The Morning After
Companion to The Valkyrie's Failsafe
Pairing: Bo & Tamsin
Rating: T for Femslash & Language
Waking up next to Bo the morning after was sure something. Tamsin is ready to pursue a relationship with Bo, but will others stand in their way?
The next night, Tamsin, Dyson and Bo pulled up to the club. Bo could see the place dripping sexual energy. Whoever was killing these men would easily find someone at that club. All three of them were in club attire, but still practical to catch a killer with. Dyson had a white tank, with a blue flannel, accompanied by jeans and sneakers. He had hidden a gun in the waist band of his pants. The detectives had informed the club manager of what they were doing and he allowed one of the officers to carry a gun, as long as it was concealed and not used in the club at all costs. Tamsin was wearing a silver singlet with black skinny jeans. The Valkyrie was also wearing flats since she would most likely be doing some running that night.
On her arm was Bo, and she was looking absolutely gorgeous that night. She was wearing a short, single strap black dress that came up to her upper thighs. As usual, she was also wearing her knee high black boots. Bo had to admit she was also trying to impress the blonde, and by the looks Tamsin had been giving her on the way over, she was succeeding. "Okay you two, you know the drill, we go in, look for anyone suspicious. There are only two exits, through the front door, and the back door. If my guess is correct the killer will most likely go through the back door, down the alley, to the pier. I'll be standing near the back door while you two scout." Tamsin and Bo nodded. They knew what they needed to do.
Entering the club, the lights were dimmed, the dance floor illuminated. It was going to be hard to find their killer. Fortunately, the club wasn't too large and there weren't too many people either. Dyson walked towards the back entrance, leaving Tamsin and Bo to look around. "So succulet, do you care to dance?" Tamsin said to Bo as she offered her hand to the succubus. Bo cocked her head to one side.
"Why detective, are you shirking your duties to dance with little old me?" Tamsin smirked.
"Of course not, I thought we could scout out the dance floor first." Bo smiled and took Tamsin's hand as the blonde drug Bo onto the dance floor. Bo wrapped her arms around Tamsin's neck, as Tamsin grabbed the succubus' waist, pulling her closer. The couple shuffled around the dance floor, looking for signs of their killer. Bo couldn't help but occasionally look up at Tamsin, gazing into the Valkyrie's bright green eyes, often getting lost in them. Tamsin noticed a few times, and smirked at the succubus, although she felt the throbbing of her heart when she caught Bo looking at her. She could see the love in the succubus' eyes. Tamsin glanced over at the bar.
"Bo, I think I see our killer." She nodded over toward the woman sitting at the bar. She looked almost like Alyson. She was a gorgeous brunette, tall and had legs that went on for miles. She was sitting very close to a young man; short, sandy hair, fairly muscular. She appeared to be laughing at something he said. She smiled seductively at him, as she grabbed his hand and headed for the back exit. "We're going to have to cut this dance short succubus; we've got a killer to catch." She and Bo proceeded to follow the two, hoping that Dyson had seen them.
He had and met up with them at the back door. Giving the couple ahead of them time to move, the trio quickly and quietly opened the back door, as they saw two shadows walking hand in hand towards the street. The quietly followed the pair, and as they thought, the woman had led her victim to the pier. The two seemed to be leaning against the railing. Dyson suddenly caught a whiff of the downwind from the pair, and his eyes widened. "She's fae." Tamsin looked at Dyson, concerned.
"Do you know what kind?" Dyson shook his head.
"I can't tell, I just can smell the fae heritage on her. She's extremely old as well, I can smell that much." Tamsin sighed. She couldn't tell what kind of fae the killer was from that description.
"Um, guys, you may want to take a look at this." Bo pointed over at the couple. The woman had leaned over to kiss the male, as the two kissed, Bo could see with her enhanced vision, thanks to Tamsin, three other pairs of eyes developing on the female's face, all on the same level as the only pair she should have. The man had his eyes closed as they kissed, so he didn't notice. "Dyson, are you seeing this?" Dyson shook his head and Tamsin smirked.
"I guess a Valkyrie's vision is even better than yours wolf boy." Dyson huffed.
"Well at least my sense of smell is better." Bo shook her head.
"Will you guys bring it in? She developed three pairs of eyes on her head." Bo looked back to the pair they were observing. Tamsin's eyebrows furrowed, that sounded very familiar to her. The female was moving her kisses to the man's neck. Suddenly, a small pair of fangs grew from the women's mouth and bit into the man's neck, injecting numbing venom into him. He almost immediately collapsed into the woman's arms.
"Shit, we've let this get too far; we need to get in there now." Dyson growled and ran towards the couple. The female turned towards him, as Tamsin and Bo followed. Tamsin could now clearly see the woman, Bo had described her pretty well, and Tamsin knew what kind of fae this was, and even better she knew who it was. The woman hissed and crouched in a defensive position. Dyson was starting to wolf out, yellow eyes and claws suddenly showing themselves. The woman knew she couldn't defeat a shifter and the women with him. She looked quickly at them, noticed the blonde and gasped. She dropped the man's body and leaped over the rails into the bay, disappearing into the waters.
Dyson ran over to the rails; while Bo and Tamsin knelt down to examine the man. Dyson knew he couldn't peruse the woman, so he went over to Bo and Tamsin. "He'll be fine, when he wakes up he'll probably just think it was a dream, but just to be safe, Bo you need to compel him." Tamsin looked over at Bo, this was going to be one of the first times Bo had used Tamsin's powers. Bo gulped, she knew she could do it, because she shared Tamsin's knowledge, but she was still nervous. All that power at her disposal, she was already an insanely powerful succubus, who knew what the Valkyrie's powers would do to her. She was afraid if she used them, whatever force had been shadowing her would return. Tamsin felt Bo's hesitance and nervousness and the placed a hand on the succubus' shoulder, reassuring her everything would be okay.
Bo leaned down towards the man, calling her power forward, the shadows enveloping her face. Whispering in the man's ear, "This was all a dream, when you wake up, you're going to remember going out for a time at the bar, getting tanked and passing out on a street bench near the pier." Bo let the shadows slide from her face as she faced Tamsin, who nodded approvingly. The succubus already had a grasp on her powers, not that she had expected anything less from the succubus. Dyson picked the man up and set him down on a nearby wooden bench. Unfortunately they didn't know where the man lived, so they couldn't drop him off directly. Besides, Dyson and Bo had things to ask Tamsin. Tamsin looked at the two sheepishly. "I suppose I have some explaining to do." Bo and Dyson nodded. "So it's like this…"
A/N: Okay, so I know that was a mean cliffhanger, but each of these chapters I'm aiming to be about 1K words each or so, therefore that's where I'm leaving off. It was kind of a derpy chapter because it's kind of the action leading into the actual plot, so kind of a filler in some ways.
Tamsin does know the unknown Fae from the past, and although Bo shares Tamsin's knowledge and memories, since the bond between them is new, she doesn't know everything about Tamsin. Like I said in the summary, I'm taking a bunch of liberties with the Valkyrie's powers; enhanced eyesight for example. Tamsin has already shown to have something similar to the power to compel, except with doubt, I just tweaked it a little.
Anyways, I promise next chapter you'll find out what kind of Fae the woman is, if you haven't already. I don't think really anyone has because it's still a little vague, although with a few of the hints dropped in the chapter, I suppose you could possibly figure it out, haha. I will give you this though, she isn't a vampire. That's too easy. I hoped you guys were halfway satisfied with this chapter.
