Unfortunately Casey did know what he was doing and that it wasn't going to go well. But he wasn't about to spend the last of his energy laying in bed and feeling tired. He was supposed to be the unbreakable body. The strength of the team. For a while he felt better. Able to go on patrol, able to get out of bed and even eat things. Lately he felt a whole lot worse. He didn't sleep through the nights anymore, often woke up with bad fevers in the early morning hours but he was strong.
He didn't voice his fear but RJ knew it was there. RJ had hardly left his side since he started feeling ill. "I wanted to be a ranger since I was a kid. I never thought anything like this would ever happen to me." It'd actually been ana accident when he discovered his tiger power. He was trying to protect another cub from being bullied by an upper classmen. He remembered what it was like being picked above Jarrod to be a protector..he felt so proud of himself, like nothing would ever stop him. Now he felt like he was breaking apart inside. He was chosen to be a power ranger and make the world a better place, but he hardly had the chance to use that power for good it was meant for.
"Last time we went into a warehouse we were attacked by renshi." He made a face as he shivered slightly and pulled his jacket a little closer. Everything fell out of focus and he tasted copper on his tongue. He was forced to stop. It was like everything suddenly went into slow motion and his head was under water. He could still hear them, but he finally managed to lift a foot and follow her even though they felt as heavy as steel blocks. Everything hurt. not now..not here. He could see Kim not too far ahead but she was slowly fading in and out of sight.
