"Are we really staying here?" Kim asked as Tommy grimaced. He wasn't sure that he wanted to team up with anyone, but from what he had heard- they could use some help with this world. There were things that would be after them aside from Lipretere and that was not something either of them had bargained for. They lived with Power Ranger problems, not vampires and werewolves being real. "Tommy- really?"
"I don't know, but at least for tonight- there's a warm bed and food. That's more than we've had in the past," Tommy said as he tossed her the larger shirt and she stripped without putting it on. He took her in before averting his gaze. There was no point in staring at something that he couldn't have anymore. "Oh c'mon Kim- that's just playing dirty."
"Should have kept your dick to yourself or you'd still have a chance," Kim spat out as she climbed into the bed and he climbed in on the other side and laid on top of the sheets. The last time this had happened- they'd had sex and then not talked for three years. He was not going to repeat that mistake, even if it was the comfort she wanted from him right now. He knew all of her tricks when it came to getting things out of him that he wouldn't normally be willing to do.
"You know I would've never done that if I hadn't been evil. I've tried. I've explained that Mesogogg meant for me to break you and that I fought to get out of the evil, but couldn't break it on my own. I couldn't break out of it until I had broken you and I hate myself for that. I've forgiven you for what you've done when you were evil. Can you just stop bringing this shit up?" Tommy said as he stared at the ceiling and heard her let out a sigh. "I just want to keep you safe and get you home and then you can go back to pretending like you don't still love me too."
"Fuck you."
"I'll see what I can find, but I doubt there is any lore on the Power Rangers and what side they fall on," Bobby said as he pulled out various ancient texts and Dean settled on the couch. Sam was busily clacking away on his computer. All of them were still stunned by what they had seen Tommy do. Sam had been able to do that- while hyped up on demon blood. This man had landed in the middle of the field and was already a more adept hunter than most would ever be.
"I think they fall on their side, Bobby. They just want to get back home and whatever is coming after them must pack one hell of a punch to yank them from one universe to another," Dean muttered as he shook his head. He did not like this. There was already too much that was going on and adding in two civilians to the mix was not something that they needed. Sure, the two of them had fighting skills that exceeded most people, but they didn't understand monsters. Their monsters were aliens- unless that bit of the show was wrong too. There was too much going on right now for them to be babysitters.
"Until they can get home though…everything is going to want that kind of power," Bobby muttered and Dean nodded. It was the one thing that all of them could agree upon, even Crowley had agreed before he had shagged ass out of there. Apparently Power Rangers also made demons uncomfortable. "Hell- we could use that kind of power."
"They've been used for that before, Bobby. It doesn't feel right asking them to do that in exchange for…what? Our protection? They don't need our protection," Sam said as they both looked over at him. "I know. They are weapons and I want to use them that way. But we're not set up to deal with whatever came through with them. We have more of a target on our backs because they're here."
"We're not going to give them $500 dollars, a stolen car, and some scammed credit cards and toss them out to survive," Dean interjected as he glanced between Sam and Bobby. He might not want to babysit, but he also didn't want to send an armed nuke out into their world either. "Bobby- back me up on this."
"If they're not going to be an asset- what other choice do we have? We're not exactly in a place to babysit them with the shit that Cas is pulling. Whatever that is," Bobby grumbled as Dean growled. "Boy…I know you don't like it, so you better be ready to convince them that hunting our monsters is what they should do while Lipretere is looking for them. We've got to be seen as helping them stay alive."
"How can we pitch in?" Tommy's voice broke into the room and they all spun around to face him. How had he snuck up on them? "I've infiltrated hundreds of buildings in my time- with beings that could detect my breath. It's not hard to sneak up on you."
"You think she's going to come around?" Dean asked as Tommy shrugged. He knew that Kim would keep herself alive, but she was just as likely to abandon them until Lipretere came for her again. "Why not?"
"She's not as active in the Power Ranger world. She's only active when something comes after her like Lipretere and it is only until we defeat that being. I…I didn't just cheat on her. There's a lot that happened that time I was evil," Tommy stated as they looked at him with understanding. "You're not going to ask what I did?"
"I was possessed by Lucifer- it doesn't get much more evil than that," Sam said as Tommy stared at him. Lucifer? Like the devil, Lucifer? "I also didn't have a soul for a bit, so I had no moral compass at all. Your evil sounds a lot less...drastic...with that being in my past."
"And I thought my life was fucked up," Tommy muttered as Sam and Dean jerked around to face him. "What do you need from us?"
"What can you do?" Bobby asked as Tommy shook his head and gave him a wry smile. "Is it better to ask what you can't do?"
"I don't know the rules in this world. We've been pretty powerful in any world that we've gone to where our powers come with us, but we've never been to a world like this before. We could be stronger than anything you've ever met or there could be wild consequences for everything we do. We'll have to figure it out as we go," Tommy stated as they all noted his candor and his confidence. He wasn't going to try to fool them, but he was still a bit of a loose cannon. "When Lipretere comes for us- you don't want to be anywhere near it."
"We don't scare easily," Dean said as Tommy shook his head. They didn't have powers to protect themselves and Lipretere would tear through them like they were nothing.
"This is different. You have your expertise- I have mine. I can help you and you may be able to help us. Ultimately though, I just want to get Kim back to our world and let her go on about the life she wants to live," Tommy said as he turned to walk back out of the room. He needed rest, but he also needed to know that they weren't going to just abandon them to this world. "Think on it and let me know the price. I'll see what I can do to get Kim on our side."
AN: Poll for the readers- what are you 'essential' Power Rangers Episodes from MMPR, Zeo, and Dino Thunder? Say you had 10 episodes (total) to encapsulate the most important parts from those of three teams - what would they be? Let me know in a comment or feel free to private message me. There *may* be an episode where Tommy and Kimberly get to watch Power Rangers in the works. ;)
