Kenzi and Kendra just sat outside on the bench across Tamsin's private hospital room. All the guards were back in position. Things were back to 'normal' at least for now. Bo saved Tamsin, and then Tamsin saved Bo. At least the family was whole again.
Kenzi and Kendra had no idea what to talk about or even where to start. Kenzi was wracking her brains for once because Kendra as of now neither belonged to a human world or the Fae one. Asking her questions that pertain to either world seemed to be awkward.
Kendra was also in the same boat but chose to ask something totally unrelated to Fae. "So Bo and Tamsin will pull through this ok right?" Kendra asked not even looking at Kenzi to disperse the tension. She chose instead to check her AR magazine capacity again and re-seat the magazine snugly. Another though crossed her mind. She was probably sitting next to another Fae and had no idea what she was. Kendra hoped at least it was not another shape shifter.
"Yeppers. Bo was also able to .. ummm .. revive Tamsin, but she gets weak and needs rest after she used all that energy." Kenzi said looking at the ceiling without any hand animations as she kept her hands in her pocket.
"But Tamsin also revived Bo but is a fallen Valkyrie with no powers." Kendra followed up, smacking herself a second later internally by possibly crossing a line she did not belong. She made it to Captain for a reason after all.
"Yea, but Tamsin's … uuuuggg," Kenzi said as she stifled her reaction of sudden nausea coming on "'Love' for Bo was all the power she needed to save her." Kenzi ended still kind of queasy. There was way too much love in that room a couple minutes ago.
"So love does conquer all huh?" Kendra concluded as she slung the AR on herself again. "I hope my team did not give you too much of a scare when we first met?" Kendra asked moving onto a lighter and 'safer' topic.
"Naaa nothing that the Kenz can't han ... It was so bad I *ALMOST* peed on my $500 4" stiletto Jimmy Cho's! That's how bad it was! So *NOT* cool. Don't go messing with the shoes!" Kenzi said kicking her legs out motioning to her shoes. After a moment of both women looking at the overly tall shoes, Kenzi put it back down and nudged her shoulder against Kendra's. Kendra just looked at her and put on an evil smile.
"Captain? Jeff here" Kendra's radio emitted as it came to life.
"Shaw, Go ahead." Kendra said as she got up and put her hand on her AR handle.
"We are holding a Dyson Wolfbane from the 39th in the lobby area. He was very insistent that he see you, someone named Tamsin, and the very beautiful *SPECIAL* Agent Bo Dennis. I currently have 3 officers pointing at him with our MP5s and it's going to be 4 in a moment. Your orders ma'am?" Kendra's radio announced.
Kendra glanced at Kenzi. "How freaking long does Bo's spell last?... never mind. At least Jeff is doing his job." Kendra let out exasperated. She was just about to give orders when Kenzi jumped up and said "WAIT!"
Kenzi was at least smart enough not to make any more harsh moments beyond jumping up or else her Jimmy Chos might be in danger of being blemished again. "Ummm Kendra… ummm Captain ... er Shaw … can I talk to you for a second, I need a favor." Kenzi said with a desperate look on her face.
Kendra just stared at the little Goth girl and calmly hit her transmit button on her radio. "Jeff, hold position for a second." A voice came back quickly "Copy Captain." "You have 30 seconds to spill. Dyson and I believe it or not have a long standing PROFESSIONAL relationship. He is my liaison when your Fae shit happens on my turf. I still am kind of miffed that he has been holding out on me all these years, but he probably had his orders like Tamsin. At least Tamsin tried her best to help us out." Kendra said a little put off.
"Yea, I know this stuff is a shock to you, but I am not talking about that. Can you stall a little while I get Bo and Tamsin in a more er… presentable state?" Kenzi asked with her best puppy dog eyes she could muster up. Kendra just raised one of her eyebrows and did not respond in an obvious attempt for Kenzi to elaborate. "FINE! Bo and Dyson were an item before, and D-man.. er DYSON has no idea that Bo is now with Tamsin and still follows Bo around like a puppy dog in the hopes to be an item later. Yes shocking. Tamsin and Bo are probably in there doing some succu-lo…. Shit PRIMAL stuff in there or some other lovely dovey crap that may permanently scar and maybe blind Dyson… hell it sure has hell scarred me… for life." Kenzi confessed looking away toward the ground at the last part.
"Well, I probably need to 'chat' with him anyway. SHIT.. I look like crap. I don't have your friend's charm there but … I MIGHT be able to give you 5 minutes … " Kendra conceded, "maybe a little more." Kendra said looking up deep in thought. "Jeff, I'll be there in a minute to escort Detective Dyson. Please stand down, I am expecting him."
"Copy that" chirped Kendra's radio.
Kenzi mouthed with her hands together in a praying type fashion 'thank you, thank you' but before she was about to go fetch Bo, she then saw Kendra start to take off her vest and what looked like a Kevlar coating underneath. Kendra muttered indirectly at Kenzi "Shit, I can't believe I am actually doing this NOW. YOU owe me big time. I fucking look like I got hit by a train… A COUPLE of them." Kenzi had no idea what she was talking about until she started to take off her somewhat lose fitting button down uniform shirt. Underneath that, Kendra had on an extremely tight black low cut sports tank with thin straps. Kenzi had to admit that Kendra's body armor and even uniform shirt was hiding Kendra's true assets. Kendra was ripped and toned which was not apparent earlier. Also with a tight low cut top, other asset were now a lot more pronounced.
Now that Kendra new the truth about the Fae to some degree, she now needed to make sure she had a way to get more info from as many contacts from the Fae world as possible. Also she hoped that now that the cat was out of the bag, she might be able to get a little more personal with Dyson. How personal? At least to be able to talk to one another honestly as friends. Dyson and she seemed to have a good foundation for a friendship but something always stopped Dyson. If it took her other physical attributes to help that along, so be it. 'Men have one track minds at times, Human of Fae' she brooded. She turned to Kenzi and said "How do I look? Do I need more.. ummm more of this" Kendra motioned to her chest, " showing for Dyson or D-man is it?"
Once Kenzi figured out the game, she was quite impressed how well Kendra improvised. "Ummmm a little more" as she tugged Kendra tank a little lower "and… " Kenzi looked her up and down" you need a little more of the Megan Fox look." Kenzi said as she untucked the bottom of Kendra's tank to reveal a couple inches of her very toned stomach. "*These* are way too high" Kenzi said as she tugged a little at Kendra's tactical combat pants but they were on too tight.
"These pants were not meant to do that as they are more functional, but…." Kendra said loosening her belt loop by 2 notches, "how about now" as it lowered more than the desired amount showing the top of her black underwear. "Crap, hold on." Kendra mumbled fully aware that everyone in the hall was now watching this whole fiasco. Kendra lowered her underwear just below the top of her pants as Kenzi did final adjustments. Kendra now had a significant amount of cleavage and ripped stomach showing.
"You now have every gamer's wet dream." Kenzi announced. "I give you the Laura Croft fresh out of kicking some serious ass look. Now *THAT* is hot. Go get him!" Kenzi shouted raising both of her hands to whisk Kendra away.
Kendra picked up and put on her badge which hung low just above the twins on her now bare skin. She then slung her AR over her shoulder as she walked toward the lobby. "Kenzi, if I get attacked in any way, I hope you don't mind if I use Dyson as a shield. Oh Precinct 70! Listen to me CAREFULLY. THIS NEVER HAPPENED and keep your phones in their holsters. GOT IT!" Kendra said as she noticed all the officers around her where gawking at her as she passed.
"Yes ma'am!" came the response from all 4 officers in unison.
Kendra then proceeded to cat walk down the hall somewhat professionally as she crossed her legs in front of one another further impressing Kenzi as she disappeared into Tamsin's room.
Kenzi walked in quietly and whispered before she entered the room all the way. "Bo Bo! T-sam! Are you guys decent? HEY! I'm coming in …. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be decent." Kenzi put a hand over her eyes as she rounded the corner, and peeked throught her fingers a little. It was not as bad as she thought. Bo was in Tamsin's embrace. They were both sleeping soundly, fully clothed. That did not mean however that Kenzi was done. She needed to at least get Bo into a chair next to Tamsin's bed in a conscious state.
Kenzi walked over to Bo and nudged her and Bo just let out a low mumble. "Hey Bo bear. D-man's on his way back, you gotta get up now!" Kenzi said raising her voice slightly hoping not to tick off Tamsin. Tamsin however remained fast asleep.
"BO BO!" Kenzi persisted as she shook Bo harder and did not let up. Finally Bo woke up, really groggily and she just vaguely looked at Kenzi grunted and went back to sleep. It was as she feared, Bo still was still extremely low on energy and needed to at the very least rest but more importantly, recharge.
Kenzi finally gave up being polite to Tamsin and yelled on Bo's ear "HEY WAKE UP!". She then slapped Bo's face lightly several times.
"Huh… Kenz? Sooo tired. Come back later…. " Bo slurred out but went back to sleep again.
"Crap. Bo, I know we are sisters and all but I gotta do this…." Kenzi said taking a couple deep breaths and licking her lips "1…. 2… 3…" Kenzi immediately planted her lips onto Bo's and closed her eyes tightly. Bo was slow to respond but Kenzi parted Bo's lips to allow her tongue access. Kenzi was screaming at herself as she knew how wrong this was and how against Bo was to this. The only time Bo ever fed from her was in her alter ego state and that was from everyone in the room at the same time. Aside from that, Bo made a conscious point to never pull Chi from Kenzi. After a couple of moments with Bo not responding well enough, Kenzi brought her hands to Bo's face and began to stroke it. 'Please, let this be it!' Kenzi pleaded to herself trying hard to block out all her thoughts screaming at her to break the kiss. Finally that did the trick as Bo began to pull Kenzi's Chi. Bo was beyond hungry, she was famished as the initial pull was strong. Kenzi was Fae now, but had no idea her capacity to handle the appetite of a hungry succubus. She just hoped that Bo would stop like she did for everyone else.
Bo was too tired after reviving Tamsin and even after taking some of Tamsin's energy, she was still overly tired as she only took just enough to stay alive. She needed to feed, but rest would have to come first. She felt and heard someone try to wake her up but nothing registered in her mind on who or what is was. All she knew was that there was no imminent danger near, so she went back to sleep. She then vaguely felt a kiss and it was a deep one. Someone was caressing her face, like someone she loved but did not really know who. She instinctively pulled Chi from them knowing that she needed to quench her hunger. As Bo began to come to a couple moments later, she pulled less Chi so as not to drain whoever was kissing her to death. She finally opened her eyes expecting Tamsin which in that case she needed to cut off soon, but to her surprise, it was Kenzi. Bo immediately stopped the flow of Chi and pushed Kenzi away from her. Bo was now awake but confused as heck. "Kenz? Wha… What just happened? Why am I pulling Chi from you?" Bo asked in her groggy state.
Kenzi was really happy when Bo stopped pulling her Chi. It could have been much worse as Bo was known at times to make love to her targets of affection during a Chi exchange and that would definitely be something that would mar Kenzi and maybe Bo for life.
"Bo!" Kenzi stated rubbing her sleeve on her lips as she recovered "You weren't waking up so I had to goad you into loading up on some of my Chi. I'll explain more later. D-man is here and will be back here in a couple minutes. We gotta get you off this bed and at least onto this chair now. You can still rest your head on the bed if you need to…. COME ON!" Kenzi said as she tugged Bo's arms to get her up out of Tamsin's hug.
Bo finally got up and kissed Tamsin on the cheek. Tamsin was still out probably due to the sedatives Bo realized. She weakly stood up and started to straighten out her now wrinkled power suit. Kenzi on the other hand walked to the other side of Tamsin's bed and fixed up the Valkyrie. They did their best with the time they had. Bo stumbled a little as she moved. With that Kenzi came back to her to guide her into the chair.
Kenzi was aware that Bo had yet to charge up to a point where she was able to hold her own at a minimum. "Bo-ba-licious, take a little more of my chi. I can't have you stumbling around like you just got out of the Dal." Kenzi said as she held Bo on her shoulders. She knew Bo did not need to be in contact to pull Chi, but just in close proximity.
"No Kenzi," Bo tied to push her away. "I can't do that. You've done enough already, I can manage." She still was a little dizzy, but at least she was now somewhat lucid.
"Bo-Bo, There are only 2 Fae here, Me and very soon to be Dyson. I don't think you want Dyson salivating with concern over you right now in your less than optimal state." Kenzi said seriously. "Come on! I asked Kendra to stall him and she can only stall for so long. We are already beyond the 5 minute marker!" She said looking at her watch. It was actually 8 minutes so far and was surprised that Kendra could stall a very concerned D-man for that long. 'Whoa, she probably has some talent.' she thought.
"Kenz, are you sure?" Bo said concerned about her best friend and sister. She told herself she would not do that to her best friend.
A distant voice could be heard outside the hallway "Stand at ATTENTION division 70!" Kendra announced.
"JUST DO IT NOW!" Kenzi pleaded with urgency. A heart beat later she felt Bo pull a little more Chi from her at a distance.
Bo and Kenzi broke their hold with one another and composed themselves as they walked out into the hallway.
Kendra took her time walking toward the lobby to get Dyson. She felt like shit and was totally exhausted from an adrenalin crash but she needed to switch from all out MMA/SWAT combat mode to bad ass seductress mode with guns. She cat walked because she needed to transition quickly fully aware she was probably distracting everyone along the way.
She got to the double doors to the lobby and hit the open button. Both door swung open slowly. As they did she changed her stance from standing dead on to face the officers and Dyson to cocking her left knee in a little bit over her right leg which gave them a semi profile look. She just hoped it would work as she put on a slight smile and relaxed to make it look natural.
It worked. Dyson was the first to see her as all the officers were facing his direction. Dyson looked at Kendra and his neutral expression went from a polite type smile to a smile of admiration as he scanned Kendra's toned and near nude form. A form Dyson probably never saw before as Kendra kept things professional and always wore her standard uniform. The 4 other officers including Jeff looked over at Kendra a couple moments later and gawked at her mentally taking in all of her feminine form. Near naked chick with big guns fresh from a fight was hot after all Kendra thought as she complimented herself for pulling it off and all without Fae type powers.
Dyson was anxiously waiting for Kendra to escort him to see Tamsin primarily but also support Bo and Kenzi. Finally after what seemed like a long time, the door opened. He first locked onto Kendra's face and smiled and slightly nodded to her as a reflex, but his eyes hungrily took in her form. A form he never saw before. Although she had several cuts on her face, her tight tank revealed a very ripped and toned body with plenty of skin exposed. He glanced at her badge but could not help but to take in her more than ample cleavage as the tips of her nipples could be made out from underneath the tank she wore. She had a Glock mounted on her right leg with a spare magazine in her belt. In addition she had what looked like a custom AR-15 with 2 magazines taped to one another. A small dagger handle was exposed over the top of her combat boots.
Before he even spoke a single word, Kendra motioned Dyson to come to her "Hey Dyson. Let's get you to Tamsin, Bo and Kenzi" Kendra said very formally.
"Your security here is rather tight." Dyson said noting the heavy armed guards in the lobby as they started to walk side by side.
"Well you can't be too careful *ESPECIALLY* after all the weird things I have seen. Oh, thanks for coming. Dyson, sorry about my appearance" as Kendra stopped motioning to her tank "but my vest was ruined by a shape shifter, who of course is now dead and has one less hand. In addition, both my shirt and vest had blood all over it. So please accept my apologies" Kendra said in her best mock confession. The motion she made did have an effect as Dyson was forced to scan her form up close again.
"Not a problem Kendra" Dyson smiled. He had to admit, she was quite a head turner…. for a human or even Fae. She did smell of shape shifter blood and sweat mixed in with her regular human scent which was to be expected but that scent combination was so primal that his thoughts went astray but he quickly brought them back on track. "I am glad you are alright."
"Yea, well other than a couple scratches and bruises to my ego, I and the rest of my team are ok. Tamsin is resting and is in stable condition after Bo's visit. I think she got her just in time." Kendra said as they continued to walk slowly.
"Good to know." Dyson said not sure how much she knew about Bo and her powers.
Kendra stopped again and faced him and said "You know Dyson, I thought we had a good working relationship…"
"You mean we don't?" Dyson questioned trying to see what Kendra was getting at.
"My team and I could have all gotten killed today if it weren't for Tamsin who single handedly took out 50 plus of them herself. You knew very well that my team was always called when Fae type items came up in our territory over the years we have known each other. You did nothing to warn me, or any of us. Tamsin who we knew for a couple of weeks did her best to at least prepare us for what was out there. She at least deep down gave a rat's ass about us humans who go up against your kind constantly and lose. But *YOU*… " Kendra said moving into his personal space searching Dyson's eyes "make it seem like we are nothing to you. We are just pests that are just an annoyance at best. And it hurts to know that I, the person you rely on the most to clean up your Fae mess in these human districts is just that expendable." Kendra said in disappointment.
"It's not like that Kendra." Dyson said calmly. "We have rules to allow us to coexist with your kind. You don't belong in our world and the humans that do are nothing more than property. I am trying to protect you."
Kendra jerked back clearly upset "You sure have a funny way of showing it. I had to single handedly take down *YOUR KIND*, over 20 to be exact in close quarters just earlier today. They apparently did not get the memo about *THEY* don't fucking belong in my world. *THEY* also did not obey *your laws*. Now you ask me to respect your laws and not enter into your world when they tore mine apart! That is just hypocritical. I abhor double standards and this is one of them. That is why I am here and *AM* the best. I've worked very hard… twice as hard as any guy despite all the odds stacked up against me. So let's get this straight, it's ok for your kind to keep slaughtering humans but not ok for me to even try to keep the peace and do what is fucking right! After 5 years of working hard to earn your trust I still amounted to nothing more than being a stinking human? I am *MUCH MORE* than that!" Kendra yelled but broke off abruptly knowing that this conversation was going in the wrong direction. If Kenzi did want some more time, she was going to get it.
"Kendra," Dyson said putting up his hands in defense "I am truly sorry. I would tell you everything but I can't give you what you want without prior approval from the As… my superiors." Dyson was quite surprised at this turn of events as he never considered how she felt. He had compartmentalized Kendra from his life like he did with everyone else that was human which included Lauren to some degree. Kenzi was the first human he let in simply due to the closeness she shared with Bo in addition to her persistence to be one of them. At least Kenzi was now Fae too. Kendra was now trying to find that place in the Fae world. Dyson was just doing a job and she was doing hers quite well. Now come to think of it, she and her team were already performing beyond any team he had encountered. He did attribute their performance primarily due to Kendra. What happened next bewildered him.
Kendra recomposed herself and took a deep breath. "Dyson, No, I am sorry that I lost it there." She said with a smile as she tucked her fingers into her belt pulling down the top of her pants a little lower to show even more skin. "Men don't normally get along with me on a personal level since I am so strong, stronger than they will ever be." She confessed as she walked into his personal space again seductively and then whispered "I am even stronger than other shape shifters. And after today, I know exactly how to take them down in hand to hand combat. Even you. Are YOU scared of me too?"
"Should I be?" Dyson asked impressed that this Kendra had the gall to threaten him without knowing his full history.
"Maybe. If I am powerful enough to take down any human and hold my own against Fae that puts me in YOUR world. I'll tell you what," Kendra said as she tip toed slightly and rubbed herself against Dyson inches away from his ear "*You* need me here. You need an ally not an enemy. I obeyed Tamsin's request to defer this item to you even after the evidence to your kind was clear. Also one more thing, "As she even pushed Dyson into a wall and put her lips less than an inch from his ear "If you play your cards right, *THIS* human will rock your world compared to ANY Fae. And even more than that Special Agent of yours, Bo Dennis, the succubus you still dote after. I bet while you were with me just now Bo did not even enter your mind." Kendra said smoothly as she finally backed up.
"Aren't you being a bit overzealous? You just found out and you are willing make such bold statements?" Dyson asked curious with a grin to see if she knew more than what he thought.
"No. But if you want to find out, give me a ride to my place after this to prove it." Kendra said in a formal manner backing up a little more finally out of Dyson's personal space.
"I don't think that is a good idea Kendra" Dyson quickly rebutted thinking about Kendra underneath him totally naked having rough wild sex. It was hard not to go there given all the moves Kendra was doing. It was not so much that he minded making love to her, it was the fact she was human. He never found a way to let a human inside that would be that close to his heart but only be with him an extremely small segment of his life.
Kendra grinned evilly as she knew she got him. "DYSON. I was NOT referring about a romantic encounter of any kind. I have been doing research over the years and I wanted to show you the information I have amassed about your kind to prove my point that I belong."
"Of course, I meant" Dyson said thinking on his feet "that even if I were to see your research, I can't help you unless I get the ok the Hale."
"Oh how silly of me, of course" Kendra smiled and winked at Dyson. "Give me a lift to my place later?"
Dyson did have an obligation to keep on top of what the humans knew about Fae kind and to destroy such items if they were a credible threat. To that Dyson just nodded solemnly.
"Come on, let's get you to Tamsin" Kendra lighted up with a big smile and hooked her left arm Dyson's guiding him like they were an item. Kendra still had her right hand resting on her AR handle as a girl could never be too careful.
They walked past a couple more hallways and finally made it to Tamsin's hall. There were the 4 officers standing guard and they all looked at Kendra with Dyson and grinned for various reasons as she approached from farther away.
She knew this might happen but yelled "Stand at ATTENTION division 70!" It had the correct effect where all the officers stopped staring at them and put on more serious looks.
Dyson smiled knowing that Kendra was spunky just like Kenzi was at times. They were about 5 doors away when Tamsin's door opened. Bo came out followed by Kenzi.
Bo was first to lock onto Kendra and Dyson walking toward them. She was speechless at the sight that greeted her. Kendra was dressed or under dressed in such a way that even made Bo jealous briefly at her skills at least little as she held on to Dyson's arm. Bo then shifted her gaze at Dyson who was very embarrassed at the situation after their eyes made contact. What made Bo smile however was not so much the awkwardness of the moment, but the fact that both of their auras were spiking a little. That meant that while Dyson still yearned for Bo as wolves mated for life, at least he still had some part of his wolf that allowed him to explore other options which at the very least allowed for some much needed distraction.
Kenzi's jaw just dropped as she was a couple steps behind Bo in sheer admiration of Kendra's mad skills. She apparently snagged herself Dyson, at least for now. Albeit a very embarrassed one at the moment. Kenzi wondered what Kendra said or did to Dyson in those few minutes that converted him over to team human no matter how brief.
Kendra finally let Dyson's arm go as Bo and Kenzi came up to them. "Special Agent Bo Dennis, I am sure you already know Detective Dyson Wolfbane. Hope you don't mind. I had to escort him back here so he did not get lost in addition to briefing him on the current situation." Kendra announced.
"Not at all." Bo said smoothly. "Thank you Kendra" Bo said with a grin reading between Kendra's lines.
Bo then turned her attention to Dyson. "Thanks for coming so quickly" Bo said as she hugged him to indirectly tell him that it is ok to find happiness elsewhere. "Tamsin is still out due to the sedatives she was given earlier, but she's doing fine. Wanna see her?" Bo asked walking over to the door and opening it.
"Of course, she is still my partner." Dyson replied with a slight smile as they walked into room.
That left Kendra and Kenzi now standing next to one another looking at the now closed door. Both of them had grins on their faces for different reasons. Kendra was happy that she broke through that impregnable wall Dyson put up now that the Fae items were out in the open. Kenzi was still getting over the fact how fast this human was able to bring any shape shifter to its knees whether it was on the battlefield or otherwise.
Kenzi knew she was going to burst out with very animated movements and quick talk that might scare Kendra and she still liked her shoes unblemished so in a very controlled fashion brought her fist up toward Kendra and Kendra who was beginning to warm up a little to Kenzi fisted bumped her back.
"9 minutes with proximity warning. Good enough Kenzi?" Kendra asked as they were still staring at the door.
"Shit, you the man… ummm woman. You worked that look for all it was worth didn't you?" Kenzi asked in all seriousness.
Kendra then leaned over a little so that the officers could not overhear them "Well let's put it this way. I frisked Dyson without using my hands and found that either a big flashlight appeared out of nowhere in his pants or he was *VERY* happy to see me." Kendra said in a whisper as a big grin washed over her face.
Kenzi turned to Kendra finally and in her classic animated manner said "TMI Kenny G. TMI. But as Tamsin would say … Mission accomplished." Kenzi snapped one of her fingers high in the air.
"IIIIII think I also may have solved the part about teen wolf's raging hormones as it pertains to Bo." Kendra concluded as she strutted to the bench and sat down.
Kenzi without another word sat next to Kendra and pulled out her cell and moved her fingers quickly as she texted Hale.
"Bo," Dyson said standing over Tamsin who was peacefully sleeping. "Thanks for saving Tamsin. I hear you arrived in the nick to time."
"Yea, she's strong. Fae or not, she hung on." Bo said beside Dyson also looking down at Tamsin.
"How were you able to heal her?" Dyson said out of curiosity. "I thought your Chi could not be absorbed by Tamsin."
"Apparently, my alter ego can." Bo said still not looking at Dyson but Tamsin.
"Just like the time you revived me after your dawning. You never cease to amaze me Bo." Dyson murmured as he smiled at her.
"Well what amaze me is that Tamsin still took down several Fae today without her Fae powers." Bo said as she glanced at Dyson.
"Tamsin was able to save the whole team and still take down 50 plus Fae in the process." Dyson clarified.
"Wow, that many?" Bo smiled as she reached out and stroked Tamsin's face gently. 'She's fought well and she fought for me' Bo though immensely flattered.
"Yep, Kendra, Captain Shaw filled me in on the details which I should get more on in the coming days from her and Hale's team." Dyson said as he looked at Bo's show of affection toward Tamsin. It seemed that they have been getting closer and closer ever since Taft's compound. Tamsin was lucky to have Bo in her corner, he deduced to himself.
"Speaking of Kendra." Bo said turning to Dyson "You two seem to be getting along well." Bo put her hand on Dyson shoulder to show her support.
"It's not like that Bo. I worked with her off and on over the past 5 years or so and only get involved if a Fae matter occurs in human only districts like hers." Dyson said calmly with little emotion as he continued "Although we work well together, our relationship is purely professional."
"So you have known her longer than we have known each other?" Bo asked as she was surprised that she never heard of her before.
"As I said, I only work with her and her team when it is a Fae matter than needs to be transferred to us. As I said, purely professional." Dyson clarified hoping that Bo would not get jealous and drop the topic.
"Dyson, I don't expect you to respond to what I am about to say." Bo said as she paused and looked at him with a serious but piercing gaze. "I can read auras and it can be more if you wish it. I know you gave me your wolf and I am immensely grateful and indebted to you. However, I still want you to be happy while I am trying to sort out my messed up life." Bo concluded still holding Dyson's shoulder.
Dyson digested what Bo just said for a couple brief moments before nodding slowly. He still loved Bo and it hurt to know that Bo could not give that love back. He left the relationship abruptly when the Norn took his love for her. It was Kenzi that helped him get it back, but by that time she was with Lauren. Tragic as it was, at least he was able to now feel the full depth of emotions for everything else but it also including the loss of Bo. It was both that love for Bo and the loss that made him volunteer as Bo's hand in her dawning knowing full well that there was a good possibility he was not coming back. In a way, he loved her so much he was willing to put everything on the line for her but at the same token it really cut deep that she could not return his now renewed love for her. It did not matter however as he just needed a place in her life, Lauren was a human and would have a human life span even if they did come back together. Dyson and Bo however were Fae, so their life spans were much longer. He held onto hope that one day, he could be with Bo again and that fate would bring them back together again. In the meantime, his ultimate goal was to support her and keep her happy in any which way he could even if that meant allowing the doctor to stay in Bo's life.
Dyson and Bo, soon followed by Kenzi and Kendra sat next to Tamsin as she slept making small talk. The small talk was stressed as Kendra was not really one of them. Kendra felt it better that she had better leave to allow them to converse more freely. As Kendra got up, Dyson walked out with her outside.
"Kendra, you don't have to leave if you don't want." Dyson voiced with concern as he caught up with Kendra half way down the hall.
"I know Dyson, but I am not part of your world and despite our 'engaging' talk earlier, it would be wrong of me to force my way in at the expense of your friendship and family. They seem to be great people and family is paramount in my culture because when the shit hits the fan, they are the ones always there for you. I also don't like being a third wheel and being left in the dark. I guess it is better this way. Besides, I need to do a sitrep on the area." Kendra fluidly stated in a well-rehearsed manner.
"Kendra? Can you give me a sec while I make a call?" Dyson asked as he put his index finger up.
"Sure…." Kendra said not knowing what Dyson was up to.
Dyson walked away and chatted for a couple of minutes on his cell and hung up. He walked back to her and stated formally "I just got off the phone with Hale and he has agreed to let you be part of our world on two conditions."
"And what might they be?" Kendra asked with a small smile.
"Well, first in return for you learning about all things Fae, you will, while working in your capacity defer Fae items to us and protect our existence by any means possible. So you can train your team any way you desire but you can't let them know or let them divulge anything Fae. Since you're their CO, that should not be that hard to do." Dyson stated formally.
"And the other?" Kendra asked with wariness.
"In order to be in our world as a human, the normal way is through another Fae. It is kind of like a sponsor. I *CAN* be that if you want." Dyson said not really knowing how to put the fact that Kendra would be 'his property'.
"OK so what is the catch?" Kendra asked knowing that Dyson was probably sugar coating the truth.
"I can be your sponsor but that also means that you will be my …. property." Dyson said a little anxiously "Look, I know how independent you are, kind of like Tamsin, and I personally would never want or wish to treat you like property. I want you to be my equal. You just have to understand that other Fae will not hold you in the same esteem." Dyson concluded a little on edge not knowing how Kendra would react.
Kendra thought about this for a moment. She wanted this for a long time and it could open up new doors for her. She also needed this to get better at what she did. Dyson now offered this to her but she was no one's property, not now, not ever. She never got romantically involved for that very reason. Would she let herself be attached to the wolf and possibly let him into her personal life in exchange to quench her thirst for knowledge?
"I'll do it" Kendra said as look of surprise came on her face. Kendra was taken back at her own response as she had not thought it fully through yet. She then amended her statement in a more serious manner "But so you know, I am NO ONES property. Don't you *EVER* say that again to me. I can handle myself against other Fae and you if need be. I may follow you, but I am strong willed and stubborn. You may just regret doing this down the line. Are you *SURE* you want to do this for me?" Kendra said in warning.
"You obviously have not worked long enough with Tamsin and Bo. If I can handle them, I am sure we can find some sort of common ground to at least respect each other." Dyson murmured with a smile.
"OK Dyson. I look forward to the long treacherous road ahead." Kendra finally brought her hand up to shake Dyson's.
"Kendra, when you are part of the Fae, it is always a long and treacherous road." Dyson extended his hand and shook Kendra's firmly.
After a couple moments passed, Kendra moved and hugged Dyson firmly and Dyson hesitantly brought his arms around to hug Kendra gingerly fully aware that her scent was almost as toxic as Bo's. Kendra's curves pushing firmly against his chest was making it hard from him to concentrate.
Kendra was overjoyed that she was no longer alone in a human world, looked on as some nut who believed in superstition and fairy tales. So much so that she had to hug someone and that someone happened to by Dyson. She knew that Dyson was not use to her hot/cold personas as she could tell how surprised he was. What was more of a surprise however was that Kendra felt Dyson get aroused. Before Dyson could get embarrassed anymore, she let go. She did not know what to do about that. Sure she was flattered especially in her unkempt state, but that meant things may get cloudy down the line if they go further. Kendra was sometimes called a tease by men that tried to get close to her and failed, but she simply got what she needed and moved on. Now she was about to do the same on Dyson earlier, but now she was committed to him in some way as he was her sponsor. Her actions would now reflect on him and probably vice versa.
Just then Tamsin's door opened and Kenzi looked at both Dyson and Kendra shifting her glance between the two with a 'wow you guys move fast' look. "Hey T-sam just came to. Come on in… er.. when you guys are decent" Kenzi yelled in a sarcastic tone dismissing then with a wave of her hand. The officers flanking that door and at the ends of the hall all snickered at that comment until Kendra gave them a harsh glare.
Dyson and Kendra rejoined everyone in the room and announced that Kendra was now part of the Fae family. Bo was happy for her as she got up and hugged Kendra and during the hug she secretly winked at Dyson. Tamsin, trying her best to look somewhat decent, took off many of her bandages for which several of her wounds had completely healed already all thanks to Bo. She still managed to have some fun, albeit not too much, it was not her style. She was still observing and taking in the banter that her now family brought to the table. She felt a calm that she had some sort of family now.
Hale eventually came into the room after Kendra cleared him via radio and was immediately brought into a deep kiss by none other than Kenzi. That passionate kiss lasted well into the minute and was extremely atypical of Kenzi. Kenzi, after seeing how fleeting life was after witnessing the end of the world just hours ago with Bo and Tamsin, decided to take the plunge and be with her man.
Everything was complete when Hump Day came in an hour later post crime scene clean up with bottles of beer stating he had to sneak it past the nurses. He quickly gave Kendra a report with Dyson next to her.
"Terminator, from the team to you. We owe you big time." Hump Day said as he sat the beer down on the table next to her bed.
"Wow," Tamsin said as she picked up a bottle and read the label. "I don't normally drink too much beer, but this looks just like my type. Thanks Mike."
Bo picked up another bottle grinning from ear to ear and said, "Yes, this brand must have been bottled for you specifically." Bo raised the bottle up for everyone to see "'Raging Bitch' anyone?!" she announced.
That elicited laughs from all.
For the next hour or so Kendra stayed with the gang and kept things informal as she did not redress back into her uniform. She just mingled and listened. Everyone there automatically clarified items to her she did not understand. Finally, Tamsin suggested to Dyson that it was time to have her visit to the Fae library to get her a head start. That library was also called Trick's basement. Kendra returned to Dyson's side as she heard her named mentioned.
"Kendra? What are you doing this weekend?" Dyson asked turning to her.
"Well normally this weekend is scheduled for our insanity workouts, but after today, I think I can give the team a break." Kendra said. "Why? Are you going to take me out to dinner for all those years of holding out on me?" she teased.
"Well, Tamsin suggested that I get you to a place where the alcohol and stacks of Fae related books are plentiful." Dyson grinned.
"Sorry Kendra, that place doesn't have the best food. It's a bar with a well-stocked library. Besides you make it sound like you 2 are going on a date." Tamsin said rolling her eyes.
Dyson decided to be a little bolder with Kendra as he slowly snaked his arms around her naked lower back and upper hips as he pulled her gently in towards him "I think I can arrange for dinner too if it is a date you want." Dyson said teasing but was part serious as well.
Kendra had worked with him long enough to know when he was joking, so she played along and upped the ante. "Oh Dyson, you are such a romantic" she cooed as she leaned into him and patted him on his chest with faux affection. "But you need a little bit more than dinner to get these pants to slide off my tight toned thighs." Kendra said with as much PDA as she could as she pecked him on the cheek while staring at him seductively in the eyes.
Bo and Tamsin just looked at one another and Bo just shrugged like it was nothing. Kenzi's jaw dropped again as Hale and her looked at one another in disbelief. 'She moves really REALLY fast. Damn, she can give Bo a run for her money if succu power was not involved. 'Kenzi thought.
Dyson got more than what he bargained for. He just wanted to embarrass her and in a way show some kind of power over her, but she was right, she was fiercely stubborn like Tamsin but she was more honed on the seduction department. Bo could seduce anyone just by looking or talking to them, enthrall them with a couple of gestures and make you hers with her powers, and sometimes even without and there was no turning it off. Kendra was unexpected as he had never seen this side before as their meetings were mostly brief and very professional. Dyson could only guess she used or turned on her wiles to get what she wanted without following through which made her different from Bo all together. She was really good at it too and her scent combination in addition to Bo's nearby made his head spin. For a brief moment his thoughts went to a threesome.
Kendra who was still rubbing Dyson's chest, knew she had won this engagement as she glanced down briefly and whispered into his ear closely "Do you have a high capacity Glock magazine in your pants or are you happy to see me? I *DO* need more of those *EXTENDED* 10mm magazines as I am a low." Kendra grinned claiming victory as she released him returning back to her normal self.
Bo on the other hand did have a minor tingle of jealousy as Kendra was now encroaching on her department and was doing it well for a human. Bo however still smiled at the apparent reaction Kendra had on him.
Dyson just pretended nothing happened as the normal banter just continued. After a bit Kendra received word via radio that her whole team was looked at and was ok and that many of them who did come out unscathed were ready to relieve precinct 70 onsite. To that Kendra left to give them their orders and duties for the next couple of hours. It would not be too long until Tamsin was free to go she guessed.
Kenzi just sat in Hale's lap with her arms around him as they whispered sweet nothings into each other's ears.
As for Bo, Tamsin and Dyson, they just continued to drink with their normal banter.
"So Fang, I see Kendra's got you wrapped around her finger. Are you SURE she is your pet and not the reverse?" Tasmin teased.
"Don't get too cocky T-sam, I'm just taking it easy on her. Give me a couple more days and I'll come out on top." Dyson rebutted.
"Dyson…. So soon? You have yet to have the first date!" Bo said mocking Dyson in good humor with a mischievous grin.
Dyson knowing that he just got owned by Bo conceded and said a moment later with a smug grin "Bo, it's not the position, it's how work it."
"Ewwwww" Tamsin squealed as she scrunched up her face in disgust "Now I need to take a shower, A REALLY LONG ONE, at that thought."
Bo then leaned over and whispered seductively into Tamsin's ear "Now *THAT* sounds like a date to me Tam Tam."
Just as Bo was about to pull back, her tongue licked the bottom of her ear lobe sending chills up Tamsin's body. She hated being a slave to the succubus's true nature but she allowed it, just this ONE time. 'Wow more like one ….. after another. She is just too powerful.' Tamsin thought in defeat a moment later.
Kendra finally returned 20 minutes later in her full gear which included her body armor with most of her empty magazine slots now reloaded.
"OK guys and gals, got 10 of my team still onsite for the next couple of hours locked and loaded. The others on my team who sustained minor injuries have already been sent home. I already talked the doctor into discharging Tamsin due to her 'miraculous' recovery. So I think you are all set." Kendra said as a matter of course.
"Thank you Kendra. You run a tight ship here and I am sure you will be a huge asset to the light in your position." Hale said formally with Kenzi still sitting on his lap.
"Thank you sir." Kendra said knowing that she was now addressing the Ash for the light.
"Kendra? Can I bring Tamsin home to let her recover for the rest of the week?" Bo asked.
Tamsin was about to interject until Bo put her index finger on her lips.
"Of course. Tamsin sustaining the injures she had as a human probably would have taken at LEAST a COUPLE weeks to heal sans Fae powers. We can't have her returning to duty unscathed tomorrow right?" Kendra concluded formally without emotion.
Dyson was glad Kendra was working with them now and considered how to protect the Fae existence from human kind.
"Thanks Kendra." Bo said smiling at the thought of all the time she would now have with Tamsin alone.
"Dyson, I'll see you at the Dal later in the week ok?" Bo said looking at him deep in thought.
"Of course." Dyson said as he perked up. He was kind of bummed that Kendra was dressed back up, but was in Tamsin's vest. 'I guess she was not lying about her body armor being ruined.' He deduced.
"Hello…. I'm still here?" Tamsin said waving her hand. "I don't know if I need 2 weeks, but whatever. Umm can I get something to take these damn stitches out? They are healed after all."
Knowing that it was time for the party to wind down, Dyson looked at Kendra and said he would wait for her in the lobby. Kenzi and Hale who could not stop sucking face, said their goodbyes and left.
Kendra finally came back with some surgical scissors and tweezers and gave it to Bo. She knew that Tamsin needed a hand to remove some of those stitches, but that Bo was probably the best person to do it.
"Terminator umm Tamsin you are the bravest and craziest bitch I know of, but you saved our collective asses today, so take the time off. We lasted 5 years on our own, so I think we can handle a couple of weeks. Oh Hump Day brought your car over here." Kendra said to Tamsin tossing her the keys. "Bo. I guess I will see you around." Kendra said as she glanced at her as she was about to leave.
"Wait, Kendra." Bo said trying to get her attention.
Kendra just turned her head to look at Bo as she paused her body in its half turned position.
"Thank you for *WORKING* with Dyson" Bo said not knowing how to say that she was thankful that Dyson was no longer hot on her trail.
Kendra hesitated as she thought a little more deeply about what Bo just said and from what she saw about her charm powers, she read between the lines and just nodded ever so slightly before she left. 'Did Bo just give me the green light to pursue a relationship with her ex? Interesting.' She thought. Would she however was an unanswered question she had as she left the room.
Kendra found Dyson in the lobby talking to some of the 69th. They all exchanged some small talk before Dyson drove Kendra home.
Bo set her Valkyrie up and was going to grab the surgical scissor and tweezers when Tamsin grabbed Bo into a long deep kiss. As they separated, Bo observed that Tamsin was watching her closely.
"Bo?" Tamsin murmured warily "Am I ummm still ummmm yours?". From what Tamsin observed there were a lot of changes that happened and she just needed to verify that she and Bo were still an item of sorts.
"Don't be silly Tamsin, of course you are my Valkyrie, the one and only." Bo said with an expression that told Tamsin that the question was borderline insane.
"So Bo, how did we end up sleeping on your disgusting floor a couple days back?" Tamsin followed up.
Bo was wondering why Tamsin was asking all these weird questions but obliged "Well as I remember it we ended up on the floor because I was trying to stop you from sharing a picture of me to the whole world…. And I won by the way. No one plays 69 better than me, ESPECIALLY the 'Pop goes the weasel' variant." Bo said as she kissed Tamsin again deeply to prevent a snide comment from coming back.
Tamsin's cheeks turned red slightly remembering that night. Now she at least knew that she was not in some alternate universe.
"Soooo how long have I been out since you juiced me?" Tamsin asked another odd question.
"Tamsin you were only out for a couple of hours since then. Are you sure you are feeling OK?" Bo said as she felt Tamsin's forehead for signs of a fever.
"Good, I am not in some freaking alternate or parallel universe 'cus it feels like it." Tamsin confessed.
"Why do you say that?" Bo asked with curious look.
"First, When the heck did Kendra transform into Tifa Lockhart and got Mr. tent in his pants Dyson to salivate over her? Doesn't Kendra know it is impolite to 'point' in mixed company? Either that or this hospital room was way too cold." Tamsin let out quickly a little flustered.
"Oh" Bo said "Well Kendra, at the request of Kenzi, needed to stall Dyson who wanted to see me ASAP, but I was so tired and we were still entangle with each other that we needed extra time. So I guess the stalling worked a little bit better than expected. I have no idea what happened there in which Dyson now craves a human. I have never seen that before." Bo smiled as she remembered how embarrassed Dyson was as Kendra was holding onto his arm.
"Then since *WHEN* does Kenzi fire and classic sniper grade AK-47 with long range scope, collapsible bipod with bayonet mount?" Tamsin said as she fired away the next question.
"What? How did you know about that?" Bo asked surprised
"Ummm I'm a detective remember? Kenzi has a picture of her with that rifle on what looks like a ship of some kind as her screen background. Funny, it suspiciously looks like something very similar to a weapon in my personal stash." Tamsin said knowing that this had Bo written all over it.
Bo put on her puppy dog eyes and did her best to let Tamsin in on the truth. "I was on a case with Kenzi and it led to the shipyard with your container. They had a mini army with lots of guns. We needed something more than what we had on each other which was 2 knives and a gun with a single magazine. Please Tamsin, I feel really bad about that, she does not have the code and I made sure she returned everything." Bo pleaded to Tamsin and put her hands together in a begging motion.
"Do you know HOW long and what lengths I have gone through to keep that container a secret? I let you in and boom …. Trouble magnet succubus happens… are we just letting anyone in now?" Tamsin said a little upset huffing out a laugh.
"I KNOW… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE forgive me. That saved… well you saved our asses today too because of it … OK? I know I had no right to do that. It was not like I could ask as we were in imminent danger." Bo pleaded some more as she leaned in closer to Tamsin holding one of her hands and while kissing it profusely.
Tamsin had to admit that Bo begging was something new. It was so human of her and that was what Tamsin liked. A goddess that knew her faults, admitted them, and even asked people lower than her for forgiveness even though it was not necessary. She paused in her response to bask in the moment a little longer especially after the 'sleeping on the floor' incident in which Bo has made one of Odin's best beg for mercy from a 'lowly' succubus.
"OK Bo, I'll forgive you… someday. Just don't ever do that again. I feel so violated knowing that the Goth pet of yours was salivating all over *MY* stuff… my hard earned spoils of war." Tamsin said with a smile as she patted Bo's hand to signal her forgiveness.
"Thanks Tammy." Bo said as she kissed her and as she was backing up Tamsin grabbed Bo's badge dangling from her neck and showed it to Bo with a puzzled look in her face.
"Oh that. I'm helping Dyson out on cases now that you are absent at the 39th…. ONLY until you come back of course. Hale helped me get a spot in the 39th." Bo clarified.
"So why are you dressed in this human frock?" Tamsin asked referring to Bo's power suit.
"Ummm Kenzi thought it best to impress the clients with something more professional. Why does this look turn you on?" Bo questioned.
"Maybe, but it is so not like you…. and that gun… WAIT a sec, is that mine from the time.. ummm when.. ummm" Tamsin stuttered trying to find the right words to frame that event in her favor as always.
"Yes you got it wet in my tub as I was bathing there all naked. How long were you just staring at me Tamsin before you decided to join me … ummm fully clothed unfortunately?" Bo let out with an evil grin.
"I'm not some sort of peeping tom ok?" Tamsin huffed out a little insulted "I was just a little … inebriated. It happens occas… very seldomly."
"Seldomly?" Bo interjected sarcastically knowing that it was significantly more than that. "So Tammy, are we done with the 20 questions here because *I'm* the one wearing the badge." Bo said jeering the Valkyrie. For some reason she loved to prod and tease her.
"WHATEVER Succubus. Gimme those scissors. I can take it from there." Tamsin ordered.
"No Tamsin, You can't get to some of the sutures. I can do it." Bo paused as it occurred to her that Tamsin was a Valkyrie and was not use to being seen this way in a vulnerable and hurt state. Valkyries heal quickly and for once Tamsin has to deal with healing slowly like a feeble human. Bo thought it better she rephrase her statement. "Tamsin, as someone who cares deeply for and about you, will you let me do this for you. Please." Bo asked as she purred in a whisper.
Tamsin hated being fawned over like some helpless and injured animal. She hated to be vulnerable. She was a Valkyrie damn it. Fallen or not, she still hated the situation she was in. She hated being dependent on someone, but in this case, it was Bo and was Bo possibly the only other person Fae or otherwise that would be allowed to look at and touch her in this state. Tamsin who was extremely self-conscious just slowly nodded.
Bo first removed the sutures on her scalp and head and she noticed the shame Tamsin was feeling. She never looked Bo in the eyes. Bo knew that Tamsin had a couple sutures on her torso and stomach from the incisions during surgery and removing Tamsin's gown was only going to compound the situation and make it worse.
Bo put the scissors and tweezers down and sat on the bed with Tamsin. Tamsin then looked on at her in confusion trying to figure out what she was doing.
"Tamsin, you are probably going to get a medal for what you just did today for Kendra's team, but you don't freaking need one because you already have several." Bo murmured ask she gingerly held Tamsin's chin to lock Tamsin's eyes onto hers. "These" Bo said as she motioned to and lightly touched the areas that formerly had stitches on them "*ARE* medals. These are not injuries or scars, these are badges of courage, insignias of your valor, and a hallmark, a living testament to your unblemished service to your goddess. As such I am immensely proud of you and honored to even be with you." Bo paused as she let her words sink in.
"Your eyes are both alluring and deadly." Bo began as she kissed Tamsin on her forehead.
"Your heart is an impregnable fortress but you feel." Bo said kissing Tamsin's cheek.
"You are courageous beyond words, yet you know fear." Bo moved down to kiss her neck as Tamsin closed her eyes and gave fully into Bo's advances.
"You are dark and break all the rules but do what is right." Bo then untied the back of her gown, and slid the scant material over the Tamsin's shoulders.
"You are a trained killing machine, but are gentle." Bo whispered as she moved Tamsin's gown even lower kissing her between her breasts.
"You show love, but you're a Valkyrie." Bo murmured as she pulled Tamsin's gown off kissing her on the stomach.
"You slay hordes of Fae, but you're human." Bo finally said as she moved to kiss the closed eyed Tamsin on the lips.
"Those qualities can't possibly exist here. They can't be real as those are contradictions. But here you are my Valkyrie." Bo said kissing Tamsin again on her lips more deeply as Tamsin allowed Bo's tongue access.
"*YOU ARE PERFECT*. To me you are." Bo said as she hugged her Valkyrie tightly in her arms stroking her back.
Tamsin had no idea what to say or do about Bo's very persuasive and convincing monologue to her. Here she was feeling ashamed and vulnerable, but Bo in her normal fashion turned the tables on her all in a couple of sentences. Bo spouted out a modified version of what Tamsin had told her a time ago in her very drunken bath tub confession. Bo was essentially now elevating Tamsin to such levels that she felt like she was being worshiped by Bo, by her own goddess. Tamsin finally opened up her eyes and after the hug, Tamsin reached up with one of her hands and caressed Bo's cheek and then gave her a loving kiss back. They kissed each other tenderly for several minutes and did not make even a peep as no words were needed. Tamsin during the kiss realized that she was totally naked in front of a succubus and wondered how that happened.
They finally broke the kiss with both Bo and Tamsin wearing all smiles. Bo brought her hand carefully up to a set of sutures on Tamsin's chest and looked into Tamsin's eyes to which Tamsin just nodded back confidently for Bo to proceed. The process was quick and was over with for all of Tamsin's sutures in no time.
"Tamsin?" Bo asked as she turned around to let Tamsin get dressed in the clothing the hospital techs did not cut off.
"Yep" Tamsin said as she held onto Bo shoulders from behind and craned her head around to be face to face with Bo.
"I wouldlove foryou to show me your place hereTamsin." Bo announced with a genuine smile knowing full well that both of them knew the correct meaning without being blunt.
Tamsin then walked around to the front of Bo with tactical black pants and a hospital supplied t-shirt. She pecked Bo on the lips and without hesitation stated "AndI would love to show it toyou too."
A/N: Kendra Shaw is a character from Battlestar Galactica Razor. I ported both her physical qualities as well as her entire badass persona. She is a little easier to write since she kind of already existed elsewhere. This chapter was long as you can tell due to the Kendra and Dyson hot/cold interactions and their complex relationship status. Oh yea, I hereby certify this chapter as cliff hanger free.
Moon FireStar: Thanks for your seriously awesome review. It definitely motivates me to keep writing.
Artemis Noir: Good question. Yes, I warn people about smut even though this story is rated M to allow people the option to skip it if the scenes get too explicit for them. I know writers here that had their story banned by broaching the MA rating. HOWEVER, the MA rating is subjective and it depends on the reader. So can I write scenes that make the MA rating seem tame? YES and it would be MUCH easier to write it as I don't have to be so obscure and vague. I see your point however and can adjust slightly. At 17 chapters and a long way to go, the last thing I (and readers of this fanfic) need is to get my story deleted off this site.
All: Happy New Year!
