previously in Struggle:

"How is doctor O know?" Trent asked anxiously.

"Tommy or Dr. O. for his last team is still in a coma. The longer he stays that way, the more chance he has for brain damage or worse not waking up at all." Jason said tears running over his cheeks, his voice trembling even more now. All the rangers who knew Jason knew that he was at a breaking point.

"We will do whatever it takes to bring Kat to justice," Adam said with an edge in his voice no one had heard before.

Jason wanted to answer but was stopped by the ringing of a phone. It was Jason's cell phone. He watched the number and knew that it was the hospital from Reefside.

"Hello?" Jason asked anxiously

"Jason, it's Jake. I need you in the hospital immediately. It's Tommy." boomed from the other side off the phone

"What's wrong?" Jason's voice was full of concern and fear. Everybody in the room was listening in silence.

"I can't tell you over the phone but I need you now." Jake sounded serious it couldn't be good.

The ride to the hospital took longer than normal or so it seemed for Jason. This time Kimberly had come with him and stayed Ian with the other rangers. Fearing for the worse the original red ranger jumped out the car before Kimberly could park her car. He ran towards the entrance of the hospital with Kimberly hot in his heels, almost running into Jake.

"Jake, what happened?" Jason said with fear in his eyes.

"He had a heart attack an hour ago but we pulled him through. I thought you wanted to know that." Jake said trying to bring this news as soft as he possibly could.

"Can I see him?" Jason fearing for Tommy's life

Jake nodded and walked him towards Tommy's room. Kim stayed in the waiting room.

Jason took Tommy's hand and sighed deeply, "Come back to me, baby. I need you." He bent towards his boyfriend placing his forehead against Tommy's. When he felt a pinch in his hand. He looked up straight in a pair of chocolate colored eyes.

"Hi honey." said the voice Jason thought never to hear ever again.

Jason embraced his boyfriend with all his love before he started crying in his boyfriend's neck. "I thought I lost you forever, baby."

"I would never leave you, honey, I will always come back to you." Tommy smiled before their lips touched for the first time since Kat shot him.

Chapter 1

Jake walked into the room and cleared his throat when he saw the couple's passionate embrace.

"Jake!" Jason said startled looking like a deer in headlights.

"Don't worry, Jason. I knew from the start that he was more to you then a best friend. I will not judge you about it but I need to borrow him now for just a few minutes." Jake smiled

Jason smiled and moved away from the bed, "I will be just outside the door, baby."

"No, stay, please. I want you to hear everything." Tommy said knowing that their lives would change forever. He wanted Jason to have a choice.

Jason just nodded and took a seat in a chair at the end of the bed.

"Welcome back, Dr. Oliver. You gave us quite a scare. How are you feeling?"

Tommy's smile disappeared, "My head hurts and I have some pain in my back, but what most concerns me is the fact that I can't feel my legs."

The once fierce ranger commander looked at his red predecessor and saw his shocked eyes.

Jake lifted the blanket from Tommy's feet and tried the reflexes but nothing happened.

"We are going to have to take a scan of your head and back to see what's causing this," Jake said with a serious voice.

"Can I have a word with Jason first?" Tommy asked the doctor.

Jake nodded, "I am going to arrange a scan. I will be back in a minute."

Tommy waited until the doctor had left the room before looking towards Jason, "I know that we said that we would fight everything together but I want to give you the choice to walk out of this one. I don't want you to be forced to be in a relationship with a man who can't walk anymore.

Jason shook his head while he walked to the side of the bed and took Tommy's hand in his, "First of all, you don't know if it's permanent and even if it is, I will never leave you, Tommy. We are going to fight this together! You did the same for me when I felt uncertain, thinking that everybody would reject me just like my father did. " Jason smiled.

Tommy smiled back at him, showing all his love he felt in the way he looked at his boyfriend.

Jason wanted to ask what he still remembered but was stopped when Jake entered the room again, "Come on, let go and take a scan so that we know what we are dealing with here."

Tommy nodded at the doctor and took one last look at his boyfriend.

"I will be right here when the moment you arrive back to this room." Jason smiled squeezing the former white rangers hand.

Jason waited until Tommy was gone to take out his cell phone and dialed Kimberly's number.

"Please Jason, tell me you have some good news for us!" Started Kimberly before Jason could say anything.

"I got some good and some bad news," Jason said with his voice trembling from the emotions he had felt since he arrived here. It stayed silent on the other side of the line.

"I was first called here because Tommy had a heart attack but the good news is that he woke up only minutes after I arrived here. The problem is that he can't feel his legs anymore." Jason said with tears in his eyes. He knew that the whole gang was listening so he tried to stay strong.

"Like paralyzed?" He heard someone ask his guess was that it was Rocky.

"Probably but we won't be sure until we have the result of the scan," Jason responded

"Keep us up-to-date!" Kimberly said.

The last thing he heard was someone yelling, "Kat is going to pay for this." No doubt it was Zack who had yelled that.

He had just put his cell phone back in his pocket when arrived again with Tommy and hopefully the result of the scan.
