Power Rangers Triad
Chapter 6
It was a week later when Jason and Bill finally let Danni leave the Medical Bay and even then at least one of them was always with her.
"Guys, this is really getting tiring. Not that I don't care about you both, but you two need to spend some time together. Just the two of you."
"We tried that once before, and remember where it got us?" asked Jason
"Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Look I'm sorry that things got out of hand Jas. How about I make a concession, any time I'm alone with you or Bill I'll form a link between the three of us. That way the one that isn't there can still know what's going on."
"What sort of link?" asked Bill questionably.
"Nothing deep Bill, just a light link so that the other one know what we are feeling."
"Kind of like what happens when we lose control?" asked Jason.
"Exactly. But I don't expect anything as hot and heavy as when you both slip." smiled Danielle
At their slight blush she knew they got her message, they both REALLY NEEDED to work on their control
"Sorry Danni," said Jason.
"Don't be handsome; for the most part it's quite enjoyable. But I am still a woman, and even I have my limit."
"Yes Master," said Bill blushing slightly.
"Forget it handsome, now what is this big secret that you two are trying to hide from me?" answered Danni as she took both of their hands.
"Well you probably know that during the summer the gang usually spending a lot of time hanging out at the Scott's house" said Bill.
"Yes I know, and I also know that they have asked you and "the gang" to come over this Saturday. Jas, you don't have to ask permission to go see your parents and hang out with your friends."
"Oh were not, well not exactly. What we're asking is do you want to come with us?" asked Jason
After a few seconds of silence Danni asked "Jason are you sure? And have you thought exactly how you're going to explain me to your parents? I'm not sure if any of them remember me any way other than the shy little girl that always used to hang around"
"Well actually it's all our parents. Mom and dad have asked everyone's parents who live in the area to come for the get together. It's sort of a summer tradition since most of us have known each other since we each moved here."
"Oh Jas, I don't think I can….."
"What's wrong beautiful…. Chicken?" asked Jason.
"Did you just call me beautiful?" asked Danielle questionably as she just realized what he had called her. It was the first time that either of them had called her anything but Danni or Danielle.
"Well you call us handsome" replied Bill.
"True, turnabouts fair play. But I'm still not sure about meeting your parents. What exactly, if anything, have you told them about me?"
"They know about us being Power Rangers. We sort of had to tell them after they saw us teleport in after one of our battles and were pretty beat up."
"And their reaction was?"
"They were shocked at first but not really surprised. They just watched the news and worried a lot when we had the power, but now that we've retired"
"And after I showed back up and brought the team back together?" asked Danielle.
"I think they know, but we don't talk about it a lot "
"So I'm you're…..what?" asked Danni as she looked both of them straight in the eyes. She knew that they were all at a pivotal point in their relationship. If they were even considering telling their parents about her they were getting closer to forming the triad.
"Well, we've said you were sort of our advisor…" said Jason sheepishly.
"Well I guess that's one way to explain it. Now I have a question for both of you, do your parents know about the compound?"
"No, why do you ask?" questioned Bill.
"Well I was just wondering since there are ten of you and at least two sets of parents for each of you.
I sure hope the Scott's have a very large backyard."
"Well actually we usually go to Angel Grove park," said Jason sheepishly.
"I thought so, but since I'm sure a sensitive subject will be discussed might I suggest that you tell your parents about the compound. Then offer the use of the park as your get together place so that when questions are asked, and I can assure you they will be. No one can possible overhear." said Danielle.
"That's not a bad idea, Jason" said Bill as he looked over at Jason.
"I do have my moments handsome. Now go talk to the others, then tell your parents. Whenever you're ready the park will be yours"
"Thanks Danni, for being so understanding about all of this" said Jason as he came over and gave her a quick kiss on the check.
"Watch it handsome!" said Danielle teasingly.
"Sorry Beautiful," said Bill as he also gave her a quick kiss then they both left to find the others.
Damn this was getting complicated, but if she admitted it to herself she wouldn't have it any other way.
Over the next few days each of the team told their parents about Danielle and the compound, they all agreed that the park in the compound would be the best place for them to meet since they definitely had question for Danielle. So plans were made for the next Saturday for everyone to meet at Ernie's and then they would teleport into the compound. Danielle had made comm badges for each set of parents so they could get through the security of the compound.
At the appointed time the families gathered at Ernie's and in the back parking lot, they all teleported into the compound. As soon as they landed in the corridor the computer automatically announced.
"Unknown persons detected. Step forward and be identified."
"It's ok mom and dad, it's just Danni's computer." explained Tommy as he motioned his parents to step forward.
They stepped forward and the computer scanned them running a thin red light over them both.
"Mr. and Mrs. William and Barbara Oliver. Adopted parents of Thomas Oliver" answered the computer as Tommy's parents went to stand beside him.
"Mr. and Mrs. David and Andrea Hillard. Parents of Katherine Hillard Oliver" answered the computer as Katherine's parents went to stand next to her and Tommy
"Mrs. and Mrs. Alan and Patricia Parks. Parents of Adam Parks" answered the computer as Adam's parents went to stand next to him.
"Mr. Adam Hart, and Ms. Alice Hart-Hawkins. Parents of Kimberly Hart Parks" answered the computer as Kimberly's parents went to stand next to her and Adam
"Mr. and Mrs. Rockford and Carmella DeSantos the II. Parents of Rockford DeSantos the III" answered the computer as Rocky's parents went to stand next to him
"Dr. and Mrs. Stuart and Rachel Campbell. Parents of Aisha Campbell DeSantos" answered the computer as Aisha's parents went to stand next to her and Rocky.
"Mr. and Mrs. Gregory and Rentia Taylor. Parents of Zackary Taylor" answered the computer as Zack's parents went to stand next to him
"Mr. and Mrs. Yoshiro and Tia Kwan. Parents of Trini Kwan Taylor" answered the computer as Trini's parents went to stand next to her and Zack.
"Detective Jack and Linda Scott. Parents of Jason Lee Scott" answered the computer as Jason's parents went to stand next to him.
"Dr. Kevin Cranston. Father of William Cranston" answered the computer as Billy's dad came over to stand next to him and Jason.
"Well, I guess now that we have all been identified. Where is this infamous Danielle Marks?" asked Jack Scott.
As if on cue Danni stepped out of the shadows.
"Just exactly what have you been telling them about me handsome?" asked Danielle as she went to the stand before Jason's and Bill's parents. She stood her ground and looked them straight in the eyes, daring them to call her on what she called their son's. After a few awkward moments Jack extended his hand to Danielle which she took with a smile.
"So you designed and built this whole compound? I'd like a tour… if that is possible?" asked Kevin Cranston as he came up beside Danielle.
"Bill said you would ask that. I have no objections to your children taking you on a tour of the compound. Although there are a few places which are restricted." said Danielle "Now if you'll follow me I'll show you the way to the park."
As they all made their way to the park Jason came up beside Danielle "What did you mean by calling us handsome in front of our parents." asked Jason slightly annoyed at Danni for flaunting their relationship in front of his parents when he hadn't had a chance to even tell them about it yet.
Danielle could feel his annoyance with her and felt the same annoyance mixed with embarrassment coming from Bill. She pulled both men to the side and looked them both in the eyes, making sure they understood exactly what she was saying.
"Calm down Jas. They already suspect that you have feelings for me. Both of you." said Danielle as she looked over at Bill "I was just letting them know that I know about those feelings and don't have a problem with them."
"Do you think they know about the triad?" asked Jason.
"Not fully, but they have a feeling that sooner or later the three of us will enter into a relationship" answered Danielle truthfully. She had gotten shock and a little bit of anger from both of Jason's parents and confusion from Bill's father. But after they had seen the look in both their son's eyes as they looked at her they had all come to realized and were trying to except the fact that she would be in a relationship with both their son's.
"Jason, come on. I need your help starting the grill" called Jack Scott from ahead of them.
"Go ahead, handsome. I promise I'll behave from now on." said Danielle with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, right!" answered Jason then with a quick glance back at the two of them he went ahead to catch up with his dad.
"Danni, my dad...well he is…" stammered Bill.
"Bill, your father is much more opened minded than you give him credit for and all he wants is for you to be happy."
"Well he doesn't have to worry about that because I am very happy, with both of you." said Bill
"Good I'm glad, because I was worried about you for a while." answered Danielle truthfully.
Of the two of them she had been the most worried about Bill excepting her and the triad, she knew all the confusion that Bill had felt when he was younger trying to figure out who he was and then finally excepting the fact that he loved Jason. For a while she wasn't sure if he would be able to except his feelings toward her.
"Why?" asked Bill
"Bill, I know all the confusion you felt when you were younger. I also know that your first preference is Jason."
"I'm sorry Danni," said Bill quietly as he ducked his head.
She gently raised his head so he could look her in the eyes. "Don't be handsome, I'm willing to wait until you are ready" then she leaned in and gently lay a feather light kiss on both his lips. "And trust me. It will come when the time is right"
"Danni! You promised!" came Jason's anxious voice in her head.
"Sorry handsome, I just couldn't resist. Bill has such sad puppy dog eyes when he's upset" answered Danni with a wink at Bill.
"Yes, I know" came the longing reply from Jason "But I'm alone with my dad and it's a little embarrassing when you two do things like that without me."
"Oops sorry handsome. Do you want me to help you?" asked Danielle quickly.
"Can you?" asked Jason hopefully.
"Sure, brace yourself" said Danielle as she sent him an image that totally killed any passionate feelings he might have.
"Thanks Danni. Now both of you get here quick before they send the Calvary after you."
"On our way, chief. Come on handsome" called Danni as she started almost running down the corridor.
With a smile on his face Bill pulled himself together and followed Danni, maybe he should have asked her to send that image to both of them.
Jack watched as Danielle and Bill entered the park together. Granted she wasn't exactly what he had expected when Jason had first told them about her. Hell, if he was truthfully he didn't think she was what anyone expected. He vaguely remembered Danielle from when they'd first moved to Angel Grove. She had been a very small, quiet child. Always sitting on the side lines reading a book or doing something in a notebook.
With the memory of the young Danielle in his mind, he hadn't expected the grown up Danielle that Jason had told them about. Physically she was still small, slightly plump but not overly so, with dark brown hair that probably fell to her shoulders although he wasn't sure because at the moment she was wearing her hair in a high pony tail. She seemed to prefer oversized baggy clothes and had the prettiest blue-green eyes. She also eluded a quiet power that was almost overwhelming.
At first glance you would have said she was a quiet, sweet woman who was in her middle to late thirties. But as she proved when she stepped out of the shadows she has a backbone and wasn't afraid to stand up for what she thought was hers, and obviously she had a mind. Jason had said that Danielle designed and built this compound. By the looks of it there was some technology that was far advanced to anything he had seen.
Jack watched his son closely as Bill & Danielle talked and it was obvious to him that Jason was in love or as close to love as he had ever seen him. Oh he loved Bill, but he was also in love with Danielle. Jack had always thought that a man could only have one great love in his life but his son had just proven him wrong. Granted the love was different between what Jason felt for Bill, and what he felt for Danielle, but he loved both of them equally and absolutely. He was sure of that, he would bet his last dollar that if something happened to Danielle, Jason would try until his last breath to save her. As Bill and Danielle came over to them he once again saw Jason's face light up with pure delight that she was once again with him.
"The women are at the tables preparing the food if you want to help?" suggested Jack.
"No! Thank you. I don't cook as any of the team will attest to. That's why I put a replicator in every room." said Danielle
"Hey Danni, can you come help us?" called Aisha from the tables as she waved at the men sitting around the grill.
"Sure, be right there" called Danni as she gave both Jason and Bill a smile then left to be with the woman.
"Thanks, Aisha" said Jason softly mentally sending his message to her.
"No problem. I could feel the tension as soon as Danni walked up. Beside our moms are dying to get a try at her anyway."
"I heard that, Aisha" whispered Danni softly with a chuckle in her voice.
"Damn, sorry Danni" answered Aisha slightly apologetic.
"Don't worry handsome, I'll be alright. Just don't let your dad grill you too much; you have nothing to be ashamed of. Either of you" said Danni mentally as she sent that message to both Jason and Bill
"Oh believe me ashamed is the last thing we feel about you beautiful" answered Bill as both he and Jason sent her exactly the feelings they had for her.
"Guys!" exclaimed Danielle.
"Sorry beautiful," said both Jason and Bill without much conviction.
"No you're not, but I guess I deserved that." said Danielle as she closed down their mental connection.
"That was mean guys," said Kimberly angrily over their link.
"You heard?" asked Bill quickly.
"No, but I could tell Danni was upset, and when I saw her looking back towards the grill I figured it had to have come from one or both of you."
"Don't worry Kim, we'll make it up to her" answered Jason.
"You two had better. Danni has done a lot for all of us" said Kim in a huff as she closed the link.
Well Kim was right about one thing, they all did owe Danielle Marks an awful lot, especially Jason and Bill. When the food was ready everyone settled into an uneasy quiet as they ate their food. Each of the couples tried to engage their parents in idle talk but everyone knew that what they really wanted was to grill Danni about her relationship with their offspring's and the compound. After all the food was finished and the cleaned up done Zack pulled out a Frisbee and asked.
"Hey guys, look what I brought. Who wants a game?
"Why don't you guys go ahead Zack. I think it's time for us to have that parental talk." answered Danielle as she looked around at the different faces of her team.
She knew that each of them was worried about her. It was funny; she had been spending so much time with Bill and Jason trying to form the Triad that she had neglected the other members of her team. Well after all this was over she made a mental note to herself to spend more time with each of the other members of her team.
"Danni?" asked Kimberly with slight concern in her voice. Kimberly, always the compassionate one which caused Dannie to smile considering she was the elder of the team
"It's alright Kim. I'm sure your parents have a lot of questions for me."
"Now remember guys that we came into this of our own free will, knowing exactly what was expected of us." said Trini as she got up and stood beside Kim. Trini the diplomat was standing up for her to,
with a smile and a mental "Thank you for the support"
Danni got up and hugged both of them. "Don't worry guys, go have fun. If you get to hot or tired there is a swimming pool about a few meters past the field. Swimming suit and towels for all are in the changing rooms."
With several backwards glances everyone left for the field and soon Danni was left with nineteen very curious and concerned parents. As Danni returned to her seat, she took a drink of her soda and then looked at them all asking. "What do you want to know?"
"Well for one thing, just who the hell are you? When the boys told us I remembered you, and did some checking. Other than the fact that you moved to Angel Grove when you were eight years old with your older sister Antonia, I didn't find much." asked Jack Scott as he broke the ice.
"Jason told me to expect that. The reason you didn't find much about me is because I don't exist. Well not in this time anyway." smiled Danielle.
At their gasp and cursing Danielle raised her hand to stop any questions "I can assure you I am not an alien from another planet come to take over your children or your planet. I will willingly answer all your questions but I think some background might be in order first. Antonia." said Danielle as she stood up.
A brilliant white light flashed, then before her was a kneeling Antonia "Master"
"Toni, I need you to help me explain the Time Lords to the teams parents."
"Master?" asked Toni questionably as she stood.
"As you know recent events have left me in a weakened state. I would rather not explain to a certain pair if I overextended myself again." answered Danielle with a smile on her face
"Yes, Master" answered Toni knowingly. She also knew there would be hell to pay for Danni if William and Jason found out that she was fixing to do.
"If you all would hold hands and form a circle, I will explain everything." said Danielle as she moved from the chairs to an open space on the grass.
Everyone rose from their seats and joined hands forming a circle with Danielle at the head and Toni across from her. With a deep breath Danielle opened her mind and explained everything to nineteen very anxious parents. When everything was explained Danni broke the connection and sat down in her chair. That had been harder than she thought it would be, maybe she still needed to take it easy for a while longer.
Just then the team returned, some of them in their clothes, some still wearing their bath suits. At the look on their parent's faces each member went to their respective parents.
"Dad, what happened?" asked Tommy.
Taking a deep breath, Danielle replied from her chair "I think it might be wise if you all took your parents to your quarters and discussed what they just learned?"
"What did you tell them?" asked Rocky apprehensively.
"Everything, well almost everything. As I've told you all before knowledge is power. The more your parents know the better they will be able to support and assist you."
"But what if they ask…." said Kim
"You know all the answers to their questions Kim. You all are welcome to stay in the compound for as long as you wish. Either in your children's quarters, or there are adequate accommodations for each couple separately" answered Danni as she closed her eyes and leaned her head back.
In a second both Jason and Bill were at her side. "Danni?" asked Jason as he knelt down and put his hand on her forehead. Danni opened her eyes to look into the worried faces of both Jason and Bill.
"I'm alright guys, really. Go talk to your parents first then we will talk later." answered Danni quietly
At their worried looks Danni took both of their hands and placed them both over her heart, they relaxed a little when they realized that she was just tired.
"We'll talk more later, you rest" said Jason as he took her hand and kissed her fingers.
"Rest Danni, please" said Bill as he gently stroked her forehead.
"Don't worry guys, I will" said Danni truthfully, right now that's about all she could do.
With one more look at Danni, Jason and Bill led their parents out of the park. Each of the other members gave worried looks at Danni as they passed her leading their parents from the park.
Toni came over and stood beside Danni looking down at her Master. She wasn't happy about what Danni had asked her to do, and now she was worried that the effort had cost her what little strength she had been able to gained back.
"You know the council isn't going to like this." said Antonia quietly from behind her.
"Screw the council, I had my reasons." answered Danni weakly.
"Well I hope there good ones because you know there is going to be an inquiry when they find out what you just did"
"They are, and don't worry, I'll make sure there are no repercussion for the part you played in this."
"I wasn't worried about that Master."
"Liar," said Danielle softly as she once again closed her eyes.
For the rest of the evening Jason, Bill and the rest of the team spend the night in their respective quarters talking, sometimes cussing, and sometimes crying with their parents. In the end it was Linda Scott who left Jason and Bill's quarters in search of the young woman that was so much a part of her son's life. She finally found Danielle's quarters and quickly pushed the button
"Who is it?" asked a monotone voice.
"Linda Scott, Jason's mother"
"Come," and then the door slide open to allow Linda enter.
Danielle's quarters wasn't anything like Linda expected? Since she had told them she was a Time-Lord she expected all sorts of strange things and weird technology around, but her quarters looked just like anyone else's house would. A normal living room set, although she had to admit that some of the gadgets she saw were a little strange, but everything looked like it would for anyone of their century. She even had cats, she had seen a beautiful orange tabby sitting on the couch before the door had closed and scared it away.
"What can I do for you Mrs. Scott?" asked Toni as she emerged from what Linda suspected was Danielle's bedroom.
"You're Antonia, Right?" asked Linda.
"Yes ma'am. Danielle is resting right now," said Toni flatly.
"Stop protecting me Toni, I'm not an invalid. I'll be out in a minute Mrs. Scott," said Danni from the closed door.
A few minutes later Danielle emerged from the room wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Linda could tell she had been asleep because her hair was all tousled and she had a sleepy look around her eyes.
"You'll have to excuse my dress Mrs. Scott. I've been resting as instructed by your son, he can me most insistent" said Danielle as she walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Yes I know, especially when it comes to someone he cares about" said Linda as she sat down across from Danni.
She had said that to see what kind of reaction she would get out of the woman but all she got was a smile and a stare in return until finally Linda dropped her eyes.
"Would you like something to drink Mrs. Scott?" asked Toni quickly. She could feel the tension between the two women. Linda protecting her son, Danielle protecting her future mate.
"Yes, coffee please"
"Master?"
"A coke please Toni" answered Danni.
"Yes, Master" then Toni left the room, returning a few minutes later with a tray. She offered Linda her cup of coffee then Danielle her soda and left the room.
"Is she really your….Are you really her Master?" asked Linda as she looked toward the door where the young lady had disappeared behind.
"Antonia is a Time-Lord like myself," answered Danni as she took a drink
"But she calls you Master?"
"Toni takes my title a little too seriously sometimes. I am a Master Time-Lord and a member of the Time Lord High Council. The best way to describe my relationship with Toni is she's my intern."
"Oh. Sort of like a Time-Lord in training?"
With a smile Danielle replied "You could call her that. Now what can I do for you Mrs. Scott? I know that Jason and Bill explained everything very thoroughly to you and your husband."
"Yes, everything except your relationship with our son and his partner." asked Linda blatantly
"Ah yes, well… that is a work in progress at this time"
"But you care about both of them don't you?"
"Mrs. Scott, may I be honest with you?" asked Danni.
"Please do."
"I care for your son and his partner very much, but I would never come between his first love. When we enter into this relationship it will be at their speed and their terms"
"But there will be a relationship? A threesome I believe it's called?"
"We prefer triad, but yes. Eventually a triad will be formed."
"Well, I can't say I'm exactly happy about it but if it makes Jason happy, and Bill's ok with it"
"That's something you will have to ask them?"
"Oh we have, and both of them say that it's what they want"
"Then I don't understand the reluctance? " asked Danielle questionably.
"Well you have to understand that after all we have found out today, Jack and I can't help but feel that you're just using them for some grand scheme you have going on"
"And you want some reassurance from me that I'm not using your son? Is that it?" asked Danielle. Now she finally understood the feelings that she was getting from all three adults.
"Yes, I guess that's what we're asking. But I guess we will just have to take you at your word"
"Not necessarily, if you will permit me. I can give you both all the assurance that you need." said Danielle as she stood up. "Do you trust me?" asked Danielle as she went over and stood in front of Linda.
"I think so?" said Linda hesitantly.
"That's enough for now, watch and learn" said Danni as she opened up her heart to Jack and Linda Scott plus Kevin Cranston. As the feelings flooded her she realized the depth of Danielle's true feelings towards both men, as the last emotions flooded her Danielle pulled back and staggered a little, then sat down heavily on the couch.
"I'm sorry, I guess I'm not as strong as I thought I was right now," said Danielle weakly as leaned back against the couch.
"No it's I that should be me apologizing to you. Jason and Bill said you had been through a very traumatic time recently and that you were still recovering, but we had to know."
"I understand, a mother's love." said Danni weakly.
"Well Jason is my son, and we've known Bill since his mother passed away."
"Yes, I know of that. I thank you for taking care of both him and his father during that traumatic time."
"Well they are both very special men,"
"I'm sure they are and I look forward to getting to know all of you better, but for now…" said Danielle with a sigh in her voice.
"Oh of course, here let me help you" said Linda as she came over and helped Danielle rise from the couch and then walked with her towards her bedroom.
As soon as the door opened Toni was at her other side assisting Danielle to the bed, they both settled her in and then Linda stood beside the bed looking down at the woman who had captured her son's heart.
"Don't worry Mrs. Scott, she will be alright. She just needs to rest," said Toni as she came up behind the woman.
She wasn't sure what had happen but she could tell that Danielle had another fierce protector, plus she could just feel two more minds concerned for her safety. It always amazed her how Danielle could be so brash and harsh one minute and the next have everyone rallying around her. She was one very special Time Lord and she was honored to work with her.
At Toni's smile Linda left Danielle's quarter and returned to quarters she was sharing with Jack. They had all decided that it might be best if they had separate quarters of their own while they stayed at the compound. Everyone had a lot to talk about and most of it was best done it private
Most of the parents left the next afternoon but Dr. Campbell had insisted on examining Danielle before he left. He had seen the exhausted look on her face after she had explained everything to them and he just wanted to be sure that she was alright. Jack Scott and Kevin Cranston had to return to work but Linda Scott insisted on staying until she was absolutely sure Danielle was alright.
Over the next few days all Danni was allowed to do was work in the computer lab or rest in her quarters or the park. She had been banished from the training session and even the holodeck because they were afraid she would overtax herself again. She had finally talked Jason and Billy into letting her get some exercise in the pool and that was where Linda Scott found her on the last day of her stay in the compound.
Danielle had been doing some light exercises in the pool and finished with laps and was now laying in a lounge chair soaking up some sun. She had her lap top computer on a table beside her playing music. Linda hoped she was disturbing her but she really wanted to talk to Danni before she left.
"Danielle?" asked Linda as she came and stood in front of the young woman
"Oh Mrs. Scott, what can I do for you?"
"I just wanted to check on you one last time before I left and see how you are feeling?" said Linda as she sat down on the chair beside her.
"I am doing much better, and I wanted to thank you for staying the extra few days to help take care of me."
"You're welcome; you're almost practically one of the family" said Linda as she stood up.
"Mrs. Scott," said Danielle as she sat up.
"Don't you think it's time you called me Linda?"
"Yes, I guess it is about time. Look Linda, I promise to take care of Jason and Bill as best I can."
"I know you will, well, I guess it's time for me to go."
"Oh Linda, wait. One more thing," said Danielle as she pulled out a box from under her chair and handed Linda two silver badges.
"What are these?" asked Linda as she looked down at the items in her hand.
"Those are comm badges. I made one for each member of the team so they could teleport into the compound anytime they needed to. Now I think it's time you and Jack had one as well."
"Oh thank you, how do you work them?"
"Just hold them in your hand and concentrate on the compound then press the middle of the badge and you will be transported here anytime you wish."
"You and Jack as well as Kevin are welcome here anytime."
"Thank you, that means a lot to us."
"It was never my intention to isolate your children from you or any of the other parents. I've recently realized that is what has happened and I'm trying to get the team to relax more and spend time outside the compound. It will be easier now that you and the other parents now know about the compound."
"You all are welcome anytime you wish and with the holodeck you are able to go anywhere you wish."
"I look forward to experiencing that. Take care of yourself please Danielle" said Linda as she looked at the woman then pulled her into her arms.
