"What do you mean they're missing?!" Logan exclaimed.

"I mean what I said Logan!!" Janus told him. "I went to Emile's room and VIrgil wasn't there and he said Virgil never showed so I called Virgil and they wouldn't pick up and Emile called Virgil and they didn't pick up for Emile either!! They're gone!"

"Virgil's gone?!" Remus shot up.

"Yes I said that!"

"Mother of-"

"Call Thomas!" Patton said suddenly. "Call Thomas, tell him what's going on! Logan get my phone and text Virgil asking them if they're alright. Roman I need you to get your ass off the floor and find Renette and tell her that we don't know where Virgil is. Remus, get me a cookie and some of those drugs you were talking about."

It was quiet for a beat. Janus was frankly a little stunned that Patton was giving orders while clinging to Logan's side like he was the only thing keeping Patton up.

"I'm sorry, do I need to shout? Get a move on people c'mon!" Patton huffed.

Janus grabbed his phone out of his pocket and started dialing, Remus and Roman raced past him, Remus across the hall and into their room while Roman was going down the hall to Renette's room. Logan walked over to the bed with Patton and set him down before grabbing Patton's phone out of his pocket and opening it.

"Uh Pat I don't know your password." Logan said quietly.

"Five, six, four, two, six." Patton said. "It's just the numbers that correspond with your name."

"Oh." Logan nodded.

That's weird. Janus thought, his phone ringing by his ear. Why are those two being so weird? No Janus, focus. Virgil.

"Janus?" Thomas' voice asked through his phone.

"Thomas! Oh god, okay, so we sort of lost Virgil."

"What?!" Janus was starting to hate that word.

"Yeah uhm, Roman and Virgil got into another fight and Virgil left for Emile's room but they never actually went to Emile's room and they're not answering their phone." Janus rushed to say. "Do you have any idea where they might be."

"Uh, oh god, shit, uh," Thomas stuttered out. "Alright uhm, call Renette-"

"We're already doing that, I just need to know if you've seen them."

"I haven't." Thomas told him. "Hang on I-dammit Virgil! They turned off their location. I can't track their phone."

"You track their location?"

"No not really, I just figured I'd set something up in case they get lost somewhere and I needed to pick them up." Thomas said.

"Okay, okay, do you have any ideas?" Janus asked.

"No I'm sorry I don't. I mean we're in New York, I can't think of any place Virgil would go to comfort themself." Thomas said, the panic in his voice quickly rising.

"Damn, okay I-I'm gonna ask Patton what to do, just call me if you can get a hold of them." Janus said.

"I will!"

Janus hung up and turned to Patton who seemed to be in the middle of hyperventilating and being mad at himself for hyperventilating.

"Pat? Thomas hasn't seen Virge and they turned off their location settings. What should we do?"

"They haven't answered my texts either." Logan stated.

"Okay, okay, god, okay." Patton breathed hard.

"Pat!" Remus yelled from the door. He ran over and handed Patton a chocolate chip cookie and a large pill. "Here, this-this should help."

Patton nodded, quickly taking both and swallowing.

"Remus what exactly was in that?" Janus asked.

"Uh, just some mushrooms and like, calming stuff. I-I don't really know I just know that when I take it I calm down." Remus shrugged.

"You just gave Patton drugs and you don't even know what kind of drugs they were?" Logan looked at Remus incredulously.

"I mean he asked-"

"Shut up!" Patton cried. "You're all giving me a headache."

No one spoke.

"Okay, unless Renette chipped Virgil or something there's nothing we can do until Virgil contacts us so-"

"How the actual hell did you lose Virgil?!" Renette shouted from the door. She stormed over to the group, Roman in tow.

"Oh shit Ro." Remus sighed.

Janus had to agree, he'd never seen Roman crying so terribly before. I mean Janus wouldn't have described Roman as ugly before, but this was kinda gross. Not uncalled for though.

"Renette they're not answering our texts or calls." Patton said. "They turned off the location on their phone, is there any other way we can track them?"

"No, it's not like I chipped them or anything! I didn't think I'd have to worry about them running off you're all friends so I-"

Roman sobbed at that.

"Okay what the hell is up with him? He said three words and started crying." Renette crossed her arms.

"He and Virge were fighting." Logan said. "That was why Virgil left in the first place so-"

"Right." Renette nodded. "Okay, well someone get Roman under control, keep trying Virgil's phone, let's get everyone in the lobby and start looking around the hotel, I mean they couldn't have gone far."

"Right." Janus nodded.

"I'm going to leave this to us and us alone, I don't want anyone else involved." Renette said sternly.

"Got it." Patton nodded.

Patton started texting Emile and Thomas telling them to meet in the lobby. Remus and Janus were sent to search the floors while Logan and Patton would go to the lobby. Meanwhile Roman would stay in his room with Renette until he calmed down, at which point he was to meet the others in the lobby and leave Renette there in case Virgil came back.

Janus and Remus started walking around their floor, until determining they weren't there and the two got in the elevator and kept going. Floor after floor there was no sign of Virgil and Janus was starting to really panic. Remus was putting on a brave face that Janus was more than grateful for. The two kept going, eventually deciding to go back up to their rooms to check on Roman and see if Virgil had taken a jacket or anything that would indicate that they left for outside the hotel. Remus went into Roman's room to try and help his brother while Janus searched his room and Patton and Logan's. Nothing. Patton texted him and said that they also couldn't find any sign of Virgil.

Roman and Remus both left Roman's room together, waving goodbye to Renette and promising they'd return with Virgil. The two met Janus in the hall and started walking silently to the elevator before Roman stopped them.

"Something weird happened a little while ago." He said quietly.

"What's 'something weird'?" Remus asked.

"Virgil." Roman tried. "They-last night we were both asleep when they suddenly just woke up and-and they were in pain. I didn't know what to do but their arms, their arms looked all, messed up. Like purple and-and wrong and I don't know but Virgil was in a lot of pain and it didn't go away for a long time. They made me promise not to say anything but then when I got back from the play and it was just the two of us their hands started shaking violently and I was scared it was going to happen again."

"What does this have to do with anything?" Janus asked, a little more bite in his tone that he intended.

"I just-that's weird right? Have you guys noticed anything weird about Virgil lately too?" Roman said.

Janus wanted to snap at him but Remus' gasp and little look of realization made him stop and think a little harder.

"I remember Emile mentioning something about Virgil's headaches to Remy." Remus said. "Emile was going on about how Virgil was constantly confused and their head hurt so bad but no matter what pain meds they took it never went away. Virgil would just have to sit there and wait it out."

"There was this one time, uhm, I don't know Virgil's hands just started shaking. Like you said Roman, like violently, their hands just wouldn't stop shaking. But it wasn't like they were stimming or anything, I know what their stimming looks like. It was something else." Janus admitted. "I didn't say anything but Virgil was trying hard to make it seem like they weren't annoyed by it."

"See that stuff," Roman went on. "That's not normal. I-I'm not trying to insult Virgil at all! I swear! I just don't think that stuff should be happening to them and-"

Janus' phone rang. He didn't bother reading who the caller was; he just picked it up and prayed that it was Virgil.

"Janus?"

"Dammit Logan." Janus sighed. "Sorry, sorry I just-"

"You hoped it was Virgil." Logan finished. "We can't find them, Thomas thinks we should start going to places we went to earlier. Like restaurants or parks or something."

"Okay." Janus agreed. "That sounds good, hey listen, this might sound off topic but uh, have you noticed anything off about Virgil lately? Like have they done anything that doesn't seem normal for them?"

"No." Logan said, his tone completely changed. "Wh-what have you noticed?"

"Well, Roman, Remus and I are just talking and I mean, apparently Virgil's been getting headaches and shaking hands and-"

"Arm pains and heightened anxiety." Logan finished for him again.

"I-yeah. Wait I thought you said you didn't notice anything weird?"

"I didn't." Logan responded. "When we find Virgil we're all going to need to talk. There's uh, something I need to tell you guys."

"Okay." Janus looked at Roman and Remus nervously. "Okay, but Virgil's number one. Let's find them first."

"Agreed."

Logan hung up the phone and Janus turned to the twins to tell them the first part of what Logan had said.

"So what do we do?" Remus asked. "Should we go out and help?"

"The roof!" Roman snapped his fingers. "The roof, let's go to the roof. Virgil-their hair should be easy to spot so if they're nearby or walking somewhere we'll be able to see them."

"Good idea!" Remus nodded quickly. "Let's go!"

"Wait." Janus groaned but the two were already in the elevator.

The elevator doesn't go up to the roof dumbasses, Janus thought. Instead Janus bolted over to the stairs and started climbing. Janus himself hated stairs and running and boring physical exertion similar to running, but with the possibility of reuniting with Virgil he found he didn't quite care. A few levels away from the roof however Janus found that he quite regretted quitting cross country in tenth grade. Sure fighting aliens pretty much kept him in shape, but if he was being honest with himself, he hasn't had to do that in a while, and running stairs wasn't really part of the whole Power Ranger job description.

When he got to the door labeled with 'roof' in big white letters he annoyingly found it locked. Janus slipped off his phone case and pulled his driver's license out from where he typically kept it and started trying to open the door. Finally the lock clicked and Janus shoved it open with a little cheer. He stepped onto the roof and immediately felt the ice cold air against his cheeks. He didn't pay it any attention though, instead he walked over to the ledge of the roof and looked down at the street. He searched for a bit and decided that if Virgil was still near the hotel Janus would be able to see them. He began worrying that his luck was dwindling however when Virgil's split-dyed hair was nowhere to be seen.

"C'mon Virge where are you?" Janus whispered to himself.

When Janus turned around to head to the other side of the roof and check there he was met with a sight he'd never in his life could have imagined. Virgil stood, their profile to Janus, black and white hair whisking around their head as the wind pushed and pulled at the strands. Their hands out in front of them, fingers outstretched as small glowing orbs or various sizes danced amongst their fingertips. Janus watched as the purple lights weaved between their fingers and circled their arms. Virgil themself seemed unbothered. In fact Janus couldn't recall a time when he'd seen Virgil look so content. Their eyes seemed to twinkle as they stared at the lights and the smallest of smiles graced their lips.

"Virgil?" Janus' head whipped around to see Remus who had just made it to the roof, staring at Virgil much like Janus had just been.

Virgil pulled their arms back, they made a defensive face and looked like they were about to say something but the roof door slammed open once again and Roman made his appearance.

"Roman?" Virgil asked.

"Virgil?" Roman's voice broke.

Almost simultaneously the two broke down in tears and ran to each other. Roman lifted Virgil into the air before pulling them back down into an embrace and the two sat practically in each others' laps, sobbing and muttering apology after apology.

Janus made his way to Remus and the two exchanged a silent conversation.

You saw that?

Of course I did.

What the hell?

I don't know.

Later.

Later.

Janus pulled out his phone and began texting everyone. Thomas responded by telling them to go back to Virgil's room and that the others would meet them shortly. Janus elbowed his boyfriend when he caught him taking pictures of the two sobbing messes a few feet away, but didn't say anything. He watched them. Virgil's legs wrapped around Roman's waist as they ran their hands through his hair. Roman's own hands wiping desperately at Virgil's tears, willing them to stop falling. Janus didn't know if he should find this cute or disgusting, so he settled on a healthy medium and tore his eyes away to look at his own boyfriend.

It was Remus' expression that sent a jolt of shock down Janus' spine. It was like Janus had caught the taller boy in the middle of an epiphany. His eyes glazed over as he stared at his twin and their friend.

"Shit." Remus whispered.

"What?" Janus asked him.

Remus turned to Janus and blinked a few times as he seemed to come back to real life. He shook his head to say nothing and grabbed Janus' hand. Janus felt a familiar feeling of frustration as he searched Remus' face for answers. It had been so long since Janus had been unable to understand Remus, and he was beginning to think he was getting better at it, but now as he looked at Remus' teary-eyed expression he knew he had so much more to learn. A bit of deja vu hit Janus as he realized he hadn't felt so helpless to know what Remus was thinking since the last time he'd sat in the McDonald's bathroom the day he became a Power Ranger.

I'm gonna marry you. Janus' mind insisted. Goddammit Remus Reeves I'm going to marry you if it's the last fucking thing I do.

"C'mon you two." Janus started once he felt another cold brush of wind hit his neck in just the wrong place. "Let's get back inside."

Roman and Virgil nodded and let each other go, though neither seemed to want to go too far. Remus led the way downstairs and back to their rooms. Inside Renette was waiting rather impatiently, but all of that animosity melted away the second Virgil let go of Roman's hand to wrap their arms around her.

"Don't ever scare me like that again." Renette said, trying to be stern but her wavering voice didn't help.

"I won't." Virgil told her. "I promise."

"Why didn't you take your phone?"

"My arms they-" Virgil stopped.

The door swung open to reveal everyone else who practically tackled Virgil in hugs. Janus stood idly by and watched, trying to understand what the hell he'd seen and what the hell was going.

"Virgil oh my god." Patton wheezed as he hugged Virgil closely. "You had me so worried. I love you so much."

"Love you too Pat." Virgil laughed a little. Patton pulled back suddenly.

"Don't you ever do anything like that again you hear me?!" Patton shook them by their shoulders.

"I do." Virgil nodded. "I won't, I promise."

"Good." Patton pulled them back in for another hug.

"Logan," Janus called over to him. Logan made his way to Janus and the twins. "What was it you needed to talk about?"

Logan had a little internal debate with himself before turning to the three of them. "When we went to rescue Patton from the Dragon Witch, I decided to take a look around. You guys seemed to have everything handled and, I'd heard some voices so I decided to follow them. What I found was a room of generals. Not just the ones we've fought but there were some from decades ago, and some that I've never seen before. And they were-well I could only assume they were talking about Virgil. Apparently Virgil is supposed to have symptoms."

"For what? Are they sick?" Roman asked.

"I don't know. It's a little hard to remember considering less than an hour after hearing this I was unconscious, but apparently headaches and arm pain are just the first wave of what Virgil's going to go through." Logan tried to explain. "I've wanted to ask them about it but, I was hesitant to say the least. Especially considering the generals seemed to think that if Virgil didn't go through this they'd be killed."

"Have you told Renette any of this?" Janus asked, lowering his volume.

"Yes." Logan nodded. "I'm just, well, apparently a lot worse stuff is going to happen. And I'm not sure if Virgil knows what they're going through, or if they're ready."

"What's supposed to happen to them?" Remus asked fervently.

"Heart palpitations, their ribs will crack-"

"Alright." Patton stepped back and began addressing the room. "It's time to show Virgil the hard drive."

"What?" Thomas asked.

"Patton-" Renette looked at him worriedly.

Emile and Remy both seemed very confused.

"Look, Virge needs to trust us. All of us. And keeping this from them just gives them reason not to." Patton said firmly. "Besides, Virgil has a right to see it. Whatever it is. It's not fair for us to decide when they get to. That should be up to them."

"Pat, what are you talking about?" Virgil asked calmly.

"He's talking about this." Roman had gone over to the closet in their room and was digging through one of his bags before producing the black hard drive like object.

"When you came to Earth, we found this in the bag you were trying to give to Patton and Patton didn't recognize it." Renette explained to Virgil. "We didn't know what it was but after a little bit of tampering with it, the box said that we weren't Virgil and therefore didn't have access to its contents."

Virgil was quiet. They stared at the box as Roman brought it over.

"This? This was in my bag?" Virgil asked quietly. Not taking it from Roman, just staring at it with a look of apprehension.

"It was." Renette nodded.

"Not Virgilius." The box suddenly spoke robotically. "Access denied."

"I didn't press anything!" Roman immediately defended.

"It's okay Roman." Virgil waved him off.

"Virge what-what is it?" Emile asked.

"Sorry, blind person here, what exactly is happening?" Remy raised his hand and asked.

"You two should go." Thomas told them.

"What?"

"Dad!"

"Thomas is right." Renette said. "This is officially Power Rangers business and thus you two are not involved."

"Mom c'mon." Remy groaned.

"Both of you will come with me." Renette stated. Her tone left no room for argument. "Thomas, report to me about this once your conversation is done."

"Of course." Thomas gave her a sharp nod.

Despite Emile and Remy's protests Renette pushed them both out of the door and shut it swiftly. Leaving the rest of them in silence. Everyone turned to Virgil. Their eyes still not leaving the box. Finally Virgil walked over to Roman and grabbed the sides of the box. They walked over to the desk in the room and put the box down, sitting in the wheely chair and continuing to stare at it.

"Virgilius." The box spoke in the same monotonous robot tone. "Access granted."

Out of the top a hologram was produced, similar to some Tony Stark type of creation. It looked like a computer desktop. But it only had one folder on the screen.

"Virge." Patton whispered. The group had made their way over and were looking at the screen with them.

"It's a paradot." Virgil told the Power Rangers. "Essentially just an old computer. They haven't been used since I was a baby. This one is almost as old as me. It-it's been so long since I've seen one of these."

Their eyes flicked over to the file on the screen and it was selected, a new screen appeared. This one seemed to be a sort of library. Three images appeared and below each respective image was the text: WatchFirst.log, ForVOnly.log, ☆♡.note.

"They're videos." Virgil said.

"What are these pictures of?" Logan asked.

"I-the first one is the inside of my room. Well, not-uhm, my used to be room, on the ship." Virgil said. "But, it looks like the way my room was arranged when I was a baby."

"That second one looks like a field of flowers." Roman said softly.

"I don't recognize the second or third pictures." Virgil told him. Virgil's eyes centered on the first image. "I guess we start here."

The video was selected and the image of Virgil's childhood bedroom filled the screen. White walls, white furniture, and yet, it wasn't as harsh as Janus remembered. The room seemed soft and comforting, and it was decorated delicately with paintings that seemed a little too familiar to Janus.

"Is that The Starry Night by Van Gogh?" Logan whispered.

"We'll come back to that." Patton whispered back.

"Is it working?" A voice asked from the box.

"It is." Another answered.

"Okay." A woman walked in front of whatever camera was being used and a gasp went through the room. She looked just like Virgil. Janus would go as far as saying they were twins if she didn't seem older than Virgil. "Hello my Star. And, the friends you've gathered around you."

Virgil's entire face practically read 'who are you?' as he stared at the woman before him.

"I know you don't know who I am." She said softly, a choked up sadness in her voice. "And I know because of that you don't trust me, but I'm asking you to hear me out. Please. You have a right to know who you are."

The atmosphere in the room shifted again. Janus was glancing between Virgil, the others, and the screen. The woman took a deep breath, smiled, then looked at the camera with a determined face.

"My name is Hypatia, I'm your sister." She said. "And you, Virgil, are a Seer."

The video stopped. Virgil stared at it with intent and the screen froze.

"What's a Seer?" Thomas said after a moment.

"Seers were an ancient race of, well, demigods. At least that's how they were treated." Virgil said, they seemed rather emotionless. "They were said to have been the children of the goddess Nonrath. They could do things-weird things. But, they were hunted to extinction. Their abilities were too-too powerful. They couldn't be controlled and they had to be killed."

Janus had a feeling that those words weren't entirely Virgil's.

"I'm not a Seer." Virgil said sternly. "And she-she's not my-" Virgil stopped. They turned over to the screen and stared at the woman angrily. It began playing again.

"She's been lying to you Virgil." Hypatia said. "I-I know you know that. You know that she's been lying to you about Earth, and the Power Rangers, but she's lied to you about this too. She's not your mother! Our mother was, ugh." She stalled, looking at someone off camera. "Okay, our mother, she was stationed on this planet called Orgrer by the Dragon Witch. She-she used to have hundreds of Seers working for her, she'd send them to planets, have them observe, report back. Any time she did something on a planet, she changed that planet's future, and the Seers would tell her what to do next in order to take over. But our mother-she made a mistake. She got pregnant eighteen years ago, and-and had me, but the thing is, my-our father wasn't another Seer. He was Orgerian! When the Dragon Witch found out she took me from our mother and told her that since she belonged to the Dragon Witch, so did I. So to retaliate our mother started feeding the Dragon Witch false information. And started the worst rebellion that the Dragon Witch has ever seen!

"Of course, by the time the Dragon Witch had captured our parents I was showing signs beyond anything the Seers had seen before. I was only fourteen Virge and I could already see so many futures. Ov-over the next four years though, she slaughtered every seer she could find. Not just the ones she'd forced to work in her guard, but any Seer society she could find. I don't know what she told you about Seers but whatever she said was a lie!

But the Dragon Witch, she doesn't learn from her mistakes." Hypatia looked over again at someone in the room that the group couldn't see. "She'd been training me like a general, and when I was fifteen I was sent to my third planet. I had to scout around, send a report back, and then send a message to the people that live there that they had a chance to surrender. Instead, I met Pallas. And she showed me things that I'd never seen before, she showed me a life that I didn't even know I wanted. God Virgil, I can't wait for you to fall in love."

Hypatia's eyes began to glow a little and purple orbs began sprouting around her. It was so similar to Virgil from earlier Janus couldn't hold back the small noise he made. Remus shared a look with him.

"Patia?" The same second voice from before asked.

"Sorry." Hypatia blinked and the lights faded away. "I just-ha. Ha ha. Okay. I started stalling. I started doing everything I could to keep this beautiful planet alive. Pallas and I-we did everything we could to get this planet ready for a fight. Then, after a few years you were born. And you're so-gods Virgil. The Dragon Witch, she gave you to me and told me to make sure you were the most powerful Seer the universe has ever known. That terrified me. But what scared me more was when she came to me, and she told me that I was finally old enough to be the holder of the Rose morpher. She wanted me to take it, and be powerful like her. To take the morpher and finally wipe out the planet that I'd been protecting. And she told me when you were of age you'd be getting the violet morpher. We'd be unstoppable.

"But I couldn't. I told her I didn't want it. But then she stopped making it seem like a suggestion and I knew what I had to do. The Generals are going to help us. Astro and Jemina and-they're getting us out of here. I'm leaving the Dragon Witch and I'm taking these morphers as far away as possible. Anywhere out of her reach. She can never have them. She can never wear them or put them on us."

"Hypatia." A third voice spoke up. There was a silent exchange between Virgil's sister and the people off screen.

"I don't have a lot of time Star. I had to say something to you, I owe you that much. Attached to this paradot are a few other videos. And there should be a text file somewhere too. A letter for you to read when you need it. You-you'll know when. But listen to me, I love you, I love you so much Virgil. These past few months that I've been able to spend with you, they've been refreshing to say the least. And it hurts me so much to have to leave you behind."

Virgil sucked in a breath and nodded, as if their question was finally getting answered.

"I-I'm sorry, I just, I had to know. When we knew that we had to go into hiding, I had to know what I should do with you. What my decision could do to you. And as much as I want to take you, with me, as much as it pains me to know what she'll do to you, and that I can stop that from happening, I-I can't. I can't bring you with me. I've seen what you will do, how far you'll go, with-without me. And no matter how much I want to have you with me, it would be wrong of me to be selfish now. I don't want to leave you behind. But if I take you, this will never end. With our rebellion called off the Violet and Rose morphers revealed there's not much else Pallas and I can do but run. I just hope," She took a shaky breath and finally wiped away the tears that had been slowly falling. "I just hope my Star, that one day you can forgive me for leaving you there."

"Hypatia it's time." The second voice said.

Hypatia's head dropped. Her shoulders shook as she sobbed to herself. Another person stepped into view. A different woman, taller and more muscly than Hypatia, but wearing similar clothing. She wrapped Virgil's sister in a hug and let her cry for a moment more before saying something in a language Janus didn't recognize. Hypatia gave her a short laugh before wiping at her face with her palms and standing, walking over to the camera and giving it one last smile before shutting it off.

The video ended. Virgil sat there, so still Janus was worried they'd been petrified.

"Virgil," Patton whispered. "Virge, are-are you okay?"

Virgil didn't say anything, just shook their head 'no' and rubbed at their face. They hadn't shed any tears however. Roman left the group after another second and returned with Bev, the purple triceratops. Virgil took the stuffed animal graciously and hugged it close to themself. They flicked their eyes across the screen yet again and the video went away, they were back at the page of three images. Virgil took a shuddering breath before standing up and turning to the group.

"Seers are able to see into the future." Virgil said forcibly. "They can see all the possible paths that a person or even a planet might be able to live. They can create light when they need it most. Seers are only supposed to have children with other Seers because they're cursed." Virgil sounded like they were pushing this information out almost unwillingly. "They're resigned to a fate worse than death. I-I just don't know what. My-hmm, the Dragon Witch-"

Virgil stopped.

"Virgey?" Patton wanted to reach a hand over to Virgil's shoulder but he stopped himself.

"Can I have that Monster Energy now?" Virgil asked Remus desperately.

Remus nodded and left the room quickly.

"It's like one am is that really a good-" Logan was interrupted when Remus returned with the already open purple monster energy and he handed it to Virgil.

Virgil practically chugged it. "Shit this is a lot."

"It is." Thomas nodded. "You-you should take a break."

Virgil wasn't listening, they sat back down, handed the mostly empty monster energy to Roman, and stared at the file labeled ForVOnly.log until it opened. The screen showed a field. Green and flowing an idyllic blue sky behind it and purple flowers smattering the ground like a painting. The camera started moving, like someone was walking while carrying it.

"Okay, I think I've got it working now." Hypatia's voice said, the underlying sadness in her tone was gone from when Janus had last heard her speak.

"You should really learn how to use that thing!" A far off but familiar voice called.

"Oh I'm sorry Pallas we can't all be perfect like you!" Hypatia called back.

"I never said I was perfect Love." Pallas' voice was getting closer.

"Mmm but it was implied." Hypatia giggled.

"So, how much longer?" Pallas asked. The camera was now facing only the sky.

"Not much I don't think." Hypatia told her. "Oh look, there!"

A breach, not unlike the ones that produced the monsters the Power Rangers had been fighting appeared. The two women ran to it, the camera almost dropping once or twice. Then a familiar face appeared out of the breach, Astromania. Her color scheme the same as when the Rangers had fought her first. With her was another general, this one Janus didn't recognize. But she held a little bundle in her arms.

"Hypatia!" The second general said with glee.

"Jemina!" Hypatia laughed. "Astro."

"It's good to see you." Astromania said sweetly.

"It's good to see you too. Even for this short time." Hypatia agreed.

"I wish it was for longer." Jemina admitted, walking off screen and coming back bundle-less.

"So do I." Hypatia responded. "Is there any news though?"

"No, her efforts are still mostly focused on that Earth planet. She hasn't said anything about you two." Astromania stated. "Now, it's time for us to go. We'll tell the others you're well. What should we bring on our next visit?"

"Any information you can about Earth." Hypatia said quickly. "And some of Virgil's things. Toys and such."

"Got it." Jemina nodded. She walked over and gave Hypatia a hug with Astromania. When she pulled away she gave a look off camera and a little wave. "Goodbye Virgil."

Astromania reached over and grasped Jemina's hand, pulling her through the breach, both looking back and waving with smiles.

"Why'd you ask about Earth?" Pallas asked once the two and their breach were gone.

"I'll tell you later." Hypatia said. She panned the camera around and Janus got a good view of Pallas, her skin was a dark dark pink and her hair was sleek black and done in braids. The tall and muscular woman held this bundle of blankets in her arms almost comically softly. "Right now, we have a Star to attend to."

Pallas laughed and looked down, swirling a finger above the blankets and cooing at what Janus had guessed was baby Virgil inside.

The screen's image changed. Cut away like some YouTube channel edited together. Now they were inside a building, it looked like a kitchen. Pallas stepped back from the camera and smiled before calling Hypatia's name. The woman walked in, holding the baby against her chest, Virgil's head resting on her shoulder as she gave Pallas a sweet kiss and inspected whatever she was cooking off screen.

"Smells amazing Love." Hypatia said.

"I'd hope so." Pallas snickered. She leaned over to the camera and gave it a smug smile. "Your sister doesn't always trust my cooking. You accidentally poison her once and suddenly nothing you make can be trusted. I always have to take the first bite."

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" Pallas gave the camera another smirk before backing off again.

"That's the door!" Hypatia called.

"I've got it." Pallas walked away. Some greetings and cheers could be heard before Pallas and more pink-skinned people returned.

"Where's the baby?!" One of them asked.

"Calm down Danaë." A lighter one chastised.

"Pallas it smells amazing in here." A third said.

"I brought bread!!" The final one shouted. The group laughed.

"You're here!" Hypatia suddenly returned, Virgil still on her hip.

"Hypatia!"

"Oh there's the babe."

The group continued to chatter before Pallas called them to a bit of order and everyone sat down around the table. Hypatia laid Virgil in a crib beside the table and her and Pallas began serving the food around. The others passed dishes of food amongst each other and one left before returning with drinks for the whole group.

"Okay, before we begin, let's do some introductions." Pallas said, walking over to the camera and grabbing it, turning it around to the group.

"For Virgil?"

"Mhm."

"This is the family.," Pallas pointed the camera at one of the women, her skin was closer to a bubble gum color than anything else and she smiled at the camera. "Meet Hemithea, she's the sort of mother of our group. She takes care of us well." It was quiet for a beat. "Would you like to say anything?"

"Oh! Uhm sure!" Hemithea ran a hand through her silvery hair before looking up to the camera. "I can't wait to meet you someday Virgil."

Pallas panned over to the next person. "This is Iolaus. He's a sweetheart. No matter what he tries to tell you." The man gave an exacerbated look before smiling at the camera similarly to Hemithea.

"I hope you take after your sister Virgil, she's much nicer than Pallas." He said.

"Rude." Pallas reached a hand forward and shoved at his face.

"Okay okay my turn to say something to Virgil!" The next person said. Pallas laughed and indulged her.

"Virgil this is Danaë and she has not shut up about you since Hypatia told us you were born." Pallas said.

"I've always wanted to see a Seer baby!" She said. "The myths were right, you have the prettiest of eyes. Even though they won't last."

"Alright, can we put the camera down and just eat?" Hemithea asked.

"I'm getting hungryyyyyy." Hypatia whined.

"Okay okay." Pallas laughed.

The screen cut away again.

This time someone else was holding the camera. Judging by the finger that obscured a bit of the corner Danaë was holding it. She pointed the camera down and the group now saw the top of Iolaus' head and their first look at little baby Virgil. They were probably only a few months old guessing by how small they were, their hair was still as unruly and dark as it was now though. Janus couldn't help the little 'aww' that came out of his mouth.

"You're probably the best behaved baby I've ever known." Iolaus muttered. "I have to wonder if you have any voice at all. I've never heard a peep from you."

"Virgil's just happy here with us." Danaë said.

"Any news?" A panicked sounding Hypatia asked to the right of the camera.

"No I'm afraid not." Hemithea said.

"Oh Pallas." Hypatia sighed.

Danaë pointed the camera up to show Hypatia pacing across the kitchen floor. Hemithea closing the door behind her.

"Pallas is gonna be alright." Danaë said. "She's like the most badass woman ever."

"Pallas has her limits." Hypatia pulled her arms up around her body. "She-she-"

"She's here!" Iolaus said suddenly, hopping up from his seat and pulling Virgil closer to him.

"What?!" Hypatia practically shouted with hope.

"Look!" He pointed out the window and Danaë ran to it with the camera, pointing it out at a familiar field. She zoomed the lens in and far off a figure was starting to emerge.

"Pallas!" Hypatia screeched and ran out of the door. Hemithea wasn't far behind her and Danaë followed the two. The sounds of running footsteps and crushed weeds were soft compared to the wind that whipped by.

Danaë stopped running and pointed the camera forward, in front of her Hypatia still ran until she had jumped into Pallas' arms. Her tan arms wrapped around Pallas' neck as the two held each other. Danaë turned the camera around to her face and she smiled giddily before turning it back again.

"You know Virgil, Hypatia was changed the day she met Pallas. I didn't know her before, but I know she wasn't like this. She'll tell you that love is what changed her, and that she can't wait for love to change you too." Danaë spoke quietly. "But the truth is, Hypatia was changed, because she wanted to be. It wasn't just Pallas, it wasn't us, it was her. She did it. She's still doing it."

"Love helped her along the way." Iolaus said beside Danaë who faced the camera to him and Virgil. "But her growth has been all hers."

"I hope we get to see you grow." Danaë said to the little baby in Iolaus' arms.

The screen cut away from the bright field. This time it was dark. The home the camera was being walked around in was the same as before, but it seemed like a different part of it.

"Hypatia?" Pallas asked the dark hallway. She arrived outside a door and pushed it open.

Inside purple orbs were scattered along the ceiling lighting the room in a comforting glow. Janus could see Hypatia sitting on her knees, little lights flickering across her fingers, and baby Virgil laid on the rug, looking up at the purple light with an innocent expression.

"Shh." Hypatia said, looking up at Pallas and smiling, her eyes a little watery. "Virgil likes the quiet."

Pallas walked over to the two, she sat across from Hypatia, baby Virgil and their sister both in frame as she reached a hand over to cradle Hypatia's face. The woman leaned into her touch and formed a little orb in her hands, letting the baby reach up and grab at it, a little baby smile on their face. Then Hypatia began to hum. It was soft, almost too quiet for the audio to pick up, but Virgil heard it. And in the chair Virgil let themself cry for the second time that night. They put a hand to their mouth and tried to muffle their own sounds so they could hear her humming better. On the screen little baby Virgil opened their mouth and started making little noises. If Janus didn't know better he'd say that baby Virge was trying to sing along.

When the shot changed again Virgil stopped the video. The Power Rangers stepped away as Virgil got up again, their hand still covered their mouth and they started wiping at their tears again. Virgil turned around to the group, their tear stained face looked ready to start crying again at any moment. When Virgil stretched their arms out no one wasted time, enveloping them in a group hug. Letting Virgil cry in the comfort of their arms.
