Katherine Hillard was not giving up the power because she was afraid.
Why would she be?
It was just fighting space pirates, space witches and space robots on a daily basis, and not at all, knowing that being a superhero came with mortal peril.
Who was she kidding? She was totally afraid, all the time.
Either being crushed inside her zord by a two storeyed building sized monster or stabbed by a golden monkey or trampled to death by faceless minions of clay or metal... Or being a victim of another brainwashing spell and forced to fight against her friends...
Butthatwas not why she was ready to move on.
She was just tired.
Tired of giving everything to the world, to humanity and being subjected to ridicule and scorn in return, both in her ranger and civilian persona.
Kimberly made it look all so easy... The pink ranger, feminist icon, beacon of hope and love.
And her... What was she supposed to be? Who was Katherine Hillard?
She was just the replacement.
Tommy's sudden attraction to her had seemed to deter her for the moment, but that was all it was. He didn't love her. She was no Kimberly.
Katherine pursed her lips.
It was time for a new start.
Maybe in a new city, or maybe back in Sydney... Just away from all this.
