Chapter Thirteen:

Kira leaned back, strumming on her guitar, after getting Belford back into his game, life had taken on a normal pace again. She went to school, fought a monster in the afternoon and was home in time for dinner. It was actually getting kind of boring, the monsters themselves didn't really pose a big threat, all though there was a period of like five minutes where they thought that they were going to freeze to death.

She watched as her father stepped out onto the front porch, "Where are you going?"

"Headed to Hayley's," Tommy announced.

"Hayley's will be closed by the time that you get there," Kira pointed out.

"I know, I want to offer Trent a ride home."

"No, you want to interrogate him about his father," Kira stated, "You've been wanting to since I found out that Anton Mercer was his father, and that he was living."

Tommy laughed, "You caught me, just don't tell your mom, she threatened Mercer with bodily harm should anything should happen to me while I was with him, and a threat given by a pink ranger never expires."

"Just be careful and remember your morpher," Kira moaned.

"Geesh, I will have you know that I only ever done that once when I was a green ranger," Tommy protested, holding up his wrist, "See morpher."

"Okay, call if you need anything."

"Honestly, I'm not the Green Ranger anymore." Tommy huffed as he climbed into his car.

Tommy glanced at the rear view mirror, you got to be kidding me, he thought as he saw a gold figure chasing after the jeep.

"Trent," he asked, cursing himself for insisting that he needed answers to Mercer's disappearance, he had put one of his students and danger because of it, stupid Keeper's curse, "Do you see what I see?"

Trent twisted around to look behind them, "Some golden guy running behind us at fifty miles an hour?"

Tommy slammed on his brakes, okay so he wasn't imaging it, and it wasn't a spell to make him think that he was under attack, good to know that it was real. He quickly unbuckled and got out.

"What is that?" Trent asked.

Tommy groaned looking at the cyborg in front of him, "My insurance company is never going to believe this," he said, good thing he had monster insurance on everything, it was necessary in his line of work.

Just then the cyborg jumped up, "Which one of you is Tommy Oliver?"

Tommy rolled his eyes, not this again, you would think the bad guys will learn more about who they are fighting before chasing them down for a fight, this guy was hardly worth answering, he should know which one was Tommy Oliver.

He causally pulled out his phone and hit the send button, sending his location to his emergency contact list, which consisted of his DinoThunder Team, Jason, and his wife, after that was done, he looked up, "Sorry did you ask something, had to let my wife know I would be late for dinner."

"Tommy Oliver?" the Robot asked.

"The one and only," Tommy smirked.

"Prepare to meet your demise," the robot said.

Tommy rolled his shoulders, "Okay you want to go down that road. Have it your way, it's your funeral."

Trent took a step away from him, how could someone being threatened by a robot dude sound so cheerful, like this was some sort of game? With that the robot attacked, and it was obvious that Dr Oliver knew how to fight, and he discovered that he knew how to fight too, some what, he was glad when the power rangers appeared, though he did wonder how the girl knew his name.

Bring bring, Tommy rolled over in bed, for crying out loud it was Saturday, this had better be important.

"This is Dr. Oliver speaking," He said with a yawn.

"I have something I need to show you," Hayley said, "how quick can you get to the Cafe?"

Tommy jumped up and started pulling a pair of pants up, "Be there soon," he said, grabbing his morpher and putting it on his wrist. these were so much easier to hide then the bulky belt buckles that they originally had.

Tommy looked at the notice Hayley had received, Anton Mercer had been a close friend but the way that he sometimes conducted business was an point of disagreement between them. Why in the world would he buy Hayley's Cafe and fire her, just because he wanted Trent to have a management job. The Kid needed experience before he did that.

"I know somebody at city hall, we can look into it and see if he made a mistake somewhere."

"You know my dad long enough to know that he doesn't make mistakes," Trent protested.

"I know your dad long enough to know that he does." Tommy countered.

"You know someone from city hall?" Ethan asked.

"Sort of," Tommy confessed, "One of them owes my sister a favor, and since she lives in the Bermuda Triangle, she told me that I could cash it in for her instead."

"Your sister lives in the Bermuda Triangle?" Ethan asked, "Cool, what does she do there?"

"Sinks ships and cause mysterious disappearances." Tommy deadpanned, he really couldn't answer that question with Trent there.

Kira raced up to her dad, "Hayley told us you were fighting city hall," she gestured to the cyborgs that were attacking, "this makes more sense."

Tommy didn't comment, it was morphing time, he summoned his morpher and... stared at it in horror, how in the world had he managed to do this? he would never live this down, never. Beautiful, you don't mind bring my morpher to me at city hall do you? It's on my nightstand?

You forgot your morpher, again?

Not exactly, Tommy said, sending her a picture on what was on his wrist, Kim burst out laughing.

"Something wrong Dad?" Kira asked, shoot the others had already morphed.

"No," Tommy said, "Just minor technical problems."

Kira smirked, "Is that your Zeo..." she suddenly burst out laughing, "You grabbed the wrong morpher?"

A/N: Come on Tommy, the wrong morpher. Sorry, just seemed like something he would do.
