Disclaimer: The power rangers are not mine, I make no money from this.
I haven't decided wheather to make this a oneshot or to expand on it a little. Let me know what you think.
He didn't know why he did it.
He had just had to get away from everyone for a while, and this had been a good idea at the time.
Caught in Rocky's glare, Adam shifted on the cot to press his back closer to the wall, knowing that his ineffectual squirming wasn't making the situation any easier. Whilst it was unlikely that Rocky would actually hurt him, the fuming anger that radiated from the bigger teen touched some of the old fear and insecurity that Adam had always struggled with, turning his friend at that moment into a threat from which he instinctively cowered. By the light thrown through the open door, Adam could see the tight set of Rocky's jaw – never a good sign.
He hadn't thought at the time that this would get to such proportions.
"Have you had any success Rocky?" Billy's voice emanated from the communications device attached to the Hispanic boy's wrist. Eyes fixed on Adam, Rocky raised the communicator to his lips.
"I've found him." His voice was harsh with barely controlled anger. "In my quarters." There was a moments disbelieving silence on the other end.
"Your quarters?" The incredulousness in the other boys tone seemed to infuriate Rocky further and Adam could see that where he gripped the watch-like device his fingers were white.
"Yes, my quarters!" Curling against the headboard, squeezing himself into the smallest space he possibly could, Adam fought not to whimper under Rocky's continuing glare, focusing all his efforts instead on trying to become invisible. "He's uninjured."
"Good." Tommy's voice broke in to the conversation. "I'll have the rest of the team teleport back to the power chamber. You two meet us there."
"No. Adam and I will be staying here for the time. We have to talk" Adam started to tremble, fearing what was about to happen, and powerless to stop it. Feeling the panic rising, he prayed that Tommy wasn't about to accept the blue rangers assertion. But fate clearly had a serious beef with him.
"Alright Rocky, you know him best. Come up to the chamber when you're done." There was an air of resignation in Tommy's voice that suggested he had some idea of what he was about to abandon Adam to, but was unable – or unwilling – to interfere.
Signing off, Rocky turned and entered the locking code into the mechanised door.
Then he regarded the young Korean quivering in a ball in the corner of the cot, before flexing his hand and advancing.
