Wes was lying on the cold ground unconscious, he had been for sometime. Jen had found some clothing and used it as a pillow for Wes's head. She placed a wet wash cloth on his forehead where she had hit him with the bat. Wes slowly began moving his head and moaning lightly. Jen paused looking at his face. She saw his eyes slowly begin to open.
Wes's vision was blurry at first, but it came too. He saw a young woman staring down at him, he knew that face. "Jen?" he said softly, starting to push himself up. Jen pushed Wes back down to the ground, lightly.
"Easy Wes," she said as she rubbed his head lightly with her hand. Wes winced when she ran her finger across where he had a good sized bump. The bat had left a nice imprint on his head.
"I have an enormous headache," said Wes softly. Jen turned and grabbed a bottle of water and a container of pills.
"Here," she said as she helped him sit up, in her lap. Jen opened the container of pills and took a couple out. "Open up," she said. Wes opened his mouth and Jen placed the pills in his mouth. She then grabbed the bottle of water to help the pills go down, she reached up to his mouth and helped him drink the water. Once he was finished Jen put the water bottle down, she then put her arms around him. For a moment she just held him, happy to know he was alive and with her. Wes looked over at his leg that had been shot. He smiled when he saw it was wrapped up, Jen probably had taken care of it for him, when he was knocked out cold. "Sorry I hit you with the bat," said Jen softly, if she had known it was him she never would have whacked him in the head.
"I think I can forgive you," a few moments passed. Wes turned his head slightly looking into Jen's face, with concern. "Jen, is my….." Jen cut him off.
"He's fine, Lucas and the others got here today," said Jen. Wes smiled briefly nodding his head, then leaning it back against Jen's shoulder.
"That's good. Did Alex come with them?" asked Wes. Tears began to fall from Jen's eyes; Wes could hear her crying softly. He scooted himself around until he was facing her he quickly put his arms around her, he knew then something had happened. "It's okay Jen, everything is going to be okay I promise," said Wes kindly. Jen pulled back looking at him with tears in her eyes. The last time he made a promise, he never came back. They all had thought he had been dead for two months.
"Do you remember the last time you made a promise," Wes looked at her sadly. Now realizing just how bad she had been hurting over the last two months, he felt partly responsible for her pain.
"I'm sorry about that, really. In the explosion I got separated from the others. Then I was captured, I just escaped today. I also found out their weakness," said Wes running his hand through her hair, trying to ease her pain. Jen grabbed his hand holding it in her hands tightly.
"We know light. Carter contacted us," she said softly. For a long moment the two just stared each other in the eyes, smiling glad to be with each other. Slowly Wes lay down taking Jen with him. The two lay on the cold ground holding onto each other to keep warm, through the night. "I love you Wes. I so glad that you're okay, I thought I had lost you," said Jen. Tears shined in her eyes, she had been hurting a lot more then she had led anyone else to believe. And Wes could see that, Jen always did hold everything in.
"I love you too Jen," said Wes softly, he then kissed her lightly. Knowing they both needed this, just time to hold and kiss each other. They could talk later. Soon the two were asleep in each others arms.
It was late out in the basement of the fire station everyone was asleep except for Carter and Dana. The two were checking over the last few flashlights making sure they all had full power. Carter had one in his hands he turned it on and saw it had enough power. "Alright this one is all set," said Carter handing her over the flash light. Dana took it and set it down with the other flash lights.
"Good were going to need all the help we can get," said Dana, as she checked over the last two flash light. Carter turned around seeing the others fast asleep. For the last day they had collected up as many flashlights as they could. He smiled watching his friends sleep peacefully. Joel and Angela were cuddled close on the floor. Ryan was fast to sleep on the couch. Captain Mitchell had fallen asleep on a chair, Kelsey was asleep in the other chair, and Chad had fallen asleep leaning against the wall. "They all look cute, don't they?" said Dana smiling, as she walked up behind Carter.
"Yeah that sure do," he smiled. Carter turned around looking Dana in the eyes he took a deep breath. "Dana can I ask you something?" asked Carter.
"Yeah, you know you can ask me anything," said Dana kindly. Carter nodded his head lightly.
"I know we haven't really been dating that long and I'm not sure what's going to happen with this battle. But the one thing I'm sure of is. I can't see myself with anyone else. So if by some miracle, that we win this fight. Will you merry me someday?" he asked. Dana smiled back at him and put her arms around him.
"Of course, I love you Carter," said Dana. Carter smiled he slowly put his arms around her.
"I love you, too" said Carter as he kissed her softly on the lips.
It was silent in the command center, Jason and the others had made it back in one piece. They were all standing around by the computer updating the ranger's weapons, so that they were equipped with a light source. "Man, do I wish Billy were here. He would have this figured out in no time," said Zack, as Jason and he looked over the readings.
"I am sorry I am not able to assist you further rangers," said Zola.
"That's alright Zola, will figure it out," said Jason as he read through the readings.
"Do, you think that Billy is okay and Aquatar? What if something happened to them?" asked Kat she was leaning against a wall next to the girls.
"I'm sure he's alright. He has to be right?" asked Tonya looking at the girls. They all had unsure looks on their faces. Concerned about their old friend, wondering how this was affecting him and Aquatar. Kimberly wasn't paying much attention she was looking over at Tommy, who hadn't been around much through the day. He had been keeping his distance from everyone. She knew something was wrong, but didn't know what it was.
"Your worried about him aren't you?" asked Aisha seeing the fear and worry in Kim's eyes. Kat and Tonya looked over at Tommy. He had his back to all of them. He looked to be in deep thought, as if he had a lot on his mind.
"Has he said anything," asked Kat. Kim shook her head.
"No, nothing. I don't know what's wrong. He's been like this ever sense he disappeared in the morning," said Kim softly.
"Maybe he's just worried about what's going to happen," said Tonya knowing that they were all worried about that.
"Man I don't understand this. Do you Jason?" asked Zack getting fed up with reading the papers. None of it made sense to him at all. Jason grabbed the sheet from Zack. Jason looked at it and felt like the whole room was spinning around. He could read or understand, either. Rocky and Adam who were leaning against another wall just laughed at the two.
"Think I should go, help them?" asked Adam looking at Rocky. Rocky laughed lightly.
"I think if you don't, both of their head's will explode," said Rocky. Adam nodded his head. He hit Rocky on the arm before making his way over to Jason and Zach both, who were still trying to make sense of the read out.
"Let me see that," said Adam taking the sheet away from the two. Adam looked over it for a few seconds nodded his head, making a few comments here and there. He looked over the computers panel. "Ah here we go," said Adam. He then typed into the computer. The scanner and transformation began running. They all looked up on the screen and watched as their weapon were all equipped with a light source.
"You were able to understand that?" asked Zack, not knowing how in the world anyone could make any since of that. Adam turned around nodding his head.
"Yeah, who do you think took over when Billy left?" said Adam giving a smile.
"Wait! You mean to tell me you knew how to work this thing the whole time and you never said anything," said Jason almost yelling.
"You never asked," said Adam, grinning. By now the other had joined around their friends smiling and laughing. It was probably the first time all of them had laughed since this whole thing happened. Jason and Zack were about to respond until Tommy spoke up.
"Guys," he was now standing before them. They all turned around, they could see he had been struggling. "There's something I have to tell you," said Tommy being very serious. He looked them all deeply in their eyes. Kim's heart began to race and she looked deeper into Tommy's eyes and knew that whatever he had to tell them was not good news.
