A/N: A continued thanks for those of you that follow, favored, or write reviews on this story. I love reviews and to hear what everyone thinks good and bad. I did label this as Bo, Lauren and Tamsin. Since there will be CopDoc and Doccubus. I didn't want to label it just Doccubus because then people would be upset with the CopDoc element and I didn't want to say just CopDoc because then the Doccubus part would upset people. Also I can promise everyone who reads this that no one's heart will be broken in this story. I will not reveal or give anything else away other then the ending will be one of a kind. For those who wonder I usually take the fae species from Greek Mythology. Keep the reviews coming and enjoy.
Lauren stretched expecting to wake up alone with another note from the dark fae but to her surprise Tamsin was still in bed. Her alarm started to blare next to her as she spun around trying to shut it off before it woke the blonde fae. "I've been up," Tamsin said while Lauren's back was turned. "And you didn't jump out of bed to run out," the human smiled. The dark fae propped herself up on her one arm, "I told you I wasn't the love 'em and leave 'em type. Plus I wanted to ask you something," the blonde fae had her eyes locked onto the humans. "Okay then ask," she never saw the blonde fae so serious. Tamsin reached over and grabbed the doctor's hand that was once wrapped. "A little odd doc that you are all healed," she didn't even blink when she asked her. Lauren cringed dreading this conversation she sat up leaning against her head board, "Honestly I don't know what happened yet. I think the injections did something to my immune system and then the fae blood that I got stuck in my palm might have bonded with it," the doctor didn't face her when she spoke as she was just saying her own thoughts out loud.
Tamsin gave a half smirk, "Like the T-Virus, your body bonded to it like that. What fae?" During sex last night the wrapping came off and the blonde fae was going to rewrap it for her after she fell asleep and that was when she noticed how it was healed. Not wanting to wake the doctor up she decided to wait till the morning to ask her about it. Now it made sense her crazy injection did something to her and allowed her genetics to bond with the fae blood. "An Apollon," the human sighed as she answered. "Could have been worse, it could have been a succubus. Guess I don't have to worry about you on cases anymore," the Valkyrie teased. Lauren hit her with the pillow that was next to her. The blonde fae deflected it pulling the human into a kiss. Tamsin's cell rang she reluctantly pulled away from the doctor. She threw back the sheets as she got out of the bed completely naked. Lauren didn't mind the view and the dark fae was fully aware of it as she spoke on the phone she gave the blonde human a wink.
The blonde fae hung up her phone as she pulled Lauren out of the bed, "We should shower so I can get to work. Apparently my partner thinks I should be there every day," the Valkyrie rolled her eyes. "Showering together that definitely won't make either one of us late," Lauren gave a devious grin as she headed towards the shower. "I love being late," was the only response the blonde fae gave. Of course showering together led to other things which made them late. Tamsin dropped Lauren off at work before heading to the station herself. She told her they would go over whatever she discovers from the case last night after Bo leaves plus what was going on with the doctor with her new fae genetics.
Hale was standing outside of the lab with his arms crossed across his chest, "Dr. Lewis an hour late very nice of you to join us. You know Lauren I learned a lot of things about you when I went over your file when I first became Ash. It's what really opened my eyes to how much you have helped all of us over the years. And I think I have been good to you. We agreed on your salary, you are picking your medical and scientific team, I am giving you training time to do field work, and I get you late for the first time ever since you knew the fae." He wasn't pissed but he wasn't thrilled either. The missing fae was causing a lot of questioning throughout the fae community. As the Ash he wanted to get to the bottom as soon as possible. When he learned from Dyson that Lauren went with Tamsin to the crime scene last night the Ash was ecstatic. How great for the doctor to have a huge case like that and if she was to solve it the work would reflect on her as well as the light fae. It was a win-win situation but in order to get answers he actually needed her to show up on time.
The doctor gave a nod of understanding, "Your right Hale and I am sorry. I promise it will not happen again." Hale lowered an eyebrow as he looked at the doctor. There was something different about her and he couldn't place his finger on it. "I know you are going through a lot Lauren and I'm trying to be understanding here but I also have to be your boss. Get on those cases you went with Tamsin to last night and give me whatever answers you can as soon as possible. That's how you can make it up to me," he smiled at his long time friend as he knew that if anyone could get to the bottom of it then it would be his light fae doctor. "It's what I'm working on today," she responded as she went into the lab. She pulled out her notes from last night as she placed them on her desk.
The doctor decided to take another sample of her blood before she started to work on the case. As soon as she pulled the needle out of her arm the tiny hole closed. She shook her head as she watched it. This was something she wasn't going to get used to. She put the blood on the slide and looked through the microscope. Tamsin was right it was bonding with her blood. Her old genetics were being replaced by the mutated one. She felt like an X-Men. The human was trying not to concentrate on it. At first she thought it would be temporary but watching her cells proved otherwise. Her normal cells were pretty much nonexistent. You did a great job here doctor very well done a heartbeat away from being Wolverine. Now was not the time to over think it. What was done was done. She had enough on her plate with the cases and later Bo would be coming by. Now was definitely not the time to fixate on something that can't be changed.
The blonde human had the bodies brought into the medical facility so she could do tests and examine them more thoroughly. Clearing her head of everything else she got to work immediately. Looking over each body very carefully she examined every inch of each fae. Scribbling notes as she worked. There were many things that led her to believe this was definitely done by a human. First there was the fact that they were a mixture of Light and Dark Fae so it wasn't one side doing it to the other. Next there was the fact that the testing that seemed to be done was on the fae species itself. As if someone was testing their abilities and experimenting with them. No fae Light or Dark would disrespect the other in such a way. This was good distraction yet again. No time to think of Bo or what was going on with Tamsin she could just drown herself in her work.
Her cell rang snapping her out of her thoughts she glanced down at it to see a number she didn't recognize. "Hello, Dr. Lewis speaking," the doctor sounded completely professional not a hint to her voice all the confusion that was running through her mind. "Hi Dr. Lewis, it's your number one fan," Isaac laughed into the phone. The blonde knew his voice immediately, "Isaac I am sorry I did mean to give you a call and I apologize again." Lauren felt bad she never purposely blew someone off. "Don't worry about it. All I care about is if I got you on my team or not," Dr. Taft came off cocky and arrogant with his usual finesse. The blonde scientist grinned at his tone, "You won but I didn't take you as the stalker type." Dr. Taft leaned back in his chair as he put his feet on his desk, "I prefer super fan. When would you like to start?" Lauren looked around at all the papers she had, "I'm in the middle of a big project right now. Let me see what free time I get next week and we can take it from there." Isaac knew not to push or he could lose her on this, "I will anxiously wait till next week. Welcome to Taft Industries Dr. Lewis." Before he had the chance to hang up she wanted to remind the man who so persistently chased her down, "Part time only Isaac." He was just about to hang up the phone when he heard her response, "I'll take what I can get. Who knows when you are here you might not want to leave," and with that Isaac hung up before she had the chance to protest. Lauren shook her head hanging up the phone and returning to the work that Hale and Tamsin were depending on.
CRACK SHACK
Bo groaned as she went to sit up. It felt like someone had their foot on her side holding her in place. She pretty much had to wiggle out of bed. Walking towards the mirror she saw that today looked even worse than yesterday. She noticed Kenzi in the mirror, "I know don't say it. I look like hell." Her petite friend put her hands up innocently, "Could all be cured with Sexual Healing that's all I'm saying." The succubus gave a small laugh at her friend's references. Only Kenzi could word things the way she did. The tiny human circled around the brunette taking in all the bruises and cuts. "Bright side maybe HotPants will play doctor and fix you up." Bo grinned at her friend, "It's not always about sex Kenz." The goth gave a sarcastic smile as she stuck her hand out to the succubus, "Hi WonderSnatch have we met." The brunette gave up she knew she was going to lose this one.
She looked at the bruise on her side today it definitely was a shade of purple. The bruises on her arm were darker almost a deep blue color. The cut on her cheek now had a regular black and blue around it, her lip was slightly swollen, and her eye was just as swollen as the other night plus it was a shade darker. She faced Kenzi motioned with her one hand over all her bruises as she put a thumbs up with a sarcastic smile on. This was really not the way she wanted to look when she got to have a heart to heart with Lauren.
LIGHT FAE COMPOUND – MEDICAL FACILITY
Lauren saw the Valkyrie walking in. She put down her charts as she walked over to her, "I get to see you again so soon. Must be my lucky day." The blonde fae had large box with her, "I came to bring you something, thought it was fitting." The doctor almost feared opening up the box. She could only imagine what the dark fae would think was a fitting gift. Lauren had to smile when she saw a bow with arrows in a quiver (the canister that holds the arrows) and a personal wrist guard. Tamsin pointed to the wrist guard, "I doubted you would need that but it came as a set." These types of gifts she knew how to get. Weapons were her thing and she knew faes. Apollons loved their archery it came natural to them. They were hunters hence the ability to hunt and heal. The human or hybrid standing before her was no longer the same girl she had drinks with many nights ago. The blonde in front of her was now from an ancient blood lineage of incredible hunting fae. The Valkyrie was laughing on the inside. Technically the doctor could take out the wolf in a few pulls of the bow. How fitting was that sentence. The doctor, the wolf, and a bow that completes the triangle.
The blonde human quickly covered the box. "Remember no one else knows about this yet. Haven't exactly had the free time to tell anyone." Lauren pointed to the work stacked behind her. "Relax Rambo it's just a gift, maybe it's for training purposes. Got to get back to work, show your ex your new talents," Tamsin gave a small grin as she kissed the doctor before leaving. The doctor opened the box one last time to look at the bow that the Valkyrie gave her. It was then she noticed the engraving on it. Doctor Doom. Lauren let out a small laugh at the dark fae's humor before returning her attention back to work.
Within a few hours Lauren called Tamsin to tell her all that she had concluded during her examination of the bodies. She knew she should have probably told her when she was there but the gift threw the doctor off. The blonde wasn't used to having someone surprise her at work and was definitely not used to presents even if they were weapons. In that moment she thought of Bo. Remembering when she went to her birthday party with Nadia and everyone gave the succubus weapons. Now she was the one getting weapons. Life really throws curve balls at us. She glanced up at the clock before picking up her phone dialing the number that became so familiar she didn't even need to hit her name to call her. "Hey," the brunette said a little too enthusiastically into the phone. "Hi, I'm sorry for calling so late but would it be okay to meet in an hour," she forgot to call her earlier with what was happening to her and the new case it just slipped her mind. "Yeah sounds perfect. Did you have dinner yet," her nerves were coming through loud and clear as the succubus was mentally yelling at herself to pull it together. Lauren's face showed the confusion and was so glad that she wasn't using Face Time. "No I was going to grab something after I finish up at the lab." Bo was mentally kicking her own ass at how she was sounding like a nervous teenager going over her crush's house for the first time. Pulling it together she sounded more like herself, "I was going to pick up Italian for us. Something in particular you want or the usual," she purposely added that in reminding the doctor that she did pay attention to even the small details. The doctor pulled the phone away from her face to make sure she definitely dialed Bo. The way things were going lately it really was like an alternate reality. "The usual is fine I will see you in an hour," she couldn't help but smile at the small gesture the brunette just made. Of course now she is attentive after she breaks my heart. Perfect!
LAUREN'S PLACE
The doctor just finished getting ready for Bo to come by. She had no idea why she was getting nervous. It was Bo. She has spent a lot of time with the succubus over the past three years yet she could feel her nerves growing. Her palms were sweaty and she kept glancing at the clock. Lauren really didn't know what she was expecting for tonight. The only thing she was hoping for was that they would get through it without screaming at each other. Somehow the two knew exactly what nerve to hit to truly upset the other and it would lead to an explosion. Then there was Tamsin they were dating and it was new and fresh. Right now the Valkyrie was treating her better than Bo ever did. The knock at the door made the blonde jump. She wasn't used to knocking anymore not since the dark fae became a part of her life. Tamsin had a habit of letting herself in.
The doctor went over to the door opening it her eyes widened as she took in the succubus in front of her. "Bo what the hell happened," she stepped to the side as the brunette walked in. "Would you believe if I said I had an argument with the waiter?" Bo tried to side step this conversation. The blonde couldn't help it the doctor in her was concerned with her ex's appearance. She followed Bo over to the counter watching as the brunette put the food down. Lauren stood in front of her touching the cut on her cheek gently watching as the succubus slowly closed her eyes at the blonde's touch. The gesture pulled at Lauren's heart. "Bo seriously what happened," she was examining her now as the succubus took a seat. "Kenzi and I took on a case yesterday looking for a missing fae. Was pretty convinced it was this dick of a fae and he made a point to show me that I was wrong. Got the message," the brunette tried to answer it as nonchalantly as possible.
Lauren was confused, "Why didn't you heal? Wasn't Dyson over last night?" The brunette was watching as the doctor was looking over the cuts on her face making her way down to her arms. She loved how sexy Lauren looked when she was doing the doctor thing. The way she examined each bruise making sure she didn't miss anything. The brunette had to mentally slap herself as she bit into her lower lip forgetting about the cut which made it start to bleed. This was really not going as planned. Lauren walked over to the sink getting a towel and putting warm water on it going back over to the brunette. Bo slowly took the towel from her as she answered, "I'm not with Dyson anymore."
The doctor almost fell over. How can that be it hasn't been that long and Bo left her to be with her long lost love and now they aren't together. Lauren couldn't stop herself as the word just poured out, "WHAT?" The blonde wasn't exactly shouting it was more of shock. Great just what I need another thing to try and wrap my brain around. That's it my head is going to explode it finally hit its maximum. The succubus was prepared for that reaction. "Funny story there, hungry," she was definitely going to side step this one. Lauren was standing across from her on the other side of her counter with both hands on it as she tilted her head at the brunette. "Didn't think you were going to let that go. Okay but first let me start with apologizing to you Lauren for everything. For not making you feel like you were first. For not being everything that I should have been and for not showing you how incredibly amazing you are. For yelling at you at your work and barging in here and acting the way I did. For taking it out on Tamsin when I was really mad that she was everything I wasn't. For not realizing what everyone else knew and I was such an idiot that I couldn't see it." Bo couldn't stop the tears that were filling in her eyes but she was doing her best at not letting them spill over.
The blonde was staring at her ex. Of course she would realize all these things now after she started dating Tamsin. She was glad to hear Bo say these things but the human also knew it would be foolish just to leave the Valkyrie and run back to Bo because she had some kind of epiphany. "You had a lot on your plate you did the best you could Bo." Lauren always made excuses for the succubus that's why they stayed together for as long as they did because the doctor just made up all the reasons in her own mind for the brunette's behavior. Bo reached over the counter putting her hand on Lauren's, "No I didn't do the best I could because if I did we'd still be together. I was wrong and I know it so please let me apologize. I made a big enough mess at least I can let you know I realize how wrong I was." The blonde was shocked did Bo leave NeverLand and grow up overnight. "Okay then apology accepted. That doesn't explain what happened with Dyson."
The brunette brought her hand back slowly as she locked her eyes onto Lauren's. "I left you for the stupidest reason Lauren. I tried to think of every excuse under the sun to reason with myself on why I did it. To try and grab at something that made sense because nothing else did. It was just a stupid mistake. I thought I owed it to Dyson. He put his life on the line so many times for me and we never had a proper good-bye. I thought I owed it to Kenzi she almost got killed getting Dyson his love back and I didn't even notice it wasn't my best friend anymore. I didn't realize till it was too late that I already gave my heart to you completely. It didn't matter whether I had a proper good-bye with Dyson. None of it mattered because my heart belonged to you." This time she couldn't control the tears as they slid down her cheeks. Hitting the cuts in her face didn't help the pain but once again the succubus didn't care she deserved to feel all the pain because it paled in comparison to the pain she put the love of her life through.
The doctor had tears of her own in her eyes she really hated that the brunette decided to go out and mature now. So long she waited for this and now that she was starting to date Tamsin the brunette decides to learn what went wrong in their relationship. "You left because you felt obligated not because you didn't love me," Lauren was repeating the words she knew she just heard but she had to be sure. The sadness never left the brunette as she kept her eyes on the blonde. "You did the same to me once Lauren. Be honest with me as I am being with you. When Nadia woke up did you love me, did you know that you were in love with me?" It was Bo's turn to point out how she wasn't all that different from the doctor.
The blonde got quiet as she thought back to that time. "Yes, I knew I was in love with you." She was being honest. She never meant to fall in love with the succubus it just happened. Bo wasn't like any other fae she met. The brunette never saw herself as superior to the humans. Never saw herself above them and she treated Lauren like she mattered. The doctor was sneaking behind the Ash's back to help Bo she never told her about Nadia because she never thought she was going to fall in love with the succubus. She remembered right before she left to go back to Lachlan she slept with Bo one last time fearing it would be the last time she got to feel the brunette's touch and just wanted to be as close as they physically could be. Bo cut through her memories, "You knew you were in love with me but you went back to Nadia anyway knowing that I felt it too. You wanted to be sure I wasn't going to sleep with you to get over Dyson but you didn't mention the girlfriend in a coma. When she woke up when I broke her curse you left, why?" The brunette had all day to put the pieces of the puzzle together and it only showed her how much the two were alike despite the doctor not knowing it.
"I owed it to her she was in a coma because of the fae for five years. I owed it to Nadia," Lauren knew exactly where Bo was going with this. When did the succubus get so smart? Bo gave a small smile through her tears, "Like how I felt that I owed it to Dyson and Kenzi for them putting their lives on the line for me. How is it different Lauren? How is you realizing you were in love with me but going back to Nadia different from me knowing I was in love with you but feeling obligated to go back to Dyson? I really want to know because I have thought about this over and over and I don't see where I am the villain besides being a shitty girlfriend I didn't do anything different then you did. You broke my heart then when you left me. Now I broke my own heart," Bo felt a little proud of herself that she was able to make this connection. Lauren was speechless she had no response for that. "It's not," was all she was able to whisper out. No matter how she tried to think of it Bo was right it was the same. Of course she didn't put Lauren first and she was a shitty girlfriend but she owned up to that. To add to it she also apologized for it. She was broken out of her thoughts as she saw the succubus grab her side. The blonde went around the counter and lifted the bottom of her ex's shirt to see the purple bruise. She gazed up at the brunette, "Bo this is bad," she put light pressure on the area as the succubus almost fell out of the chair. "Okay I know I messed up but torture is just mean doc," the brunette tried to make a joke so she could smile through the pain.
Lauren stood in front of her ex but didn't get a chance to say anything as the succubus continued, "I will try and be okay with it. With you being with Tamsin. I am not so sure I can see it just yet but she is treating you good and I want you to be happy Lauren I just wish it was with me. If she hurts you though I am kicking her ass," the brunette made sure to add that in. The blonde was feeling so many things right now confusion, sadness, happiness, and worry. "We can discuss that another night, right now Bo we have to talk about your injuries you have a broken rib. It didn't pierce your lung but this needs to be wrapped or you need to heal," the doctor was worried at seeing this dark bruise on her ex. "No, no healing, if you can wrap it fine but no healing," she was adamant about this. The doctor knew why she didn't want to heal the way a succubus could. She wanted to feel the pain the brunette thought she deserved it. Well least she knew she was still thick headed. "Fine I am getting something to wrap it," Lauren said as she went over to her at home medical supplies.
The human went through a bunch of things before coming over with supplies. "Take your shirt off," Lauren ordered. Bo couldn't help but smirk at her ex, "Yes ma'am," as she saluted her like a soldier to her commanding officer. The succubus tried to take her shirt off but almost fell over. Kenzi was the one who through a lot of cursing helped her get this damn shirt on. The doctor caught her and Bo felt it instantly. Lauren was strong. Not just strong for a human strong but really strong. It immediately caught the succubus's attention as she looked her ex up and down. The doctor wasn't noticing as she pulled the shirt off of the brunette taking in her side as well as her arms. Bo was noticing everything her aura was different. It was still bright the way Lauren's normally was but it was different the colors were deeper something changed. Bo was still looking her up and down as the blonde was wrapping the bandage around her. That's when something else caught the brunette's eye as she grabbed her ex's hand as she glared into her eyes, "How did your hand heal?"
