Ok, so this was an idea that was floating around in my head...what if the Psycho's hadn't left Zhane in the library? And what if Red Psycho had taken a special interest. I'm also playing with relationships here, so yeah, Andros/Zhane and Andros/Ashley mentioned. This is gonna get pretty dark, but review and lemme know what cha think!
PRIS
It was cold, libraries always had the air conditioning up, that had to cost a pretty penny. Zhane winced as he looked up, the last thing he remembered was being captured after talking to TJ. He pulled on his wrists experimentally, he was tied up, but maybe he could get free if he was left alone long enough to twist and squirm on the exceptionally uncomfortable wooden chair he was now tied to. He couldn't see his Morpher, and it wasn't on him, that meant those Rangers had him, the Psycho Rangers. As he realized where he was it seemed to just make them appear out of nowhere.
"We need to destroy the other Rangers while we have this one out of the way." The Pink Psycho growled.
"You four go, I will stay here to guard this one…I'm not going to let him escape." The Red Psycho told them, and the four nodded, grumbling about one thing or another as they vanished.
Zhane was working hard on breaking the binds on him, he had wanted to wait, but if the Red Psycho was going to be there he'd just have to break out the old fashioned way. Red Psycho turned on him; Zhane imagined the thing was smirking at him through that creepy helmet. "I'd stop that Silver Ranger, you can't possibly beat me." Zhane scoffed "Please, I'd so kick your butt if I wasn't tied up." He renewed his struggle, and Red Psycho just sighed, taking out a device and hitting a small button on it. Zhane gasped, jerking as the little blue LED lights lit up in his bindings, and sent painful energy coursing through him. Red Psycho hit the button after a moment, leaving the Silver Ranger panting and leaning forward as far as he could.
"I told you not to. Of course, I'm sure any other of the Ranger's could've taken a bit more than that before they were reduced to…your level." Red Psycho grinned, Andross's memories flashed in his mind, he knew about when Andross and Zhane had been lovers, and when he saw the slight flash of pain in Zhane's eyes, he knew he had something. "But of course now you're the weakest aren't you, that's why he won't even look at you as anything other than a friend." Zhane jerked up, glaring at the mock Ranger "Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about."
"Mm, but I do Silver Ranger…remember I have Andros's memories. I know all about when you and he were together." Zhane's eyes widened at the realization. Red Psycho nodded, moving closer and circling behind Zhane. A flash of color in Zhane's peripheral vision told him that Red Psycho had done something. "I have his memories…I know that after you were hurt he thought less of you as an equal, and more as an invalid…someone he had to take care of." Zhane gasped, the voice was no longer Red Psycho, it was Andros. Red Psycho stepped in front of Zhane, and Zhane stared into the face of his best friend. "You see, I was willing to just leave you in that cryotank…I figured you'd never come around, after that injury on KO-35 I thought you were too weak to do anything other than just lay there, taking up space."
Zhane winced at his words, words that had echoed in his nightmares before. "No, you're lying. Andros wouldn't just abandon me…he was waiting for the-." "The computer had already said you were ready to be unfrozen. I just didn't want to unfreeze you…suddenly I had friends of my own…friends you so easily tried to take from me." Red Psycho grinned; a rather horrid sight on Andros's normally kind or firm face. Zhane looked down, he couldn't bare to see his friend used in that way "You're wrong…" he said softly, struggling with the things holding him once more in a renewed effort to break free.
"Ah Zhane…you never learn do you." With that Red Psycho pressed the button on the controller once more, and shocks went through Zhane. But as it got worse Red Psycho began to laugh, and in Zhane's pain hazed mind, it was no longer the Psycho Ranger, but Andros torturing him. He closed his eyes, slumping as unconsciousness claimed him with that thought firmly in place.
