Three Years Later

"Your turn," Kim muttered as she hit Tommy over the stomach and he groaned as he rolled out of bed to attend to their wailing child. Their second child, Chloe, was far more vocal than Wyatt had been at four months. He had learned to entertain himself at a young age and had only cried for food and a diaper change, Chloe, on the other hand, cried at a drop of a hat.

"Hey sweetie," Tommy whispered as he walked into the nursery and picked up the wailing girl from her crib and gently rocked her in his arms. "It's okay. You hungry?"

In his half awakened state, Tommy stumbled down the stairs to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle from the fridge before heading into the living room. It was always helpful with Chloe to be able to rock her while she ate, otherwise she would be awake all night and he'd have to stay up with her. She had not quite gotten the hang of entertaining herself just yet.

"You're a good father," a voice said as Tommy stood up and looked back into the darkness. He recognized the voice, but he couldn't remember where it was from. There were a lot of voice's in his past that he had pushed to the far recesses of his mind. "It took a long time to track you down."

"Who are you?" Tommy asked as he focused his gaze to the corner of the room and waited for his answer. He was sure that if the person was revealing themselves, that they would have no problem with giving a name or a clue to a name.

"Someone you took something from," the voice said as Tommy let out a gasp in realization.

"Carla," Tommy muttered as she stepped out into the dim light and grinned. "Get out of here."

"I've come for your son, I thought you might like to be warned," Carla said as she slipped back off into the darkness and then disappeared. Tommy then ran up the stairs, placed Chloe in the bed next to Kimberly before he ran off to Wyatt's room. The boy was sound asleep in his bed and he let out a sigh of relief. He was scared to death that she would take him away and as he picked him up, he made a decision, a decision that he would most likely live to regret.

"Tommy, how did we wind up with the kids in our bed?" Kim asked as she got dressed for work and he played with them on the bed.

"Carla visited last night and we're going to have to do something," Tommy said as she gaped at him. She had not thought of that woman since Tommy had told her that he had handled the problem.

"Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like what has to be done?" Kim asked as she pulled on her skirt and started buttoning her shirt.

"You won't, considering that it involves powers," Tommy said as Kim let out a sigh before she picked Chloe up and grabbed Wyatt by the hand.

"I'll get them breakfast while you get ready," Kim said as he gave her a quick hug before going into the bathroom to get ready.

"Mama," Wyatt said as Kim looked down at him and nodded. "Who's the lady?"

"What lady?" Kim asked in confusion as Wyatt pointed to the corner and Kim let out a shriek. "Go upstairs, go to Daddy."

"Kimberly, nice to see you again," Carla said as Kim held Chloe tight against her chest as she watched Wyatt run up the stairs. She was sure that Tommy had heard her shriek and would meet Wyatt on his way down. "Beautiful children."

"You are not welcome here," Kim said as she heard Tommy coming down the stairs and let out a sigh of relief. She couldn't fight while holding a baby in her arms, she wouldn't risk it.

"Of course I am," Carla said as she started towards Kim and a shield suddenly appeared around her, shocking her as Tommy placed Wyatt next to her and then continued down the stairs.

"What's that?" Carla asked as Tommy rubbed his hands together and looked back at his wife.

"Our protective powers, more accurately mine. If you were to try to get to any of them, you probably wouldn't make it back to whoever you're working with," Tommy said as Carla laughed.

"A change is coming and you have to choose a side Tommy. There will be no more of you sitting back and watching from the sidelines," Carla said as Tommy looked over at her and shook his head.

"Leave Carla, it's the last time I'll warn you," Tommy said as Carla laughed and the sparks flew from his hands as he rubbed them together. He could feel the slight fear coming out of her and saw the slight worry in Kim's eyes. Their raw powers were stronger than any that the world had ever seen, but they generally did not show themselves in this fashion.

"My boss wants the boy and we'll get him," Carla said with a sickly sweet smile and then she disappeared as Kim let out a strangled sob as she clutched Chloe even tighter and Wyatt wrapped his arms around her legs.

"I can't lose my children," Kim said as he walked over to her and wrapped her up in a strong hug. "I can't lose them, Tommy."

"Shh…it's going to be okay, I've got a plan," Tommy said as Kim lifted her head from his chest and stared up at him. She knew that tone, she knew the meaning of it all. "We have no choice, I mentor a team. They've got the youth to wear the uniform and we've got the experience to guide them down the right path."

"Call Billy, we're not going into work today," Kim said as she took a step away from him and he stared down at her. "We have no choice and we've only got one shot to keep them safe. We can't risk messing that up Tommy."

"Okay, you know they'll want to help," Tommy said as she nodded and walked Wyatt into the kitchen where she placed Chloe in her high chair and Wyatt in his booster seat.

"We're going to need all the help we can get to pull this off," Kim said as she started pulling out breakfast for the kids and a piece of fruit for herself.

"If anyone can, we can," Tommy said as he walked back out of the room to make the call in private. Kim agreed to the idea, now he had to convince the others that they really needed this, that the threat was really there.

"Hello, archeology department, Wolf Incorporated," Emily said as she picked up the phone and Tommy let out a sigh. He had hoped to reach Hayley or Austin, one of the more trusted employees, but this would have to do.

"This is Dr. Oliver, my wife and I will not be coming in today, we have a family emergency," Tommy said, calmly, as he heard Emily gasp.

"Dr. Cranston is in a meeting I'll give him your message as soon as he's out. I hope the babies will get better soon," Emily said as Tommy nodded and then looked back at Kim, who was attempting to feed both children.

"Thank you," Tommy said as he hung up and then walked back into the kitchen. He took the spoon from Kim and proceeded to feed Chloe breakfast. "We're going to have to re-open it."

"I know," Kim said with a sigh as Wyatt munched on his toast. "We sealed it pretty good, I don't see how we're going to get it open."

"Trust the fact that it's under that tile and that you'll be taking the kids to my Mom's in about an hour," Tommy said as she looked over at him in confusion. "It's Nana's day to take them. Why not let her and explain she'll need to keep them for a couple of days?"

"She can't protect them," Kim said as Tommy barely nodded as Chloe tossed a handful of baby food into his face and he took in a deep breath. "Then why take them there?"

"Because I'm betting on the fact that Carla will think that we'll keep them with us. She's seen how powerful we are and she's only a pawn in a game, someone else is really after us, someone more powerful," Tommy said, solemnly, as Kim nodded that she understood. The message had been sent to them and their actions were going to be watched, everything predicted, everything seen. They had no choice but to become the Power Rangers that everyone feared and that many believed were a mere legend.
