Making amends and pasts revealed
Dom was sitting in his office when he heard a knock on the door. It was Connor.
"Mr. W. can I come in?" He asked
"Sure, come right in." Dom replied. Connor walked in and closed the door
"I would like to apologise for what happened yesterday. I was making an ass out of myself."
"I know your were angry Connor. It's understandable. Your life has change in ways that you never thought possible and you are having a hard time coping. Believe me I have been there before especially when I met the originals."
"If I may ask, how did you meet the others? You are a lot younger than the rest of them."
"I know. They treat me like a younger brother. They still do some times but I could not imagine my life without all of them."
"So, how did you guys meet?"
"I met them when I was twelve. This was back when tommy had just become the green ranger. My parents had just gotten divorced and I left because of all the infighting. Kim and the others had found me in the park by myself. I had told her what happened and they agreed to be my older siblings. My dad gained custody of me and he was useless. All he wanted to do was drink and lay around the house. I left a few times a week to go see her. She invited me to meet her friends. I figured they were the power rangers almost right away. This was also the time I discovered that I had a knack for machines. My dad drove home drunk one night and crashed. He died that night. Zordon had agreed to let me stay in the command center. I would still attend school while pretending I was staying at the children's shelter there in Angel grove. To try to move on with the experience I had with my dad I buried myself in the archives that were in the command center, absorbing as much knowledge as I could about the zords as well as the ranger abilities. Billy had helped me through this whole process. I eventually began to help on the zords trying to improve their performance."
"You must have had it rough." Connor said
"Not as much as you would think. With Billy there I was able to learn very quickly. I still went to school but it was boring die to how much I learned. Then Jason and the others left for the peace conference and Rocky, Adam, and Aisha came into my life. they all helped me have some contact with the outside world due to me becoming a recluse. Kim leaving was as hard on me as it was Tommy. Katherine filled the void Kim left and I tried to move forward. Then the Command center was destroyed and we had to upgrade to the Zeo powers. Aisha had left and Tanya had joined up. The old zords were gone so got use to the new ones fairly quickly. everything was going good until Kim sent that stupid letter."
"What letter? I hear her and Dr.O talk about it. She seems sad when she does." Connor asked
"She sent a letter breaking up with tommy. From how it sounded she was going to stay in Florida. While the others tried to cheer Tommy up I called Jason and let him in on what was going on. he went to Florida and stayed with her. At least until he was asked to reclaim the gold powers that I have now. Then I think Trini went to Florida at Jason's request. I was happy to see Jason but it was not the same. Billy then had to leave due to an emergency concerning his health. He left the planet entirely. I had felt that my friends were abandoning me. I had become more withdrawn from society. Jason then left again and the turbo powers came. Then the island."
"The Island?" Connor asked
"the Space pirate Divatox and captured Jason and Kim. From what I could tell Kim was already a few months after her pregnancy but managed to hide it from tommy. She had left without saying anything to us. She had gone back to Florida. Rocky left after he was injured and Justin came. I got along with him well and things were starting to look up. I had finished the upgrades to the turbo zords when I got the call the meet at the command center. This was the time that Zordon left and Tommy and the others were asked to pass on the powers. Justin had stayed and I met TJ, Cassie, Ashely, and Carlos. They were nice but I did not feel drawn to them as I did the others and they knew it to. When the Power chamber was destroyed a second time due to Demetria's incompetence I left. For the first time in a long time I was alone. Justin had moved away and the others became the space rangers."
"What happened after that?" they heard a voice say. Ethan and Kira had walked in.
"After that I wondered around for a bit. I was sixteen at the time. I had no home and no body to rely on. I had little money to live off of. Everyone I knew had left. I slept in my car for about two months until Adam found me"
"You were Homeless?" Kira asked
"not really I lived out of my car. I had developed distrust in people. Adam had called the others and told them what had happened to me. Tommy took me home to his house and I stayed there. Everybody but Kim who was in Florida and Kat who was in London came to see me. Aisha had come home at that time. Jason, Tommy and Adam wanted to keep an eye on me due to depression that I developed. Tommy's mom nursed me back to health and I stayed in the guest bedroom at his place."
"So, that's why you and Dr.O are tight." Ethan said
"That and he helped me when I need him most. I still distance myself from people. He and the others are the only ones I have ever been close to. I have meet some of the Reds during the Moon Mission two years ago but even then I still don't trust people."
"Wow, you have had it rough" Kira said
"I have but so have the others this life is hard. I graduated college when I was 20 and through Tommy had a few government contracts where I worked in my field of mechanics."
The bell rang just then signaling that the day was over. They all had early release and now was the time to meet Tommy. The Kids said goodbye to Dom and left to go see Tommy. They got to his room 5 minutes later and saw him with Kim,Kat, and Jason.
"Hey Dr.O, sorry we are late. We were with Mr.W" Ethan said
"You were?" Tommy asked
"Yeah I went there to apologize for what happened yesterday. He also told us how he met you guys and his life since then. To think I thought my life was hard." Connor said
"What did he tell you guys?" Jason asked
"Everything. From the time he met you guys to Adam finding him in the park." Tommy and Jason sighed. Kim and Kat were confused
"We had failed him. He would never admit it aloud but he felt betrayed after we all left." Tommy said
"you guys had enough on your plate. I did not want to worry you all." Dom said walking in
"Dom you were 20 pounds under weight and extremely malnourished." Jason said frowning
The girls looked at Dom with daggers.
"Girls I am fine. better than ever. Besides Trini read me the riot act when she found out."
"I had never seen you so scared." Tommy smirking
"you would be too if you had three angry yellows glaring at you. Trini came over and she brought Tanya and Aisha." Dom shaking his head said. " I thought her head was going to explode. I told her I would go shopping with her after I got better."
"how did that go?" Kim asked knowing how her best friend shopped
"a nightmare. Me, Rocky, and Adam were all sore after it was over. 6 hours of pain."
They all laughed then were about to head out the door when the evil green ranger appeared
"looks like the gang is all here. good it will make it easier to destroy you. Meet me in the quarry in half an hour." He said
"Or what?" Connor replied
"or I will attack the civilians of this city." He left
"Kim and Jason can you pick up the kids from school. Kat can you go to the cybercafé and get Hayley." Tommy asked
"Dr.O we aren't going to fight him are we? It could be a trap?" Kira said
"It probably is but knowing Dragon he keeps his promises." Dom said
"we go three and two. Me and Dom will go. You three keep an eye out for traps or reinforcements."
"Dom. I have come to a decision. I want back in." Jason said. Dom looked at him then at Tommy.
"you sure? you still have to think about Trevor." Dom said
"I know but I just don't like feeling helpless." Jason said
"How does Dom know how to get your powers back?" Kim said looking at Jason
"Later. When we go to Angel Grove this weekend."Dom said finishing the conversation
"why this weekend?" Ethan asked
"My brother and my family still do not know I am alive." Tommy said sighing
"dude David is going to kill you." Jason said laughing
Tommy and Dom left the school in Tommy's jeep. They arrived at the quarry 15 minutes later
"Handsome we picked up Trevor and Renee." Kim said into Tommy's communicator
"go get him daddy." Renee squeaked
"Renee daddy is busy." They heard Kim say sternly
"Dr.O we made it to your house. All good."
"We are here also." Hayley said
"Dom be careful." Kat said
"Will do Kitty" Dom said
"I never actually saw your morpher where is it Mr. W" Kira asked
"Call me Dom and it is with me."
"the gold powers don't have a visible morpher." Jason said
"Right." Dom agreed
"So you two are the only ones that showed up huh?" Dragon said appearing out of a green flash
"Dragon, it is time to bury your hatred." Tommy said
"are you so sure Tommy? After everything your friends put you through." He asked evily
"Ready Tommy?" Dom asked
"Ready." Tommy pulled out his morpher
"DINO THUNDER POWER UP!" he inserted the key into his morpher
"IT'S MORPHING TIME! GOLD RANGER POWER." Dom crossed his arms
They both morphed and the battle ensued. Dragon started to play the flute and the two rangers in black got out of the way. Tommy pulled out his staff and Dom summoned his. They had decided that close quarters was the one way to beat him. Tommy fired his wind strike at him to knock him off balenece to let Dom hit him with a blast for the gold staff. They traded blows for close to 15 minutes when Dom created an opening and Tommy delivered the final blow
"Congrats Tommy, you have finally conquered your hatred." Dragon said holding hand out. Tommy took it and the green powers back into his body. The clone coin disappeared and Tommys eyes flashed green for a second. Dom smirked and they went back to the jeep. They arrived back at tommy's house 25 minutes later. The teens left for the day
"good job you two." Jason said
Kim walked over to her boyfriend and kissed him and hugged him as did renee. Kat stood there deep in thought and walked over to Dom and kissed him not on the forehead like usual but on the lips. Dom was surprised but he returned the sentiment. Kat had finally gotten over her fear and realize Dom was the one for her. They heard a click and Kim stood there smiling with a camera. Tommy and Jason were smiling. Kat looked at Dom and Blushed.
"Kim leave them alone." Tommy said
"nope this picture is going to the other girls." Kim said definatly
"Gossip?" Jason asked
"Oh yeah." Kim said
"told you so." Dom said looking at Kat
"Good going Kat guess you finally decided to move forward." Hayley
"Thanks Hayley."
"guess this means I can finally give you're your gift I have been working on." Dom said. Everyone but Tommy was confused
"you finished it?" Tommy asked
"I did. It is my workshop in Angel grove. I managed to get everything ranger related out of the old Power Chamber into the workshop I created out of the Zord bay." Dom said
"When are you going to give it to her?" Kim asked
"this weekend. Like Me and Tommy said earlier we are going to Angel Grove this weekend." Dom said
