Aisha sat on her grandfather's porch wondering where Adam was. He said he was going to pick her up but that was an hour ago. Adam was always punctual. She supposed there could have been a monster attack in Angel Grove.

"Aisha," her grandfather called from the doorway, "are you sure Adam said he was coming today?"

"That's what he said on the phone this morning," Aisha said getting up from her chair. "I'm going to call him…" she started to say before she heard a car driving up the driveway. She turned around to see it was Adam.

Aisha grabbed her purse. "I'll be home later," she said to her grandfather before heading to Adam's car. She opened the door and got in.

"Sorry about being late," Adam said before starting the car again.

Aisha got a better look at him and noticed that he was as pale as a ghost. "Adam what's wrong?"

"I was talking to Finster and that's why I was late. I know I said we were going to just meet Asa, Tanya, Kat, and Rocky at the Youth Center but there's been a change of plans."

It was a quiet ride as Aisha could tell that Adam didn't want to talk. Instead of driving to the Youth Center, Adam stopped at a park that she, Rocky, and Adam played in as kids. They got out of the car and found Kat, Rocky, and Tanya waiting.

"Where's Asa?" Aisha asked.

"I thought it would be better if he wasn't here," Adam answered. They sat down at a picnic table in a quiet place of the park.

"So what's going on Adam," Tanya asked placing a hand on his.

Aisha looked away wanting anyone to see how much that bothered her.

"Dimitria contacted me and asked me to teleport to the Power Chamber. When I got there I found Finster."

"Finster?" Rocky asked. "What was he doing there?"

"He wanted to talk to someone about what happened six months ago," Adam said. "He said he chose me because I'm one of Tommy's closest friends. He talked about what happened when Tommy died. He said Jason teleported in and Tommy opened his eyes. He died and then Jason grabbed him and disappeared."

"What do you mean disappeared," Kat asked. "The funeral…"

"They didn't send Tommy's body back," Adam said his voice shaking a little. "He said the Olivers knew there was no body. He said Easen gave him the arrowhead. You know the one Tommy was always wearing when he came back to Angel Grove?"

Kat, Rocky, and Tanya nodded.

"So do you think Asa knew," Tanya asked. "Is that why you didn't invite him?"

"I don't know but sometimes I wonder if he knows more then he says."

Asa looked at his watch again wondering where the others were. Rocky had called him saying that they were all going to meet at the Youth Center at 3:00. It was almost 5:00 now.

He sighed. Guess there was a change of plans.

"Bye Ernie, bye Emily," Asa called as he took his apron off and placed it on a hook in the pantry.

"Bye Asa," Ernie and Emily called.

Asa walked outside and thought about contacting the others but then decided against it. He was really the outsiders so if they didn't want to hang out with him that was fine.

He decided to take the shortcut through the park back home. He smiled at the thought of it being home. His home in his own time was nothing but a base. Now he wasn't sure he was in a hurry to go back home.

There was a flash of light and he covered his eyes and stepped back in surprise as he saw a creature made of bones and a gold winged monkey. He took a step back before pulling his morpher out of his pocket.

"Shift into…"

Bam

He was shot from behind and hit the hard ground. His body went numb and he couldn't stop the monkey from picking him up and teleporting away.

Notes: Well it seemed like a good place to stop…
