A/N: This is my first attempt at writing Lost Girl; it's an amazing show, with an amazing cast of very individual, complex characters. Hopefully you all like this work of fiction, this first chapter is very dialog heavy, but it flows well. Please read and review, let me know what you think. Happy reading!
Chapter One.
Kenzi couldn't help but think how much they actually needed Lauren. In the 5 weeks that Bo had been missing no one had seen or heard from the good doctor.
"Missing," Kenzi said to herself, "kidnapped by crazy Daddy dearest and trapped in a card…"
She looked at Bo, who was currently sitting, almost curled up, on the sofa at the Dal twitching. Trick was reading through his mountain of books, trying to figure out a way to bring Bo back from the semi-feral blue eyed succubus state they had found her in one morning outside the Club House.
"How's she doing?" Tamsin asked, motioning over to Bo.
"Oh, you know," Kenzi said, "she's top of the world, peachy keen great… How do you think she's doing?"
"I was only asking…" Tamsin replied, grabbing a bottle of whiskey from the counter and drinking it straight from the bottle.
"Little early for…" Kenzi said, "Who am I kidding, shares."
Tamsin smiled and handed the bottle to Kenzi.
"Any word on Lauren?" Kenzi asked.
"Nothing," Tamsin said, "from what we know she left Taft before we did, Bo couldn't find her, not that I'm even sure she looked too hard…"
"Psycho Succubitch Mom bleeding out," Kenzi said, "I remember being told that, and no one knows if she's still alive."
"She has a name." Bo said.
"Did crazy bitch just say something?" Tamsin asked.
"First words we've had from her since she got back," Kenzi said, "and it's all about Mommy."
"Well everyone has Mommy issues right…" Tamsin said.
"Bo," Kenzi said, "do you know where you are?"
"Lord of the Rings," Bo said with a laugh, "where's the hobbit."
She twitched again.
"Is it me or is that getting worse?" Tamsin asked.
"Well she's out of the cage," Kenzi said, "Trick seems to think she has more control of her actions right now."
"So she'll be going back home with you tonight?" Tamsin asked, taking the bottle back off Kenzi.
"Oh hell to the no," Kenzi said, "I'll wake up in the middle of the night just in time to see the last of my Chi vanish into her. Not happening sweetness. It's your turn to watch right?"
"Again?" Tamsin asked.
"Well you can always go and try your luck with the Morrigan again," Kenzi said, "Sure she has something she can do with you."
"I'm on her list Kenzi; you know I can't go back there." Tamsin replied.
"So you're gonna jump ship, come over to the Light, it's where all the best parties are." Kenzi said, flashing her a grin.
"I doubt that…" Tamsin said, taking a long drink.
The doors opened and Dyson walked in.
"Whoa D-man, you look like shit." Tamsin said, "Drink?"
"Thanks," Dyson said, sitting on the bar stool next to Tamsin, "I was out following up leads on Lauren."
"All night?" Kenzi asked.
"The last three days," he replied, "I know I missed my watch, but I just can't see her like this."
"It's not easy for any of us D." Kenzi said.
"Speak for yourself," Tamsin said, "doesn't bother me one bit."
"How about you drop that hard Valkyrie outer shell, we know you care about her." Dyson said.
"Caring about people isn't in my nature." Tamsin said.
"Neither is backing out of a bounty," Trick said, walking behind the bar, "are you lot going to pay for any of the alcohol you've consumed in the last week?"
"I'm on a life-time free tab," Kenzi said, raising her hand, "so I'm all good."
"Plus haven't you been closed for the last week?" Tamsin asked, "We're just using up your stock before it passes it's used by date."
"Hello my beautiful sexy minions." Vex said, walking into the bar.
"Where the hell have you been?" Kenzi asked.
"Checking in with the Morrigan," Vex said, "but she wasn't where I left her tied up."
"Anything in the Dark circles about where Lauren might be?" Dyson asked.
"I don't see why you're getting your panties in a twist about the human," Vex said, "she's gone, Bo's all yours."
"Bo was never mine," Dyson said, "it's always been Lauren. I think she might be the only person who can bring Bo out of this… whatever it is."
"The succubus is just embracing her dark side," Vex said, walking over to Bo, "I for one think it suits her…"
Bo looked at him, tilting her head to one side.
"Though that is some pretty freaky shit right there." Vex said, walking back over to the others.
"You wanna play Vex?" Bo asked, "See how far you get."
"Unfortunately, with the hours of fun that would be, I think I'll pass." Vex said.
"How about you Tamsin," Bo said, "ready for round two?"
"Maybe later." Tamsin said.
"I remember you all being a lot more fun," Bo said, standing up, "And Dyson, I remember you being a lot more naked."
"Bo," Trick said, "can you tell us anything about where you were being held?"
"Nope," Bo said, with a twitch, "killed a bunch of people though…"
"Humans?" Trick asked.
"Didn't exactly stop to ask." Bo replied, "I'm hungry…"
"Already?" Tamsin asked, "Didn't you feed last night?"
Bo laughed and walked over to Tamsin.
"You call that a feed?" Bo asked, "Where's Lauren?"
"She's… she's not here." Kenzi said.
"Well where is she?" Bo asked, looking at Kenzi in the same way she had previously looked at Vex.
Kenzi didn't say anything, no one said anything.
"Don't you think we should just tell her," Tamsin said, "I'm not sure I like withholding things from the mentally unstable succubus."
Bo laughed.
"What's so funny?" Tamsin asked.
"You calling me mentally unstable," Bo said, "I've got issues, power issues, what's your excuse?"
"Well at least my girlfriend didn't run off and leave everyone behind," Tamsin said, "she obviously thought that living without you was the best thing for her."
A low growl started to come from Bo.
"Oh nice going you batshit crazy Valkyrie," Kenzi said, "she's freaking growling… Trick!"
"I've got this one…" Dyson said, standing up.
"You want to fight me Dyson?" Bo asked.
"Not really," he said, "but if I have to…"
Trick handed Dyson a syringe, no one needed to ask what was in it.
As Bo moved forward to punch Dyson, Tamsin grabbed her arm, and Dyson stuck the syringe in, emptying its contents into Bo's arm.
"Wow…" Bo said with a smile, "what a rush…"
"Trick…" Kenzi said.
"That's a strong enough dose to bring down a large horse." Trick said.
"She's a supercharged succubus," Kenzi said, "like Wonder Woman on crack, you got anything stronger?"
"Not to hand." He replied.
"I want to find Lauren…" Bo said, heading for the door.
"Vex…" Kenzi said.
"Got it sweet cheeks." Vex said, using his powers to stop Bo in her tracks.
"Thought you said you didn't want to play Vex." Bo said, with a twisted smile.
"I don't," he said, "but I don't want you going out there and playing with the humans, they'll break easier than you think."
"I want to find Lauren." Bo repeated.
Kenzi walked over to her.
"Doctor Hotpants will be back Bo-Bo," Kenzi said, trying to get through to her best friend, "she just needs space, remember you said you'd give her space?"
"I know…" Bo said, "You smell funny…"
"I showered this morning thank you very much," Kenzi said, "which is more than I can say for you, you're starting to smell a bit ripe."
"So let me go home and shower." Bo said.
"Not happening," Kenzi said, "I mean I know home isn't a palace or anything, but it's still home. I'd like it to stay standing if you don't mind."
"If you leave here Bo, the Morrigan will have you killed." Trick said, "We can't protect you out there."
"I think she can take care of herself," Tamsin said, "or am I the only one who remembers the whole 'I will unite all Fae under my leadership, everyone will bow before me, I will be worshipped as a God' speech?"
"That would be fun, no one is powerful enough to take me down," Bo said, "you said it yourself Trick, I'm unaligned, and I'm the most powerful Fae in this city… if not the whole Fae-verse."
"Fae-verse?" Tamsin asked.
"It's like the universe but for Fae." Kenzi said.
"I got that, thanks…" Tamsin said.
"The Morrigan isn't someone you want to mess with Bo," Dyson said, "she's Dark Fae remember, they have no rules."
"I have no rules either," Bo replied, "pretty sure you remember that, now move out of my way."
Dyson had no choice in the matter; he literally flew across the room.
"Well that's new…" Kenzi said, as Bo walked out of the bar and out onto the street.
"I'll babysit," Tamsin said, standing up and heading towards the door, "or at least try and make sure she doesn't end up dead."
"What a comforting thought," Kenzi said as Tamsin followed Bo, "that should be me going out there; Bo and I made the best team…"
"You're still under lockdown remember," Dyson said, "we have to wait for them to choose a new Ash before we can get the Morrigan's motion dismissed."
"Her motion?" Kenzi said, "You make it sound so… trivial."
"In our world it is Kenz," Dyson said, "I know it's really important to you, but since the whole Lauren vanishing, her name turning up on a vial of whatever it was that was used to poison me, thing… Humans aren't on the Fae friendly list right now."
"If I'd have been left to find the druid…" Kenzi said.
"You'd probably be dead," Trick said, "as would Bo. You know that Tamsin was working with him to bring Bo in, to claim her bounty."
"Well maybe when Lauren gets back she can do something," Kenzi said, "I mean didn't she manage to implant Fae DNA into that crazy ass mystical Fae wannabe?"
"Yes, but we don't know how that would have affected him in the long run," Trick said, "it could be a temporary thing, it might end up destroying all your human DNA, there are many questions that need answering."
"I'm up for being a test Kenzi," Kenzi said, "bring it on; stick me with needles and shit."
"We need Lauren to do that," Trick said, "but being Fae might not bring you all the answers that you want, it will probably leave you with more questions."
"And badass superpowers," Kenzi said, "I'm so over being the fragile human… Do you think now would be a good time to tell Bo that the rent is due?"
"You pay rent on that flea infested, drafty, wall-less crack den?" Vex asked.
"Honestly, I don't know," Kenzi said, "Bo always took care of that stuff… And it's not that bad."
"Even the cockroaches in your place have their own superpowers Kenzi," Vex said, "if Bo aligned herself…"
"That isn't going to happen now is it," Kenzi said, "plus it's our home, it's our thing, mine and Bo's… And we don't have roaches…"
"I'll take care of it Kenzi," Trick said, "You don't have to worry about it."
"You going to re-stock the fridges too?" Kenzi asked with her best smile.
"Yes." Trick said.
"You're the man Trickster." Kenzi said.
