Chapter Text
It’s your typical day at the headquarters of the S.P.D. Rangers. Commander Cruger is working on something in the briefing room with the assistance of Kat Manx. The rangers are in the lounge. Jack, Sky, and Bridge are playing lightball while Syd watches, silently cheering for Sky. Z is reading while sitting on the couch next to Syd. The ball flies all around the room, then Sky tosses it, managing to hit Jack. The ball then flies and hits Z’s book. It startles her and she drops the book. The book promptly closes, Z loosing her place.
“Jack! Sky! Really?” Z protests and retrieves her book.
“Sorry about that Z!” Jack apologizes and sits on the couch.
A chuckle is heard, which comes from Sky’s direction.
“Oh so you think this is funny Sky?” Z challenges.
Sky shrugs. “Sort of”
“What would be worse, eating ham salad everyday or never eating chocolate again?” Bridge says, clearly off on a tangent again.
Everybody in the room looks over at him and answers with the same response, “Never eating chocolate again.”
Bridge looks surprised that everybody said the same thing, but goes back to thinking.
“Oh and Sky, you said you found that one thing funny….I bet I could beat you all by myself.” Z says, confidently.
“Oh you do, do you? I could beat you before you could say ‘ham salad’” Sky retorts.
Syd looks over at Jack with a grin. “His ego’s gonna get the better of him.”
Jack nods in agreement.
Z slips a glove on and picks up the ball while Sky adjusts his glove.
Bridge appears conflicted, knowing he’d have to go against the winner. If it was Sky, he’d have no problem, but if it was Z….let’s just say he didn’t want to go against her.
Z and Sky hurl the ball back and forth at each other for awhile dodging and catching the ball. Z then sees her shot and proclaims “Ham salad!” Sky appears confused and the ball smacks him.
Jack and Syd burst out laughing, Bridge chuckles, Sky looks ashamed, and Z bows and takes off the glove.
Bridge laughs. “Guess you shouldn’t have laughed at her Sky. She’s tougher than she looks."
Sky grins. “Guess not. But you have to go against her now."
Z and Bridge exchange looks, neither of them wanting to go through with it. Jack, Sky, and Syd grin at each other knowingly. However, Bridge and Z are saved by the alarm going off. Kat’s voice coming over the loudspeaker. “Morgana’s escaped, Rangers, and she’s on the run. She’s heading for the park. Be careful. You never know what she'll do.” Her voice stops and Cruger’s is heard. “You guys are to split up. Landors, you and RIC will work together. Tate, you’re with Drew. Carson, you’re with Delgado. Be careful but track her down.”
Jack looks at his team. “You guys ready?”
“Ready!” The team replies.
“S.P.D. Emergency!” There are a bunch of colors that flash as the rangers morph. They split up and run out into the city.
