Udonna swiftly left for Nick's sister's apartment. Nick was alone and he was in pain. Even Daggeron couldn't stop her from trying to help her son. She'd do the same thing for the other rangers, but Nick was crying for her, for his mother. If she didn't help him, who would? As soon as she arrived, she found Nick curled up in a ball crying on the floor in what was clearly the room he was staying in. She carefully moved him to the bed and he whimpered, "Mommy, don't leave."
"I'm not going anywhere," Udonna promised, gently stroking his hair.
Nick nodded and curled into her. "Safe," he mumbled against her chest.
Udonna understood and rubbed small circles against his back and said, "It's OK, Bowen, it's OK."
Udonna sat with Nick until she heard the door open again. Nick shifted and grabbed onto her arm. "Mommy, you promised," Nick begged his mother not to leave him.
Udonna nodded and said, "I'll just be talking to your sister."
Nick nodded and waited patiently for his mother to come back to him.
"Hello, you must be Kim," Udonna greeted the first Pink Ranger calmly.
"How do you know my name?" Kim asked.
Udonna took a deep breath and said, "My name is Udonna. Your little brother—Nick—he's really my son."
"Oh," Kim understood immediately.
"If you want, he can live with you…" Kim began.
"I would, but he's safer here," Udonna answered.
Kim nodded and then Udonna said, "I have to go check on him."
Kim nodded and watched as Udonna went back to Nick's room and found him crying. Kim continued watching as Udonna wrapped her arms around Nick and tenderly rocked him and said, "Don't cry, my little boy, don't cry. Mommy is here. Mommy's got you. Mommy will protect you."
Nick clung to Udonna and sniffling, murmured, "Mommy. Safe."
Udonna eventually calmed Nick down and gently tucked him into bed. "Sleep well, my little leader," Udonna gently kissed her son good night.
Kim smiled and said, "He needs you—and his father."
"His cousin—Clare—and I are all he has," Udonna murmured. "Just as Clare and he are all I have."
Kim nodded and then Udonna murmured, "Yet we are forbidden to be a normal family."
"What are you talking about?" Kim asked.
"As the Light, the Darkness will seek to find and destroy Bowen," Udonna explained. "A big reason he's been so safe for the past nineteen years, is you, Kim. As one of the first five rangers, you prevented anyone from noticing Nick, because you were there to protect him!"
Kim nodded and Udonna watched her son shift in his sleep, whimpering, "Mommy, I'm scared."
Udonna knelt down beside his bed and whispered, "Shh, don't be scared. Don't be scared."
Kim hesitantly asked, "What about his father?"
"Leanbow, along with Bowen's Auntie Niella—my sister—died twenty years ago, to protect him," Udonna explained calmly.
Kim nodded and bowed her head—a sign for grief for two fellow rangers who had died in combat.
