It had been a couple days since Cruger discharged Adam. Things were back to normal. Kat and Cruger were in the Command Center. The base knew about their relationship, but nobody but the Rangers dared to say anything.

Kat was typing on a computer and Doggie was sitting in his seat. He was staring at Kat.

Gawd she's so beautiful. I love her so much. He though.

Kat caught him staring at her.

"Is there something interesting about me?" Kat asked.

"Hum?" Cruger asked quickly.

"Is there something interesting about me? You've been staring at me for the past thirty minutes." Kat said with a smile.

Cruger got up out of his chair and walked over to Kat. There was nobody else in the room.

He walked behind Kat and hugged her from behind.

"You're beautiful you know what." Cruger said as he kissed her neck.

Kat turned around, "I – know- you- tell- me- all- the- time." Kat said in between kisses.

Cruger smiled, "Well that's because it's true." He said.

He pulled her into another kiss but she stopped him, "We're at work, we can't right now. If Birdie finds out he'll have us fired." Kat said.

"Fine." Cruger said as he walked back to his chair and flopped down.

"Quit acting like a baby, or I'll reconsider having dinner with you tonight." Kat said.

Cruger's head snapped back around, "Oh really?" He asked with a smile.

"Yes." Kat said back.

"Fine then." Cruger said.

Kat turned around and went back to work.

I swear he can be such a child sometimes. But I love him. Kat though.

Kat heard the Rangers arguing down the hallway, thanks to her special abilities. She looked at Cruger, who had heard it too.

"Oh great. It's your turn." Kat said.

They had been taking turns solving the Rangers quarrels. Kat had stopped Sky from beating Jack up last night.

"I know." Cruger said as he composed himself.

Just then the Rangers walked in.

"No you're wrong!"

"No I'm not."

"Quit lying!"

"I'm not!"

They were all fighting, but Bridge who never did.

"What is the meaning of this? We could hear you coming down the hallway!" Cruger yelled.

The Rangers instantly stopped fighting.

"Well, I'm waiting." Cruger growled.

He really wasn't in the mood.

The Rangers all started to speak at once.

"Okay! Everybody shut up!" Damien yelled as he walked in, "I mean really? What are you a bunch of three year olds? You're power rangers! Stop acting like children. I can hear you from outside!"

They all looked at Damien shocked.

"Well, that about sums it up. Rangers, go to training." Cruger ordered.

The Rangers saluted their Commander and walked out of the Command Center.

"What's wrong Damien?" Kat asked.

"Nothing mom. I just have a headache." Damien said.

Kat looked at her son there was something wrong with him.

"You're lying to me. I can always tell. What's wrong?" Kat persisted.

"Nothing, it's just I'm waiting on Rowan to get here." Damien said.

"Who's Rowan?" Cruger asked.

"She's my pet," Damien said, "I had her stay at the station when I came. I didn't know how you would react with me being here, and I thought I didn't need her."

"Wait? How is your pet going to help protect Kat?" Cruger asked.

"I'll show you when she gets here. In fact, she should be here any minute." Damien said, "Let's go meet her."

XxX

Kat, Damien, and Doggie were waiting for Rowan.

Hum, I wonder what she's going to look like. I mean it's going to take A LOT to protect Kat. Cruger though.

A ship pulled into the bay and the door opened.

A pure black wolf walked out. She wasn't that tall, or looked that vicious.

That's Rowan? How in the hell is she supposed to protect Kat? Cruger though.

"Rowan!" Damien yelled.

The wolf ran over to Damien and jumped on him. She licked his face.

"Rowan! Stop it!" Damien laughed.

Rowan jumped off of Damien.

"Um not to be rude or anything, but how is SHE going to help protect Kat?" Cruger asked.

Damien laughed. "You haven't even seen what she can do." Damien looked at Rowan, "show them."

Rowan backed up a few feet and suddenly she was surrounded by shadows. They disappeared just as fast as they appeared, but they weren't looking at the same Rowan. She had changed. Her fur was still black but she had white stripes on her paws. She was also about six feet tall now, and had fangs that were at least half an inch long.

"Oh wow." Kat said. She walked over to Rowan.

Rowan licked her face and Kat laughed.

"Mom, Rowan's going to be your new protector. She's not to leave your side," Damien looked at Rowan, "Understand?"

Rowan nodded.

"But she can't talk? How is she going to tell us if something's wrong?" Cruger asked.

"I have a mental connection with her. She talks to me through telepathy." Damien said.

"Oh that works too." Cruger said.

XxX

Kat was working in her lab. It was about midnight.

Kat looked down to see Rowan asleep right beside her.

Kat heard a knocking at the doors, but it was faint. Rowan's ear twitched but she didn't wake up.

Kat quietly got up and walked to the door. It opened quietly, but nobody was there. Kat stepped out and was grabbed from the side.

Somebody had a hand over her mouth, so she couldn't talk.

"Shh. Stop moving." A voice quietly said.

Kat stopped struggling for a minute. Adam! Damnit! Kat though.

Kat tried to get out of his grasp, but couldn't.

"I told you to stop moving!" He said as he threw her into the wall.

Kat's head hit the wall hard. Her vision was fuzzy. Then she felt pain in her side.

Adam was kicking her in her side.

Kat felt like she was going to be sick. She was slowly losing consciousness.

"Oh no." Adam said, "I don't want you to pass out on me before I make you pay."

Adam hit Kat across the face. Kat spit out blood.

XxX

Rowan heard a loud 'Bang'. She looked up to see Kat wasn't there.

She jumped up and ran out of the lab.

When she got there, a man was hitting Kat across the face.

Rowan instantly transformed and rammed the guy, Kat fell to the ground.

Adam looked up and when he seen Rowan he instantly began to run away. But Rowan was too quick. She jumped on him, and he hit his head and was knocked out.

Damien, Damien Kat's hurt! She was attacked by some guy. I'm taking her to the infirmary. Rowan said mentally to Damien.

I'll meet you there. Damien called back.

Rowan didn't waste any time, she ran back over to Kat and picked her up by her shirt. She ran to the infirmary.

When she got there, Dr. Felix was getting ready to leave.

Rowan ran to him and whined.

"Woah!" He exclaimed. He backed into the corner.

Rowan rolled her eyes and put Kat on a bed and transformed back into her original form.

Cruger came running in. "What's wrong?"

Felix pointed to Rowan.

"Felix, it's okay. Rowan's here to protect-"But he cut off when he seen Kat.

"Kat!"

Damien came running in. "Rowan! Where is?" Damien asked.

"Wait? Where's who?" Cruger asked.

"Some man was beating mom." Damien growled.

"What!" Cruger yelled.

"Rowan take me to him now!" Damien growled.

"Wait!" Cruger yelled at Damien. He looked at Felix, "Fix Kat up."

Damien gave Cruger a cold look.

"I'm going to kill that asshole. No matter what you say or do." Damien growled at Cruger.

They started running down the hall.

"I know, I'm going to help you."

When they got to the spot, nobody was there.

"Rowan are you sure that this is the place?" Damien asked.

Yes Damien, I'm sure. Rowan thought.

"Damn, he's gone!" Cruger yelled.

Damien hit his fists on the wall. He was going to get this asshole. He was going to make him pay for everything he had done.


M'kay so this chapter's done.

Clifhanger. Mwhaah :D
