Letting Go {Power Rangers SPD}

Beginnings: Part 1

Silver Tate was humming to herself, as she drove one of the SPD 'A' Squad cycles back to the SPD Academy, and she was trying to hold her excitement back at seeing her siblings again.

She stopped the cycle, and everyone came to attention when she walked in with the helmet under her arm.

"At ease people. I wasn't always 'A' Squad. It wasn't so long ago that I was one of you." Silver says as she looks at the crowd around her looking around for a few specific people, that, she was actually wanting to see.

"Commander Silver Tate." A voice that was almost too familiar, said from her back and she nods slightly at the voice behind her.

"Cadet Tate. It has been a while." She says turning towards her brother with a nod of slight amusement.

"Leave us." She says, and the room cleared out with nods and salutes as the people ran to tell their friends that a Commander from 'A' Squad, was in the Academy once again.

"Schuyler." She hugged her twin brother tightly, and he squeezed her tightly as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Three years. I'm so sorry." She whispered, and he looked at her with a smile that almost no one ever saw in the time since she had left them.

"You deserved your promotion. But I would be lying if I said that I am very happy to let you go back to 'A' Squad."

Sky says, and then Silver smiles even wider when she heard two voices and a third set of footsteps following them down the hall towards them.

"Silver!" Sydney exploded with happiness as she crushed her old friend in a huge hug, and Silver smiled at her.

"Hey Sydney. Ow." She says, and gently managed to get herself out of the hug without pushing, the only 'B' Squad girl who was left on the team into the nearest wall.

"Bridge." She said to the next person, as the guy who was often classified as that very much 'weird' guy, walked in after Sydney. "It's been too long." She says and shook hands with him before they hugged quickly.

"They told me you were coming home! I didn't think they were really serious!" A younger girl threw herself up and onto Silver's back.

"Oof! Who's on my back?" Silver asked jokingly, as she spun around, getting squeals of delight, from the younger girl on her back.

"Claire! You have grown! So much! I really did miss you kid. That... by the way goes for all of you. Not the kid bit of it, but you know."

Silver says, as her now teenager sister, was jumping off of her back and facing her now.

"It's really good to see you." Bridge says, as they all walk to the Command room, and Silver nods at all of them.

"I am definitely glad to be back. I had a lot of grudging respect from the rest of the other squad, but they really did truly, not like me. Besides I missed my family. My whole family." Silver says as they walked towards the Command room together.

"Attention!" Sky called, as the 'A' Squad ran past them, shoving into Bridge with contempt in their eyes and Silver steadied him quickly.

"Thanks." Bridge says, pulling off a glove to use his abilities to see their auras.

"No problem. They used to shove me around all the time. They used to say I got in because of my name until I beat them all at once in training." Silver says, and nudging Bridge lightly in his other arm that hadn't been smacked into by 'A' Squad.

"That is who I want to be. I'm gonna be the Red Ranger." Sky says, as they'd all be looking at Bridge.

"Jeez! Did you, see the size of them all? Even the girls are massive." Syd exclaims, and then they all looked at Bridge concerned.

"What's wrong, Bridge?" She asks after seeing the look on his face.

"I don't know. Their energy, their colors... something's off." Bridge spoke with a scary confident tone of voice.

Silver walked in at the head of the three cadets quickly bringing her arm up, pulling it across her chest, in the salute.

"Commander Cruger." She says, and he looked at her with a nod of respect to her prowess and rank.

"Commander Tate. Your request to become a part of 'B' Squad once again has been processed. Unfortunately for your request, it has been denied." The Commander says, and Silver looked at the B squad Commander with a nod of respect, although there is well hidden pain in the bearing of her posture.

"It has been denied young one, only because you will join me, sharing the equal rank of Commander here. The only difference is, you will be on the field with the 'B' Squad." Cruger says, and Silver nodded, the tiniest smile on her face now.

"Thank you sir." She says, and he looks at her. "Thank you Cruger." She says awkwardly unused to calling him anything but Commander.

"Onwards to business. Cadets, I trust that you have all enjoyed your time in training here at the S.P.D. Academy."

Cruger says, and Silver cut a glance towards Sydney, who she knew was now going to complain, but Sydney's eyes weren't watching her.

"Well, since you asked us, the fluorescent lighting gives me a bit of a headache." Syd says, as Doggie Cruger growled, and Sky rolled his eyes at the girl next to him.

Silver shot a heavily now poisoned glare at Sydney, which this time, the girl did indeed see. "Yes, sir."

Sydney says, and folding her hands behind her back now. "And, not that your training has ended or will it ever end while you're here, but as your Commander, I must now call upon the 'B' Squad to step up and take on many new responsibilities." Cruger says.

"Yes." Bridge says, pumping his fist in the air, before he stopped and looked at the Commander, his expression all business once again.
