**A/N As always, please review I love getting them! I don't own the Power Rangers**

NATALIE

Natalie screamed as Goldar's claw tore into her stomach. She pulled away but was immediately drug back to him. Goldar leaned down whispering into her ear. "You're ours now". Natalie screamed again, wishing and hoping that death would be soon.

"NATALIE, come on beautiful, wake up!" Tommy said, shaking Natalie gently. She sat up quickly, her breathing shallow and rapid. Tommy put his arm around her, causing her to jump and pull away on instinct. She looked at him, and saw the hurt in his eyes, and immediately laid her head on his chest, wrapping her arms around him. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Tommy. I'm sorry." She said as she began crying. Tommy shh'ed her gently, telling her she had nothing to be sorry about. He looked up to see the other rangers at the door, looking concerned. He mouthed "it's ok," to the others, who nodded and walked away slowly. I'm a joke. Natalie thought to herself. I can't even function anymore. I have to do something, I can't just stay like this she stopped crying and looked at Tommy. "Maybe I should just sleep in my room, so I don't wake you up." She suggested.

Tommy shook his head vigorously as he pulled her on his lap. "No way. I won't sleep at all if you aren't with me." They sat for a while, before Natalie looked up and kissed Tommy softly, but passionately on his lips. He was surprised, but immediately returned her affection, running his hands through her hair as they kissed. "I love you." he said when they pulled apart.

"I love you Handsome."

KIM

Kim and Jason both went back to their room, Jason pulled Kim into his arms protectively when they got back into bed. "I love you so much Kimmie." He said, kissing her head. Kim smiled. "I love you Jase." They laid together enjoying their closeness, then finally Kim spoke again. "I'm going to see if Nattie wants to go do something tomorrow. Maybe getting out of the house will help a little, especially since Tommy is working." Jason smiled at his girlfriend. "That sounds like a great idea." he responded.

The next day Kim got up and was surprised to see Natalie in the backyard, doing simple tai chi moves. She walked out and watched her for a minute. The fact that she was wearing long sleeves and pants in the summer, meant that she still had some wounds that hadn't healed yet. Kim felt guilty, the rangers had been spoiled since Natalie came, she would always heal them immediately, but they couldn't do the same for her. "Nattie!" Kim said. Natalie opened her eyes and looked at Kim.

"Yes?" She said, still holding a pose.

"Do you wanna go get some lunch and go to the mall or something today?" Kim asked with slight hesitation.

"I don't know Kimber..." Natalie began.

"It'll be fun! I'm sure Trini will come too! Please?" Kim said slightly whining.

"OK, let me shower first though."

"Alright! I'll text Trini." Kim said. The girls headed upstairs to get ready. Kim finished and went downstairs, but only saw Trini. "Where's Natalie?" Kim asked her. Trini shrugged. "I figured she was with you getting ready." No one ever takes longer than I do getting ready Kim thought to herself. She went to Natalie's room and knocked on the door as she opened the door, closing it behind her. Tears sprang to her eyes as she saw Natalie standing in front of her mirror in her bra staring. The cuts and bruises were fading, but still looked painful. Natalie wasn't crying, and Kim didn't want her to start, so she quickly blinked back her own tears before going over to her friend. "Hey, I won, I got ready first!" Kim said trying to keep the mood light. That was lame. Natalie looked at Kim.

"I'm sorry, I... got distracted" She said to her as she went to the closet pulling out a three quarter's sleeve shirt and putting it on quickly, trying to hide her wince of pain from Kim. "Let's go."

Kim, Trini and Natalie walked out of the mall with some serious retail therapy and started to cross the large parking lot to their car. "I guess we stayed longer than we thought!" Kim said as they looked at the empty lots. They were halfway to the car when they were surrounded by putties. "Are you kidding me?" Trini said dropping her bags. Kim and Natalie followed suit.

Kim glanced at Natalie as they began to fight. "Are you OK?"

"Never better!" She said landing a strong punch. She really did look never better Kim noticed. She seemed to be channeling all her pain, hurt, rage, into kicking some serious putty ass. They defeated them after about half an hour. The girls looked at each other, sweaty, out of breath, and disheveled. Natalie started laughing at her teammates appearance, causing them to laugh too. "We look ridiculous" Natalie said between laughs. The girls picked up their bags and headed home.

ADAM

The guys all looked at the door as Kim, Natalie, and Trini walked in, all laughing and smiling, but looking like hell. "What happened?" Jason said, jumping up as did Tommy and Adam.

Natalie spoke first "We're fine, had a visit from a couple of putties, but they were no problem." with a genuine smile on her face. Tommy couldn't help but smile at her, putting his arm around her.

"Why didn't you call us?" Jason asked Kim.

"We didn't need help. We would have called if we did." Kim said, starting to get slightly annoyed. Natalie whispered something to Tommy, who immediately took her hand and took her upstairs. Adam looked at Trini who shrugged in response. He took her hand and they sat on the couch as Trini recounted the day.

TOMMY

Tommy watched Natalie slowly get undressed as she turned on the shower. He looked her over, her injuries were practically non existent now. He pulled his shirt off and walked over to her. She wrapped her arms around him, kissing his chest and laying her cheek on it. He kissed the top of her head then let go of her to get undressed, stepping into the shower with Natalie. They finished showering and toweled off, when Natalie turned to Tommy. She kissed his neck, and nibbled on it causing chills to run through him.

"I want to feel beautiful again, Tommy. Make me feel beautiful..." She whispered in his ear. He began running his hands slowly up and down her back, kissing her, feeling her tongue against his. Their towels dropped as he pulled her against him, kissing her neck as she leaned her head back. He picked her up and laid her gently on his bed, stopping to look at her before turning his attention to her chest. She moaned softly causing him to feel himself harden even more. He ran his hand down her side, resting on her core. She spread her legs just slightly as he ran a finger along her slit, surprised at how wet she was. "I want you Handsome." she gasped. He positioned himself over her and gently entered her. She bucked her hips to meet him, gasping as he entered her. They made love slowly and lovingly, whispering feelings of love to each other. They finished together, kissing passionately as they came. Tommy smiled, happy that he was seeing his normal Natalie again.

Later that night, Tommy woke up to Natalie's screams as she slept again. He woke her up and held her, realizing that they still had a while to go before she was healed again.
