"Druidon is back and I need help, okay!?"That one sentence made her freeze, the world almost seeming to tilt as she felt like she had been punched in the gut and was going to be sick. Her hand tightened momentarily on the younger woman’s shoulder as she tried to ground herself and not fly into a panic or maybe it was rage. She had so many mixed emotions running through her veins that she didn’t know where one started and the next began. This wasn’t real, right? She hadn’t just heard Charlie say what she thought she had just said. They had succeeded! They had given everything and more so why?! It couldn’t be….it had to be something else! Anything else! Though deep down, she knew, if Charlie was saying it then it was an undeniable fact. Charlie wouldn’t jump the gun like this but Jordan wanted to stay in denial. She wanted to say that this was madness for either of them to be trying to pick up the fight and mantle of Rangers again but….could she really let her do this alone? Could she really make someone else take care of her failures and take on her place? Could she dishonor her friend's sacrifices like that? No...no matter how much she didn’t want this, Jordan couldn’t just walk away. She wouldn’t walk away from what she had always viewed as their destiny, whether it ended good or bad.
When Charlie spoke up again, drawing her back from her own thoughts, Jordan realized just how hard this was for her friend to say and just how much she cared for their team. She had thought to do this alone, just so they didn’t feel trapped or burdened by the knowledge. It was sweet. This had always been how Charlie was though, caring about others, their feelings, and what they thought. She was leaning on them for support again, showing how much she still trusted them even after all this time. Jordan did want an explanation, to hear all her thoughts on the matter and come up with a plan together on what the next steps would be. First, they needed to get back into the diner and loop Clint in on the situation. He had a right to make a decision and hear the details too. It seemed like it was just part of Charlie’s original plan coming a bit sooner than expected since fate had put him at the diner the same day that they were to meet.
Jordan was about to answer but suddenly a frantic alarming beep chimed, drawing her attention to the watch or more what looked like a watch at the other woman’s wrist. If the ‘oh fuck’ was anything to go by as well as the exclamation point on the front, she had a feeling that it was much more than it let on and one that while different was very familiar in some ways. A holographic display came to life, showing the Angel Grove Youth Center but not just that, no...upgraded Drunn Soldiers were terrorizing the event, attacking people left and right who were unfortunate enough to not escape in time. It made her blood boil having the urge to break and destroy every last one coming on strong. It also sparked her furious need to protect people which was exactly what some of the citizens needed right now. The screen minimized, Charlie already raring to go and join in the fight, the most capable at the moment since she had a Power Morpher. She wasn’t sure how far the Youth Center really was, having been gone for so long but she wasn’t going to let her run off without her in tow.
”Let’s go!”, she said without hesitation and gave a curt nod.
Jordan sprinted off after Charlie, pausing for a moment at the window to the booth they were just sitting in, planning on knocking to wave Clint to join them. Sadly, when she peered inside the man was nowhere to be seen and there was just a confused waiter standing there wondering what the heck happened to the table. She figured he went to the bathroom or something which made her bite her lip, feeling a bit bad that they were suddenly ditching him but they didn’t have time to wait. They could try to catch up with him later. He would understand once they explained about the sudden problem. She gave a frustrated growl, shrugging it off to focus again as she sprinted off after Charlie once more. She had to keep her in line of sight or she wouldn’t be able to know where she was going, plus she didn’t have a Power Morpher yet and if she lost Charlie then there would be no chance at transformation….not that that would stop her from kicking ass and assigning graves to the Drunn Soldiers scum that dared walk the earth.
