1x07: Big Sisters

Kieran watched laughing at the sight of the happening, as the guys who had been in the showers were running out of them half-naked and he shook his head.

"I am really glad, that I like cold showers in the morning." He said, as he walked over to where the hot water shut-off was and he looked down at the little girl, that was in front of it. "Hey Kimberly! Hey Trini! I think I found the kid!" Kieran called out and at his call, Trini and Kimberly came running over and started to talk to Maria.

Kieran turned the hot water back on and he shuts the door again on it. He looked around quickly to see that both Zack and Jason, were motioning for him to rejoin their fight.

Kieran jogged over and nearly knocked Zack over, who missed the block and managed to flip out of the way. "You turned the hot water back on, right?" Jason asked as Kieran was nodding and Jason hit the ground, as Kieran's leg had swiped his brother's out from under him. "I deserved that, I know." Jason mumbled and Kieran was the first one to hit the shower.

Kieran came out of the showers wearing a bronze-colored flannel and a pair of shorts, as he stretched and at the sight of Jason, he went around the others to sit with Liliana and Erica, as they were at a table nearby. "Hey Kieran. Did you get caught in the hot water shut-off too?" Erica asked and Kieran shook his head, as his still-wet hair sent droplets everywhere and he sat down.

"Nope, I got lucky. I was the one who turned it back on, not that it mattered even. I must be the only guy who does not give a shit, as to whether any of the water is either ice-cold or scalding hot." Kieran said with a shrug at the words, as Ernie brought him his new favorite smoothie, a combination of a orange-pineapple-mango with a hint of strawberry. "Thanks Ernie!" He said and Ernie waved in acknowledgment, as Kieran sipped at it.

"Hopefully Kimberly and Trini know what they are getting themselves into, with watching that kid. I have enough problems dealing with Liliana over here." Erica said and Liliana glared at her with a indignant look on her face.

"I am younger than you, by all of ten minutes!" Liliana retorted and Kieran watched them with amusement on his face, as they looked at each other and finally, they seemed to remember that he was there. "She acts younger than our age."

"You're projecting again." Erica said.

"Shut up!"

"No, you shut up!"

"Back off!"

"Would you two, please, stop the shouting at each other?" Kieran asked as he had his hands clamped over his ears, hearing their voices at a certain extremely high volume. Even when they weren't actually speaking, that loudly. "Your volume is way too high at the moment." Kieran muttered and they looked at each other, right before they looked at him.

"Kieran... we were barely speaking at the normal volume." Erica pointed out and both sets of eyes were concerned.

"Right, sorry, I've got a headache." It was a terrible excuse and not a good look for him either, as Kieran stood up and ran out of the Youth Center.

Jason and the others started to drag Kieran into the car, as Kieran hated at least to his knowledge, any small spaces.

"Fine! If only to understand now, whatever the hell is wrong with my ears and my nose... my god, Jason, you need a shower." He said and he plugged his nose, as Jason looked at him with confusion, before he lifted his arms and smelled them with the same confusion and his face twisted with disgust.

"I don't know how you knew that, but I'm not too happy about it." Jason said, and Kieran rolled his eyes, and Billy drove off with them all crammed into the "Rad Bug" as he had named it.

Kieran had to be left behind at the Command Center, while Zordon and Alpha 5 were running tests on him to see what was going on with his sense of smell and his hearing. Kieran was sitting on a table, wincing every time that Alpha clicked a button or turned a knob. "What is going on with me?"

"Kieran, you appear to have begun taking on aspects of the Direwolf. It is clear that your hearing will stay this way and your sense of smell will only get more keen. Your eyes will adjust and even aspects to your personality, may change..."

"But, why me? No one else is having these types of side effects from them bonding with their Power Coins? Why is it only me?" Kieran asked as Zordon sighed.

"I do not understand much more than you on this subject, Kieran but you embody the traits that the coin finds exemplary and important. It has, from what I have seen, begun to gift you aspects of what made a direwolf such a unique species in the era, from when it lived." That was Zordon's best guess on the matter and Kieran sighed, briefly blinking at the words.

"So, you are basically saying, that I will never be fully human again? Is that it?" Kieran questioned and Zordon nodded.

"Yes, that is correct Kieran. These abilities, they will stay with you, as they are bonded to your DNA, until the day you die." Zordon explained, as Kieran looked at the ground as his hands were trembling.

"Good thing I have my headphones, I suppose." He murmured and Alpha 5 had gotten teleportation back up, so Kieran was able to teleport directly back into his room at home, where he immediately grabbed his headphones, and music played through him and he slipped them on over his ears.

The communicator beeped and Kieran sighed, as he tapped it and Zordon's voice came through. "We are in the process of adjusting your helmet in order to limit the amount of sounds that your ears will be able to pick up. In an effort to help you focus on the fight and have less pain while doing so."

"Thank you, Zordon." Kieran murmured and the line disconnected and he heard a knock on his door and he looked up, as Jason stood in the doorway and Kieran just watched him for a few moments of silence, unsure of what he was doing in his doorway.

"I'm sorry about your hearing." Was almost nothing, but Kieran felt the big schism that had been dividing them for the last while, it started to close at the words.

"Thanks Jase." He said and Jason shut the door, and Kieran picked up a book as he started to read with music in his ears.
