Gia hissed and pulled her arm away.

"OW! Tensou!"

The little robot had just finished making her a new cast for her arm when she felt a pinch above her elbow. She glared at Tensou angrily.

"What the hell was that?"

"Don't lose your cast again…" Tensou replied meekly. Though he knew he deserved it for pinching her, he always hated when the Rangers raised their voices at him. He only ever did his best. "You're arm's healing, we wouldn't want to set it back, would we?"

"Sorry, Tensou," Gia said and thanked the robot for his work. Tensou nodded his head and then rolled around the room to examine the other Rangers. After the alien had been defeated, Tensou had been called over to look after his team, instead of them teleporting to the command center or going to the doctor's. Mrs. Moran wanted to be there to help out, and she was also certain that after the storm the hospital would be full of patients and there would be no one available to help the Rangers.

It was also the reason she had asked Mrs. Goodall to head to the pharmacy even though she had a first aid kit filled up with everything she would need and more, and Tensou also came with his own supply of medical equipment. However, Mrs. Goodall couldn't be allowed to seen Tensou rolling around, and she couldn't find out that the kids were the Power Rangers. Mrs. Moran needed her out of the house long enough so Tensou could work.

"It's just a sprain," Tensou assured Emma as he examined her ankle. "There's lot of nasty bruising, but nothing that won't heal on its own. Keep the ice on it."

"Thanks, Tensou," Emma said and put the ice pack down on her legs. After being trapped under and behind some rocks, she was sporting some very dark, very painful bruises on her legs and arms. With help from Mrs. Moran, she had been able to walk home and she was sure that nothing was broken, there was just a lot of pain. Fortunately, the rocks hadn't been too heavy. Her panic just got the better of her.

"As for you," Tensou rolled over to Jake, who gave him the most concern because he had been unconscious the longest, "You should rest. No physical activity for the next little while."

"Soccer…?"

"Out," Tensou said. "And I think Gosei would agree, no Rangering for the next few days. Not until we know what's going on inside that head of yours."

"I've got a hard head," Jake smirked, "Tensou, I'll be fine."

Tensou raised himself so he was at eye level with Jake and then flashed a bright light. Jake blinked and recoiled painfully.

"Ow! Tensou!"

"Sorry…" Tensou lowered, almost in a slump, "You're best staying off your feet – in bed or on a couch – with someone looking over you."

Just as Jake felt comfortable opening his eyes, he heard a loud banging sound and a curse coming from Noah. He put his hands to his ears and shrank further into the couch.

"Can't everyone just shut up?"

"Sorry," Noah whispered and backed away from the table, "But I can't see where I'm going! I'm blind, remember."

"Here," Tensou rolled over to Noah and pulled a pair of goggles from his chest, "I made these just in case something happened to your glasses in battle."

Noah took the goggles and put them on his head. He looked around the room and saw his teammates were all trying to hold back their laughs. Noah went to the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror.

"Aw, man!" he cried as he walked back to the living room, "I look like a dork!"

"And coming from you, that's saying something," Jake laughed. Noah shot him a look and he shrugged, "Sorry, dude, but you know…"

Noah sighed.

Tensou slumped down a little more, "Sorry, Noah. I'll come up with something better, I promise."

Tensou then looked around the room. There was nothing more he could do. He had analyzed the Rangers, fixed up any serious injuries, and had given them all the advice he had. All he could do now was hope they listened to him and hope they felt better soon.

"Thank you, Tensou," Mrs. Moran said and put a hand on his head, "You were a big help."

Tensou straightened up a little bit as he looked up at Mrs. Moran.

"Hey, Noah," Jake called to his best friend for another tease, "You get x-ray vision with those glasses?"

"Shut up!" Noah frowned and crossed his arms over his chest. "Stupid goggles."

"Guys, c'mon," Mrs. Moran shook her head and looked to the Rangers with disappointment, especially Noah and Jake. She focused her attention on Noah, "You should be grateful Tensou thought ahead and made you a pair of goggles. If he hadn't been so kind, you'd still be bumping into furniture."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Noah said. He looked down at Tensou, "Thanks for the goggles. They're a big help."

Tensou straightened himself up a little more. Mrs. Moran looked to Jake.

"And I'm sure Tensou worked hard on those goggles."

"Yeah. Hey, sorry, Tensou."

Tensou nodded his head to accept the apology and then looked up at Mrs. Moran. She smiled at him, placed a gentle hand on his head, and looked to the Rangers.

"He did a good job coming here and helping you all out. So maybe a…"

"Thanks, Tensou," the team said all at once, but Tensou didn't hear. He kept staring up at Mrs. Moran with a seemingly happy demeanour. It was hard to tell because he was a robot and didn't have much of a face. Emma leaned over and whispered to Gia.

"Why is he staring?"

"Malfunction?" Gia whispered back. "Uh, Tensou, thanks again for the help, but you should probably get going. You know, before Mrs. Goodall gets back and sees you. Tensou? Tensou!"

"What?" Tensou turned to Gia and shook his head gently.

"Maybe it's time you left, before Emma's mom comes back."

"Oh… yes," Tensou nodded. He pressed a few buttons on his chest and suddenly disappeared as he teleported back to the command center. It was just in time, too, as the door to the house opened suddenly.

"Gia?"

Gia's eyes widened. In all the drama she had forgotten about Serena. Right before the monster attack, Serena had been training out in the park. It wouldn't have been the first time Serena had been caught in the middle of danger, but Gia did panic for a moment until she saw the white Ranger running into the room.

When Serena walked in, she saw the Rangers and Mrs. Moran and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're all here?" she asked.

"Not Troy," Emma sighed and shook her head. Jake scoffed.

"He never showed."

"Jake, I'm sure he's got a good reason," Noah said. Jake shook his head.

"A good reason? Alright, I'll give him a little credit, when it comes to aliens, Vrak's been sending a bunch of weak ones lately…"

"Clones excepted," Gia pointed out.

Jake nodded and then turned back to Noah, "Yeah, but still, even when he sends out weak aliens, they're weak with a lot of power. They're still dangerous. It would have been nice to have a bit of a helping hand getting past all those monster's weather attacks. Maybe, with Troy around, we wouldn't have had to call that retreat and the city wouldn't have been in ruins!"

"Jake, calm down," Emma said. "It's not like Troy to miss training, never mind a battle. Something could have happened."

"He could be hurt," Noah added. "That storm was pretty nasty. Maybe he was on his way."

Jake didn't have time to argue. He and the others heard a knock on the door. Mrs. Moran went to open it, wondering who it could be. She smiled to see Troy. He looked tired, and wet from walking through the streets, but he seemed okay. She invited him inside and to the living room.

"You're all okay?" Troy asked when he saw his teammates sitting on couches and chairs. They were sporting a few injuries, but they were all awake and seemed to be fine. Once the storm had cleared and he and Rebecca had explained what happened to his parents, he had gone all over town looking for his friends. Communication between them had been cut off so Troy had a hard time of it. He looked around the city before teleporting directly to the command center. He arrived shortly after Tensou, who pointed him to Gia's house.

"No thanks to you," Jake muttered. He put his bag of ice on his head.

Troy looked apologetically to each of his friends, "You guys, I'm so sorry. I would have been there, I swear, but…"

"But what? Did Vrak himself appear and challenge you to a duel?"

"Jake, let him explain," Gia reached out and slapped him on the shoulder. Jake groaned and slumped in his seat.

"My parents just left the house when Rebecca's water broke," Troy said and he saw the shocked looks on all the Rangers' faces. He continued with the story. "I had to get Ryan to the neighbours, and call my parents, but before I could do any of that the storm hit and I got the call about the alien."

"What's your point?" Jake asked.

"Rebecca was all alone and terrified," Troy said. "I had to get her to the hospital. I couldn't leave her by herself. The phones were dead, so I had no way of calling my parents. I wanted to be with you guys, I really did, but it was just bad timing."

"Rebecca would have been fine," Jake scoffed. He was slapped again on the shoulder by Gia, who gave him a pointed look. He looked around the room and saw Emma and Mrs. Moran were also glaring at him.

"Why don't you try shoving a baby out of your crotch?" Mrs. Moran frowned. She turned to Troy with a sympathetic smile, "I'm sure it was a difficult decision, and I think this is one time where Ranger duties came second."

"We could have died," Jake said. Gia smacked his again, "OW! Stop it! That hurts!"

"My point," Gia said. She looked to Troy, "We really needed you on the battle field, but I think I agree with mom, you made the right decision."

"I wanted to be there," Troy repeated, "but Rebecca was all alone and she was terrified. I couldn't leave her, and even if I did, what would I have told her?"

"How is the baby?" Emma asked.

"Healthy, fortunately," Troy said. "And I don't think Rebecca's going to be having another one anytime soon."

"Why do you think I stopped after Gia," Mrs. Moran chuckled.

"We're waiting for the phone services to come back on," Troy said. "Once they do, the baby will be leaving with Mia and Kevin."

"Mia and Kevin?" Serena asked. "Wait, Rebecca… are we talking about…?"

"Rebecca Daniels," Troy nodded. "Mia and Kevin are adopting her baby."

"My Mia and Kevin?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I knew they were adopting," Serena said, "And I knew they were expecting him any day now, but they never mentioned that. How do you know my nephew?"

"He's my nephew too."

Serena nodded her head as she let that sink in. Then she pulled out her Samuraizer.

"Fortunately, I've got this," she said with a smile, "Full service."

"You can call…"

"Only between Samuraizers," Serena interrupted Gia, who looked mad at her for not calling sooner. "I can only reach the other Samurai. Mia and Kevin are going to be thrilled to hear this."

As Serena left the room to try and get in touch with her two teammates, Troy turned back to his own. He sighed loudly.

"Look, you guys, I am really sorry. I know I let you down. As leader, I should have…"

"Gia did a good job in your place," Noah said and casually shrugged his shoulders. "It got a little rough for a while, but we made it all out alive. It could have been worse."

"That shouldn't be an option. Look, I don't regret helping Rebecca; I do regret having to choose her over you. I'm sorry for that."

"Apology accepted," Gia, Emma, and Noah smiled. Gia gave Jake a little nudge.

"Yeah, dude, apology accepted. I guess it all worked out for the best anyway. No harm done."

"Thanks, that really means a lot," Troy said. "Now, uh… can I ask you something?"

"What?"

Troy walked over to Jake and leaned over the back of his seat. He whispered, "What's with Noah's… face?"

"I lost my glasses after the fight," Noah cried as he overheard the boys. "I can't see without them… oh, shut up, all of you."
