Disclaimer: My first venture into the Power Ranger Fandom. I do not own Power Rangers other than my OC's. There will be slash in here. You get to guess whom! There is also the element of time travel and there will be flashback chapters (just as a warning if things get confusing). Obviously I have no BETA so I apologize for any grammatical mistakes in advance. WARNING: SLASH (BOYXBOY) in this fic. Griffin will be traveling back in time to when the Thunder and Wind Rangers have already become a Team and Cam has already gained his Samurai Powers.

The Ranger mission was not without its perks. The duo of Titanium and Thunder Ninja (in-training) were currently enjoying some well deserved down time. There were a few days between their last stop (Alyssa in Turtle Cove) and the next stop which was who knows where. When Griffin came back he made sure he had the bare essentials and some money. He was just lucky enough to run into whom he needed to find right away, as he knew money would be an issue in the past. He didn't want to be a charity case so he was glad when his father and Dustin had to disappear and he got some time to work on a few bikes. It was not only relaxing, but also profitable.
Griffin had been doing odd jobs around Blue Bay Harbor to earn some cash unbeknownst to others (except for Dustin and Sensei Watanabe). Griffin only felt so right with being provided with so much by Dustin and the others. Hunter felt it was his 'fatherly duty,' while Dustin felt obligated as a Sensei, and Sensei Watanabe as a host.
Our favorite blonde time traveler was only happy that all the menial tasks his father and his other Sensei had him do were finally paying off. A certain blonde Ranger came into mind. A series of degrading acts had paid off in the end, but they were an unorthodox form of training exercises that to this day Griffin hated from the bottom of his broken heart.
The Titanium Ranger did not walk the line like the rest of his teammates. He walked on his own path and was not above using questionable tactics to get a desired result. In this case while Griffin was in the shower before their Turtle Cove excursion he pried into the shorter blonde's backpack and took out an iPod. Griffin knew better than to bring an iPod with him to the past. He had listened to 'classic rock' as a child, some of which had yet to come out at that point, hence him using all his free time doing odd jobs. So while peering through the tracks Ryan had noticed a trend and decided to put his plan in action.
"So Ryan where are we headed again?"
"That's for me to know and for you to find out."
"Whatever dude I'm not going to resort to pouting so I am taking the first shower. And knowing you, it would be better if I only left you cold water" Griffin joked as he grabbed some clothes and headed for the bathroom.
"What kind of thanks is that little Griffy-kins? And after I made sure we got two beds in our room too! And the works. THIS didn't come cheap and Lightspeed isn't going to be reimbursing me anytime soon either."
"You have my eternal thanks 'My Personal Hunky Hero' Griffin said with a wink as he closed the door.
'He is such a tease' Ryan thought as he laid back on 'his' bed. He looked at the ceiling for a few moments before a thought crossed his mind
He whipped out a Blackberry and dialed number.
"Hey it's Ryan Mitchell. You said you owed me a favor a while ago. I think its time I cashed in on it."
A few words came from the other end.
"But you promised."
"There's nothing I can do" came from the other end.
"Dude can't you? Ranger to Ranger?"
"Fine. But the debt is completely repaid."
"I wouldn't have it any other way. I will see you soon. Thanks again."
"Just promise me one thing Ryan if I do this favor."
"Sure, shoot. Anything."
"Stop being a man whore and settle down with someone. It doesn't matter if they have boobs or a dick, just stop moving on from one person to another like it's you're trying to set a record for the Ranger with the most partners."
"That's not even fair. Or even funny!"
"It's a scary thought, but its closer to the truth than you think. Your actions reflect on Lightspeed and Rangers as a whole."
"Fine."
"From what I've heard you're currently with a cutie. I never pictured you with a twink dude, but as long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
"But I…. its not…"
"You don't have to deny it Ryan. I've heard he's quite the catch. I'm sure Dana and your father will be proud of your choice. I have to go dude. Consider my debt repaid."
"Thanks."
"Keep what I said in mind. A little birdie told me about him, and I'm sure you two are a match made in heaven. And a Ranger to boot Ryan. You sure know how to pick them."
Ryan by this time was becoming quite speechless and crimson.
"He's almost done with his shower, I've got to go."
"Are you sure this is not an excuse to join him in there?"
"He doesn't like dudes."
"That's not what a little kitty told me."
"Oh really."
"The kitty told me a lot of interesting things."
"Sure she did."
"Who said the kitty was female."
"I assumed…"
"I won't say anything else or I will have my head chopped off dude."
"Sure."
"Adios fag."
"Ciao bitch."
Ryan ended the call and put his Blackberry back. He had almost forgotten to put the iPod back in place, but he did so in the nick of time before Griffin opened the bathroom door. Clouds of steam came out into the room, surrounding a wet Griffin—a wet bare-chested Griffin only covered by the small towel around his waist.
"Sorry about that Ryan. The water pressure was too good for a quickie. It's been so long since I've had a good shower. I was joking before, but I think I did only leave you with cold water."
"Don't worry dude I think I'll need it." Ryan didn't even want to imagine what Griffin implied by the word quickie,
"Maybe if you're a good boy you'll get to see more" Griffin said heading toward his bag. He bent forward to get a few items out of his bag, exposing his (covered) butt to Ryan's line of sight, causing the Titanium Ranger to flee into the bathroom and jump in the shower at the speed of light.
When Griffin was sure Ryan was showering he removed his towel. Contrary to Ryan's thoughts Griffin was wearing a pair of shorts and boxers under the towel. He whipped out his cell phone and proceeded to dial a number.
'Pick up' Griffin mumbled.
After several rings the person on the other line picked up.
"Hey it's Griff," he said into the phone.
"It's been a while dude."
"I know. I've been busy. A lot of things have come up."
"Don't you mean someone?"
"I've got someone helping me, but it's not like I'm interested in them in any way. They're so not my type."
"That's what MALE Rangers always say. Just because he's also a dude doesn't mean I think of you any less."
"I don't like him or any dude in that way for that matter."
"You can't escape who you are little Griffin!"
"That's not even funny."
"Our time is drawing short. Whit is on her way so be careful. I won't be able to put your cute little face back together if SHE gets to it first."
"My face is the least of my worries. Do you have any leads?"
"I have an idea, but I need to do some research first."
"That's always your excuse."
"Well cub I have to get going."
"Sure thing C. I know you are breaking all kinds of laws and rules, but its nice to hear a familiar voice."
"Don't worry about it cub. It will be over before you know it as long as THEY do not interfere."
"I wish I could be as confident as you."
"When you have a body like me little dude, confidence comes second nature."
"Whatever C, I am sure your flabby ass will be in touch."
"You better believe it dickless."
"Why you…." Griffin began before the individual on the other line disconnected the call.
"Griffy care to join me in here?"
"You wish I would."
"Of course I would, but the water's running cold so make up your mind."
"Maybe next time Ry."
"I will hold you to that" Ryan yelled from the bathroom.
'He's going to be the death of me' thought Griffin as he retrieved the documents from his backpack and went down to work. He had a feeling Chinese Food and Starbucks would be joining them soon. He had no idea how he was able to hear Ryan over the cascading water and through the door, but he had more pressing matters on his mind.
Griffin was snapped out of thoughts by the vibrations of his phone. He had a new text message from a number he did not recognize.

My most youthful pupil,
A little kitty didn't stand a chance against this mighty feline warrior. Sorry about everything, but I had to do something. Don't tell the others yet. I "remember" stuff that hasn't happened yet. I don't know how, but I do.
Sincerely,
Your Loving Sensei
~ Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles ~
Something was not right and Griffin knew it. There was no way that memories could be in the present, but somehow he wasn't surprised. His sensei always marched to the beat of his own drum. Griffin's innocent little phone let him dial his way into the future sort of. In truth Hunter (future one) had several scrolls sealed within the ones for Sensei Watanabe and for Dustin. One such item sealed within the confines was what appeared to be an ordinary clunky phone that anyone got for free on a two-year-contract with a cell phone company. In reality it was a special little do-hickey that a few friends of Hunter had whipped in case of such emergency as this. That and a little Time Force intervention helped to.
Griffin was getting worried he was changing the timelines way too much. He knew it would be inevitable that a few things would change and the very future would shatter in a sense, but he had to go back or there would be no future at all…

Author's Note
Hope this was as funny to you the readers as it was for me. It was an awkward chapter to create, but it was loads of fun.
SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG! FINALS AND DEAR SANTA PLOT BUNNIES ATTACKED! Check out all of my latest work.
If anyone can figure out what anime/ shows I referenced, I'll let you pick who's the next Evil Mythic Ranger to attack next! (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SPHINX AS DUSTIN KICKED HIS ASS IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER!)
If anyone can figure out what Ryan has in store for Griffin (a surprise) then I will let you pick a former Ranger the blonde duo run into. (NO MORE MMPR-TURBO or WILD FORCE).
