It means a lot to me. I hope you enjoy the chapter!

"So, how long exactly are you staying?" Mia asks.

"Just until you get back on your feet," Terry answers. She raises an eyebrow and he continues, "metaphorically speaking, of course." Mia rolls her eyes. Her little brother had surprised his sister after pizza by announcing that he would be staying with her and the others at the Shiba house. At first she was excited about having him around, but after a few days it is getting old. "Why do you ask?" he adds.

"Some people don't like being baby sat," she curtly replies, "especially by their little brother!" He smiles, ruffles her hair, and walks out. Mia purses her lips and pouts for a moment reminiscing about the days when she could just knock that pesky smirk off of his face with one swift kick. She wheels into the hallway when she hears in the dojo all of the other rangers, Terry, and Ji talking in hushed voices. The sliding door is shut, which is odd, because they never do that. Ji doesn't allow it. She peeks through a crack in the door and listens to what they are saying.

Jayden in his authoritative voice says, "Terry, I can not figure you out. You should not have the same amount of symbol power as Mia, but you should be able to at least morph. I know you put off training once you started college, but it still should not be this bad. You have so little symbol power in you it's like you aren't even related to Mia. What is going on?"

"I can't be a ranger," Terry mumbles.

"What did you day?" Jayden asks.

Terry sighs and runs his hands through his hair. Then he looks and meets Jayden's steady gaze. Frustrated he yells, "I can't be a ranger, okay? I always trained just as hard as Mia, but symbol power never worked for me. I don't know why, but I do know I can't be a ranger because I can't use symbol power. I never have been able to and I never will. For Pete's sake, I don't have enough symbol power to make a gust of wind that could move a hair on your head let alone morph!"

"You idiot," Mia whispers, "he physically can't do symbol power." Jayden hears this and walks over to the sliding door. Before Mia can get away, he slides it open and grabs her chair. He pulls her inside of the room where all of the other rangers stand with Ji and her brother.

"What do you mean, he 'can't do symbol power?'" Jayden asks.

"His asthma," she sighs. He can't do symbol power because our family's element is air and if his body isn't getting enough air, then it won't let him use up more of the precious air he already has. Mom never told you because she knew you too well. If we told you that you couldn't do something, you would keep trying harder until you got it. You would have killed yourself, Terry."

"Well, isn't that great!" Mike sighs, "Now, we are down a ranger and we've wasted a whole month on this guy who will never be able to be a ranger?"

"Amigo," Antonio interrupts, "are you sure there is no way I could build some sort of a special chair or something? I mean seriously! Terry can't fight, but with her experience, I think Mia could figure it out."

"Ji and I already discussed that," Jayden replies, shaking his head, "There is no possible way for her to go into battle and come out alive. She can't push her chair while holding a sword, the recoil of any spin attack would send her flying backwards, and what if she falls out? She'd be a sitting duck! I haven't even mentioned the fact that she is eye level with the average mooger's sword. She would get decapitated!"

"Jayden, I could figure it out!" Mia retorts, "Maybe I don't use a sword, I use something else. I've seen videos of wheelchair sports and I think that I…"

"No," he interrupts, "Mia, you are one of the bravest people I know, and one of the most stubborn. I know you will try, but as your friend. I refuse to send you out on a suicide mission!" Antonio shakes his head in agreement. Jayden rubs his eyes and says, "Listen, I know this is going to be hard on all of us, but we all know that you won't tell us if you have any doubts that you could do it. You would go right out there and get yourself killed!"

"I would…"

"Just look at the past few months as an example!" he exclaims, "You took a hit for me and ended up in the hospital. Then, you go on an errand to help me out and you get thrown off of a bridge. I am not letting anything happen to you again!"

"Jayden," Mia coos, "this is not your fault."

He storms out of the room in a huff. Antonio runs after him. The other rangers and Ji awkwardly file out of the area, leaving the two siblings alone. Terry leans against the wall and then slinks down to the ground. Mia wheels over to him and transfers to the ground so she leans up against him.

"Why didn't you tell me that I can't do symbol power?" he whispers.

Mia sighs, "Being a ranger never was your destiny. Mom and I wanted you to focus on what you could do, and not what you can't. There are plenty of people in the world telling us what we can't do. Our family needs to tell us what we can."

Terry storms out of the room, leaving Mia leaning up against the wall. She transfers back into her chair and wheels out of the room. She turns around and wheels into her room where her duffel bag lays open on her bed with a letter she received from her cousin, Cam, earlier that day sitting next to it.

Mia,

I am so glad to hear that you have finally been released from inpatient rehab. I understand that your house is not accessible as of right now and I wanted to offer you another option. Last summer, the previous head of the Wind Ninja Academy had stayed with us over the summer. Like you, he is now bound to a wheelchair, so we built ramps all over campus. There no longer is a single place on campus that can not be accessed by a wheelchair. You are always welcome to stay here with us for as long as you need. Marah and Kapri have been taking cooking classes at our local community college and want to try some new recipes out on you. Dad says they take after you in their cooking skills. If you need me to pick you up, I can. Next week there will be a conference of heads of all of the ninja academies in Panorama, and Dad and I are going. We can pick you up afterwards. I hope you are doing well, talk to you soon!

Sincerely,

Cam

Mia stares at her bag and the letter longingly. She can not cook, because she can not reach the stove. She can not clean, because of her clunky chair getting in the way. There are really no other chores to do aside from that and the ones that are left are still just out of the realm of possibility. However, every time she goes to pack the bag, a feeling in her gut stops her. Leaving now would be quitting, and Mia never quits.

She opens her bag, and inside finds a folded sheet of paper. She unfolds it and sees a URL printed on it in black ink. Curiosity gets the best of her, so she pulls out her laptop and types it in. When she presses enter, her mouth hangs open and her eyes widen at what she sees. The link lead her to a video of a teenage boy at a skatepark, doing tricks and flips in a wheelchair. She looks over at her bag and knocks it off the bed. She made her decision. Mia races into the hallway with her laptop resting on her legs and stops just as she reaches the entrance to the living room.

"Hey, Mike, can you come here for a second?" she innocently asks, trying not to show her excitement. The green ranger looks up from his hand held video game and walks over to her. She opens up her laptop and shows him the video. Once it finishes, she looks over to him with a childish grin and he shakes his head.

"Tell me you are not about to ask me what I think you are about to ask me," he begs.

She exclaims, "I know how I can be a ranger!"
