Return

Chapter One

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, and I'm not making any money from this fic. I do, however, lay claim to the original character Regina (who does not have anything to do with the Regina in Regina's Song, btw)

Summary: The original Power Rangers are called back together when a new evil threatens the earth. The original Power Rangers being Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Billy, Zack, and Tommy

Author's Note: Anyone want to buy a plot bunny? They're cheap!

That said, I apologise for anyone being out of character in this story... But this is going to be set a number of years later, so they won't be exactly the same anyway, will they? Anyways, Jason is in a relationship with the original character Regina, but I'll let readers decide which other characters get paired up together

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jason stirred, and pulled the still sleeping Regina closer to him, careful not to wake her. He was perfectly content to just lie there with her, but knew that he would have to get up and go to work soon.

Jason caught sigh of the clock. Or maybe not so soon, he amended. He hadn't realised how early it really was.

Jason dropped a light kiss onto Regina's forehead, and smiled as the woman's eyes fluttered open. "Hey, Sweetie," he said softly.

Regina blinked blearily up at him, then sat up to look at the clock. "Is it time to get up?"

"Not yet," Jason answered, slipping an arm around Regina and hugging her close to him once again.

Regina squirmed a little against him. "Jason," she whined.

Jason chuckled a little. "Regina," he mocked gently.

Regina frowned, but allowed Jason to tuck her against him.

Regina was attractive, but couldn't really be described as 'pretty'. She had dirty blonde hair down to just below her shoulders, and grey eyes that were usually soft but could look like steel when she was angry. Her skin was quite pale because she didn't tan very easily, only burned, and her ears stuck out a little.

After a few moments, Regina asked, "Do you want me to cook some breakfast?"

"No," was the reply.

"Can I do some work around the house?"

"No."

"Are you going to let me go any time soon?" Regina asked plaintively.

Jason thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No," he answered.

Regina sighed.

Jason didn't know why, but Regina hated being hugged. He figured that it must embarrass her or something. Jason, on the other hand, took every opportunity to be close to his girlfriend, and he was determined to make Regina learn to at least tolerate being hugged.

Jason kissed Regina's hair. "Mm. You smell nice."

"Idiot." Regina laughed affectionately. "That's the flowers you smell." She nodded to the vase some distance away.

"Same thing." Jason turned Regina's head towards him, and kissed her softly. It was much gentler than the kisses of the previous night. Then again, those had been kisses of passion. This one was merely to say, I love you.

Jason pulled back gently from Regina, and cupped the back of her head. The fingers of his other hand traced idly over her face, causing Regina to close her eyes and make a sound that was almost a purr in response to Jason's attention.

Jason had to admit that the past few weeks had been hard on the both of them and had put a tremendous strain on their relationship. In fact, Regina had decided that she wanted to see other people. When she had told Jason this, he had simply given his acceptance and then waited.

And Regina had come back to him with a tearful apology which Jason had immediately accepted. If anything, that time had helped them to grow even closer to each other.

"I'm sore," Regina complained suddenly, pulling Jason from his thoughts.

Jason laughed a little. "Me too," he admitted. "You're a little vixen, Regina. I feel like I'm absolutely covered in scratches."

"Mm." Regina's fingers went up to lightly touch one of the bites on her neck. Last night had been... different. Jason was usually so careful with Regina, treating her as if she was extremely fragile. But last night had been filled with passion and desire instead of the usual gentle, sensual nights filled with laughter as the two explored each other's bodies. There had been a kind of urgency in their lovemaking last night, and neither had cared about trying to be gentle with each other.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you at all," Jason was saying. "I was a little out of control last night, and I apologise..."

Regina touched a finger to his lips to silence him. "There's no need to apologise," she told him. "I kind of... liked it." A small blush coloured her cheeks.

Jason chuckled softly, and then brushed his lips over Regina's. His hand stroked gently down her spine, feeling her arch a little beneath his touch. He moved his lips to her neck, and kissed her there.

At just that moment, the phone rang.

Jason sat back with a sigh as Regina lifted the phone and put it to her ear. "Hello. Regina speaking." She listened for a moment, then handed the phone to Jason. "It's for you," she said.

Jason took the phone from Regina, and put it to his ear. "Hey, Jason here."

Regina took that moment to escape into the bathroom. She only bothered to take a towel with her. She and Jason had gone way past the point where modesty was necessary in their relationship.

"Hi, Jase, how are you?" a familiar voice asked.

Jason grinned. "Hey, Tommy!" he responded. "I haven't heard from you in a while. How have you been?"

"Fine, but there's a problem," Tommy answered. "A serious problem."

"How come you only ever make contact with me when there's something bad going on?" Jason pretended to sound hurt.

"Sorry, Jase," Tommy responded, sounding contrite. "I keep on meaning to call you, but you know how it is. I've been really busy."

"It's all right, Tommy," Jason said. "I understand. I was only teasing you."

"Oh, ok." There was a pause, then Tommy asked, "What happened to Emily?"

"We grew apart," Jason answered simply. "I missed having her in my life for a little while, but then I met Regina, who I grew to really care about." Jason hesitated, then added, "About the reason why you called me..."

"I can't really tell you over the phone," Tommy replied, cutting Jason off. "It would be better if we were to talk about it in person. Can you meet me in the park in a couple of hours?"

Jason frowned a little. "Tommy, I do have work to get to, you know."

"I know, so do I," Tommy commented. "But this is really important, Jase. I wouldn't be asking you if it wasn't."

"I know," Jason sighed. "All right. I'll see you in two hours at the park. Bye Tommy."

"Bye Jase," Tommy replied, and put the phone down.

Jason looked up as Regina walked back into the room wearing only a towel, and held out his arms to her. "Come here."

Regina blinked. "But I'm wet," she offered in an attempt to protest.

"I don't care," Jason responded. "I want to hold you, Regina."

Regina hesitated, then crawled onto the bed and let Jason enfold her in his arms, towel and all.

The former red ranger reached out, and lifted up a hairbrush from the bedside table, and then started brushing Regina's hair.

Regina squirmed a little. "You're going to make the bed all wet," she complained.

"Doesn't matter." Jason lifted Regina's hair, and gently kissed the back of her neck. His hands then moved to gently remove the towel from Regina's body, and he laid back on the bed, pulling Regina down with him and letting the hairbrush slip to the ground.

Two hours was plenty of time.

Read and review, please!

I apologise for this being so short... I was going to write all of them meeting up in this chapter, but I'm not entirely sure how Kimberly and Tommy should react to each other. Any comments and/or suggestions would be extremely helpful!
