Derek made his rounds as he normally does, checking in with his people throughout the building and as always, what should take 15 minutes has ballooned into an hour as he was sidetracked with either employees who wanted to vent or younger visitors who wanted to show off their latest gaming achievements or get some tips on clearing a specific level or loss battle. When he finally made his way downstairs to check on his front desk people, an unknown visitor burst through the door. The front desk guards popped out of their seats but Derek shooed them away.
"Guys relax. It's cool." Derek chuckled. He walked up to the man, offering a handshake. "Hi, I'm Derek. What can I help you with?"
"Don't be all nice with me after you ruined me!" The middle aged man turned his nose up to Derek's greeting.
"Ruined you? I'm afraid I'm confused. What did I do?" Derek asked, genuinely confused with what was going on.
The man growled in frustration. "Does OlicityStan2012 ring a bell to you!?"
Derek pondered for a moment then snapped his fingers when he figured it out. "Oh yeah, you're the guy who popped up to play Injustice 2 last night. It was a good match."
"Good match!? You're mocking me now? Thanks to you, my girlfriend won't even touch me anymore."
"Whoa! What did I do?" Derek held his hands up in disbelief.
"You beat me down so badly, she said that she can't associate with that type of losing. And she asked if I could find your number!" The man groaned, almost in tears."
"Awwww that sucks, dude. If she's like that, maybe she isn't the one." Derek walked up to the man, patting him on the back. "I'll tell ya what, we've got a great cafeteria here on the third floor. Tell them I sent you and they'll hook you up."
"I don't need comfort food!" The man shrugged Derek's arm away. "I need revenge! I challenge you!" The entire exchange earned chuckles from anyone in earshot but the target in question maintained his typical calm demeanor.
"Sure." Derek smiled. "Same game?"
"Yeah!"
Derek escorted the man over to the first floor lounge and fired up the PS4 Pro. After a few moments, both men were sitting and picked their characters. The challenger picked Green Arrow and Derek picked Robin. Some of the kids who were lounging around stopped what they were doing to watch DC in action as his work didn't allow for these types of displays often.
The match began and the challenger was on the attack early with Derek on the defensive. During the match, his phone buzzed. He quickly used his right hand to get the phone out and tap on the notification, showing that he had a meeting in 5 minutes.
"Crap! I forgot that was today!"
"What's wrong? Chickening out?" The man boasted, feeling confident about himself as he was winning.
"Look I'm sorry. I've got a meeting so I'm going to have to wrap this up."
"So you forfeit?! HA!"
"No, not forfeit. I'm just ending this now."
"What!? How could you...." Before the man could finish his thought, Derek went on the attack, using Robin to execute flawless combos in rapid succession, easily taking the two rounds from the man in less than a minute. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"The offer for the cafeteria still stands and if you need your parking validated, go see the front desk. Good match!" Derek shook the man's hand before taking off, leaving the man sitting there with his head held down.
As DC was leaving, the teenagers all yelled their goodbyes with some uploading footage of the impromptu match online with the hashtag #DCBeatdown

Jax, having been watching from the desk, snickered and shook his head. Grabbing his phone, he texted Derek. <"Brother, remind me to never pick a fight with you on any game. Ever.">

Derek was running upstairs, finally making it to the elevator. He saw the incoming text from Jax and laughed before sending a quick response. <"Deal! As long as you remind me not to pick a fight with you at all. LOL!">

Mackenzie woke up early and went for a run. About an hour later she returned home and took a shower before getting ready for work.

Thankfully for Derek, the meeting wasn't too long as the topic was primarily centered around potential redesigns for the Dream Chasers streaming platform that hosts the content creators who are streaming on a daily basis. He wasn't the best in terms of the artistic side of things as his priority is functionality ensuring that the product is not only easy to access for consumers but easy for content creators to use to stream. Once he got back to his office, he kicked back in his chair, looking through menus he kept in his top desk drawer, trying to decide what to eat for lunch.
He came across a menu for one of his favorite wing joints close by and while looking at the menu options, the sight of the hotter wing flavors reminded him caused his mind to drift back to the other day at the Command Center where it wasn't the talk of moms loving him that gave him pause. It was Twista's boyfriend remark that made him wonder if that was even possible. Sure, Amara would make a comment here and there that caused him to raise an eyebrow but it wasn't until recently that he considered the possibility that maybe she wasn't joking. For now, he had to play it cool until he could be sure and he couldn't be cool on an empty stomach.
"Boss!!"
The trusted assistant and confidant opened the door moments later. After knowing and working for Derek for years, she knew that yell could only mean one thing. "Let me guess? Wings?"
"Damn! How did you know?"
"Your stomach is very predictable after all of these years." She sat down in the chair in front of his desk, taking the wing menu.
"That's why I pay you the big bucks." Derek grinned as he pulled out his phone to call the order in.

Sansa appears at the downtown city park of Angel Grove where she spotted the citizens enjoying their day. She looked at couples who were either, walking, jogging, riding their bikes or just sitting on the grass being close with one another. Gritting her teeth, while clenching her fists as she thought about how Gregory was neglecting her since her failures followed by hearing him talk about Divatox made her very livid and she wanted to show Gregory that she could be worthy in destroying the Power Rangers and even kill the former Space Pirate.
"Shearus!" she called out and Shearus appeared next to her. "It's time."
"Of course milady," Shearus said and his golden scissors appeared in his hands and jumps into the scene where people began to notice the monster and they started to panic before running away in fear. Shearus smirked and readied his scissors looking a glowing aura connecting the couples together. With just one snip, the monster cuts the line and the first couple stopped in their tracks before looking at each other in anger and disgust. Insults soon start being thrown while the yelling and screaming before the woman angrily slapping her boyfriend in the face.
Shearus began to cut through more links of couples and even friends, making them argue and even get physical with one another and Sansa smiled through the angry commotion filling his ears. "Now, this is what I like. I hope Gregory will notice this," she spoke in a dark snicker.
________________________________________________
Back in Tsunami Sushi, Tyler was talking to his friends and his eyes lit up, "What!? E3!?" he exclaimed and the others nodded, "Yeah, man! They've reached to us and wanted to tell you congratulations of your 50,000 subscribers!" the first male exclaimed.
"Yeah, but I haven't even started my gaming channel yet," Tyler exclaimed. "I had just gotten back into playing video games and--"
"We know that. But this is great news, not only you've been chosen to become part of the convention but this company called Dream Chasers too!" the female exclaimed.
'That's Derek's company!' Tyler thought to himself. "Wow, that's insane. I never thought that I would be chosen to meet the fans of E3. Do you know where it's gonna be held at?"
Just as Tyler was going to answer, his morpher began to go off. He quickly covered it and looked at the others. "Um... can you excuse me for a bit?" he asked the others and he quickly made his way out of the restaurant. Unbeknownst to him, Jason and Aisha, who were still present, heard the chime and they looked back at one another.
"Did you hear what I just heard?" Aisha questioned.
"Yeah, it sounded like the chimes from our communicators. Let's go see what's going on?" Jason spoke and the two former Rangers quietly made their way to the front. Outside, Tyler taps into his morpher, "Go ahead, Diva," he said.
"Tyler, it looks like the bitch Sansa is back. And this time she's created a monster on her own named Shearus," Divatox spoke and the Yellow Ranger sighed. "Well, it was nice while it lasted," he said. "I'm on it."
"Alright, I'll contact the other Rangers," Divatox said, ending the call. Tyler made his way to the scene before Jason and Aisha began to take pursuit.

The strong spices filled the room when Derek came back upstairs with both his and Boss's food in hand. He handed over her drink and placed the large bag on the desk. before putting his drink on his desk. Upon opening the bag he handed his good friend's food over to her before sitting down with his food. He opened his plate, going googly eyed over the sight of the Mango Habanero dry rub wings with fries on the side.
The CEO rolled up his sleeves and took a bite out of one of his wings, enjoying the tender morsel to the point where he almost did a shimmy in his chair.
"After all of these years, food still makes you happy. Hopefully whoever you marry is a good cook."
"Damn right!" Derek grinned while continuing with his meal.

Jax rubbed his eyes, making sure the cameras were where they needed to be. He sighed as he watched, picking up his phone and scrolling through his socials. "Man...it always ends up bad, don't it?" he mumbled, shaking his head. "WOrld's gone to hell."

Divatox began to tap into the other's Rangers morphers, "Rangers. Sansa has returned and has created a monster of her own. Tyler has already went, so you must meet him there, ASAP," she spoke through the communication line.

Unlike what Divatox did with Tyler, her voice rang through Derek's morpher immediately without the preemptive chirp to alert him. As soon as he heard Divatox's voice, Derek started coughing loudly to drown out Divatox so Boss couldn't hear him.
"Derek are you okay!?" She jumped out of her chair, patting him on the back."
"I'm okay." Derek coughed again for good measure. "I'm gonna step out for a sec." He stood up, rushing out of the office, leaving Boss extremely confused. After all of the years she's known him, this is the first time she's seen something spicy affect him like this. On the other hand, she thought that something was off and she was going to figure it out. She stepped outside of Derek's office, feeling even more confused that he had disappeared without a trace.

Jax heard the morpher go off, hearing Divatox before he got up and headed away from the desk. He jogged outside and headed for an alley. "ON my way," he said, teleporting away to find Tyler. ______________________
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Amara muttered. "The day my boss is here. Fucking great." She ran in and made something up about her mom needing help and ran back out, teleporting away.

Tyler made his way to the park where he could see all of the people fighting and screaming at each other and he was shocked, "Whoa! What is this, Jerry Springer?" he asked in complete shock.
Sansa looked up and she could see the Yellow Ranger and a smirk was shown from her face, "Well, look what the cat dragged in," she sneered.
"Should've known you'd be back!" Tyler said with a growl.

Mackenzie had just made it to work when Divatox contacted them. "Just how I wanted to start my morning," she grumbled. She threw her stuff down and closed her office door before teleporting to join Tyler and the others.

Derek made his way to the park and saw all of the commotion. His eyes eventually locked onto Sanza and Tyler. He ran over to his comrade. "So Gregory finally came to his senses and benched Crow."

"Oh, please! I came here by my own free will, Red Ranger. That bastard Crow had been getting Gregory's attention for too damn long!" Sansa growled. "It's time that I show him who's the loyal one!" Shearus looked at the connection between the Rangers and he turned to the swordswoman, "Sansa, I detect a nice connection between the Rangers. It's nice and thick enough for me to snip them apart!" he said in a hiss.
