"Well, it turns out quicker than I expected."
"I know. Except this compression sleeve is making me itch, and not in a psychological way."
"You said the same thing with your knee compression and look what it turn out."
"I'll admit it grows on me. Helps me with certain situations."
"And why do you think it is different this time with your arm?"
Cody sighs, adjusting his new black compression sleeve on his upper portion of his right arm in order to support the heavy damage it sustains. He and Alluka have been out since he is given an all clear from the doctors. With his injuries gradually becoming permanent, he has to take it easy. While he would've wallow in despair, he actually accepts this since he plans to retire from Time Force after the Battalion gets taken care of. Still... "I guess I feel that I'm not going to do anything like I use to. The more scars I have, the permanent damage I'll be dealing. Won't be assisting you and everyone either."
Alluka purses her lips, taking Cody's words in consideration. They have been discussing about their future plans, both individually and together. They do argue but it is mainly agree to disagree type of thing, ending with them respecting each other's choices. "I cannot say we are going to be alright. You and I both know it." She begins. "Perhaps you can try switching up your approach by using your defense during battle. As for the rest, I know you will find something that will work with your limitations. As for your scars, they make you more beautiful." She beams.
With a smirk of his own, Cody presses Alluka against a wall and leans in for a slow kiss, letting the weight of heavy thoughts lift away. "Your scars are much as beautiful as mines."
"It is written in our heart." The Black Ranger mumbles between the kisses, wrapping her arm around her boyfriend's neck to draw him closer.
“Hey guys!” The sound of a child rumbles from the hall, breaking them apart and quickly adjust themselves in order to be modest without traumatizing. Cody grins at Alluka's embarrassment before turning to the newly arrived Rolo. "What are you both doing near the emergency exit? There's a Super Saiyan passing by here." The boy says, unaware of his uncle and Alluka's intentions.
"Super Saiyan?" Alluka's eyebrows furrow for moment until she realizes. "Oh, you mean Soujiro."
"Really? Soujiro's a Super Saiyan?! That's awesome!?"
"You can say that. He has superpowers like Alluka." Cody answers before he shares a look of concern with his girlfriend. The Umekian gives him a silent agreement until she focuses back to Rolo. "I will go see what our Super Saiyan friend is doing." She announces.
Giving his girlfriend a quick peck, Cody watches Alluka leave to see Soujiro, leaving him with Rolo. For the first time in a while, he's alone with nephew, which is awkward to say the least. Before he can say something, Rolo beats him to it.
"We need to talk."
__________
"Soujiro." Alluka calls out, walking through the hall as she looks for her Agronite friend. If Rolo says it's true, then something must have happen that leaves her friend in his root form. It doesn't take long before she finds him. "Soujiro." She says, going over to him.

"Well, first of all, we are all the vets around here so we can handle it while you are recovering." Kari said smiling at the young man in front of her. "Second, the most important thing is that you're alive. Which in turn means, you are never useless." She said with a slight shrug. "How is the wound area healing?" She asked remembering her handy work, but still wanting to make sure it was healing properly.

Sojiro heard Alluka and his eyes widened,"A-Alluka!" he said in a slightly panicked state, worried that one of the Silver Guardian officers would see him in his Argonite form.

She asked remembering her handy work, but still wanting to make sure it was healing properly."It's healing ok," Tanjiro said. "Itches sometimes but I know that means it's healing properly." He sighed and rubbed his chest softly. "Nobody's told me about what happened that day. Other then I got shot, almost died, and you three spent an hour trying to stop me from becoming a Ghost." __________ As Alluka found Sojiro, another man walked around the corner. He held his hands up when he saw Sojiro start to react. "Ease yourself. I didn't know the Rangers had one of us on their side."

As Alluka found Sojiro, another man walked around the corner. He held his hands up when he saw Sojiro start to react. "Ease yourself. I didn't know the Rangers had one of us on their side."
Before Sojiro could get into defense mode after being approached by the stranger, a wave of confusion washed across his face, "One of you? Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Logan Shepard," the man said. "But my real name is Grilos." He held his hand up, his flesh turning to a bright red. "Like you, I am Argonite."

Seeing the man's flesh change to red, the Yellow Ranger's eyes widened, "Masaka. You're an Argonite... I've... there's a lot I want to know, I don't know how to start," he said, looking astonished and speechless.

Alluka crosses her arms upon meeting the stranger Grilos, who seems to be an Agronite like Soujiro. "Forgive me for being blunt, but is there a reason for your arrival? I have never seen another Agronite before."

"I work for the Silver Guardains. I was on my way to weapons to calibrate firearms before the next attack," Grilos said. "Stumbling upon the two of you was merely coincidence, but I will assume the Gods put me here for a reason. Seems as if you're having troubles, my friend. Still adjusting to your Argonite powers?"

"Unfortunately, yes. I've been trying to get used to my powers for the last six months. One thing I know is that my superhuman strength came from my lineage and the rest of my powers began to manifest when I was fighting one of the criminals, resulting me in killing him by accident," Sojiro responded after sighing, "The only person I knew who was an Argonite was my father, who is one himself and he didn't tell me because of the fear he had for me. Since he wasn't able to tell me any more he knew, I tried to figure it out myself only until I experienced frequent glowing during my missions with my team, leading me to know... what is there that I don't know about?" the Yellow Ranger looked himself in the mirror, his Argonite form still present.

Alluka observes carefully to detect any lie from Grilos. So far there's none, which seems to relax her a bit. She listens to Soujiro's dilemma, her heart goes out to him since he hasn't come to terms. Perhaps Grilos may the one who can help her Yellow friend. "Think you can help him with this situation? My friends and I have done everything we can to help him navigate. But there are situations that goes beyond our knowledge." The Umekian asks Grilos.

"If I'm being honest, after watching that bullet hit you, the rest of what happened became a blur for me." Kari said with a sigh and a shrug. "You're right as well, it is healing when the itching sets in. It's the sucky part of the healing process." She said with a slight chuckle. "But, you were shot. Rolo was kidnapped, and we were given some assistance in killing the bastard that shot you, which still doesn't sit exactly right with me." She explained as much as she could honestly recall.

Grilos nodded, looking at Alluka. "I can help him. We...can help him," he said. He looked to Sojiro, walking forward. "Sojiro, correct? You need to breathe. The Argonite form is volitile, easily angered. Take a deep breath, in the nose and out the mouth. Repeat that until you can focus on your human form. Once you've done that, you and I will take a trip, and you'll learn whatever you need."

Tanjiro raised an eyebrow. "Who helped:?"

"Well, that's kind of where things get complicated..." Kari started and folded both arms over her chest, almost as if she was holding herself bracing for how mad Tan might get. "Stolkan. Granted, it was all because super shooter seemed to have failed in a lot of ways. Then it was made clear it wasn't any form of a truce or anything.." She said shrugging slightly. "But still, I don't know what would have happened if he hadn't stepped in." She said looking up at the red rangers face.

"Volatile...," Sojiro whispered and he took a deep breath slowly: inhaling from the nose and exhaling from his mouth, and then suddenly, his Argonite form shifted back to his original human form, leaving him shocked. 'It really worked!' he thought to himself and he turned to Grilos. "Where in particular?" he asked.
