A/N: I always wanted to see this kind of thing happen in this episode. But alas, we were disappointed in many ways. Also, this chapter is a complete rewrite of the episode. Especially, Bo's interrogation scene. I'm working on some requests, if you have anymore, let me know in your reviews.

Enjoy!


Chapter 53: The Lengths of Love – 3x05

39th Division

Bo has to admit, today had taken quite a strange turn.

She woke up this morning, feeling fine. She'd fed last night, had some fun, all in all it was a pretty good night. Only thing that weighed on her heart heavily, was the fact that she had to sleep with someone who wasn't Lauren. Bo wanted nothing more, than to commit to her, and only her. But it just wasn't an option for a Succubus.

As much as it killed her.

She intended to do something with Lauren today, and try and make up for it in any way she could. Even though Lauren said it didn't bother her, Bo knew her well enough by now to know when she was lying. But those plans were put on hold when she was brought in for questioning with Dyson and his new bitch of a Partner.

They couldn't stand each other.

"Why're you so sure this body has anything to do with me?" She sat opposite Dyson in the interrogation room, while Tamsin stood behind her.

"Because your scent's all over it, and it looks like your kind of kill…" he showed her photos from the crime scene. "… What was the nature of your relationship with her?" With the way their victim smelled, Dyson knew Bo had to have been very close to her for a long time.

Bo looked at the pictures, it was the girl from last night. "I don't remember her name. I met her at the Dal last night, we had a few drinks, and then went back to my place" she was going to tell the truth.

Tamsin snickered behind her, "Aren't you dating the human meat bag who works for the Light?" They just dropped the body off to Lauren.

That was really the wrong choice of words, Bo jumped up from her seat and grabbed Tamsin by he collars of her shirt. Pushing her into the wall she was standing by, her blue eyes blazing. "What did you just call her?!"

"Easy there Succubus!" Tamsin wasn't scared in the slightest. "You're already on the hook for a murder. You really wanna add assaulting a Police Officer to your rap sheet?" She didn't think so.

Dyson stood from his seat. "Bo, put her down! Or I will arrest you!" He didn't have a choice.

Bo's eyes reverted back to their chocolate brown colour, "Talk about my Girlfriend that way again, and I promise you…" she let her go. "… You'll regret it" she backed up.

No one spoke about Lauren that way.

"Did you just threaten an officer of the law?" Tamsin loved pissing her off. It was a lot of fun. "You know I can arrest you for that too"

But Dyson didn't have time for this. "Tamsin? Shut up!" He ordered her. He was the senior officer. "Bo?" He remained calm, "Please, take a seat. I just wanna get to the bottom of this" he wanted to believe she didn't do it. But there was always that seed of doubt in his mind.

Wanting the same, Bo sat down again. "Look, I won't deny that I know her. She came back to my place last night, we had sex and that was it. She was very much alive, when she left"

"So, you saw her leave?" He asked.

"Yes!" Bo nodded, although she wasn't entirely sure.

Suddenly, the door to the interrogation room busted open and Kenzi waltzed in. "Bo, don't say anything else!" She caught a glimpse of the pictures on the table, the girl from last night was dead. "If this's about that chick, then you've wasted your time. I was there last night, I saw her leave with my own eyes"

"Well, isn't that convenient?" Tamsin chuckled dryly. Of course, Bo's best friend would cover for her. "You're not actually buying this are you?" She glanced at Dyson.

Since Kenzi vouched for Bo, Dyson had no choice but to let her go. "For now, I am…" he replied. "… As long as you have an alibi I can't hold you. So, you're free to go. But, Lauren's examining the body. If anything else comes up, we'll be in touch"

As soon as she knew that, Bo knew that she had to see Lauren right away. She had to try and explain things. Even though she herself was confused as to what was going on. Why did she always have the worst luck?

"Nothing'll come up, because I didn't do this" she expected more faith from Dyson. After everything they'd been through. Turning around, she caught a glare from Tamsin. She couldn't give a shit what she thought. So, she left with Kenzi. And had only one place in mind.

Her Girlfriend's.

Lauren's Apartment - Later

After Dyson and Tamsin dropped the body off in her home-which was very unhygienic; Lauren had some of the Light Fae Guards help her take it to her lab. Once there, she began a standard autopsy. But her results came back inconclusive. She could tell the girl was killed by someone feeding from her, but she knew it wasn't Bo.

She thought maybe she would've had the tiniest bit of doubt that maybe Bo did do it. Maybe she didn't get enough Chi at the house last night, so she followed her home and took what she needed.

But if she thought that, then Lauren would have to also believe that Bo was a monster. And that just wasn't true. Despite her genetic makeup, Bo was the sweetest and purest person Lauren knew. That's how she knew her Girlfriend wasn't capable of this.

So, with the autopsy done she came back to her apartment to get started on her report. As she was typing on her computer, she heard a knock at the door. "It's open!" She couldn't get up while she was working, she wanted to get this over and done with.

The door opened, and Bo walked in with a panicked expression all over her face. "So, I'm guessing you've heard about the busy day I've had?" She didn't give Lauren a chance to answer. "I didn't do it Lauren, I swear to you" she couldn't let her think she did.

Lauren held up a hand, "Bo, it's okay-"

"It's not!" Bo was in full panic mode. "None of this would be happening if I didn't choose her to feed with! I wish I could just be normal, then I wouldn't have to do this, I wouldn't have to sleep with strangers, I could just be with you" she took a breath.

That was one thing Lauren wanted too. But that wasn't something they could have. "You don't need to explain" she said.

Bo had to ask a question, and it was going to change everything depending on Lauren's answer. "Do you think I did it?"

Exhaling loudly, Lauren picked up a picture from her desk. "Unless you have two extra fingers I don't know about, then I highly doubt it…" she saw Bo become instantly confused. "… Here, maybe this'll clear things up" she waited for her to step forward, then handed her the picture.

Taking a look, Bo saw the bruises on her dead lover's neck. They were made by a person who had six fingers. Last time she checked, she had five. "I don't understand. Dyson said it looked like a Succubus kill"

Rolling her eyes, Lauren didn't expect anything less from Dyson. They might've been on better terms, but she still wasn't a fan. "That's Dyson for you; always looking for the easiest answer. The only reason he said that was because no other scent was on her but yours" she wasn't even a Wolf, and she knew better.

"So, who did it?" Bo wondered.

"I'm not sure yet, I'm still running a search…" Lauren told her, "… But since the feeding signature is so close to yours, and with the evidence of the extra appendages; an old Egyptian Fae that feeds on Chi comes to mind. Won't get a name until the search is complete though" she couldn't remember ever Fae in the world.

She was just one woman.

Bo couldn't help the tears that escaped her eyes, "So, I didn't do it? I'm clean?" She couldn't believe it.

Nodding, Lauren pulled her into a hug. "Squeaky clean. Hey, it's okay. Shhh!" She held her tight, feeling Bo latch on even more. "Were you really that afraid of being guilty?"

Wanting to be honest, Bo nodded. She brought Lauren to sit on the couch with her. "I told Dyson I saw her leave the house, but now that I'm thinking about it; I don't think I did. Kenzi vouched for me but, I don't know if she's covering for me"

"Why don't you ask her?" Lauren knew how much Kenzi loved Bo, and would probably protect her from anything.

Shrugging, Bo didn't know. "She's been acting kinda strange today, so I just left it. But if you're saying it's not my kill, then I'm in the clear. Right?"

Lauren nodded again. "Right. You know, when they brought her body to me this morning; my heart sank" she admitted.

"Because you thought I did it?" Bo thought Lauren was on her side with this.

"No…" Lauren shook her head. "… I would never think that. If I ever did think you killed someone, I know it would be out of self-defence. You're not a killer Bo. But, I know how much Dyson's new Partner hates you. She even tried to get me to talk, but I wouldn't" she remembered Tamsin grilling her this morning.

That made Bo smile. "You didn't?" Her Girlfriend told her how she stuck it to Tamsin good, and put her in her place. "That's my girl…" she touched Lauren's cheek gently. "… Well, at least I can always count on you to believe me"

Lauren frowned, she had a feeling about what Bo meant by that. "Dyson didn't?" Bo shook her head. "I guess he really doesn't care about anyone anymore, does he?" She would say she was sorry about what happened with the Norn, but then she wouldn't have her chance with Bo.

So, she won fare and square. Maybe she should send the Norn a fruit basket or something to say thank you.

Another time.

"I don't care about him…" Bo meant that. If he was so willing to side with a person he'd known for a few days over the woman he used to love and who had saved his life more than once; then that was his choice. "… You're all the support I need" she knew she could count on her.

Lauren smiled, "I told you, I love you…" she didn't mind saying it again. "… You more than qualify to receive the benefit of the doubt. Besides, you know me. I'm all about the facts. If they can't prove it; I won't believe it" it was that simple.

"Validity over speculation, right?" Bo heard Lauren tell her that while talking about one of her experiments before. Lauren probably didn't think she paid attention, but she did. She always listened.

Lauren was impressed, "Exactly. And you know, even if you did do it and it was an accident? I want you to know that I wouldn't abandon you…" she needed her to know this. "… An important part of being a couple, is that we're a team. A threat to you, is a threat to me. I'd do anything, to protect you"

"You have no idea, how much that means to me…" Bo went in for a kiss. To know that Lauren was willing to overlook the evidence and just believe her regardless, meant the world to Bo. "… I love you too"

Wanting to make her feel even better, Lauren got up and brought Bo with her, holding her hand. She typed a few more things on her autopsy report, then made a move to send the file to Dyson email. "Send it…" she placed her hand over the mouse. "… Feel the relief of clearing your name"

Bo chuckled, oddly it sounded very appealing. So, she clicked the left side of the mouse, and watched the email vanish and then the notification that it'd been sent. "Wow, that did feel good!" She didn't expect it to that much.

"I'd ask you stay, but I'm guessing you've gotta finish that case with Kenzi?" Lauren wanted her to stay more than anything but knew how important Bo's job was to her.

She wasn't wrong. Bo did have a case that needed solving. But right now, she didn't care about that. "I'm pretty sure she can handle it without me. Besides, Dyson's there if she needs back up. There's nowhere else I'd rather be right now" she kissed her again.

"So, are we gonna have a quiet night in for a change?" Lauren wondered.

Bo wrapped both arms around her Girlfriend's waist. "Whatever you want babe" for a moment, she just wanted to stay still in this second.

Because right now, it was perfect.


A/N: Aww, that's nice. I had to get that line in, the one Dyson said at the end of the episode; "Lauren would do anything to protect Bo". I wanted to have it come from Lauren. So, there it is. Like I said, any requests; let me know.
