Chapter 2, Part 1- Can she be trusted


Veronica sighed and tossed them down before raising her arms slowly, just her luck. She watched as the Rangers powered down around her and wanted to slap the smirk off the blue ones face. They were about to cuff her when the green one spoke up. He was a little cutie, a bit weird but cute none the less

"Wait don’t"

"Bridge?"

"She helped me"

"Then its a trick"

"No Jack, look at her face"

Veronica looked puzzled and moved her hand to touch her cheek lightly and for the first time winced at the pain it caused. Not caring about their weapons she stood to her feet and on shaky legs shoved past the pink and yellow and moved towards one of the windows. She had almost reached it when she stumbled again and pitched forwards only to be saved by am arm around her waist. She looked over her shoulder and came face to face with Bridge

"Lemme Help"

Not giving her a chance to argue other wise, Bridge moved her over to the glass, and Veronica let out a choked cry at the site of her face. Savanah had not roughed her up a bit she had gone to town on her, she had a swollen lip and a black eye not to mention one hell of a bruise on her left temple, no doubt from where Savanah had kicked her. She wanted to cry. Tilting her head slightly she caught site of the dried blood and tried to wipe it off, when she couldn’t she started to become upset, and froze when the hand around her waist contracted gently. Back at the other group Z leaned towards Jack

"What in the world is he doing?"

"I have no Idea Z"

"I have some cover-up if she needs it"

"Syd shut the hell up"

"Excuse me Skyl Tate, just because some of us actually want to look attractive and not like we rolled out of a factory is no reason to get snappy with me"

"She’s giving me another headache"

"Syd, Sky cool it we need to find out what all this is about, he doesn’t even know her"

The three nodded in agreement with Jack, but none of them actually new what to do about it. back over by the window Veronica slowly pulled away from Bridge who blushed a bit before speaking

"Name's Bridge"

"I caught it earlier"

"You're Veronica right?"

"Yes...Why are you helping me"

"Your innocent"

"WHAT?!"

Bridge turned to look at his friends and Veronica neither said anything or looked at them she just looked back in the window at herself

"I checked her there's no way she’s as bad as Morgana made her sound"

"She attacked us Bridge"

"I know that Sky but I checked her Aura she’s innocent"

"Bullshit"

Syd looked between Bridge and Sky and for once actually saw what appeared to be anger on Bridge's normally happy face, if the two of them kept at it like this there might actually be a fight

"We could always just check you know"

Bridge turned to look at her and nodded his head before glaring at Sky, He turned back to face Veronica and unsnapped his morpher from his belt and held it up

"I’m sorry but I have to show them, Veronica...."

"Daniels"

"Veronica Daniels, you are hereby charged with crimes against the galaxy"

While they waited for her judgment Veronica never once looked up and when the morpher showed a blue circle four of the five rangers blinked in surprise. Bridge grinned and snapped it closed before putting it back on his belt and taking a step towards her

"Why don’t you come with us?"

Veronica ran her gaze over the other four standing their, the red one looked confused, the pink one had a smile, the yellow one looked over at the red one and that blue bastard was glaring at her. She knew she was here to be a "mole" but she didn’t want to this was not what she had signed up for

"No thank you"

With that she moved and picked up her weapons and started to walk away from them she was about to turn the corner when she felt a hand on her elbow and found Bridge there

"You have no where else to go"

"I’m not your problem"

"But...I’m just trying to help"

"Then do yourself a favor and forget about me"

She leaned forward and kissed his cheek before stepping back and blinking out of sight with the snap of her fingers. Bridge spun around for some sign of her and when he couldn’t see her he slowly brought his hand up to touch his cheek and looked over at his friends. Syd walked over and patted his arm lightly before dragging Sky behind her back towards the jeep. He could hear them argue the entire way there. Jack and Z passed him next but neither said anything and they joined Syd and Sky at the Jeep before jumping in. Bridge watched them drive off and felt a small pain in his chest. They still never believed him


Veronica sat in the middle of the woods with her knees to her chest. She was confused, Savanah and Morgana expected her to be a mole yet they wouldn’t tell her the plan. She felt lost she should never have agreed to this but she hadn't wanted to send Savanah off to earth alone. She rested her head against the top of her knees and did something she hadn’t done in several years. She cried silent tears. Her head snapped up when she heard the sound of someone approaching and quickly stood up when Savanah walked into the clearing a sneer on her face

"Why in the fuck did you tell them no Veronica, that plan was for you to GO WITH THEM!"

"I don’t even no the plan how to do expect for me to follow it"

"Let me make it very clear to you, you will do whatever it is that we tell you"

"No...I shouldn't have come I don’t want to be here"

"To late, now you go back and flirt with the green one. He's your way into the academy. Say you want to help stop us he's already proved that your the innocent party. Remember dear sister you've been forced into this hard life"

"Savanah..."

"ENOUGH get back there he's looking for you"

"I said.."

Veronica's head snapped back as Savanah punched her, stumbling back and landing on her knees she glared up at her sister her blonde hair falling in her face. She was already tired of this. Standing she pulled out her fans and snapped them open. Savanah laughed at her and pulled out her sword

"You don’t stand a chance"

"For once stop talking"

She snapped the fans open and charged at her sister, with a groan she spun away and her eyes narrowed, before crossing her fans like an x and pushing them forward a purple like color flew out of them and towards Savanah, easily she moved out of the way and flipped over the top of Veronica before slamming her foot into the middle of her back. Veronica pitched forward and Savanah grabbed her by the hair

"If you wont go back yourself, I will take you back"

The next thing Veronica knew she was being tossed into someone and fell to the ground landing on top of a solid body, when she looked back over her shoulder Savanah was waving to her she went to push herself off of whoever it was she landed on when she felt a hand on the small of her back keeping her in place. She slowly looked up and found herself eye to eye with the green ranger

"You ok?"

"I’m fine, let go of me"

"Oh, I..sorry"

Veronica covered a smile when he blushed and didn’t let go of her, rolling her eyes she reached behind her and lifted his hand up before standing to her feet and holding out a hand to help him. Bridge reached up and grabbed and she tugged lightly pulling him up to stand directly in front of her

"Glad I could break your fall"

"You're odd"

"You should come back to the academy with me meet the boss man"

"Really its ok, I don’t want to"

"Why"

"Because I don’t"

"That’s not really a reason"

"Are you always this annoying?"

"So they tell me"

Veronica tried hard to not smile but she couldn’t help it, she sighed and planted her hands on her hips before tilting her head to look at him

"Your not going to leave me alone till I tell you yes are you"

"Most likely, come on you'll like it there"

"Why do you care?"

"No offence but you look like hell and where else do you have to go?"

Chapter 2, Part 2- Battle of the sexes


Syd was laid out on the couch, she was still in her uniform and had a book in her hand she had stopped reading it a long time ago and instead her gaze and kept wandering over to Sky. He annoyed the hell out of her. That smug ass look of his and the way he treated everyone around him. She knew it was just from how he grew up but it drove her fucking insane, but that wasn't the worst of it. The worst part was that she liked it, a lot. With a sigh she tossed her book down and stood to her feet. She was still mad at him. He had been a complete jerk to Bridge and that Veronica chick. She glared at him as she walked by and he didn’t look up once. She punched in a drink combination to the food processor and glared at his back she almost said something when Z walked threw the door

"Hey you two, Bridge back yet?"

"No he's still playing hide and go seek with the criminal"

"She was innocent and you know it Sky"

"Pipe it Blondie"

Z watched as Syd's eyes narrowed and she slammed her drink down, she had noticed that her best friend tended to get into a foul mood after being around Sky for long periods of time and she was starting to get a few ideas as to why. When Syd went to lunge at his back Z quickly grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back towards her

"Chill Syd, has not worth it"

"He's being an ass"

"Sky Tate is ALWAYS and ass"

"He really upset Bridge, we're supposed to be a team and all he knows how to do is insult people I’m tired of it"

Syd's head snapped around when she heard Sky laughing over at the table, and her easy going demeanor snapped. Grabbing her drink she stomped over to him and tipped it right over his head, unlike the time they had been watching the diamonds it was not water she was pouring on him. He sputtered and jerked to his feet. If Z was any good at reading the looks on people’s faces he was ready to strangle her

"Have you lost your fucking mind Blondie?"

"Oh my god!" Syd said in mock surprise "Cursing inside the academy that HAS to be against a rule"

"Sky, Syd just calm down"

"Stay out of this Z; this is between Blondie and Me"

"I’m shaking you arrogant asshole, I’m sick and tired of how you treat people"

"Then do something about it Syd, but tell me what are you really going to do? Shop me to death?"

When that smirk slid into place Syd lost it and drew back her hand before slapping him hard across the face, Z's mouth dropped open and Sky's eyes went wide. The few others that were in the room fell silent. Z's hand slowly covered her mouth and she backed towards the door to get Jack if needed. Syd glared up at Sky and brushed her hair off her shoulder before letting him have it

"Listen here you over grown ape; I don’t know who in the hell you think you are but you crossed the line a long ass time ago. You can go ahead and think you're better then us I don’t really care but I will be dammed if you treat the rest of us like shit. Bridge is supposed to be your FRIEND and all you did was upset him earlier and me I’m your team mate if you know what that means but I doubt it all you care about is Sky Tate "master" of the universe. Well you listen here you can take that ego of yours and cram it straight up your ass. Its a good thing you like talking to yourself because I will be fucked if I talk to you again anytime soon now if you don’t mind I’m going to go find Bridge and help him like a GOOD person would, as for you. Go fuck your hand"

With that said Syd turned on her heel and stormed out of the room the dorm snapping closed behind her, Sky could still feel the sting of her slap on his cheek and turned with wide eye's to Z

"What in the hell just happened?"

"When did she learn to talk like that?"
