Power Ranger Triad

Chapter 9

Author's Notes: scene with m/m sex implied, scene with m/m/f sex implied.

It had been almost a year since the Universal Power Rangers had been formed and in that time everyone made great strides. All of their specialized trainings were completed, and with the exception of daily training most of the team members were spending all of their days working in their specialized areas in the compound. Zack and Kimberly were in charge of the communication systems, Jason the defense systems, Adam & Trini the medical facility, Tommy was structure and maintenance, Aisha was environmental controls, and Rocky & Kat were food service, which left Danielle & Bill in the science department.

The relationship side of the group had also gotten stronger with everyone feeling that they had a very strong and secure bond with both each other and Danielle. Jason and Bill had also made strides in their relationship, although neither of them were very publicly demonstrative, they felt secure enough in their feelings for each other that they began to talk about wanting to bring Danielle more into their relationship. They'd each spent time alone and together with Danni and neither one felt threatened or jealous of the time the other spent with her.

So it was during one of the rare times they had a group event that Danni wasn't there that Jason and Bill brought up the subject. Days earlier there had been a small accident while Danni was helping Tommy with a maintenance problem and she'd suffered some minor burns and smoke inhalation. Dr. Campbell had told her to take a few days off and rest in her quarters so that's where she was when Jason brought up the subject to the rest of the group. They were in the park having a family picnic with everyone and their parents.

"Uhhhhhh….guys, can we ask you all something?" asked Jason as he stood up in front of the group.

"Alright guys, quiet down. Jason has a question. Go ahead Jas?' said Jack as he raised his voice above the others.

"Well as you all know Bill and I have been in a relationship for over a year now"

"And about damn time too bro" said Tommy with a smile.

"Yeah well, all of you know why Danni came to Angel Grove and about us forming the triad to fight the upcoming threat"

"Yes, go on" said Yoshiro Kwan.

When they had first meet Danielle she had told them of her purpose here on earth, the forming of the Universal Power Rangers and of her, Jason Scott and Bill Cranston's impending formation of a triad that was supposed to help save the earth from its latest threat. Now while he hadn't been that surprised that Jason and Bill were to become a couple, he'd known the boys since they moved to Angel Grove when Trini was eight, he'd been a little surprised that they would make it a threesome and include a woman. He'd always had a sensed that both Jason and Bill leaned towards male preferences. Now that he had gotten to know the young men and Danielle better he really hoped that they all would be happy whenever the triad was formed.

"Well for the past year or so Bill and I, along with everyone, have been getting to know Danni better and now Bill and I are thinking of taking our relationship with Danni to the next step"

"Which is what exactly?" asked Linda Scott.

"Well you see mom….we huh…" stammered Jason.

"We want to ask for her to marry us Linda," said Bill as he came to stand beside Jason.

"All right bro! Way to go!" said Tommy as he jumped up and slapped Jason and then Bill on the back.

"Congratulations! Boys," said Gregory Taylor as he came over and shook each of their hands.

"Thanks everyone. The problem is since she's a Time Lord, just who do we ask, if anyone?" said Jason.

"Well I'm sure Antonia would know" said Aisha.

"Of course!, why didn't we think of that" exclaimed Bill.

"Just a little preoccupied at the moment I'd say Jas" teased Rocky.

"Antonia Marks, to Jason Scott" said Jason as he touched his comm badge.

"Antonia here Jason, what's up?" she replied over the comm.

"Could you come to the park please, we need to talk to you" added Bill

"Sure thing, on my way" replied Toni and a second later she appeared before the group in the park.

"Toni, you remember our parents. Everyone this is Antonia Marks. Danielle's supposedly older sister" said Jason with a smile.

"How do you do. Now what's up Jason? I was finishing up a report for Danni that she was working on before she got hurt."

"How's she doing by the way Jason?" asked Stuart. He had treated her the day of the accident but hadn't seen her since.

"She's resting in her quarters, or at least she'd better be" replied Jason.

"She is, last time I checked on her she was asleep." answered Antonia she knew it was only her

promise to check on Danni that kept Jason and Bill from trying to sneak into her quarters and check on her themselves.

"Well as you know… We are working on…" started Jason but was cut off by a very excited Zackary.

"They want to ask Danni to marry them!" answered Zack for him.

"Zack!" cried Kimberly.

"ALL RIGHT!" exclaimed Antonia loudly.

"Toni! Calm down. Danni might be asleep but I'm sure she can still sense when you get excited like that!"

"Oops…. Sorry guys. I'm just so happy for you all."

"Thanks Toni. Well we were wondering if there was someone we should ask for Danni's hand in marriage?" asked Bill.

"Well normally you would ask the Time Lord High Council but since they were the ones that sanctioned the forming of the triad in the first place. In a way they've already given their approval." answered Antonia

"So now manly it's just asking her?" asked Bill.

"Basically yes, and the wedding…" started Toni.

"Hold on Toni. We haven't even asked her yet" said Jason quickly.

"Well I'm sure she'll say yes! I have some great ideas for the wedding."

"Uhh…yeah Danni's told us about your ideas Toni. I think we'll have all the help we need right here" said Jason with a weary smile.

"As you wish, but remember I'm available if you need me" replied Toni as she turned to leave.

"Uhh… Actually Toni, there is one thing. Our culture tends to frown on multiple people marrying, so do you think that the Time Lord Council would officiate our wedding?" asked Bill.

"I'm sure they would do it gladly. You just get a yes out of Danni and I'll arrange everything with the council." said Toni with a smile then left.

"So that's settled, now. Do you have the ring?" asked Aisha.

"How are you going to ask her?" said Kimberly.

"Ladies, why don't we leave all those detail between Jason, Bill and Danni? But you guys know that you'll have lots of help when you need it." said Alice Hart-Hawkins.

"Oh Yes ma'am, now all we have to do is get the ring and then get a yes out of Danni" said Jason.

"Well, I don't know about the first part boys. But the second should be a snap" said Jack jokingly as they all gathered round to congratulate the boys.

During the next two weeks Jason and Bill discovered Danielle's ring size and then went shopping for a ring. They chose a medium size tear-drop size diamond with ten small diamonds circling the center stone. For the wedding band the wanted something that symbolized the joining of three into one so they found a jeweler that could combine silver, gold and bronze into a braided band for the three of them.

The rings took a while to make but after they finally picked them up Jason and Bill started thinking about ways they wanted to ask Danni to marry them. At first they considered taking Danni out and asking her at a restaurant but they weren't sure about the scene they might make. Then they thought of the holodeck but in looking through all of the holodeck programs they couldn't find one that they like.

Soon it became a redundant matter because just about that time the Veyetas sent a recon team to scout out earth defenses and the Universal Power Rangers had their first baptism by fire. The fight lasted a little longer than everyone would have liked, but the outcome was positive with minimal damage to the Zords and very little damage to the pilots. Mostly scrapes and bruises. But that meant Danni spent 18 or more hours a day working in the docking bays repairing the Zords. She'd agreed to let Tommy and Bill work on the structural repairs of the Zords but that still left all the electrical and computer work for her.

Jason and Bill kept tabs on her just to make sure she ate and rested. It was during one of her rare "rest" periods that they found her in the park. She was sitting in the patio area at one of the shaded tables with her computer when the guys walked up.

"That better not be schematics for the Zords you're working on, you're supposed to be resting Danielle" said Billy as he came over and put his hands on her shoulders. Instantly he could feel the tightness of the muscles in her shoulders and neck and started gently messaging her neck.

She sighed softly and leaned into his hands saying "It's not. I got a request to go over some schematics for a prototype the air force is considering"

"Danni!" exclaimed Jason "You're supposed to be relaxing!"

"What? This is relaxing for me, Jason. But if it bothers you I'll work on it later."

"Thank you, we need to talk to you about something anyway" said Bill as he leaned over and kissed her neck

"Whoohoo…. I'm all you're handsome" said Danni as she shutdown her lap top and closed it.

"You better believe it, beautiful." said Jason as he pulled a chair over and sat down in front of her, Bill came around and sat down beside Jason both of them taking one of her hands.

"Danni as you know we both have feelings for you that have been getting stronger over the last few years." started Jason

"Well yeah Jason, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen you two for the Triad."

"Danni, don't be difficult" asked Bill seriously.

Jason and Bill were serious about something and were having a hard time expressing it to her. She'd seen them a lot of ways in the past few months but this was kind of refreshing. To know her men weren't confidant about something, and it concerned her.

"Sorry guys, go on."

"Well as I was saying over the past few months we've spent a lot of time together both as a threesome and in pairs, and we think that we've gotten to know the real Danielle Marks pretty well and we were wondering if….." continued Bill.

Danni smiled as she looked over at Bill, he was really nervous because he had reverted to his "techno babble" "Jason, Bill just spit out whatever it is you want to ask" said Danni.

"This isn't exactly how we had planned it but…." said Jason as he and Bill pulled Danni to her feet, then knelt down before her. "Danielle Marks, would you do us the honor of marrying us?"

Danni looked between both men kneeling before her and then to the ring box they both held.

"Are you both absolutely sure you want this?" asked Danni as she took the box with slightly shaking hands.

"With all our hearts, will you marry us Danni" asked Bill as he took the ring and slipped it on her finger.

"Of course I will!" answered Danni as she threw herself at both of them. They landed in a tangled pile of arms and legs on the grassy area just off the patio. "You had doubts?"

"Not really doubts, just concerns" answered Jason as he tried to sit up but was wrestled down again by Danni.

"Well let me alleviate any doubts, or concerns either of you might have" replied Danni as she flipped Jason on his back and let him experience the full force of the passion she felt for both of them. Jason was shocked at first, then became engrossed in the title wave of passion that he felt, but soon, and with great reluctance he pulled back and broke away from Danni.

"Danni" whispered Jason breathing hard "It's not that we don't want this to continue but don't you think it might be better if it were somewhere a little more private?" It had taken all his willpower to stop, but he knew that neither of them wanted their first time to be somewhere public were there was the possibility of getting caught. So for now he took several deep breaths trying to calm the raging passion that was filling all three of them.

"You're right Jas, I'm sorry. I just got carried away" said Danni blushing as she got up and went over to the table to get a drink of water.

"Oh don't be sweet, remember it wasn't just you that got carried away" said Bill as he came over beside her. He took a bottle from the table and took a long drink.

"So, we can take that as a yes?" asked Jason as he came over beside the two.

Bill and Danni looked at each other and with mischievous looks on their face threw the water bottles they'd been drinking at Jason

"Hey!" yelled Jason as it splashed his shirtfront.

"Maybe that will cool you down" said Bill.

"And what if I don't want to be "cooled down" replied Jason seductively.

"Oh I can take care of that" said Danni as she came over beside him and started grinding herself into his front.

"Danni!" exclaimed a very frustrated Bill from behind them.

"Sorry guys, but we're either going to have to finish this soon or spend a lot of time apart. I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out" said Danni as she broke away from Jason.

"But you once said…." started Jason

"I know what I once said, but things have changed. Even a Master Time Lord can stand just so much. So it's your choice, do we form the Triad before or after the wedding. You two think about it and make the decision, it won't be easy but I'll abide by your decision either way." said Danni as she went to each of them, giving them a chase kiss on the cheek then picked up her computer and left the park.

Bill and Jason watched Danni leave the park and then went over to the table she had just vacated.

"Well, looks like we need to do a little more talking" smiled Jason.

"Affirmative" replied Bill.

That evening Danielle was noticeable absent from dinner but the others could tell by the goofy looks on Jason and Bill's face that something had happened. After a relatively quiet dinner, everyone lingered at the table until finally Kimberly broke the silence with the question everyone had been wondering but too afraid to ask.

"You did it didn't you, you asked Danni to marry you?"

At the grin on both their faces, the girls squealed, Kimberly immediately comming Danni "Danielle Marks, to Kimberly Parks."

"Danielle here Kim, what can I do for you?" asked Danni as she sat up a little straighter on her couch. She knew that everyone was in the Commissary eating dinner and from the excited sound of Kimberly's voice the guys had either told her or they'd figured out what had happened earlier.

"The guys just told us, why aren't you here so we can celebrate?"

"Are Jason and Bill with you?" asked Danni nervously.

"Yes, of course! Why?"

"Then I can't Kim. See if you can get one them to explain, but for now. I really, really can't. I think it's better for all parties concerned if I stayed away from the guys for a little while until things…uh... cool down" laughed Danni nervously and then closed the com link quickly before Kim could protest.

When com link closed Kimberly rounded on the guys her eyes full of fury. "Just what in heaven's name did you do to the poor girl!"

"Hold on Kim, why do you think it was Jason or Bill that did something to Danni?" asked Tommy

"Because I know these two. If Danni had done something they wouldn't be standing here right now." said Kimberly with her hands on her hips.

"She has a point Tommy, but you've it all wrong Kimmy. Neither of us did anything to anyone, things just got a little out of hand after she accepted our proposal." said Bill with a shy smile and a slight blush to his face.

"Out of hand how? ... Oh my god! You three didn't…. ?" exclaimed Kimberly as her face blushed a deep red.

"No, but it was a close call for all of us but the gentlemen in us prevailed. Danni told us to decide if we wanted to form the Triad before, or wait until after the wedding." said Jason slightly blushing.

"And what did you say?" exclaimed Kimberly excitedly.

"That! My dear wife is between Jason, Bill and Danni" replied Adam as he pulled his wife towards the doors of the Commissary "Oh by the way, Congratulations guys!" called Adam as the doors closed.

The others added their "Congratulations" and left the commissary, once again leaving Bill and Jason to contemplate the mysteries of their future wife.

Later that night Jason and Bill tried to sleep but all they both felt was the powerful wave of passion that flowed through both of them every time they thought of Danni. After several hours of restless tousling and even the release of their own frustrations, they both dressed and headed towards Danni's quarters. When they reached her quarters, Jason sent a mental request and received the lock code to her door. They entered to find Danni sitting on her couch wrapped in a blanket, when she stood the blanket fell to the floor revealing a short peach silk chemise.

"Danni we…"

"It's alright guys were all adults and you've obviously made your decision… so let's just…" said Danni as she held out her hands.

Both men look at each other, and then moved toward Danni, each taking an outstretched hand. Danni led them into her bedroom, where all three rode the wave of passion that culminated in the forming of the Triad.

From then on, Jason and Bill divided their time between Danni's quarters and their own. Spending most of their time in Danni's, sometimes altogether, other times in pairs. As soon as they rest of the team discovered their living arrangements, they started thinking about the wedding. It was during one of their weekly get together that the wedding plans were brought up.

Danni had finished most of the repairs to the Zords but started making the improvements that were suggested during their test flights. Once again that meant she spent close to 18 or more hours working in the docking bay, but this time Jason and Bill watched her very closely. She had gotten overly tired and almost gotten hurt again so they insisted that she take some time off and relax.

When they arrived at the park Jason and Bill insisted that Danni sit in a lawn chair under an umbrella by the picnic area. By the time the rest of the team members and parents arrived she'd fallen asleep. Bill did a light surface check to make sure she was all right and then started helping Jason with the grill.

"Is she all right?" asked Stuart as he came over to the couple.

At first glance he hadn't seen Danni and was afraid that she was sick in her quarters, but then he noticed her sitting in the lawn chair asleep. He'd gone directly over to her and stood over the young woman staring at her. She was a conflict of appearances, outwardly looking so small and fragile, but inside with the toughness of an army of men. He knew it would take both Jason and Bill to keep up with her and he just hopped they were up to the task.

"Yes she's fine Stuart, just exhausted. She's been putting in 18 or more hours a day working on the Zords" replied Bill as he looked over at Danni, she was still asleep but he could tell she would awake up soon.

"I thought you said they had been repaired after the battle?" asked Kevin.

"Oh they have. Danni has been making some improvements based on some suggestions we made after our test flights."

"Well if she still needs help. I'll be more than glad to lend a hand" replied Kevin.

"Thanks dad, I'll let her know. Now how about we get the food started so we can eat sometime today." answered Bill.

It was about an hour later when Danni started to awaken; Bill was the first to feel her, and nodded for Jason to go over and be with her when she woke up. Surprisingly Jason still felt the shyest expressing his feelings for Danni in public so Bill gave him every opportunity that he could to spend time with her. Jason was sitting beside her when she opened her eyes and smiled at him.

"Hiya handsome" whispered Danni.

"Hiya beautiful" answered Jason as he got up and gave her a kiss, it started out soft but soon turned passionate.

"Whoohoo!" exclaimed Rocky.

"Get a room you two!" said Tommy.

"Bill how can you stand there and watch them do that? Doesn't it bother you?" asked Kat.

"No, it can be quiet enjoyable even without the physical contact" replied Bill with a sly smile.

"TMI little bro….way to much TMI" said Tommy.

"Sorry guys, I'll behave" said Danni as she untangled herself from Jason and stood in front of him giving him extra time to compose himself.

"It's not just you my dear that needs to learn how to BEHAVE themselves Danni" replied Linda with a stern look at her son and his partner. She had heard that the three of them had consummated their relationship and knew what the first blushes of passion in a new relationship felt like but there was a time and place for everything and now was not the time.

"Yes ma'am" said Bill.

"Yes mom" replied Jason.

With a clearing of his throat, David Hillard brought everyone's attention back to the picnic "So, who is ready to eat?" he asked clapping his hands.

"I am," said Kat.

"Let's eat," answered Zack.

"Let me at it," said Rocky as he made his way to the picnic table.

Linda stayed where she was, and as Danni passed she put a hand on her arm "Are you sure your all right Danni? You still look awfully tired."

"I'm fine really Linda. I've just been working long hours on the Zords lately but the guys are taking very good care of me."

"Well they'd better be, and I know for a fact that Kevin would love to help"

"I may take him up on that, and you know that you're welcome to help with anything you'd like anytime you like"

"Thanks Danni that would be nice. After all you're going to be my daughter-in-law pretty soon" smiled Linda as she put her arm around Danni's shoulders.

They walked the short distant to the tables and Jason and Bill made room between them for her to sit, Linda squeezed her arm and smiled and then sat down beside Jack. The rest of the day was spent sitting around talking about the wedding. It was decided that they would have the wedding in the park and the reception on the patio area. Since it was going to be a fairly private affair there weren't going to have many guests so the maintenance bots could adjust the patio area. There were a few close friends that the others had told, but for the most part it would be just the parents.

It was also agreed upon that the girls were to be Danni's bridesmaids, while Antonia was her maid of honor. Tommy was Jason & Bill's best man, which left Zack, Adam and Rocky as groomsmen. It was scheduled that all the ladies were to go out next week to help Danni pick a dress. After a full afternoon of making wedding plans Danni was more exhausted that if she had worked on the Zords in the docking bay.

"Guys, I hate to sound like a party pooper but I think I need a break from all of this. Can we call it a night and pick up again later?" asked Danni wearily.

"Oh Danni, were sorry. Of course we can stop now, are you sure you feel alright?" asked Alice Hart-Hawkins.

"I'm fine Ms. Hawkins, really. I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed by it all right now. I thought things were going to be so much easier after I married Jason and Bill."

"Oh it will be sweet, just getting there is the hardest part" smiled Tonya Parks.

After that everyone said their goodbyes and left the park leaving Danni, Jason and Bill alone in the patio area. While everyone left Danni had gone back to the lawn chair and was lying down when Jason and Bill came over to her.

"Danni?" asked Jason as he sat down on the edge of the chair beside her. She was looking a little pale and worn out. He wondered if maybe he should call Stuart back and have him take a look at her after all.

"I'm fine Jason. It's just the enormity of everything that has been going on has finally hit me. I can't believe I've been doing all this by myself"

"Well you're not alone now and you don't have to be unless you want to." said Bill as he came over beside the two of them.

"I know Bill, and I appreciate everything that you guys have done for me. But I've been on my own for such a long time now, I'm not sure I know any other way."

"Then we will teach you our dearest Master." replied Jason as he took Danielle's hands and pull her to her feet "The first thing a good leader must do is surround themselves with good people"

"Which you have done" said Bill.

"Then you must trust your people and delegate some of the responsibilities. It does the team no good if it's leader is unable to lead." answered Jason

"I do trust you Jason, both of you. But so much is at stake, and it has been solely my responsibility for so long"

"But it's not any more Danni. Now that the Triad has been permanently formed we both fully understand what's at stake if this fails. All we're asking is that you let us, and the others, help when we can."

"I'm sorry guys," whispered Danni as she leaned against Jason's chest.

"Don't be Danni." answered Bill as he took her hands "We know it won't happen overnight, but at least don't shut us out. A very wise and beautiful woman once told us to use the resources we had available."

"Oh really, I wonder what ever happened to her?" asked Danni teasingly.

"We asked her to marry us."

"And what was her answer?"

"Why yes, of course!"

"She is one smart lady."

"You better believe it. Now how about we take that smart lady to bed" said Jason with a sly smile on his face.

"Uh… Jason. As much as I'd like that idea, I just don't think I have the strength for it tonight. I really am very tired."

"Then we will take you to bed and just cuddle if that what you need Danni. It doesn't have to be sex every night you know" said Bill

"Just so long as you don't stop the hot and heavy all together" replied Danni as she put her arms around both men's waist.

"Oh don't worry; there is no chance of that. Not with Casanova here."

"Casanova! I'll show you Casanova" said Jason as he broke away from Danni and started chasing Bill, who had taken off as soon as he finished talking.

Danni smiled at them both calling after them "Boys!"

When they reached Danni's quarters, she asked to take a shower first and "alone" which received a groan from both Jason and Bill.

"And what are we supposed to do in the mean time?" asked a pouting Jason.

To which Danni smiled and replied, "You're both smart boys, think of something" then she gave each a quick kiss on the cheek and headed to their bedroom.

Twenty minutes later Danni called "I'm out!" to which Bill headed straight towards the bathroom to take a cold shower, if he and Jason were going to just "hold" Danni he was going to need to "cool off" quickly.

Bill stripped off his clothes quickly and stepped into the cool spray of water only to find a few minutes later a pair of very hot hands wrapping around his waist. He was spun around and soon found a pair of equally hot lips trying to devour his face

"Oh Jason, please….what about Danni?" moaned Bill

"And how is she going to find out?" whispered Jason

"The same way I find out most things" answered Danni through their link. Jason and Bill jumped apart so fast that Jason hit his head on the wall and Bill received a face full of cold water.

Sputtering Bill replied "That wasn't very nice Danielle"

"Neither was Jason's little rendezvous just now either. But just because I'm dead tired doesn't mean you two have to deprive yourselves. I give you permission to continue."

"Oh thank you so very much!" replied Jason sarcastically.

"Jason! What about you Danni?" asked Bill his voice full of worry.

"Don't worry handsome. I may be dead tired but I can still block you both, so have your fun and then come to bed whenever you are finished. I could use a couple of pairs of strong arms around me about now"

"You got them sweetheart, now and forever" replied Jason as he sent her a reminder of his love for her

"I'll hold you too that Jas. Right now take care of each other and I'll be here when you're done" said Danni as she closed the link then laid down on their bed and promptly went to sleep.

It was almost an hour later when Jason and Bill finally made their way out of the bathroom to find Danni curled up asleep in the middle of the bed.

"Well, I guess she couldn't wait" said Jason as he knelt on the side of the bed.

"Jas, she really is exhausted. I'm worry about her?" said Bill as he crawled in on the other side of the bed and brushed her forehead. She felt slightly warm, but not overly, so but still it worried him.

"I know, let's watch her tonight and see what happens. We can always call Stuart in the morning if she gets worse." said Jason as he lay down beside Danni and pulled her to his chest. She quickly spooned up to him, which seemed to be her favorite position. Bill wrapped his arms around both of them and the trio slept soundly through the night
