See You Again Chapter 12

"There it is.." Jason said as he stopped and felt the other three bump into him from behind. He turned to see Kim seemed fixated on the spot. No doubt she was having the same memories he was.

"Or what's left of it.." Kim stated.

"Yeah, definitely a big explosion happened here." Zack said as he looked around at the charred trees and the mountain in front of him with a giant hole in the side of it.

"Yeah.. it was more than just a lava eruption." Jason responded before he started to take a few steps. Kim reached out to grab him to hault his momentum. He turned to her.

"Maybe we should morph before we go in there?" Kim suggested. Jason glanced back at the other two before reconnecting with Kim's gaze.

"We should wait... we don't want to run out of power before anything even happens." Jason responded. Kim nodded.

"Hold up.. what you expect we are going to find in there?" Zack asked as he stepped up to stand next to Jason.

"Not sure what's left, but it was a pit.. a temple to Maligore.. and that's about it." Jason answered.

"And you are sure Maligore is gone?" Trini questioned.

"We saw him get destroyed by the Megazord." Kim answered to which Jason nodded in agreement.

"I have a bad feeling.." Trini confessed.

"I think we all do." Zack replied.

"If Billy is in there.. we gotta go, just be ready." Jason stated. The rest of the group nodded and fell in line behind him as he made his way down a path that led to a door on the side of the mountain. It was standing half open and Jason tentatively reached out to pull it the rest of the way.

"I hate this place." Kim stated, almost to herself as Jason disappeared inside the door. Zack was close behind him and then Trini. Kim took a big breath and then followed the group inside.

"Hold up.." Jason said as he stopped and the group gathered behind him.

"What is it?" Trini asked.

"I hear something." Jason responded. The rest of the Rangers strained to hear what he did but none did. All three trusted Jason's instincts enough to know there was definitely something there. Jason turned to them. "Around this corner will be the temple.... the plan is simple.. find Billy as fast as you can and get out of here."

"Got it." Zack replied, while Trini and Kim nodded. Jason started to slowly make his way around the corner to the opening of the temple. Immediately his eyes fell on the pit in the middle of the room and he felt a shiver go up his spine. He closed his eyes and pushed the negative thoughts out of his mind. Soon he felt the other three in line with him and he glanced over at Kimberly and could feel she was doing the same as him right now.

"Seems.. deserted." Zack said as he glanced around.

"I don't think so." Kim reacted as she slowly made her way over to the pit. Jason started to stop her but suddenly he felt compelled to follow her. Zack and Trini exchanged glances and followed behind the other two as they were now within a few feet of the pit opening.

"Oh my god!" Kim exclaimed.

"Billy!" Jason reacted as he got a look inside the opening to the pit. Zack and Trini raced up to peer inside to see Billy lying on a net just a few feet above what appeared to be boiling lava.

"Jason we gotta get to him." Kim said.

"Billy.. Billy!" Trini shouted at him for any sign of life. She felt her heart sinking when he did not stir. She looked up at Jason who was clearly clinching his teeth, from either anger or worry.. or both.

"He's too far down." Zack said as he knelt over the pit and reached as far down as he could.

"Let's form a chain." Jason suggested. Zack nodded and got up.

"I'll go down." Trini volunteered and stepped up on the ledge. Zack then took her by the hands to allow her to lower herself over the edge. Kimberly then grabbed Zack's free hand to allow him to begin to climb over the ledge. Jason grabbed Kimberly's hand and sunk his feet into the ground behind them to hold the whole thing steady.

"Be careful guys.. if you fall, you may break the net." Jason said through clinched teeth as he supported the three people.

"Got it." Trini responded from inside the pit as she felt her feet come in contact with the net. She locked eyes with Zack who was extending himself head first down holding onto her. She nodded and he did to. "Let go."

"Be careful girl." Zack said as he reluctantly released her full weight onto the net to allow her to attempt to reach down to Billy.

"Billy.. Billy.. can you hear me?" Trini asked as knelt down on the net, unnerved at the way it teetered. She felt for a pulse and found one. She turned back up to Zack. "He's breathing."

"Thank God." Zack said. "Grab him and pull him over to me."

"I'll try." Trini replied as he pulled Billy's arm up to place it around her neck in an attempt to stand him up with her. She found the task difficult, not so much due to Billy's dead weight, but more so to their unsure footing. She used all of her strength to push Billy's body over to Zack's open arms as he got a grip on him.

"I'll be right back down for you, okay?" Zack said directed at Trini as he held Billy tight to him.

"Okay." Trini replied.

"Okay guys.. lift.." Zack called up to Jason and Kimberly. Trini watched as slowly but surely Zack and Billy began to be lifted up and away from her. After a few moments all of them disappeared from sight. She glanced around and felt an overwhelming sense of fear and dread as she felt the heat of the pit below her. She closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind. She was startled when she heard movement above and opened her eyes to see being lowered back down to her. She smiled at him and he returned the gesture.

"It's good to see you again." Trini remarked as she walked over and grabbed onto his hands.

"Always a pleasure." Zack responded. "Okay guys.. we are ready."

Trini felt them being raised and the air around her got cooler and cooler a she got farther away from the pit. Soon she was above the ledge and could see the Herculean effort Jason was putting in to pull the group as most of it fell on his shoulders due their configuration. With one last pull she was free and hurriedly lifted herself over the ledge and to the ground.

"Check on him.." Jason said as he caught his breath and nodded over to where they had placed Billy. Zack reached him first and confirmed Trini's earlier report of breathing and a pulse.

"He's alive.. but why won't he wake up?" Zack asked as he turned to the group. Trini raced over to his side and took Billy by the hand.

"And how did he get down there?" Kim asked as she too knelt beside Billy.

"Someone put him there." Jason stated as he glanced around the temple.

"Yeah.. but why?" Zack questioned as he too stood up and began to look around.

"Kimberly and I.." Jason began. "We were lowered into that pit to be sacrifices to Maligore."

"You think that's what this was too?" Zack inquired.

"It can't be.. I mean.. Maligore is gone." Kim answered as she stood up to join the two.

"Doesn't make sense.. if they wanted to kill him.. why the net?" Zack asked.

"Beats me.." Jason replied.

"Why would anyone want to kill Billy anyway?" Kim added to the growing number of questions they all shared.

"Let's just get out of here." Jason said as he walked over and knelt down next to Billy. "Prepare to teleport."

Jason pressed his communicator, there was a spark but then it faded out. No one had teleported.

"What gives?" Zack asked.

"It's probably this place... let's get outside and we'll try it again." Jason answered, trying to remain calm. He reached down and scooped Billy off the ground. The group started making their way towards the exit when Jason cried out in pain. The group turned to see him being held from behind the throat. Billy's body had fallen to the ground at his feet and Jason was struggling to break free from his captor.

"Jase!" Zack exclaimed as he started to move towards Jason.

"I wouldn't." Jason's captor warned and Jason let out an audible groan as he squeezed tighter.

"Let him go!" Kim shouted as she clinched her fists and stepped forward to get a better look at who held Jason. She could see the figure was dressed in a black cloak that concealed all of his body. She strained to see his face but could only make out two light red reflections, she assumed where the eyes.

"Why are you here... who are you?" The unknown assailant asked as he backed Jason farther away from the group.

"We came here for our friend.. who are you?" Zack asked as he fought the urge to rush to free Jason.

"Why did you remove Maligore's sacrifice?" the cloaked figure asked.

"That's our friend, he is no sacrifice." Trini answered.

"And Maligore.. he's dead." Kim added. The figure stopped and turned his attention to her.

"Dead... you lie." was the response.

"I don't.. he was destroyed." Kim answered.

"How?" The cloaked figure questioned in disbelief.

"The Power Rangers." Kim replied. There was silence and Kim turned to make eye contact with Zack.

"Maligore... gone.." The figure stated.. his piercing voice now sounding distraught. "I have failed.."

"I don't know what you are going on about.. but let Jason go." Zack said. Zack was surprised when he saw Jason fall to the ground. Kim wasted no time rushing over to him. Zack stepped between them and the cloaked stranger who turned around and walked over to peer into the pit.

"Okay.. we gotta get out of here now... Jase.. you with us?" Zack asked as he knelt down over Jason. Jason nodded his head and with Kim and Zack's help he got to his feet. They all three walked over to Trini who was hovering over Billy. Zack knelt to pick Billy up.

"NO!" The cry of the cloaked figure echoed throughout the temple and Jason turned to see a green glow emanating from his body under the cloak. Soon the figure turned to the group and they got a look at his face for the first time. The face was merely a skeleton with glowing red orbs for eyes.

"Guys.. let's move." Jason said as he helped Zack with Billy.

"Stop!" the figure exclaimed as he somehow now appeared in front of the group blocking the exit.

"Woah.." Zack responded as the group stopped.

"If Maligore is gone as you say.. then it is my place to succeed him.. to continue his legacy." the figure stated to the group.

"Look.. bones.. I don't know who you are or what you are talking about, but you need to move." Zack said, growing more agitated.

"My name is Kiltore... I am Maligore's guardian.. it was my sacred duty to guard his temple.. and I failed." Kiltore replied. "I was away.. searching for power... I left him unguarded.."

"Yeah... look that sucks for you.. but if you don't let us go, you are going to join your old boss." Zack responded.

"That's enough.. you will not speak to me that way." Kiltore reacted. His eyes glowed a brighter shade of red. "I sensed power.. when this friend of yours craft was overhead.. it's why I pulled him to the island.. and now.. I sense the same power with you.."

"Yeah... even more reason to step aside." Jason spoke up.

"On the contrary.." Kiltore responded. "I desire power.. and I will have yours."

"Okay.. guys.. looks like we are going to have to fight our way out of here." Jason said as he stepped in front of the group. "It's morphin' time!"

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!" Jason clinched his now gloved fist as he felt the power coursing through him once more. It was a high that was unique to this power, not duplicated as the Gold Rangers. He glanced around at his group and nodded as they seemed to be feeling the same way.

"Impressive magic.. I'll make great use of it." Kiltore remarked as he looked down the line.

"Gonna give you one last chance to let us out of here." Jason said. Kiltore changed him and grabbed him around the throat.

"And what do you think my answer to that is?" Kiltore asked before he flung Jason backwards into Trini and knocked them both to the ground.

"Take this." Zack said as he through a flying kick that Kiltore ducked. He hit Zack with a kick of his own that sent him spinning. Kimberly took advantage of this moment to flip behind Kiltore and kick him hard in the back of the leg, prompting him to lose his balance. She moved out of the way as she saw Jason charging him.

Jason tackled his larger opponent around the waist and ran him back into the rock wall. Their was a thud and dirt flew everywhere upon impact. Jason was about to step back and survey the damage when he felt a blow to his chest that knocked him to the ground.

"Over my many years of life... I have used my time to steal many magical powers.. and study many forms of combat.." Kiltore began as he stepped away from the wall. "You fight using modern martial arts training.. it is lacking in the discipline and power of the older forms."

"I'll show you power." Zack said as he threw a punch that was caught. He felt himself behind flipped aside with speed and ease.

"Your powers.. too.. I am familiar with... having encountered your kind before..." Kiltore continued.

"Jason... give me a boost." Trini said as she ran towards him. Jason ducked down and clasped his hands together to allow Trini to spring off of him. She did so and flew at Kiltore with a kick. He jumped up to meet her with a kick of his own that drove the air out of her and caused her to land at Jason's feet.

"I have taken those powers before..." Kiltore continued. "I feel a new form would be appropriate.."

Kim helped Trini to her feet and the group looked up to see their challenger changing his form. Kim looked over at Jason who was shaking his head as he saw the completed change.

"No.." Jason said under his breath as took in the sight before him. It was almost like looking in a mirror. Except the color before him was a dark hue of green with black in place of where his suit was white. There was no denying though, that the form he had taken on was that of a Power Ranger.

"Do you like...?" Kiltore asked with a sinister laugh.

"How...?" Zack asked.

"I told you.. I have taken the powers.. and lives.. of Power Rangers before.. this was my prize." Kiltore answered. Jason studied the costume and could immediately tell that it was drawing power from more than one Ranger. There were patches of it there were different colors and he could feel different energy radiating from those places.

"All of those former Rangers.." Jason said through clinched teeth. He felt an anger rising up inside of him, that he hadn't felt before. He had never met any of the Rangers who has powers had been stolen, this was all likely thousands of years before he morphed for the first time, but he felt a kinship with any Ranger, past or present. This served to anger him and motivate him for justice for them.

Jason rushed at Kiltore and unleashed a flurry of punches that were all blocked. He then through a knee that landed but the subsquent kick was blocked. He again tried a series of kicks that were all blocked. Jason began to feel that he was being toyed with and he did not like it. Sure enough his last kick was blocked and immediately he felt an elbow hit him under the chin and he staggered back into Kimberly who steadied him before he could fall.

"This guy is legit." Zack stated upon seeing Jason's lack of success with him.

"We'll see." Trini replied as she moved up to face him next. Her style was different than Jason and she wanted to test it against their newfound enemy. She unleashed a series of open palm strikes, that were all swatted away. She dipped to hit an elbow to the midsection but was met with a knee to her face before she could land the strike. She saw stars before her vision was filled with dirt from the ground below smearing her visor.

"That's it.." Zack said as he ran in. "You may know different styles.. but you won't know mine."

"Try me." Kiltore replied. Zack moved quickly with a spin kick, he anticipated it being blacked so he ducked really quick and rose up with with an uppercut but found his fist being stopped right underneath the chin of his challenger. He felt himself being flipped once more, but this time he landed on his feet and immediately threw a side kick that was once again batted away.

"He's distracted.." Jason said as he moved in to try to land a punch from behind. He did not expect that Kiltore would anticipate it and catch his hand while at the same time blocking a kick by Zack. Jason felt himself being pulled into Zack and the two crashed together and fell to the ground. Kimberly and Trini were quickly by their sides.

"This isn't working." Kim stated.

"I know.." Jason responded. "Everyone toge.."

"Hey.. where am I.." a voice from behind the group stopped Jason. They turned to see Billy sitting up and rubbing the back of his neck. Trini reached him first.

"Billy.. are you okay?" Trini asked. Billy looked at the Yellow Ranger in front of him like he had seen a ghost.

"Trini.. is that really you?" Billy asked as he reached out to run his hand across her helmet.

"It's me." Trini replied.

"How?" Billy asked.

"We've no time to explain." Jason answered as he walked over to Billy and offered a hand to help him up. "If you feel up to it.. we need you to morph."

"Jason... morph.. how.." Billy responded with confusion. Jason took Billy's hand and opened it. A blue flash briefly reflected in his visor and he looked up to see Billy's eyes widened as he took in the sight of the power coin in his hand.

"We need your help Billy.... you know what to do." Jason said. Billy nodded and looked behind him to see Zack and Kimberly trying in vein to get the upper hand on what appeared to be another Ranger.

"Triceratops!" Billy exclaimed and Jason stepped back at the Blue Ranger suit appeared over Billy.

"This guy is tough.. but we are all together now... so for old time's sake.. let's show him what we can do." Jason said as he placed a hand on Billy's shoulder.

"You got it Jase." Billy said, just as Kimberly landed next to him. Immediately Jason was reaching down to help her up. Zack backed up to stand with the group and smiled when he saw Billy.

"Alright.. the gangs all here." Zack said. Jason stepped forward.

"No more one on one.. let's do this as a team." Jason stated.

"You got it." Kim replied as all five of them charged Kiltore. Kim knew that he was bad news, but looking to her left and right surrounded by her friends, she had no fear.

Jason reached him slightly before anyone and through a punch. This punch landed, and immediately Zack's kick landed as well. Both Trini and Kimberly went low and kicked his knees. This action doubled him slightly enough for him to meet Billy's knee on it's way up. Kiltore staggered back into the ledge of the pit, steadying himself up against it.

"Well.." Kiltore spoke. He was seemingly at a loss for words as he looked at the group that was regrouping for another charge.

Kimberly reached him first this time. Kiltore was ready. He grabbed her by the arm and flung her behind him. He prepared for the rest of the onslaught that came and was rocked by punches and kicks from three of the four remaining Rangers.

"Kim!" Jason exclaimed in horror as he saw her flying over the edge of the pit. She was desperately reaching out for something to grab onto as she disappeared over the edge. "No..."

Anything... (Chapter 10)

AO3 Link (HERE)

Chapter 10

“Billy, do you see her?”

“No… Wait. Yes. I think so. She’s under here.”

Trini starts to slowly drift back into consciousness at the sound of Billy’s voice.

“Billy?” Trini manages to weakly croak out.

“Hold on, Trini. We’re going to get you out.”

Trini attempts to move, but finds that it’s of little use. She’s pinned down at multiple points of her body. Plus…

Trini feels weak. Beyond weak. Like everyday, average teenaged girl type of weak.

A tidal wave of panic laced with fear instantly washes over Trini.

Why does she feel so weak? What’s wrong with her powers? Where’s her--

“Fuck,” Trini screams out as a sudden burst of pain radiates down her body followed by a release of pressure. The main piece of concrete that up until this point has be pinning her down, slowly lifts upwards, allowing her to finally take a good look around.

Complete and utter destruction.

There are just no other words to describe it.

Trini can’t seem to recognize anything except for the random traces of semi-charred movie posters and popcorn containers. It’s just an endless sea of smoke, concrete rubble, and debris.

Did Tommy do this? It had to have been him, right?

But there’s no giant monster. No Putties. No sign of even Tommy himself. Then why--

“Sorry, Trini. Just one more piece. Promise,” Billy reassures her with a nervous smile.

Trini’s eyes rapidly blink as she adjusts to the harsh, almost blinding light. She fixates in on the sight of Billy before her as he struggles to lift the last piece of concrete off of her legs.

He shouldn’t be struggling.

Sure, it’s heavy. Hell, most people wouldn’t be able to even get that slab to budge an inch, let alone lift it off of the ground...

But, still, something isn’t right. He’s struggling too much.

Trini’s seen Billy fling thousand ton Putties in the air before one-handed.

No, something is wrong.

Trini’s hands wildly grope down towards her front, left pocket of her jeans, only to discover a massive, gaping hole where the pocket should be.

Shit… Shit… Shit…

Her power coin is gone.

“Billy, my coin--” Trini squeaks out with a partial cough, attempting to recover her voice.

“I know. Mine is gone too. So is Jason’s, Zack’s, and Kimberly’s.”

With one final grunt of effort, Billy pries the final piece of concrete off of Trini and then offers her a hand, helping her to her feet.

Trini does a quick once over of her body, testing out each and every one of her limbs for any injuries.

“You okay?”

“Yeah. Just a shit ton of cuts and bruises. You?”

Billy gives a nod in confirmation. “As far as I can tell, I only have a few lacerations. Luckily, we weren’t too close to the blast when it detonated.”

“Where’s everyone--”

“Right here, Crazy Girl.” Zack zig-zags his way through the mounds of debris, looking a bit haggard but, more or less, in one piece. “Just had to free Jase’s ass from the concessions stand. Or what’s left of it.”

“For the record, I wasn’t trapped in the concessions stand.” Jason emerges, following close behind Zack and sporting a noticeable limp. His left leg is caked with a thick layer of blood that appears to be oozing out of a mid thigh to knee sized gash. “You okay, T?”

“I think so. But where’s…” Trini trails off as Kimberly comes into view.

Kimberly staggers her way towards them, sporting a particularly nasty cut that run from her left eyebrow all the way up into the recesses of her hair. It’s clear that she’s taken a bad blow, but like the rest, is at least up and moving.

“Kim,” Trini exhales with a mixture of relief and concern as she scrambles to make up the distance between the two of them.

“Hey baby,” Kimberly responds weakly with a slight level of unsteadiness to her voice.

Trini securely wraps her arms around Kimberly, momentarily forgetting about her own injuries, and plants a tender kiss on her cheek. “You okay, Princess?”

Kimberly ever so slightly nods, letting her whole body relax into Trini’s. “I think so… Think I might’ve gotten a concussion from the blast, but otherwise I'm okay. Everything’s just a bit fuzzy.”

Trini guides Kimberly’s head down to rest in the crux between her head and shoulder and gently strokes her hair.

“I’ve got you,” Trini responds in nothing more than a whisper as she wraps her arms a bit tighter around Kimberly. Even though there’s thick layer of dirt and blood, she still can smell the distinct aroma of strawberries and wildflowers that she has come to associate with Kimberly and it’s nothing short of comforting.

“So what’s the plan? Cause we can’t do jack shit without our you-know-whats.” Zack makes a circle his thumbs and index fingers, pantomiming the shape of a coin while his eyes cautiously scan their surroundings for anyone who might be within earshot of their conversation. Although the nearest person is a good 100 or so feet away from them, it’s still far from safe to talk freely.

“We need to get to the ship and talk to Big Z. We’re vulnerable without our you-know-whats,” Jason responds, eyeing the nearby pockets crowd as well for anything out of the ordinary.

“Who’s Big… Oh! I’ve got it.” Billy’s eyes grow wide as he catches on to what Jason is trying to say.

“But we can’t enter the ship without our coins, right?” Trini asks Billy.

“Not exactly. No. But I’ve been working on this device with Alpha 5. It’s sorta like a teleporter. We haven’t fully tested it out yet, but in theory, it should allow us to bypass the protection shields and beam ourselves directly to the morphing grid. Or at least whoever’s wearing it.”

Zack excitedly reaches over and plants a sloppy kiss on Billy’s forehead. “Genius! Billy for the save.”

Billy recoils a bit, wiping the saliva off of his head. “Again. It hasn’t been tested. Well, that’s not 100% true. We tested it once with one of the lab rats that I borrowed from Dr. Green and it sorta worked.”

“Sorta?” Trini questions with a doubtful look.

“The rat made it… But he was missing his tail.”

A sobering silence circles the group as this information sinks in, then--

“Well, we’ve got no other choice.” Jason rubs the back of his neck and then straightens himself up a bit, putting more of his weight on his injured leg. “Where’s the device?”

“At my house.”

“Okay. Then we divide and conquer. Zack, Billy, and I will go to Billy’s house to retrieve the device while Trini--”

“On it.” Trini cuts Jason off, reading his mind. She secures her grip on Kimberly in confirmation.

“What? No, I’m okay. We shouldn’t split up.” Kimberly tenses up in Trini’s arms as the sudden realization of what Jason is suggesting hits her.

“Kim, you took a massive blow to the head.”

“And your leg is split wide open,” Kimberly fires back at Jason, motioning towards his gaping wound. “I’m okay.”

“Kim, please… Let’s just swing by my house? We can at least get a change of clothes. My jeans are one good rip away from begining cut-offs and your shirt isn’t much better. We’ll meet back up with them in 30 tops. Promise”

Kimberly lets out a heavy sigh. “Alright.”

“Good.” Trini gives Kimberly a reassuring smile before turning back towards Billy, Zack, and Jason. “30 mins at the cliffs.”

“Aye, Aye, Crazy Girl,” Zack responds as he grabs hold of Jason’s arm and hoists it over his shoulder.

“Zack, I’ve--”

“Quit fightin’ it. You need help, dude.” Zack motions to Billy to do the same on the other side of Jason, allowing for Jason to relieve some of the stress on his injured leg.

Zack and Billy adjust their grips on Jason and then start to help him navigate back through the maze of debris.

They progress a few feet before Jason pauses for a moment and looks back over his shoulder at Trini and Kimberly. “Trini--”

“I know. Be safe.” Trini finishes Jason’s thought with a strong nod in confirmation.

Trini and Kimberly wait a moment or two in silence, simply watching as Billy, Jason, and Zack disappear from view, then--

“C’mon, Princess. Let’s get out of here.”

Kimberly simply gives Trini’s hand an extra hard squeeze in response, unable to find her words.

As Trini leads Kimberly through the wreckage of debris, a singular thought starts to run rampant throughout her head…

She needs to tell Kimberly everything… before it’s too late.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

“Stay awake on me, Princess,” Trini huffs out with a heavy breath of air while giving Kimberly a firm shake in the process. “Just a few more steps.”

Trini hadn’t accounted for just how long -- or even more importantly how hard -- it would be to travel the few blocks from the Angel Grove theater back to her own house.

Sure, there was the expected barrage of police and rescue workers to actively avoid. Which naturally meant the occasional ducking into side alleyways or attempting to blend into the ever growing crowd of onlookers.

But it was the general lack of super strength that had really thrown Trini for a real loop. Up until now, she hadn’t realized just how much she had grown accustom to it… and even in some ways, taken it for granted.

If she had had her power coin, then getting home would have been a breeze. Trini would have simply scooped Kimberly up into her arms and raced home at the speed of light without even breaking a sweat.

But no coin meant no powers… or at least, diminishing powers.

As Zordon had once explained to them, when Zack had up and accidentally left his coin on top of a city bus, the farther they were from their coins, the weaker -- and more human -- they would become.

Their powers weren’t finite. No, they could and ebb and flow depending on the their overall proximity to their individual coins themselves.

Like a rechargeable battery, as Billy had put it.

Trini’s powers weren’t 100% gone, which meant their coins were still nearby… which also meant--

No, she’s not going there. Not right now.

First, she needs to get Kimberly situated within the somewhat safe confines of her room and then she would go about telling her… Telling her everything…

“I can’t…” Kimberly trails off as she grows limper in Trini’s arms. “I’m just so tired.”

“I know, beautiful. But we’re almost there. Promise.”

Trini manages to nudge her bedroom door open with her leg and then carefully guides Kimberly towards her bed. “Here.”

Kimberly takes a seat down on the bed and immediately attempts to lay down.

“Whoa… No way,” Trini grabs hold of Kimberly’s arms and gently pulls Kimberly back on up into a sitting position. “You need to stay awake, okay?”

“But baby, I’m just so tired…” Kimberly pouts, barely managing to keep her eyes open.

“And that’s why your ass needs to stay awake.” Trini unbuttons her jeans, shimmies her legs free, and then unceremoniously kicks them across the room. “Dormir con una lesión en la cabeza no es bueno.”

“God, I love it when you speak Spanish.”

“I know.” Trini replies with a slightly smirk. She reaches for the bottom of Kimberly’s shirt and starts to carefully peel it from her body. “Anything to keep you up, Princess.”

“Trini, we can’t do it right now. We’ve gotta go meet the boys,” Kimberly whines as she raises her arms, allowing Trini to maneuver her shirt up over her head.

Trini can’t help but let a light chuckle slip out at this comment. “Cute, but that’s not why I’m undressing you. We need clean clothes.”

Trini turns back towards her closet and quickly begins to rummage through her clothes. “I think I’ve got an oversized hoodie that might fit...”

Trini trails off as she happens to glance back over her shoulder at Kimberly, who’s taken the opportunity to lay down once again.

Fuck.

Trini wants Kimberly awake and alert. No. Scratch that. She NEEDS it.

She needs Kimberly fully present because what’s she’s about to say is going to be hard enough as is.

Trini moves back towards the bed and once again drags Kimberly upright.

“Just five minutes, baby,” Kimberly mumbles as she attempts to free herself from Trini’s grip.

But Trini isn’t letting go. She squats down in front of Kimberly, locking eyes with her in the process. “Kim, I need to tell you something. Something super important.”

“Let me guess… You love me?” Kimberly replies with a playful smirk.

“No… Well, yes. But that’s not it. I… I…” Trini trails off as she gets lost within the chocolate brown abysses that are Kimberly’s eyes.

God, those eyes…

Those eyes that in a matter of seconds are going to forever look at her differently…

Panic.

It creeps in, invading every inch of her body. Constricting… Overwhelming…

Trini can’t breathe.

Yes, her lungs are working. Somewhere deep within the confines of her mind, she knows it to be true, and yet…

She can’t breathe.

Kimberly suddenly picks up on Trini’s panic induced state and in a blink of an eye, pulls herself together. She wraps her hands around Trini’s as her eyes search Trini’s face for some sort of explanation. “Baby? What is it?”

“I… I… Oh god, I’ve fucked up… Kim, I’ve like really fucked up…” Trini spurted out the words, in between gasps of air.

“Breathe, baby. Breathe.”

But Trini can’t breathe.

She just can’t…

The panic is not only all encompassing but is a mere seconds away from swallowing her whole.

Suddenly, Trini feels Kimberly’s hand upon her chest, right above her heart.

“Just concentrate on my voice. Okay, baby? Nothing else,” Kimberly states with a calm, steady authority as if her concussion is non-existent. “Now tell me something you can feel.”

“Your hand.”

“Good, baby. Tell me more.”

“It’s… It’s over my heart and moving in sync with my chest,” Trini replies with a deep exhale as the overwhelming sense of panic starts to ebb.

“Exactly.” Kimberly reaches out and ever so gently cups Trini’s chin with her other free hand. “There you go. You know you can tell me any--”

“I know who’s possessed by Rita.” Trini blurts out, ripping the the verbal bandaid right on off. “It’s Tommy. Tommy Oliver. He’s the one who took our coins. And the one who beat me up the other night. Not Amanda. And I think the one behind the protection shields acting all crazy too.”

Trini tenses up and shuts her eyes, bracing for Kimberly’s reaction, but…

It doesn’t come.

There’s only silence. Skin-crawling silence…

“Please say something,” Trini whispers, unable to bring herself to open her eyes.

But still… Only silence.

Time seems to stand still as Trini waits for something… anything.

Then, just when she can’t seem to take another single, solitary moment of the nothingness, finally--

“How long?”

Trini’s eye pop back open, takes her first good look at Kimberly and--

Her heart shatters.

There staring back at Trini is nothing more than confusion laced with utter betrayal.

“Kim, I…”

“How long, Trini?” Kimberly questions with a sudden level of coldness to her voice.

“At least a month.”

And with this confession, Trini feels Kimberly’s hands harshly recoil from hers.

“Trini, how could you not say anything? You let us… You let me believe that--”

“TRINITY MARIA GOMEZ!”

Fuuuck.

Double fuuuck… No. Scratch that. Fuuuck to the power of infinity.

Suddenly, the sobering reality of how Trini and Kimberly must look, comes crashing down upon Trini.

Trini is there, on her knees right before a topless Kimberly, in nothing but a t-shirt and her boyshort underwear.

And there’s no explanation for it… at least none that her mother would ever believe.

No. This is bad… So fuuucking bad.

“I… I… should go,” Kimberly stumbles upon her words as she hastily hops off of the bed and scrambles to make her way out of the room, all the while actively avoiding eye contact with Mrs. Gomez.

“Kim, wait--” Trini goes to chase after Kimberly, when suddenly--

CRACK.

Mrs. Gomez slaps Trini right across the face.

Trini freezes in her tracks as her hand wanders upwards towards her cheek in utter disbelief.

“Mamí, I…” Trini voice quivers as she fiercely fights back the tidal wave of tears that are seconds away from spilling forth from her eyes.

“Get out.”

“What?”

“GET OUT OF MY HOUSE,” June growls with a level of hatred and disgust that is simply incomprehensible to Trini.

Sure, her mom has been upset with her before. Hell, lately, it seems to be the status quo with the two of them…

But this feels distinctly different. This moment feels as if Trini has hit the point of no return.

That in this one singular moment, the entirety of her relationship with her mother has been forever erased from existence.

That Trini is, in fact, suddenly nothing more than absolute stranger to her mother…

There’s no coming back from this.

“Mamí, please,” Trini begs in nothing more than a strangled whisper. The tears now freely from her eyes, cutting two defined streaks down her dirt smudged face.

“Now!”

And with that singular word, all familial ties are seemingly served.

Trini is absolutely on her own.

Trini swallows hard, quickly wiping her tears away with the backs of her hands, and in less than a blink of an eye, pulls herself together.

She snatches up a pair of nearby jeans, her favorite gray beanie, and a yellow hoodie and without another moment’s hesitation, heads out of her bedroom.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Trini bolts out of her front door and doesn’t stop running. She needs to put distance between herself and what she used to consider her home.

It isn’t until Trini is three blocks away, does she finally even pause for a moment to catch her breath.

BUZZ.

Trini reaches into her back pocket and pulls out her cell phone. A picture of Jason with his arms goofily draped around Billy’s shoulder appears on the screen.

Trini clicks the answer button and then holds the phone up to her ear. “Hey.”

“We just got to the cliffs. Where are you guys? You close? How Kim?” Jason’s voices echoes out through the phone.

The mere mention of Kim’s name hits Trini like a sucker punch to the gut.

Oh god… Kimberly.

“Something sorta happened. My mom walked in on Kim and I… and she freaked out. Kim took off.”

“Kim’s not with you?” The underlying level of concern to Jason’s voice is nothing short of unsettling.

“No.”

“Where is she?”

“I dunno…”

“Okay. Why don’t you come meet us here and then we can--”

“I’ll find her.”

“Trini--”

“I said I’ll find her.” Trini doesn’t wait for a response. She swipes the screen and then shoves her phone back into her pocket.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Trini isn’t even halfway up Kimberly’s driveway before she’s hit with the sickening sensation that something is wrong… very, very wrong.

The front door has been ripped clean off of its hinges and haphazardly tossed aside onto the nearby porch swing.

Shit… Shit… Shit…

Trini sprints the rest of the way towards the house and then takes the front steps two at a time, willing her body to move faster. She attempts to mentally brace herself for what’s she’s about to walk in on, but it doesn’t matter.

Right as Trini’s about to take her first step inside, she notices--

THICK STREAKS OF BLOOD that cover almost every inch of the surrounding door frame and floor below. The streaks are painted about in erratic patterns as if someone -- someone who happened to be badly bleeding at the time -- was dragged out of of there against their own will.

“Kim!” Trini frantically screams out into the darkness of the house before her.

But there’s no reply.

Trini attempts to will her body to start moving again and that’s when she sees it.

Like a cherry, on some sadistic sundae, someone has scrawled out a message within the blood.

I told you not to say anything, Yellow...

Trini stumbles backwards in complete and utter shock as true the meaning of the words before her fully sink in.

Tommy has Kimberly… and it’s all her fault.

Open Window Chapter 13: Love

Love Jason rolled over and reluctantly opened his eyes. He was having the best night of his sleep and did not want it to end. He focused his eyes on the alarm clock on his nightstand to see it was now a little past eight in the morning. He yawned and rolled over onto his back. His arm landed on something next to him in the bed and he turned his head to see a piece of paper on his bed. He grabbed the note and unfolded it. "Jason, you looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you. I left to go home though before my parents freaked. Text me when you get up. Love, Kimberly." Jason read aloud to himself. He smiled as he read the last part. He placed the note on the nightstand and reached for his phone to text Kimberly and let her know he was awake. (****) "Again." Tommy said as he picked himself up off the ground and dusted his green tank top off. "Sure thing." Zack responded as he charged at Tommy and unleashed a series of kicks. Tommy blocked each one of them and countered with a spinning kick of his own that Zack also blocked. The two teens began to circle each other looking for the right opportunity to strike. "You are really good." Tommy said as he switched up his stance. "Thanks.. you too." Zack replied as he moved in for an elbow strike that Tommy dodged. Tommy retaliated with a leg sweep that Zack jumped over. Tommy grabbed Zack's arm in an attempt to throw him to the ground but Zack flipped over his shoulder and landed on his feet. Zack then threw a spinning back fist that Tommy barely ducked. "That was close." Tommy stated as he blocked a second strike from Zack and countered with a side kick that connected with Zack knocking him to the ground. He walked over and stuck his hand out to help Zack to his feet. "Where did you learn to fight like this anyway?" Zack asked. "I've been studying various martial arts since I was a kid." Tommy answered. "And I've been in my share of fights in my day I'm not proud to admit." "Hey.. I hear you." Zack replied as the two walked over to steps leading down into the pit and sat down. "So how are you doing.. I mean.." "You mean has Rita been trying to get at me again?" Tommy finished Zack's thought. "Yeah." Zack said. "No.. last night was pretty peaceful.. at least for me." Tommy stated. "According to Jason when she confronted him she was weak." "I heard." Zack replied. "That's a good thing." "I don't know.." Tommy suggested. "What makes you say that?" Zack questioned. "There is nothing more dangerous than a wounded animal... and I just get the feeling the more desperate she becomes the worse it's going to be for all of us." Tommy elaborated. "Maybe, but we'll be ready." Zack stated. (****) "Hey." Trini greeted Kimberly as she entered the coffee shop and sat down across the table from her. "Hey." Kimberly returned the greeting before taking a sip of her coffee. "I went ahead and ordered you a latte." "Thanks." Trini replied gratefully as she took a drink. "Have you talked to Tommy today?" Kimberly asked. "Only a couple of texts." Trini answered as she glanced around the shop. "He and Zack were going to meet up in the pit and train." "Did he have a peaceful night?" Kim asked. "He said he did." Trini answered. "That's good." Kim stated. "Yes it is.. I wish Rita would just leave him alone." Trini said the annoyance very evident in her voice. "I'm afraid she won't do that.. she's even confronting Jason now.. I wonder which of us will get it next.." Kimberly said as she leaned forward and placed her arms on the table. "I wish.." Trini hesitated. "What?" Kim prodded. "I wish we had finished her once and for all." Trini said quietly her eyes darting up to Kim and back down to her drink. "Yeah.. I guess I do too." Kim agreed. "Maybe we shouldn't feel that way but.. whatever." "I'm glad I'm not the only one." Trini said with a smile of relief. "I thought maybe I was just being awful." "Well if you are awful then so am I." Kim said with a laugh. "She lost.. let it go and move on." Trini stated. "Right." Kimberly agreed. The two fell into a silence for a moment before Kim's phone vibrated quickly. She glanced down and a smile came over her face. "You don't even have to tell me who that text was from." Trini said with a smile to match her friends. Kimberly looked up and bit her bottom lip. "Wow so I take it things are good with bossman?" "Yeah." Kimberly said as she placed her phone back down. "They are." "So... how is he as a boyfriend?" Trini inquired prompting Kim to let out a little laugh. "What do you mean?" Kimberly asked. "Well I mean... I know what he's like as a friend and a teammate but is he a good boyfriend?" Trini asked. "Are you looking to take him from me?" Kimberly teased. "Maybe." Trini played along. "I don't think Tommy would like that." Kimberly said with a wink. It was Trini's turn to smile. "Jason's great... like.. you know.. I wasn't sure at first if we should... I mean.. I didn't intend to fall for him." "But you did." Trini said. "I did." Kim agreed. "He.. there is just something about him." "So no regrets?" Trini asked. "None." Kim replied. "Best decision I ever made." "Wow.. I think things may be even more serious than I realized." Trini said as she sat up in her seat intrigued by her friend's behavior. "Yeah... you could say that." Kim said as she met Trini's eyes. "So..." Trini started putting the puzzle pieces together. "Yes." Kimberly replied. "Wow.. so this is the real deal huh?" Trini reacted. "It is." Kimberly stated before taking another drink. "What about you?" "What about me?" Trini asked. "You and Tommy.. how is that going?" Kim elaborated. "It's going fine." Trini replied. "Just fine?" Kim asked. "Baby steps." Trini said. "Gotcha." Kim replied. "I think you guys make a cute couple." "Thanks." Trini said with a laugh. "Right now though.. his mind is kind of preoccupied." "Understandable I guess." Kim responded. "Yeah.. which brings the conversation full circle to wishing Rita would chill." Trini said with a sigh. (****) Tommy stopped his car on the shore front and stepped out of it. He walked towards the waters edge and glanced around. There was still plenty of evidence of the Zord battle but no longer was the area quarantined off or overran with police. He walked down the beach and stopped to look out over the water. His eyes fixated on the spot where he the Dragonzord had went down. As Tommy stood there suddenly something caught his attention out of the corner of his eye. It was a glow coming from the water to his left. Tommy scanned the water to try to determine what the source of the glow was but he could not make it out. Whatever it was seemed to be directly below the surface. He took a few tentative steps out into the water and hesitated for a moment. Tommy glanced around to see if anyone was nearby. After he realized he was alone he jumped in the water and began to dive down to determine the source of the glow. The glow under the water was so bright he had to shield his eyes and feel along the bottom of the water. Finally his hands clasped around something and he began his swim up. After breaking the surface of the water he lifted the item up and out of the water and it immediately ceased glowing. Once Tommy realized what he was holding he had a strong urge to throw it as far away from him as possible. The object landed on the beach in front of him. Tommy slowly began to make his way out of the water. Once he reached the sand he stopped a few feet away from where the staff had landed. He found himself fixated on it and unable to look away. "Get ahold of yourself Tommy." Tommy said to himself in an effort to shake himself out of his trance. It didn't seem to work as he found himself walking closer to the object. He stopped just above the golden staff. He closed his eyes as he felt his body bending down to pick it up. Just as he started to lift it he felt a force come down on the staff. He opened his eyes to see a green boot on top of it. "I'll take that." Rita said as he retrieved her lost staff and admired it. "Rita." Tommy said through gritted teeth as he stood up. "You did this didn't you?" "Of course." Rita replied. "I could not locate it.. but I had a feeling you could." "Get out of my head!" Tommy shouted as he brought his hands up to the sides of his head. "Never." Rita replied calmly. She watched as Tommy's Green Ranger armor formed on his body. "This ends now!" Tommy snarled out as he lunged at Rita and grabbed her by the shoulders. She took her staff and slammed it against Tommy's chest and knocked him back to the ground. Tommy stood up surprised by her strength. He had gotten the impression from Jason that she was weak but that was not a weak blow he had just felt. "You seem surprised.." Rita stated as she began to walk methodically towards Tommy. Tommy didn't answer but instead threw a kick at Rita that she blocked with her staff and countered with a strike from the handle. It hit Tommy on the side of his helmet and once again grounded him. "I can do this all day... or you could give me back my coin and I promise... I'll leave you alone." "Liar." Tommy responded as he stood up and took a defensive stance. "Have it your way." Rita said as the staff began to glow in her hands and a yellow beam shot out and hit Tommy in the chest and knocked him back into his car leaving a sizable dent in the door. Tommy stood up and shook his head. "My turn." Tommy said as summoned his dagger and charged Rita. He brought it down with a powerful strike. Rita got her staff up to block it but the energy wave from the hit sent both combatants flying in opposite directions. Rita got to her feet first and glared at the Green Ranger as he stumbled to his. "So I see Zordon gave you a new toy to play with." Rita said as she retrieved her staff from the ground and began to approach Tommy once more. She reached him just as he recovered and swung her staff at him. He got a hand up to catch it. The staff began to glow under his touch and he felt a charge go through his body nearly bringing him to his knees. Rita raised the staff and flipped Tommy over her head. He landed in a heap at the water's edge. Rita walked over to him and bent down at his head. "Get away from me.." Tommy said with a groan as Rita began to run her hand over the side of his helmet and down his chest. "We could have it all.. together again.." Rita replied. "Come back to me." "That.. is.. never gonna.. happen." Tommy said defiantly as he reached up and grabbed Rita's hand knocking it off of him. Rita stood up and raised her staff in a motion to bring it down and stab Tommy. She was on the way down with it when a yellow blur tackled her. "Leave him alone!" Trini stated as the two rolled down the beach before landing in the water. Trini got to her feet first and landed a punch directly to Rita's jaw that knocked her back under the water. Trini waited for her to come up but after a few moments she still had not surfaced. Just as Trini was about to dive under a blast of gold energy came up out of the water and knocked Trini back up and onto the beach. She landed up against a rock shattering it under her. "Trini!" Tommy called out as he got to his feet. He ran over to help her up and turned to see Rita emerging from the water. "How cute." Rita observed as she approached the two. "You can die together." "Not today." a voice from next to Rita garnered her attention. She turned to in time to see an ax flying at her. She couldn't react quickly enough and it hit her in the chest and knocked her to the ground. Zack ran over and retrieved it off the ground and stood between his teammates and Rita. "Three on one.. I'll take those odds." Rita said as she got to her feet. "Count again." Jason said as he, Billy and Kimberly moved to stand next to Zack with their weapons drawn. Rita looked up and down the line and started to take a step towards them but stopped. She backed up and disappeared in a flash of light just as an arrow went flying through the flash. "So close." Kim stated as she lowered her bow. "You guys okay?" Jason asked as he walked over to Trini and Tommy. "Yeah.. I'm okay.." Tommy responded. "Same." Trini stated. "I thought you said she was weak man." Tommy stated. "She was.." Jason responded. "Something must have changed." "The staff." Tommy said under his breath. He glanced around at the group. "It's my fault." "What do you mean?" Billy asked. "She used me to retrieve her staff and I think that restored her energy." Tommy replied. "Used you?" Jason asked. "I was drawn here and to it.." Tommy said slumping his shoulders with shame. Jason picked up on the posture change and approached Tommy. He placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hey.. it's okay.." Jason began. "No it's not!" Tommy rebutted as he swatted away Jason's hand and backed away from the group. "Hey.." Kimberly said as she walked over to stand next to Jason. "I'm.. sorry." Tommy said as he looked around the group and powered his armor down. "I uh.. I'm.. it's just." "We get it.." Zack said. "Do you?" Tommy asked. "I'm sorry guys but I don't think any of you know what it's like." "Maybe not.. but we are here for you." Trini chimed in. "I appreciate it.. but right now.. I think I need to be alone and think." Tommy said as he departed the group and hastily made it over to his newly damaged car. The rangers heard him curse as he slammed the door and started the vehicle after a couple of seconds he sped off. "Well.. that went well." Zack stated as the group powered down together. "He's just.. stressed out.. don't take any of that personally." Trini came to Tommy's defense. "I get that but.." Jason began. "But what?" Trini asked. "He is dangerous if he pushes us away.." Jason finished his thought. "Dangerous?" Trini asked. "Yeah.. he was almost killed today.. and if she doesn't kill him she'll.." Jason stopped when he saw the hurt look Trini was giving him. "I'm sorry Trini.." "No.. you are right but we got to try to be there for him." Trini responded. "We will.. but it'll be much easier if he lets us." Kimberly spoke up. Trini nodded in response and turned to the direction Tommy had sped off in. (****) "He is up in his room." Tommy's mother said as she gestured behind her. "Can I go up?" Trini asked tentatively. "Sure." Tommy's mom responded with a smile. "Thanks Mrs. Oliver." Trini said as she walked past her and up the stairs. "Second door on your left." Mrs. Oliver said as she watched Trini bound up the stairs. Trini turned to acknowledge her words and then made her way to the top of the stairs. She glanced down the hall and saw the door to the room was cracked slightly. She walked over to it and try to see if she could make out anything through the crack. She knocked on the door and waited. "What... oh.. hey.." Tommy said as he opened the door expecting to see his mother. "Hey." Trini greeted him in return. "What are you doing here?" Tommy asked as he opened the door fully. "I um.. just wanted to check on you." Trini responded. "I did say I wanted to be alone." Tommy reminded her. "I know.. I can leave if you want but I just... I think I just felt like maybe you don't really wanna be alone right now." Trini stated. She glanced up at Tommy and after a moment his stoic impression formed a slight grin and he motioned for her to come in. She made her way into the room and turned to him. "Thanks.." Tommy said. "Don't mention it... that's what friends are for." Trini replied. "Friends?" Tommy questioned raising his eyebrows at her. Trini suddenly found herself unsure of what to say next. She started to speak but it came out in a stammer. "I..um.. yeah... fri.. that's... I mean.." Trini began. Tommy smiled at her and walked over to her. He bent down and placed a kiss on her lips. She was surprised at first but after a couple of seconds began to return the kiss. She closed her eyes and smiled as his lips left hers. "See.. I'm not sure I can be just friends with you." Tommy stated. "I see.." Trini replied. "Same." "Good." Tommy said before going in for another kiss. (****) "Trini is going over there." Kimberly said as she looked down at her feet swinging off the back of Jason's truck bed. She glanced next to her to see him staring up at the sunset in front of them. She smiled as the glow from it washed over his features. "That's good." Jason said. "I hope he'll let her be there for him." "I think he will." Kim responded prompting Jason to turn to her. "If anyone can get through to him it's her." Jason agreed as he took in Kim's features in the glow of the sun much the same we she had been doing his. She scooted closer to him and interlocked her arm with his and took him by the hand. "It'll be okay.. I can feel it." Kimberly said as she leaned her head onto Jason's shoulder. "I hope so." Jason agreed. Just then Kimberly's phone went off and she reached over and retrieved it. Jason watched her as a smile came over her face. "What?" "I think things are going just fine over at Tommy's." Kim replied. Jason shook his head and laughed a little. "Do I wanna know?" He asked. "Maybe later." Kim responded before she placed her phone down and hopped off the truck. She gestured to the cab of the truck where music was emanating from. "But that's my jam.. and I gotta dance." "Oh okay.." Jason replied with a chuckle as he watched her start to dance to the song. He watched as she moved quite well. It was not the first time he had seen her dance. He found himself fixated on her. She reached out a hand to him for him to come down and join her. He shook his head, but she insisted and grabbed him by the hand and pulled him down off the truck. "Dance with me.." She said as she began to move her body up against his. "Um.. maybe I can't dance." He replied into her ear. "Something tells me you can." She responded in return into his ear. Her breath sent goosebumps up and down his body and pretty soon he found himself swaying along with her. She smiled as her suspicions were confirmed. They began to move in unison together. "I knew it." Jason pulled her close to him and pulled her into a kiss just as the song ended. She smiled up at him as they broke apart. "I only dance for you.. so not a word to the others." Jason said with a laugh. "Not a word." Kim said with a grin. "You are totally going to tell everyone aren't you?" Jason said with a laugh as Kim leaned up and kissed him again. "Absolutely." Kim replied into his ear before he swept her up into his arms in an embrace and led them back to the truck. He sat Kim on the bed of the truck and stood between her legs. "Kim.." Jason began. "Yeah?" She responded as she met his gaze. "I love you." Jason said as he held his eye contact. "I love you too." Kim responded as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
