"Yeah, I get that part. But why get cover ID's and go live normal lives if the plan was to send you guys back when you grew up? Why not just stay with SPD themselves?"

"Sky's parents stayed," Bridge says. "His dad was a Ranger, actually."

"Not exactly, no." Bridge admits. "Sky has his dad's helmet, actually. They gave it to him, after he... it's really kind of creepy."

"Like those full-face thingies Conner and Anders were wearing at Caritas? They gave that to a little kid?" Xander raises an eyebrow. "That's... okay I guess I can't talk from creepy, 'cause dude, Sunnydale. But still."

"Yeah," Bridge nods. "He kept it in our room at the Academy. Not, like, out where people could see it? But it was still *there*."

"LIke I said, I can't talk from morbid considering I grew up in a town where people raise their dead relatives from the grave and try to build-a-girfriend for them, among other healthy ways of coping with loss," Xander points out. "But I can see where your parents might've thought it was a good idea to let you grow up somewhere safer than SPD."

"You may have a point," Bridge admits, only somewhat grudgingly.
