Prologue: Children
Carter Grayson and his beautiful wife, Dana Mitchell- Grayson were sitting side by side on the comfy, yet elegant couches of their classic style living room. They were flipping through old and memorable photo albums. The albums contained photos from Carter and Dana's first date to photos of them holding their daughter in their arms. They were thinking about how young they looked on those pictures, almost like love- struck teenagers on their first date.
Suddenly, their laughter and the words that were coming out of their mouths stopped. Silence fell all over the room, not even a single sound would be produced. Dana shifted her gaze to the photo of her daughter. She passed her hand slowly through the picture, she then felt someone gripping her hand tightly, it was Carter's hand gripping hers. Carter also looked at the picture, a beautiful baby girl in the arms of her lovable mother and father. Carter's eyes turned to face Dana.
"What are you thinking about, Dana?"
"About our daughter, Sydney." Dana confessed
"What about her?" Carter questioned his wife
"You heard what Cruger said, Carter. " Dana paused. "She is going to develop her powers anytime soon, and I'm... worried."
"What are you worried about? You know that Kat can give her a medical exam anytime."
"I know that and I can Syd a medical exam anytime. In case you have forgotten, I am a doctor." She snapped and then sighed, " I'm just worried about someone wanting to hurt our baby, even more importantly about her joining SPD."
"She is safe, Cruger said that he would provide us with protection the moment Syd discovered her powers." Carter said and then pulled his wife into a warm embrace.
They both then heard footsteps that came from the white marble staircase. They were soft, but loud enough to be heard all around the house. Carter and Dana walked slowly to the staircase. The figure was revealed to be in fact, 7- year- old, Sydney Grayson coming down the elegant staircase. She looked beautiful as always, her blond hair pulled back into half a pony tail, always wearing pink dresses and shirts and elegant flats that graced her feet. Today, she had chosen a white sun dress with light pink accents and a pair of simple white flats. Syd ran over to her father and mother's embrace and gave them both a kiss on the cheek.
"You look beautiful, Princess." Carter told Syd
"Thank you Daddy." She said in a peppy voice her shiny blue eyes shifted to her mother "Mommy, when is Sky going to arrive?" she whimpered
"Don't be impatient, Princess. Sky is arriving in fifteen minutes, you know he lives 1 hour away from here." Dana scolded her
"Besides, Aunt Jen, Uncle Wes and Sky are going to stay a few nights here. Their house is being remodeled." Carter reminded Syd and Dana. By house he actually meant mansion, the Collins- Tate family were extremely wealthy. Syd's family was also wealthy, their mansion was not bigger than Sky's but she loved it there.
'Ding- Dong' The ringing of the doorbell filled the home with joy and excitement. Syd rushed over to the grand entrance and tried to reach the metal knob on the front door. Seeing no way to reach the door on her petite frame, Syd stood on her tiptoes and turned the knob slowly until it finally opened, revealing three of her favorite people in the whole world. On contrast to them, the Tate-Collins family had brown eyes and and chocolate brown hair, except for Sky who had a mix of both his father's and mother's hair and deep blue eyes. Syd rushed over to 9- year-old Sky Tate-Collins and hugged him tightly. The hug ended and the kids' eyes met.
"Hi Syd." Sky said sheepishly
"Hi Sky." Syd asked, she moved on to greet her aunt and uncle whom she loved.
"Hello Syd, where is your mommy?" Jen questioned her
"She's at the kitchen, Aunt Jenny." Syd responded
"I'm going inside Wes." Her gaze flipped to Sky. "Now you two go play outside." Syd smiled
"You two behave well and play nicely, young man." Wes scolded his son
"Yes sir." Sky saluted with the classic SPD salute
"Let's go play outside in the yard." Syd ordered
"OK, but I will choose the game." Both kids rushed rapidly to the back door and opened the sliding glass door. The kids went down the stone steps and ran over to the bright green grass. Sky and Syd settled down and sat down at the same time.
"What do you want to play, Sky?"
"I want to play Power Rangers and I'm going to be the Red Ranger, just like my father." Sky said proudly
"And I'm going to be the Pink Ranger, just like my mommy." Syd mumbled
"OK, you will be captured by the monster and I'll rescue you." He ordered
The game continued for hours and soon the night fell over New Tech City and the kids kept playing until dinner.
