Earlier that day...

Beep Beep Bee- *click*

As an alarm clock begin to ring, A small and quick golden furred paw quickly turned it off. The one who turned it off was Lincoln Forest who was getting ready for his first meeting as a new member of The Galactic Rangers.

But he was also a bit nervous about today since he has a small secret;

Link is on the spectrum.

Sometimes Link feels like he's different than others. He has problems being in big crowds and he HATES loud noise. He also has bad nerves and he gets panic attacks when he's overwhelmed.

His diagnosis was the main reason why he was bullied when he was in school. A lot of aliens thought he was too dumb to become a Galactic Ranger, let alone anything because of his autism and his stutter when he was younger. He always remembered the words that the bully said to him every single time he passes through the hallway:

"Watch it! Freak!"

"well well well. why isn't it L-L-L-Loser L-L-Lincoln!"

"You weirdo!"

"you'll never become a Galactic Ranger! the only thing you ever been is a janitor!"

Even though how much Lincoln tried to get those words out of his head that keep building up, causing him to accidentally break something in his apartment. But this time, he was able to take his daily nerve pills before doing so.

Lincoln pants as he begins to calm down, blue static electricity twitch in his paws. He is right now going through the stage where a Kraetsiz's powers is first awakened, meaning he needs to learn how to control his newfound powers as well. If not, it can become really dangerous, especially since his element was electricity.

Anyways, after he fully calms down, Link goes to his laptop he goes into his contacts. He clicks on the icon that says "mom and dad" as A fluffy brown female Kratz and a skinny blue, black and White Kratz answers the call.

"oh hi Linke!" Greeted Heather, The brown tabby female. "hey Mom! hey Dad!" Lincoln spoke Cheerfully. "how was your first day and Megalopolis?"  Asks Hunter, the blue Kratz. "Great." Lincoln replyed, "It was great." "that's good!" Heather mewed, "so are you excited to meet The Galactic Rangers?"

"Yes very! Though I'm a bit nervous..."

"what makes you so nervous sweetie?"

"I'm just scared that they may judge me because of my......disability...."

Heather frowned, "Lincoln, Autism is NOT disability." She said, "just think of it as a different ability. You may be different from others but I know that you will rise up to the top." "shoot for the moon, boy." Hunter added, "if you miss, you'll land on the stars."

Lincoln smiled as his parents, grateful for their encouraging advice, "thanks Mom. Thanks Dad." He said, "I needed that.." "anytime son." Hunter smiled, "anytime." "well we might as well let you go now." Said Heather, "we don't want you to be late for your first day." "OK." Link said, "I'll call you back later." "we love you Linke!" Heather meowed, "I love you too Mom, Dad." Lincoln purred as his parents hung up on him.

Link then closes his laptop and puts it in his bag along with several work papers. But before he left, he looks over at a picture of him......and a dark navy female Kraetsiz with white details and blue eyes. "I miss you Sissy....." Lincoln sighs before leaving his apartment and went off to the GR base.
