In shambles

5

It took all of Adam's stength to explain Rocky's interference. Jason was beyond pissed and Justin was down in the dumps about not being able to pull the plan off. Tommy was still not used to Jason's overpowering personality. He knew it's what gave the red ranger his cool head under pressure and guided people to him as a leader. It didn't mean he was easy to talk to however. So Tommy figured that he'd let Jason cool off for a while Kat seemed to be difusing the situation better than he could.

He found Justin just outside the command center. The boy looked dejected and just downright depressed. Tommy walked over quietly. He was always shy as a kid and still had the habit of being nervous in situations where the conversation would undoubtly turn personal. It was for this reason that he found it so hard to be honest about his feelings and Kim and Jason suffered for it.

"Hey." Tommy interjected into the silence. Justin shrugged and just stared into space. "I just want this to be over Tommy." Tommy stood silent. Justin continued. "This whole thing, I just wish the fighting could be over." He sighed and shrugged again. "I'm so lonely here. I'm out of place, like I shouldn't be here yet." Tommy searched for some words. "I can't be a ranger if everyone protects me, but then, I don't even feel like a ranger most of the time. I just want to be a kid or a ranger and somehow I'm stuck being both." He seemed to get more upset. Tommy just made himself more attentive. "Tommy, I'm...scared." Tommy walked up and placed his arm across Justin's shoulders. "We all are sometimes. Everthying you're thinking of now?...it's everything I thought of when Jason asked me to join the team." His arm squeezed Justin to him a little.

"Tommy, I...can't really talk to you about this." Justin said, suddenly he started shaking. Tears streaked down his face and he shook his head. "It's not your fault...it wasn't you....but in this place..." He didn't want to say it. He knew Tommy just wanted to help. "Tell me bud." Tommy calmly insisted. "In this time, the green ranger killed my parents." And like a shot Tommy was bolt upright. Terrified by this reavelation. He didn't even have words. Nothing would come to him. However, he calmed down when the boy turned to him and gave him a hug as he continued to cry. "I'm sorry, I just can't help it." Tommy Knelt down so he could hug him better. "No, I'm sorry Justin. And I'll do whatever I can to make him pay for his crimes." Justin didn't respond. However, Tommy knew he'd heard him.

So here they were alone at last. Two heroes pulled from their time and dimension to do battle for another Zordon and another group of rangers. Tommy was still overwhelmed a bit by his powers and Jason was completely calm and collected. He seemed to realize the shear gravity of the situation they were in and he wasn't flinching or panicking. Tommy admired him for that.

"So what do we do now?" Tommy asked simply. Jason shrugged "we'll find another opportunity. Though I suspect Billy has discovered we tricked them. So doing it again will be damned near impossible." Jason looked over Tommy who still looked distant and distracted. Jason sighed. "Is something on your mind bro?" Tommy shrugged off the question, but then decided to answer.

"Did you know I killed Justin's parents?" He caught himself then added. "I mean, not me, but me here." I keep wondering, what if there's a Justin back on our earth. Or what if I've laid waste to so many other earths."

Jason didn't say a word. How could he? He didn't understand how Tommy was used and controlled to destroy and do evil. And he didn't know how to ease his friend's mind. "I swear to you now Jase, I'm going to do all I can to help here and then, I'm going to finish this Green Ranger if it's the last thing I do." He said hallowly. Jason added to the silence that followed. "Just don't lose yourself in the process bro."

They both knew that was easier said than done.

Adam didn't know what to say to Rocky, he understood why he did what he did. However, he didn't know why Rocky had come all the way here. They had agreed when Adam left that Rocky wouldn't follow him. And yet now it seemed he had. Not only had the poor boy ruined their plan discovered the identities of all the rangers and put himself at risk of a beat down by their new leader. He had made Adams life all the more complex. Now it was on again. No doubt about it. It was only a matter of time before they found eachother's comfort to tempting to resist. He just hoped that Rocky would understand when the balance of life came through, the power comes first.
