Chapter 10: Adoption and Scars on Green Part 1

Flashback

An woman is in a hospital bed as she just had a procedure done. She notices her son and daughter in law walking in the room to visit her. "Leo, Sleha , it is nice to see you both". The woman said to them as her family is visiting her.

Leo looks at his mom as they nod to each other. "Mom, you know how Sleha and I are having difficulty with getting pregnant for the past few years". Leo said to the woman.

The woman nods as she looks at them. "Yes I do know. It is not as easy like other women but with persistence a child will come no matter they come out naturally or adopting". The woman said to them.

Leo nods as he looks at his mother. "Yes, Sleha and I are going to adopt a child". Leo said to his mother.

The woman looks at them as she smiles to them. "That is wonderful news did the adoption agency called you saying that you have been matched with a birth mother again. It has been a while since the birth mother changed her mind about the baby girl". The woman said to them.

Sleha shakes her head as it is a bit different this time. "The adoption agency did call us, but there is a special circumstances with this child". Sleha said to the woman.

The woman looks at them as she is wondering what it could be. "What is it, is the baby born with special needs like Down syndrome"? The woman asks them.

Leo and Sleha shake their heads to the woman. "It is nothing like that". Sleha said to the woman.

The woman is stunned by it as she thinks of another logical explanation. "Was this baby came from a broken home and got removed from the care of his biological parents"? The woman asks them.

Leo and Sleha shake their heads to the woman. "It is far worse than that. You see this baby boy we are going to adopt is one of the eight babies that was rescued from a building in town that were experimented on and treated like Guinea pigs and has a test subject on their arms and feet, mom. They all deserve to have happy homes". Leo said to the woman.

The woman looks at them as it is nothing that she could have ever expected. "You mean this baby is one of the eight babies that has been talked about on the news. There were married couples, young pregnant women, and the sweet innocent 7 year old girl that got rescued out of that forsaken building. That vicious animal that was behind of this beyond heinous crime got arrested for it. Bless all of their hearts, is there any way I could see them". The woman said to them.

Sleha and Leo nod as they take to her doctor. They wheeled the woman to a special nursery. In the special nursery, nurses and volunteers are taking care of the babies. "All of them were in that building". The woman said to them as she is crying.

Leo nods to his mother as he looks at them. "Yes see the little boy in the green onesie. That is the baby boy that we are going to adopt". Leo said to the woman.

The woman has a smile on her face. "There is one thing I do ask of you both". The woman said to them.

Sleha and Leo nod to the woman. "What is it"? Sleha asks the woman. She is wondering what it is going to be.

The woman looks at them as her request is simple. "Name him Harry after my adoptive father". The woman said to them.

Leo and Sleha look at the woman as they are surprised by it. "Mom, were you adopted"? Leo asks the woman.

The woman nods as she has been carrying a secret from her husband and her family for a very long time. "Yes you see I was adopted as a baby. When I learned the truth about my birth parents, they were very cruel people that abused my biological siblings. We were separated. I tried to find them when I was an adult. I only come to find out that they are drug addicts and in prison for multiple times, and they had children that were taken out from their homes. When your father and I were married, I wanted to adopt children. He was against it and said that I want children with my blood. I could not tell him the truth about my birth parents and my adoption. I am glad that the adoption will continue". The woman said to them.

Leo and Sleha are very surprised to learn the truth. "Dad never knew that you were adopted and carried that secret for over 30 years". Leo said to the woman.

The woman nods as she has a letter for Jerry. "Yes when you two decide to tell your son the truth, I want you two to hand this letter to your father". The woman said to them.

Leo and Sleha nod to the woman. The three of them watch little Harry from the window. "If I don't get to see you grow up, I promise I will watch over you from heaven". The woman said to baby Harry.

End Flashback

Back at the castle, Xolicernic looks on the monitors as he is wondering what ever happened to his prisoners from 5 years ago. As he is about to leave, an small alert appears as the words DSDS arrives in Aurora Cove. "Well, well, well, one of my former prisoners is in that town. This will be an interesting day. Dr. Eelmore". Xolicernic said as he needs Dr. Eelmore.

Dr. Eelmore looks at Xolicernic as he bows to him. "What can I do for you Master Wizard Xolicernic"? Dr. Eelmore asks Xolicernic.

Xolicernic looks at Dr. Eelmore. "Do you have a speciality monster where it can pull out haunting memories as power to inflict pain on the rangers"? Xolicernic asks Dr. Eelmore.

Dr. Eelmore is intrigued by Xolicernic's request. "I do have a monster in mind why do you ask"? Dr. Eelmore asks Xolicernic.

Xolicernic has an evil grin on his face. "It seems that one of my old prisoners is in that human town. He is a descendant of a ranger from the past". Xolicernic said to Dr. Eelmore.

Dr. Eelmore is very intrigued by this as he looks at Xolicernic. "He is a descendant of a ranger from the past. He should have been a potential test subject of mine. He is not like my precious test subject #0001, but still a potential test subject". Dr. Eelmore said to Xolicernic.

Dr. Eelmore went to the various monsters as he spots the monster. "Jacktrel", Dr. Eelmore said to the monster called Jacktrel.

Jacktrel is an Egyptian style jackal monster as it has a staff with movie reel on it. "I am at your service master". Jacktrel said to them.

Xolicernic looks at the monster as he is some what intrigued by it. "I want you to destroy the rangers and target this boy. When you go to them, tell them that Xolicernic is back". Xolicernic said to Jacktrel.

Jacktrel nods to Xolicernic as it receives his orders. He gets the full logistics of who to target. "I will complete my missions and the message has been sent". Jacktrel said to them as it leaves the Castle.

That morning, Harry is getting ready to go to school. He notices his grandfather and his dad are having a heated discussion. It has always been about him and adopting him as a baby. "You should try to have another biological child with Selah, son. I just want one grandson with my blood not a boy with unknown blood". The grandfather said to Leo.

Leo looks at his father as shakes his head. "There is no guarantees with getting pregnant, dad. Plus Selah had a very difficult pregnancy with Sofia as is. The doctors said if Selah got pregnant again, the baby wouldn't make it to full term". Leo said to Jerry.

Jerry is being dense about it. "Doctors can always be wrong just like with that procedure that your mother had just before you and Selah adopted that devil of a son". Jerry said to Leo.

Leo glares at Jerry as he is attacking at Harry. "You are still harboring the blame on him for mom's death. He was an innocent baby who has been through far worse than you could ever imagine. Plus she has been ill for a short time before Harry was even conceived by his birth parents". Leo said to Jerry.

Harry sighs as he hears all of it. He leaves the house out from the back way. He is not sure how he is going to explain it to his friends. Plus he noticed a scar that he rarely looked at on his arm. He can't open up to the others.

Just as he gets to the school, he is stunned to learn that a group of seniors clogged all the toilets in the schools restroom and stink bombed all the classrooms including the principal's office. The school is closed to fix the problems.

Harry sighs as he has a day off and it's not a teacher's work day. He decides to head towards the park as he has nothing else to do today.

As he is walking around the park, Harry could not help but noticing a young man crying as he is sitting down on the ground. The young man looks like he is really upset about something. However Harry has a strange feeling that he should help him. He walks over to the young man. "Hey are you alright? My name is Harry". Harry asks the young man as he introduces himself to the young man.

The young man looks at Harry as he is not exactly in a talking mood. "Please, I want to be alone. Should you be at school? ". The young man said to Harry.

"Perhaps you should listen to him Wes". Another young man said to them. He looks at them as he has a compassionate look on his face, and he is also wearing a green cladded outfit.

The young man reveals to be Wes turns as he sees a familiar face to him. "Monty, what are you doing here"? Wes asks Monty.

The young man revealed to be Monty looks at Wes. Harry is surprised by it. "Woah how do you two know each other"? Harry asks them.

Monty looks at Harry as he realizes that introductions are needed. "My name is Monty McFarland. You have already know my brother and my girlfriend Melissa. Plus when Ryder told me that Rory and Melissa are mentors, I had to come up here and see what the fuss is about". Monty said to them.

Wes is deeply surprised by it. "Rory and Melissa are mentors now". Wes said to Monty. He has no clue about it.

Monty nods as he looks at Wes and Harry. "Ok what's going on with the both of you". Monty said to them.

Harry looks at Monty as he is not ready to open up especially about his personal life. "I don't want to talk about my personal life". Harry said to Monty.

Wes nods in agreement as he looks at them. "I just don't want to talk about it". Wes said to Monty.

Monty looks at them as he shakes his head. "Sometimes you have to open up about things that are going in your life even if you don't want to. It does include about things from your personal life and past. It is what letting others in is what about especially in a ranger team". Monty said to them.

Harry looks at Monty as he shrugs to him. "Even though you have trust issues with others". Harry said to Monty.

Wes and Monty turn to Harry as they realize that Harry has trust issues. "You have trust issues". Wes said to Harry.

Harry nods as he looks at Wes. "The thing is I used to be a very open person before I was betrayed by my former best friend. Now I have to watch who I can tell stuff too especially now". Harry said to them.

Monty looks at Harry as he is wondering about it. "What do you mean by that"? Monty asks Harry.

Harry sighs as he looks at them. "I am actually adopted and the longest time I rarely pay attention to this scar I have since I was a baby. It is like someone had twisted plans to treat me like a lab rat". Harry said to them as he has a solemn expression on his face.

Wes is stunned by that as he looks at Harry. "Hold on, you are adopted and you have a strange scar as well". Wes said to Harry.

Harry nods as he looks at Wes. "Yeah I am actually adopted. This is my scar of mine. It has TS#2964 on it. It is also on my foot as well. I never paid attention growing up. The only times I look at it is when I overhear my dad and my grandfather arguing about my adoption". Harry said to Wes as he shows the scar to him.

Wes is very surprised by it as he thought he is one of the few people who has a strange scar. "I am actually adopted as well, and I also have a scar with a harsh back story. When I look at it, it brought back bad memories. I had to live with what happened". Wes said to Harry as he showed his scar to him that was his chest.

Harry looks at the scar as he winced at it. "That is a sick and twisted scar. There is not a better word to describe it. Plus you must have been through extreme hell". Harry said to Wes. Wes nods as he looks at them.

Monty nods as he looks at Wes. "Wes, we were worried about you after those events five years ago. Plus Rory and I wanted to be there for you when your dad died a few months ago. I know Rory told me that he wanted to give you some space. At the same time, Rory and I had to attend our grandfather's funeral that was on the same day a few months ago". Monty said to Wes.

Wes is stunned as he did not know. "Oh man, I am so sorry". Wes said to Monty. He never knew that even happened. What they don't realize that a monster and Rampigs are about to attack.
