Lost Girl: Tamsin & Kenzi
Author's Note: Enjoy! Plz.
Ch 4
"Ready?"
"Lets get our sh*t back."
...
Tamsin narrowed her eyes, taking in the surroundings of the place and noticing Bo doing the same thing to her left.
The succubus narrowed her eyes at the back of the Druid's head. "Lava... cages... creepy druid."
Massimo only chuckled lightly not turning around, almost anticipating their uninvited, less than graceful arrival.
"Tough times in parts unknown?" He continued with his cooking or...potion.
"Your rune glass potion fell flat, Massimo."
The man smirked to himself. "Yeah, I'm not so sure that it did. Thanks to the seal from your kiss, Kenzi."
He'd been sensed the other woman's presence behind him.
"What, kiss?"
The Druid quickly spun around, eyes meeting slight enraged ones...he was not anticipating that.
Kenzi quickly took the lead, stepping in front of the Valkyrie before she could make a move. "Tamsin...it wasn't like that."
The Valkyrie's eyes transfixed on the brunette's, eyes only slightly softening and jaw unclenching.
The Valkyrie's eyebrows rose in question.
"Okay, It kinda was..." The blonde's eyes started to harden again. "But! it wasn't, An-and he used me!" The brunette spun on the Druid, glaring. "You used me! Rune glass potion or not, I like to know when I'm sealing something."
Gulping shakily, he only looked past the brunette's shoulder, eyes widening. "Y-your alive?"
Stepping closer, the blonde narrowed her eyes dangerously. "H*ll yeah I'm alive, but you won't be when I shove my-"
"Tamsin!" Bo finally spoke up from behind the couple, eyes giving the Valkyrie a pointed look. "Don't you think the fact that Kenzi and Massimo kissed is sort of maybe clouding your morals here?"
The blonde turned side ways to look at the succubus behind them. "What morals, Bo!? You're seriously telling me you don't wanna hang the little Druid from his-"
"Tamsin!" This time, the scolding came from her girlfriend beside of her.
Tamsin shrugged in almost 'What'd I say?' fashion, just as the brunette pulled her back around to face the teetering Druid.
"Massimo, what is a rune glass potion? And why did you use me for it?"
It was Bo who spoke up behind her, making the couple turn towards her simultaneously. "He gave Tamsin a potion to kill me."
There was a silence in the room.
"Wh-what?" Came the broken whisper from beside the blonde, making the Valkyrie look towards her girlfriend, biting her lip in slight guilt.
Massimo chuckled, almost giddy at that fact. "Oh yeah...I forgot you two are together now, and it's a mate thing...wow big deal for cold-hearted Valkyrie's." That gained him only a well deserved glare from the blonde before he turned towards the brunette human in front of him. "And Kenzi, I'm shocked. You fell for a dark-fae killer Valkyrieon opposite teams yet it's all true, after of course Bo unclaimed you as her pet."
The brunette let out a frustrated sigh, tears forming in her eyes. "I can handle myself, I'm nobody's pet." Her eyes transfixed on her Valkyrie's once more hesitantly.
"Tamsin, i-is that true, d-did y-"
Tamsin gulped. "I don't know." The Valkyrie cut off softly taking a step forward and gently taking the brunette's hands in hers, grateful she didn't pull away. "I-I don't know. I-I, if I did Kenzi, I swear it had to be for a liable reason o-or I don't know, maybe he hexed me or something...but I swear to god Kenz, I would never do something to hurt you like that, I know how much Bo means to you, even past me knew that much...please, believe me."
Staring deeply into green-blue eyes, Kenzi swallowed hard tears building up in eyes. "Tamsin...I-" The brunette paused, glancing down and back up. "Tamsin...I believe you."
The Valkyrie took a relieved breath. "Really?"
Kenzi nodded, a small smile on her features. "Yes, I trust you...and more importantly, I love you...you wouldn't do that to me."
A grin spread across the Valkyrie's features, quickly swooping down press a kiss to her girlfriend's lips.
"Actually, to mark you." A voice cut in, interrupting and almost making the brunette jump, completely forgetting they'd had audience.
She backed away from the now annoyed blonde, as the couple turned to face the voice.
Bo furrowed her eyebrows. "What?"
The Druid only chuckled amused. "Not to kill you...an insurance policy in case Tamsin didn't pan out." He'd turned his attention directly to the Valkyrie. "It's a shame that you died...and it's a real shame, you didn't."
The blonde only scowled, refusing to make any fatal moves yet...the Druid seemed to always have tricks up his little idiot sleeves.
Bo stepped forward, along side the couple now. "Listen, This is how this is gonna go, you're gonna give us our stuff back and then you're gonna leave my best friend alone.
The Valkyrie growled. "Yeah, she won't be requiring your services any longer."
The Druid pretended to think. "Mm..Nah. That doesn't really settle her debt, now does it?"
"No? How about a knee to your euro-sack?" Bo moved unnervingly closer, faux smile tainting her features. "Tamsin?"
Smirking viciously behind her, the Valkyrie stepped up beside the Succubus. "Gladly."
"Okay, okay!" Kenzi stood in between the three fae. "Why don't we just handle this like adults. Succubus, Valkyrie, Druid, human ... comin' together, Peace on Earth. We are the world. Kind of... stuff."
Tutting, the Druid gave a thoughtful look towards them. "I have a proposal."
"Mm, here comes the foursome request."
"Let's bank the quartet idea 'til next time. The Japanese Salsola Soda herb. It's very rare. But I hear it grows on the Light Fae Doctor's green wall. You get it for me, and we're even." He'd traced his wooden spoon over the brunette's cheek teasingly, gaining a glare from her and a near full on lunge fromher Valkyrie girlfriend before Bo stopped her...with her own restraint of course, they needed to think about Kenzi's well-being."
Gaping and barely noticing the blonde's anger toward the Druid, the brunette nearly skipped over towards their things. "Geraldine? I'm taking this back." She worked out her sword, almost getting a small smirk from her Valkyrie despite her anger and frustration with the Druid.
"What about our stuff?" Bo turned towards Massimo once again.
"You'll get back what I haven't burnt. Did you a favour, trust me. Those accent tables?" He gave in exaggerated look and Tamsin rolled her eyes annoyed.
"Fine. We'll get you the herb." The Succubus narrowed her eyes before turning back around to walk out with her best friend by her side.
Kenzi glared up at the Druid from her distance. "And my hairbrush? You can keep. Because that's not creepy at all..." She walked away with Bo.
Tamsin stayed behind eyes narrowed dangerously at the Druid in front of her.
"What?" He was obviously a little cocky, knowing the Valkyrie couldn't touch him unless she wanted Kenzi protected and safe from any dangerous fae or humans sent on her girlfriend. "You gonna kill me now-"
The man choked on his words as the Valkyrie slammed him against the counter by his shirt, face darkening with her powers.
The blonde moved in closer, growling lowly. "No...not yet anyway, but if you don't hold up your end of the bargain, I will kill you." The Valkyrie stared into the Druid's, he obviously trying to keep his tough cover but nervous...if not a little petrified.
Staring into the male's eyes a bit longer, the blonde finally leaned back letting go of his shirt roughly, nose flaring slightly before jogging to catch up with the two brunette's a few feet away, obviously seeing and catching the conversation that just went on between the two.
Touching her shoulder, Kenzi looked over to her girlfriend concerned. "You okay?"
The brunette had seen her eyes again.
Quickly spinning around towards her, the blonde took in her girlfriend before smiling slightly and leaning down to kiss her on the lips before pulling away. "Yeah, why?"
Slowly opening her eyes, the brunette looked up into green-blue eyes once again, grateful for the lack of dark smoky grayish-black.
Biting her lip, the brunette shook her head. "Uh, nothing."
Kenzi avoided her best friend's curious stare on the side of her, she knew she'd seen Tamsin's eyes also.
"Okay. Well in that case...lead the way." Taking her hand, the blonde grinned back at the smiling brunette before they made there way to the exit.
Bo strolling behind them, rolling her eyes before calling after them. "Tamsin! You're hogging my best friend!"
The brunette heard light laughter ring out in the distance. "Deal with it Succubus...she's mine!"
The Succubus pouted playfully grumbling. "I had her first."
"Oh...sure you did, Bo...she was mine all along, hence the term mates!"
The brunette flared in front of her.
"Stupid, Valkyrie hearing."
- (Lauren's Apartment) -
"So...you kissed him, for information?"
"For the vial, yes." Kenzi explained, stepping onto the step ladder before looking down at the Valkyrie.
"And...what happened after that?"
"Nothing, absolutely nothing Tam-Tam." She reached up to look through the huge plant, Tamsin below her leaning against the ladder. "I swear if he would've taken advantage of me like that I would help hold him down while you and Bo-Bo gut him...like poor." The brunette sniffed dramatically. "Sir, Harold Gup."
Tamsin quirked an eyebrow. "Sir Harold Gup?"
"Yeah...Sir, Harold Gup. My guppy fish...you remember him, don't you Bo?" The brunette threw a reprimanding look over her shoulder before going back to looking for the Japanese herb.
"Kenzi it's been two years, let it go already. I told you, I didn't mean it. How was I supposed to know what temperature to keep the little guy in?"
"Bo, I was MIA for two daysand you let him freeze to death, and then to cover it up you gave him to Trick who gutted him for...whatever he did it. How could you not know how to take care of a fish?"
The succubus gave her an incredulous look. "Lots of people don't know how to take care of fish...Tamsin?"
The brunette on the step ladder stopped her movements to turn towards the blonde also, crossing her arms over her chest. "Tamsin?"
Leaning off the ladder slowly, the blonde rose her eyebrows looking in between the two best friends. "No, no no. I'm not getting in the middle this, I have no opinion because I've never owned a fish."
Both parties seemed satisfied with the blonde's answer, turning back to what they were doing. Kenzi looking for the plant and Bo looking through one of Lauren's boring doctor magazines.
"Multiple sclerosis occurs much less frequently in tropical and semitropical areas than in cold parts of the world. You can even map it out by latitudes...it's like I don't even know her at all."
"Bo your little wolf boy-toy is a gymrat and your girlfriend's a poindexter, face it."
"Dyson's not my little 'boy-toy' and Lauren is not a poindexter, Tamsin."
That gained her two pointed looks from both of them.
"Okay, so maybe she's a bit of a nerd but hey! At least my girlfriend isn't..."
The Succubus stilled, momentarily forgetting on her best friend being the girlfriend of the Valkyrie as Tamsin looked on amused at the whole situation.
"At least my girlfriend isn't...you know? My lovable, adorable yet kick a** best friend who I love dearly."
Tamsin snorted along with Kenzi who continued to look through the plant for the absentee herb.
"Mm...right-Oh my god, I found it!"
"Ah, also why I love you."
Yanking the herb from the plant forcibly, the brunette shook the ladder loosing her balance.
Tamsin's eyes widened, instinctively stepping forward and catching the brunette in her arms before she hit the floor.
"Really, Kenz?" The blonde gently dropped her mate back on her feet. "Survives fighting off deadly Fae, humans, freak accidents, not to mention dealing with Bo on a daily basis...Kenz, I do not need you dying from falling from a ladder, that'd be traumatic not to mention humiliating for me as your mate-Ow!"
"Don't worry, I wasn't planning on it."
The Valkyrie held her bicep that'd been struck on each side from best friend and girlfriend simultaneously. "I was kidding guys geez." The blonde uttered as they'd reached the door, the barrier flaming up as they did so.
"Woah!" All three jumped back in union, flinching at the flames.
"Did you rim the door?" Bo turned towards her best friend.
"No."
Groaning, the Succubus made her way back into the apartment with Kenzi and Tamsin following.
"Ignis Rim Converterent. Trick mentioned this. Instead of keeping Fae out, it locks them in."
They reached back as Bo yanked the door open.
"...Massimo must have seen ours-" The door way flamed up once again as Bo attempted to step through.
The Succubus sighed."And he just graduated from a-hole to douche."
Tamsin rolled her eyes, arms crossing annoyed. "Okay, So what now?"
Stepping in front of the Fae, Kenzi positioned herself to jump. "Okay, let me try crossing...Warning, my poly-blend jacket is highly flammable."
"Kenzi, you sure you wanna do that?" Tamsin warned, hands dropping to the brunette's shoulders behind her.
"Not at all."
Bo smirked. "Drop and roll, baby. Drop and roll."
"Okay, okay..." The brunette made a quick jump at barrier, flames burning her as she jumped back instinctively into her Valkyrie, the blonde's arms coming to wrap around her. "Ah! Oh god! It stings like a mother!" She shook out her hand, holding it carefully.
Tamsin grimaced, only being able to imagine the pain. "Well, I did ask."
Bo glared at the doorway before making her back into the apartment, past the couple in frustration.
"What sick game is Massimo playing at?"
...
"I can't believe he Kenzi-proofed it. He's playing off my power." She'd groaned, strutting towards one of Lauren's chairs sitting down.
Bo's eyebrows rose behind her. "How do we make you stop sparking?"
"Ugh, it kinda just runs out. You know, like sunscreen. Reapply after swimming." The brunette sighed.
Tamsin crossed her arms. "Come on Kenz, isn't there anything? We have to get out of here and Bo and I sure as h*ll aren't crossing the barrier anytime soon." The blonde abruptly scooped the brunette up in her arms, gaining a surprised squeal from her before sitting down and bringing the other woman down on her lap.
"Tam-Tam!" The brunette hit the the Valkyrie's shoulder before snuggling into it, wrapping her arms around the blonde's neck."Give a girl a warning, will you?"
The Valkyrie chuckled softly. "Can't say I'm sorry..."
Rolling her eyes, Bo smirked at the disgustingly cute couple before moving into the kitchen slowly. "So...anything, Kenz?"
The brunette sighed. "I mean...I guess I can take a shower... but I... I really don't want to get my hair wet. It's an ordeal.
"I hear ya."
"You know what though, I probably should wash it. Is Lauren's conditioner the worst?" The brunette leaned up to kiss her Valkyrie.
"It's the worst." Bo agreed, glancing over toward the distracted couple before going filling the pal up with water.
Pulling away from their kiss much to Tamsin's dismay, the brunette continued rambling. "Does it even contain humectants? God knows what that woman puts in her hair. She cannot be trusted..."
"Right, right."
"...and I don't know about you but I need a little peach in my shampoo-ah!"
The couple gasp as the cold water hit them both.
Bo smirked satisfied as Tamsin glared up at her, soaked.
The Valkyrie cursed the momentary distraction effect her mate's kiss had on her, her abilities as a Valkyrie always seemed to fade around the beautiful woman.
The unaligned fae patted the Valkyrie on her shoulder 'comfortingly'. "Sorry, Tamsin. We had to get sparky here to stop well...sparking."
"And this included me, why?"
Bo shrugged. "Eh, You were there." She pulled her also soaking wet best friend off the Valkyrie's lap, leading her towards the door, Tamsin behind them glaring so hard at the brunette an outsider could have sworn the Succubus would be knocked unconscious even without the Valkyrie using her powers.
Kenzi shivered as they reached the door again, spatting out the water that filled in her mouth. "Refreshing, Bo."
"Attagirl. Now, if the only one who can remove a rim is the one who set it..."
"No, we have to scramble it. One Pakua Mirror and ogre eye, required."
The brunette was smug now, looking in between the two fae. "Am I the new Trick?" She stood in front of them, raising her eyebrows.
"Can you get all that stuff?" Tamsin questioned, gaining am incredulous stare from her girlfriend.
"Have you met me, baby?" The brunette stepped forward, hands attaching themselves to the Valkyrie's jacket lapels and dropping her voice to a low whisper. "Believe me, I'm gonna save your a**." She leaned up to peck the blonde on the lips.
Tamsin's smirk widened as her eyebrows rose. "Hey, I'm not complaining..." Her arms wound themselves around her girlfriend's waist. "...as long as you keep your own safe out there okay? I can't save youfrom behind this barrier."
"Mm..." The brunette hummed, leaning up to peck the blonde's lips once more. "Of course, Tam-Tam. I should be the worried one, I wasn't the one killed just a few months ago."
The blonde scratched the back of her neck with the arm not on her mate's waist.
Kenzi shook her head, amused at the Valkyrie's rare guilty expression. "Oh..suck it up, Tam-Tam. I'm not angry anymore."
She smirked before spinning around on her best friend, pointing. "And you, I'm gonna save your a** also,forget Trick, I'm the new Bo." The brunette waltz through the barrier without it flaming like h*ll, leaving a chuckling Bo and a grimacing Tamsin behind her.
"That joke too real for you there, Tamsin?"
The Valkyrie groaned.
"Shut up, Bo."
- (Two Hours Later) - (Time Skip) -
"Wooooo...too Kenzi!"
"Too, Kenzi!"
Two glasses clanked together, all shots going down in seconds.
None of two drunk yet...but obviously planning on it.
Tamsin glowered as the two brunette's made it too the couch with drinks in hand, her trailing behind them, slouching on the couch.
"So...I really can't drink, tonight?"
"Nope."
"No way, Tam-Tam. Underage drinking is illegal, not too mention we don't know what type of reaction it would get out of you as your not fully grown self yet."
The Valkyrie groaned.
"Aww...Tam-Tam, don't brood. We're having fun."
The Valkyrie groaned once more before leaning over to catch the brunette's lips, slowly pulling away. "Fine...I won't brood. Only because you said so."
"And...?"
Sighing at the moment broken moment from the Succubus, she narrowed her eyes leaning back against the couch. "And...?"
"And because she's the boss of you."
The blonde's eyebrows rose incredulously, immediately sitting up. "The boss?" She questioned, earning a nod and a smug smirk from the Succubus. "Of me?"
Kenzi looked in between the two fae, wearily. "Okay...guys lets not-"
*Beep*
Kenzi sighed relieved. "Saved by the bell."
Checking her phone, the succubus grinned, turning towards the other two in the room.
"Sorry, guys...Tweener tude I'd love to have this little conversation later if you're up for it but I've gotta go, I have uh...business to attend too."
Standing up, the brunette leaned over the Valkyrie to kiss her best friend on the head, unintentionally blocking Tamsin's view of the TV.
The Valkyrie rolled her eyes.
'Business to attend to' obviously meant I have to go have mind blowing sex with either Lauren or Dyson so don't wait up.
"See you later, babe." The brunette grabbed her jacket before making her way towards the door. "No running off again while I'm gone!"
The woman paused at the door, turning her back. "Tweener tude I don't care how old you are, don't you dare let her run off again!"
The blonde seethed. "It wasn't my fault the first time!"
The Valkyrie got a door slamming in response, the succubus had already left.
Kenzi smiled, snuggling closer into her brooding girlfriend.
"Don't worry." The brunette pulled the Valkyrie's attention slowly away from the TV, smirking up at her, leaning in close. "I don't plan on running away anytime soon."
She'd sealed it with a kiss on the now grinning Valkyrie's lips before pulling away, the blonde breathed out.
"Good to know." She smashed their lips together once more, more passionate than the first.
"God." Moaned the brunette as the blonde's tongue entered the woman's mouth, hands wondering up and down the brunette's body.
The blonde pulled away, breathing uneven. "Oh babe. God's a little too formal, Tamsin will do."
Grinning, the brunette leaned backward on the couch, dragging the Valkyrie with her by her shirt, pulling the blonde down on top of her. "Show me watcha got, Valkyrie."
The brunette wrapped her arms around the Valkyrie's neck as the blonde moved their lips together once more. "Mm...much."
*Knock, Knock*
The Valkyrie groaned, resting her forehead against her mates.
*Knock, Knock*
"Tamsin..." Warned her mate.
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"Please don't make me-"
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"The door, babe. Whoever it is, is obviously not giving up anytime soon."
Sighing, the blonde lifted from her lover and stood from the couch, muttering multiple profanities under her breath as she made her way to the door.
"She really is the boss of me."
*Knock, Knock, Knock-*
On the couch, Kenzi sat up, sighing. "God have mercy on the unlucky bastard on the other side of that door." The brunette leaned against the couch grabbing the remote to the TV before yelling over her shoulder. "No killing!"
Smirking as she grabbed the handle, the Valkyrie shook her head.
But swinging open the door, the grin immediately dropped from her lips.
The Valkyrie sighed.
"What do youwant?"
