Jason: Episode 001
Who| Jason Lee Scott, whoever
What| Jogging while figuring things out! He's getting a bit of a brood on, but he'll try not to get any on anyone's shoes.
Where| The more open spaces in Legion World. One of the park-ish areas should work fine.
When| A day or so after his release from Medical.
Warnings/Notes| Not as of yet.
There are all kinds of ways for people to cope with a situation that's strange or out of the ordinary. Some people broke down. Other people set out to explore as much as possible. Some went into denial. Others, like Jason, buried themselves in familiar activities.
Jason preferred not to focus on it too much. He needed these things in bite-sized chunks. Going from average teen to Power Ranger had been enough of a shift in the status quo, the only reason he'd been able to handle it so well was that all of his friends had been right there with him. And now he didn't have his Ranger powers (well, he had the morpher and the coin, but trying to transform had left him feeling decidedly non-spandexy and a little awkward. Billy could probably explain it. And Trini could explain him.), his new 'powers' didn't make a lot of sense to him and seemed to puzzle some of the techs, and he was alone. That last bit was really the worst part. If he'd had even one familiar face here, that would've made things so much easier to cope with. But the only trace of home he had were his morpher, non-functional, and his clothes, which still smelled like a poison planet. He'd probably have to burn them.
That had been... Probably not even a day ago. He'd tried wrestling it in his head a bit, and after a few hours of beating his head against the wall with worry and confusion, he decided to focus his energies on something entirely different: Saying 'forget this' and going for a jog. Legion World (Seriously? An entire planet ship thing to themselves?) was so large that it felt like he could go forever without meeting anyone else, but he kept passing by people here and there. Techs. Civilians in their weird future-clothes. The little bug-people. Possibly Legionnaires. He didn't stop to ask. There were only so many pitying/curious looks and platitudes that he could take before just wanting to be alone for a bit.
Still, he could only run for so long. His appetite hadn't been much before, he'd been too worried. And now... Well, he hadn't exactly grabbed a bottle of water, and the last place he saw that might have something to drink from was a few miles back. Jason slowed to a stop, breathing heavily, and placed his hands on his hips, looking up at the sky as he continued to walk for a bit. Just coming to a stop after a run like that would've been begging for a cramp.
Still. Thirsty.
He paused and glanced around, spotting someone. It didn't matter so much who they were, he guessed. "Yo!" He held up a hand, moving a bit closer. "Hey, sorry to interrupt. I'm new and, uh. I think I got a little lost here. Did you see where I could get a drink of water?" He grinned sheepishly, spreading his hands in a 'what can you do?' gesture.

"Rita Repulsa, wow. Even as far as villain names go...well, actually I've heard dumber."
Rich saw Jason's embarrassed look and smiled, hoping to put him at ease.
"Sound like a lot of the supervillains back home on my Earth. If some villain shows up threatening to turn humanity into, I don't know, tribbles or something, just because Earth was there and they needed something to be mad at, everyone just figures 'must be Tuesday.' Still sounds like a pain to deal with, though -- just like the villains back home. These 'Power Rangers' -- are they superheroes?"

"Yeah, I've read comics with more intimidating names, but..." He shrugged. "It's a little different for us. I mean, we were pretty normal up until then. First she shows up with giant monsters, then the Power Rangers pop up right after. Definitely heroes, though."
There wasn't any question or hesitation in his voice about that.
"They don't do a whole lot of public speaking for anything, they seem to be pretty protective of their secret identities. You see them fighting sometimes, but I think the only time they've actually spent time with anyone was right after we got sucked into another dimension. We were throwing a festival for them and weren't sure that they'd show up, but they seemed pretty stuck with it once we all popped back to the party and saw them before they had a chance to leave. They were pretty cool about it, though."
He'd been too busy feeling an enormous wave of relief to really think about teleporting out. Technically that might've been breaking one of their rules, but Zordon didn't seem to mind after. Maybe because they hadn't sought it out.
"The Legion's a lot different about that kind of thing."

Rich frowned.
"Everyone was torn in two and wasted all this time fighting each other over it, because some wanted the secret IDs to protect their loved ones and some wanted things to be like the Legion. Then the law got repealed anyway."
After all that damage, they just got rid of it.
"Me? I guess I don't know which one is right, but I do know that now I worry about my parents every damn day. Especially when I'm not even in the same universe to stargate home and protect 'em."
