Jane stepped forward and shook Mia's hand, "Mia, I'm Jane Rizzoli, Boston PD."

"Mia Tate, Captain with the hundred… I mean the 39th," Mia stated nothing how firm Jane's handshake was.

"Doctor Maura Isles, medical examiner with the Common Wealth of Massachusetts. Good to meet you in person," Maura smiled warmly.

Jane motioned to the Federal Marshals standing in the back, "I'm sorry for the short notice but when we found out who you really were, you may need to be in to be place in Witness protection as a precaution."

Kendra just cut to the case, "Let's just get to the point so we can go on with our jobs."

"As do we all," Maura clarified.

Jane motioned to the circular table, "Please sit."

Kendra mouthed to Mia, 'If you get uncomfortable at any time, get up and leave. Just take it easy.'

Mia nodded and knew Kendra was putting some of her attorney skills to work.

Mia and Kendra unloaded their respective rifles and set them aside to sit across from Jane and Maura while the Marshals including Vex stayed in the back of the room.

Jane was the first to speak, "As you know, Kendra contacted us to get more information about your birth parents and we, well Maura and team, were able to find paper adoption and related backup material records that were slated for destruction that contained several clues pertaining to you, but got lost in our storage area. In addition we use currently available technology and imported any and all paper records we found."

Maura spoke up, "Running your image through a facial recognition system and matching it to those faces similar to yours in the Boston area pulled up a match, to the Esposito family."

Mia looked at her weird, "I don't hear that name used much in Boston and surrounding regions much anymore."

Jane clarified, "That is because the largest part of that family no longer exists in Boston or anywhere in that area. The Esposito surname was later dropped for other names mostly through marriage."

Mia was sharp, "That doesn't make sense. The Italian people are proud of their heritage and don't swap arbitrarily. Tell me WHY."

Maura took over since this was her story to tell, "The Espositos were a small but extremely influential family. They had ties with all the crime families and never got their hand dirty, but they ensured peace among all. Patty Doyle was over reaching his territory and upsetting the balance. The Mariano Esposito was able to rally all the rival families together to show the Doyles that picking a fight with one meant picking a fight with all."

Maura paused because she still could not believe her father was capable of such horrific cruelty.

Jane then added, "Before the details were formalized, Patty put out a hit on all of the Espositos and killed them all in the same day. That included half relatives. With that show of strength, the fragile alliance was broken and Patty had his way."

Maura finally put forth cutting to the chase, "Your real name Mia is, Maria Alberta Esposito, daughter of Carlo and Beniga Esposito. You were playing at a friend's house when your parents were killed. The Ricci family who you were playing with knew you were in grave danger and immediately tried to hide you, but Patty was persistent and his spies were everywhere. So in a last ditch effort, being a year old dropped you off at a hospital without any identification and never leaving their names. They feared for their lives."

Jane took out her tablet and pulled up an aged video feed which was now enhanced of the transaction and was about to play it.

Maura then added as the video ran, "The person receiving you only got a portion of what they told her and by improving the video quality and analyzing it came up with the following."

Mia closely looked at a desperate and terrorized couple tossing her to a nurse sputtering out several things but was able to read on man's lips and said it out loud at the same time as Maura, "We can't keep her safe. Take her away, far away from here. Please, save her."

Mia's eyes as to well up and told Jane and Maura, "The words in the official records were 'We can't keep her. Take her away.'"

Jane then added, "Paddy and his Cronies could not find you so he began to check orphanages for children that were given up at around the same time as his violent purge, but a clerical error was made. You were put into foster care on January 3rd but the person working the records wrote last year's date accidentally. That error inadvertently saved your life."

Jane gingerly put her hand on Mia's forearm, "Your parents and Ricci family only wanted that very best for you and loved you very much. The Ricci family was close to your family and they offered safe haven to all Espositos but none ever came."

Mia knew about Paddy Doyle at a high level and finally droned out, "Because Paddy is known for being thorough and also getting away with it. So why do I need Federal Marshals if I was ok being Mia Tate?"

There was a long pause and Kendra observed Maura shift uncomfortably. Kendra looked expectantly at Jane and knew she had something else to say.

Kendra then prodded, "Jane?"

Jane finally mentioned, "Maura did research on a closed and sealed case file, in addition to questioning Paddy himself about the purge in general. While your name or true identity was never mentioned, he will wonder why we are looking into it again after so much time has passed."

Kendra finally countered, "You can't get access to Paddy Doyle now unless you engage the patriot act which is a hell of a lot of work for a hunch or are a direct relative… wait"

Mia added it up too looked expectantly at Maura.

Maura meekly mentioned, "Paddy is my estranged father."

Mia got upset and stood up, "I spent my whole life trying to get a place I call home and you blew it Maura! So I need Federal Marshals because of your mess up!"

Jane tried to calm her down and stood up as well, "Maura is one of the best crime scene and forensic analyst I have worked with bar none. She would never knowingly jeopardize a case to Paddy."

Kendra got up as well and knew something was off demanded of both women, "DID you or did you knowingly compromise Mia's situation?"

Jane and Maura but shouted back, "No!"

"OK then, WHY are Federal Marshals here? There must be another reason. Nothing you have said thus far necessitates my client, Mia, to going into Federal custody. Unless there is clean and imminent danger, my client can opt out," Kendra thought quickly on her feet her not realizing that her attorney skills had kicked in.

Jane and Maura knew they were in trouble. Mia had representation by an attorney after all. Even though she wasn't practicing, she could still give legal advice.

Mia then yelled for all to hear, "If I step forward as Maria, I will need it then. Paddy will send someone for me, but he forgets, I'm not a helpless girl. I can…."

Kendra pushed Mia back clapping a hand on Mia's mouth to quiet her and stated to Jane and Maura, "My client and I are done for today. You have not demonstrated the burden of proof you need to hold her."

Jane then asked calmly, "This is a lot to process. Can we reconvene tomorrow, morning just to talk?"

"Send what you have about my client to me electronically encrypted," Kendra requested of Jane.

Jane looked to Mia who was still a little in shock but Mia snapped out of it knowing that Jane needed her approval and then mentioned, "Send it to both of us."

"OK. I can do that," Jane replied. "Call me if you need anything else Mia and Kendra."

It was then Bo walked in and knew this was a serious conversation and asked, "Am I interrupting something?"

Kendra smiled and replied, "No, we were just wrapping up."

Bo smirked and asked, "Can I see you and Mia in the main library?"

Both replied tersely with a "Sure."

Bo then turned her attention to Jane and Maura and strode over to warmly greet them with a hug.

Jane tried to shake Bo's hand but found that Bo hugged her, "Hi Bo. Great to see you again."

"Like wise."

Maura was unsure if she should hug Bo because she might still be hurting from the shot gun blast but was comforted when Bo told her, "I'm FINE Maura. Come here."

Kendra asked Vex, "Can you please escort Jane and Maura out."

Vex nodded, "Sure thing love."

Kendra wondered where Dyson was and looked about.

It seemed that Jane was having a friendly conversation with Bo and Dyson was on the ground kick his leg in the air rapidly at Maura kneeling before him scratching Dyson on his back. Dyson was a sucker for a good pet and back scratch.

"So, how long are you here for?" Bo asked Jane casually.

"Oh until tomorrow," Jane replied formally.

Bo noted she wanted to say something else but following Jane's eyes, they landed on Maura.

Bo got it and when Jane met Bo's eyes again, Jane and Bo both nodded but Jane spoke.

"You want to get a drink or something later?" Jane offered.

Bo had a lot of stuff to deal with but replied, "Sure. Call you later Jane?"

"Sure. So how are things with you Bo?"

"Busy. Problems are just coming to me like through a fire hose."

"Tell me about it. I just got these cases and gosh, my mom says I'm a workaholic since I take my work home. Then I got sick but my mom. She's special," Jane relented.

Maura from the ground pet the wolf on the ground and added, "Oh she'd go to work even if she were dead."

Then Maura recognized this wolf didn't exhibit the tepidness and shyness of other wolves. He was very friendly and seemed to understand her when she asked him to lie on his side.

This wolf breed had to have been domesticated and she began to feel his ribs and bone structure. These traits were different from wolves and even dogs. This dog had more rib bones and stood taller. In addition, this dog was bulkier in terms of muscle mass.

Dyson just kept kicking his leg at the best back scratch ever. Sure Kendra and Mia were great, but this person knew all the places that needed to be itched and was even giving him a wonderful massage. At this point he didn't care if this woman was human.

Kendra just warned Mia taking her aside, "Don't say a word to Jane and Maura! THINK about your decision first. We don't need to give them a reason to take you into custody."

Mia nodded and appreciated Kendra and smiled, "OK Kendra. Thanks."

"No problem."

"Any idea why Bo wants to see us?" Mia asked.

"No idea, but looking at Bo's face, it is probably something big. When is it not?" Kendra exhaled.

"True. Thanks for being there for me Attorney Kendra Shaw."

"Oh god, I have not heard that name used that in a long long time. Hey, I'm here for you, ok?"

"I know," Mia smirked evilly as the image of her stripping Mia in the hall came to mind.

Kendra knew Mia's head went right into the gutter and lightly tapped her face, "Mia, focus."

Mia snapped out of it right as Kendra mouthed to her innocently, 'Lick your fingers if you want to taste me again you naughty girl. I'm the lawyer here, I'm the one that screws people over.'

Mia was hypnotized and licked the tip of her index finger and yes, Kendra tasted great.

Kendra then turned and noted that Dyson was giddy with delight at the back rub but came to the realization that Dyson was unaware of what Maura was really doing in addition. Kendra deduced that Maura was giving Dyson a check up in a way and her curiosity about Dyson could be seen all over her face. Maura then checked Dyson's teeth briefly.

'SHIT. Dyson is a DIRE WOLF not a wolf and hence had a different physiology from all dogs in general!' Kendra noted in horror. Maura was going to ask questions and Dyson had no idea what she was up to.

"Dyson!" Kendra called forcefully but Dyson was lost in nirvana.

Maura didn't even know that was his name but stopped when Kendra walked over to them.

Kendra then whispered to Dyson, "Dammit Dyson! This is DOCTOR Maura Isles and she's giving you a physical."

Kendra pat Dyson and mentioned, "Let's go D-man."

Before she could leave Maura asked, "Is this your dog? He's really handsome."

"Yes he's mine. I'm sorry, I have to go," Kendra and Dyson walked away.

Maura however caught up with them and asked, "What type of breed is he?"

Kendra didn't elaborate as much and said, "I don't know. He is a mutt of some kind. I just never asked."

And that was that as Maura nodded then quickly strode back to her chair like she forgot something and pulled out a small flat box and trotted to Bo and Jane.

Maura butted in front of Jane and Bo in the middle of their conversation, "I'm sorry Bo. I meant to give this to you as a token of appreciation for saving my live."

Bo glowed at the present and opened box top it saying "Thank you Maura. You shouldn't have."

Bo pulled the tissue paper aside to reveal a coachman vest, the same one that was destroyed during the foiled bank robbery.

Maura elaborated, "This has slightly better ballistic properties and resistance to edged weapons than your older one with the same weight. Also the stitching, not to say what Tamsin did was bad, helps this vest to hang a little better off you. Try it on."

Bo hesitated, but Jane then leaned to the left to not be eclipsed by Maura, and wittily said, "YES, PLEASE try it Bo. She's been trying it on me and won't stop raving about it."

Bo had to snicker when Jane put her hands together and begged mouthing 'PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.'

Bo obliged and took off her old vest set it on a chair and put on the new. It fit perfectly and Bo made sure Maura knew.

"I love it. Thank you Maura," Bo purred loving the leather feel and even modeling it for Maura a little.

Jane was still behind Maura and put her hands into the air mouthing, 'Thank you god.'

Tamsin observed the Fringe division, Lauren's team and now the Ash's new security team cleaning things up. They way everything seemed to click made it look like they were one team.

She really didn't want to talk to anyone sitting alone in the corner, but Kenzi saw the Valkyrie moping and decided that misery loves company.

Kenzi then heard Walter say as they put one of the bodies in a bag, "Peter, Olivia and Aspirin… oh and Fauxlivia… or rather Red. Two things. First I.. I have isolated the radioactive isotopes the Druid most likely injected himself to give him the power to set people aflame. It is nearly IDENTICAL to the one ran into before but in higher concentration by 2 fold."

Olivia noted and asked, "Isn't that dose lethal?"

"YES. It is normally, but he also combined it with another more stable isotope which seemed to counteract the effects but in doing so it changed his physiology at the molecular level making it impossible for the reaction to occur again," Walter surmised.

"In plain English?" Liv asked for all of them.

Peter clarified, "It means that Massimo may have survived this ordeal, but he can't do it again."

"So he isn't a danger?" Olivia asked.

Peter answered that, "Judging by what he has done in the past, he'll find another way."

"Won't he need time to recover?" Olivia follow up.

Astrid informed, "Yes. He essentially poisoned himself so the toxin needs to work its way out of his system."

"Best guess with the right regiment of medicine and LSD handy, to cope with the side effects, 3 to 4 months," Walter announced.

Tamsin and Kenzi looked at each other. 3 to 4 months is when the attack on Bo will occur. It was also the time they needed to prepare.

Tamsin cracked her knuckles. She wanted Massimo DEAD and had to find him first. Lucky for Evony she left the site for the Dark Compound or else Tamsin would have more hard questions for her.

It was time to go on a witch hunt Tamsin brooded.

Olivia knew the conversation dropped and asked Walter who was now packing up his gear, "You said 2 things. What was the second?"

Walter thought about it looking up to capture that thought and then proclaimed pointing his index finger to the air, "Ah yes! And my second though was I need some Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream! You know that flavor…. Chubby ummmm chubby primate? What IS that favor, Asimov?"

Astrid closed an equipment case and corrected, "Chunky Monkey."

Lauren, hearing the tail end of the conversations, walked up to them and mentioned, "The freezer in the kitchen here has that exact flavor. It's one of my favorites."

"Ahhh yes!" Walter rubbed his hands together and like the caped crusader mentioned to all, "To the Bat Kitchen son!"

After Walter, Peter and Astrid left, Lauren asked, "So when will be you going back to Boston?"

"Within the hour. I need to get Liv to my boss Colonel Broyles," Olivia formally noted.

"Wow, I feel loved," Liv aloofly stated.

"Can it wait a day? It's already really late. You can stay here since you are temporarily aligned with the Fae," Lauren offered.

Olivia thought about it.

Liv teased, "I still got 2 more days AND I promise to keep my hands off of Peter."

Liv then put her arms around Olivia to get a rise out of her.

Lauren added, "You know Detective Jane Rizzoli and Doctor Maura Isles from BPD are here on a separate unrelated case."

Olivia lit up, "Oh yes. I work with her a lot. We invariable bump into one another professionally. Small city. I guess I could get some updates from her."

"Awww COME ON. Don't be a party pooper!" Liv shook Olivia playfully.

"Are they staying here too and do they know about the existence of your kind?" Olivia asked.

"No they don't b.. but seeing as how we will be all cleaned up within the hour, I guess there is no harm in that either," Lauren concluded.

"OK. Thanks." Olivia nodded.

Lauren turned and left to tell Alex and Drake to arrange accommodations for Fringe and for the BPD.

Liv then lead Olivia away and offered, "Do you want to know some special forces type moves?"

Olivia looked puzzled, "We are both marines, so we should know the same things."

Liv chucked adding impishly, "As they pertain to Peter in the dark."

Olivia got it and nodded leaving the room.

Tamsin just rolled her eyes. More humans to deal with.

Kenzi to put hand on top of Tamsin's to calm her a little.

"Hey Tammers, cograts on the bun in the oven," Kenzi finally stated with a smile looking over to Tamsin.

"You heard huh?" Tamsin leaned back in the chair.

"You yelled it so loudly that Odin and all his Valkyries heard you," Kenzi joked.

"Yea, I guess," Tamsin chuckled.

"Gotta name for her?"

"NOPE, but it will come to me."

Kenzi popped up and sat in her lap offering her services, "The leave it to the Kenzi-nator! So she's part succubus and Valkyrie huh? I told you that you'd have 'succer-ries'!"

Tamsin just want limp and defeat with the small Russian on her lap, "MUST you insist torturing me!"

"Bo said that I'll be her god mother, so *I* get a say and come on. Let's just throw some names around. What does it hurt?" Kenzi tapped Tamsin's hand to get to rise out of her.

"Ugggggg! If you must, but I get final say and NO frikkin adult actress or slutty names!"

"Deal. So let's get started. Dennis will be the last name."

Tamsin growled insulted locking onto Kenzi's eyes, "No her last name will be Jennings. I wear the pants I this relationship so although Bo doesn't have to change last name, I insist my daughter carry mine."

"ooookkkk," Kenzi noted the touchiness, but then approached it a different way. "When in doubt choose the last name which carries more power like the nobility did. So which has more power? Bo DENNIS, the goddess of the new order and your QUEEN, or Tamsin Jennings, missing Valkyrie Extraordinaire?"

"Ugggg FINE. Dennis it is but I may take it back later," Tamsin gave up.

"Ok, now for the first name," Kenzi thought putting her index finger against her mouth.

"Mandy?"

"No, I SAID no slutty or trashy names."

"Marilyn?"

"Trashy! No."

"Brittany?"

"NO! Slutty."

"Tiffany?"

"EVEN SLUTTIER. No!"

"Candace?"

"Gods no!"

Kenzi got exasperated and finally said, "Don't mess with me on this! Just say yes when I get to a name you agree on."

"Okkkkk," Tamsin huffed out a laugh, "But you won't get even close Rumpelstiltskin."

Kenzi then took in a deep breath of air and in let out a barrage of names, "Alright: Brandy, Heather, Channing, Brianna, Amber, Serena, Melody, Dakota, Sierra, Bambi, Crystal, Samantha, Autumn, Ruby, Taylor, Tara, Rylie, Lauren, Charlene, Chantelle, Courtney, Misty, Jenny, Krista, Mindy, Noel, Shelby, Trina, Reba, Cassandra, Nikki, Kelsey, Shawna, Jolene, Urleen, Claudia, Savannah, Casey, Dolly, Kendra, Kylie, Chloe, Devon, Becky?"

Tamsin just shook her head, "We'll be here for a while."

Bo approached them with a smile hearing a host of names bring put forth by Kenzi and asked, "So choosing a name for our baby already?"

Tamsin was still limp and finally groaned out, "Yes. But be thankful that I allowed our daughter to have the last name of Dennis. I am still contemplating whether I can switch it to Jennings."

"Wow," Bo flared her brows, "I am grateful but I DO wear the LEATHER pants in our relationship."

Tamsin raised her head and lazily warned, "Don't test me succubus, you won't be wearing it for long and I don't want to scar Kenzi for life."

Bo chuckled, "You win Tamsin."

She transitioned to a pout, "You wouldn't use your new powers on a helpless succubus would you?"

Tamsin huffed out a laugh knowing she could lie now and stated, "Emmm I might."

In reality Tamsin couldn't do it.

Bo read Tamsin's true intensions though the bond and thought back, 'BAD Valkyrie! How dare you lie to your goddess. I'm hurt.'

Bo did the best frown ever and Tamsin just crumbled and finally apologized aloud dejected, "I'm sorry Bo."

Bo just kissed Tamsin's forehead right as Kenzi hopped off the lap.

'It's ok. You're just being you and you said 'might' which is really subject to interpretation.'

Kenzi just looked away from the kiss and makeup time Bo and Tamsin were having when Jason, AKA Carrot Top walked to her in plain clothes.

Jason just smirked at Bo and Tamsin but addressed Kenzi, "So what's so important that you need me here tonight?"

Bo turned around and took Jason by the arm, "Hi Jason. Thanks for coming. We're all meeting in the main library and I guess we can get started."

Once in the library, Bo ensured that everyone she saw in the premonitions that perished was there. It hurt her to relay this with everyone sitting in a circle.

Tamsin took a seat to Bo's right and Kenzi took a seat to her left.

Before Bo began, Mia and Tamsin relayed their findings about what happened here as it concerned Hale's death.

Kenzi was the most affected but held her anger in with all her might since Bo had a more important message.

Both Tamsin and Kenzi cradled each of Bo's hands to show support. This gave Bo enough to talk to let each person in the circle know what was to happen to them according to fate. She also cleared up that this is what fate wrote and there was still destiny which she was trying to change. As such, she still needed everyone's help.

At the end the silence was so loud and no one wanted to speak.

Tamsin was first and in her usually dark humor mentioned, "I'm fighting to the very end. If you're gonna go, go with a smile."

Kenzi followed, "I stand by my sister from another mother. I lost Hale and I WON'T lose Bo too."

Bo looked down at her feet knowing that Kenzi was committed to keeping her alive even at the expense of her own life.

Lauren and stood up and proclaimed, "I refused to be scared and I'm not scared now. I want Arin to know I died a warrior. Tamsin, will you train me please?"

Tamsin just smirked, "Sure thing doc."

Lauren wasn't finished, "Bo, do you give me your word that you will look after Arin?"

Bo looked up just replied, "Yes, of course."

Lauren then warned, "If I am gone, I want you to also give me your word that if you do play with her heart, you never EVER break it."

Bo hated this and replied, "I won't do that Lauren. Not after Tamsin."

"PROMISE ME Bo," Lauren demanded with wet eyes.

"I promise," Bo said who was stuck. How could she even have a relationship with Arin if she killed Tamsin, her twin sister?

Lauren was finally done sitting back down and turning to wipe some unfallen tears away.

Kendra was in shock. She was deluding herself that maybe the seer was wrong. Not only that, the 69th was ill equipped to handle multi Fae as it was, but a 'SEA' of different types of Fae? They just got lucky with the raid on Los Lobos. They wouldn't stand a chance without better hardware. She had yet to contemplate about the lives of the 69th and how they were there to extract Bo.

Dyson nuzzled his face into Kendra lap.

Kendra knew she also got Dyson killed AGAIN and she filled with regret. It finally nearly overflowed as a couple tears were threatening to fall. She was still holding a stoic face since she tried to never cry in public.

Mia knew exactly what she was thinking and put her hand on Kendra's leg to get her attention, "Hey, we can get all the hardware we need Kendra."

Kendra in a wavy voice tried to laugh but instead croaked, "Where do we steal the funds from?"

Mia then offered, "No stealing. Just do a CONSERVATIVE calendar photo shoot with me and the other ladies of the team."

Kendra although frowning forced a smile and replied, "I…. I'm not calendar material but if Anjali does it, I will."

Mia smiled, "OK."

Jason finally told Kendra bluntly, "Kendra, you have nothing to lose. Desperate times require desperate measures. Also, if I'm not mistaken, if you and Mia were to do a shoot together, that in itself will generate the funds. The water cooler pic of both of you had millions of hits the first day."

Jason then turned to Tamsin, "Kara is in Valhalla now. Can you please ask her to come back to me please?"

Tamsin nodded and thought to Kara, 'Jason wants to see you ASAP.'

'Is he all right?! Is he hurt?' Kara blurted out all worried while working the field with Thor and other Valkyries.

'He's just fine, but Bo's told Jason about Thor's premonition and it correlated to the seers. I think it best for Jason to tell you. We are at the light Fae compound in the 39.'

'OK be there in an hour,' Kara concluded.

"She'll be here soon," Tamsin relayed and Jason said thanks and left to get some fresh air.

Lauren spoke up again, "Where is Arin now?"

Tamsin replied quickly, "She is presently under guard at the chamber of the missing."

"I'd like to spend a little more time with Arin if that is ok with you and Bo," Lauren asked.

Bo nodded followed by Tamsin.

Tamsin then thought out to Kara again, 'Can you pick up Arin in the Chamber of the Missing on your way back?'

'Of course sister.'

"Done," Tamsin stated. "She's hitching a ride with Kara."

"Thanks Tamsin," Lauren smiled. "If you will excuse me, Maura is expecting me."

With that Lauren too left the room.

Kendra a couple seconds later got up and told Bo, "Thank you for being honest with me."

She then turned to Mia, "I need time to think for an hour, ok? We can talk later."

Mia just nodded, "I'm here if you need me."

Kendra left with Dyson quietly.

Mia pulled out her phone and dialed Anjali also walking out of the room nodding to the ladies as she left.

Tamsin then offered to both Bo and Kenzi scrunching her face, "I need a drink. Care to join me?"

"Hellz yea. Ever since you got this human thing going, I was wondering when you'd drink again," Kenzi pulled Tamsin up.

Kenzi then thought of something. "WAIT a SECOND. NOW you want to drink after all this time with a bun in the oven Detective Slamison? SHAME on you! Non alcoholic beer is about as far as you'll go missy," Kenzi scolded.

Bo then said getting up as well, "I hear Kenzi is helping you out with names for our baby."

Tamsin huffed out a laugh doing air quotes, "Helping".

Kenzi then offered, "Tabitha?"

"No way short stack. I said no slutty names," Tamsin growled slightly.

Bo then taunted Tamsin a little more by putting forth, "Jenny Jameston?"

Tamsin rolled her eyes and shook her head not even glorifying that comment.

Bo pouted, ran up and took her Valkyrie's arm, "OK, no adult stage names. But can you promise to train me like a Valkyrie warrior starting tomorrow? Please Tamsin?"

Tamsin was about to say something sarcastic but knew this wasn't the time and just agreed.

Kenzi found it great and Bo and Tamsin were able to get back to their normal banter after the drinks came out.

"That went better than expected," Tamsin mentioned at a round table sipping her 'beer'.

Bo just shook her head in disbelief, "How can you even be flip at a time like this?"

"Hey, what good does worrying do Bo? Might as well have some fun and speaking of, I heard that the Fringe division, BPD, and other guest are spending the night here. Can we say 'succubus on the prowl?'" Tamsin clicked.

"I can't even think about feeding right now," Bo languidly murmured with an eye roll.

"Do you have a course of action?" Tamsin raised a brow in curiosity.

Bo sat up and said more adamantly, "Yes, it's 'Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.'"

Kenzi then interjected, "A quote from Mother Jones! Nice one Bo bo. Sooooo in the mean time, is this place gonna turn into the suck shack tonight?"

Bo finally chuckled, "I don't think so."

"Well you don't want to feed from me any more so what choice do you have left and PLEASE don't say Kenzi or I'll flip my cookies right here," Tamsin made a throw up face.

"Emmmm no. One time at the hospital was enough," Kenzi backed away from Bo. "I love you sis, but not like that."

"Kara will be here right?" Bo mentioned. "I'll just feed from her if I have to."

"ooookkkkk, but I have yet to show you how a real succubus traditionally feeds in the wild," Tamsin smirked mischievously.

Bo just chuckled, "You mean they don't feed the way I do?"

"Puh-lease. A real succubus doesn't do romance, small talk, dress provocatively… they cut to the chase and ambush travelers deep in the woods and sometimes take on small villages in the night. I'll show you," Tamsin clarified.

Bo just shook her head and replied, "What I do now is JUST fine Tammy."

"Can't knock it 'til you try it at LEAST once, especially now that you can't feed from me," Tamsin reinforced.

Kenzi then popped up out of her seat and did a dance with several suggestive moves singing, "You and me and nothin' but mammals so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel!"

Tamsin had to give it to Kenzi, she had moves.

Bo's cheeks felt hot with Kenzi's more overt sexual dance move.

For Kenzi she just wanted to break free and relax. She also knew this was a way she could help Bo lighten up.

Kenzi continued and finally a smile came on Bo's face but then it turned serious all off a sudden looking at someone behind her in the middle of a hip thrust move.

Tamsin held back a snicker as Kenzi turned to see Trick and Dimitri mid hip thrust.

Trick held a weird but serious look on his face trying to figure out what was going on. Dimitri just put a hand over his mouth but from his body movement, he was holding in a laugh.

Kenzi jumped back and tried to look normal leaning on a pillar saying offhanded, "Holy Dance Off Batman! It if isn't the Ash and the cash in a flash!"

Trick just rolled his eyes and stated, "I hope Kenzi that your dance is not on behalf of my coronation. I am the interim Ash by popular vote. If it was all about the cash, I'd just charge insane prices at the Dal. Being the Ash presents new problems that I don't want to deal with."

Dimitri then blurted out in a more pronounced Russian accent, "So is this good time to know where you stash the hash?"

Laugher erupted from all and Kenzi fist bumped Dimitri and they both sat down.

Trick just smiled then pulled out a bottle of Vodka and poured shot for all but he was about to pour for Tamsin when Kenzi divert his bottle away. He just shrugged not knowing why but though it had something to do with the fact she had a human body now.

Tamsin made a sour face and pretended to reach for it like she was parched for a drink.

Trick the quickly proposed a toast, "Hale. The wisest of all Ashes, and a leader, family and friend to all."

Everyone toasted and quickly returned to their respective conversation. The most pressing was to find Massimo.

Fringe had already briefed Trick so he was already up to speed.

Trick finalized, "I'll work with Vex and Evony to find Massimo."

"In the mean time, maybe in addition to Kendra and Mia, we can ask Jane and Olivia to put a BOLO or APB out on Massimo as well to expand our search. It can't hurt." Bo added.

Trick agreed.

"Find him but I want him DEAD. By my own hands is preferable," Kenzi added holding in her distain for the druid.

There was some silence but Kenzi knew she had an ace in the hole glancing at Dimitri who just nodded and said, "Dá, madam." He would obey her since he knew how much Hale meant to her. She also knew he'd engage both his Fae and Russian mafia connections.

Trick finally spoke, "Kenzi, I am the Ash but he belongs to the Dark. Once captured, we, the light and dark, need to negotiate terms to deal with his transgressions."

Bo put her hand on Kenzi's shoulder knowing that killing him may avert the Sea of Fae to some extent, "I'm with you Kenzi. Tamsin is too. I am sure Kendra and Mia won't have a problem with it."

Trick added, "I am bound by the Ash rules of conduct, while all of you aren't. So if you do find Massimo first, I don't want to know what happened."

All nodded in silent understanding.

They then transitioned to lighter topics of discussion but that didn't stop Kenzi from trying to get Trick to give her some more enchanted items to augment her fading powers.

Bo noted how much Kenzi now leaned on Dimitri. She felt bad knowing that Kenzi needed support from others, but at the same time, Bo was dealing with issues of her own.

Bo knew the Dimitri had a soft spot for Kenzi ever since they showed up together on Derrick and Erica's cargo ship. Kenzi however, innately knew this but Hale had already won her heart. Bo respected Dimitri though. He was now exactly what Kenzi needed, which was a good friend.

The Sea of Fae item never came up in the conversation with Trick since Bo told everyone not to involve him.

Kendra just lay on top of a bed in a room beside Dyson and she just spoke her mind stroking his grey fur.

"Shit Dyson. I don't know if I can do this again. I lost a good portion of the 69th not to mention I got you killed," Kendra hugged Dyson hard and wept silently for several minutes.

"I….. I'd try and leave too, but I can't leave Mia alone either," Kendra said aloud and then a tears dropping to the bed, "And…. Crap. I lost her too. That target I was aiming for must have been a high priority for us not to pull back."

Dyson knew Kendra was never this vulnerable but what could he do?

Kendra then added calmly with more tears being soaked up into the covers of the bed, "You didn't shift back yet either by that time so we will never find out the council's decision about me being your life mate…. Crap. Is there ANY good news here?"

There Kendra just wept full of regret for a time and finally glanced at her watch sitting up, "I.. I guess I have to see Mia too, but I need to talk to you Dyson."

Dyson raise his head and cocked it to the side.

"I am your life mate Dyson and I accept it without reservation. Are we still ok with each other even with Mia in the equation?" Kendra finally asked.

Dyson nodded.

Kendra then quickly added, "My heart is always yours D-man and you know that, but Mia… she's … I…"

Kendra was stuck. She knew Dyson was in there somewhere and understood her just fine, but how deeply did he think?

Dyson was patient and put his head on her lap.

Kendra finally just couldn't take it anymore, "I screwed you Dyson initially to use you but I don't want to abuse you anymore. My heart has been all yours for some time and I'm done deceiving you. I do care for Mia and we have a good friends with benefits status now. With the end of the world coming, can I give her everything?"

Dyson looked at her weird. What was everything?

Kendra chuckled knowing that Dyson didn't know since she never told him, "You are the only man I will allow to penetrate me. Even Eric didn't get that chance. The problem is, Mia might even though she's a woman, and I don't know how you feel about that."

Dyson tried his hardest to think this through. He knew that if the end was coming for him, he wanted to be out in the wilderness to enjoy his dire wolf form. In this form, he wanted to hunt, be with his kind or other creatures that did not shun him but that was impossible here. Being cooped up was not for him.

Sure he wanted to stay with Kendra but Kendra had priorities too and they superseded his.

Dyson then mused and fought hard to think. Was it possible to help Kendra, his life mate, in his own way while he was out in the wilderness?

Yes, and he was determined to do so somehow.

Dyson concluded he would still come back to Kendra, his life mate, every now and then but in the time in between, he needed to roam. He just had no way to express it.

Dyson nodded to allow Mia all the way into Kendra's life since she was the closest to her and then licked Kendra's face to show approval.

Then a thought dawned on him.

Kendra was thankful that he understood, but he bolted out of the room all of a sudden.

Kendra ran after him.

Dyson sniffed out Mia and found that Mia was in the hall getting off her phone and he jumped on her in surprise almost knocking her over.

"What the? ….. Dyson?" Mia asked backing up with Dyson sniffing her neck. Mia pushed him off and instead he ran at full speed outside to her truck and jumped on the back door.

Mia and Kendra caught up with him out of breath and Kendra was the first to speak, "Dyson…. What is going on? Mia any idea what he wants?"

Mia just huffed out, "Don't know but it looks like he was looking for something on my neck and now he wants to get into my truck."

Dyson whined and jumped on the back door over and over.

Kendra and pet him to try calm him, "You wanna go somewhere Dyson? We can take mine ok?"

Dyson stubbornly stayed put and kept whining at Mia's truck.

Mia then thought about it and began to put things together. He WAS looking for something on her neck probably around it but it wasn't there now. She wore lots of necklaces but what would Dyson want?

Then she remembered, before she engaged the Aswangs, she tucked her Dire Wolf Shifter Clan pendant and necklace under her body armor as a last resort in case she was surrounded and was about to be killed. This would show that she was the spouse or direct blood descendant of a Dire Wolf Shifter and hence protected under the armistice. Also it was great in case she needed to avoid a fight with Vampires, Aswangs and even other shifters in general.

Why did she have it even though she wasn't blood related? Her God Father, Grizzal gave it to her. It was a stretch but for Grizzal, Mia WAS his blood.

"WAIT, I think I know what he wants. Dyson? Do you want my Dire Wolf Shifter pendant?" Mia asked walking over to pet him.

Dyson barked in agreement and still wanted the door open.

"I got it Dyson," Mia opened the door and rummaged through her glove compartment and showed it to Dyson.

It was a simple string necklace, with some round wooden beads but also had a small wooden pendant in the center of a dire wolf with diamonds in its eyes.

Dyson gingerly took it from Mia into his mouth and then ran back to the door, spinning around and barking at Mia and Kendra to follow him
