Chapter 15

Alex seeing all his friends really thinking about the situation said"I want all of you to go home really think about what do and meet me back here tomorrow."

Alex then with a power jump dived into the water above him leaving the cave. The group is drenched by the water from the dive as Billy spoke up"I forgot we could do that."Everyone was really thoughtful and went home,it was a very emotionally tiring day.

Kimberly was now back home and was watching TV in a daze, she was thinking about everything Alex said. A part of her couldn't help but agree if Earth dies,we die too it was a cold hard fact. So only way to survive is to fight or ignore the whole thing and die. Also, the govt not being helpful is also true,as there was a chance enhanced body would be captured for experimentation.

Kimberly broke out her thoughts when her mom Sarah Hart spoke"Kimberly I am asking you how was your stay at Alex's house?"

Kimberly rolled her eyes, since she knew what her mother was trying. Sarah was a divorcee and she brought up Kimberly alone, she was a very strong and independent woman.

So Sarah replied, "It was good, there was Trini and Billy there with me too."

Sarah hummed gave the nod and with that asked"So are you and Alex a couple now?"

Kimberly with slight blush groaned"Not now, Mom."

Sarah with a teasing smile said"I remember when Alex would do Martial Arts training,you would stubbornly copy him. You really told me, you guys had each other's back."

Kimberly was in a daze and muttered, "We have each other's back."

While in Trini's house the whole family was having dinner, Trini stared at the food and really wanted to just get out. Trini with her parents James and June Kwan and little brothers have moved into three different towns in three years. It frustrated Trini so much that she barely talks to her family. This is compounded by the fact that the rest of her family is as 'normal' as it can get. This means she can barely speak to them about the adjustments she needs to make or about her own personal struggles, as she believes they will just label her. As a kid who hasn't connected with anyone in her new town, it also didn't help the fact her mother was a very controlling woman. Her mother was obsessed with the status quo.

June started questioning"So..Where were you today? Were you with friends? Do you have any friends? Why are you so tired?"as his voice slowly started increasing with each question.

Trini's father cut in"You did ask her four questions...before she's even answered the first."

Laura with slight irritation said"Because she's like a ghost around here. She needs to start communicating."

James with a slightly stern tone said"June."

June doesn't hear it slams her hands on the table and yells"Say something. Speak! I just..." this scares two brothers of Trini, as her father quickly cuts in with a stern tone"Relax."

June Kwan starts taking deep breaths and mutters"Okay, relax."

James Kwan looks at Trini and asks"Okay, Trini, let's start over.Please tell us one thing you did today."

Trini sighed and replied"I made a couple of friends from Angel Grove found a spaceship buried underground."

June was confused and questioned, "What?"

Trini nonchalantly added, "I'm pretty sure I'm a superhero."

Trini's brother Zeke and Cody looked at each other in awe while in unison said"Cool!"

June wasn't having it saying"Not cool." she quickly got up and takes a cup and slammed it in front of Trini while yelling"Pee in that cup!"Trini rolled her eyes.

While in Taylor Household Zack was now taking multiple medicines from the cupboard and started putting them in cups with juice and biscuits. He then walks toward his mother Fiona Taylor who is very sick in her bed sleeping. Fiona wakes up hearing Zack enters the room and starts to get up saying in Chinese"You came in so late today."

Zack sets the plate down replying"Relax, mom. Stay in bed, just sit up a little bit, okay?" as he slowly helps her sit up straight. Fiona slowly leans on the bed and says"I am happy just to know you'd come home."

As Zack sits down on the side of her bed Fiona questions"You're going to school, right?"

Zack awkwardly smiles, as he could never lie to his mom seeing his hesitant face Fiona with a stern tone questioned"Zack, you didn't answer me."

Zack quickly takes the small cup of medicines and hands it to Fiona saying"Make sure you take these."

While he was getting up and going towards the doo only one thought was going through his mind"The alien shapeship has advanced technology, so it could cure my mom right."

Zack struggles with the stress of his mother's illness, and he often camps out in the wilderness and decomissioned train cars near his home, deeply terrified of waking up to find his mother dead, and so tries to live a life far from home. Despite this tendency to avoid home, he truly loves his mother, often speaking to her in Chinese, playing chess with her by her side, and doing everything he can to take care of her.

However, Zack's public image is anything but that of the dutiful son that he is. In his public life, Zack is cocky, rebellious, and eager for a life unlike his own. He is hyperactive, boisterous, and fun-loving. Zack is actually really smart, but the stress and fear of his mother's illness caused him to start bunking classes.
