Part 7 of this fic. Not sure if it really does fit under the prompt #, but that's the best place for it I think.

list of 22: losing control



While Jason struggled against his bonds in the cage that Billy had him shackled to; the other Rangers were at wits end trying to track Jason down. Tommy had taken Jason’s abduction harder than the rest of the team. He kept berating himself as if he could have moved fast enough to stop a teleport that had already started. He was at the Command Centre every free moment, as he tried to track down where Jason could have been hidden from them.

If Tommy only knew that Billy had hidden Jason right under their noses, well feet he’d have kicked himself for his lack of seeing what had been laid right in front of him the whole time. Billy had Jason in one of the lower chambers of the Command Centre, safely cloaked from the scanners a few meters over their heads. Billy had rigged up a video feed so he could watch the action overhead and enjoy the torture that Tommy had put himself through since he’d abducted Jason a few days prior. He looked over to his captor who was stonily silent while Billy stalked around his cage.

“Jason, you’ve been so quiet today. It’s only been a couple of days since I took you from Tommy. Are you going to resort to silence until they find you? Or do you still think that I’ll come to my senses and stop this?” Billy didn’t expect a response from Jason but he did decide to get a few licks in before he stepped out for the day. He unfurled the whip and gave it a few snaps over Jason’s head before he stood behind him. Instead of having Jason laid out spread eagled on the floor, he had his captive upright with Jason’s hands bound behind his back and a thick collar that kept Jason’s head held high and didn’t allow much movement.

To Billy’s annoyance, Jason remained silent and faced forward, while he waited for Billy to get on with his act. Billy smiled and let the whip speak for him until Jason finally cracked, and let a groan slip out and finally let go of his pride and screamed until he sagged against the chains holding him up. Billy stopped, but smiled at his former friend as the chains receded and Billy let Jason collapse onto the bed in the cell. Since Jason was in no shape to clean his wounds, Billy cleaned the worst of them, and then left Jason to his own devices for the remainder of the day.

While Billy went off to work as if nothing was wrong, and he wasn’t holding his former friend hostage in his cellar while the others were at school unsure of what to do about their newest enemy. Tommy was a basket case so everyone gave him a wide berth when they came in proximity to their leader; especially Adam. Adam felt low as he’d ever had in his life, and despite what the others had said to him he still blamed himself for Billy’s turn to the darkness.

Tanya had tried to console him but nothing had worked to make Adam feel better about the situation. He had his own plan to try and rectify the situation but hadn’t shared it with the team because he knew they wouldn’t go along with it. He managed to avoid everyone and slip off after school to head straight home.
Rocky noticed that Adam had managed to avoid them all day, and tried to follow Adam after school but he was thwarted when Adam teleported off straight after the last bell. Rocky went to find his team mates to share his concern while Adam prepared to walk into the lion’s den. He teleported to Billy’s front door and rang the bell, partially terrified he’d made a huge mistake and hopeful that his offering would turn Billy back to their side. He waited until the door opened and Billy stood there with a cold smile.

“Well, what brings you here Adam? Don’t tell me they actually let you come here alone?” Billy leaned against the doorframe and looked at Adam with a bit of suspicion but mostly his curiosity was piqued. “Well, what is it Adam? You know that if your precious Tommy found out you were here he’d have your hide tacked to the wall for disobeying him.”

“I came to talk to you Billy. I came to see if I could offer you a trade off for him.” Adam looked his former friend right in the eye so there could be no mistake of who he spoke of. “May I come in or will you just add me to the collection?”

Billy opened the door and let Adam in, he even offered him something to drink before he beckoned him to his room. Once they were in Billy’s room, he shut the door but didn’t lock it. “In case my father comes home while we’re discussing things. Now, what is it you think you can offer me that would make me accept you in lieu of Jason?”

“Well, I’d be a willing captive Billy; I know you want revenge on us for how we treated you. Jason… he isn’t even an active ranger anymore. Besides, if I hadn’t given you that dagger you wouldn’t have turned on us, I hoped that’s the case anyway.” Adam sat and looked down at the floor while Billy apparently mulled over what he said.

“While the appeal of having you willingly submit to me is tempting, Adam you’ve done nothing that would warrant what I plan to do to my good friend Jason. Would you honestly submit to what I have in mind for him? Do you think I’d lay a hand on you as I would him for his inaction? You gave me that dagger Adam; I wouldn’t harm you as I promised. Unless you meant that you’d submit to me in other ways.” Billy leered at his friend, and walked over to the window and peered out, mostly to see if any of the rangers were lurking about but also to think over what Adam had suggested.

Adam sat stock still; he hadn’t meant to insinuate anything like that but what if that’s what it took to make Billy release Jason? He hated that he was about to throw himself at the mercy of his friends darkened heart but if it saved Jason’s life and made up for his mistake, it would be worth it. He went to Billy and dropped to his knees behind him.

“Billy, I… I don’t know what you think I meant but I’d do whatever you asked to convince you to free Jason. I know you hate him for whatever he did or didn’t do before but please, allow me to take his place. After all, if you had an active ranger captive that would make it a bit easier to take your revenge right?” Adam swallowed and prayed silently that Billy would either take this offer or let him leave at least.

Billy walked around Adam’s kneeling form a few times, mostly to affect how his friend felt about being at his mercy but mostly to think this new twist in his plans over. He went to his bed and sat on it cross legged, and stared at Adam, and let the darkness roam freely in his mind. He finally smiled and bade Adam to stand up. “You know that if Tommy heard about what you planned he’d try to confine you or even take away your powers so he could keep you safe. Or he’d think you were crazy for tossing yourself on my mercy.”

Billy cocked his head and stared at Adam with no malice or ill intent. For a moment Adam believed his old friend had resurfaced, but that idea was squashed when Billy grabbed his arm and teleported them to the cellar where he had put Jason. He spun Adam around to face him and grabbed his collar so they were inches apart. Adam flinched at the rough handling, but met his friends gaze with no fear until he saw how dark Billy’s eyes had gone from anger.

Billy’s voice was a low growl as he asked his friend once more to be sure of what he wanted out of this trade. “Adam, do you honestly want this trade? Do you think I will keep you like some prized pet, unharmed until the darkness is gone from me?”

Adam swallowed and looked at Billy squarely. “It’s my fault you’ve turned evil Billy, let me make penance for that in the way I want. I can’t take you in a fair fight, and I can’t let Jason die because of my stupidity!” He stood back and waited to be shocked with the black lightening that Billy had gotten Rocky with or laughed at and teleported out to his house. Instead Billy looked at him oddly, and then flipped on the lights. Billy pointed to the cage that Jason was in, and snapped his fingers to let the chains drop from his captor except the collar.

“You wanted this Adam, last chance to give in or get out. I won’t do to you what I did to Jason, but I’m sure I can think of other ways to give you the penance you so desire. This is your last chance to tell me the real reason why you’d give yourself to me in his place; last chance to walk out of here and remain free.” Billy stood and waited for Adam to speak or try and bolt. Instead Adam merely took his Zeonizer off and tossed it to Jason through the bars of the cage. As it clattered to a halt near Jason, Billy looked into Adam’s eyes for some sense of deception or a lie. Instead he saw naked fear, and oddly enough trust that Billy wouldn’t harm him too badly.

“I’ve made my choice, let him go please Billy.” Adam pleaded and started to sink to his knees again; instead Billy stopped him and pointed to a chair. “Sit there and don’t say a word or move.” Billy sent Jason back to the command center along with Adam’s Zeonizer. He sighed and looked at his friend, confused as to what to do with this new predicament. The darkness that had consumed his mind had gone into overdrive, thinking up all kinds of lecherous things to do to Adam. For a moment, Adam feared that Billy was going to toss him into the cage that he’d just freed Jason from, but instead Billy just hauled him out of the chair and teleported them back to his room.

“What to do with you Adam Park, what shall I do with you?” Billy muttered as he paced his room in a circle. “So, you’ve given up your powers presumably to Jason, and you’ve given yourself over to me; what shall I do with you first Mr. Park?” Billy asked it seemed more like he spoke to himself than expected an answer out of Adam. Adam cleared his throat to get Billy’s attention. “I said I’d do anything Billy. I leave that up to your interpretation. You’re the genius here, what is it that you want from me? You said you wouldn’t beat me like you did to Jason, so what is there for you to do to me?”

“Don’t be a smart ass Adam. You perplex me, I did not expect the gift of your surrender and it does throw a kink in my plans. I suppose now you expect me to not do anything to the remaining Rangers since I have you?” Billy arched an eyebrow and stared at his new captive.

“That would be ideal, but I know that you will do what you want to Tommy. I… I’d hoped you’d see that I’ve sacrificed myself to you so the others can be left alone. I know it’s a lot to ask but I’d hoped you’d see reason or at least enjoy having me captive.” As soon as Adam said that, he blushed furiously… as he didn’t want to give Billy any ideas regarding how much he’d get to enjoy having Adam as his captive.

“Shouldn’t give a genius ideas like that Adam, you never know what I could decide to do with them.” Billy looked at his clock, and then at Adam. “Adam, I’m going to do something I will likely regret. You are going to call your parents, ask them if it’s ok to stay here over the weekend. If they say yes, then you will be free to go home and return here at 10 am sharp tomorrow morning. If they say no, then you’ll have to be creative and convince them to let you go. If you’re not here I’ll teleport you out no matter where you may be at 10 am tomorrow; and if it means they blow my cover as the Dark Ranger, so be it… your life will be in my hands and they will be to blame should anything befall your pretty little head.”

Billy moved so Adam could use the phone in his room. “Hi mom, sorry I’m a bit late… I’m over at Billy’s catching up with him well actually trying to make up for a fight we had over something stupid. He’s offered to help me with a project for school, and with his access to the university labs I should be able to get some research done I just can’t do at the city library. Would it be ok if I hung out over here this weekend? Mr. Cranston won’t mind, and Billy and I will be spending a good part of the weekend at the university.” Adam waited for his mother to say no as she was wont to do when he didn’t ask well in advance… but she knew how distraught Adam had been over the fight with his friend. “I can? Great, thanks Mom, yes I’ll be home soon. Sorry again for being late, love you too.”

Adam hung up and breathed a sigh of relief. “There, she said ok; but she wants you to pick me up at the house.” Billy shrugged and looked at Adam. “You lie pretty well for a ranger. Give me your right arm.” Billy affixed a slim version of their communicators to Adam’s wrist, it looked like a nice men’s watch but could be used to teleport him at a second’s notice. “That’s my insurance against Tommy trying to hide you somewhere. I know they’ll be looking for you as soon as you pop back up on the grid so explain our deal. That’s your part of this; explain that this was your fool idea. Keep in mind, that their actions will dictate just how healthy you remain while in my company, are we clear on that Adam?”
“Crystal clear Billy thanks for releasing Jason.” Adam touched the communicator and looked up at his friend for the first time really since this whole mess had started. “Are you going to hurt me? Not like you did to Jason, but there are worse ways to wound a friend you know.”

“I know, and whether or not you get hurt depends on how well you can lie to them and keep them out of this arrangement you’ve conned me into. Now go before your mother changes her mind and I have to abscond with you in the morning. Actually, I’ll drive you home… hopefully I can have some fun with Tommy should he be there waiting for you.”

Billy went downstairs to find his father had started dinner. “Hi dad, I was just going to run Adam home and then come back.” His father just nodded, he wasn’t sure what to say to Adam that wouldn’t give away that he knew their secret. “Hi Adam, give your folks my regards.”

”Of course Mr. Cranston, see you soon.” Adam followed Billy to his car and didn’t say much until he was dropped off. “See you tomorrow Billy, and thanks.”

“Don’t thank me yet Adam, wait until tomorrow and see if you still want to thank me so profusely. Wear black, it suits you.” With that Billy waited until Adam was in the door and pulled off, determined to make use of this change in development, he just wasn’t sure how it would work out to his benefit.
