unexpected arrival

[starslings]

While being a space ranger had gotten Ashley used to some pretty fantastic things, suddenly blinking into existence in the middle of a strange hallway on a ship that definitely wasn't the Astro Megaship was enough to throw her for a loop. She stood carefully still for a long moment, like it was a weird vision she was expecting to pass, but when she heard people coming she panicked a little, and ducked down an adjacent hall, pressing herself up against the wall to keep from being seen.

The strangers passed by, engrossed in the conversation they were having, and while they didn't sound particularly evil, she erred on the side of caution, for the moment. After all, she was suddenly an intruder on their ship, and she knew that if they'd found someone randomly appearing on the Megaship they wouldn't be immediately sat down for milk and cookies, more like an interrogation. Then probably milk and cookies.

Biting her lip she looked around and listened until the coast was clear, and then she brought her communicator up, wincing a little at the activation beep and how loud it seemed.

"This is Ashley. Can anyone hear me? I'm not... sure where I am, right now."

Andros wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer. Like Ashley, it was as if he didn't realize just how stressed he had been without her close by. Friendliness and warmth were not something that came easy to him, he needed her there, to prod and poke and drag it out of him. Ashley made him a better person. And a happier person.

Reluctantly, and realizing they were in the hallway, sheepishly withdrew his arms from her.

"We're in another universe--brought here by some multi-dimensional being. There are two other rangers here that I know of, Zordon's original earth rangers. Billy Cranston and Adam Park. I don't think they've been rangers that long." He'd been trying to work out a timeline but the legacy of Zordon's earth rangers was never exactly concrete information for him. He had more important things, like trying to save the universe.

She wasn't so willing to let go, and kept her hands on his arms even as he withdrew. Ashley was never one to give a damn about PDA, even on a weird space ship.

At his explanation she furrowed her brow, tilting her head to the side as she tried to wrap her mind around that. "Wh- That can't be right. Billy and Adam... They were rangers before I was. Adam was the one who passed the black ranger powers on to Carlos."

"Yeah, that's the thing. Somehow we all got pulled from different times too, as well as different universes. Most of the people here have never heard of rangers. "

Despite himself, Andros smiled. It was nice to have Ashley close again, it felt....nice.
