I'm not really a big fan of Katherine, never have been. But, as I go back and try to figure out why, I figured out it was because of the Tommy and Kim breakup, Tommy moved on with Kat and I think that was her plan from the beginning. Anyway as a mature adult, I thought I might give her a chance to sort of redeem herself in the eyes of those who don't like her. This is set during Turbo, obviously I'm Team Kim/Tommy, Kat finally understands that why Tommy cares about her, He never stopped loving Kim. But, don't worry Kat finds out someone loves her. :)
I knew from the tone of his voice, the way he shifted restlessly, and his unwillingness to be around me. Seeing Kim in danger had stirred up the past, he was forever her White Knight, even if he wore red now. I watched Adam pull him aside to try to calm him down. I moved closer to hear their conversation,
"Tommy, she's with Jase. They will be fine." Adam's voice clearly proved how hard it was for both of them. They had served with Kim and Jason, she was his Beautiful and Adam's little sister. Jason was Tommy's brother, in everyway that counted. Adam and him were not as close, however they shared a love of martial arts.
"Adam, she's in trouble. No matter what happened." Tommy's voice was filled with pain, my heart broke for him.
"She's still your girl. What about Kat?" I knew Adam had a soft spot for Kim, she had helped him adjust to being a ranger and been there when he needed her help. I wasn't sure where I stood with him and Rocky, they were my friends and they cared about me. Even after the power changes and the Zeo quest, Tanya was the only one who truly knew how I felt. I loved Tommy, when he asked me out, I had been over the moon. However I noticed that.
I suddenly no longer got calls from Trini, Aisha, and Zack. They called Rocky and Adam, even Billy. Tommy would get calls once or twice a month. I was left out and it had hurt, until I finally understood, they were Kim's closest friends. Trini and Aisha were her sisters, Zack was her brother. They had a bond I could never hope to match.
"I care about her Adam, that's what makes this so hard. Kim, I couldn't keep her safe. Now she and Jason are being held captive and I'm helpless to stop it."
"No, you're not." I think I startled them both, Adam's eyes held pity for me.
"Kat,"
"Tommy, we are rangers. This is what we do, they will be ok. We will save her." I was suprised by how easy those words were to say. I saw the emotions cross his face, the worry, pain, anger, and helplessness. I knew in that moment that no matter what he felt for me, he would never love me the way he loved her,
"Let's focus on the mission right now ok? We can figure everything else out later." I felt Tanya's eyes on me and flashed her a fake smile. Adam and Tommy left to tell Rocky what had happened. Alpha was talking with Tanya,
"It will be so good to see Kimberly and Jason again. She did very well in the Pan Globals."
"I've never met her, whats she like?" I felt jealousy rise inside me, Tanya would side with her too. I shook it off, Kim was my friend and if she knew that the others had ignored me she would be pissed at them. Ever since I had arrived in Angel Grove, she had offered me friendship and her help. I had been evil at the time, hurt her, and she had still forgiven me. She had given me her power coin, her legacy, and her place on the team. She had chosen to let Tommy go, and I had been ready to take her place with him as well. Maybe I was too content to be in her footsteps, instead of making my own.
A/N Yes this is a short chapter, I'm finding in difficult to write in Kat's POV when I usually hate her. Anyway I'm going to skip right to the Temple in the next chapter, the other stuff would just be fillers and I want to move the story along farther then that. Any ideas who Kat's mystery admirer is? Let me know who you think and I'll tell you if your right.
