held up the bone she'd just found.

"T-Rex!" the little girl declared, and Arianna continued talking to her as Ari leaned against a tree, watching it take place.

"Honest opinion. How do you think they're holding up?" Spencer asked as he stood beside her.

"Better than some teams," Ari admitted honestly. "They have their moments, I mean they're teenagers tasked with saving the world from evil aliens. You know what that's like, and so do I," she glanced to Spencer, who snorted. He knew exactly what that was like. He still wondered sometimes how his team pulled it together to stop Grumm.

"I'm sorry we haven't been much help," he spoke softly as Teddie and Olivia ran over to stop a little girl who was pelting Kendall with sand she'd filled her hat with.

"Spence, you don't need to apologise," Ari told him softly, looking at her son. "You guys are the first response to threats not only in New Tech City, but the galaxy. That's why they're Rangers. To protect the Earth and the Energems from Sledge," she patted his shoulder, and he nodded.

"They do seem to have a handle on it," Spencer agreed. "They're lucky to have you and Morgan to help them," he commented, watching as Kendall brushed the sand from her clothes, trying not to look too stressed out. Ari followed his gaze, and smirked, but didn't say anything.

"Having Ivan join has really helped them too. Just four Energems left to find now, and we know the Aqua Energem has been found and bonded to someone," she kept on the topic at hand.

"I always thought it weird that Grandma and Grandpa joined you on the Mystic Force team. Ivan just had to one up that, huh?" Spencer asked, and Ari couldn't help but laugh.

"You know his daughter Juliet was like you?" she asked, and Spencer looked at her sharply.

"Really? So that's where it comes from," he murmured, his arms folded.

"How's your training for that going?" Ari asked him as he thought about it.

"Fine, I-" Spencer stopped as he looked up. "Oh, now this looks like it could end badly," he commented with a chuckle, and Ari looked up to see Shelby and Ivan approach the others.

"Ivan, you look fancy," Koda complimented as the other Rangers stood together.

"I know," Ivan grinned back, showing off his new clothes, including a long brown coat with gold trim. It was very familiar, and Tyler knew why.

"Looking suave my man," Chase nodded.

"T'was my lady who chose my new wardrobe," Ivan gestured to Shelby, who smiled proudly.

"Hey, isn't that my jacket?" Tyler frowned as he walked over.

"Uh oh," Teddie giggled to Olivia, who shook her head.

"Yeah, doesn't it look great?" Shelby smiled, her eyes on Ivan.

"I humbly admit, I do wear it well," Ivan shrugged.

"I don't think he knows what humble means," Olivia murmured. "Kinda like someone else we know," she glanced to Chase.

"Hey, you're not quite so modest yourself," Chase retorted.

"I'm not the one who thinks that girls like when you brag about your skating," Olivia scowled at him.

"Please don't fight," Arianna raised her hands in a plea to the pair, before Riley cleared his throat, and they moved aside to let an old lady pass.

"Uh, Ivan," Tyler smirked, a plan coming to mind. "Could you help this kind lady?" he asked. Ivan's eyes lit up.

"T'would be my honour!" Ivan declared, offering his arm. The woman smiled, taking his arm. He led her along, before pausing as they came to the mud puddle.

"Careful, she'll ruin her shoes in the mud," Tyler warned.

"Not while a Knight of Zandar stands at her side!" Ivan pulled off his new coat, and Teddie put a hand to her face. They watched as the woman stepped across his coat, before Tyler then called through the crowd of children and adults who had approached, and Ivan could only watch as his coat became more and more laden with mud. "Well played, Sir Tyler, well played indeed," Ivan cleared his throat as he met Tyler's gaze. Tyler bowed his head and strode off, flicking his cape as Ivan followed.

"What...just happened?" Shelby asked, looking to the others. They all just shrugged.

"Being a Ranger just isn't easy," Spencer laughed, and Ari nodded in agreement. They looked around as a red fog started to fill the air, along with a nasty smell that made them grimace.

"This fog is...red?" Shelby frowned as they all gathered together again, looking around.

"Anyone see where it's coming from?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah, I think it's coming from the parking lot," Riley frowned, seeing the fog was much thicker by the cars.

"Check it out," Kendall told them quietly, not wanting to catch attention. Spencer followed, and Ari, Arianna and Kendall exchanged concerned looks. The Rangers moved as inconspicuously as they could, before Shelby let out a shout.

"Look, monsters!" she pointed to Wrench and the alien he was accompanied by.

"Halt scoundrels!" Ivan shouted as the two let out cries of alarm. However, more of the thick red fog began to pour from the colourful tubing on the alien's back, and he laughed.

"Smell you later!" he taunted as they vanished in the fog. Both Tyler and Ivan ran into the thick of it, and began to shout.

"Guys!" Teddie called, and coughed as she inhaled the foul smelling gas. Tyler and Ivan began to shout, seeming to be fighting the monster.

"Hey, Tyler, Ivan?" Chase shouted to the pair.

"I've got you, you menace!" Ivan declared, and with a roll of his eyes, Spencer snapped his fingers. The fog cleared, and Ivan realised he had Tyler pinned to the ground, his arm twisted behind his back. He stood up, releasing the Red Ranger, bringing the sleeve of Tyler's jacket with him.

"Great, you ruined my jacket!" Tyler scowled.

"Well actually, it suits you rather well now," Ivan replied snidely.

"Okay, when you two can stop this rivalry you have for a moment, you might want to take a look around and see where the monsters went," Spencer rolled his eyes. They did so, and realised that both monsters were gone.

"There they are! Come on!" Riley spotted the two running into the cover of the bushes.

"Whatever happened to teamwork," Chase rolled his eyes as he brushed past the pair of bickering Rangers.

Smokescreen let out a cry as he watched Wrench fly off in the pod, leaving him behind.

"Being a leader is so lonely..." he sighed, turning around. He let out a cry when he saw the Rangers standing behind him.

"Halt, toad-wart!" Ivan declared, knocking Tyler out of the way. "Running from us will not be your salvation," he warned.

"Whatever that means," Tyler rolled his eyes.

"Mind if I join you for this one?" Spencer asked, glancing to the others.

"Sure, we could use the help considering," Riley rolled his eyes. Spencer grinned, grabbing his Morpher hooked onto his belt.

"It's Morph-"

"Put a little bit of pizazz into it Sir Tyler!" Ivan cut off Tyler off, and Chase lowered his Charger with a sigh. Hearing a beep, Shelby quickly grabbed her communicator.

'Did you find anything?' Kendall asked.

"Uh, everything's under control, Ms. Morgan," Shelby smiled at her. Both Spencer and Chase snorted.

"Okay, morons back. Chase," Spencer called to his brother, who nodded.

"It's Morphin' Time! Dino Charger!"

"Ready!" the others called as they raised theirs. Tyler and Ivan shot each other dirty looks as they followed suit.

"ENERGISE, HA! UNLEASH THE POWER!"

"SPD, EMERGENCY!" Spencer Morphed into his gold and black suit, his arms folded.

"This what you wanted?" Tyler challenged Smokescreen.

"One against...nine?!" the alien cried out in horror.

"Tyrannosaurus Rex, Power Ranger Red!"

"Parasaur, Power Ranger Black!

"Stegosaurus, Power Ranger Blue!"

"Velociraptor, Power Ranger Green!"

"Compsognathus, Power Ranger White!"

"Triceratops, Power Ranger Pink!"

"Scelidosaurus, Power Ranger Forest!"

"Pterodactyl, Power Ranger Gold!"

"Dinosaur might, ready to fight! Power Rangers Dino Charge!"

"Vivix!" Smokescreen yelled, calling on the footsoldiers who burst into view. "Attack!" he ordered, and the Rangers ran to meet them. "Two Gold Rangers?!" he demanded as he blocked Spencer's punch.

"Different team. Sorry dude," Spencer replied, flipping backwards and grabbing his sword. "Just here helping out," he then found himself surrounded by Vivix, and Tyler took over fighting the monster as Spencer gave a small laugh. "It's been a while since I've fought more than common criminals," he mused, and a golden aura surrounded him. "Call to the beast inside! Let loose the bull!" he released his Animal Spirit, who rose from the young man's form with a bellow.

"Whoa," Olivia gasped as she saw the bull send Vivix flying in all directions. "That's so cool!" she couldn't help but laugh as the bull was unrivalled by them. Glancing over, Chase rolled his eyes.

"Call to the beast inside! Uncage the Kiwi!" his own black and gold cloaked bird spirit jumped from Chase and attacked each of the Vivix around him. It jumped from one to the other, throwing them back.

"Ohh, someone's jealous," Teddie sang as she danced past him. Chase felt his face warm, and he shot Teddie a glare she couldn't see.

"Don't be ridiculous," he bit, and Teddie laughed as a while and green aura began to swirl around her. She spun in moves that almost seemed like dancing, dodging the Vivix around her.

"Call to the beast inside! Uncage the Nightingale!" Teddie called on her own as well, and the two birds moved in perfect unison, with Chase's Kiwi jumping through the air as Teddie's Nightingale flew around him. They cut through each of the Vivix, while Chase used his blaster and Teddie used her sabre to cut through any left over.

"Okay, I wanna be able to do that," Shelby complained as she saw the birds.

"Me too," Olivia sighed. Spencer glanced around to see Ivan and Tyler finally working together to take down Smokescreen, before tossing him through the air.

"Let's finish him as a team!" Tyler called as they lined up. As the Dino Rangers each attacked Smokescreen, making him cry out as each hit landed, Spencer suddenly staggered, putting a hand to his helmet.

Wrench and Smokescreen peered out at the Rangers as they stood outside the museum, distracted by Ivan's grand arrival on horseback, clad in shining armour.

"Go plant the bomb," Wrench ordered the alien who carried a large round bomb in his hands.

"First, let me fart out some fog!" Smokescreen decided. Wrench slapped him over the head as he went to produce the red fog, making him yelp.

"No! They'll see us, you nitwit! I'll tell you when to fart," the robotic servant to Sledge snapped at him.

"Hey, I'm in charge! I'll fart when I want to," Smokescreen argued back, shoving the bomb back into Wrench's hands. "Now, go put this in the Red Ranger's car," he ordered.

"Me? You go!" Wrench protested, trying to force Smokescreen to take the bomb back, but the alien turned away.

"Come on, we don't have all day!" he reminded Wrench of their short time limit.

"Okay, okay," the robot gave in, and sneaked over to Tyler's car, hiding it under a blanket in the back of the jeep. "Better I do it myself anyway. That idiot would only stick up the operation. This will blow up the Rangers, and everything in sight!" Wrench declared with a laugh.

"Spencer!" the Gold SPD Ranger managed to pull himself together as Teddie ran over to him. "What's wrong?" she asked, worried as he straightened up.

"It's a diversion!" the others looked around at his declaration. "There's a bomb back at the park, in your jeep!" he warned.

"What?" Tyler frowned.

"How could you know that?" Smokescreen demanded.

"I'll go back and warn Kendall and mum, you guys take this creep out," Spencer told them as he demorphed. "Better you work together for this," he fixed his glasses, and turned, streaking off in a flash of light.

"He's so cool," Olivia and Shelby chimed together. Tyler rolled his eyes.

"Let's take this creep out, and go help Spencer!" Tyler told them.

"I'm with you Red Ranger!" Ivan nodded beside him.

"Dino Charger ready!" they called on the Dino Spike as Ivan used a Dino Charger on his sabre.

"Red Ranger launch!"

"Dino Spike, Final Strike!"

"Lightning Final Strike!" the two Rangers collided with Smokescreen with their powerful finishers, and they landed lightly behind him.

"I feel a bit foggy!" Smokescreen wailed as he fell over, exploding.

"We have to stop that bomb, now!" Shelby told the others.

"You get one bone, not a whole dinosaur!" Kendall called after a boy as she saw him rush off with multiple bones, and Ari shook her head with a chuckle.

"She's really invested in this," Arianna commented, sitting beside her.

"It's as important to her as the kids," Ari nodded with a smile, but it faded as she saw Spencer appear nearby, stopping his Ninja Streak. She pushed herself up, walking over to him. "What's going on?" she asked him quietly.

"We have a problem in the back of Tyler's jeep," he whispered to her. "The Rangers are fighting off an alien at the moment, but he's planted a bomb there," Spencer warned her. Ari's eyes widened, and she glanced around to where Kendall was still struggling to keep control of the children.

"Let's take a look," she told him, and the pair jogged over to the jeep. Spencer found the round bomb under the blanket as he'd seen in his vision, and cursed as he saw the timer.

"Nowhere near enough time to evacuate the crowd," he murmured as he glanced over at the families having fun.

"Watch the language Spence," Ari warned him lightly as she studied it.

"Really? We're dealing with a bomb built with alien technology that's going to explode in less than four minutes, and you're telling me off for my language?" Spencer grumbled.

"Of course. I'm your mother. And it's not going to explode here," Ari told him confidently.

"I know that confidence as good and all, but that kinda just sounds like blind faith," Spencer sighed.

The ground shook as Smokescreen suddenly returned, growing much larger.

"We have to get bigger!" Koda declared.

"I'll pilot the Megazord and handle Smokescreen, the rest of you, help Spencer defuse that bomb," Tyler ordered quickly. They nodded, and Shelby, Teddie and Koda summoned their Zords to help Tyler out.

"Come on," Chase called, and they started running back to the park as Tyler faced off against Smokescreen.

About halfway there, Ivan stopped, looking back up to the Megazord battle. Tyler used the Compo Blade to fight off Smokescreen, and Ivan hummed.

"I have an idea," he ran off in another direction, leaving the others to return to the bomb.

"What about magic?" Spencer asked as he and Ari worked on a way to defuse the bomb.

"It's alien technology," Ari reminded him. "I have no idea if it'll work, or make things even worse. I'd need longer than we have to figure it out," she sighed. She glanced over to where Kendall had tried to stop two boys from sword-fighting with the shovels, and ended up defending herself from their attack.

"Hey!" they looked up as the other Rangers returned. "Tyler and Ivan are fighting Smokescreen, what do we do?" Teddie asked.

"First, let's move it away from the crowd. I don't know how big the explosion is going to be, but best get it away from them. Spencer, go help Kendall so nobody notices this problem," Ari told him, and Spencer frowned.

"Why me?" he complained. Ari rolled her eyes.

"You're SPD, you should know how to avoid a panic," she told him, and pushed him towards the park. "Go," Ari repeated. With a groan, Spencer hurried back over to the park.

"Careful," Shelby gulped as Riley and Ari carefully lifted the bomb from the back of the jeep. They moved away carefully, trying not to trigger the bomb early, before hearing a noise.

"Look out!" Olivia cried, and the magna beam slammed into the bomb, forcing the two to let it go as it grew to a much larger size. "Now what?" the Forest Ranger put her hands to her mouth.

"We have to evacuate," Chase shook his head, glancing to Spencer as he disarmed the two boys attacking Kendall. Sensing the problem, Spencer looked around, and his eyes widened. He then cleared his throat, lifting his Morpher.

"Attention everyone!" his voice dripped with authority, and made everyone look around. "My name's Spencer Bly, I'm with SPD," he announced, raising his Morpher to the air to show his credentials. "We've come across a problem, and I'm afraid I need you all to leave the park immediately," Spencer ordered, and the families immediately began packing up, grabbing their children and hurrying to leave. "Thank you!" he shouted as Kendall watched him, looking impressed.

"Okay," she started once the people were gone. "What is going on? I thought you had things handled?" Kendall shot Shelby a look.

"That was before we found the bomb. Which is now a little too big to hide," Teddie shrugged.

"Tyler," Chase contacted the Red Ranger. "We've got less than a minute on the clock, and the bomb is too big to move," he warned.

'We're on our way!' Tyler responded. Hearing a shriek, they looked up to see the Megazord, combined with the Ptera Zord, grab the bomb from the ground.

"A new Megazord combo, nice," Ari nodded, impressed.

"Where are they going?" Olivia frowned as they watched the Megazord fly off with the bomb. Teddie couldn't help but laugh.

"I think I know where they're leaving it," she pointed up to the sky. The others caught on after, and started to laugh. Before long, the Megazord flew back into view, and they waved to their friends, glad they were starting to work together.

Back at the museum, the Rangers sat in the cafe, watching as Tyler and Ivan bonded by taking pictures together, with Ivan in a new coat that Tyler had bought him to replace the one ruined by mud.

"I think I liked it better when they didn't get along," Shelby rolled her eyes.

"I just can't believe the knight who's 800 years old is taking selfies," Olivia giggled.

"Thank you, Spencer, but I believe we have all we need here," they looked around as Kendall and Spencer walked in. Spencer fixed his glasses as he watched her, and she smiled at him.

"Notice how that smile's a little warmer than what we get?" Shelby muttered to Teddie, who grinned back at her.

"Oh I've noticed it from the moment he got here," she whispered back.

"I could tell from your lab. I'm not sure if I should introduce you to Bridge or not, he'd go nuts to see your lab," Spencer chuckled. "It's amazing. I have no doubt you have the tech side of this battle covered. But if you need any help, we're just a call away," he told Kendall, offering his hand to her.

"Thank you," Kendall paused before taking it and shaking it. "Are you going now?" she asked.

"Well, Sky never told me when I had to come back, I was thinking I might take a few days to relax here," Spencer grinned at her, before his Morpher beeped, and his smile faded. "It's like he has me on surveillance constantly," he complained, lifting his Morpher. "How can I help?" he responded.

'Spencer, why am I getting reports about a massive bomb threatening to blow up Amber Beach?' Sky's testy voice echoed out of the Morpher, and Spencer paused. 'And why are you doing evacuations? Your job was literally to make sure they didn't need help,' Sky reminded him, and Spencer was aware of his face going red as the Rangers at the table did a poor job of hiding their laughter.

"Yes, Sir," Spencer always found it weird calling Sky Sir, but as the Commander, it was protocol. At least when on duty. "But circumstances can change and-"

'Spencer found an opportunity to be the hero! Pay up losers!' he scowled at Annie's cheer.

'I knew he was gonna do it!' Bridge added in.

'Yeah, but we're not betting with a guy who sees the future Bridge,' Z pointed out. They quietened down as Sky cleared his throat.

'You best get back here to brief us on everything Spencer. No detours or surprise vacations' Sky told him firmly. Spencer groaned and Kendall turned her head to hide her amused smile.

"Yes sir..." he ended the communication. "How we saved the world from Grumm is beyond me," he muttered to himself, and hooked his Morpher back onto his jeans. "Well, until next time then, Ms. Morgan, and like I said, call if you need anything," he shook her hand again, and both lingered for a moment before he looked away, his cheeks warming. He then glanced to the team sitting smirking at the pair. "Great job out there today guys, the planet's in good hands," Spencer told them, and they waved, calling out goodbye as the SPD Ranger walked out.

"So..." Teddie hummed, her arms folded. "Not letting him call you Kendall, either, Ms. Morgan?" she asked the scientist innocently. Kendall felt her face go warm as she saw the look the girl was giving her.

"Oh good grief," she muttered, turning on her heel and striding off, pretending like she didn't hear the laughter behind her.

Let me know what you think!
