[indent][indent][color=black][i]Angel Grove...[/i][/color]

On the edge of the mountain, there stood a blonde, hair messy but somehow still remaining straight, watching the town she used to call home. It was funny, the way it peacefully appeared. Angel Grove had been the epicenter of a lot of conversation. The topics all ranging from the mysterious monsters that once plagued it, the warriors in bright colors that defended it, but nobody talked about how peaceful it seemed from afar. It was like most towns along the coast of Southern California. If you look to the north, there were mountains, where the blonde was right now. In the south, you would eventually reach the Mexican border. The left was the coast and the right was where she came from.

How long had it been? Everything appeared to be so normal. Over the years, she's kept tabs on the current events within the place she used to call home. Angel Grove went through changes. Mayors from all sides came and went, policies that made it better and worse were passed and enforced. But one thing that was rarely ever forgotten and something that made that knot in her throat always act up was the mysterious heroes who saved their town countless times.

[code]The Power Rangers. The heroes who fought to save them all ten years ago and after they weren't needed anymore, they disappeared.[/code]

That was what made Jade Taylor so pissed off. Maybe it was her pessimistic view on being a ranger at all that made her mad or maybe it was the fact that people like to forget about them or critics — because there are [i]always[/i] critics no matter what — found a way to put some blame on them because they weren't around. What did they expect? Monsters were no longer attacking. And despite what many claim, they weren't hardened soldiers. They weren't these vets of war that had the mental conditioning to endure the horrors of what they went through.

They were, as painfully cliche as the tagline was among the rangers themselves, teenagers who had attitude. They were [i][b]TEENAGERS! [/b][/i]For some, yeah they might've been able to endure but Jade couldn't. Even if the team hadn't disbanded for the reason the public knew - that they were no longer needed - Jade couldn't stay. It wasn't just the fact that they lost nearly half their team in that final battle but Jade lost a piece of herself. She lost her Parker. 

But she was back. After ten years of running away and putting it off, she was back. She stood at the edge of the mountain, taking in the familiar sights. From her vantage point she could see everything: the community center where she and others all hung out after school, the mall that always had the best chili cheese fries, the high school she frequently ditched when she didn't feel like learning about how bad the Nazi's were, and immediately, Main Street that had all the mom and pop shops. 

She was home. 

Jade took in a big inhale of the crisp morning air and heard sounds that sounded like footsteps near her. Old habits kicked in and she took a familiar fighting pose as her body immediately shifted. Her right foot forward, left back, arms close to her with fists raised, right fist close to her vest and left up ready to guard her face. It was natural instinct. Ten years and she still had the habit of fighting like she did when she was a teen. Only, what waited wasn't a Hedgeman that she was expecting but just a girl. A rather attractive, latina girl who had a camera.

Nearly every muscle in Jade's body that had tensed up relaxed as the relief washed over her. [color=black][i]Seriously? They're long gone. It's not like it was before.[/i][/color] She reminded herself and allowed herself to have a moment of silence for her almost taking the head off this girl. [color=black]"Sorry bout that. You just startled me,"[/color] she said, apologizing in case the girl had a moment of fear of getting her ass kicked. She would then, as her attention focused — and rightly so — on the camera, she smiled. [color=black]"You know...you chose the best place. This particular shot has such a magical view of the city. You can find any angle just from this spot alone."[/color] And it was true. Whether you just wanted to come out here to get away from the world or snap some shots, this spot that overlooked the entirety of Angel Grove was perfect. 

[color=black]"I'm Jade by the way."[/color] She said holding her hand out. She may look scary but Jade was, at her core, a very compassionate and polite young lady. Unless you did something to piss her off. Then that fighting pose she took wouldn't stop there.
