1Part Forty-Five: Head's Up
Summary: Adam and Tommy give the head's up to Jason and Kat about the status of where the Rangers are.
Disclaimer: Power Rangers will never be mine, but at least this story is. My precious. J/K. But it is one of my prides for even getting this far.
A/N: Okay, sorry if this seems a little out of place, but just had to pull some of the old crew back into the story. Sorry it ain't any longer. Getting a hand cramp at the moment, and stuck. Writer's block. But you know the deal. Read. Reply. I'll catch all ya'll later. May the Powers Always Protect You.

Two days passed.
Adam walked into the Oliver household to find Tommy talking on the phone. And it was no surprise to him to find out who was on the other line. Kim. Adam made it clear to Tommy that he'd come by to clue Jason in on the situation, and that he had hoped not to find the couple on the phone. In the past few days, the two must have racked up more minutes on their cell phones than any of the other old ranger crew could make up for in a month. Even though they were both Verizon Wireless users, it was enough to say their brains must have been fried with all the satellite radiation.
Adam cleared his throat, making it clear he wanted Tommy off the phone.
Tommy forced out a breath, nodding. "Um... Kim, I gotta go. Mr. Annoyed-Korean-Frog-Man wants me to get off the phone so I can talk to Jase about what's been going on in the last few months. But I'll call you later."
After a few moments, he hung up the phone and followed the black ninja down to the lab.
Time passed.
The webcam was set, and the moment they logged on, Jason was waiting for them on the other line.
"I was wondering when I was gonna get your call." He said by means of greeting.
"Blame the chatter birds." Adam shook his head.
"Sorry, Jase. Been busy." Tommy shrugged.
"So, I noticed." Jason nodded. "And I also got word from a little crane that there's an engagement I should know about."
"It's about time." Adam said, smacking the black dino thunder ranger in the back of the head.
"I hear ya on that, Adam. Congrats, Tommy. So, when are we gonna see those wedding bells?"
"We see it as a November or early December outing." Tommy nodded. "Still haven't decided on the date, or finalized the location."
"I assume you got your invitation, right?" Jason asked about his own invitation to his wedding.
"Yeah, I did, Jase. And that was not funny how you put that on the front."
"'Dr. Thomas Oliver and Mrs. Kimberly Hart-Oliver.'" Jason chuckled. "Sorry, buddy. I couldn't help it."
The black duo began to file out the proposal and some of the things that's been going on in the last couple months. Including the discovery of the White Ranger and how he was now on their side. Jason was getting word from both Ethan and Conner about some of the other things going on, including the little evil ranger fiasco with a certain pink ranger. Adam and Tommy was there to fill in the rest.
"So, you sent Aisha and Rocky out there to keep an eye on Kim?" Jason asked as Tommy nodded. "Ya know, bro. She ain't gonna like that gesture all too much."
"That's what I'm saying, but we can't take the risk." Adam nodded.
"Yeah, I was planning to return to teaching tomorrow..." Tommy began.
"Bad idea." Adam coughed, clearing his throat.
Tommy glanced at the black frog ninja, before looking at the original red ranger. "Adam isn't agreeing with the idea all too well. But I'm fine. I feel fine."
"Mercer decided to give up a day for him to return, but if not, then Tommy won't be returning until we finally put an end to all this mayhem."
"Relax, Adam." Tommy patted the black ninja's shoulder. "I'll be fine."
Then a small voice came from behind Jason. "Daddy, who you talking to?"
Jason cringed as he pulled the boy up to his lap. And if someone looked at it, they could see almost every aspect of the man in the young boy. "Just some friends. Say 'hi' to Tommy and Adam, Marcus. Tommy, meet your 'nephew'."
Tommy raised an eyebrow. "Explanation now, Jason."
"Hi, Tommy. Hi, Adam." the small boy said with a bright smile.
"Hey, Mark. What have you been up to lately?" Adam greeted the boy.
"Nothing much. Daddy's starting to teach me some karate."
"Hey, Marcus. What are you doing?" Kat came on the screen as she took the boy from Jason's lap. "C'mon, go play in the other room with your friends. Daddy gots some work to do."
Marcus waved into the camera and ran off into the other room as Kat found a seat beside her fiancé.
"Guess you met the little rascal, huh, Tommy? Sorry." Kat apologized. "I thought Jason would have told you already. Hope you're not freaking out too much."
Tommy shook his head. "No. Of course not."
"But congratulations, Tommy. Before I forget." Kat smiled.
"Yeah, we got another on the way. Says it's gonna be a girl." Jason nodded patting Kat's stomach. "Possibly a January or February born."
Tommy nodded. "Well, congrats. On both kids, you guys."
"What about you, Tommy? Have you guys discussed that yet?" Adam looked over at the black dino thunder ranger who was turning a little red by the looks of what had been going on in the last few minutes.
"Not gonna say nothing. Confidential stuff until we decide to share it with the rest of you guys."
"Meaning soon." Jason and Adam nodded.
The black duo continued to spill out the news of what's been going on on the Ranger front, but nothing that really didn't seem to surprise Jason all too much. Ethan and Conner were obvious on the case to inform him of the news.
"Can we say movie star yet?" Kat asked, hoping Tommy was still looking into acting.
"I highly doubt it, Kat. I really don't see myself as action star material." Tommy shook his head.
"Well, you obviously put up a great act for Kim..." Jason began looking away.
"Don't start with me. Jase."
"What about you, Adam?" Kat looked toward the black ninja ranger.
Adam shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe. I think it would be fun."
"Hey, if this makes you feel better, T. I'm out. I decided to drop the acting career before it started. I'd rather keep teaching martial arts and keeping an eye on the streets than be in front of a camera all day."
"It's not that bad." Kat said. "Besides, I can always hook you guys up with a role if need be."
"So, what's up on the agenda now?" Jason asked.
The black duo shrugged.
"Just waiting for Mesogog's next attack." Tommy said.
"Well, then I guess I don't have much to worry about for now. I'll check in with Rocky and Aisha." Jason nodded.
"Or the teens will give you the heads up. They seem to be on top of things." Adam said.
"All right. Catch you two later. And try to check in more often." Jason flashed a peace sign.
"Later, bro." Tommy flashed out a peace sign, too.
"Bye, guys. Stay safe. And congrats again, Tommy." Kat waved a good-bye.
"It's about time." Adam and Jason groaned.
"Shut up!" Tommy growled, tired for being accused of waiting too damn long to propose to Kim. "But yeah, thanks, Kat. Catch you two later."
The conversation ended, and the black duo moved on to do other things before the day ended.
To be continued.....
A/N: Hmmm? Dr. Oliver going back to teaching. Don't forget all, he is suffering from some psychological battle that he must battle on his own. Yes, this will tie into "Fighting Spirt" when I get that far. But, for now, so you know there will be some problems in the next few chapters. Stay tuned like you always do. Keep doing what you do. Isang diwa. Isang mahal. (One spirit. One love.) Later all.
