Sky sat across from Bridge watching him spread butter on his toast. An indulgent smile was on his face as he sat across the park bench from him. They had taken a very rare afternoon off and headed for the park to have a picnic lunch and spend some time together, just the two of them. Ever since they had confessed their feelings for each other they had rarely managed to get any time together to be alone. But Sky was determined to change that this very afternoon, which is why they found themselves in a secluded corner of the park. Bridge had done himself some toast before they had left and was now happily buttering it to his hearts content. So he let Bridge indulge himself with his favourite food while he nursed a coke and picked at a sandwich that he had made himself earlier.
Bridge watched Sky from behind his now perfect toast. It had been Sky's idea to head out to the park for this picnic. There time together had been extremely limited and it hurt Bridge more than he let on. Sky was becoming more and more closed off to other people, throwing himself into their studies and training more and more. Syd had been trying to cover for them as much as she could to try and give some time together but it wasn't much. But they appreciated the effort she took for them. Sky was looking out over the park as he absently ate his sandwich, watching some kids playing on the swings and Bridge smiled at the scene. One day he hoped that it would be them with the children playing in the park, but that was a long way down the track. He didn't even know if Sky wanted kids.
Sky turned back around and caught Bridge watching him and grinned slightly, raising an eyebrow. Bridge realised with a pang that Sky's demeanour was less relaxed lately and that he missed the easy, ready smile of his friend from when they first met. Since they had come clean on their feelings for each other they had managed to spend a little time together exploring their feelings. They had even managed to kiss a few times but Bridge's powers had become to overwhelming and they had to unfortunately stop before his sometimes fragile mind got overwhelmed. Bridge had found that those stolen kisses meant more to him than anything else in the world and it hurt more than he thought it would that he couldn't be that close to Sky sometimes.
They were finished with their lunch, chatting softly about this and that. The easy banter between them, gentle manner they had with each other was heart warming to each other and quickly lifted the feeling of slight separation they had both been feeling. They policed their garbage and began to walk around the park, enjoying each other’s company, Sky holding Bridge’s gloved hand. They were standing on a small bridge overlooking a pond in a secluded area when suddenly there was a scream from what sounded like a woman and the two SPD cadets spun around and when the scream sounded again they took off in the direction of it.
The scene that greeted them momentarily took them back. An alien of some sort was trying to rob woman and her kids. The two SPD cadets reacted immediately and headed straight for scene. Sky hit the emergency transmitter on his communicator and yelled at the top of his lungs before Bridge could stop him. Something wasn’t right with this alien, he could sense it even from this distance.
“SPD, STOP!” The alien turned and they saw he had some sort of weapon and before Bridge could even think about what he was doing, he knew what was going to happen and just as the alien fired, he shoved Sky out of the way and then the world went black.

Sky POV
I don't know what everyone's so freaked out about. I mean, it's just a case I’ve been investigating, nothing major. So I've been researching and hunting this guy for weeks now. So I've been chasing him down all over the planet. So I've been hassling his friends, his contacts, his business associates. So what, I'm not hurting anyone except him. I've ended up putting almost a dozen of his associates in confinement. I've curtailed his business on this planet and now, now I'm going to chase him to his hideout on the Moon of Vega, so what. He's scum; he deserves to be caught for what he did to Bridge.
But Syd's really freaked about me going without either her or Bridge as back-up, she reckons it's to dangerous to do this by myself. This is my case, not theirs, and I don't want them along. Besides, it's too dangerous for the pair of them, considering Bridge is still recovering from what this barstard did to him. It’s just a simple go in and snatch the bad guy and come back victorious. No big deal.
But Syd seems to feel that this is a big deal. She seems to feel we should all go as a team. I don't see why we should. It's a one man job at best; I don't need them hanging on me. I'd have to protect them at all times and no offence to those guys, but they aren't the best fighters. Syd's not too bad, especially with those powers of hers, I've had more than a few bruises sparring with her. But Bridge isn't that great a fighter, even though I've been working with him for over a year now. But he's a lot better than he was. But all of that doesn't matter, I've got my chance to prove to Kruger that when the time comes, I'll be the only choice for Red Ranger. And besides, it’s personal. That scum hurt Bridge and no one hurts Bridge and lives to tell about it.

Bridge had been in the medical wing for almost three weeks healing from the injuries that the alien criminal inflicted on him. He had brushed aside their concerns about his health and what had happened with typical Bridge concern for others. Sky had only suffered minor injuries from the explosion the alien had caused and then had thrown himself into tracking this criminal down. Sky reacted to this attack on them both in typical Sky fashion. He had become obsessed with it, the chasing down of this alien had become his sole focus, apart from visiting Bridge when he was awake. His studies, his training, they all revolved around finding this alien.
Quietly, and telling only Syd, Bridge began to fear for his friend, boyfriend and hopefully one day, would be lover. He feared that Sky was becoming too involved, too focussed. He feared that Sky would loose himself in this case. He feared he would loose Sky altogether. Syd tried to talk to him about this but Sky brushed her concerns off and proceeded to ignore her. Bridge had even been trying to talk to him about it, but even he had no luck. Bridge’s fear began to grow even more until he could take it no more and he finally confronted Sky about his obsession.
Sky was packing a small bag, getting to leave. Bridge walked into their room and the door closed behind him. He had snuck out of the medical wing to confront Sky. He was literally tearing his mind apart at the fear and worry he was feeling for Sky. All he could feel from Sky was anger, revenge and determination. It was that determination that had turned Sky into an obsessive unstoppable force of nature. He glanced up and Bridge’s heart flipped over in his chest and he fell in love with Sky all over again. But he couldn’t let that him stop him from confronting Sky about this. He had to make Sky understand how he felt. Sky looked at him, staring almost dagger like at him. He straightened up and walked the two steps that it took him to stand in front of Bridge. He put his hands on his shoulders and looked Bridge in the eyes.
“Bridge, are you alright? What are you doing out of medical? I’m going to call Kat and then take you right back there.” Bridge steeled himself; this was harder, harder than it had any right to be. But he couldn’t let this situation go more out of control than it already was. He pushed Sky’s hands off his shoulders and squaring them, he spoke softly but with strength in his voice.
”No. No Sky, I’m not alright. This whole situation with you going off like you are is completely out of control. Ever since that day, that attack, you’ve been closed off to me. We promised each other we’d be always truthful with our feelings Sky. And Sky, you’re scaring me. You’ve grown away from me and my heart. I’m loosing you Sky because of this and it’s tearing me apart.” Sky took a step back, stunned at Bridge’s words.
“Is that what you think? That I’m pulling away from you?” Sky was stunned by his words. He never knew that his actions were perceived this way. “I’m doing this for you! Because of you! I’m not going to stand by and let you almost die because of some scum bag!” Bridge staggered back, pressing himself against the door, overcome by the strength of Sky’s emotions. The fragile condition of his barriers around his mind was completely shattered and he lost control. He stared at Sky and his words were ground out behind clenched teeth.
”Don’t you dare put this on me Sky! For months now you’ve been closing yourself off from me. It’s like I don’t know you anymore. It’s like you don’t want to risk your heart loving me like I love you!” Sky was stunned even more. But something struck him and he could suddenly see the pain his rage against the alien that had injured them both had been causing Bridge. Suddenly Bridge completely collapsed against the door, clutching at his head and Sky realised that he’d lost control of his emotions. He was causing Bridge pain, something he swore he never would do.
“Oh god Bridge, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. But I have to do this, I have to.” Sky grabbed his bag, knowing that he had to get away immediately. “I’m so sorry Bridge. But I have to do this, I have to prove to myself that I can.”
”Stop using me as an excuse Sky.” Bridge’s words were soft, broken hearted and practically leeched of all life. “You’re going after this guy because you can’t go after the man that killed your Father. Stop substituting this situation for that one Sky.” Sky didn’t say anything at those words. Deep down, a part of him knew that Bridge was right, but another part of him knew that unless he did this, he’d always second guess himself as being worthy of being on the Ranger track.
”I’m sorry Bridge. I’ll be back as soon as I can.” With that, Sky unlocked the door and stepped around Bridge, closing the door behind him. Bridge curled up on the floor, struggling to regain control of his mind, his churning heart and his emotions.
There you go guys, writers block all gone now, hope to have these challenges finished soon. Enjoy your reading.
