Disclaimer: We know I don't own Power Rangers and THANK GOODNESS I do not own "Turn Down For What?"! My friends think that song is the best, I think it is an overplayed headache!

A/N: On a happier note, new chapter! Thanks to everyone who read the last one! Enjoy!

"I can't believe I'm stuck in this thing for over a month!" Mia whines. As she pouts, she fiddles with her brace. In the front, it covered her stomach and came just under her breasts. Then there a bar goes from the middle of brace and connects to a triangularly shaped pad, which lays just below her collarbone. Two straps which cross in the back are attached to the pad and the back of the brace, which spans almost her entire back.

"Stop complaining or I'll make you walk!" Terry snaps. He knew from the moment he saw her x-rays she was not going to react well, yet he underestimated his sister after her seemingly mild reaction in the hospital. She barely even flinched when she saw it, but once she got into the passenger's seat of his car the complaints came flying out faster than a cheetah on steroids. "You seriously haven't shut up since the moment you sat down in this car!"

Mia purses her lips and says, "Well, Mike's going to have a field day with this, and I'm not looking forward to that!"

"Hate to break it to you, Sis, but I've seen way worse. Guess who the unlucky victim of the injuries were? Hmm...her name is on the top of my tongue. Oh, wait a minute! The victim was you!"

She sighs, "Terry, can I just vent for a minute?"

"Fine, but first," he turns on the radio which is playing "Turn Down For What?" and turns the volume up to full blast. Over the music he screams, "OKAY! GO AHEAD AND VENT!"

"WHAT?"

"EXACTLY!"

"I CAN'T HEAR..." she stops mid sentence realizing her brother's intent. She spins the dial down all the way, turning off the radio. "Not funny."

Terry rolls his eyes, "Well, if you didn't whine so much maybe I wouldn't have to do that."

"It hurts, I'm tired, and I know I'm about to enter a two months of boredom and once I get home I have to pretend that everything is okay because the others are going to have their hands full." she pouts. She takes in a few short, painful breaths and then the tears begin to roll. "I slipped up, and now the team is going to pay the price. I'm stuck on the sidelines while the nighlock are getting stronger and more clever. They should be focused on ending this war, not making up for my mistakes!" As she silently cries, she avoids her brother's eyes by glancing out the passenger's side window.

Terry, recognizing his sister's habit of carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, sighs, "Mia, it's not your fault. What were you supposed to do?"

"Not explode," she grumbles.

Terry chuckles, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure the combustions is the monster's job, but how were you planning on avoiding this one in the heat of the battle?"

"I should have paid attention. If I did, I would have been able to dodge it."

"And let Jayden blow up instead?" Terry counters. Mia is silent. He continues, "Sis, I think that if it had been Jayden instead of you, you and I would be having a very similar conversation. The world will not end because you stepped left instead of right."

"When I am fighting to save the world from annihilation, it very well could happen!" she snaps. Knowing that nothing he says will change his stubborn sister's mind, Terry takes a little detour that goes unnoticed by Mia. While he heads to his alternate destination, he tries to change the topic.

"Remember the time when we were little, and you had just learning symbol power?" he asked. She does not respond, but he continues, "You were trying to figure out the symbol for wind all on your own, and were practicing it, to show Mom. Keep in mind that this was maybe an hour or so after she told you to stick to her lesson plan for the time being and not to experiment with any symbols aside from the ones she had taught you, but you were bored with those symbols. Who wouldn't be after performing them perfectly once?" Terry chuckles at his own joke, but it goes unnoticed by his sister. With a huff, he continues, "You got this one right on the first try, but you didn't expect for there to be any recoil. You blew yourself off the ground, up onto the roof. You then rolled off and fell, breaking your arm. I will have to admit, that was the funniest fail I have ever seen!" He looks back over at his sister, who still sits silently. "Didn't you say Emily was kind of a klutz too? I mean, the wind thing was funny, but she could make a whole boulder that could pummel the whole town on accident! Also, what about Jayden? With the fire, I'm sure he's burnt his eyebrows off on more than one occasion!"

"Emily once almost flattened Kevin and Mike on accident. She was practicing the symbol for boulder. Plus Mike once made a banzai attack Ji, but that was on purpose." Mia responds in a barely audible whisper. Despite that, Terry perks up when he hears it.

"So, how about Kevin or Jayden? I bet Antonio has goofed a couple of times! He doesn't have the proper training!"

"No, nothing I've seen at least." Mia finally notices that the path has changed and asks, "Terry, where are we going?"

"In all of my years of training to be the successful doctor I am today…"

"Your an unpaid intern. Get to the point," Mia reminds him.

"Fine, Grumpy! You're down, and normally when a patient feels this way, Doctor Sam will go to this place and pick up a dozen of their freshly baked, homemade doughnuts! They are the best in town and always make people smile. Do you want to go in with me, or do you want to stay here, and I'll bring them out?" Terry asks.

Mia affords herself a small smile and replies, "I'll stay here. I'm still kinda tired, you know?" He nods and jogs inside. Mia rests her head on the window and revisits the battle in her head. Over and over again she watches, trying to figure out what she did wrong. "One step to the left? No, then Jayden would've gotten hit. Ducking to the right? No, then one of the others could've gotten hurt. At least that one would've taken a few moogers with it! Focus. Is there a symbol I should have used? I don't know one I could've written that fast. What did I do wrong?"

Terry returns with the baked goods and places the box right on Mia's lap giving her first pick. She grabs a chocolate on chocolate and begins to nibble on it. Terry grabs a regular glazed and turns on the radio, but instead of the ruckus he had playing before he switches it to another station. A slow, acoustic song plays while the two siblings sit quietly, munching on the pastries as they stare out the front window at the cars speeding away on the road across from the parking lot. They all seem to be going somewhere. No one worrying about anything but their own lives. No one concerned about the consequences that will surely follow the morning's events. No one realizing the sacrifice done in their names and no one caring one bit.

A/N: Just so you know, I was thinking of the Donjoy Dual TLSO Back Brace when describing the one that Mia is stuck in. I know someone who had to wear that one for similar reasons (No, they were not fighting nighlocks! I meant similar as in injury wise!).

I hope you guys liked this chapter! I'm building up to the big chapter where everything goes down. That will either be the next chapter or the one after that. I really hope you are liking it so far! Please Review!
