Chapter 5: Arguments and a team up.

Chelbell2016:

First original chapter of this season.

*Kick into overdrive*

Courtney's POV:

Both my father and godfather are stood with there arms crossed glaring at me.

"Athena," my dad says while Daggeron nods. "Is there something wrong with your phone?"

I decide to play innocent. "You know now that you mention it its been on the fritz lately."

He glares at me and I decide to just come out with the truth.

"No," I say.

"Then why do you feel the need to ignore my phone calls?" He asks.

RJ approaches.

"Hello," he says giving me a small smile. "Welcome to jungle Karma pizza. Can I offer you a table and some pizza?"

Daggeron and my dad share a look before my dad nods. "That would be lovely thank you."

I send RJ a look as I head over to the table with them.

"Look dad," I begin slowly. "I haven't rang you back because I don't want you to overreact. Right now a lot is going on. Ever since my last battle with the overdrive rangers. You've been really overprotective and not let me go anywhere. I am at an age where I need to spread my wings. Yes that last battle was brutal.... yes I nearly died but you cannot keep treating me like a piece of glass."

I go silent and let them both ponder this as the pizza is brought over by Casey.

"Here you go Courtney," he says smiling at me.

"Thanks," I say back.

I take a slice of pizza before pushing the plate towards the two mystics.

"Courtney," Daggeron says. "We didn't want you to feel like we were pushing you. When sentinel knight and the other rangers brought you to us that day.... you do not know how scared we were. We feared that you were never going to wake up."

"For weeks," Dad continues gently. "No one smiled. We waited for news on Azantys and sat by your side. Then when you finally woke up I hoped to god that I would never loose you again. I didn't mean to treat you like a porcelain doll and I am sorry I did. But you worried us when you refused to answer our phone calls."

"We worried something else had happened to you," Daggeron explains. "Even Bowen and your mother wanted to come but we managed to talk them into letting us come instead. Please understand that we did not do this to upset you."

I nod. "I understand but I wish you would let me come to you when I was ready."

Before anything else can be said Lily comes running over.

"Courtney sorry to disturb you but we are needed upstairs," she says vividly.

I know what she means but the others still do not know I was a ranger four times before. I just don't know how to tell them.

I turn to my father and godfather.

"I just need to sort this out," I say getting to my feet and moving towards the back. "I'll see you later."

I head up the stairs and we are forced straight into battle.

*Force of a snow leopard*

As we arrive morphed we see Leopodina. She is stood with a new Rin shi. It has the spirit of a gorilla.
