"Billy!"

"Billy Help!"

"Katherine's in shock!"

"Rocky's been burned!"

"Kim? Tommy? What?" Billy said, looking from one pair to the other before his eyes went sharp, medically evaluating what was happening. Billy began to dig through one of the cabinets. "Kim, start using this medical spray on Rocky's hand. Rocky don't try to open your fingers. Just keep your hand as still as possible." He tossed Kimberly a spray can. "Tommy get Katherine on the medical table. Adam in the third drawer down you will find some empty hot water bottles. Fill them with the hottest water you can stand." Billy commanded, grabbing a few blankets and bringing them over to Tommy. "Here, help me drape these over Katherine. Her core temperature is way too low."

"Ow ow ow..." Rocky mumbled, as Kimberly sprayed his peeling and swollen hand.

"Sorry." Kim whispered over and over. "Really, I'm sorry."

Once he had filled the hot water bottles and given them to Billy to place around Katherine, Adam came over to check on Rocky. "Rocky how did this happen? Did you fall in a camp fire or something?"

Kimberly looked at Adam with tears on her lashes. "It was my fault."

Her slight sobbing drew Tommy's attention from Katherine. "What do you mean your fault Kim?"

Adam took over using the spray on Rocky as Tommy came over. Kimberly was shaking and Tommy pulled her into his arms. He hoped she couldn't smell the gore on his shoes from Katherine house. Kimberly began to gush with emotion. "We were sparing and I some how made fire. A fire attack! Right from my hands! I've never done anything like that before! I couldn't control it at all and I burned Rocky." She sobbed hard against Tommy's strong chest. "I'm sorry Rocky! I'm sorry!"

Rocky's hand was feeling numb now and the pain was subsiding. "Kim its okay. I'm not angry with you. It was an accident. I know that. I shouldn't have pulled my sword on you."

Tommy turned on him, something akin to anger in his eyes. "You pulled your sword on Kim?"

"We were sparring and both morphed Tommy. We were careful." Kim replied, sniffing. "But my power bow didn't come when called and next thing I know I am shooting flames."

"Beautiful you can't be doing things like that. Sparring is dangerous."

Kimberly frowned. "That doesn't sound like the Tommy I know. You always encouraged me to practice more. I have to practice. I can't ignore my powers especially since the upgrade. What if this had happened during a real fight? I could have hurt everyone."

Tommy shook his head about to argue with Kim. As far as he was concerned she was like Billy now. On the side lines for Command Chamber duties. It was the only way he knew he could keep her safe.

Billy interrupted before Tommy could argue. "Katherine's stable now. She should wake up soon. Tommy what happened?" Even as Billy asked, he moved to Rocky taking over his medical care.

Tommy's head dropped, "We found her parents but..."

"Dead?" Adam asked.

Tommy nodded. "More then just dead. Gutted and tortured from the look of it."

Kimberly let out a sob in empathy for Katherine at that and Tommy pulled her once more into a hug. He knew what she was thinking. He had the same thoughts regarding where his parents were. If they were alive.

Billy had just finished applying special crème and wrapping Rocky's hand in gauze when a burning smell filled the room. "My experiment!" Billy shouted, pulling the now charred glass off the burner. Hours completely wasted. He tried not to groan but couldn't help it. "All that work." He mumbled.

"It's not that bad Billy. I'll help you get the beakers cleaned and we can start over after a break." Adam offered.

Billy groaned again but nodded. At least he would have help cleaning up and starting over.

Kimberly pulled out of her boyfriends arms with a quick kiss on his cheek. "Rocky and I should go tell Zordon about what happened. He might have some insight as to my new ability."

"Just... be careful Kim."

Kimberly tilted her head slightly in confusion. She was just going to talk to Zordon. Not try to take on lord Zedd by herself.

Rocky slung his good arm over her shoulders. "Don't worry Tommy. She's got friends here."

Kim smiled up at Rocky, glad to know she was forgiven for burning him.

Tommy watched them go, followed by Adam and Billy with the glassware that needed washing. Billy had asked Tommy to remain with Katherine, just in case. There was a steady beep of a heart rate monitor and a constant checking of her core temperature. It was back to normal and Billy thought that she would wake up soon. A theory that was accurate as a few minutes later Katherine began to stir.

"Kat? Can you hear me?"

Heavy lashes lifted as Katherine mumbled. "T-Tommy?"

"Easy beautiful. I'm here."

Katherine struggled to sit up and Tommy was at her side, helping to support her. "Where are we?" she asked.

"The medial lab. You passed out when we... found your folks."

Katherine went very still for a long moment. So long Tommy was worried she was going to go back into shock. "I remember..." She suddenly sobbed clutching to Tommy with a desperate need.

Tommy held her close, whispering words of comfort, while she cried into his chest. He didn't know how long they sat like that but soon enough Katherine's tears stopped. She looked up at Tommy with those deep blue eyes. They were so deep he felt like he was diving into two pools of crystal blue water. So blue, so beautiful and so very sad and hurting. He wanted to take away that pain. He wanted to see her smile.

To this day he doesn't know which one of them acted first. Tommy's rough lips met Katherine's soft pink ones. A single kiss of comfort quickly became a heated make out session. Tommy's hand was on her breast over her clothes, squeezing gently, before he realized it. Katherine's tongue worked into his mouth passionately. Tommy groaned with pleasure at her taste.

Sudden glass shattering brought Tommy mind back and he pulled harshly away from Katherine, spinning around to the sound.

Billy and Adam stood at the doorway. The glass they had gone to wash laid shattered all around them. Clearly dropped in surprise and shock.

Tommy wasn't sure what was worst. The look of anger on Adam's face or the look of hurt and pain of betrayal on Billy's

Tommy wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "I can explain. It was an accident. Kat and I, we didn't mean to...It was just a in the moment thing. It won't happen again. Right Kat?"

Katherine said nothing but gave a slight nod. She wanted very much for it to happen again but unless Tommy was single, would it be right being the person who broke them up? Wouldn't that make her a bad person?

Tommy turned back to the boys who still hadn't said anything. "So don't tell Kimberly, okay?"

"I don't know Tommy. Kim's our friend. I mean... you'd want to know if she was cheating." Adam said, his face making it very clear what he was referring to. When Tommy cornered him asking about his time as Kim's slave and if they had been intimate.

"Adam has a point. You need to tell Kim." Billy added, unable to hide the hurt in his voice.

Tommy shook his head. "I can't, it would tear the team apart."

Billy frowned, Tommy had a point and a divided team was easily destroyed.

Tommy knew Kimberly would dump him over this. The team would pick sides and everything would be a mess. "So please don't tell Kim."

"Don't tell Kim what?" A familiar female voice spoke walking back into the room with Rocky. "Geez what happened to all the glass?"

"Careful beautiful." Tommy said, instantly swinging Kim up into his arms and over the glass. "Don't want you getting cut." He smiled but there was something off with it. Like it wasn't real.

Tommy felt her brown eyes pierce his soul as she asked again. "Don't tell Kim what?"

Rocky looked around the room. "Fuck..." He mumbled to himself. He knew just by the faces of his friends what must have happened.

Tommy still gave Kim that fake smile. "Nothing beautiful. Just a few plans for a certain someones birthday coming up."

"My birthday isn't for three months Tommy." She gazed into his eyes, there was hurt in them that he was trying hard to hide. She took a step back away from her boyfriend and crinkled her nose. "You're lying to me." it was a statement, not a question.

Tommy chuckled dryly. "Of course not. We were talking about your birthday. Right guys?"

Tommy looked around the room. Katherine nodded, as did Billy, Adam hesitated for a moment but also nodded.

Kimberly took another step back. Closer to Rocky and the door. No one would make eye contact with her. They were all lying to her! Why would her friends lie?

With confusion on her face and sadness in her voice she spoke. "Billy, I command you to tell me what Tommy doesn't want you to tell me."

The collar glowed and Billy told her everything.
