Trick was reading some ancient texts in his library when he heard the sound of 2 people descending the stairs. One sounded like Dyson and the other had lighter steps, that of a woman. It was Kendra he probably guessed. Kendra. Well she sure does know how to make a big first impression he thought. In less than 5 minutes, she had managed to formally introduce herself and then incense a bar fight. She had good reflexes for a human and she was hell bent in revenge. The look she had on her face when she was on top of Grizzal said it all. It did surprise him that Dyson was able to talk her down. What was even more surprising that Dyson took on a human pet. It was unlike him. All the time Trick knew him, he segmented himself from the human world never creating close ties.
He glanced up to Dyson as he sauntered in followed closely by Kendra. Trick could not put his finger on it, but the way they moved together and their spacing to one another, they were good friends for sure but it also suggested something more. Could it be that Dyson was falling for a human?
"Hey Trick." Dyson said as he approached. "Just dropping Kendra off before I hit the precinct. Now that she is one of us, she would like to do research on all the common Fae varieties out there. More specifically, the ones that are common to her area." He stated formally.
"Hey, glad you 2 could make it." Trick said getting up to meet them. "I trust none of the patrons gave you issues?" Trick smiled looking at Kendra extending his hand.
"None. Yet. Thank you for your hospitality." Kendra said shaking his hand firmly with a very small hit of a coy grin as she bowed slightly.
"Well you can have a seat here. There is a full bar over there" Trick said point purposefully to the respective areas, "I have a book already out you. I'll fetch the other reading materials to get you started. Dyson, can I get a little help?" Trick asked glancing at him to which he just solemnly nodded.
Kendra sat down and immediately immersed herself into the thick leather bound book. Her hunger for knowledge of the Fae world was unquenchable. She tuned the rest of the world out reading and taking in as much as she could as if this knowledge could be taken from her at any moment.
Dyson walked with Trick as he gathered more books. Dyson just held the stack securely.
Trick finally decided to speak up "Have you ever claimed a human before in your life?" Trick asked Dyson still scanning at the rows of books on the shelf.
"No." Dyson said in a Spartan manner.
"What changed your mind?" Trick asked pulling a book from the bottom self, opening it up to skim it.
That was an excellent question. He had not really thought it through. It was not for the intimacy although he did like it so far. They just understood each other even though they belong in different worlds all throughout their friendship. It was just time to be a real friend and to stop keeping her in the dark. "Kendra is a very good friend, and after she uncovered the shape shifter cartel, she belonged in our world more than a human world. It was the only way to bring her into the fold." Dyson stated factually.
"Dyson," Trick said handing him the book he was reading, "I have only heard of you talk about Kendra maybe a handful of times and how long have you known her?" Trick asked with curiosity.
"Longer than 5 years." Dyson said wondering what he was getting at.
"And do you trust her?" Trick asked turning to face him.
"Yes." Dyson glibly responded with a poker face.
"Well Dyson, I hope that the claiming of Kendra as yours works out. I can only image how your brotherhood feels about that now that Kendra and team slaughtered so many of them." Trick stated with a dead serious look on his face.
"I can handle it, as always." Dyson grinned.
"OK, that's good enough to get her stated" Trick concluded.
Dyson turned to leave then Trick grabbed his forearm. Dyson looked back at Trick with a questioning gaze. Whatever Trick was about to say, Dyson knew it would be important.
"Be careful Dyson. She's not Fae. There are dangers not only from your brotherhood, but even more dangers of getting involved. Human/Fae relationships where the human is claimed seldom work out. In many cases the human was euthanized. That and even if it does work, humans live such a short time compared to our lives. After they move on, those Fae that did find love grieve for almost an eternity." Trick said with warning as he let go of Dyson's arm.
Trick was right. Normally Dyson did not care about anything human, but this human always had a bond of some sort with him. There were times when he looked forwarded to meeting Kendra just to see her. The meetings were formal, but every now and then Kendra would smile and tell Dyson her opinions about the oddities about the 'people' she was turning over to him. She was not reserved about her observations and tactics she honed herself to deal with them. Of course Dyson could only offer small bits of advice without revealing the Fae world, but Kendra would always get back to him or text him even when they did or did not work out as well. It was odd, their bond formed through something that they could never really talk about which was the Fae world. Now that she was part of them. That bond was getting stronger, fast. What to do about it was a fleeting thought before he put the stack of books on the table for Kendra. She was busily gorging herself on the information in her current book. Kendra did not even look up at Dyson and just said thanks. Dyson told her his terse farewell and Kendra only glanced up and said the same quickly before getting back to the book.
There Kendra sat and studied multiple books spread across the table. She only got up to get a drink, but she tuned out the outside world and was wrapped up in the world of what she felt like was fantasy. It was all true however and she relished the fact that many of the characters she read about when she was a kid, were actually real. She felt vindicated that she was not insane or having an overly active imagination. Quite the contrary, she found she was more or less on target through her observations.
Trick did stop in from time to time but she did not even look up. She was busy writing and hurriedly scribbling things down and taking notes. Upon passing, he realized that Kendra was not only taking notes, but was forming questions based off of those texts. No doubt she would have several for Dyson when they met back up later.
Dyson got to the station and reviewed several new cases. Most were items that he could take care of quickly and he did so. They were cut and dry. He was busy running around tying up all the loose ends. The paperwork of course always slowed things down. So toward the end of the shift, he prioritized his paperwork based on public exposure and urgency. This always took the bulk of his time and without Tamsin being there, it was just worse. The case that took the highest priority was Operation Beowulf. Kendra as well as Tamsin helped to keep that Fae case contained from the human population quite well. It could have been much worse.
Dyson picked up the radio transcript of the operation, and also brought the transcript up for editing on the screen to modify it to make it fit for 'human consumption' or have it destroyed. Destroying it was not an option since it was a high level operation which several humans knew about. So Dyson resigned himself to editing the content. He lost track of time with the editing but it was straight forward.
He was extremely impressed at how Tamsin led the team. They were all human, but she made good choices. He didn't know Tamsin even cared about the humans, but she took care of all the them. Now he fully understood why there were no losses on Kendra's team. Granted Tamsin was a little stubborn on falling back, but in the end, she still made the right choice to fall back with the rest of the team.
The bottom of the transcript stopped him dead. His heart sank even lower as he read it. Over and over, it read the same. He tried to move forward and delete its contents but it just kept staring at him in the face.
Terminator: [Barely audible] I love you Bow with every fiber of my being.
Terminator: [Barely audible] The dock is one lucky woman.
This day just got a lot more complex Dyson said to himself as he brush his hand through his hair with his elbow planted on the table. He looked down in defeat and tried to sort out all of this. The thought of Tamsin admitting to loving someone just blew his mind. Valkyries suppress emotions, not give into it. What hurt more was that the 'Doc' took higher priority than even him. But that was Bo. Lauren was missing and, well, Bo loved her too.
So there it was plain as day. Tamsin loved Bo. And Bo probably loved Tamsin too by the sheer fact of the kiss that Bo gave her at the Dal. Sure he could wait for Tamsin and the Lauren to expire, but that was just too morbid to fathom even for him. For the Lauren to expire as a human, that was expected since she is human. Wishing for Tamsin to expire as fallen Valkyrie went against his moral grain. She deserved to live and go out as a Valkyrie and not a human. Tamsin may have had a hidden agenda at the start, but she turned out to be one of the gang after all.
If Dyson had it in his powers to restore Tamsin's Valkyrie status even now, he would he brooded. Tamsin was more than a friend or partner, she was family. He rested his head on the desk and thought some more. Bo. Hope for Dyson to be with Bo just kept slipping away even further each day. 'Suck it up and move forward' he told himself. He stared back at the screen once more and hit the delete key. You can't un-see or un-say something. It still hurt. Period.
Dyson continued to work. He immersed himself in it to forget his woes. Ultimately, he took a break when his eyes had issues focusing.
He leaned back and rubbed his eyes. It was then he realized it was late evening and he'd better see how Kendra was doing. Dyson got up quickly and paused right after he put on his jacket. He then knelt down and quickly rummaged through a large junk drawer throwing out various items onto his desk he collected from the time he started working at the precinct. It was amazing to him how much crap he picked up and stored, but he found what he was looking for.
Dyson pulled out a small black wallet with a broken and rusted neck lanyard chain. It had mud all over it. He opened it carefully and looked inside thinking pensively about what to do next. He hurriedly put it in his jacket pocket and left his desk a moment later.
Bo had no idea what just happened but she woke up with a smile. She felt fully fed too. Looking at the light filtering into the room through the boarded up windows, it looked like it was around noon time.
"What's up Succubus?" Bo immediately heard in unison on both sides of her.
Bo lifted up her head and found 2 identical Valkyries flanking her on both sides. Then it hit her want just happened. She just got owned by Tamsin and Arin in a threesome.
"You bitches." Bo purred out stroking both women. "I can't believe we just did that."
"Yep, and that was just the appetizer. Now time for the main course." Tamsin said on the right side of Bo.
"Ummmm really?" Bo asked with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Bo, don't you know? You have to be able to tell us apart without taking our Chi. Besides, apparently ripping off our clothes does not help in identifying us." Arin stated to Bo's left.
"And what if Tamsin gets her awesome powers back then what?" Tamsin interjected. "Chi won't help ID us either."
"Well" Arin said pulling on Bo's arm sitting up next to her, "She's my succubus. She told me so."
"WHATEVER." Tamsin said sitting up has well and scrunching her face then pulling on Bo's other arm, "She's mine. She's *MY* succubus."
"NO! She's mine. She loves me not you. I'm Tamsin you bitch" Arin stated loudly pulling Bo to her side.
"You bitch! I'm Tamsin and she's all mine!" Tamsin said pulling Bo more forcefully to her. "Besides you can't handle a succubus that can't even keep her legs closed."
"Valka-Slut!" Arin yelled as she pulled Bo again towards her. Bo had a confused expression on her face trying to decipher who was who. "If the fucking shoe fits, wear it!" Arin continued.
'Wow, good one, but you're still my younger sister bitch.' Tamsin thought to Arin.
'Whatever. Slut.' Arin thought back. Arin then grinned at Tamsin.
"Valka-Whore! You just enjoy being Bo's bitch! What? You wanna full time job being on you back?! Lay down on the job much?!" Tamsin said loudly scrunched her face tiling her head at Arin pulling Bo once again to her.
Bo had no idea who was who. Their facial expressions even their banter were dead on. She needed to find a way to identify them some other way.
"Yadda Yadda Yadda. Talk talk talk. I'm Tamsin and so what if I'm on my back. At least I get more tail than you! Succutail tastes…. Yummy. PRUDE!" Arin said pulling Bo to her once more.
"Ladies! Stop." Bo finally interjected. It however did not stop the back and forth between the 2 very competitive Valkyries.
"Oh look who's talking! You are such a prude that if I put a lump of coal in your clam, a diamond would pop out less than an hour later!" Tamsin said not even bothering to pull Bo to her anymore.
"Oh my gods." Arin said looking up to the ceiling shaking her head.
'Oh you mega bitch, the gloves are off now sis' Arin thought to Tamsin.
'Oh bring it. Call me Imma. 'Cus Imma gonna own you. Like I always do.' Tamsin thought back.
"You're such a prude that you ran out of a store when you saw a sign that said 'men's clothing half off'." Arin snapped back closing the distance to Tamsin's face.
Tamsin then shoved Arin playfully and said "Well you're such a prude that you thought 69 was the quick order number for General Tso's Chicken at Hunan Palace!"
Arin the playfully push back a little harder and then proclaimed "Well you're such a prude that even the virgin goddess Athena looked at you and said DAAAAAAAMNNNNN!". This was of course follow by Arin raising her right hand high snapping her finger in the air.
"Well look who's talking! You're such a prude that you plugged your ears when they were teaching us about Pandora's Box!" Tamsin rebutted with an evil grin.
"Oh yea! Well you're such a prude that the only stripper you knew of was a tool you got at a hardware store!" Arin retorted back putting her hands on her hips.
Bo couldn't take this anymore. She had had enough. She finally sat up between the 2 naked Valkyries and pushed them both back. "ENOUGH CHILDREN! A little maturity PLEASE!" Bo yelled as them as her thin cover fell off of her.
Both Arin and Tamsin leaned a little forward to Bo and scrunched their face with a mischievous grin like a mirror image and said in unison "So Bo, who won?"
"Mature ladies. Really mature." Bo scolded them. She still could not tell them apart.
*** Do I really need a warning here? Bo, Tamsin and Arin naked in bed. Add it up. Yea threesome smut warning ***
"So Bo. Let's play a little game" Arin said cupping Bo's chin and bringing her into a deep kiss.
"Since you refuse to let us identify ourselves verbally and you are so hell bent to ripping our clothes off on sight you little slut, you need to be able to figure out who is who without pulling chi and asking 50 questions." Tamsin cooed turning Bo's head to her and wrapping her in a deeply kiss moments later, while Arin's hands pulled off the sheet draped lazily around Bo's waist.
"So we are going to keep you at peak until you can get us right 3 times in a row blind folded succubus." Arin stated factually pulling Bo to her into another kiss. Tamsin meanwhile grabbed the blind fold from the side drawer and quickly put it on Bo.
'Fuck. I can't tell them apart now! What more blind folded!' Bo thought to herself. She always wanted to be in control, but 2 Valkyries against 1 succubus short of using her powers were not good odds. "You bitches." Bo said in defeat.
Both Valkyries immediately went to work on Bo. Arin no longer needed instruction on Bo's weak points, she did just fine on her own now that Tamsin taught her. Keeping a slutty succubus at peak was not a problem for the Valkyries. Bo reached that point within minutes.
Bo was being dominated by 2 warriors. She was a prisoner of lust, stripped naked in front of them unable to halt their advances. She felt them kiss her all over, their hands roamed all of Bo's landscape leaving not a stone unturned. Their tongues and fingers explored her caves, hills and valleys. She was totally screwed in more ways than one. She couldn't think being at her peak and was extremely frustrated unable to release.
Bo tried to make the Valkyries peak hard to give her some time, but they were elusive and would shift positions before then. Bo's hands roamed both Valkyries but found, although it turned her on to feel 2 'Tamsin's', there was nothing really that was different about them.
When she was brought into a deep kiss, each time a Valkyrie would request for their name. Each time Bo guessed but never made it to 3 correct in a row. Those twins were just too similar. She just had no definitive way to identify them.
This went on for 30 minutes and Bo was just about to use her powers. She was so mind wiped with pleasure she needed release. She wanted to feed again although full. This was just pure torture for a succubus.
Finally a thought appeared to her. The deep kisses were slightly different between the 2. Although both were very similar passionate kisses. One was a little more tentative and reserved, even kind. The other, was more aggressive, domineering and mischievous. 'TAMSIN is the aggressive mischievous one' Bo finally thought. Finally before Bo lost all resolve, she guessed correctly 4 times. The 4th time, it was Tamsin and Bo hooked her legs around her back forcing her to say on top of Bo. Bo pulled her in forcefully.
"TAMSIN! That is 4 in a fucking row and I KNOW I'm right." Bo shouted. "Now please let me come before I Chi suck you both dry and release my succubus powers on you. You're less than one step away from being my fucking mindless thralls for the whole week bitches!" Bo announced loosening her tight leg like vise on Tamsin.
"Wow, such kill joy" Tamsin said scrunching her face at Arin. "Keep the blindfold on Bo and get ready for a ride. Valkyrie wakeup call coming up!" She proclaimed and immediately slid her hand down and penetrated Bo. Tamsin's other hand hugged Bo close hooking around the back of her back, restraining her for the onslaught of pleasure.
Bo had no idea what was happening. But she knew this was going to be big. Tamsin penetrated her and wondered why Tamsin held her in an almost crushing hug. But once Tamsin curled her digits to the right spot, Bo peaked aggressively. Her body convulsed uncontrollably but with Tamsin restraining those movements, Bo had something to grab onto tightly as well, bringing her to higher heights of pleasure when all her muscles tensed. Bo released harshly beating Tamsin's back with her tightly balled up fists and out of reflex her eyes glowed bright blue and immediately pulled chi from Tamsin and even Arin who was sitting next to them.
Bo wasn't hungry, but lost control briefly and fell into her nature. She just yearned for the addictive taste of Valkyrie Chi. What she was doing was primal and instinctive. To took a moment for Bo to come back down to her senses slightly as she turned her head away from them to break the connection. She rode the rest of the ride yelling something while not even processing what she was saying. Bo knew whatever she was saying was turning on Tamsin since Tamsin would make her pace more aggressive, preventing Bo from descending as fast from the high.
Tamsin just kept Bo forcefully at release, milking Bo's proclamations for all they were worth. It made her feel special and whole. It made her feel that for at least one fleeting moment that Bo was all hers, no one else's and that she was strong enough to sustain Bo's voracious appetite. It would be a perfect world only if it were true.
Arin's mouth dropped open and she could not believe what Bo, the goddess of the new order, was confessing to her sister. It could not be, but she heard the succubus shout, "I love you Tamsin! …. AHHH! … Dominate your slutty succubus! Teach her a lesson not to fuck around! … UGGGG!... I'd rather starve than feed from anyone else! Forget Lauren and Dyson. Be mine and only mine! AHHHH!... As I am entirely and faithfully yours!"
Arin was dumb founded. The succubus was too mind wiped with pleasure to lie. Even then, Bo was always straight forward and honest. Getting Bo to say what she was thinking was the trick and it looked like Tamsin did just that. A virtuous succubus and demigoddess that wanted to be 100% committed to a fallen Valkyrie. Willing to starve to death than to beak that commitment. Further reinforcing to Arin that they were deeply in love with one another.
The problem was Tamsin already wrote herself off. Willing to give her true love away to another and Arin knew painfully why. Tamsin would rather die a warrior's death, with glory and honor than be treated like a fragile glass figurine. The only way to stop this was for Tamsin to be re-instated, but she followed a demigod, Bo. Sure Bo gave her some minor powers back, but for Tamsin it was all or nothing. For Arin, that hurt that not even she could beg Odin or Freya on her sister's behalf. If it came down to that before, she would have, but the cost to Tamsin would be the loss of the possible bond she has with Bo. Nothing was worth gaining the world but losing their soul.
'SHIT! The Valkyrie's bond!' Arin thought. The way things were going now, Tamsin should have been able to bond with Bo, but she was fallen and it simply could not occur. The odd part about it was that even though the bond or bonding ritual was never performed, Tamsin still knew when Bo was in trouble, so Bo and Tamsin were bonded in some fashion but it was more of a loose one.
'The bonds of love' Arin though more deeply. 'Maybe the Valkyrie bond is related to love's bonds'. Arin broke off her thoughts as a shiny and bright eyed Bo pulled Arin into a kiss. She blushed a little knowing that Bo cared even for her.
"Thanks Arin for saving my ass. No pun intended." Bo said to Arin with a grin.
"And you my Valkyrie," Bo turned to Tamsin who was actually beaming radiantly for once "are pure unadulterated evil. I know you coached Arin via the link. No fair. No wonder she knew to handle me."
"Who said anything about me being good? Hello….. use to work for Odin…. Dark Fae… how'd that idea ever pop in your dirty little mind?" Tamsin grinned even more. She loved being mischievous around the good two shoes Unaligned Succubus.
'Tamsin, I still need to talk to you.' Arin thought out to Tamsin.
'OK sis. Let's take this downstairs. Besides all your clothes are still there.' Tamsin thought back.
A voice from the bottom of the stairs announced loudly to everyone in the room. "Hey Bo-Bear and Harem! I don't know which is worse, the effect of what looks like a wrecking ball hitting this place or watching the music video. I'm coming up so please cover up for the sake of my virgin eyes."
"And that's about the only thing virgin about her." Tamsin grumbled and not a moment later Bo lightly whacked her arm. To that Tamsin just grinned at Bo. "What? Tell me I'm wrong." Tamsin challenged to which Bo did an eye roll.
They all just covered their selves up with a sheet when Kenzi strolled in with a pile of clothes. "Bo Bo, I know you get hungry, but unwrapping Arin like that must have broken some sort of speed record somewhere." Kenzi stated. At that moment, she observed one of the twins look away in embarrassment in addition to Bo's cheeks getting a slight hue of red. BINGO. Kenzi made a bee line directly to Arin and set the cloths down in front of her.
"Thanks short stack." Arin commented not realizing that she used Tamsin's designation for Kenzi.
Bo looked at Kenzi confused and questioned "Kenz, how did you know that was Arin?"
"I got mad skills. I assume you had *minor* problems identifying the clone troopers apart? Sooo wrong my succu enerigizer bunny." Kenzi clarified to Bo but added "And SPEAKING OF 'still going', you ladies can continue 'cus I gotta date with a Siren at the light compound. Not that I kiss and tell, but he needs help *relaxing* every now and then."
This just made both Valkyries look away and gag like they were going to throw up.
"Oh. The stress of the being the Ash but ash happens with he deals with 'FIRE'!" Kenzi announced walking away and licking her index finger and touching her behind while simultaneously making sizzling sound effects.
That made all of the women in bed do an eye roll.
"Well as much as I'd like to play these games all day, Arin and I need to talk Bo." Tamsin said at the tail end of the sizzling sound ignoring the Goth girl prancing towards the steps.
"OK, sure. I have to take a shower anyway." Bo said getting out of the bed stark naked. Right before she left she bent down and gave Tamsin a deep kiss. "I might need protection Tamsin. Wanna come with?" Bo asked seductively.
"Right succu-boobs. Protection from what? The water being too cold or hot. Sooooo dangerous." Tamsin sarcastically said huffing out a laugh.
"You never know. Last time I was attacked by a Morag, and then a drunken stalker Valkyrie. I just have such bad luck." Bo pouted at Tamsin. Bo then took Tamsin's free hand then led Tamsin's hand to trace Bo's long legs to her thighs holding it there.
Arin heard all this and was hurriedly getting dressed before another threesome occurred. Not that she was adverse to it but Tamsin may still need time with Bo alone. Also Arin *SAMPLED* the things in life, not necessarily had a smorgasbord of it. This would be way too much for her she surmised.
"Not working succubus." Tamsin said looking away.
Bo could see Tamsin's aura increasing so it was working.
"I'll see you down stairs later sis." Arin announced quickly trotting down the steps in a retreat zipping up her pants then grabbing her jacket.
Bo then leaned over to give Tamsin another kiss and moved Tamsin's had to her chest. "Just image" Bo whispered in Tamsin's ear. "You, me, water running over our naked bodies, *TONGUE* bath from a succubus, and Oh yes, you fucking owe me a rematch from the last time's shower we had at Trick's." Bo purred.
Tamsin was putty in Bo hands. She still managed to squeak out a "Whatever, we can't do this all day. I have to see why Arin wants to see me in person. She's avoiding using the link for a reason", Tamsin meekly stated as her hand automatically started to feel Bo's smooth skin.
"Just a little quickie?" Bo said sliding the sheet completely off Tamsin "Besides, I know you want it judging by your aura and how wet you're making the sheets now."
Bo then pushed Tamsin on the bad and mounted her.
"Make me succubus. I can resist you" Tamsin challenged. "You don't want to do this now." Tamsin said forcefully. The area around her eyes became a slight shade of black. Tamsin felt a small amount of her doubt powers at work and she wanted to see if she had more in her.
"Awwww so cute. Using your powers on me are we?" Bo murmured. "Lucky for me. I don't need to use my powers to own you."
Tamsin immediately flipped on top of Bo trying to see if she could force more doubt out. She brought her face closer to Bo and said "You can't resist me forever. I can also keep you pinned down. I *am* a warrior after all." How she loved dominating the succubus.
"You're right, I can't. But I can….. "Bo said holding onto Tamsin rib cage gently, "TICKLE YOU!" Bo immediately went to work on Tamsin's sides.
Tamsin shifted and stated unsteadily "Not working succu-slut."
"Then why can't you cast your mighty doubt on a small helpless succubus anymore." Bo shot back with a grin. Tamsin's eyes had returned to their normal coloration.
'Fuck not again. I am a powerful warrior and I will not be taken down this way' Tasmin thought to herself stifling her laughs. She trapped Bo's arms and stop their movements, but try as she might her body already got hyposensitized at the mere suggestion. Bo tickled whatever she got a hold of and it was working.
Tamsin finally let out a hearty and strong laugh. "STOP BO!" she yelped in her laugh. "Fuck! Ha ha ha…." She could not think when her hold loosened on Bo. "SHIT. 2 can play that game." Tamsin huffed out unable to stop laughing. She went to work on Bo's sides and soon moved under her arms. Bo was not ticklish, but Tamsin found the right spot.
Bo bucked Tamsin now that her straddle was getting sloppy. She didn't want to laugh either but Tamsin found her kryptonite. Tamsin was taken by surprise and it was easy for Bo to mount her on top again. Bo ticked Tamsin more now that she was trapped but Tamsin still managed to get the mighty succubus to crumble as well. She laughed as Tamsin kept tickling her under her arms and could not stop.
Tamsin still had the sense to buck Bo to get on top for dominance and even though both were laughing hysterically, it was a matter of who could make the other laugh more.
"Give up succu-slut?!" Tamsin said through her stifled laughs.
Bo bucked again in a fit of laughter and wound up on top again "Epppp! Never. Ha ha ha. I'm the legendary Unaligned …"
Tamsin bucked her again trying to trap her better but it was tough since she was still be tickled by Bo. "*UNALIGNED SLUT*. Hahaha. Unaligned so you can bang both light and dark… hahahaha" Tasmin said tickling Bo more furiously so she could not respond. "human or Fae… hahaha".
Bo bucked again and was on top once more. "TRUE. Hahaha, you're the tough Valkyrie warrior that can't even keep her legs closed around me. Hahahaha Slut! Hahaha." Bo huffed out laughing. Just when she thought she had Tamsin trapped well, Tamsin used an escape move to get on top again.
Tamsin was laughing so much she had problems thinking of witty come backs but lucky for her, they were second nature "Fuck.. ha ha ha… epppp! … You'd bang *ALL* those heartless una-mens to their graves in … FUCK… ha hahaha …. One massive orgy if you could… eppp! WHORE!."
"Well you" Bo said bucking Tamsin in laughing hysterics to get on top, "ha ha ha, need to be schooled that wars *CAN* be won.. ha ha ha… with nonviolent means! Eppp! Ha ha ha."
Tamsin rolled on top of Bo yet again. "You mean on your fucking back! Hahahahaha SLUT!"
"Look who's talking! Hahahahaha, then why are you so wet? Hahahahaha" Bo retorted in a huffed out laugh. She bucked once more but this time Tamsin disengaged quickly and got out of the bed. Bo got off the other side to prevent Tamsin from escaping.
Tamsin could not take any more tickling and what was worse was that Bo was chasing after her like a school girl on a play ground with only a bed in between to separate them. She was so hyposensitized that even Bo's suggestive movements and words would make Tamsin laugh even though not even touched.
Arin was just down stairs taking a drink from the bar. Their chasing of each other was making the house shake. She looked up then dusted herself off. She just smiled shaking her head up at the ceiling. Tickling. Great, this was probably another weakness she had all thanks to her sister Arin thought. "Eppp! No Bo! Stay away!... (running) Get back here Valkyrie! Retreat much! … (scampering)… You are soo going to pay for this later mega tits! ….. Sounds kinky … (scampering) Eppp! Give up Bo?! …. Never! Begging Valkyrie sounds delicious … (running) … Epppp!... " was what Arin heard. She huffed out a laugh and took another shot. Normally Arin would have said a smart ass comment to Tamsin via the link to get a rise out of her, but Tamsin, Arin brooded, had her hands full right now. Literally and figuratively.
Bo lunged across the bed and grabbed Tamsin around the thighs before she could evade. Tamsin tried to run away but Bo flipped her on the bed and mounted her once more.
Tamsin felt herself being mounted and was about to beg for mercy. But then in a twist of fate she felt Bo kiss her deeply, urgently, and with passion. One kiss told Tamsin how much Bo wanted her. It was further reinforced when she felt Bo's digits play with her folds and pearl. To her own surprise, her body betrayed her and not only allowed better access but bucked her hips back in addition to get more friction.
Bo rested her forehead on Tamsin's and confessed out of breath in a defeated tone, "Tamsin, I have no idea what I said to you when you made me peak just now, but I do know it came from my heart, and I meant it."
Tamsin too was tired and out of breath. But she then admitted meekly and barely audible, "I never knew that one succubus could make me feel this way. Feel so weak just by the sheer mention of your name. I'm so fucking addicted to you Bo."
"I can read your aura, but I respect you. Would you like me to take you the rest of the way?" Bo asked softly.
Tamsin was conflicted inside. Bo knew it and she knew it. Tamsin hated even admitting she was weak or clingy. She had no idea what to say. A snide comment to the effect of saying no but really mean yes, a blunt answer which was not normally her, or evade which will leave her unfulfilled. All choices were wrong or not her but deep down she wanted to say 'fuck yea!'.
Bo saw her conflicted Valkyrie gauging by her facial expressions. Bo then whispered, "You are not weak or needy, you *love* which is more powerful than any other magic out there. You're just amazing the way you are."
Tamsin finally found the right response, it used no words what so ever. Tamsin hugged Bo around the neck and smiled genuinely. She slowly brought Bo in for a deep tender kiss. Tamsin's answer was 'fuck yea' after all and Bo received it loud and clear. Words were over rated anyway Tamsin thought.
Bo slowly brought her Valkyrie to a slow and steady peak building up the finale.
Tamsin had so much sexually pent up desire for Bo since Arin had all the fun last night that she just crested hard. It was unexpected for her. Tamsin was at such a high she knew she was going to not only going to curse but yell her secrets away too. There was no way to stop it and at hear peak, Tamsin proclaimed everything that was in her heart to Bo in her native Valkyrie tongue.
Bo could tell that Tamsin was experiencing the same effect that she had earlier and kept her at the heights of pleasure until Tamsin came down by herself. Tamsin yelled at the top of her lungs at first but as she descended she declared several statements loudly. Bo at first felt let down, but after a couple seconds of hearing Tamsin's native Valkyrie tongue found it, along with depths of her expressiveness, simply beautiful. Tamsin need not convey understood words to tell Bo she deeply and truly loved her.
*** Smut end I guess ***
Arin took in a drink but she spat it out suddenly and recovered from a coughing fit. Her sister was not only yelling at Bo as she peaked ruthlessly but her proclamations that followed leaked over loud and clear to Arin via the link. Arin could hear Tamsin both verbally and through the link. Never in all her lifetimes would she have guessed those words would have come from Tamsin. These were both powerful and moving affirmations that were sworn to gods like Freya and Odin, but they were mixed in with beautiful expressions of love and faithfulness. Tamsin officially just gave Bo fealty AND unconditional love. Bo probably did not know it, but when a full Valkyrie makes statements like these in their native tongue, you become bonded ceremony or not. The last Valkyrie to ever do that was Hildr. Now it was Tamsin who spoke from her heart like Hildr but stated in her own words, "I, Tamsin of the 4th order, promise on my soul that I will spend the remainder of my lifetimes faithful in love, service and devotion to you Bo Dennis, goddess of the new order. I will never cause you harm and will observe my homage to you utterly and completely against all enemies in good faith and without deceit. I only ask that you accept this flawed and fallen Valkyrie before you into your realm as I am yours to command until my final breath."
Arin just sat there in awe at what she just witnessed. Tamsin in these past couple of life time's swore to never follow another Fae, person or god but here she was bowing down to the Unaligned Succubus.
Bo held her Valkyrie close kissing her tenderly until Tamsin came fully down from her high. Bo had no idea what Tamsin said but it was a thing of beauty and love. She wanted to ask Tamsin exactly what she just said, but it could wait.
"Hey, shower with me?" Bo asked Tamsin.
Without hesitation, Tamsin just said with a grin and a click "You bet."
Tamsin and Bo washed down quickly assisting each other in the process. They got dressed, with Bo offering Tamsin a shirt.
"As much as I love your stuff Bo, girl's gotta have standards." Tamsin said with a snarky attitude and then scrunched her face. "I got stuff in the truck. Besides, I might see the wolf boy and, I don't need him to confuse me for you." Tamsin then continued quickly seeing Bo pout when Tamsin donned on the jacket over her naked body. "JUST, keep it in your pants from here to the car OK? If I get any fewer cloths, I might get arrested for public indecency."
"Mmmmmm, sounds…. Ummmm " Bo purred out thinking about all the possibilities.
"DOWN SUCCUBUS! DOWN!" Tamsin ordered knowing that Bo's dirty mind was turning.
"Ok," Bo smiled, "I was just kidding you know."
"Sometimes I wonder." Tamsin said shaking her head and walking down the steps with Bo following closely behind.
"A succubus that doesn't want to tap this." Tamsin stated sarcastically going down the stairs patting her backside. "I may not be the fastest in math but even I can see that it doesn't add up."
"Tamsin! If you don't stop tempting me, you're going to be the one all 'whore' out in a minute. And Arin was only a light snack for me." Bo grinned admiring Tamsin's spunk as well as her ass.
"Oh joy." Tamsin grinned looking over her shoulder. "Promise?" she said with a wink.
They met Arin down stairs who was a little embarrassed hearing Bo's comment about being just a snack. Tamsin then told Arin that they could talk at the Dal. Bo wanted a place to hang out and catch up with the rest of the gang anyway.
Arin now had more things to talk to her sister about since Valkyries don't declare fealty to anyone else but their gods in Valhalla.
Kendra kept her face buried in the stack of books Trick gave her. She had it spread out all over the table as she cross referenced different sources. Already she had pages of notes and questions to ask Trick, Dyson or Tamsin. She felt bad that she kind of ditched Tamsin to hang out more with Dyson, but both of them were kind of taking care of more urgent items on the personal front. Besides Dyson was her guide in all this Fae stuff. She hoped that Tamsin and Bo were getting along better than her and Dyson. It was not such much that they were at each other throats yet, but more along the lines that she did not know was Dyson was to her. Was this a friends with benefits type thing or was it more? Kendra felt deeply connected with Dyson so was it more? Could she let go of Eric and could Dyson let go of Bo?
Kendra paused. Her and Dyson made her stop to think again. She actually missed him just now in the solitude of the library. She had no one to talk to or make fun of. As for Trick, she only asked him a few major questions since she did not want to wear out her welcome.
A grumble emitted from her stomach as she looked about. She saw the clock on the wall and it registered 3pm. Way past lunch time, so like a gopher she decided take one of her books and walk upstairs to the bar to see what she could get. On her way up she heard a couple bar patrons which surprised her since bars only get active starting in the evening.
"Nyet, Nyet, Nyet!" Dimitri exclaimed to Jessica in a booth in the back of the Dal. "Yes, you need John and Jamie to be your eyes but they can't see everything. You need more over watch positions on these buildings." He said pointing at 3 other structures on a map. "You need overlap with the density of the crowd."
"No. I can see maybe one more over watch position, but we need a larger ground presence to respond quickly to any security related incidences." Jessica argued. The Dal was pretty much empty but she looked up and lowered her voice slightly. "Also we need more people to man the check points… here." Jessica did point at the paper but then also pointed toward a patron surreptitiously who was taking a seat at the booth opposite them on the other side.
Dimitri just kept talking but glanced at what Jessica point to. "Nyet again. If we can't see, ground forces are useless." Dimitri said more softly and glanced at the figure taking a seat. "How about we compromise with 2 over watch position with more snipers. Like so." He took out a notepad and wrote 'WIDOW MAKER! Where is Fae that owns her?'
Jessica just took the pad back and wrote while talking 'Dyson Wolfbane? IDK. Odd'. "Well how about we use the newbies to augment checkpoints then."
Dimitri then took the pad 'Intros?' "I guess some tools can do that job, but they have no idea what to looks for."
Jessica grabbed the pad once more shook her head sternly at Dimitri 'DO NOT ENGAGE. Need Kenzi and Bo first.' "Well we can always shrink the perimeter."
Dimitri then laughed and said "Da. We ask thousands of guests which include royalty, to pack in like sardines."
Jessica looked annoyed and finally just slumped in her chair. "Got any bright ideas then?" Jessica let her pen tumble into the table.
"Yea. Rather than guess how we plan to secure the area, we need to find out which external team is augmenting our numbers." Dimitri stated with a smug grin.
Jessica just exhaled deeply and put a hand on her face to cover it. "Yes, but until we know, it would be better to plan for it without them. Drills and preparations need to start now with a little less than 2 months to the wedding. Fucking peace between our 2 kinds depends on it. FML."
Dimitri then laughed "Yea well with your fiery attitude of yours, you're not easy to get along with. At least you're easy on the eyes."
Jessica just flipped and shot back in a louder tone. "And do you always have to walk around like you got a stick up your ass… wait.. YOU DO." Jessica chucked but then continued, "So you mean if I get that Goth girl Kenzi you drool over with her shiny AK-47, you'd let her run security for the wedding."
"Well you never know. She might do a better job." Dimitri said leaning back into his chair throwing his hands up.
"Asshole! Will you fucking stop staring at her ass and get your head out of the gutter?" Jessica retorted.
Dimitri then smiled and in an over exaggerated Russian accent stated "Da, She has good, how you say? ASSETS."
A voice form the opposite side of the room from a booth loudly stated in an Australian accent "Not to pry, but depending on how much tech you have monitoring the area, you may be able to cover more area with less bodies and still be effective."
Jessica and Dimitri looked at Kendra who still had her head looking at a book in a relaxed posture. She was snacking on some fries.
** Couple minutes earlier**
Kendra walked into the bar and glanced around. There were only about 5 patrons. 2 of which caught her eye. They looked like friends, but at the same time they looked from their body posture and build some sort of warrior. Maybe mil, ex-mil, probably mercenaries. They also took a booth at a back corner of the bar which was a defensible position. Their conversation on how to defend a position validated that.
Kendra walked over to Trick at the bar and smiled, she had no idea what he offered, but he pulled out a plate which had a little bit of everything. Like a sampler platter you'd get at a restaurant. Typical deep fried flare.
"Thought you'd be up earlier. I hope you don't mind, I fixed you up a little bit of everything hoping that something will be to your liking." Trick said motioning to the plate. Trick was amazed that Kendra kept wanting to read. Not only that, but her note book was filling with notes fast glancing at the tabs she put on them. Very well organized for a human he thought.
"Looks delicious. Thank you." Kendra said with a smile. She departed taking her seat on the far opposite booth to the mercenaries. She was not looking for trouble but in case trouble found her, she pulled out her full framed Glock and set it on the chair next to her.
The conversation between the man and the woman was heated; both had differing points of view. The woman was in charge and to that Kendra was impressed. Their reporting structure was informal almost like friends. From what Kendra noticed through the banter, was that they were probably partners on a professional level. Also through their banter she found that they were both different types of Fae. One dealt with fire and the other nature specifically wood. Kendra had no idea that a wedding needed that much hardware, but she just started to scratch the surface of all things Fae.
The conversation moved to someone she knew, Kenzi. Impressive, Kenzi did not look the like gun totting type, but to each their own Kendra thought. Finally after trying to concentrate on her book unsuccessfully since their conversation obviously took quite a few twist and turns to Kenzi's appearance, Kendra said factually, "Not to pry, but depending on how much tech you have monitoring the area, you may be able to cover more area with less bodies and still be effective."
"We are honored and pleased to meet your acquaintance, Captain Shaw." Jessica bowed slightly.
"Well we could reassess our tech we have deployed. Care to join us?" Dimitri offered with a smile.
Kendra knew she should have not spoken up. This could be trouble. She glanced at Trick, who saw this exchange and he just shrugged. Apparently he did not have anything bad to say about them. "I'm sorry, I'm at a disadvantage. And you are?" Kendra asked leaning forward resting her head on her left hand while sliding her right hand slowly to her Glock.
Kendra was surprised how cool the woman played her part. She made no expressions that showed her cards. Nor did she make movements that seemed threatening. But looking at her, she was probably packing, that in addition to her powers.
"Captain Shaw, I am Jessica Flanders, unit lead and intel for the fire sprite clan. I know you have been through a lot from what I hear and I am not your enemy. I swear on my blood oath we are not here to harm you or your friends. The Dal is neutral ground and unlike Grizzal, we respect that. Besides, if I needed to kick someone's ass right now it would be Dimitri's." Jessica said factually keeping her seat motioning to her partner.
"Dimitri Kosov. Unit lead for the tree elder clan. I report to Jessica but she's always lighting fires under my ass. She's a pain if you know what I mean." Dimitri said looking at Jessica holding back a snicker.
"Fair enough." Kendra said without emotion.
Kendra slowly holstered her Glock hidden from view. Jessica just gave her a blood oath which was from her research like giving someone your word, but in a much stronger sense Kendra brooded. She looked at Trick again who was talking to a person at the bar and did not seem overly concerned. So she left her book at the table, as well as her defensible position to walk casually over to Jessica and Dimitri's table. She could tell that they were hardened mercenaries. They acted nonchalantly too but all the them were on a hair trigger. Ready for anything if shit happened. Kendra smiled and tried her best to look friendly like she did with Bo when they first met but it was hard not to get a little nervous since she had no back up units so to speak. That and she was dealing with Fae. She needed her guns, but they did not need theirs since they could just use whatever powers they had. Now she understood why she never saw Dyson heavily armed or wearing body armor.
She just got the booth when Kendra saw a very fast moving object approaching her in her peripheral vision. Likewise she saw a Jessica reach for her firearm but her left hand punched forward and started to glow like a flame pointing toward the object. Dimitri was not far behind reaching for his weapon but it looked like branches were extending quickly out of his left hand toward the thing.
Kendra just acted out of reflex with all these events and drew her Glock without a thought and turned her head to meet this foe dead on. Was she being ambushed? Could she even trust Jessica and Dimitri?
The object stopped dead when it impacted on Dimitri's branch barrier as his other branches ensnarled and trapped it. He had his Russian MP-443 Grach drawn and pointing towards the ceiling ready to go if need be. Jessica had a fireball in her left and had drawn and sharply aimed her stainless steel Beretta 92FS at the now trapped object. Kendra? She backed up a couple steps and snapped her full frame Glock aimed at the object with her right hand and her left had reflexively managed to pull her backup weapon pointing down to the ground in case she needed to fend off additional attackers.
Finally when the dust settled, all 3 exclaimed in unison "Kenzi?!"
A voice finally came from the branch barrier. "Guys? I need to go to the bathroom really bad now for some reason. So not cool." Kenzi announced meekly.
"Jeeez! You gotta stop doing that Twitchy! You almost got yourself killed … AGAIN." Kendra said lowering her weapons. She looked over at Jessica and Dimitri and they had excellent reflexes no doubt honed over hundreds of years.
"Twitchy?" Jessica commented with a smirk. She brought her hand down extinguishing the fireball in it and also lowered her gun. "Ummm Dimitri, you can let her go now."
"Otpustite (let me go) Dimitri!" Kenzi requested sternly from Dimitri in Russian.
Dimitri pulled all his branches back and holstered his weapon. "Izvinite (Sorry) Kenzi" he said stammering an apology.
"I have a feeling that this town is getting too rough for me." Trick announced to all staring everyone down but continued in a serious tone. "Is everyone done showing off yet? The Dal is sanctuary to all in case any of you have forgotten."
"As proprietor of this way station, we humbly ask your forgiveness for this transgression." Jessica smoothly let out for everyone. She put away her weapon quickly.
"I apologize Trick. Thank you for your patience." Kendra stated a moment later bowing to him to slightly while simultaneously putting away both of her weapons.
Trick just let out a disappointed grumble and went back to work behind the bar.
"OK." Kenzi stated with uncertainty "I guess everyone knows each other."
Kenzi was still coming down from the adrenaline rush. She looked at what seemed like an unlikely conglomeration of Fae and human. From their mismatch of 'powers' they looked to her like a bad remake of the Avengers. She was actually surprised they knew one another.
"Well we do now." Dimitri stated bluntly with a grumble at the end.
Kenzi abruptly turned to Dimitri. "Dimitri, we gotta talk, you posted a picture of ME on the internet! And it's about to go viral." Kenzi exclaimed whacking him on the arm. He just brought his arm up to defend.
"What. Is good picture ya? Is not like you are in birthday suit." Dimitri stammered out.
"That's not the point, it's MY face you are using and no one gets a photo op with Stalingrad without my permission" Kenzi let out frustrated.
"You named the AK-47 Stalingrad?" Jessica questioned incredulously.
"Nice touch," Kendra inserted relaxing her stance watching things unfold before her.
"OK OK, I give you 40% commission from ad revenue if picture goes viral, Da?" Dimitri offered in a slight Russian accent.
"You freaking think you can buy the Kenzi-nator off. HA! I got ethics and standards you know. And let me tell you…" Kenzi rattled off quickly.
"50%" Dimitri tersely stated.
"Deal!" Kenzi said as they shook hands.
Kendra just shook her head.
"Are we done with back room dealings here because we do have real business we have to take care of?" Jessica cut it.
"Jessica! Oh my god! Great to see you again." Kenzi said walking over and hugging her where she sat. Jessica just smiled slightly like she was embarrassed. "Kendra, this is Jessica and she's a life saver I tell you. *LIFE SAVER*. And I'm NOT talking about the candy."
"You already know Dimitri the Russian paparazzi." Kenzi stated flatly gesturing to him. "What no Makarov today?" she asked him.
"Nyet, is in car." He shrugged. "But it makes good backup weapon. I am sucker for classic reliable weapons. Besides, who needs 18 rounds from Grach when *I* am weapon." Dimitri stated tapping his chest. For some reason his Russian accent was only more pronounced when he was dealing with Kenzi.
'Wow the foreplay' Kendra thought. 'If Tamsin was here she would have called him on it already. But I guess we can plan nice'.
They finally all made room in the large booth and Kendra grave her opinions on how to deploy their existing technology and did recommend some newer ones. She had plenty of experience circumventing them.
Jessica finally stopped the conversation dead cold. "Kenzi, I can't do this to you. We need your services for this wedding. We can pay in krugerrands if you like."
Kendra just shook her head knowing Kenzi would fall for anything that had to do with money.
Kenzi lit up and said "Well sure! Let me know what you need and we'll get it done! Heck even Stalingrad may make an appearance."
Jessica stopped the energetic female "No, we also need Bo, to be one of our guests."
"DONE! No problemo!" Kenzi blurted out.
"Captain Shaw, you and I know I need to augment the team with a group that is not affiliated with any of the clans we are inviting, especially from the tree elders and fire sprite clans." Jessica stated.
Kendra knew where she was going. "No. We are NOT mercenaries. Granted I swore an oath to protect Fae kind, it does not mean that I am a gun for hire."
Jessica put her hands up to stop her "Hear me out. You have already made a huge name for yourself as well as the unaligned succubus. We need the 'widow maker' and possibly team to augment our numbers."
Kendra was actually flattered a little. She was being compared to the legendary Bo Dennis and she was human. She was just about to respond when Kenzi got up and pulled Kendra out of her seat to talk to her.
Kenzi stated in a low whisper "You need a manager and let me tell you, as Bo's manager, look at where she is at now? Reaching for the stars. So let me handle this."
"NO! I just got into the Fae world and I am not going to mess it up for Dyson or anyone else." Kendra whispered staunchly.
Kenzi smiled and broke her very serious expression moments ago "DYSON? Wow you really do move fast."
A voice then came from behind them. "Hi" Bo said to everyone with a bright smile.
Tamsin walked in behind Bo taking in all the people. Arin broke off early and sat at the bar to talk to Trick. Shit this was not good Tamsin thought. New clients, who looked like mercs, and Kenzi driving. Never ever a good combination she thought. She just frowned slightly and hung back. "Captain," was all Tamsin said looking at Kendra.
Kendra knew that Tamsin was suspicious and rightfully so. She just shot back, "Lieutenant".
Kenzi immediately broke off to Bo and switched to her full on sales pitch. She pulled Bo to the table who also seemed a little suspicious but recognized the clients from somewhere.
"Bo Bear, you remember Jessica and Dimitri who ran security for the Derrick and Erica case?" Kenzi started.
"Oh yes, pleased to meet you again." Bo said with her bright smile that Tamsin loved.
"Well they need us again and this time for the wedding. All expenses paid to be one of the guests of honor. They have also requested the presence of Tamsin, Kendra and team." Kenzi quickly said toward the end.
Bo knew something was up and both Tamsin and Kendra were crossing their arms across their chests showing that they did not like it. "Kenz, tell me REALLY what's going on."
Jessica saved her the trouble and spoke up. "Bo, my bosses Derrick and Erica have run into a snag with the wedding. What was supposed to be only a couple hundred people at the wedding, turned out to be in the thousands. We need more security that is not aligned with either of our clans or any of the clans that are invited. I humbly ask for you to attend as a guest. Having your presence at the wedding would not only impress everyone, but allow you to meet and greet all the other leaders. In addition, people that plan to cause us harm will think twice before starting a commotion. Derrick and Erica wish to list you publically as one of the guests of honor."
"AND ME. The great awe-smacking awesomeness that everyone says aww over that is Kenzi." She inserted quickly raising her hand.
"So how does Kendra, Tamsin and team fit into all of this" Bo asked expectantly to Jessica but Dimitri spoke.
"There are too many guests to cover with our existing team and even with better and more technology, we need more boots on the ground. We need BOTH the security and reputation that only the 'widow maker' can give. We plan to only announce that Captain Shaw and team will be doing security the day of to further deter any problems which may arise. Don't worry, it will be a slice of pie." Dimitri stated factually.
"Piece of cake Dimitri, Piece of cake." Kenzi corrected.
"That is what I said ya?" He responded.
"Look Bo, Kendra and Tamsin. I was sent here to hire you at whatever cost. We will make do with what we have if we have to, but please" Jessica said pleading with her best puppy dog eyes she could muster "consider this? Bo you helped us start the peace process, we need your help to finish it. Kendra, you are the only team I can trust to fight by our side. If the reflexes which you just demonstrated are reflective of your team, we will be honored to fight alongside you. Tamsin, I have never stopped doing research on you ever since you came to town. You are a strong Valkyrie that does what is right despite having a dark past. You are doing more amazing things now even though you are not a full Valkyrie. We need all of you." Jessica concluded.
Bo saw Kenzi plead with her hands together in a praying motion. "OK. I'm in." Was all Bo needed to say.
"We're not fucking mercenaries. And did you forget that Kendra and team are HUMAN? We clean up our own messes. Also many of the team does not have the gear needed personally. What? Are we gonna flash our badges and when trouble arises say 'STOP!... or I'll say STOP AGAIN!" Tamsin said in a disgruntled and sarcastic tone. She also knew that Bo was a trouble magnet and add in Kendra, trouble was pretty much guaranteed.
Tamsin then realized that something she just said was totally off. She was a bounty hunter and mercenary herself. WAS. But she was referring to herself now after she refused to turn Bo in to Odin. Also Kendra and team kind of grew on her unexpectedly. How things changed after she met the succubus.
Kendra then spoke "We are the LAW. I don't want to cause trouble but trouble seems to find me. So it is better the team and I stand this one out. We are a human team and that might be a liability. Maybe next time." Kendra hated to do this. The choice was really hers, but for the sake of Tamsin who almost got killed on the last op, and Dyson her mentor, she needed to keep her new friends safe.
Jessica stood up then shouted "TROUBLE WILL COME WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! Both our clans know this but are still willing to give it a shot! Tamsin, did you not training these humans to take down 200+ Fae in one day? As Erica told me, that is all I need to know. Also we have all the gear you need so don't give me that cop out of an excuse. Kendra, if you just want take down all the Fae that wronged your team, that's fine. But is that all you fucking do now?! Have you sunk that low where you're just a one trick pony? Dispensing a twisted form of justice where only death and destruction is your end game!? You have a chance to make and be instrumental in peace for both Fae and probably human kind. Also if I'm not mistaken you took an oath when you joined the police force to serve and protect. And I don't see SHIT right now! So get your self centered, high and mighty head out of your …"
"Jessica! I think they heard our case poignantly enough." Dimitri exclaimed when he slapped his hand on her shoulder to get her to sit down. She just sat down defeated and put her hands on her face. He continued and calmly stated as everyone gawked at Jessica. "Let's take a small break, and come back in 15. OK?"
"No I don't need it." Kendra evenly stated "First Jessica, no one ever speaks to me that way EVER. I made Captain for a reason." Kendra then calmly approached the table and then said "Yes you may have me and my team on these conditions."
"And they would be?" Jessica asked curiously.
"I am Dyson Wolfbane's ….. PROPERTY. As much as I hate it, I need to respect his decision. I've caused him way too much trouble in the past week alone to just be that callus or as you say self-centered to bypass him. Second, I may be their Captain, but it ceases when it isn't work related. We all have families. I will present this to them and then they can op in or not. Third, I need Terminator … Ummm …. Tamsin period. No Tamsin, no go. She saved our asses back there on the last op and I'm not going without her. Finally your team better be up to snuff, or I'm pulling my team out. Got it?" Kendra said flatly with as much control as she could muster. What Jessica said really pissed her off and she had a sinking feeling that Jessica may have been right. Dyson was just too nice to tell her that bluntly but he was guiding her while giving her space to find her place which is one quality she respected a lot. Also another thought hit Kendra, why did Jessica just vent on her and not Tamsin? Something set her off and she did not know what.
"OK" Jessica just stated and to that Kendra just walked away then sat back down at her booth immersing herself in her book again.
Kendra needed to think and calm down.
All eyes moved to Tamsin.
"Bo is a trouble magnet. I will go where she needs me. So if she needs me at this boring function, so be it." Tamsin said flippantly and then looked away.
"Tamsin, I need you with me, by my side." Bo said sincerely holding her shoulder.
Tamsin just melted at Bo's simple touch and before she knew it she just said "Fine." in a frustrated tone. "Get ready for the ride, 'cus this is gonna get dirtayyyyy" Tamsin murmured a moment later.
"Great. The wedding is in 2 months, training is on the weekends. We will arrange for the transportation for all of you." Dimitri stated.
Dimitri then lowered his voice and whispered to Jessica "Wow, you sure have a way with words. Good technique to convince Kendra to join us."
"Fuck off." Jessica shot back apparently not happy with her own comments.
