"Agree to disagree Mr. iron Chef" Adrian said to Tucson as he strapped on the Wing Morpher and Sonicaller Adrian turned to Asha noticing her outburst at not being picked to be the team leader he gave the new Blue Ranger a smile "Asha take a little friendly advice from a fly boy sometimes counting on your wingmen is the only way to win and you can be my wingman any day of the week I am honored and humbled to be leading this team and I won't let you down Commander Kingsford"
*** Doctor K applauded as she strapped on her Wing Morpher and Sonicaller "Well said Adrian I hope we get along well" the white Ranger said "I know we will Doctor K" Adrian said exchanging high-fives with the good doctor

Asha rolled her eyes. "Don't remember asking for your unwanted opinion, Asshole," she said.
"Enough, DeLuca," Standridge said. "When you return, hundred laps and a thousand pushups." He turned to Adrian. "It's Commander Standridge to you, boy. You haven't earned the right to use my first name." He took a set of keys from Dr. Serizawa. "In the vehice bay, you'll find an armored truck big enough for the five of you. It's also strong enough to withstand a nuke." He tossed the keys to Braddock. "Don't wreck it, Marine."
He looked at the five and he sighed. "Not the ones I'd pick, but you were the ones that made it through. Good luck, Rangers. Dismissed!"
Asha saluted, turning on her heel and walking out, her hands clenching once she was out of the room.

"Understood Commander Standridge it won't happen again" Adrian said saluting as he walked out of the main command center clearly hyped for the team's first mission

Tuscon smiled and saluted, "You can count on us Commander Standridge," he said and took his leave from the Command Center.

"In the vehicle bay, you'll find an armored truck big enough for the five of you. It's also strong enough to withstand a nuke." He tossed the keys to Braddock. "Don't wreck it, Marine."
"Understood, Sir. Thank you, Sir." Hunter said as he caught the keys, clicked his heels and saluted the general one more time before he left to head towards the vehicle bay. Once he got there, he opened up the driver door and hopped in and waited for the others to fill in. "Seatbelts folks." He stated before the Armored Truck roared to life as Hunter started it.

The five new Rangers approached the truck, Asha gave a low whistle. "Not bad," the Blue Ranger said. She reluctantly got into the backseat, clearly not welcome to drive or lead. She'd have to prove herself in battle, something she'd been doing most of her adult life. "This is bullshit. Fucking Standridge told me when he signed me on, everything I did was going to secure me the lead. Literally fucking everything. Fucking Texan bastard. Guess the douchebags are bigger in Texas." she thought bitterly, folding her arms. She looked out the window, pushing the door open again and looking at Adrian, Tuscon, and Kayla. "Let's fucking go. Get your asses in the goddamn car."

"Let's fucking go. Get your asses in the goddamn car."
"Keep your panties on, Princess Zuko," Tucson said as he got in the truck with the rest of the Rangers.

"You can say that again Asha" Adrian said echoing her sentiments about the coolness of the vehicle when the blue Ranger demanded the rest of them get into the vehicle both Doctor K and Adrian decided to humor her and got in without argument even though the doctor wanted to point out that it wasn't Asha's place to demand anything of them when Adrian climbed into the vehicle he decided to take the furthest seat away from Asha the ride was going to be awkward enough as is Adrian felt he shouldn't add to the awkwardness by sitting across from someone who clearly hated him he had hoped to get a seat next to Tucson so they could discuss his cooking while on the way to the fight when Doctor K climbed into the vehicle she also took a seat further away from Asha the good Doctor not wanting to deal with the blue Ranger's snippy attitude

"Are you waiting for an invitation from the President, Mr. Braddock? Your team is loaded. Haul ass now." Standridge said, his voice coming over the truck's radio system that was linked back to Helix Command.
Asha rolled her eyes, folding her arms. Despite everyones attempt to be rid of her, she was stuck against the passenger back door with Kayla on her left, Tusco on the drivers side back door and Adrian riding shotgun up front. She drummed her fingers on her sleeve, resisting the urge to say anything else that would set anyone else off.
"Fuck all of them." she thought angrily.

Hunter looked in the rearview mirror and had one hell of a shit eating grin. He then put the Armored Truck in Drive and headed towards the disturbance only having some imagination of what would await them.

As the Rangers drove to the site of the battle Adrian turned and addressed Hunter "just so you know I'm honored to have you as my second in command out there in the field I'm going to trust you to show me the ropes okay? Semper Fi"Adrian said using the Marine motto to hopefully get on Hunter's good side as he smiled

Tucson watched Adrian and Hunter interact with each other and then turned to Asha who was being her brooding self. He looked at his morpher and he just smiled, "I can't believe this is happening," he spoke to himself.

Asha glanced over. "You knew what you were being recruited for, Henderson," she said. "Not like they made a big deal of hiding it. "Hi, we're a government organization intending on making Governmentally controlled Power Rangers so that Crescent City doesn't happen again. If you pass our tests, ou may be selected for the Ranger Program." Or however the fuck it was worded to you. I got the fancy pants speech." She clenched her hand and sighed, shaking her head.
"I got the "You're the best and we need the best to defend against any extraterrestrial or extra-dimensional threats that may arise. You're part of one hundred men and women from across the globe that have been selected. You can lead a team in time, and your record would allow that to happen." Yeah, I drank the fuckin' Kool-Aid, didn't I? Three years of busting my ass, outscoring three-fourths of th other hundred, just to have it all ripped away from me in a few goddamn minutes."

While Adrian waited for Hunter to respond Kayla was nervous about being in the field for the first time she had basic training yes but nothing to the extent the others had she decided to take off her lab coat deciding it wouldn't be best to go into battle wearing such a cumbersome and heavy piece of clothing she heard Asha go on and on about what she thinks she deserves but decided that it was best not to aggravate the Moody Ranger further by engaging her in conversation as she took off her lab coat her left hand accidentally gripped the picture locket she always wore with her it was a family picture of her late son and ex-wife along with her she wanted to get rid of the thing multiple times but never found the courage to do so "I miss you Ken" she whispered softly to herself

"Don't need to be uptight about it," Tuscon said in a grumbled.
