"Tommy," Kat said, startling everyone as she stood up and walked over to the man that she had once called her husband. She could feel the tension in the room as everyone scattered. He looked as if he had not showered in days and his hair now reached down to the middle of his back. The day old beard was the only thing that he had seemed to not neglect in his evil state.

"Hello, everyone, plotting how to get me back, are you?" Tommy said with an evil sneer as they all scrambled for the far wall, except Kimberly. She had learned to stand her ground with him a long time ago. "Kim, so nice to see you, come with me."

"Kimberly…" Jason started as Kim just shook her head as she took a step towards him and then gave him a strong hug.

"I'm glad you came," Kim said as she looked up at him and he smiled, he actually smiled, down at her. It had been years for most of them since they had last seen him smile, but for her it was a fairly frequent occurrence. "I was starting to worry that you wouldn't get the message in time."

"I'll always come for you Kimberly," Tommy whispered as she closed her eyes to fight back the tears that were forming. "I'm trying, I'm really trying."

"I know," Kim whispered as she let out a sob and he pulled her closer. The scent of him was under all the sweat, blood, and dirt that was on his body. He was still there, she knew that, they just had to get him back. The others had to believe that he could be good again. "I'm sorry, I just want you back."

"And I wish it was that easy. You make me see straight, but I need to be able to do that without you before I come back," Tommy said as he looked up from her and around the room, his eyes settling for a few moments on each person. "Corey, Tyler, how are you?"

"Good Dad, just miss you," Corey said as Tommy took a step away from Kimberly and walked over to his children, giving each of them a quick hug. "When are you coming back?"

"I don't know," Tommy said as he shook his head and they saw the flash in his eyes. In a moment, Corey and Tyler were thrown to the ground, as Kim took the blows meant for each of them. When she finally managed to stand, he had hung his head in shame and started backing away.

"Tommy no, don't…please," Kim begged as he shook his head and then ran, but this time she followed. This time she knew that she had to do something, she had to try or she would be the only person that Tommy would never purposefully harm again.

"Kimberly!" Jason yelled at her retreating back as she trailed after Tommy. "Kimberly no!"

"I don't think there is any stopping her Jason," Aisha said as Kat had gathered Corey and Tyler in her arms.

"Why does she have that affect on him?" Tyler yelled as she stared at him. They had seen the way that their father acted around Kimberly and it was almost as if things were back to normal for them. "We deserve answers, we deserve to know why our father went crazy."

"He didn't go crazy," Kat whispered as the entire room when silent. "He was on a mission, Kimberly was with him. They went to retrieve a set of powers for the next Power Rangers, something happened, we're not sure what."

"Kimberly doesn't remember?" Corey asked as Billy shook his head no and reached for his cup of coffee.

"From what we've been able to get out of her, everything was fine until they got to the powers. We're not sure exactly what happened, but I can only guess that it came down to him or her. He sacrificed himself, when they came back, we thought everything was fine…" Billy trailed off as he looked over at his wife.

"…he always loved her more than me, she just couldn't get over losing Abby when she was born. The missions were something that they did together after the two of you were born, I knew there was always a chance something like this would happen. When it did, he slowly withdrew from us all, except her, then…well, the day that we left was after there was the attack in downtown by the green ranger," Kat said as they looked at her. "You didn't know, but he was the only one that could have ever caused that."

"But why doesn't he want to kill Kimberly?" Tyler asked as they all looked to Billy. He was the one that always could answer these questions, that could be the man that helped them through this all.

"Love," Billy answered, simply, as the boys gave him a confused look. "Ultimately he'd sacrifice himself for her and if he had to choose…if someone had asked him before this happened who he would save…"

"I would have been a poor second…and before you ask, your father never cheated on me. They had an unsaid rule of if they started feeling too close, one would leave the room. After the divorce, she tried to find him, that's how he began coming back…I could do nothing to help him or to protect you from him," Kat said as the boys stared at her. They had always thought that their father loved their mother unconditionally, but obviously that picture was not quite true.

"So, Kim just…" Corey trailed off as Kat shook her head. She had no clue what Kim was doing, but was sure that if she was finally able to, she'd bring Tommy back to all of them.

"Kim just left to bring him back. She feels that she owes us, but really we owe her," Jason said as he closed his eyes. He had watched the struggle, watched as Kim fought him time and time again to keep them safe. He had seen the wounds, felt her sobs, and watched as she melted away before his very eyes. She was only a shadow of the person that she had been before this happened to him and he was tired of that shadow. He wanted to see her come back to them, but the only way that she would be able to do that was if he did.
