Review Responses (THANK YOU for taking the time too):
Never Too Late:
BearfootTruck: Hey, well deserved credit, BFT honey. Adrien had to practice with someone he trusted. Marinette knows Kagami's reaction would be thrilled. Yeah, had to play those through my head for before finally just agreeing to the Cat Noir and Ladybug successors. Thanks for the Favorite here.
RonaldM40196867: Sweet. I am passionate about my Adrigami and Miraculous so of course. Thanks for the Favorite/Follow here.
Andros passes Cassie's bedroom door. Knocking on the side wall, he hears movement coming closer. The metallic sliding door swooshes open. His deep chocolate eyes stare so heartbroken into her still crying sharp dark brown ones.
"Sorry Andros, what's up? Besides the stars you know."
She giggles tho the wetness of her beautiful rosy cheeks gets to him more then her dry false cheerfulness. He frowns, clenching his hands at his sides. Silently watching her side step him. Her ravenette locks bounce actually falling loose from her messy bun. As the ink soft hair elegantly clothes her shoulder blades, he smiles at her more upset face.
"Oh man, not again. Second time today, this mess won't cooperate!"
She growls staring at her now messy free raven locks. But looking up into Andros's amused smile, brings her own back.
"Beautiful you always appear beautiful."
He states stepping closer, wiping more falling tears from her eyes. Tho she looks away, he kisses her forehead.
"Ashley told me. I'm sorry about Jetson. I won't pretend I what it's like. We don't have pets on KO-35. From what the team explained, that golden labrador was more then that. He was very smart too, I would have loved to meet him."
"Careful what you wish for Handsome. He was very protective of me. Not afraid to attack anyone or anything."
"Then we'd get along just fine."
The couple laugh heading out the Megaship to get some food in Cassie's empty stomach.
LATER THAT NIGHT ON THE MEGASHIP. . .
Andros puts in the secret code. Entering the poorly lit room where an unconscious Zhane still heals. Quickly checking the monitors, a tiny smile takes the Red leader's face.
"Zhane. . . I miss you. Come on buddy, I really want Cassie and gang to meet you."
He carefully removes his hands away from the cryogenic tube, tho it's illuminating blue light shines. Suddenly the monitors jump and beep. Andros running over to check them, the see through glass lifts it's self up. Zhane's Silver Ranger form sllooowwlly sits up in it.
"Zhane?!"
"Sorry I had to borrow your best friend's body. I'm Jetson. Zhane is fine, he is healing quickly. Should be truly awake soon I know what it feels like to lose your best friend. Cassie will always be mine."
He offers the Silver Ranger's white gloved left hand to the flabbergasted Space team leader. Andros nods taking it.
"I'll continue to protect Beautiful as you did. Thanks for Zhane's health growth."
"Thank you Andros. I was actually human for a short time. But Cassie and her friends never knew that. I called myself Jethro."
They laugh as if they were old friends. When the Silver Ranger's body starts going limp. Andros swiftly lays his body back down.
"Peace with Andros. From up there, I'm watching. You'll find Karone, she's closer then you know."
"Thank you Jetson. May your soul find peace too."
The Silver Ranger's body like a ragdoll. Carefully Andros replaced him into his cryogenic tube. Exiting it he truly feels peace that he hasn't had in years.
THE END!
