Author's Notes: This contains SLASH! Relationship between two men and if you don't things like that please hit the back button and go no further. This plot bunny hid and bit before I could get rid of it. This is a prequel to my drabble entitled "Blue Meets Evil On The Beach!" Just one possible explanation for the tale of how Chad Lee and Ryan Mitchell might have became a couple. Enjoy and please leave a review. Pern. Now onto the tale…
Chapter One – Two Days LaterChad stretched as he woke up and smiled as he felt his new lover, Ryan Mitchell, tighten his strong arms around his waist. "Ryan, I have to get ready for work." Chad said quietly as he rolled in the strong embrace to face his lover.
"Why?" Chad protested sleepily. "Stay home with me."
"Have to go, Ryan." Chad said sadly and then giving his taller blond, built, gorgeous, and very generous lover a passionate tongue kiss. "Damn, you taste so good." Chad sighed as he remorsefully pulled away from the best and most passionate male lover he'd had in years. "Need the money to pay my bills, Ryan. Besides I enjoy my job."
Ryan frowned darkly and angrily as Chad padded, nude, into the hallway and turned toward the bathroom of his medium sized apartment. Chad had no idea that Ryan wasn't a normal human; but one that had been taken from his family and raised by Demons that would soon be attacking the city of Mariner Bay in order to restore the temple to Queen Bansheera that had once stood where the thriving city was now built. "I want him here with me!" Ryan said angrily and seemingly into thin air.
"You must keep him from becoming a Power Ranger, Ryan." Diabolico's evil voice issued from everywhere in the room. "You are not to become attached to this human, but to corrupt him so he will not be accepted into the Lightspeed Rescue team that is even now being chosen."
"I've done everything I can think of, father." Ryan said with a slight frightened tremble in his voice. "We've had sex multiple time in the last two days. What more can I do? Give me a spell that will keep him here. You said today was the day he'd be chosen. If he's not at work; they won't find him, right?"
"A spell would be detected the second he stepped into the Lightspeed Base, Ryan." Diabolico said angrily. "You must keep corrupting him. Humans do not approve of same sex couplings and his engaging in sexual activities with you will show up on the medical exam. He will be expelled from the team for that."
"I will seduce him before he leaves for work then." Ryan said with conviction as he felt his father's presence leave the room. He rose from the bed and padded down the hallway and stepped into the steamy bathroom where Chad could be seen behind the clear glass shower doors. Ryan opened the door and slid into the shower with his lover. He turned the smaller man and kissed him forcefully and passionately even as his hands roamed down toward Chad's ass. He kneaded and squeezed the firm, pale olive globes as Chad moaned deep in his throat and into Ryan's possessive kiss. It didn't take Ryan long to fulfill his promise of seducing Chad into having relations in the shower and with Ryan behind him; Chad never saw the triumphant look that twisted and contorted Ryan's handsome face as he spilled his orgasm deep into Chad's very willing body. "This evidence of his evil and perverse nature will keep him from being chosen and father will be most pleased with me. I'm so glad that I'm as twisted as the rest of my demon family. Father is right, this one will be mine alone and without him Mariner Bay will be destroyed and Queen Bansheera's Temple will once again rise in glory as will she when we return her to life."
Chad groaned in pleasure as he achieved his orgasm seconds after Ryan did. He shivered slightly in the cooling water as Ryan eased out of his body and turned his smaller lover into a tight embrace as both men slowly recovered from the passionate encounter. Ryan tenderly kissed Chad's neck and then bit hard and sucked. Leaving a very visible hickey and teeth marks. Chad moaned in pleasure and returned the favor. "I want everyone to know you're mine, Chad." Ryan sighed his tone was meant to be possessive and angry; however it came out loving and caring without him even realizing it.
"And I want everyone that see you to know that you're claimed by me, lover." Chad said tenderly as he stroked Ryan's back. Both men shivered when the hot water turned very cold. Chad turned off the water quickly and both jumped out to dry off with large blue bath towels from the rack on the front of the shower door. "I'd really love nothing more than to stay here and make love all day long, but duty calls. I have to work today."
"Stay here, Chad." Ryan pleaded with sad puppy dog eyes. "Call in sick and stay here with me today, please lover?"
"I can't, Ry." Chad said very sadly. "Today is Vicky's day off and I have to be there to take care of dolphins and whales. I have some vacation time coming and I can get the next week off; but today's our busiest day. I'll be back home before you know it, Ry. Just hang out if you want. I've left you a key on the kitchen counter." Chad smiled sadly at Ryan before donning his biking briefs and pulling on a pair of tight blue jeans and a dark blue clinging t-shirt. He walked back toward the living room of his apartment. He picked up his wallet and truck keys from the small table by the front door and pulled Ryan, who'd followed him, still nude, into a tight hug and pulled his face down for a deep, passionate, and loving kiss.
Ryan wrapped his arms around Chad's wiry yet surprisingly muscular body and returned the kiss eagerly. Both men were breathless when the kiss ended and Chad, regretfully, pulled away from Ryan, turned, and quickly left the apartment. His loving smile didn't leave his face for the entire ten-minute drive to the Aquarium. He locked up his truck and was making his way toward the employee entrance when two men, dressed in military style uniforms approached him from a bright yellow Hummer.
"Chad Lee?" One man asked with a stern tone.
"Yes?" Chad asked warily as he stopped and faced the two men.
"Lieutenant Morgan, Lightspeed Rescue." One of the men said stepping slightly forward. "You're dossier has been chosen to become one the newest team of Power Rangers. Mariner Bay is going to be under attack and you're needed to protect our city and possibly our entire world. Your employer has released you to accompany us; if you're interested?"
"I'll come." Chad said as his smile left his face to be replaced with a serious expression.
"This way, sir." Lieutenant Morgan said and pointed toward the Hummer. Chad climbed into the large vehicle and rode in silence to the shore entrance to the underwater, supposedly secret, Lightspeed Rescue base.
Once inside the base, Chad was let into Captain William Mitchell's office. "Welcome Mr. Lee." Captain Mitchell said with a smile on his surprisingly handsome face; despite the scar that marred his cheek. "I'm glad you've decided to hear our proposal. I'm Captain Mitchell, head of Lightspeed Rescue." Mitchell extended his hand for a handshake.
Chad shook Captain Mitchell's hand even as he shook inside when he noticed similar features to his newest lover, and the man quickly becoming firmly entrenched in his heart. "Oh shit! He's gotta be related to Ryan. FUCK! I sure hope he knows that Ryan's gay or at least bi or I'm dog meat." "Pleased to meet you sir." Chad said with a slight cough of surprise at the warm smile Captain Mitchell bestowed upon him.
"Right his way… May I call you Chad?" Captain Mitchell asked as he motioned Chad toward a large door set into the side of his office.
"Sure." Chad tossed out as casually as he was able to, considering the circumstances.
"Well then." Mitchell said with a bright smile. "Right this way, Chad. You'll meet the rest of the team before going down to medical for a quick physical to be sure you're compatible with the morpher. Then we're reconvening in the conference room just off my office. You'll have assigned quarters in the base; but are free to come and go unless there's an emergency."
Chad entered the room that Mitchell had indicated and took the only empty chair, besides the one at the head of the table. He smiled at the woman in pink on his left and the woman in yellow on his right as he sat down. "All right, now that everyone is here. I'll do some quick introductions and then you'll go to medical for an evaluation. "Carter Grayson decorated and dedicated fireman. Kelsey Winslow, extreme sports enthusiast and mountaineering expert. Joel Rawlings, skilled pilot and barnstorming expert. Dana Mitchell, certified EMT and training to be a nurse; as well as my daughter. Finally, Chad Lee, diver and marine expert. This is the team we've chosen from thousands of dossiers at our disposal. You'll be trained over the next week and have some time to get accustomed to the differences in your bodies after receiving your morphers. Training will start day after tomorrow to allow all of you to clear up any personal matters and let your families know you'll not be reachable for about a week. Lieutenant Morgan will lead you down to medical and then back up here after your check ups."
"Captain Mitchell?" Chad asked, a worried tone in his voice, just as the man was turning to exit the room. "Will Lightspeed be run under military rules, sir?"
"Partially." Mitchell replied with a slight smile on his face. "But not completely. We've done extensive research on this team. Your private dossiers, not the ones in the folders before you, are very complete and we're aware of most aspects of your private lives. Nothing will be held against you, of that you can be assured, Chad. We were very thorough and discrete during our investigations. If you are uncomfortable with us knowing anything about you; rest assured that your private files are locked in my safe and I am the only one that has seen them."
"It partially reassures me." Chad said cautiously. "I just hope that we'll be allowed off base sometime during our training so we can see our families."
"Definitely." Mitchell said with a warm smile. "We are not tyrants and I also understand that becoming Power Rangers is going to turn your lives upside down enough and you'll have, barring emergencies, two days off every week. This is a job and you will be paid wages for your time as Rangers. Government wages; but you will be paid."
"That's good to know." Joel quipped with a bright smile on his dark chocolate face. "At least I won't starve because I can't perform at air shows for a while."
"You'll all be compensated, Joel." Mitchell said with a friendly smile at all of them even as he laid a hand on Dana's shoulder. "Just to let you know; I had no input in the choice of the team; my daughter was chosen on her own merits and there will be no favoritism."
"Never doubted that, Captain Mitchell, sir." Carter said with a warm friendly smile directed at Dana.
"Let's get these physicals out of the way." Kelsey said brightly as she bounced slightly on the balls of her feet.
The group, led by Lieutenant Morgan, made their way through the large underwater base and soon arrived in the medical bay. Chad sighed in relief when he discovered that the exams would be conducted privately for each of them in a different cubicle. He was completely shocked when Dana Mitchell walked in to perform his exam.
"I'm sorry if this will make you uncomfortable, Chad." Dana said with an apologetic tone and small smile on her face. "Dad requested that I be the one to conduct your exam because all the rest of the medics are military personnel."
"I'd rather you than some straight-laced, prejudiced, military doctor, Dana." Chad replied with a huge sigh of relief. "Just so you know and won't be shocked when you do the exam; but I have a male lover and we made love just before I left for work this morning. That won't be problem will it?"
"Not with me, Chad." Dana said with an understanding smile and a bright twinkle in her eye. "I don't care what a person's sexual orientation is; but I'd keep it quiet on the base. Just simply because some of the military people will be angry and might decide to retaliate against you because of your preference and I'll be sure to keep that aspect of your exam out of the official military records."
"Thank you for doing that and just so you know; I can handle myself, Dana." Chad said with a bright smile lighting up his Asian featured face. "I've got a couple of black belts to my name so let them try something. Wouldn't be the first time I've had to bust a few heads over my preference in sex partners."
"Never doubted that you weren't capable of fighting, Chad." Dana said as she started the exam with practiced ease and competence. "You wouldn't be on the team if you didn't have some fighting skills. I hope your lover won't be angry with you for taking this position. Not many understand when their significant other is going to be gone for days at time. I know; my boyfriend broke up with me when I told him about joining Lightspeed."
"He'll understand, Dana." Chad said with a confidence he didn't feel. "He's a really great guy and he's fast becoming someone I don't want to live without in my life. Even though I just met him two days ago; I think he's the one for me, permanently."
The rest of Chad's exam went quickly and he and Dana were the last two to return to the large conference room attached to her father's office.
"Okay, that's the last of the team." Captain Mitchell said as he daughter and Chad Lee entered the room with bright smiles and laughter. He placed a large silver metal brief case onto the table and opened it. He turned it to face the people seated before him. "Carter, the red morpher and team leadership are in your hands. Joel, the green morpher is for you. Kelsey, the yellow is for you. Chad, you're going to be the Blue Ranger. Dana, the Pink Morpher is for you. Take them and put them on your wrists. These give you the ability to access the powers of a Power Ranger as well as serve as your communicators when you aren't morphed in your Ranger Armor. Be back here at the base no later than 0800 hours two days from now. Your training will start then."
"How do we get back to our vehicles?" Chad asked rising from his chair and taking his morpher from the padded case. "I was driven here by Lt. Morgan."
"Carter will drop all of you off at your destinations and then pick you back up in two days at your homes. After your training is complete; you'll be able to drive your personal vehicles back and forth if you wish. See you in two days, Rangers."
"Good bye, sir." Carter said stiffly and formally as he rose and saluted Captain Mitchell. "You won't be disappointed with us."
Chad shrugged and just smiled at the man while Kelsey and Joel did the same. Dana hugged her father and then all of them left the room. Carter drove the bright yellow hummer with competence as he dropped them all off at their destinations. His last stop was dropping Dana off and he blushed when he received a hug just before she jumped from the vehicle with a wave.
Chad, after he was dropped off, climbed into his truck with a worried frown crinkling his brow. "Ryan didn't want me to go work today. He's not going to take me being gone for a full week very well and after spending the last two nights wrapped so lovingly in his arms; I'm not sure I'm going to sleep at all for a few days. This is going to complicate things; just what I didn't need." He glumly started his truck and drove to his apartment and the revelation he had to make to his lover. His mind was so awhirl with the problems telling his lover about his new job that he never even considered that Ryan's last name was the same as Captain Mitchell's and his new teammate Dana's.
