Disclaimer-see chapter 1

Thanks for the reviews guys-keep them coming. It's nice to know I'm not just writing for myself. My muse has been really active this weekend and I have 3 more chapters ready, so I'll post them as soon as I can.

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

Cam, Dustin and Shane were all at Ninja Ops discussing their plans for the day when Hunter and Tori arrived carrying Blake.

"Dude, what happened?" Dustin asked spying the body slung over Hunters shoulder.

Hunter lay Blake on a table and answered, "My little bro came for a surprise visit and had a run-in with our coffee table." Shane raised his left eyebrow in question. "Tori may have helped a little," Hunter added with a smirk.

"Wow, remind me to never surprise Tori," Cam said while leaning over to examine the coffee table's victim, "Why did you bring him here? Do you not know where any hospitals are?" Tori and Hunter looked at each other, the thought hadn't occurred to either of them.

"Ummm...we trust you more than the hospital," Tori ventured.

Cam just rolled his eyes and informed them that he was pretty sure Blake would live. "We'll just have to wait for him to wake up." He motioned for everyone to back away to give Blake some room and asked, "So do you want to tell us what really happened?"

Hunter repeated the story for the guys.

"So, let me get this straight. Three months of emails, text messaging and phone calls and neither one of you ever thought to mention your new living arrangement?" Shane asked in disbelief.

Tori answered for them both, "He's always so busy and our conversations so short...it was never a priority. I just figured Hunter had told him."

Hunter put in, "And I thought Tori would have brought it up when she told him about the new condos. Obviously it never came up anytime you all talked to him either." They couldn't argue with that so everyone nodded in agreement.

"What do you three have planned for today?" Hunter asked his fellow former rangers.

"Shane's making us help with a special school-wide seminar on team work," Dustin replied, "Shouldn't you be at the Thunder Academy today?"

Hunter shrugged and said, "Nah, I got someone to cover me so I could take Charlie to a martial arts exhibition. There are advantages to being Head Teacher." He thought for a moment and looked over at Blake still laying on the table. "I'd better call and reschedule. I don't want to leave Blake like this."

The others carried on a quiet conversation about the seminar while Hunter made his call. Tori heard Hunter say, "I'm sorry bud, but tomorrow we'll do anything you want." After a pause he caught Tori's eye and added, "Well, I can't make any promises on Tori's behalf, but I'll ask her." Tori knew exactly what he wanted and nodded her approval. "Okay Charlie, surfing lessons it is. See you in the morning."

Having caught this last part, Shane turned to Tori with a mischievous smile on his face. "Well, now Charlie's probably thrilled Hunter had to cancel. We all know not even marshal arts can hold a candle to spending time with his favorite girl." Tori smacked the back of his head while the others laughed. Unnoticed by the others, the body on the table began to stir. Dustin decided to join in, "Poor Blake, he has no idea about your new boyfriend. He's going to have some competition for your affections when he wakes up."

The words were barely out of his mouth when a streak of Navy shot across the cave and onto Hunters back. Hunter howled as Blake pulled his hair and tried to bite the taller man.

"I don't remember learning that Ninja move," Dustin remarked before helping Shane and Cam pull Blake off of his brother. As soon he was free Hunter ran to Tori and crouched behind her for protection, with his eyes just peaking over her shoulder. When it was clear to Blake that he couldn't get free of his teammates he settled down a bit, and Cam got him to promise not to attack Hunter while they explained everything to him. Blake agreed and the other three cautiously let him go. However, Hunter refused to come out from behind Tori. In fact he wrapped his arms around her waist so he could more easily maneuver her as a human shield. Blake's nostrils flared at this, but he remained true to his word and held still.

Dustin decided to start the explanations, "It's not as bad as you think. Tori and Hunter live together." Blake lunged for his brother, but was held back again.

"Do not help Dustin!" Tori yelled while glaring at the man in question. "Blake, do you really thing that Hunter and I would hook up? And then neglect to tell you? Come on, we're all like family." Blake had the good sense to look abashed by this use of logic and apologized for jumping to conclusions. Hunter released his grip on Tori.

"But Tor, you have to know how this looks. You were in his shower...and borrowing his robe and...naked! Why were you naked in Hunter's shower?" Blake was getting agitated again and Hunter grabbed Tori and pulled her tight against his chest. She looked up at him and unconsciously smiled before turning back to the younger Bradley.

"She couldn't very well shower fully dressed." Dustin commented. Five pairs of eyes glared at him. "Sorry, not helping. Please continue."

"Do you remember me telling you about my apartment building being up for sale?" Blake nodded and Tori explained what was really going on with a little help from Hunter, who gradually let the water ninja go and moved to stand next to her.

When the situation was fully revealed to Blake, he looked thoroughly embarrassed and apologized again. He stood up and started forward, but was once again restrained by Shane and Cam.

"Guys, do you mind if I hug my brother and his roomie?" They let him go and he put one arm around each of his favorite people. "Let me make this up to you guys. I'll buy you lunch."

Tori grinned but shook her head, "Sorry, I can't bail on the teamwork seminar. But you should take Hunter-I think he deserves some brother-bonding after the morning he's had." Hunter smiled and mouthed "thank you" as Blake headed toward the waterfall. "Hey, take him to our favorite place," Tori called to Hunters back. He gave her a thumbs-up without turning around and followed his little brother out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now that everyone is in the know, we can have some real fun. Will Blake and Tori be able to recapture their flirty relationship? Or will having Blake back make some other things clear to our heroes? Not too difficult to figure out if you know my ship...
