A/N: Okay, here's the first chapter of the five-chapter story I've cooked up for you guys. Just a little something that came to me. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think in review.

Chapter 1: The Switch

Unknown Location

Things had gone from bad, to worse.

As they prepared for the battle to come, Bo worked closely with Lachlan to gather allies to help them fight the Garuda. The only problem was, the Fae he sent her to negotiate with all wanted something in return. She thought they meant money, which Lachlan would provide her with.

But alas, they meant favours.

And being that Bo was the fearless Unaligned Succubus of their region; they knew to ask for the impossible. One person in particular, a Warlock named Gerald wanted her to retrieve a very special artefact. The only catch was that it was being kept in the Light Fae's archive room.

She asked Lachlan to give it to her but he stated that it wasn't allowed to leave the Compound. Apparently, the item was very dangerous if given to a magic user. So, he told her to try and offer Gerald something else.

"I don't know what you want me to say man…" she sighed, folding her arms. "… The Ash has forbidden your request. I can't really do much more than that. There's gotta be something else you want more than that thing"

Gerald sat at his throne, he considered himself a King among his species. "I want nothing else!" He yelled. "Lachlan is a fool to refuse me of what I seek. He needs my people to fight at his side, without us he'll perish for sure" he knew the stakes.

"You're probably right, but that doesn't change the fact that he won't hand it over. I'll get you anything else, just not the sphere" she didn't know what the copper ball did, but apparently it was dangerous enough for Lachlan to keep it locked up.

"Then we have no alliance…" he said. "… That sphere, was crafted by my ancestors. The blood of my people went into building it. It holds sentimental value"

Bo sighed, rolling her eyes. "That's great, but you're still not getting it! Look, there's gotta be something we can do. We need your allegiance. The fate of all of us depends on it"

He shook his head. "No, the fate of your lives depends on it. My people have endured much harsher times than this. We will survive, unlike you. I'm done speaking with you. Please leave"

Honestly, Bo was getting desperate. As much as Lachlan thought Gerald having the sphere was dangerous; losing to the Garuda and dying was far worse. She decided to make a decision for them. She was he Champion after all.

"Okay! Hold up!" She moved away from the guards that tried to throw her out. "Let's say I'm willing to go against Lachlan's orders. If I get you the sphere, do you swear to align with us?"

"Get me that sphere, and my army is at your disposal" Gerald kept his word.

Bo nodded, "Okay, I'll get you your stupid ball. Give me two hours, and I'll be back" she turned around and left the mansion.

As she walked to her car, she thought about how she was going to get into the Archive room without being caught. Dyson was off on a soul-searching mission so he was out, Hale was too loyal to Lachlan so she couldn't ask him, Trick would probably yell at her for promising Gerald the artefact so that was a no.

That left one person.

Lauren was the Chief Medical Officer of the Light. She had unlimited access to everything in the Compound. No one would suspect her if she got the artefact. But she wasn't really talking to her after what happened to Nadia. Bo couldn't blame her, why would she want to talk to the person who killed her Girlfriend?

But, feelings aside; Bo still needed that sphere. So, she got in her car and began driving to Lauren's place.

She just hoped this would work.

Lauren's Apartment – Later

As she stood by the door, Bo contemplated making a run for it. It wasn't going to be fun to do this, not when Lauren was still so fragile. But it was pressing times. So, she knocked on the door gently. And waited.

It took a few minutes, but Lauren finally answered. Bo expected to find her in an emotional state, but she looked fine. "Hi" she spoke quietly.

"Hi, what're you doing here?" Lauren asked.

"I just came to see how you're doing…" Bo couldn't sense anything, which was troubling. Lauren should've been sad, or angry. "… Are you okay?"

Lauren nodded, "I'm fine"

Okay, this was getting weird. "You don't seem fine to me, can I come in for a second?" She didn't like the way Lauren looked right now. But she was given permission to enter anyway, and as she did she saw that there were cleaning products next to the spot where Nadia died.

It smelt of bleach and disinfectant.

"Did you actually want something? Because I'm a little busy" Lauren stood by the coffee table and grabbed her rubber gloves ready to clean again.

"Yeah, I can see that. How long have you been cleaning for?" Bo asked, still a little frightened.

Lauren shrugged, "Not sure, four or five hours. Just when I think the stain's coming out, it's like it just gets darker. I've tried formulating new chemicals that'll work better, but I need to be careful because mixing ammonia with certain household chemicals can cause a dangerous reaction" She was rambling.

All Bo could do was nod, she watched Lauren grab a sponge and start scrubbing the floor again. The blood didn't look any better than it did when Nadia died. But this wasn't a good place for Lauren to be right now. "Lauren?" She ignored her.

Lauren just kept scrubbing, harder and harder.

"Lauren?" Bo kelt down beside her, reaching for her wrists to stop her. "Hey? Stop it, please" she hated seeing her like this, and she could now sense her pain.

It was so strong.

Turning her head, Lauren looked at her. "If I stop, I'll never get the stain out and this place will be a constant reminder of what happened. I need to wash it away" she pulled her hands back and began scrubbing again.

"I'm not saying you shouldn't, just maybe not now. It's only been two days since—-" Bo didn't say Nadia's name, she didn't want to upset her more. "Maybe you just need a distraction. I might have something that'll help"

Lauren stopped scrubbing, "Like what?"

"Well, Lachlan sent me to negotiate an alliance with King Gerald of the Warlocks and the only way he'll agree to fight with us is if I get him a magical sphere from the Light Fae Archives" Bo explained.

That didn't really make sense. "So, ask Lachlan to get it for you" Lauren said.

"That's the thing, he won't. He told me the Sphere can be dangerous in the hands of a Warlock. But Gerald won't accept anything else, he said his family made it and he just wants to keep it safe. We need him as an ally, if that means I have to swipe the stupid ball from Lachlan then that's what I'm gonna do" Bo knew what she had to do.

"So, you need someone who works for the Light?" Lauren didn't see why she didn't ask Dyson, or even Hale.

But Bo realised that anyone else wouldn't have been good for the job. "No, I need you…" she saw the difference in Lauren's face. She needed to feel wanted. And Bo wanted her, all the time. "… I think it'll be good for you to get out. And while we're gone, we can call the Cleaners and they'll get rid of the stain for you"

Lauren thought of calling them, but she wanted to do it herself. Only, now she could see it was driving her crazy. "Yeah, that's a good idea. Okay, let's go. Just, let me change" she took off her gloves, dropping them to the floor on her way upstairs.

While Lauren changed, Bo called Hale and asked them to have the Cleaners stop by her apartment. She couldn't do anything to take her pain away or take back what she did. But she could get rid of the thing that reminded her of the pain.

That was a start.

Light Fae Compound – Later

Being that the Garuda was lurking around, Lachlan's security was tight. So much so that as soon as they saw Bo, they refused her access. "I was literally here this morning!" This was a joke.

"This morning isn't now, and currently the Ash is unavailable to grant your admittance" he told her.

Lauren came up behind Bo, "Relax Ron, she's with me. I need her help with something in the lab that might just turn the tide of this upcoming war. So, are you gonna let us in? Or am I gonna have to talk to Lachlan about how uncooperative you've been?"

Ron gulped, "No Ma'am…" he opened the doors, "… As you were Dr. Lewis, Miss. Dennis" he smiled, letting them in.

As they walked the halls, Bo was impressed. "That's was awesome. I didn't realise how much authority you have here, he looked like he was gonna crap himself" it was funny.

"When you name drop the Ash and the possibility of them getting reprimanded, they become pretty agreeable. So, what is this thing Gerald wants? A sphere or something?" Lauren let her into the Archive room after swiping her identification card.

Bo walked into the room, going to the shelf she saw this morning when Lachlan told her it wasn't to be touched. "Ah ha! This's it! Not sure of the name. It's pretty battered. I don't get why it's so special" she picked it up and played with it in her hands.

Lauren saw what it was, and if she'd known it was this item she wouldn't have let her take it. "Bo, this isn't just some heirloom. It holds a lot of dark magic—" She was interrupted when she heard footsteps from outside. "Wait here, I'll check if it's clear" she ran to the door.

As she was playing with the sphere, Bo noticed it had a seal running around it. She turned both sides, and the sphere clicked. The runes engraved around it began to glow white. "Uh, code red!" She panicked. "Is it gonna blow?!"

"Bo, put it down!" Lauren tried to take steps towards her, but by the time she reached her there was a flash of light.

When Bo opened her eyes, she saw that she was still in the Archive room. "Lauren?" She didn't see her friend. Did she leave her here? No, Lauren would never do that. Maybe she went to check if the coast was clear. She held the sphere in her hands as she went for the door. "Hello?"

She poked her head out the door and saw no one. "What the hell happened to the lights?" She didn't remember it being this dark out here. She continued to walk down the hall, which led to the Throne Room. Maybe Lachlan called Lauren away.

Bo opened the big mahogany doors and saw Lauren at the end of the room next to what should've been Lachlan's desk. But, he was nowhere around and the room looked different. "Hey? Thanks for ditching me! Where'd you go?"

Lauren turned around and revealed a scar that travelled down her right eyebrow and down to the corner of her eye. This wasn't right.

"What the hell happened to your face?" She asked.

That question made Lauren laugh, "Funny sweetie, really funny…" she leaned in and gave her a kiss. "… I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got a meeting with the Elders and I'd rather not have them down my throat today. I'll see you in a bit" she kissed her cheek, and then left.

Bo was left standing there, frozen in confusion. "This's a joke, right?" She was asking herself more than anyone. But as she walked to the desk, she saw things that made her think differently. There were pictures of her and Lauren.

Together, and very lovingly so.

She was interrupted by the sound of the door opening behind her, it was Dyson. And he looked different too, he had burns over the right side of his face. "What happened to you?"

"What'd you mean?" He frowned.

"Your face…" She stepped towards him, "… Who did that to you?" She went to touch him, but he slapped her hand away. "Umm, ow!"

He stepped back, "Sorry, but I don't need your Wife scarring me again. You know how she feels about us being close to each other. Are you trying to get me killed?"

Bo was blown away by his words, "My Wife?" She thought, and then she went back to the pictures and the fact that Lauren kissed her and called her sweetie. "You mean Lauren? Lauren, did this to you?" That wasn't possible.

"Look, I dunno what kind of game you're playing. But I'm not in the mood, I only came to tell her that we caught a spy in the lower levels. He was attempting to break into the vault. I thought she'd wanna deal with him personally. Let her know" he turned around and left.

The only thing Bo was summarising here, was that Lauren was some kind of leader in this place. Given the way Dyson spoke about her. But that still didn't explain everything else. Like how did Bo get here, wherever this place is?

Then it came to her, the sphere! She looked down to her hands and it looked the same as it did when she picked it up. Except there was no glow. And as Bo tried to turn it like she did before, it wouldn't budge. "Come on you piece of shit! Work!" She tapped it hard.

But still nothing.

If this was some kind of alternate dimension, then Bo needed to know everything about this place. Dyson was going to be no help to her, not while he was afraid of Lauren of all people. And what the hell was she in this place? To be able to scar Dyson like that.

It just wasn't the sweet human Lauren she knew.

"Excuse me?"

Bo spun around, looking at guard. She asked him what he wanted and he told her that dinner was ready and asked if she wanted it in her quarters. "Yes!" She needed to know how to get to her own room, rather than wondering around. "Would you mind carrying this to my Quarters for me? It's very heavy" she handed it to him.

When he took it, she waited for him to leave so she could follow him. And she did, she followed him down the hall and to the right. They stopped at two golden doors, and inside was the stunning suite she'd ever seen. This was her home? It was an upgrade for sure.

She looked for some further evidence as to where she was, but she couldn't find anything. Only more pictures, one of which was her and Lauren on what looked to be their wedding day. Bo looked great in a black dress, and Lauren looked even better in a dark red number.

Weren't they supposed to wear white on their wedding day?

The only conclusive thing she knew, was that this Sphere was the thing that brought her here. So, she needed to know just what this thing was, and why did it bring her here. Until then, she had to play along with this world.

She went to the bedroom and checked the closet, there were nice outfits inside. Definitely expensive. She thought about changing her current outfit, maybe the other Bo didn't dress this way. But she didn't have time because someone had entered her quarters.

"Bo?" Lauren's voice echoed through the room.

"Be right there!" Bo took a minute to compose herself. She had to get this right. Drawing suspicion would be bad. She went to the living room and saw Lauren taking her shoes off. "Rough day at the office?"

Chuckling, Lauren nodded. "Every day's a rough day, but as long as I get to come home to you it's all worth it. What about you? Did you get up to much today?" She walked across the room to the mini bar.

That was the million-dollar question, what the hell did Bo say? "Uh, not really. It's been kind of a slow day. Dyson was looking for you though. He said something about an intruder" changing the subject was better.

"Yeah I know, he caught me just as I was leaving the meeting. It was Vex…" Lauren poured herself some scotch. "… He was trying to steal a book from the vault"

Bo was actually glad to hear a familiar name. "Vex? Hmm. What kind of book was it? Was it important?"

"Well, since it was a book of ancient spells; I'm gonna say yeah, it's pretty important. Just like the Light Fae, getting desperate now they know they're losing the war" Lauren knocked back her drink.

Light Fae?

Vex, was Light Fae in this world. That meant that Lauren was Dark Fae, but how could a human have this much authority? Unless, she wasn't human in this world. Bo had to fish for more information.

"So, I assume you're gonna take care of him then? The same way you took care of Dyson?" She wanted to know what power this version of Lauren had.

The mention of that made Lauren giggle. "Am I ever gonna live that down? What happened to Dyson, was an accident. Kind of. I didn't like the way he was talking about you. I got mad, and I lost control. It's not like it'll happen again"

"That's not what Dyson thinks" Bo said, thinking back to how worried he was earlier.

"Good, that means he's scared…" Lauren liked that. "… Fear goes a long way in this world. Something Vex will learn soon enough. But not tonight. Because tonight, I wanna spend some quiet time with my Wife" she waved her over to the bar.

It felt weird for Bo hearing that. Knowing that she and Lauren were actually married in this world. And also wondering what it would be like in their world. "That sounds like a plan. But if you need to take care of business first then I don't mind" it would give her more time to look around.

"Just because I'm the Morrigan, doesn't mean this job is my life. If I was gonna let it rule every decision I make, then why did I bother making a life for myself? Bo, you mean more to me than any piece of business. I love you" Lauren reached for her.

And Bo didn't know why, but she felt drawn to her. And she couldn't stop her mouth from saying the words; "I love you too" she gave her a kiss. It didn't matter if this was a different world, or universe, because Lauren was Lauren. And Bo had known for a while that she felt strongly for her.

But she still couldn't get over the fact that Lauren of all people, was the Morrigan in this place. What happened to Evony? And if Dyson worked for Lauren, then that meant he was Dark too. Bo did the thinking in her head. Dyson and Lauren were Dark here and Vex was Light.

This was a mirrored world of her own. Everything was the opposite of what it was back home.

The only thing that didn't make sense to Bo, was where was this universe's Bo? Was she going to run into her and have her own cover blown?

Where the hell was she?

Light Fae Compound - World #1

The shining white light dimmed down slightly, and Lauren saw Bo standing there. Only, she was in different clothing. "Bo? Are you okay? Did the sphere hurt you?" She rushed over to her.

"Sphere?" Bo blinked, what the hell was that? "What're you talking about—" she looked at her Wife, only she looked different. "What happened to your scar?" She didn't see anything on Lauren's face. "It's gone"

Lauren was confused, "Scar? What scar?"

"The one Evony gave you during your inauguration…" Bo was so lost, this wasn't right. Something was definitely wrong here. "… You're not her!" She got mad, and her eyes turned blue. "Who the hell are you, and what have you done with my Wife?!" She grabbed her throat, and threw her into one of the shelves.

Everything in that sentence, made Lauren panic. More so, because she was currently being choked to death by Bo. "Bo? What're you doing? It's me, Lauren!" She tried to pry her hands away, but she was too strong.

Bo shook her head, "You think I'm that stupid? I've been married to Lauren for over a hundred years! I know my Wife, and you're not her. You don't even smell like her! So, again; who are you?" She tightened her grip for a few seconds, then dropped Lauren completely.

Lauren's hands went to her sore neck as she coughed, she watched Bo drop to the ground with two darts in her back. Looking up, she saw a guard by the door along with Lachlan who didn't look very pleased. "Much appreciated, thank you" a few minutes more and her throat would've been crushed.

Lachlan stepped inside the room, taking one look at Bo, then at Lauren, and finally to the shelf he warned Bo not to go near this morning. "She used it, didn't she?" He got no answer from Lauren, "The Sphere! Did she activate it?!"

"I'm not sure what happened, we were standing here and then all of a sudden there was a bright light and I couldn't see! When it faded, Bo was here but she was different. The things she said—" Lauren was still processing over the word Wife. "She wasn't making sense"

He was afraid of this, this was why he told her not to touch it. "If Bo activated it, then she took it with her when she left" he knew how it worked.

"Left? What're you talking about? She's right here!" Lauren pointed to her unconscious body on the floor.

"That's not Bo…" he needed to clarify. "… At least, not the Bo you or I know. That Sphere, has the power to open a gate to a parallel world. One that's the exact opposite to our own. Whoever uses the Sphere, trades places with their counterpart from that world. This Bo, is the opposite to the Bo we know. Which means our Bo, is trapped over there"

Lauren was now fully panicking. "How do we get her back?"

He wished it was that simple. "With the Sphere, but she's taken it with her. Its energy would've been depleted upon use. It'll need to recharge, but that could take weeks. We better hope she figures it out on her end, because the longer the worlds are out of balance, the worse it is. In the meantime, we need to keep this one isolated" he looked to the alternate Bo.

"Maybe we should question her?" Lauren wondered. "If her world is different to ours maybe they have access to magic that we don't. It's worth a try, right?" Anything was something.

Lachlan agreed, "Alright, go with them to her cell. But under no circumstances are you to be close to her. If her earlier attack is any indication, this Bo isn't very trusting" he told his men to take her.

"Something she and our Bo have in common" Lauren said. Bo never trusted anyone she didn't know. She was big on earning trust.

They had to find out what happened, and where that thing sent their Bo. And more importantly, how they were going to get her back.
