Sorry this one's shorter, I couldn't think of what else to write. Also, sorry it took me so long; Writers block. But, I got it finished! I'm kinda watching all of the Go-Onger episodes, so, after that I'm gonna start watching more SPD to get the facts and stuff right for this story.

Strangers Like Me ;; Chapter Two

It was exactly three hours, and 29 minutes since Aiden Burns had disappeared, and Hayley Oliver was now dressed in a green SPD uniform. It had taken them a while to make adjustments to her SPD uniform, and pretty much had to make it from scratch, since she was so much smaller than George, who actually seemed pretty happy to go back to C-Squad oddly enough.

And now, along with Syd and Z, Hayley had to tell Angela Burns what had happened to her son. Hayley ran a hand through her hair, a habit her mom had told her she'd picked up from her dad, and walked up to knock on the door. It felt strange, the uniform. She had her Delta Morpher by her side, which still felt weird having it there, since she wasn't used to having anything at her side.

Hayley took a deep breath, before knocking on the Burns' door.

"Who's there?" Hayley heard Mrs. Burns voice call, footsteps approaching in the door.

"Mrs. Burns, it's Hayley, I need you to open up," Hayley smiled kindly at the older lady when the door opened. Angela returned the smile, but it was replaced by a frown and a confused look when she noticed both Hayley's attire and her company.

"Hayley, it's nice to see you, but what's going on?" Angela stepped back, to let the three girls in. Hayley glanced at Syd, who nodded, and Hayley went into the familiar house.

"Mrs. Burns, I think it would be better if you sat down," She told her, leading her to the living room, and sitting next to her on the couch; Sydney and Z standing by the entrance way to the living room. "Mrs. Burns, it's, uh, it's about Aiden." Angela went white in the face. Her son was always a good kid, what could have possibly happened to him? "He's been taken, but we're not sure who has him."

"How could this have happened?" Angela asked, the terror clear on her face. She just might lose her son like she lost her husband.

"We were racing to the ice cream place down the road, when this alien took him. I tried to stop it, we all did, but, they disappeared." Hayley admitted, looking down at the new pair of black sneakers she was wearing. She heard a noise, and looked up to see Z talking into her morpher.

"We'll be right there," Putting it away, Z looked at Sydney and then Hayley, "There's trouble down town, Sky say's it's the same guy who took Aiden, Hayley," Hayley nodded, standing up.

"We'll find him, Mrs. Burns, I promise." She smiled gently before turning to leave with the other girls. "Let's go,"

Parked outside was the Delta Cruiser, and the green Delta Patrol Cycle, which Hayley was loving having, by the way, it had taken nearly ten minutes to convince Syd and Z to let her take it, since neither girl would let her drive the jeep, and only she knew the way to the Burns' house, so, it all worked out in the end. She got on the bike, smiling at the other two girls, who were getting in the jeep.

"Lead the way," She said, shoving her helmet on her head, and starting the bike.

Hayley followed Syd and Z to a park down town, where there was the alien who'd took Aiden, and a bunch of smaller foot soldiers. Stopping her bike, Hayley saw Sky and Bridge morphed and fighting their way through foot soldiers to the main problem. She put her helmet on the seat, and followed Syd and Z, who were on their way to help.

Although she'd hadn't gotten any SPD training in, she knew pretty much what to do.

"Hayley, ready?" Z asked, pulling her morpher out of the pocket at her side. Hayley nodded, doing the same.

"SPD, Emergency!" The three girl's called out simultaneously, pressing the middle button on top of her morpher. Within moments instead of being in the green and black uniform, she was in a green and black spandex suit, which was comfortable, but, strange. Syd and Z ran straight into action, while Hayley took a moment to look down at herself. This was so cool! She did what the others were doing, grabbing the sword like weapon and fighting the foot soldiers.

It was interesting, Sky couldn't help but think, but with Hayley on their team, they would never be stuck. She could teleport herself out of spots they she was stuck in, and fight her way into the center of the circle again, winning the fight this time. She could levitate weapons to herself, or the rest of the team. Blasting a Krybot in the chest, before diving out of the way, and blasting a few more along the way, he noted that for a rookie, Hayley was doing extremely well, better than Jack and Z had done even, or, at least close to that.

Hayley frowned inside of her helmet, she just wanted to get rid of these stupid... Uh, what were they called again? She'd asked Bridge while he was showing her around SPD, since Sky had said something about 'Red Ranger duties' and Syd and Z were making room in their room for Hayley to stay for a bit, although she was sure they were planning something more than that. So, Bridge had shown her around; He was a better tour guide than she though, and answered everyone of her questions, the answers a little long, but, they were answers, something Hayley hadn't gotten a whole lot of it seemed.

Krybot's! That's what Bridge had told her they were called. She smiled a little bit as she swung her arm around, knocking a small group of Kyrbot's down. She was doing good, she told herself. She was doing fine. She was the newbie, so she didn't need to be perfect, no one expected her to be...

Except for Aiden. Aiden had to be depending on her to be perfect, to find him, to bring him back to his mom and his aunts, uncles and cousins, to his other friends at school, and to her. She needed to bring back her best friend, nay, her brother.

It had only been a few minutes, hadn't it? Hayley thought, when all the Krybot's were destroyed. They must have been better than she thought, or the foot soldiers were just easier to beat.

"Canine Canon," Hayley watched as Sky threw something that looked strangely like a robotic bone, and she watched as the robotic dog Bridge has referred to as Ric caught the bone and turned into... A canon? Whatever. Four out of five of the rangers caught the canon, and Syd stepped aside, holding her morpher out.

"Let's see what the judgement scanner has to say," She started to say, "You've been charged with kidnapping Aiden Burns," Syd pushed a button on her morpher, and Hayley watched as she stood there for a few seconds, before announcing he was guilty.

"Fire," In awe, Hayley watched as the canon fired, and when it was done, the alien was in a card! That was so cool, Hayley couldn't help but think. Syd was nearly skipping forward when she went to pick up the card.

Powering down with the rest of them, Hayley wasn't too happy; They didn't have any clue where Aiden was.

"Let's get back to SPD," Sky said, heading over to his own bike, which was similar to her own, but, well, red. A little annoyed, but not letting it show, she nodded, heading for her own bike, which was still parked next to Syd and Z's jeep. She put her helmet on, taking her time to do so. The rest of them acted like nothing was wrong, like this happened all the time; They caught the bad guy, but couldn't find who'd been taken.

It seemed that Z and Syd wouldn't leave until Hayley did, so, she started her bike, driving in front of the jeep, wondering what they would do once back at the SPD base. She followed Sky and Bridge into the garage, parking her bike where it had been before she'd taken it out. Dang it; Syd, Z and herself were going to go to her house, so she could get some of her things, they'd have to do it later, but before bed, Hayley couldn't sleep without the stuffed green dragon her dad had given when she was 8; She'd named him David.

After being debriefed, which apparently happened a lot, according to Z, Sky decided Hayley needed to start training as soon as possible.

"It's for your own good," Sky had said, "So you can be just as good as us," It almost seemed that Hayley was going to take it the wrong way, but, she just nodded.

"Okay. I'll do it if it'll get Aiden back," She said, following Syd, who had volunteered to start her training.

The look on his face must have said something, because Z rolled her eyes at Sky, before turning to follow the other girls.

"You can't blame her, Sky. She just lost her best friend, and although we caught who took him, he's not back. She's willing to do whatever to get him back. I'd do the same thing if it was Jack, or one of you guys," She said, running to catch up.

With that in mind, Sky headed to the lounge, shaking his head a little. "She'd do anything?" He wondered. As long as she doesn't do anything stupid.
