His thoughts were nothing but a jumbled mess as the Red Dino Thunder ranger worked on packing his bag, most of the thoughts revolving around what he was about to do. The other, more dominant, thought on his mind was about two particular rangers, one adorned in pink and the other a ranger of multiple colors. Taking a deep breath he tried to control the anger he felt building inside him, and for the most part he was able to remain calm. He had a list of questions that he wanted to ask the two, and the fact that the two he wanted to question were just down in the living room made it that much more tempting to go and talk to them. Shaking his head Conner decided to get his mind off of his biological parents and think of something else, so it irked him that he at that point looked over at the full length mirror in the room. He knew very well that he was wearing one of Tommy's old white tank tops, he had to since he himself had picked it out, but seeing him in white instead of red made him feel like a stranger in his own body. Staring at him wasn't the red ranger he had become, it wasn't the leader of the Dino Thunder team, it was someone who was given up by his own parents and about to embark on a journey to obtain a power that was once his father's.

Conner couldn't help it this time, he could feel the anger building up inside him again and he knew that this time it wasn't just going to go away with him taking a few breaths. Clenching his fist he punched the mirror in front of him and hissed as he felt the glass cut his hand. Pulling his bloody fist back he looked down at the crimson liquid and sighed as he walked over to the bathroom and washed the blood off.

"Would you like for me to bandage that up for you?" came a voice that made the red ranger tense up.

Glancing back over his shoulder, Conner saw Kimberly standing there with a first aid kit in her hand and a concern expression directed at him.

"Sure," he muttered solemnly, taking a seat on the toilet.

Kimberly sat the first aid down on the edge of the tub and opened it up, pulling out what she needed and getting to work disinfecting it. She had to admit that she was amazed when he didn't flinch away from what she knew would be a stinging sensation and glanced up at him only to see that he was simply staring down at his cut up hand.

"...Perhaps we should stop and get this stitched up before we head to Angel Grove," Kim suggested as she wrapped the hand up.

"I'll be fine," Conner said pulling his hand back, "just a scratch."

"That's not just a scratch Conner," Kimberly commented with a frown, "why did you even punch the mirror?"

"Had something on my mind."

"And it was bad enough to cut up your hand?" the pink ranger questioned, her tone of voice taking on that of a scolding mother.

That in itself was enough to irritate the younger ranger even more, Conner clenching his uninjured and trembling in anger.

"I mean what were you even think about that made you want to punch something Conner, because if it's about Goldar taking your team's powers then…"

"It's not about Goldar!" Conner snapped glaring at her, "it's about the two former original rangers that were suppose to be my parents but gave me up!"

Kimberly's eyes widen in shock as she took in what he just said, and she could feel her fears grip at her heart making it skip a beat. Her mind started racing, trying to figure out how he knew her secret when she hadn't told him. Could it have been Tommy? No, he had just figured it out himself yesterday and she knew that he wouldn't tell him because she had asked him not to. The only other one who would know would be his parents and Kat, and since Kat was sworn to secrecy just like Tommy then it couldn't have been her, though the the second pink ranger might have told him just to push her along. His parents might have told them, the only time she ever talked to them was after she went to see how Conner was doing and to ask if they would mind sending her pictures of him growing up. She knew it was weird but they didn't seem to mind, and even when she asked them to keep her identity a secret they told her that they couldn't do that and would tell him if he were to ever ask, something she accepted in the long run.

"H-how?" she whispered, shaking slightly.

"When I was knocked out, I had a fight with the the White Ranger," Conner replied, "he told me that I was the child of two of the past rangers and it didn't take long for me to put two and two together."

"Oh…"

"Oh? Is that really all you have to say?" Conner asked angrily, "I mean you gave birth to me, Dr. O trained me to be a ranger and was a role model to me, both of you were legends in my mind, and then I find out about that you two are my parents."

Kimberly gulped, biting her lower lip and looking away from the younger ranger as she tried to think of how to voice her thoughts. She knew that she would have, at one point during her time in Reefside, had to tell both Tommy and Conner her secret, it had been a part of her plan since she first came here and now it seemed that it was falling apart right in front of her.

"Why, why did you give me away?" Conner asked, Kim's stomach twisting in knots as the question, "Was I not worth keeping? Did I interfere in your plans for the future?"

"No!" Kim yelped quickly, "That's not why I gave you up for adoption Conner, I...it's complicated okay."

"Then uncomplicate it," Conner growled.

"I was scared okay, I was young, pregnant and scared," Kim replied with tears in her eyes, "and the only person I thought that I could turn to at the time to help me was Kat."

"I feel like you're hiding something from me," the red ranger pointed out with a huff.

"What I tell you is the truth Conner," the former pink ranger promised looking at the ground, "I was scared and didn't know what else to do but to give you up, if I had thought that there was any other way then…"

"Then what?" he asked glaring at her, "you and Dr. O would have kept me? Well guess what, my so-called father had multiple chances to tell me and kept it from me so I have a bit of a hard time believing…"

"Tommy didn't know," she told the younger ranger cutting him off, "I never told him that you were his child until yesterday."

Conner stared at her in disbelief, the pink ranger looking at him and then over at the door as they heard someone clear his throat. With a nod of his head towards the bedroom, Tommy moved the conversation back to the bedroom and closed the door behind him. Turning around the face the two he looked at both of them before walking over and sitting down in the chair that he kept in that room.

"So I feel like we should talk about this before we head out," he said adjusting his watch, "so why don't you two sit down and we can get started."

Kimberly blushed, looking like a young girl that had just been scolded by her parents, and say down on the edge of the bed as Conner took a seat in the window ciel. With the three of them now seated, Tommy glanced over at the broken glass, making a mental note to clean it up later before someone else walked in, and the glanced back over to Conner.

"Now I'm sure you have some questions."

"What's there to ask?" Conner mumbled, "she never told you about me and gave me up, and all she says about it is that she was scared."

"I made mistakes Conner, I'll be the first to admit that," Kimberly replied looking over at him, "but like I said before if I thought that there was any other way then I would have kept you."

"You were a power ranger, and not just that you were one of the first rangers, a legend," Conner threw back, "what do you have to be afraid of."

"Conner," Tommy warned, "we're not here to cast blame on anyone we're just trying to figure things out."

"Don't go telling me what to do like you're my father Dr. O," Conner spat glaring at him, "you didn't raise me so don't go trying to…"

"I'm not trying to act like your father," Tommy said firmly, his eyes flashing green and making Kimberly shiver, "you're right I didn't raise you, I didn't even know you were my son until yesterday, but I trained you to be a ranger and watched you become the young man you are today so don't go thinking that I'm not invested in your life."

Conner sat back and looked at the ground, knowing that it was better not to say anything when Dr. O's eyes flashed green. Taking a deep breath Tommy clenched his fist a few times as he calmed down, allowing his temporary anger to die down before looking at the other two in the room.

"Right now tensions are running high," he stated plainly, "we're all stressed out from what's happening, Conner and me with losing our powers, and Kimberly and me because we're facing a shadow from our past."

Conner and Kimberly nodded their heads, understanding where the multi colored ranger was coming from.

"And this whole situation isn't making it better," he continued looking over at Conner, "and as much as I would like to say that we'll get the answers we're looking for before you leave we have other things we need to worry about at the moment."

"But I…"

"Conner," Kimberly interrupted the younger ranger as she stood up, "I know my word doesn't mean much to you at the moment but I promise...I promise that I'll tell you everything you want to know when you get back."

Conner looked at her for a second, unsure if she was telling the truth, but with a nod from his mentor he sighed and nodded in agreement. Standing up, Conner left the room and the two older rangers sat there in silence, letting the moment sink in as Tommy reached over and took a hold of her hand.

"I-I'm doing the right thing, aren't I Tommy?" the pink ranger asked holding back tears.

"I believe so," he replied stroking the back of her hand, "and beautiful…"

Kimberly blushed as she heard her past nickname, her gaze shifting away from her former boyfriend as she was too embarrassed to look at him.

"Yeah?"

"You don't have to do this alone," he reminded her with a smile.

This made Kim's blush grow to a darker shade of red as Tommy grinned at her before heading out of the room to do one last check to make sure everyone was ready. As he walked out the original pink ranger heard someone else walk in and looked up to see her successor in the color pink.

"How did everything go?" Kat asked walking over to her.

Without saying anything Kim reached out and wrapped her arms Kat's neck, Kat returning the hug and stroking her hair to calm her down.

"Not good I'm guessing," the second pink ranger sighed, Kim shaking her head in response.

"It could have been worse," she whispered hugging Kat tighter, "I mean, anything can be worse if you think about it but, this went about how I figured it would."

"So what are you going to do now?" Kat asked pulling back and looking her friend in her eyes.

"Wait for this situation with Goldar to blow over, then talk to Tommy and Conner, and hope that I can mend my relationship with both of them."

"And what do you hope to get out of Tommy?" Kat questioned making Kim's blush return in full force.

"With any luck," the original pink replied looking towards the door, "we can pick up where we left off."

A/N: Ah it's good to be back, and this time I have known characters to work with. So the same thing applies as normal, R&R plus may the power protect you all.
