DISCLAIMER
Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. Flashpoint belongs to CBS and whoever else is affiliated with it. I was also wondering if anyone was interested in making a trailer for this.
With a yell, Kimberly knocked Sam to the ground and then got out from under the sheets just as he got back up and lunged at her. Oh, man. This is not what I wanted to be doing tonight, she thought as she dodged his attack.
"Sam, fight it!" she shouted.
"Die, Pink Ranger!" he responded with a roar. She stared at his eyes, the brown hidden by the red haze. Zedd, she thought. Except for the time she had been poisoned with jealousy, his mind spells had always caused his victim's eyes to flash red. Her eyes darkened. Why did that freak always use someone she cared about against her? Heaven knew he had used Tommy enough times. She let out a kick, knocking Sam back against the wall. He moaned. The door flung open to reveal a nurse and a doctor.
"What's going on here?" the nurse demanded. Kimberly ignored them and hurried towards Sam.
"Oh, my head," he moaned.
"Don't worry. You'll be okay," Kimberly assured him.
"Jules?" Sam asked. "Wha-how'd I get here?" he wondered.
"That doesn't matter. What's important is that you're okay," she replied. Ptera, I felt your emotions spike. What's going on? Do you need us? she heard Tommy ask. I'm fine, Dragon. Just stay where you are, she told him.
"Miss, do you require assistance?"
"No, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure, but I could use some water, Tylenol, and a cold compress." Though not entirely convinced, the firm tone left no room for arguments. The doctor and nurse left the room to get the required items.
"Just breathe in and out slowly. You'll be okay," Kimberly told him.
"Jules, what's going on? I mean, were you really a Power Ranger?" Sam asked.
"Yeah," Kimberly confirmed. "Only, as I'm sure Zedd told you, my name's Kimberly, not Jules," she continued.
"Zedd?" Sam asked in confusion.
"The guy who placed you under the spell," Kimberly answered.
"That doesn't make sense. The last thing I remember is going to the Frederick Dustin show," Sam told her.
"That must be how he's doing it. Gotta admit, that's pretty clever," Kimberly stated. Disguising himself as a human magician. Zedd's gotten smarter, she thought to herself. The nurse came back with the items and handed them to the girl who gave the pill to Sam. He took it and then washed it down with the water.
"Thanks. That'll be all." Again, the tone left no room for arguments and the nurse left. "Just sit here, you'll be okay," she told him.
"How can you be so calm around me? I just tried to kill you," Sam reminded her. She should be afraid of me. I attacked her, he thought.
"Oh, please. You think you're the only one who's ever been mind-warped into trying to kill me?" Kimberly responded with a roll of her eyes.
"You're honestly telling me that this has happened before?" Sam asked.
"Almost all the time when I was a kid," Kimberly replied.
"Why is everything spinning?" Sam wondered.
"Side effect from the spell wearing off," Kimberly told him. "It might be better if you just get some sleep," she continued.
"Sleep?" Sam repeated. "Are you serious?" Kimberly nodded.
"Yeah, it'll make the headache pass quicker," she told him. Sam sighed. He was all for that. He spread out on the floor and closed his eyes. Kimberly waited until she was sure he was asleep and then went back to the bed. When she woke up the next morning, Sam was still sleeping. The door opened to reveal a different doctor than the one from the previous night. Seeing the sleeping officer, he started for him, only to be surprised by Kimberly rushing in front of him.
"Don't you dare wake him up," she hissed.
"He obviously snuck in after hours and-" he began to say.
"And if you wake him up, I will make your life miserable," she interrupted.
"All right, all right," the man grumbled. Sheesh. What's her problem? he wondered. "Well, you shouldn't be standing, so get back into bed," he ordered.
"All right, fair enough," Kimberly agreed and got back on the bed. Since she was no longer a Ranger, wounds took longer to heal, though there still seemed to be residual affects of the Power's enhanced healing abilities.
"That a girl," the doctor encouraged. Kimberly rolled her eyes. Please. It's not like I'll be in here all that long, she thought. He walked up to her. "Now we'll be getting you some breakfast in a couple of hours," he continued, placing a hand on her arm. Personal space, buddy, Kimberly thought, shooting him a look. "Sorry. My apologies," he said, removing his hand. Sam looked at her in confusion. Is she feeling an adrenaline rush or something? he wondered.
"It's fine. Thank you," Kimberly said. The man left and the girl blew out a breath. "I hate being cooped up," she muttered.
"Ah, don't worry. I bet we can kill the two hours," Sam stated.
"Oh, yeah, how?"
"I have my ways."
"Uh-huh, I'm sure you do." They laughed. Then, they continued to talk and before they knew it, breakfast was being brought into the room.
"Ah, here we are," the nurse said, placing the tray on the bed. Then, "How did-"
"He just got here," Kimberly interrupted. The nurse nodded and left them alone. The girl bit into an egg and then made a face.
"Ew. How come hospitals can't ever make food that is edible?" she wondered and Sam laughed. Nevertheless, she continued to eat until the food was gone. After breakfast, the rest of the SRU plus Jason, Tommy, and Katherine came in.
"Hey, guys," Kimberly greeted.
"Hey. Everything okay?" Tommy asked.
"I'm fine, Dragon. You worry too much," Kimberly responded. The team, except for Ed, stared at each other, and then the four, in confusion.
"It's a high school thing," Katherine replied.
"So you guys had a habit of getting headaches in high school?" Sam questioned.
"Wait, are we missing something here?" Wordy questioned. Ed looked at Kimberly who bit her lip.
"What's going on, Kim?" Tommy questioned.
"Tommy, you're not going to like this. I mean, we're all in big trouble here," Kimberly answered.
"What is it?" Jason asked.
"Zedd's reverted." Tommy, Jason, and Katherine inhaled sharply.
