"Are you still going to work at the Youth Center," Adam asked Asa as they entered the Youth Center the next day.
"I thought I would," Asa said, "if Detective Stone will let me." He stood in the doorway and saw that the Youth Center was full of teenagers. He supposed that was normal as it was summer and no one was at school but the building seemed more full then it did the last two days. "Is it usually this busy in the summer?"
"No not really," Adam said as he and Asa walked around the large crowd in the center of the Youth Center. He walked up to Angela. "What's going on?"
"Everyone's here to see the two chimpanzees that Detective Stone found," she explained.
"Where is Detective Stone," Asa asked, "I need to talk to him."
"I think he's serving drinks," Angela said waiving her hand in the general direction. "Oh they are so cute."
"Thanks," Asa said as he made his way through the crowd. "Detective Stone," Asa started to say but stopped.
Emily turned away from behind the bar and said, "Detective Stone is in the storage room."
"Thanks," Asa said still a little uncomfortable at seeing his mother behind the counter. She didn't look that much different then she did in the future. Maybe a little thinner but his mother did have two children. "Hi I'm Lee," he said.
"Detective Stone told me about you," she said smiling. "He should be right out. My name is Emily."
"Nice to meet you," Asa said.
"So you are Jason's cousin," Emily asked.
"So I've been told," Asa said, "but I don't remember anything. I haven't seen Jason around."
"Jason hasn't been around," Emily said as she started to make a drink for a customer. "No one's seen him in six months."
"Oh," Asa said.
"Hello Lee," Detective Stone said coming up to the counter with a crate of bananas. "I see you've met Emily. I'm hoping that you are still planning to work her Asa," he said, "with the chimps I am going to need all of the help I can get."
"Someone said something about them," Asa said, "I better leave my cat at home when I come to work."
"That's probably a good idea," he said, "why don't you wash up and give Emily a hand behind the counter."
"Sure," Asa said before going behind the counter. He took his jacket off and set it on a chair. He washed his hands before taking an order for a twelve-year-old.
They were busy for the next three hours without a break. Detective Stone lent a hand and they were able to serve everyone before anyone had a long wait. Asa was just wiping his hands clean when he saw Adam signaling him and then pointing at the device on his wrist.
"It seems like things are slowing down," Asa said to Detective Stone, "do you mind if I go?"
"Not at all. Thanks for the help Lee," Detective Stone said. "Why don't you come back the day after tomorrow?"
"Sure," Asa said, "It was nice meeting you Emily," he said before taking his apron off.
"You too Lee," she said.
Asa walked up to Adam. "What's going on?" He asked as soon as they walked to a quiet spot.
"Dimitria's calling us," Adam said. He looked down at Asa's wrist. "We need to get you a communicator."
"A what?"
Adam held up his wrist. "A communicator. That's how we stay in touch with Dimitria."
"Oh," Asa said remembering that Jade had a communicator when they went back to their time when they were there six months ago. Stop that, he thought. I can't think about that now.
They teleported to the Power Chamber and found the other Rangers were waiting.
"What's going on Dimitria?" Adam asked.
"DIVATOX HAS SENT A MONSTER TO THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT," She informed him, "OBSERVE THE VIEWING GLOBE."
They turned and saw a monster firing at the workers.
"We need to stop them," Kat said.
"Right," Adam agreed. "Shift into Turbo!" He called before they morphed and teleported to the Warehouse District.
Aisha watched them go. "I wish I could help them," she said to no one in particular.
"IT IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO WATCH OTHERS FIGHT," Dimitria said, "YOU ARE MORE THEN WELCOME TO STAY HERE AND WATCH," She said.
"I will." Aisha said as she turned her attention back to the viewing globe.
"I hate this," Jason said as he and Emily walked into the Command Room of the base.
"I don't like it any more then you do," Emily said laying a hand on his shoulder, "but you said he would be okay."
"Okay?" Jason asked. "I'm starting to 'remember' things. Things I did after time went wrong. The things I did under Gasket's control."
Emily frowned. "I thought you said you were out of Gasket's control when you were teleported into the Power Chamber," she was so confused about everything her husband told her about the new past. Why didn't she feel it the same way he did? Everything seemed normal.
"I don't know anymore," Jason said. "I had another dream where I destroyed Zordon."
"But Zordon…" she started to say but the door opened and in walked Zack.
"I think I'm lost," he said. "I just walked past here a few minutes ago. Which way to the food?"
"I'll show you," Emily said and led him out of the room.
Jason took a power coin out of his pocket. He had no idea how that got there.
Notes: What happened in the time between when Jason was teleported to the Power Chamber and when Billy teleported to the Power Chamber will be a mystery even to the future Jason ;).
