#Antonio only looks Jayden in the eye like once

[missunderstood-with-ideas]

Mia *giving a presentation to the other rangers*: welcome to my TED talk about “if these people just kissed everyone’s lives will become 100% better”

Jii: No one! It’s gross that you think people need to make out to make other people happy-

Mia *steam rolling over Jii’s opinion*: Antonio Garcia and Jayden Shiba. Just make out already! I’m tired of watching you two pine!

Legacy (Platonic)

Summary: Victory may be yours, but the Rangers see you fighting harder than ever. Now, seemingly at the end with a new family, you tell them why.

Requested by @wlwshiper

Sometimes you were glad for the helmet and spandex. It could hide the rage in your eyes, the genuine anger and fury to once again have to have the world threatened by evil. You swung your sword, used your spin sword and everything you could. And, when it came to it, put it all into that final push of your blade to bring down the latest big bad of evil.

Everyone had survived. You'd done it. You'd won.

So why didn't it feel like it?

You knew why. You knew there would be another fight. Another evil.

Another Rita. Or someone just as bad as your mother.

You left her as soon as you could. The wave seemed to cleanse her but the damage was done. You aged slower than most, so you still looked like a teen. You had the attitude to match at least.

Your mentor seemed to know. It was looks he gave you. Understanding, for some reason.

You didn't realise why until Lauren came into the scene.

Secrets. Everyone had them.

Yours was more than just a sister of course. Yours was an entire legacy, and not a pretty one.

"Why aren't you joining them?" Lauren, the true red ranger, asked you. You were watching your friends, more so siblings, chattering and celebrating the win as you leaned up against a pillar.

"Just...trying to keep this picture in my mind forever."

She looked at them, then back to you, "are you ok?"

No one had ever really asked you that before. You were good at hiding your feelings. But here, it seemed that the walls had been let down.

So, you were honest before you could even stop yourself --

"My mother is the reason for all of this," you say, looking at her.

Lauren may of been sheltered, but she knew about the evil in the galaxy.

"...Rita..."

You nod.

At the silence from your friends you look back, only to see them now near you, concern on their faces.

"Is that why you never spoke about her?" Mia asks her big sister instinct seemingly on overdrive right now.

"Is that also why you trained so hard? To try and prove yourself?"

"Dude," Mike said, hitting Kevin on the shoulder, "but, Kev's right, is that why? I mean, if it helps, we don't think you do. It doesn't change anything."

"Yeah," Emily says with her bubbly smile, "you're still the same person who helped me out of my shell."

"And helped me catch some fish," Antonio says, joining in.

"Dayu was who I thought I could become at some point," Mia admitted, "but, thanks to you, I didn't. You kept me on the right path, Y/N. You're a good person."

Tears are in your eyes, "but...what if...?"

A hand goes on your shoulder. Jayden gives it a pat, "trust us, we know you. And, besides, without that, we wouldn't have met. We wouldn't have become a family. We wouldn't have helped each other how we have."

"We could've avoided the trauma. I could've had a mother."

There's a faint chuckle at your first sentence, then pity at the second.

"Maybe," Emily says, positivity shining through, "maybe there still can be. At some point. Maybe not right now. But, I mean my sister told me about that wave that saved the world from evil. I'm not saying that it will erase what she did, both to the world and to you. But, maybe if you wanted to, you could talk to her."

"But what if I don't..."

"Then that's ok, too," Kevin assures, "I dedicated my whole life to the Samurai and swimming, it's a new horizon for us all."

"Yeah, I mean, Mia is going to culinary school," you did snort. Mia rolled her eyes fondly.

"Yeah, yeah," she said, before looking back at you seriously, "but, Y/N, you aren't your mother. If you ever want to reach out to her, you let us know, ok? We'll be here. Always. What we have, that can never fully be broken."

You all move into a group hug. Maybe they're right, maybe your mother isn't the bad witch she once was. Maybe it was too late, though. Either way, you had them. And that was enough.

That was home.

'NO PLACE LIKE HOME'

gif belongs to me

R/C - Ranger color

You were getting out of the car, popping the trunk to fetch the groceries when you were taken. Rocky heard the car pull up and walked outside to help, running towards you when he saw you were unconscious and being carried to a portal, his hands reaching out only to feel the air once the portal closed.

It felt like he was eighteen again, a crushing weight hurdling towards his chest because he was concerned for your safety. You hadn't been an active Ranger for a long time ever since you started building your family that was waiting inside, wondering where you were. And Rocky knew he had to find out where that portal led to.

He took out his cell phone and called Tommy, and after it went to voicemail, he called Kat who revealed Tommy was also missing. The sinking feeling in his gut grew stronger, experience telling him that it wasn't a coincidence that two Rangers had been taken. Rocky called around, checking in with everyone and the list of missing Rangers grew.

He sighed as he ended his call with Jayden who informed him that Antonio had disappeared and looked at your children eating lunch at the dining table. Your youngest happily ate her sandwiches while your eldest listened in to his calls and barely touched his lunch.

Rocky contacted your parents who lived nearby. After saying goodbye, he approached the dining table and leaned on the back of a chair as he sighed.

"I've called your grandparents, and they'll be here in ten minutes." He explained, "I'm going to meet with a few other Rangers to gather more information about what we're dealing with, and why so many Rangers are being taken."

"Do you think she's okay?" Your eldest asked.

Rocky sent him a small smile, nodding, "I know your mom, and she will be itching to get back to you guys. Do you know why I call her Mama Bear? Because she's fierce and she's strong. And nothing will make her fight harder than reuniting with family."

Your eldest nodded but Rocky knew he wouldn't be entirely convinced until you were back home and he could see you were safe with his own eyes - they were alike in that respect.

Your youngest squealed and clapped her hands, shouting, "Mama!"

Rocky smiled fondly as he walked over to lift her into his arms, kissing her head, "Mama will be home soon." He glanced around the table, meeting the gaze of all your children, "I promise."

The doorbell rang and Rocky let your parents inside while informing them of your disappearance and assured your mother that he would do everything he could to bring you back. Having seen how much he loved you, just with a single glance or a smile, she knew he would. He'd done it before, after all.

"Don't worry about the kids, we'll keep an eye on them. Just bring her home." Your father placed an arm around your mother when she teared up and sent Rocky a nod before he left.

Wes reached out to him as he drove to the rendezvous point, telling him everything he had learned about Lord Draven and his plans to weaken the dimensional barrier to invade dimensions. The more Rocky learned; the weight grew heavier on his chest as he thought of you.

The fortress was intimidating, and despite the strength in their numbers, the uneasy feeling didn't go away as Rocky feared what they would find - dreading the possibility of finding that you were put under mind control and having to fight against each other.

Basherbots ambushed the group of Rangers on the bridge and Rocky knew there were more waiting inside. As he moved his feet shoulder-width apart, his right foot took one big step forward and bent the knee while keeping his left leg straight, clenching his fists, the other Rangers mimicking his movements, preparing to fight when an invisible force took out the Basherbots at both sides of the bridge before rushing towards them. Rocky had never been so relieved to see Tommy before.

He stepped forward while Tommy explained that the other Rangers were kept in the dungeon, and he had broken the computer that created robotic Rangers before he escaped.

"Y/N...is she..." Rocky swallowed the gravel in his throat when Tommy nodded. He stood straighter, steeling his expression as he pushed down his concern and prepared to storm the fortress.

There was no way he was leaving without you.

Rocky fired at the computers alongside Wes and helped fight the Basherbots that rushed toward the group as he crossed the room to where you were starting to sit up.

You met his gaze with a smile, sliding off the table and wrapping your arms around his neck.

"Are you okay?"

You nodded, "I couldn't feel anything." You pulled back slightly to meet his gaze, "The kids?"

"Your parents are watching them." He smiled softly, placing a hand on your arm, squeezing gently.

"What exactly are we dealing with?" You asked while standing beside him as you both looked at the other Rangers.

"Lord Draven is tearing down dimensional barriers so he can invade with his robotic Ranger clones," Wes explained.

"Lord Draven. There's a name I wish I could forget." Gia said.

"We need to hurry, there will be more," Tommy warned.

It wasn't the first time you had fought against a clone of your Ranger self. Master Vile had used a clone to try and trick the team and destroy the command center. But Rocky knew something was off the second he saw the clone. It was small, but it gave the team the upper hand. You always greeted him with a kiss and looped your arm with his. The clone didn't know this detail, and when Rocky communicated with you through the comms while he had eyes on your clone, his theory was proven correct.

You kept your distance, letting the team figure out what Master Vile's plan was before helping them stop it. You knew all of your powers and how to defeat the clone while everyone fought the monster who had been sent to attack the power plant.

You appeared next to your husband, behind the Ninja Steel Rangers, seeing the size of Lord Draven's army for the first time, and while it was easy to be intimidated, you were not eighteen anymore, and you had a family waiting for you at home. There was nothing that could stop you from seeing them again.

When the army was destroyed and Tommy defeated Draven, you stared up at the cracks in the sky, removing your suit as you watched them fade away. You looked at your husband when he placed his arm around you, resting a hand on his chest with a smile.

"Not bad, Red."

"Lookin' good as always, R/C."

You giggled as you leaned into him, feeling his lips against your head. A small smile formed on your lips as the Ninja Steel Rangers thanked the veterans for their help and Rocky told them they could handle anything Odius threw at them.

"As long as you do it together." Antonio chimed in with a smile.

You moved your hand from his chest to his arm, taking his hand as you said your goodbyes. You approached the portal Wes opened with a sigh.

"I can't wait to go home."

Rocky chuckled, putting his arm around your shoulder, "Me neither."

It was a long drive home and Rocky called ahead, letting your parents know you were on your way home. When she hung up she went to the living room where her husband and your kids were sitting and told them the news, which immediately caused their expressions to brighten.

Rocky reached for your hand after parking the car in the driveway several hours later, and you sent him a smile when he kissed the back of your hand.

"Before I was taken," You began, covering your joined hands with your left hand. "I saw you running to save me."

"I'll always come for you." He squeezed your hand with a smile and you leaned across, wrapping your arms around his neck. Rocky kissed your head as he returned the embrace, resting his head in the crook of your neck as he closed his eyes.

"I love you." You murmured as you turned your head to kiss his cheek.

"I love you too."

You heard your older children calling for you and pulled back to see them running off the porch and quickly got out of the truck, smiling as they collided with you, almost sending you tumbling to the ground as you wrapped your arms around them. Rocky climbed out of the truck as he watched the moment with a smile, turning his head to look at the porch to find your parents standing together, your mother holding your youngest in her arms.

Your father sent him a nod, and he returned it. So much could be communicated with a small motion. It was his way of saying thank you for bringing you home and showing how much he respected him.

You kept your arms around your children while following your parents into the house. You looked back at your husband as he closed the door as you answered their questions about the battle.

"It was nice seeing everyone again. Although I don't remember it hurting as much."

Rocky held his shoulder, rolling it with a chuckle. "Me neither."

You walked to your husband with a smile, placing your arms around his waist. "Come on, I'll run a bath later."

Rocky wrapped his arms around you, leaning down to kiss you for a moment, pulling away before leaving a few pecks on your lips making you smile.

That night you and Rocky answered questions about the battle over the dinner your mother had kept warm for you both. Afterwards, your parents went home, and your kids were safely tucked into their beds.

You climbed into bed beside Rocky and cuddled into his side, resting your head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around you, leaving a kiss on your temple.

There was no place like home.

Plot: During the episode 13 “New Arrival” wean the team is down and powerless. Antonio comes and saves them only to catch a glance of the black ranger. And you get the rest.. :P

Y/n’s P.O.V

“Ahhh,” yelled all of the rangers including me as we fell back from Volpez’s strong blow. Our suits came off once we hit the ground. Not exactly a soft landing. We all groaned in pain as he babbled on about the many mirror speels he had then we heard someone yell, “Catch of the Day!” and thrown fifhs at him for them to explode against is body. “Now what about what is throw at you?” He looked over at us and locked eyes with me and I to him.

Antonio’s P.O.V

I looked over to the wonder rangers to see a beautiful ranger. She had a almost all black on. Our eyes made contact and locked for a moment before i remembered about the fight i just got myself in to.

Third P.O.V 

 “Now this is a big moment. Man this is gonna be so golden.”

He said keeping eye contact with her.there eyes almost inseparable.

“Now lets do this,” his eyes flying towards Volpex.

“Who’s this?” asked Mike clearly confused. “Thats the guy you were chasing!” “He’s gonna get ripped apart if he continues.”

With a single press of a bu-tin he changed in to gold and blue suit. everyone's jaws dropped and hanged open.

“Is that really you, Antonio?” “Hah, I knew you’d remember me!” Jayden had a smile on his face the how time and they both looked so happy. “I can’t believe its really you.” “Believe it baby I’m back! And I’m Ready for some action.”  He walk toward Jayden and looked at me for one second and pulled on his black and white plad. And I moved up towards the others and he started showing of his moves and punched Jaydens hand only for it to get chought in his hand. “Still think you can take me?” Jayden Smiled and they started sparing.

 It was amazing watching them. Jayden got his leg and stoud up and started again. “He’s amazing I vote he should join our team.” “Me to,” I said keeping my eyes on him. Kevin started yecking on on why he shouldn't be on our team. Jayden and Antonio’s legs crossed and the duel stopped.

 They turned and faced us everyone showered him with complements like, “that was amazing.” Or “How’d you do that!” he answered them and looked at me and walked toard me and nealed on one leg and said. “Alow me to Properly introduce my self. I am Antonio Garcia, the golden ranger.” He said looking up at me and taking my hand and kissed it softly. He stoud up strate into my eyes and his face close to mine.
