Underling - Signing

Underline and regular- "Talking, while signing at the same time"


It was just a normal day in sunny Angel Grove California. Tommy Oliver was walking to meet his friends at their favorite hangout The Youth Center. It was just a normal day when all of a sudden there was a loud screech in his head. It was so loud it brought Tommy down to his knees. He covered his ears but it didn't help at all. He saw a flash in his head of a pink crane crashing to the ground.

"Tommy? Tommy!"

Suddenly Tommy noticed one of his friends Katherine standing there. "Tommy are you all right?" she asked.

"Did you hear that?" he asked.

"All I heard was you groaning in pain, what happen?"

Tommy was confused, was he the only one who heard that sound? He was just hungry, that's all it was, hunger. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just…hungry."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm positive, come on I'll race you inside."

She giggled and smiled. They both took off running. Things were normal again after that. Tommy didn't think he'd ever hear that noise again. But he was wrong.


He was on his back lifting some heavy weight on a bench machine when all of a sudden he heard it again. It was even louder than before, and the flash he was saw the same only once the crane fell it didn't get back up it just cried out.

Tommy actually dropped the weights mid-air and grabbed his head crying out in pain.

"Whoa!"

Luckily his two friends had been watching him and grabbed the weight before it hurt him. They put it back on the rack. "Tommy, what's going on?" Adam asked.

"Tommy, are you hurt?" Rocky asked.

Katherine, Billy and Tanya came running over.

"He did this before; he said it was just his hunger."

Tommy rolled off the bench onto the floor grabbing his head groaning in pain.

"We need to get him to Zordon." Billy said.

"How, there are too many witnesses." Kat asked.

"One of us has to create a distraction."

But it was too late a crowd was already starting to form around them, everyone was worried about Tommy. Then, just like nothing happen, Tommy stopped groaning and stood up.

"What was that?" Adam asked.

"Nothing….headache." he lied.

"That was one powerful headache."

"I'm fine, just overworked myself."

Just then Ernie walked over. "Hey, Tommy, you got a phone call."

"Really, from who?"

"Some girl in Florida she sounds upset."

"Kimberly?" Billy asked.

"No, a friend of hers I think?"

Tommy looked confused but went over to the counter.

"Hello?"

"Is this Tommy?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"A friend of Kimberly's, look you need to get to the hospital right away."

"The hospital why?"

"Kimberly needs you."

Tommy turned white he froze; Kimberly and hospital were the two worst words, especially when they were in the same sentence. "What happen?" he asked

"She fell off the high bars…the really high one…she hit her head really hard. She won't let anyone near her, she fights the doctors off whenever they try to help, please she's asking desperately for you."

"I'm on my way."

With that Tommy hung up. He rushed over to his friends. "I'm going to Florida." He started to leave. The others ran after him. Just as they reached the hallway Tommy dropped to his knees again crying out in pain grabbing his head. Only this time, the crane, as it cried out Tommy realized it was speaking. "Tommy, Tommy, help me Tommy" It was Kimberly's voice.


By the time he came back he was in the command center.

"Rangers, Alpha and I always had a feeling this might happen. The Falcon and Crane have always been connected, made to one day become one, because of this, it had bonded Kimberly and Tommy together."

"But, how? I took her power coin?"

"You took the powers needed to control her zord, the crane is her spirit animal it will be a part of her, as well a part of Tommy."

"So that screeching I heard?" Tommy asked.

"That was Kimberly's way of trying to send you a message, the vision you saw in your head was your Falcon's vision seeing his crane fall and become injured."

"It was telling me Kimberly was hurt?" Tommy asked.

"That is correct."

"I have to go to her, Zordon, please. I beg you; I know I'm not supposed to use my power for personal gain but…."

"Young Falcon please calm down. I am allowing you teleport there, but I will not be able to teleport you back without people asking questions. So I have these."

Two tickets appeared on the control panel. "For your journey home."

"Two?"

"In case Kimberly decides to join you."

Tommy nodded. "Thank you."

"Alpha will teleport you, we can only get you as close as the hospital, you'll have to go inside and find her room."

"That's perfect."

"Alpha teleport Tommy."

"Aye, aye, aye, hold on Kimberly." The little robot pressed a few buttons and in a flash of light Tommy was gone.

"Zordon, what's the matter with Kimberly?" Billy asked.

"I do not know yet, Rangers, but I'm sure we will know soon enough."


Tommy landed outside the hospital and rushed inside. "Kimberly Hart's room please?"

"Are you family?" the lady behind the counter asking, typing away at her computer not really looking up at him.

"I'm her boyfriend, Tommy Oliver."

The lady finally looked up at him. "Oh so you're the man she's been asking for. Her room is upstairs, to the left, room 214."

"Thank you." Tommy rushed off.


He finally reached the room and there was a girl around his age standing by the door. She turned to see him.

"Are you Tommy?" she asked.

"Yes, are you the girl I spoke to on the phone?"

"Yes, I'm Carla Clark, Kimberly and I are friends."

"Nice to meet you, is Kimberly ok?"

"No, look for yourself she won't let anyone near her."

Tommy looked through the window. His heart broke at the sight. She was punching, kicking, screaming, crying, just completely losing it as the doctors and nurses tried to hold her down and sedate her but she was stronger than them.

Without a second thought he went in. Everyone looked up at him. Kimberly saw him and screamed on top of her lungs.

"TOMMY!"

"Give me, some time with her. I can find out what's wrong." Tommy said.

The doctors and nurses nodded. They walked out. Tommy went over to Kim. They shared a hug. To Tommy's surprise she clung to him so tightly her nails began to make tiny holes in his shirt.

"It's ok, I'm here now. You're safe." He cooed gently. He rubbed her back which normally always calmed her down, only this time it had no effect on her at all. He pulled her away so he could see her face. He gently wiped away her tears. "I'm here now; you don't have to be scared. Everything is ok."

She didn't respond to him at all. Tommy was getting worried, why wasn't she saying anything? She never not responded to him.

"Beautiful, can you tell me if something hurts you? Are you in pain?"

She again didn't respond.

"Kimberly, please talk to me, I just want to…" Tommy stopped when he noticed something. Whenever he spoke Kimberly's eyes went to his lips and looked at them in confusion, almost like a newborn discovering lips for the first time in their life. That's when something else hit him. Maybe she couldn't hear him. He knew she sign language. So he signed to her. Kimberly, can you hear me when I speak to you?

Tears filled her eyes as she shook her head. Tommy grew worried but he didn't show it. It's ok, we're going to get the doctor and he will help us figure it out, but, you need to let him near you. Don't fight him away.

Please, don't leave me. She signed back.

He smiled softly. I'm not going anywhere. He signed to her. He kissed her forehead. I'll be right back.

He got up and went to the door. The doctor was waiting outside. "She's ready."

The doctor came back inside.

"She told me she couldn't hear, so, if you allow me to stay I can translate for you." Tommy offered.

The doctor nodded. "That's be great. All right, tell her we need to run to test and that when they're over we will be able to know more."

Tommy nodded and signed to Kimberly what the doctor said. She nodded and moved to get out of bed, but let out a loud scream and grabbed her knee.

Kimberly what's wrong Tommy signed.

My knee it hurts really, really bad.

Tommy looked to the doctor.

"Carry her we will run an x-ray too."

Tommy nodded and signed back to Kimberly what he just said.


After about an hour and half of running test Kimberly was back in her room waiting the rest results. Tommy was with her. He just stroked her hair and rubbed her back as he held her and cuddled with her. Until they knew more it was all he could do. The doctor finally walked in. He sighed.

"Well I've got some bad news, some really bad news, and some life changing news."

Tommy signed to Kimberly what he just said. Then he signed as he spoke with the doctor. "Just tell us everything."

"Well Kimberly is deaf, it seems that when she fell she hit her head and it damaged the part of her brain the controls her hearing."

As the doctor spoke Tommy translated what he said to Kimberly.

"Will she ever get it back?"

"It doesn't seem like it no."

Tommy sighed. "What's the really bad news?"

"Kimberly knee is broken completely in half, her knee is literally in two different pieces. We're going to need to do surgery to repair it."

Kimberly whimpered.

"What's the life changing news?"

"Well….because of this break, even when it heals it will never be as strong as it once was. So I'm afraid she will no longer be able to do gymnastic or karate."

Kimberly gulped. That wasn't good news.

Tommy sighed. "Even with the physical therapy?"

He nodded. "I'm sorry, yes."

Tommy nodded. "Tell us more about the surgery?"

"Well it's very simple, I'll go in repair the bones, so they're together and able to move again, I'll stitch her up and it's done. I've done a million times and there have never been any long lasting side effects."

"What are the risks?" Tommy asked and signed.

"Well, there are risks with any surgery, but the worst one is that Kimberly will never be able to use that leg again. She will never be able to walk on it."

Kimberly gasped.

"But that hardly ever happens. I promise you, the risks are very low and I plan on Kimberly making a full recovery."

Tommy nodded. He looked to Kimberly she nodded fearfully. "Let's do it."

"I've spoken with Kimberly's parents on the phone, they're on their way here and they approve of it. I'll go get everything set and ready."

They doctor left. Kimberly cried softly. I'm scared

Don't be, I promise I'll be here when you wake up.

How will I know what's going to happen to me? You won't be there to sign?

I'm sure they'll have a nurse in there or someone who will translate. Please don't be scared. I promise everything will be all right.

Kimberly sighed and nodded.


While Kimberly was away in surgery Tommy contacted the others.

"Zordon, its Tommy."

"Yes, Tommy?"

"Are the others there, I have news about Kimberly."

"Go on, the others are here. "

Tommy sighed. "It's not good, Kimberly is in surgery right now to repair a broken knee, and also…" Tommy sighed once more. "Kimberly is deaf."

Everyone gasped.

"I know it's hard to believe but what's worse is because of her knee Kimberly can never do gymnastics or karate ever again."

Everyone sighed.

"How is she?" Billy asked.

"Scared, upset, devastated, etc."

"Keep us updated and let us know what happens with the surgery."

"I will, Tommy out."

He sighed as he sat back on the bed. Why did this surgery seem to be taking longer than he thought?


After what felt like hours the doctor and nurses came back wheeling Kimberly in the bed.

They gently transferred her to the other bed and hooked her back up to all the machines.

"It's all going to be fine; with some physical therapy she'll be fine. The surgery was fine." The doctor said.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. She should wake up in a few hours."

Tommy nodded. "Thank you."

The doctor left and Tommy sighed. He looked over at Kimberly and smiled softly. On the outside she looked the same but he knew on the inside she had been broken literally and that the strong powerful confident Kimberly he once knew was gone. He honestly had no idea how to get her back.
