Chapter 3:

Jason had tried to get some sleep on the couch, but his sleep was restless, it would take a while for him to accept his parent's betrayal because that is how it felt like for him. The two people who he expected to love him no matter what, had turned their back on him, they even attacked him.

Jason stood up and walked towards a sort of globe that was holding all of Tommy's stronger drinks. He poured himself a glass of whiskey and walked to the back door. He loved spending time on that back porch, he lend against a pole with his left arm, his head resting on his arm, looking out towards the woods behind the house of his new boyfriend, smiling at the thoughts of the man that held his heart, never would he have thought that this gorgeous man would love him back, looking in those brown pools made his heart melt and set his soul on fire. The closing of the door brought the original red ranger out of thoughts. He heard steps coming towards the back door, he was sure it would be Tommy. Jason was right it was his new boyfriend.

Tommy walked towards the back porch where he found Jason, his broad back naked and still in those same red sweatpants he was wearing this morning. Tommy brought his arms around Jason's waist and kissed his naked back carefully not to hurt Jason even more than he already was.

"I usually start with painkillers when I am hurt, not whiskey." Tommy quipped.

Jason sighed he knew Tommy was right but he it helped against the mental pain he was feeling.

"What do you think of making you ready and that we go to the hospital to look at that arm. Because if I wait for you to go, it will be an eternity before we get there."

Jason smiled at that comment.

Half an hour later was waiting for the doctor to come and look at Jason's shoulder. He didn't need to wait long though. Dr. Jacksons, a man well in his fifty's came to the waiting room, Jason couldn't help to think why he looked so familiar to him. But he shrugged at it.

"Mr. Scott?" he asked through the waiting room.

Jason and Tommy stood up. The doctor turned around and walked inside his cabinet.

He shook Jason's hand and Tommy's, who had followed his boyfriend inside, there was something about this doctor that just didn't feel right but he blamed it to his overprotective nature. Nobody would hurt Jason ever again he had vowed for himself. Tommy had always been little overprotective over the people that held his heart, ask Kimberly she would say the same.

"What can I help you with Gentlemen?" The doctor was polite but there was a stern edge in the man's voice.

"My shoulder hurts like hell." Jason tried to move his shoulder but it just hurt too much to do so.

Dr. Jacksons nodded, "I don't think it is broken but I need an X-ray just to be sure."

It was almost three hours later when Tommy and Jason left the hospital. His shoulder wasn't broken but cracked pretty well, he needed to wear a sling for 8 weeks.

"Oh by the way, here is a key to the house." Tommy gave Jason a key to his house, now it would be easy for him to access it. He needed to do another thing though, he needed to introduce Jason to his guard animals because he didn't want to find Jason in several pieces all through the house when they would get there opportunity to come upstairs. They drove in silence back to Tommy's house. Tommy glanced at Jason from time to time, who was clearly deep in thoughts.

"Honey, we are home!" Tommy shook Jason out of his thoughts, so deep in thoughts, he never noticed they were already back home.

"Ready for the introduction?" Tommy asked the moment they walked inside.

"I fought monsters, putties and a crazy witch with an even crazier husband. I think I can handle some dogs." Jason laughed not knowing what animals he could expect.

"who said anything about dogs?" Tommy quipped back.

Jason looked confused now, what other animals could he mean but hey they had served as a superhero under the command of a floating head, everything was possible.

Tommy pushed the button at the door and a secret trapdoor opened. Nothing yet all he could hear was loud growling and chirping. The former white commander whistled and it was like an earthquake was moving through the house until he stands eye to eye with the sources of the earthquake, four Raptors with each another color. He should have known. Jason shook his head leave it Tommy to have extinct guarding animals.

The four stood there ready to attack the strange man beside there master, but Tommy stopped them in time by raising his hand as a sign for them to stop. Tommy opened a closed where he had put a bag of meat as sort of introduction candy for them. The best way for them to trust Jason fully. He gave Jason his first piece of meat.

"The first one in rank behind me and now you is Rex, he is the one with the red on his head. He will start the attack. Give him the meet and let him sniff at your hand, he won't bite as long I don't give them a sign to do so."

Jason did like he was told, Rex stroked his head against Jason's hand, as a sign of acceptance and loyalty.

"He had accepted you as someone higher in rank, he will be loyal to you and the rest will follow his example."

Jason enjoyed caressing the raptor, he already had his favorite one.

"The next in line is blue," Jason did the same as what he had done with Rex.

"Blue is the one who keeps the order in the group whenever Rex is involved in an argument, let's say he is the one who solves their arguments."

Jason smiled, "Then we have the female of the group, Ptera. She is the vicious one of the four she is the one to attack from behind." Jason loved them all. He always thought that the dog was a man's best friend but that was until he found the loyalty of a Raptor.

"Last but not least is the youngster of the group my personal Raptor his name is Toronado because, hell you know my secret love for the series of Zorro, he too is as fast as the wind. If a bandit manages to escape the rest there is always Toronado to stop him. I know it is cruel for bandits to end their life this way but they will defend this home and us with their lives.

Toronado walked up towards his master in the hope for some extra meat.

"Sorry boy, that was the candy for today." Tommy whistled again and the Raptors moved back towards their place in the basement. If you want them to come, just push this button and whistle.

Tommy closed the trap door.

"What do you think if when went for some Chinese this evening. I am not in the mood for grading nor cooking." Tommy pulled Jason close and kissed his lips softly before drowning in those dark eyes. Jason smiled, thinking how could he be so lucky to find someone like him. Jason took his boyfriend's hand in his and walked to the front door.

It had been a long time since Jason had an evening like this. No worries, no thinking about what had happened just enjoying dinner with the man he loved. A man who would be with him no matter what had happened. The Chinese dinner was amazing. They were walking back to their car when Jason pulled Tommy to a stop. Fear could be seen in his eyes. When he saw two people come right at him. Tommy saw it too and stepped in front of Jason. They were not going to run away not for something that felt so right. They were ready to handle whatever was coming to them.
