They were kissing. Fingers were intertwined, legs were entangled, bodies were pushed together, and they were kissing. There was no urgency to these kisses though, no sexual need behind them. Just two people enjoying the moment of being this close to one another. Both of them were lying on their sides facing one another in Bo's bead. Their lips hadn't parted for what seemed like hours. According to Tamsin, kissing was a hell of a lot easier than talking about their feelings anyway.

However, it had to stop at some point. Even though it was the last thing she wanted to do, the valkyrie slowly pulled back, "I should probably get going." Her eyes opened glancing up into beautiful, brown pools that made it even harder for her to mean what she said.

Bo pulled her back to her mouth and continued kissing her. "Now?" She said in between pecks, sounding disappointed.

Tamsin stopped again, but didn't pull away this time. "It's almost morning. Kenzi and Dyson about caught us last time. You wanting to give them another chance?" After her last word she resumed their lip action.

"Not really," She groaned through their kisses.

Tamsin pulled away again with her casual smile and looking into the brunette's eyes.

"Maybe it'll be easier if we go to your place next time." Bo smiled back.

The blonde chuckled and turned now lying on her back. "No, this is definitely easier."

Bo furrowed her brow. "Where do you live anyway? I've never actually seen your place."

Tamsin sat up and reached for her shirt. "Believe me, you have." She threw her shirt on gracefully and stood up.

The succubus had a puzzled look on her face, but she didn't question it.

Leaning over the bed, the blonde spoke only an inch away from Bo's mouth. "I'll see ya later, hot stuff." As Bo leaned up to kiss her goodbye, Tamsin had already pulled away and headed out of the room.

When Tamsin stepped out the front door, instantly there was a slam right to her jaw knocking her down to her knees.

She groaned. "That Morrigan is really starting to piss me off."

She stood up and dodged another flying fist coming her way. She threw a punch herself hitting the giant man across his face, but as far as she could tell it didn't phase him at all. Not noticing another brute coming up behind her, he brought an elbow down hard on her shoulder. The valkyrie fell to the ground with a cry of pain. Both men immediately began kicking her. She threw her arms up to block her face, but the pain was sudden in her stomach, ribs, legs, and back.

They stopped their brutal kicks, and one of the muscle men kneeled down. Tamsin was too weak and beaten to hold her arms up anymore and stared at the guy with her eyelids already half closed, feeling as if she was going to pass out any second.

"She would really like you to reconsider." The giant said, and the last thing she saw was him raising his fist and bringing it down to her skull as everything went black.


"Bo!" Kenzi screamed standing in the doorway of the clubhouse. "Any idea why there's an unconscious valkyrie on our doorstep?"

"What?" Bo called back rushing to the door.

When she reached the porch she looked down, and there she was. Tamsin was lying facedown not moving. Bo quickly fell to her knees next to her and rolled her over. "Tamsin!"

She had her in her arms. The valkyrie's head lolled back. There was a bruise forming above her right eye and blood running down her nose.

"Damn." Kenzi whispered.

Bo lifted the blonde's head and brought her mouth close to hers. She parted her lips slightly and started pushing out her own bright orange chi. To her surprise, the flow of the chi turned away from Tamsin's mouth and dissipated into the air.

"What the hell?" Kenzi asked, seeing the strange scene.

The succubus was shocked. She had never seen anything like that happen before. "I don't know. Help me get her inside."

The two girls lifted her up and managed to get her to the couch. When they got her comfortable, Bo kneeled down next to the couch placing a hand over top of the blonde's. Kenzi looked at them curiously taking in the sight. Bo was usually caring and worrisome when it came to any of their friends, but this seemed a little more intimate than usual. Also, what was Tamsin doing here anyway?

Bo noticed Kenzi staring and stood up. "She'll be ok. I'm sure she'll come around soon."

Kenzi nodded. "Do you want me to stay with you til she wakes up?"

"No, go do your thing. I'll see you at the Dal later tonight, ok?"

"You know it," The young girl replied and left.

Bo sat on the floor in front of the couch. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes waiting until Tamsin came to.

It wasn't much longer until she heard a painful groan and a stir on the couch. The succubus sat up and turned around just as the blonde's eyes fluttered open. Tamsin brought a hand to her head and let out another groan. "Bo?"

She offered her a warm smile, "Hey you."

"Ugh were we that rough last night?" She asked her head still swirling with pain.

Bo couldn't help but laugh. This made the blonde smile and after a few seconds she couldn't help but laugh as well. It was different hearing her laugh this way. Normally, the valkyrie only laughed out of spite or sarcasm. It felt really good to Bo to know there was more to her than just that. Obviously, she liked her just how she was, but seeing new parts of her was very refreshing. It felt particularly good that she was the only one seeing this side of her too.

"Well, I'm going to assume you're ok if you can still crack jokes," Bo finally said.

"Yeah. I heal extremely fast. A few more hours of rest, I'll be as good as new." She winked. Although, she wasn't sure if that were exactly true anymore with her impending doom on its way.

"Then come on. Let's get you up to the bedroom where it's more comfortable. I could use a nap myself. I didn't really get that much sleep last night, you know." Bo said that last part with a little seductiveness to her voice.


After a few hours, Tamsin awoke. Relieved, she actually felt fine. She sat up trying not to awake Bo, but to no avail.

"Hey, are you ok?" Bo said sitting up as well.

"Yep. Like I said, good as new. Perks of being a valkyrie." Tamsin smirked.

"You know, I tried to heal you. With my chi, I mean." Bo stated still a bit confused about what went down earlier.

"I have a set life cycle, Bo. I told you, there's nothing you can do about it." Tamsin tried her hardest to sound like it didn't matter to her.

Turning towards her, the brunette responded, "I hate that. I have to do something." Her eyes had a pleading look. After what they've started and discovered about each other, she couldn't lose her. Not now.

It hurt the valkyrie's heart to hear Bo sound so helpless when it came to her. However, in her eyes there really was nothing else she could do, and she was at a loss of words to try and make her feel better. Instead, she got off the bed and told her, "I better go check in with Dyson before he comes looking for me again." Then she hurried out of the room leaving the one person she cares about alone to dwindle on how she was about to leave her new lover forever. She knew it wasn't right to just up and leave her at a moment like this, but that was what she normally did, right? When emotions got real (especially with Bo) Tamsin normally didn't know how to handle it and would just turn her back. Running away from her feelings instead of dealing with them.


Bo went to the Dal trying to keep her mind off the hot, ballsy, valkyrie. Unfortunately, it was next to impossible seeing she was basically all she could think about as of late. She took a seat next to Kenzi thinking her bestie would have other things to talk about, but her first question was, "How is Tamsin doing?"

"She's good. Almost like it never happened."

"What's up with you two, anway?" Bo was a little caught off guard by the question.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you told me you guys kissed a couple times, you were pretty worried about her this morning, and I might have ran by the house earlier and saw you guys cuddling in your bed together." With that last point she made an 'oops' face.

Smiling in defeat, Bo replied, "I really don't know what to call it. We've been...sneaking around, I guess." She gave Kenzi an apologetic look.

The younger woman hit her arm. "Dude! Why wouldn't you just tell me?"

"You know how you were with the last dark fae I was with! Also, there's some complications, and she doesn't exactly want Dyson to know. He still loves me, and him being her partner and all.."

Kenzi looked away feeling a little hurt that her best friend didn't share any of this with her. "I see."

"You're not mad, right? It just happened so fast." Bo wrapped an arm around the woman's back.

The black haired girl looked up into her best friend's eyes. She couldn't be mad at her. She understood why Bo would be hesitant to tell her, and they were basically sisters. How could she stay angry with her? "Of course not. I'm happy for you."

"Good." Bo kissed her on the cheek. "Now, I need to go talk to Trick."


I can't believe I'm doing this. Tamsin thought clutching a file close to her side. She knocked on the door in front of her and let out a heavy sigh.

They door opened slowly revealing Kali behind it. "Detective," She simply stated.

"I got some information for you," Tamsin replied back stepping inside the door.
