Power Rangers In Space by Heather Ray (best beach reads .txt) 📕

hard to forget the day she returned to the vessel she once commanded, hoping to reprogram the asteroid flung to Earth by Dark Specter. Ultimately she accomplished nothing, since she was attacked and later transformed into a true monster.

Still, she was able to think beyond the cybernetic implants, to the fierce determination that moved her to take such a risk.

"Before that, you were brave enough to turn your back on Dark Specter and save the Rangers. You wanted to save your brother, and you did. You knew how Dark Specter would take that betrayal, but you didn't let that stop you from doing what was right."

A smile slowly brightened her face. There was

strength and courage in Karone of KO 35. She just needed to seek it out.

"And even before that, you took a chance and trusted Andros. You found out about the locket, and you were willing to leave behind all the power and authority of Astronema. You were brave enough to trust a Power Ranger, one of your enemies. That takes real guts."

She felt tears sting her eyes, and untwined her hands to brush them away. But her other hand inched toward Zhane's, palm up in the space between them.

"He wasn't the first Power Ranger I trusted, you know."

Smiling, he enclosed her hand with his. "I know."

They lingered in that comfortable silence for a long moment, simply enjoying the other’s company and the warmth of their joined hands.

Then, Zhane squeezed her hand. "Still… if you ever do decide to wear black leather again, I'm all for it." He grinned mischievously, the same expression that always made Karone's stomach flutter. "Just don't tell Andros I said that."

She laughed freely at that, feeling more comfortable in her own skin than she'd been in a long while.
