Kenzi lifted her head and breathed in the coffee aroma. "Heaven. I smell Heaven. Give it to me!"
Bo raised her hand. "Me too. Me too."
Dyson sighed at their slurred speech. "I thought you were going to spruce them up, Hale?"
Offended, Hale replied, "These two just came back from the equivalent of a week stay at a Confundus Rainbow Gathering. I have kick ass skills, but I'm not a miracle worker."
"Shit." Dyson started to anxiously scratch his beard. "Do you think they'll be better in time for dinner? We have to catch the Valkyrie girl before she enters the dining hall. "
Hale looked at the girls. Bo was at least sitting up vertically, but with closed eyes. Her coffee cup was hooked on a finger, hanging empty. Kenzi, thankfully, was more alert. Of course, the notion that she thought it was time to continue working on Bo's lipstick tattoo didn't bode well. Hale wasn't feeling optimistic. "We'll just have to wait and see."
It took a couple of hours, two siren songs, advil, and a pot of coffee to accomplish the task, but it got done: plan D was under way.
It was Hale's idea for Kenzi and Bo to take the girl to meet him and Dyson in the Room of Requirement. Dyson and Hale heard their arrival before seeing them.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, shit, shit, shit, shit, shi—"
"Focus, Kenzi!" Bo scolded.
"Right. Sorry." Kenzi sheepishly walked the girl to a chair next to Dyson. She then dropped a few drops of the serum in her mouth but didn't break the charm.
"You are very calm, Galadriel. You don't have to worry about anything." Kenzi stated in a motherly voice.
"Ok. That's not my name though."
Kenzi couldn't help but smile. "It is your name right now."
"Ok."
Bo, stepped up beside Kenzi and whispered, "You know, it's rude to make fun of someone who is kidnapped and charmed."
"Yeah well, this blond Valkyrie Elf-wannabe didn't break two of your nails or scuff your shoes, did she?"
"Are you serious? It was your idea to fight her. Now, let's get back to business." Bo quipped before returning her attention to the Valkyrie. She walked up and squatted in front of her chair. "Hi there. My friends and I need to ask you a few questions."
"Ok." The girl responded, looking innocently vacant.
It was unsettling for Bo to see her this way. She told herself it was necessary, took a deep breath and asked "Why are you and Tamsin at Hogwarts?"
"Because of Odin." She responded nonchalantly.
