Granted, welcome to the world of Sentai. You probably already know the drill: vague evil organization wants to do a vague evil plan on Earth, people get selected to become heroes in tight suits, once a week they beat up a monster (usually twice, once at normal size and once in a giant-vs-mecha battle), wash rinse repeat. There are a few differences, though.
You don't get a proper team, for starters. You might get some support staff like a cute mascot advisor or an unsexy robot to maintain and repair your equipment; but you don't have other suited-up Sentai teammates to help you out. This is less problematic than it sounds, because the villains are embarassingly weak: the monsters-of-the-week of your world are barely harder than a Power Ranger mook, and the evil mooks of your world are barely harder than a thrown pillow. There's basically no risk in fighting them, except in the very rare occasions where *drama* and *plot* are required; and even then, you probably won't suffer any long-term harm.
So where's the issue? Well, remember how I said that you don't get Sentai teammates? Well, what you DO get, is Sentai rivals. Their job is to beat up the "bad guys", same as you; and just like you, they get paid depending on how many "bad guys" they defeat. Naturally, this system led to Sentais competing against each other to try to steal the most "kills". In fact, there are more fights between Sentai heroines that there are between heroines and villains. Sometimes the villains will take advantage of these fights to capture or defeat the heroines while they're busy sabotaging each other.
As you can imagine, this kind of situation would lead to having plenty of rivalries that could turn into romance or frenemy stuff. There IS still the issue of the mask, though. See, Sentai heroines usually go masked during their missions, right? And then they revert to a civilian identity when they aren't battling.
