Eh yeah I'm back.
So I, apparently along with many others, think that the Rangers, especially former evil ones, need therapy. And lots of love. I could go on a rant here about the Rangers' wellbeing, but I think I'll just get to the chapter and rant later.
It was Hayley who'd suggested it to Tommy. He thought it was a good idea.
They were all in the lair, after another victory against one of Mesagog's monsters. The younger members of the team were heading out, to go to Hayley's.
"Trent." Dr. O. called. "Can I have a minute?"
"Sure Dr. O." Trent turned to the older man. The black ranger had a thoughtful expression. "What's up?"
"I was wondering…well, Hayley suggested it."
"Suggested what?"
Tommy was silent for a long moment. "You know that we aren't the only team of Power Rangers that has existed, right?"
Trent snorted. "Of course."
"Well, you and I aren't the only ones who have ever been turned evil."
"And…?"
"Well," Dr. O. scratched his head. "A few nights from now, we have a support group meeting. You think you want to come?"
"Wait, let me get this straight." Trent said. "There's a formerly evil ranger therapy group? And you go to it? And want me to come?"
"Well, yeah."
"Please tell me you're joking." Dr. O. shook his head.
"Nope. The Former Evils is a real thing."
"You call yourselves the 'Former Evils'?"
"Karone named it."
"And Karone is?"
"She used to be known as Astromena."
Trent blinked. "Wait, the villainess that the Astro Rangers faced?"
"That's her."
Trent was at a loss for words.
"You don't have to go." Tommy said to his befuddled student. "I just think it'll help. Why don't you think on it, and let me know later?"
"A-Alright." Trent went and caught up with the others.
He had to admit, meeting other people who understood what he'd gone through? It was very tempting.
He'd go, Trent decided. This could help.
Next chapter will be therapy!
