I'm very pleased with the response this story has regenerated. I know these chapters are shorter then usual, but right now, I'm dealing with a curveball that has really thrown me out of step and I'm doing the best I can do get back on track. I will try to write longer chapters as I get better.

Power Rangers are now owned by Saban. (thank goodness!) Not me...I'm just expressing my creativity with the characters!

Please leave me nice reviews!

It was a pleasant atmosphere at the Reefside Women's Center. Here, the goal was to keep everything nice and calm, and it was well accomplished with the absense of loud tv's, and conversations. The walls were painted in swirls of light pink, purples, greens and blues. Cofort was also a big goal with the comfy couches, lounge chairs and ottomens all over the place.

Not that this did much of anything to soothe Kimberly's nerves. She was at the moment reclining in the love seat next to her husband. Tommy sat next to her absentmidedly playing with her hair. Neither of them were relaxed. Instead their thoughts were about Kira and the latest crisis in her life. They had all worked so hard to bring her back from the wasteland of her dispair and now here she was, back in Siberia.

Tommy sighed and put an arm around his wife, pulling his bride close to him. This was a whole new monster for them to battle. And like all girls, including his princess-turned ninja, the need for a father's love would overthrow their own senses of self preservation...they'd do anything to not to lose that source of affection and well being.

Kimberly knew exactly what it felt like. She had felt so lost when she found out her parent's were divorcing. At first, she'd thought that it had been her fault. Then the absense of her father, after that, had left a huge gaping void in her heart and life. One that even Jason with his huge heart and the other's help could fill.

She would have given and done anything to get her father back into her life...anything at all. What was worse, was that Kira would be the same way if she thought she was losing his love. She'd do ANYTHING.

Obediance from a child was one thing, and they would never sabatoge the parental rights of a parent's infulance over their children...or teens. But there was a cut off point...like in cases of child abuse. They both prayed to God that wasn't the case...but how far was too far?

Kimberly looked at her husband. "Tommy, what are we gonna do? What if the worst should happen? We can't alway's count on Connor, he's just a teenager."

His light kiss on the top of her head was a silent answer as the midwife walked in. "Dr. Henson will see you now."

Later that night

Kayla was asleep in her bed. Kira and Kimberly were watching a chickflick in the living room. Tommy and Connor were in the den deep in conversation.

Connor was pacing in front of Tommy who sat disquietly in the chair facing away from the computer console.

"Kira changed overnight Dr. O. She has always put so much care into her looks. She's always been sexy, but this morning, she was different." Connor sighed as he sat in the other chair with his head in his hands. "It was a complete 180."

Tommy had to agree after he saw his former student earlier that day as they came back with Kayla. She'd always been a carefree and wild spirit. and yet, in the matter of a few weeks, she was broken down. But the problem still remained.

Leaving Scott was one thing, but a man she looked to for protection, was something different.

"I love her Dr. O. I'll do anything, even propose to her tonight, if it'll turn things around."

Tommy looked at his student in concern. "You're an adult now and I look forward to the day you too tie the knot, but that may not be the answer right now. Her father has her by the heart strings and right now, we can't go charging in and remove her from her dad's house. She'll just keep going back, a husband's love is one thing but it can't take the place of a dad's love."

"If it comes to the point where she's endangered from him, then we'll move in and take action." Tommy paused as Connor got up and started pacing again. "Connor, I'm worried about her too. All we can do is wait for the ball to drop and then we'll decide what to do. For right now, we keep watch for any signs of abuse."

Connor looked at him again. And right then, Tommy could see the helpless angst in the young man's eyes. " I know. Right now, you just want to charge in and take Kira away from all this, but it's not time for that just yet."

The red ranger looked ready to protest.

The former mentor didn't waiver. "Love her Connor...and be there for her. But no matter what...don't do anything that her father will percieve as rebellion."

"Dr. O, your acting like you expect something bad to happen."

"I don't know what's going to happen Connor. For once, I know what you're feeling, but like you, I can't do a damn thing till something happens."

When the door opened that night and Kira walked into her house, she could hear shouting. Her heart fell when she heard the words, "Our daughter's behavior is dissapointing. The boy is turning her into a whore. I heard her moaning and panting in her sleep...just like a whore."

"She loves him Roger. What girl doesn't have such dreams about their boyfriends?"

"She's already given herself away to that Scott boy. And from the sound of things, she moved on pretty fast to the next one. If you love her Karen. If you don't want her to become like you, she's got to leave that other boy. This Connor kid."

Kira felt her heart break. She loved Connor...but she needed her dad too. As she truged to her room and collapsed in her bed, her heart was in turmoil. Why couldn't she just have both?

As you may have guessed already, things are going to get alot worse before they get better, just like real life. But no worries, Connor is the hero in this series after all!

See you all next chapter!
