Augustus was enjoying the tour and enjoying the wonders of modern technology. He eventually found himself at the library, spotting Samara reading.
"It's good to see that some things never change." Augustus smiled, knowing that libraries are still a thing in the future. "Were you left in awe like I am, seeing all of this new, wonderful magic you all call technology for the first time?"

"Is it possible to get in contact with your ancestor? Because I am not sure if the Bureau will allow you to." Lalah said, trying to find the logic in this.
"I'm sure there's a way. However, I just won't tell him who I am. If I conceal elements about me, then it shouldn't affect anything I would think. But that's gonna have to go on the back burner. I gotta talk to Sam.." Leon stated.

Samara looked up from her book, marking her place and closing it when she heard Augustus. "It's different, that ain't no lie," she said. "I'd just seen the 19th Century pass into the 20th, workin' my bar and then Mateo shows up, whiskin' me away to somethin' that felt like a story in a penny book. I'm still wrappin' my head around a lot of it, sugar. Like now the fact that I'm the second oldest person on the team since you come along."

Lalah considered the thought before nodding firmly. "Then I'll go with you. Someone has to be your support." She said, standing up from the ground and helped Leon do the same. "All you have to do is go for it. Jump high and wide, without fear. If you can forge your path away from your family legacy, then you'll do the same by telling Sam how your feel."

"You know Lalah, that would be great." Leon said now with Lalah's support, he wasn't as nervous. He began walking towards the library of the HQ. After searching around for a little bit, the duo finally found it but Leon was getting nervous again and started getting goosebumps on his arms.. He took a deep breath and he told himself "Do or die" as he entered the library and wasn't shocked that Agustus was talking to Sam. When he got close, he called out Sam. "Hey, Sam....You wouldn't be busy would you?" Leon said as he tried to quiet the stuttering voice. On the inside thought? Leon was shaking so hard he could be a human blender.

"If it helps, you're aging like a good wine, or is it really good wine?" Auggie pondered aloud. "I'm still getting used to modern day speak." The old knight chuckled. While chatting with Samara, Leon appeared, interrupting their conversation, much to his confusion. Because he didn't know the group dynamic as well due to his recent arrival, he was the only person that didn't know that Leon had feelings for Samara, thus was oblivious to his nerves.
"Is something the matter, friend? You look ill!" Augustus asked, noticing that Leon was a large bundle of nerves.

"Not I'll per se, Augustus... Just need to talk to Samara about something. Possibly in private?" Leon said as he was trying to keep it together, nerves and all.

Enjoying Samara's company, Auggie wasn't necessarily keen on leaving, but looked at Samara to determine how the lady wanted to proceed.

Lalah made sure to remain behind Leon as he attempted to speak to Samara, in front of Augustine. She tried not to be embarrassed on his behalf because then she'd made it worse for him and for everyone. So she decided to see how it go once Samara made her answer.

Samara felt herself giggle at Augustus' wine comment, and as she tried to respond, Leon appeared. She looked between the two men, her "research" having told her about moments like this. She sighed to herself, looking at Leon. She was aware of his crush on her, but something in her didn't reciprocate. She looked to Augustus, giving a small smile. "I will be back," she said, getting to her feet. She looked at Leon as she walked out from around the table. "Five minutes, Leon. I'll follow you."

As Leon waited for Samara to answer, he read the body language that Samara was putting off and the slight interactions between her and Augustus. It was plain to see and just with that, Leon had already gotten his answer. "On second thought, never mind. It's not that important anyway. Sorry for disturbing you guys." Leon said as he put on a smile and then quietly left the room. It was clear to Leon now that even though Sam hadn't said anything, Augustus was already making moves in a direction where as Leon kept stumbling and falling. Leon knew where he stood. He passed Lalah on the way out and just shook his head.

On The Vengeance, Calen was performing maintenance to his armor. He was more stressed than usual due to the addition of the Gold Ranger. With six opponents, his goals have become that much harder to achieve.
"Master. I have discovered a potential weak point to exploit." The ship's AI spoke.
"What is it?" Calen asked, putting his tools down.
"I have discovered that one of the Rangers has prior Ranger lineage. Leon Steele is the descendant of Duncan Steele, the second Aura Striker Black Ranger. Known for his affinity for wrestling and wrestling tactics in combat. His skills were vital to achieving victory against the wizard Zaron in the 2020s. After defeating Zaron, Duncan retired from Ranger activity to pursue his wrestling career full time."
"Interesting. This might be the jolt we need." Calen surmised. "If I kill Duncan, Leon Steele would have never been born. Such a change may be enough to shift the timeline to save my family."
"It is recommended to pursue Duncan after he has surrendered his powers and before his former teammates reassemble. That period is where he is most vulnerable."
"That is an acceptable course of action. I would prefer not to have to deal with a more experienced group of Rangers at this point." Calen concluded. "Make preparations. Set a course for 2022."
"At once." The AI complied, setting the stage for the villain to potentially stop a problem before it even starts.

"Leon," Samara said, reaching for teh Green Ranger's arm, only to have his jacket slip past her fingers as she went to grab. She sighed softly, looking down before sitting back down, looking at the table before her hands clenched.

"Strange." Augustus scratched his head a bit with the sudden shift in Leon's urgency, going from needing to interrupt and speak his mind to suddenly backing down with little resistance. "Whatever it is, I hope it gets sorted out." Auggie spoke, still not having put the dots together.

Lalah was left stunned when Leon didn't make his move. She thought he could do it but instead, he made it worse by chickening out again. As soon as he passed her, she turned around to chase him.
"Leon?! Wait!" Lalah called out to her Green friend. "What happened?!"
