This chapter is quite Kira centric... yeah. More than the first one XD
It didn't take long for Kira to fell asleep, they put her in the sleeping bag and she fell asleep immediately. Probably they had here sleeping bags in the emergency case, but she didn't think about that, she needed some sleep. Trini and Zach left her alone and returned to the rest. They were quite confused, shocked... they didn't know what to do or say. They were just standing and looking at 4 rangers on the ground. Billy was scanning the last one - white ranger.
- Zordon... do you believe her? - Tommy asked, at this moment he realized that they didn't ask about her name, but they will have time for that. For now, they had to do something about it.
- YES, TOMMY. I BELIEVE THAT SHE IS SAYING TRUTH, BUT THAT CREATES A BIG PROBLEM IN THE TIMELINE. EVEN I CAN'T PREDICT HOW THIS WILL END FOR EVERYBODY. - Zordon said to his rangers with a serious voice. This rangers were away from their time, how the universe will react to their presence in the past? Nobody could tell that.
Tommy rubbed his forehead. He had five future rangers in commander center, four unconscious, one sleeping. One of them was his future version and the other one was calling him "dad" for some reason. Maybe she was only confused by this time travel, but he couldn't forget how she reacted to see him. She asked about his hair and color of his clothing... she recognized him... There was a way that she was his daughter from future?
- Billy? - Tommy asked, looking at the blue ranger. - Can you check if... this yellow ranger DNA match mine? - he asked, looking at him. Billy was confused at the beginning but he realized after a sec what Tommy was thinking about. He checked it quite quickly.
- No... she isn't your daughter, I don't know why she called you dad. Probably she was confused. - Billy answered. This future yellow ranger wasn't his kid. Tommy sighed with relief. That would be too complicated if that was his child. He wasn't sure what he would think about his child as a ranger. For him that was his life, but is this something that he wants for his child? God, Tommy... you are too young for that thoughts. He looked at Kimberly and smiled.
- You all should return to the homes... we can't do much here. I will stay with them. - Tommy said, looking at other rangers. He kissed Kim for goodbye and every ranger except Tommy and Billy went to their houses. Billy was finishing the scan.
- Can you tell when they will wake up? - Tommy asked Billy and Alpha.
- This energy is leaving them quite quickly, but in yellow ranger case, this energy was almost gone when she woke up. They are full of it... at this speed, they should wake up maybe tomorrow. - Billy answered, looking at his leader.
- Go home, Billy. - he said with the tired voice. - I will stay in the case if our guest wakes up. - he added after a while.
- Ay yi ay ay, you Tommy should rest too. - Alpha said.
- I will do that later. Don't worry. - Tommy smiled and looked at Billy, who after quick goodbye teleported from CC. Someone has to stay here and all of them knew that Tommy had the best opportunity to do this. He looked at the black ranger. He was from 2005... and he was still a ranger? With new color? Still kicking in this? He didn't know what to think about it. From one side it seemed cool, but... he dreamed about future with Kimberly, quiet house away from noises of the town, but it looks like future have different plans for him.
- TOMMY, WHAT IS TROUBLING YOU? - Zordon asked.
- Nothing... just... I'm thinking about my future. - He answered honestly with his eyes glued to the black ranger, some part of him still didn't believe that he is really him. Probably that doubting side will vanish after this guy demorph, but for now it can't happen, cuz he is unconscious in morphed form. Zordon said nothing, that was something new.
- I will check what with... her. - Tommy said after a while and went to the room where Kira was sleeping. He sat on his sleeping bag and watch her sleep. That probably was creepy, but... it seemed somehow natural for him. Billy confirmed that she isn't his daughter, but he felt bound to this girl. He didn't know why, but when she looked at him the first time and recognized him, she had something in her eyes. Before that she was confused, scared a little bit... but after she saw him, she'd seemed to calm down.
Really, he didn't know how much he was just sitting there, watching her breathing, drowning in his own thoughts.
Then, he heard her voice.
- Bu! - she said with the smile. He jumped a little bit, but he wouldn't admit that he looked at her and smiled.
- Hey... how are you feeling?
- Better now. - she nodded and rubbed her eyes. - How long are you sitting here? - she asked.
Tommy realized, that he had no idea.
- A while. - he answered. - I just realized that I don't know your name, it's strange to call you yellow ranger all the time. - He confessed with the little smile.
- Kira. - yellow ranger smiled and slowly sat.
- Nice to meet you, Kira. - he said with little bit too official voice.
- Yeah... well... for me we had already met. A long time ago. It strange. - She shook her head and looked at him. Seeing her dad at her age was definitely something that she could call strange. She still couldn't believe that he had long hair like this.
- Can you tell me something about my future? - Tommy asked, looking at her.
- I could... but I don't know if I should. - Kira answered after a while of the doubt. She didn't know if she should tell him anything. She could affect their own timeline. That was so weird! Why was it her who woke up first? Dr. O would be better in this situation, or even Ethan with his nerd mind.
- You called me 'dad'. - He looked at her, wanting to know something about it. He asked Billy, he said that she isn't his daughter, but he couldn't just let it go... there was something, but he couldn't say what it was. He was feeling this, even if he didn't know her. That was so strange. Kira gulped and looked down.
- That's a long story. - she answered.
- We have time, Alpha said that your friends probably won't wake up till tomorrow. - white ranger answered with the sigh. He was pushing this subject, but he wasn't certain why. He just wanted to know, if he doesn't find out, his mind probably will explode. Kira sighed.
- Well... future you adopted me a few months ago. But he is like a father to me since I became a ranger. - She answered and gather some courage to look at past Tommy face. She wasn't sure if he will be satisfied with this answer. She sighed as memories came to her mind.
It was the day, as usual, her father beat her quite hard yesterday, but she could move, so she wasn't complaining. She went to CyberCafe to meet with her friends. She was playing today a little concert at the cafe. She said good afternoon to everybody and went to the stage, where she sat down and started to check her guitar. Then Dr. O came over with apple juice for her.
- Here, have it. - he said with the smile, giving her drink.
- Thanks, Da... Dr. O - she said with the smile. She called him dad few times, she didn't know if he didn't realize it, didn't hear or he was ignoring it. But he was really like a father to her. For them all. He was on her every gig, he watched Conner's matches, sometimes he was allowing Ethan to use a computer in the base to play some games because there he hadn't 'lags' or he was allowing Trent to draw in the base. He was like the second father to all of them, but for her... he was only parental figure she had in her life.
- No problem... Kira, what is this? - his smile fell off when he noticed a bruise on her neck.
- Something after last fight with 'drones. - she lied quickly.
- Kira... last time we fought them was last week, this is too fresh. - he noticed, making Kira curse in her mind.
- It's nothing. I must start the concert. - she said, trying to avoid the subject, but when she saw Dr. O look, she knew that he won't forget that.
Tommy was shocked. Did he adopt her? Will adopt her? So she was his daughter, but not in the blood. He was an adoptive child too, he understood that feeling, but Kira seemed to be more than fine with that. He didn't know what to think.
- You are our mentor... you learned us what means to be Power Ranger. But, without offense, you are something more, than the head in the tube. - she couldn't help herself, she had to call Zordon that way. Because he was head in the tube! - You were on my every gig in local Cafe, at Conner's soccer matches, you are nagging Ethan for playing too long, you support Trent's artistical hobby. - she started counting everything that he was doing for them, he was more than a mentor. Everything that she was saying made him more shocked than he was before, he was just quiet and he was listening. He guessed that these names are names of other rangers; blue, red and white.
- You are helping us with our homework or pretending not to see when we are trying to steal answers to pop quiz you are planning to do next day in the class... - she smiled, remembering when Dr. O caught them red-handed and admitted that he knew from the beginning about their plans.
- Pop quiz? Class? - he asked surprised.
- Ohh... yeah. You are our teacher. Science Teacher. - She added, realizing that that must be quite shocking for him. Not many people in high school think about being a teacher in future.
- Really? - He raised his bow.
- Yeah... we call you Dr. O, you have Ph.D. - she shrugged her arms. - Well... you are our mentor, our teacher... but mostly you are part of this weird family. Like second father... but for me, you were first. - she sighed. Surprisingly it felt good to tell this. Like taking some pressure from her arms. She'd never needed to tell that, they knew this, but it was nice to say this.
- My family was the pathological mess... give me a whole army of tyranodrones, Mesogog's monsters, but Power protect me from my family. - she laughed bitterly. Tommy gave her warming smile. - When you realized that something was wrong... well. You acted... and now, I'm Kira Oliver. - she shrugged again. She was surprised how easily she could say about this. Maybe because she was speaking with Tommy? In some twisted way, she was speaking to her father.
- Wow... I don't know what to say. - he answered honestly.
- You don't have to say anything. - she shrugged. - You will give me lecture in the future. - she smiled. That was weird but... she felt quite freely around Tommy? Probably she won't behave this way in the other company, but now... well. It was ok.
Then they heard the sound of the alarm.
