Author's Notes: This one was fun, because you know the 'incident' that gave the S.P.D. Rangers their Powers was not as simple as a few people looking up and blinking while Kat moves forward and stares at her hands. I like coming up with strange happenings in S.P.D. ^_^
And Rose will make sense soon, I swear.
"Hey, Wes." Aisha paused, looking him up and down suspiciously. "You look exhausted. Did you even go to bed last night?"
He gave her a weary smile. "Went. Had nightmares the entire night."
She frowned. "What about?"
He shrugged. "It wasn't really clear. Some kind of explosion. Lots of colors. Someone screaming." The he shook his head, managing a smile that seemed more energetic. "But enough about that. What about you? Any news yet?"
She smiled faintly, squeezing his arm in silent understanding. "No, not yet. We only did the insemination a couple weeks ago. We won't know if it worked for a little while longer."
He grinned. "Rocky's so excited. He can't stop talking about being a daddy."
"Yeah, that's Rocky," she laughed, shaking her head fondly. "And then there's Adam, who can't stop panicking over how I'm doing, and always checking up on me to see if there's an update."
"Worse than that," Rocky informed them cheerfully as he walked up behind her. "He's started reading baby books now. That a year in the life series, or whatever it is." He leaned down to kiss Aisha's cheek. "And how's the mother of our baby?"
She rolled her eyes. "Technically, it's not *my* baby, you know." she pointed out. "I just offered to carry it to term for you two."
"Which makes it your baby, too." Rocky told her seriously. "Me and Adam may have provided the DNA, but you're just as much a part of our family. And we wouldn't want it any other way."
Her responding smile was so warm and vaguely watery - eyed that Wes had to excuse himself. This was a little bit more private of a moment than he cared to be involved in.
And remembering Rocky and Adam's decision to make a baby together brought back painful memories he was finally just managing to suppress.
He wandered around for a bit as he waited for things to get started. Something that looked vaguely like a dentist's pick caught his eye, and he reached out to examine it curiously.
"Don't touch that!"
He recoiled, instantly scrambling back into a corner. "Sorry!" he said hastily, offering up both hands in surrender.
Cam, Kat, Vanessa, Ethan, Haley, and Justin all glared at him. Billy glanced up from his own work with a frown. "Maybe you should find a place somewhere a little more out of the way?"
He shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah. Got it."
A hand came down on his shoulder, making him jump. "Don't worry, Wes," Chip told him cheerfully. "They told me that six times in a row before Rose threatened to tie me up with some cables."
He frowned. "Is it just me, or does she seem really ... "
"Cranky?"
" ... Yeah. Testy, maybe. She's sorta been like that for awhile now."
"Justin has, too," Chip noted, nodding to the other young genius as he fiddled with some sort of equipment with a dark scowl. "You think it's related?"
Wes gave him an odd look. "Rose and Justin? When do they have time to see each other? They're always in the labs. And ... " He glanced between the pair again. "She'd kill him. If they didn't fight over projects."
Chip frowned, cocking his head. "You think? I figured Justin would make her loosen up a little, and they'd give each other someone that understands what it's like to grow up in their shoes."
"Yeah, but is being two child geniuses a good basis for a relationship?" Wes pointed out. "I mean, look at her with Ethan."
Chip shuddered. "Okay, I can see your point."
"You guys are so horrible about Rose," someone scolded. "She's not that terrible."
Wes and Chip exchanged glances.
"Kimberly, I like you a lot," Chip began, "But have you tried to hold a conversation with her lately? It's ... it's .... "
"The easiest way to get your nose broken?" T.J. commented wryly, cocking his head from the wall he and Ryan had chosen to lean against. Neither of them were anywhere near the people setting everything up.
Ryan grumbled unintelligibly and shifted against the wall.
"Dude, sometimes I really wanna ask what happened to you, but I'm sorta scared to." Dustin said thoughtfully, breezing past them with some sort of device in his hands.
"I wouldn't suggest it," Ryan muttered darkly.
"This is a pretty strange crowd for a morpher test, don't you think?" Wes asked suddenly, frowning as he looked around the room.
"Not really," Chip told him. "Obviously we've got Cam, Justin, and Hayley here because they *are* the Morpher Project. And Billy knows more about the Power than anyone, plus Ethan, Rose, and Vanessa know his work. And Kat's been doing some work on the morphers, too. Dustin's here because they need someone who sort of understands what's going on, and 'cause he'll probably be working on Zords and bikes and - "
"Chip!" Kimberly cut in sharply. She offered him a smile when he blinked at her. "You were babbling."
He blinked. "Oh. Sorry. Well, Aisha's here 'cause they have to have a doctor on hand just in case - which is actually probably why Rocky's here, since she is. Cruger told them to bring some Grunts in and since most of them can't or aren't willing to be in the same room as Rose and Ethan anymore - "
"Carter was," T.J. spoke up. "But Ryan wouldn't let him." He glanced sideways at the other member of his department.
Ryan scowled. "It's my job to look out for my partner," he ground out.
Privately, Wes thought of the fact that Will and Zack, while good friends, had never been as ... protective of one another as Ryan and Carter tended to be. Even T.J., who had partnered with Cassie's girlfriend Ko-lin, had formed a bond with the silent and stubborn woman, but not to such an extreme. And before Ko-lin had arrived and it was decided that Nick didn't exactly require someone to watch his back, Nick and T.J. had an amiable trust, but not such fierce loyalty.
Maybe it had something to do with being brothers - in - law. Maybe because they’d been teammates? He didn't know.
"So what about you and Kim then, Chip? Why are you guys here?" he asked instead.
Chip grinned, holding up a P.D.A. "I'm here as KIA. Someone's gotta record history as it happens!"
Kimberly rolled her eyes, chuckling. "I ran into Rocky in the hallway and he dragged me along." She glanced at Chip with a smile. "So Know - It - Alls are KIA, now?"
"It's shorter," he said with a shrug.
"We're about ready to start the first test," Cam announced, sounding pleased.
"Finally," Rose grumbled.
Justin leaned in to whisper something in her ear, then jerked back as she elbowed him in the stomach. He scowled and turned back to his own station, muttering under his breath as he messaged his stomach.
"What was that about?" Aisha murmured, sounding puzzled.
"Lovers' Quarrel." Chip whispered.
Wes struggled to hide a grin.
Then he froze as an icy chill ran down his spine.
"Something isn't right." Kat spoke up with a frown. "These readings are off the charts. The energy output should be contained within the morphers."
Billy's head snapped up. "The morphers aren't containing the energy?" he demanded.
She shook her head as Justin turned to peer over her shoulder. "The energy is everywhere. And it's ... rising. I - "
"Everyone duck!" Justin shouted suddenly, shoving Kat to the floor.
Light exploded throughout the room.
Wes cried out as his head throbbed, and his left wrist began to burn. Somewhere in the blur of colors and screaming he could make out a brilliant flare of green. Silver flooded through the room, mingling with everything else.
Then the colors died, and everything went black.
