Xander and Adam didn't meet each other's eyes as Xander drove, trying to pick up a faint signal from his Turbo Navigator. And the fact was driving Alex figuratively up the wall.
[Just speak!]
[No.] Justin replied stubbornly. [It was a one-night stand, that's all.]
[Oh Pul-leez.] Alex grumbled. [I won't believe that.]
[Really!]
[Oh, and sure. All those wet dreams you had from seeing Adam in his Ranger suit were normal.]
Justin blushed. [It could have been Tommy.]
Alex rolled his eyes. [He's with Kat. You wouldn't look at him. That's also why you grew attached to Rocky, kind of.]
[Shut up!] Justin yelled.
Alex grew silent, but he just said one more thing before he retreated. [You're just scared because you know you are about 6 years younger than him.]
Justin blatantly ignored him as Xander continued driving.
"Uh, Justin?" Adam asked, almost shyly.
Xander didn't take his eyes off the road. "It's Xander."
"Xander?"
"I go by Xander now." He turned to the other man. "It's Xander."
"Okay Jus-Xander. Do you want to talk about it?"
Xander didn't take his eyes off the road, though Adam seemed to know that the man was holding back tears. "We were horny and we had sex. That's it." In his mind, Justin whispered. [I wish it was more though.]
[I knew it!] Alex shouted triumphantly.
[Scream a little louder and they'll hear you in Spain.] Justin retorted dryly.
[Yeah well, you're being a prick.] Alex paused. [I did not just quote Spike, did I?]
[Nah.] Justin responded cheerfully. Alex breathed a sigh of relief. [You quoted Giles.] He choked.
"J-Xander?" Adam asked.
"Yeah?" Xander replied.
"There's a Yellow Power nearby. The only one that should be here is Tanya's." Adam answered.
He blinked in surprise. There was a flashing yellow dot.
"Can you check it?"
Adam nodded as he fiddled with the device. "It seems to be coming from LA."
Xander nodded. "That's a few days away."
"We're going to be driving all night?"
The Blue Ranger rolled his eyes. "Yeah. We are. No really... We're stopping every night."
"Okay." Adam didn't speak further.
For the next couple of days, the two talked only minimally. Able to get rooms that had two beds, the two were able to avoid any unnecessary confrontations, but Adam was almost seeking out Xander at night. That is, until it was the last day of their trip.
"One bed?" Xander deadpanned.
"I'm sorry sir, but the only room we have available has only one bed." The teen said with a tone of truthfulness.
Adam intervened before Xander could start to chew out the teen. "We'll take it."
Xander slanted a glare, but the effect was softened with Alex's intervention.
"Fine." He went to the room, but the teen held onto Adam's shoulder for a moment.
"Go get 'em tiger." He winked, to which Adam flushed. "There's actually one more double-bedder here, but I can tell that you want him."
"Thanks." Adam smiled.
"Takeru!" A male voice called. "Come here!"
The boy, Takeru, winked once more and mouthed 'boyfriend'. "Coming Iori!"
Takeru skipped away, a smile on his face as Adam turned.
He followed Xander to their room, in which Xander was already taking a shower. Adam started changing, taking off is regular clothing and putting on his pajamas. His green shirt and blue boxers were slightly wrinkled, but he didn't care. Adam curled up on the bed and fell asleep.
[He's so handsome.] Justin sighed.
[You're scared because of the age distance, aren't you?] Alex's voice was sympathetic.
Justin nodded. [How could I not be? We're so far apart.]
[Neither age nor gender matters in love.] Alex quoted.
The thirteen-year-old agreed. He lay next to Adam and fell asleep.
The thing that woke Adam was Xander thrusting against his back, moaning a name.
He watched, eyes wide as Xander fondled himself through his boxers, where a prominent bulge was. The hard appendage was thrusting against his butt and Adam was horrified to find that he was responding to it. With a final scream of Adam's name, Xander came. As he panted softly from the exertion, he opened his eyes, only to stare into Adam's brown ones.
"Shit."
Xander scrambled out of bed and locked himself in the bathroom, cursing under his breath. Unknowingly, he coated the door with a barrier as he started breathing deeply to try to calm his racing heart.
"Justin?" Adam asked softly, tapping against the door. His jerked his hand back when electricity raced across it. "Justin?"
Xander merely whimpered.
[Justin!] Alex yelled.
The thirteen-year-old consciousness wasn't answering and Alex couldn't feel the boy anymore, which scared him.
[Please come out Justin.] Alex pleaded, feeling tears prickling his eyes.
"Justin." Adam whispered softly, placing his hand on the door. The barrier faded and the door became unlocked. With soft motions, he entered the bathroom, where Xander had curled up in a ball, still in his soiled boxers. "Justin... "He knelt, bringing the other man into his arms.
Tears slipped down Xander's face, soaking Adam's shirt, but the Green Ranger held on tight, muttering soothing words. "You don't have to worry, I'm not mad."
The part that was Justin, underneath the genius exterior, underneath the Power interior and the demon fighter, started to cry hard. "I'm so sorry Adam. I can't help what I feel. I really can't."
"What feelings?" Adam questioned softly as he rubbed circles on the man's back, like he used to do for Justin.
Xander turned his head, staring deep into Adam's eyes. "I love you... Even if you're 6 years older than me... I can't help but love you." He leaned forward and kissed Adam. The touch was feather soft, the kind a first kiss would be. Adam closed his eyes and savored the kiss and was feeling desperately lost after the touch disappeared.
With eyes full of pain and sorrow, Xander pulled away. "I need to change."
Adam started at the sudden change of tone the other man had. "Justin?"
"Please, I really need to change."
Nodding, the Green Ranger left, tall body sliding out of the room.
With a choked sob, Xander locked the door and fell against it.
[Justin?] Alex asked tentatively.
[Why did I do it?] Justin sobbed lightly. [Why did I do it? It's not my job to angst over everything - that's Tommy's job. But why did I give in?]
[You deserve this more than anyone. You've been at this before you really understood it, before you were even out of childhood. You deserve this love more than anyone.] Alex spoke.
[But...] Xander took off his shirt and pants. [Scars... Too many scars. Too many times hurt...]
[He won't care.] Alex comforted. [Adam loves you as well.]
[Please, don't say that.] He whimpered quietly.
[Shhh... Just look deep in yourself and you know that this is right.] Alex grimaced. [I sound cheesy, don't I?]
[Thank you.]
Xander grimaced as he changed. Alex still was getting used to being in control again. After slipping on a clean pair of boxers, he slid next to Adam and fell asleep.
* * * * * * *
The two continued to travel, interacting a bit more now.
"Yeah, I remember that." Xander grinned.
"When Tommy heard about what had happened, he was so mad." Adam tapered off, chuckling.
"What do you think will happen to this world when Tempus's spell is released?" Xander almost lay back wistfully.
"That's an interesting question." Adam paused, Korean face drawing into a thought-mode. Robert had a full life, but he broke all ties and if Robert had to go back... "Well, either this dimension ceases to exist or we become separate. Either way, we won't know."
Xander reclined. "We're at LA."
"The signal's strong." Adam nodded. "I have a bad feeling about this place."
Xander agreed. "There's something off. It's LA though. What could be here?"
The two managed to find a small hotel. It was okay, nothing fancy, but there and safe.
They then walked outside with Xander fingering his cross necklace.
"Where to?" Xander asked.
Adam was fiddling with the Turbo Navigator. "Well, I have a town map."
Xander gestured forward. "Lead on."
Adam and Xander walked forward, bodies very tense, as if expecting an attack.
They got what they were looking for.
Three... things suddenly sprang out of nowhere, knocking Adam aside. Xander quickly tucked into a ball and rolled, avoiding the large claw of one of them. As he came up, Xander twisted his wrist, summoning his key out of nowhere. "Shift into Turbo!" In a flash of blue light, his body was covered in tight blue spandex and a helmet resembling a car came over his forehead. Quickly, he drew his Turbo Hand Blasters, car mufflers designed as lasers, and started firing off an array of blasts. The attacks only stunned the demons as Adam jumped away, twisting his wrist. "Shift into Turbo!" In a flash of green light, Adam turned into the Green Ranger.
Quickly, the man drew his sword and used his enhanced strength to jump high into the air, slicing down with his Turbo Sword. The demon dodged, but Blue Ranger was there with his own sword and ran the blue scaly demon through. Green Ranger came down and sliced the creature in half. As that demon exploded into slime from his attack, Green Ranger had drawn a large cannon, which he used to fire emerald energy lasers. The two demons left fell back at it as Blue Ranger swung forward and tried to gut another enemy. The demon blocked as Blue Ranger took to dancing deadly with it; Green Ranger taking the other. Blue Ranger continued to do so, sword against claw as the man tried to gain the upper hand. Justin took over in one overhead slash and was gone the next instant, Xander burying the sword into what passed for the demon's neck. They switched again as Justin turned the cut into a downwards slash that split the monster down the middle. As that one died, Blue Ranger turned, only to be punched in the chest by the last demon's claw. The power was immense, stronger than practically anything he ever fought morphed. The mere punch forcibly made him demorph from pain overload as he flew back twenty feet. Xander could already see Adam next to him, unmorphed just as he. Right when Adam was about to call for backup, another figure exploded out of the stacked plastic crates. That figure swung his or her sword in a complicated maneuver that almost succeeded, but it didn't cut deep enough. A crossbow bolt shot out of no where and embedded itself into the demon's eyes, allowing the other figure to finish his or her job and made the demon explode.
Frantic beeping filled the area as Xander, Adam, and the figure looked over at the handheld machine dropped in the fight. As the figure turned, Xander dashed over and grabbed the device. He glared at the screen, which held three signatures of Power and nothing else - not a sign of life.
"Who are you?" Adam beat Xander to the punch, his tone frosty.
Two people entered the light, causing Xander to drop the Turbo Navigator, which one of them picked up instantly.
"Deadboy?" Xander croaked.
The figure with the sword snapped his head up. "Xander?"
The other figure with the crossbow had picked up the Turbo Navigator. "What is this?"
"Cordy?" Xander whipped around. "Don't touch that!"
With a shriek, Cordelia dropped the device, yellow light flaring around her.
"What did you do to her?" Angel growled as he grabbed Adam's shirt and lifted the other man off the ground.
"Lay off the boyfriend!" Xander yelled as he shoved a cross into Angel's face, burning the vampire and forcing him back.
Adam fell to the ground gasping. "Yellow Power..." He managed to choke out in a whisper.
The Blue Ranger turned to Cordelia, who was unconscious on the ground. "Cordy's probably meeting Tanya right now. You have a place to stay Deadboy?"
"Yeah." Angel breathed deeply. "You're explaining everything, and I mean everything, to me when we get there though."
[You wanna take this Alex?] Justin asked.
[It's your forte.] The other consciousness smirked.
Groaning, Justin returned to control. He was startled by a cool hand on his arm.
"Justin?" Adam asked quietly.
"Yeah Adam?" Xander replied.
"What's going on?"
"I..." He shifted his eyes. "can't tell you just yet. Everything will come out soon, so just be patient." Xander walked briskly away as he followed Angel, who had Cordelia in his grasp. Adam followed, pain in his eyes.
* * * * * * *
When Doyle saw the two enter, he raised an eyebrow. "These two the ones in the vision?"
"Oh yeah." Angel nodded.
"What happened to her?" He gestured to the unconscious Cordelia.
Angel grimaced. "Xander here, or whoever you are, is going to explain just what happened."
"Really now?" Doyle turned to the brown-haired man. "Ye know what happened to her?"
"Yeah, I do." Xander nodded, gripping Adam's hand for support. "Cordy's the reborn body of my friend after a spell from a demon called Tempus sent me and four friends."
Doyle whistled. "The Power That Be ain't gonna like this."
"No kidding." Xander groaned as he sat down heavily.
"Now, start explainin'." Doyle leaned back on a couch, as everyone got comfortable.
And so Xander did. He explained about Justin, about the Power Rangers (edited of course), and he explained what he knew about Tempus.
"Yes and I believe that Cordelia is our final teammate. They're probably conversing right now." Xander nodded.
"You never told me about that." Adam turned to Xander.
The teen tapped his head. "Sorry, didn't think it was significant. Xander's here as well as I am."
"And I wasn't happy when you grappled Adam!" Alex spoke up, shoving Justin out of the driver's seat.
"Xander, is that you?" Angel asked.
"No duh Deadboy." Xander replied sarcastically. "It's a daily thing to share a body with a foreign consciousness."
Justin then took controls back. "Sorry. Alex is taking a little break until he learns to ask for the damn controls."
Alex pouted, but relented.
"Okay... I've seen many things in my years, but that is new." Angel blinked.
"Being a thirteen-year-old in an eighteen-year-old body isn't a picnic ya know." Xander retorted.
"Okay, so what's going to happen? You're going to need our help to break Tempus's spell, right?" Angel asked.
Xander was about to answer, but his cell phone suddenly started ringing. "Excuse me for a moment." Quickly, he picked it up and left the room. "Xander here."
"Xander? It's me, Willow." The voice sounded strange, almost confused.
"What is it?" he asked.
"There's a lady here asking for you." Willow replied.
"Does she have a name?" He asked.
"Divan." Xander furrowed his eyebrows, confused.
"Put her on." Willow was off and another voice came on. A voice hauntingly familiar.
"Hello, blue boy." The voice was cunningly evil. "Just two words for you and you will know me. Zordon's enemy."
Xander froze completely, Adam coming to stand next to him.
"Divatox." He whispered, so low that even vampric hearing couldn't hear it.

Mathais: *pouts* Sorry! I can't do Doyle's accent!
Shinkaa: Cordelia... Why'd we choose her?
Chibi Anzu: Cause she's in LA. And having a Power Ranger slayer would be overkill. And a Power Ranger vampire is an oxymoron.
Mathais: Buffy was a good guess, but we're not normal when concerning crossovers. And Kendra's already dead.
Shinkaa: *shrugs* Well, hope this wasn't too bad.
Chibi Anzu: Bye.
Mathais: *waves a hand* We have another idea for a Buffy/Power Rangers Turbo crossover and we want to see how people like it.
Shinkaa: Basically, a demon comes to Angel Grove and sends Justin's dad into the past with a new life and body and name, where he is then sired. He appears in present day as a vampire with the same bio signature and Justin sets out with the Turbo 2 cast to look for him.
Chibi Anzu: Also, there was a cameo in the second chapter and this one. Honorable Mention to the first ones who can find them!
Mathais: Bye!
