Chapter 10
They had stepped into Tommy's house and heard Kira downstairs yelling. She apparently had tried to leave. They told her that Dr. O said not to leave. Kim looked over at Tommy and had the look that said I told you so. They all went downstairs.
Tommy had went first to see Trent holding Kira down on the ground. Tommy was shocked that Trent had even touched Kira. She was a lot like Kim in that she was a she-devil when she didn't get her way. He would now have three angry females on his friends. His list just kept growing.
"Trent, what are you doing?" He asked. He saw Trent's face and knew it was not going well.
"She was trying to go after Connor. I did the only thing I could think of." Trent said. He was regretting his rash decision to stop Kira. She was biting and slapping him. He was trying to hold down her arms.
"I only wanted to do what we should have done a long time ago. We are Power Rangers and we are leaving one of our own out there." Kira huffed out. She finally dislodged Trent from on top of her. She kicked him for good measure even though she did not kick him hard. He backed away from her and went to stand behind Tommy.
"Kira go sit down. Trent next time she moves tie her up. Everyone this is Billy. Billy this is Hayley on the computer, Ethan beside her, Trent going to sit next to Kira on the couch. They are my rangers except for Hayley who is my "Billy"." Tommy said as he pointed out each of them. Hayley and Ethan did not even look up from the computer but Kira and Trent each raise their hand.
"It is nice to meet all of you. Tommy, where do I need to go?" Billy asked. He looked over all the computers. He was very impressed at Tommy's set-up.
Tommy pointed to the roll of computers along the far wall next to Hayley. He knew that Billy would know what to do. He turned back to Kim, Jason, and Trini. He leaned in and asked Kim to come upstairs with him. She said yes and followed him upstairs. Jason and Trini watched their best friends go back upstairs as they went to sit next to Kira and Trent on the couch. It was going to be a long afternoon.

"Okay Tommy what do you want?" Kim asked him as she sat down on the couch. Tommy went to stand next to the TV. He folded his arms across his chest.
"We need to talk about what Elsa said earlier." Tommy said as he watched her expression fall.
"Shoot. I am ready." Kim said as she braced herself for the worst.
"Kim, you are one of the greatest rangers. Zordon told me that there were two and that they would come to light when they are needed the most. I am not sure who the other is. I knew that you were here before you showed up because you caused a Power Surge in the morphing grid. Hayley detected the surge. The other great power has not given a surge yet. It may be Zack since Billy did not set off the alarms that I set up." Tommy said as he unfolded his arms and went to sit next to her on the couch.
"Tommy what does this mean. Do I get powers? Do I have to be a ranger for the rest of my life? Do I have to go on another quest?" Kim asked as she grabbed Tommy's hands.
"I'm not sure Kim. I don't know anything about it. I was hoping that Billy could help with that. Kim you are going to be fine. You have been a ranger before so this won't be anything new." He said as he squeezed her hands. He was scared for her. She was doing something that he couldn't watch out for her.
"Tommy, I am scared. I just want to know what to expect." She said. She was trying not to lean into him. She missed his strength and his embrace. She just wanted to know what to do.
"It's okay, Kim. I am here for you. We will find a way. I promise you." Tommy said. He wanted this to be over.
"Tommy I do have a question for you." Kim suddenly said.
"Go ahead." He said as he let go of her hands.
"Why don't you go after Connor by yourself? You know those dimensions better than anyone." She asked. She had not even thought of this earlier.
"I don't know. I guessed that I never thought to go after Connor myself. I could do it." He said as a light came on in his head. He had been so worried about sending in the Rangers that he did not think to go in himself.
"Yes you can do it. You are Tommy Oliver. You were all over those dimensions when you were the Evil Green Ranger well Rita's at least." She said.
She knew that he had not thought to go by himself. He was not the Red or White ranger. He was trying to follow and not be the leader that he was that was his problem. He did not think to step up and be the leader again.
"Would you go with me? You know those dimensions as well. You have been captured more than me remember." He said with a smile. He wanted Kim to come with him. He knew that she could handle this mission without powers.
"What? Yes, I will go with you. Are you sure?" She asked. She was trying to hold back her excitement. She knew that he wanted to keep an eye on her.
"I am. I want you to come. I need your help with this one." He said as he took her hands in his and squeezed. He let go of he hands after that.
"Okay. I will go. What do we need to do?" She asked. She was ready to get Connor back so that they could focus on her being one of the Greatest Rangers.
"We need to go downstairs. We need to get the coordinates for the dimension. Let's go." He said he stood up and grabbed her hand to take her downstairs.
Her fearless leader was back in full force. It had been a while since she had seen this side of Tommy. She knew that Zordon was looking down on them and smiling oh him. He was becoming the Ranger that Zordon had chosen to be his White Ranger.

Connor had been pacing for the last half hour. He was tired of waiting for the others. He knew that they should have known he was missing by now. He wasn't sure though. He just wanted to get out so that he could ask Kira to the dance. He knew exactly where he was going to ask.
He would take her to the lake. They both loved it. They did a lot of their thinking there. He would begin fresh picked daisies because that was her favorite flower. He would ask her at sunset. It reminded him of her. He always thought that the sunset was a part of Kira.
He just hoped that Trent was not moving in on his space while he was here. He knew that Trent was mysterious and that girls liked that but then again, Kira was mysterious herself so maybe she didn't like that. He hoped that she liked soccer players that tended to wear Red. He thought that Red and Yellow went together well. He just wanted out of here.
