Walking into the Juice Bar, Derek took a good look around as he finally got a chance to see what this place was about as his previous trip was interrupted by Sanza and her goons. His initial view brought him to Tyler and Mackenzie along with Amara who arrived shortly before he did. Derek loosened his tie and took off his coat, throwing it across the back of his chair.
"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late. A meeting was running long with some of my developers regarding my company's streaming platform, but it's all good now." Derek sat down next to Amara after she had rolled up her sleeves. "Everything okay?" Derek asked Amara.

Amara walked into the Juice Bar, looking around before spotting Tyler and Mackenzie. She walked over and smiled. "Hey, guys," she said, sitting beside the Green Ranger. She undid her cuffs and rolled her sleeves up. "Ugh, today was long..."
"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late. A meeting was running long with some of my developers regarding my company's streaming platform, but it's all good now." Derek sat down next to Amara after she had rolled up her sleeves. "Everything okay?" Derek asked Amara.
Tyler shook his head, "Ah it's nothing, Derek," he spoke to the Red Ranger and then turned to Amara, "Something going on?" he asked the Pink Ranger.
"Yeah, are you alright, Amara?" Mackenzie asked after Tyler and Derek.

"Yeah, I'm just tired," Amara said with a small smile. "I've been on shift since four AM and had several major calls today. I've been all over the place today. Four different counties, seven cities, and I'll have nightmares about one of the wrecks we were called out on." She looked down as her phone chirped, seeing a text from Jax. "Oh. It's Jax. He said he'll be here fast as he can. Meeting's running long again."

"Wow... that's pretty much a lot to handle. And I thought college was tough," Tyler spoke, scratching the back of his neck.
"Aside from the college part, I'm gonna have to agree with Tyler," Mackenzie stated.

"It's not all bad. Sometimes the bad accidents stick with you. Why I pay a therapist good money to keep me sorted out," Amara said with a smile. "Jax, on the other hand, he, um...he doesn't do so hot. Three tours, a hundred combat missions, more brothers and sisters carried by six off the plane, and...he doesn't open up to me or Mom about it. It's why he throws himself into these veteran meetings. It's as much for himself as it is for the ones he helps."

"Has he..." Derek briefly paused, wanting to make sure he was using the right words. "Been okay since we all got...volun-told?" He asked. "I know this can't be easy for him with what feels like a long war in the making."

Amara bit her lip, looking at Derek. "He doesn't...say anything, but I can tell when he looks at this," she said, tapping her morpher softly. "I hear him saying "Another war. More dead friends" like a mantra. He shuts down when he sees me watching him, but I can tell by his eyes. I've known him my whole life, I can tell when he clams up."

"Well now he's got three new friends and I think I can safely speak for all of us when I say that we're not getting added to that list of dead friends and we'll do what it takes to make sure that doesn't happen." Derek spoke, locking eyes with Amara.

Tyler nodded, "Yeah, I'm with DC on this one and let's not forget," he began to look around to see no one was looking around, "We're Power Rangers now. Which means that nothing and no one gonna do anything to break us apart," he finished in a whisper.

Amara nodded. "I know, guys. And I appreciate that, I really do," she said, looking over at the door. She watched her brother walk in and head straight for the counter with some folders in his arm.
"Could i get a triple berry smoothie, please?" Jax asked, looking at Aisha as she walked up. He set the folders down and straightened them up, pulling his right sleeve down over his arm.
Amara watched her brother, sighing softly.

"Speak of the devil.." Derek shifted in his chair when Jax walked in. He was about to wave him over but quickly changed his mind once Jax made a beeline for the counter.

"Sure thing, girl," Aisha said with a smile and Jason started making the smoothie for Amara. As Jax was seen sitting on the counter alongside Amara, and Tyler quickly took notice of his expression.
"Yo, Jax! You alright there, man?" he asked the Blue Ranger.
"Seems that he's having a pretty rough day," Mackenzie spoke after when she looked at Jax's composure.

Jax looked over, visibly tired. "I've had better days," he said, nodding.
Amara put her hand on her brother's shoulder, squeezing softly. "You know you didn't have to come, Jax. You could have gone home."
"I know, Amara," Jax said, smiling a little. "Thought I should at least show my face."

Tyler seems to feel worried about Jax as he kept looking at him, "Yeah, even though... you seemed a bit troubled," he spoke in his concerned tone.
"Hey, guys. Maybe we should keep everything positive. Let's not forget this is our first time as a team, right?" Mackenzie said, trying to keep everything positive and Tyler looked at the Green Ranger apologetically.
"Yeah you're right, sorry. Just worried about Jax here, nothing more," he said with a small smile.

"Technically..." Derek spoke up. "Our first team thing after the big fight was at Tsunami Sushi. It's amazing to see how people get with a little liquid courage inside of them." He said, shifting gears to something recent and lighthearted.
