Mia had to admire her work. She just took down a Dire Wolf Shifter with thousands of years of experience. Dyson was all hers and he now had nothing to hide splayed out and cuffed the table like an open book. THIS is what Kendra must feel like when she dominates him she mused. It was intoxicating to say the least.
"Awwwww ok. I gotta whole 35 minutes to change your mind, not to mention 2 hours is a minimum using these stones. Tell ya what, I won't touch your staff the first couple times but after that everything is fair game. I bet I can make you sow your royal oats 4 times," Mia smirked all smug like she won already.
"NEVER!" Dyson grunted. "I'm not a mindless dog!"
"We'll see," purred Mia working Dyson's torso with her hand with kisses and nips to go along with it.
After a couple of minutes Kendra was getting hot. She wanted to pleasure herself but resisted. It seemed like Mia, now nude, was rubbing herself and caressing him all over in a specific way and low and behold, without touching his wolf, he crested gurgling in pain and wanton pleasure. Sure he complained and put up a good fight in his mind but Mia had him.
10 minutes later, again Dyson was making a mess all over himself. It was as if it was like some sort of massage Mia was doing to him to which he had no defense against.
Mia then purred amused and triumphantly stated kissing his cheek, "You know Kendra skipped all the books dealing with your kind on LOVE and SEX. Me? I had access to the ENTIRE Dire Wolf archives and those were the first book I read. Kendra learns from Bo. I learn from history."
"Ugggg" Dyson grunted in frustration. All his power zapped and his obstinacy even began melting away.
Mia had no idea why she was enjoying this immensely but putting Dyson in his place was all too tempting. Sure she could do it IRL and that was a maybe, but here, she was god here. Now was the only time she could make an offer he couldn't refuse.
Kendra was conflicted. How DARE she do this to her life mate. She just dominated and cuffed him forcing him into submission. At the same time, it was a guilty pleasure. She liked her LLBFF knocking Dyson down a couple pegs since he wasn't going to give the sandwich his 100 percent.
Now all of a sudden Mia was torturing Dyson was playing with his wolf touching but not stroking it. After seeing heaven 2 times never touching his member, Dyson's wolf wanted attention like no tomorrow. What got Kendra really questioning her allegiances was when Mia pulling out a sharp knife putting it at the base of his wolf telling him not to trust or else he'd get cut.
She had to stop this but too it was too late, Dyson bucked when Mia teased his wolf. While he didn't get cut Mia managed to raze clear a path in Dyson's field.
Mia warned again with Dyson spitting out nonsensical expletives, "I SAID not to buck or else."
Dyson bucked again and again and right as his field was fully trimmed Kendra pumped him hard and he saw stars again. He was sweaty all over but a pool of seed was just collecting and it was getting larger each time.
'THIS has to fucking stop,' Kendra told herself putting a hand over her mouth in bewilderment and awe. She did want to walk over to stop them but found that her own fingers on her mouth here slick with her own juices. She realized that while Mia was doing was really wrong to Dyson, her body was screaming to be satisfied. She had been using 2 fingers this whole time and it became 3 when Mia just said, "Now that you see what I have to offer you both and as well as how much leverage I have on you. Will you allow me freely to stay?"
Dyson didn't know. Have Mia loyal to them would allow him better access and pull on the clan. Also Mia turned out to be a seductress of Dire Wolves all by herself. Sure Bo was that good since she was a succubus, but Mia knew specifics to his species which put them on even ground. Did he want to shag her? Sure, but a threesomes normally didn't work out from experience.
Mia just stroked him again and jeered, "Hey Dyson, you can't ask us to clear cut our fields it you aren't willing to do it but now that is clear cut…."
Kendra noted that Mia technique was a blur working on his wolf and in no time he grunted and yelped in pain. His seed was now dripping on the table with Kendra muffling a yell cresting high at the depravity of the situation. She was just sitting on the floor now spent and that was just one time for Kendra.
Mia switched massage techniques once again and pouted, "Can I stick around and I promise to keep you 2 together no matter what? Just treat me as your equal?"
Dyson finally groaned out, "Yeeeessss. You can stay Mia, but but…. It may end badly…."
Mia replied, "Anything of great reward requires risk." Mia noted Dyson wolf respond yet again. In the normal world, this would be physically impossible, but here? It was. She was also on the 2 hour mark but threw caution to the wind. "Oh Dyson? Again?"
"No… no please… spent," Dyson pleaded out of breath.
"Awwwwww it's not what Mr. happy says," Mia teased his wolf. "Hey let's go extra innings shall we?"
"No… Please," Dyson replied again sincerely asking for this torture to stop.
Mia, feeling guilty now blinked and all of Dyson's restraints came undone. How she loved this control. She pulled him up and she assisted him to the couch and sat him down. She got him some water and a towel to clean up.
Dyson just guzzled the water as if parched from the desert crossing the towel aside for now.
Mia bit her lip feeling a little guilty but played with his wolf to tease him. Dyson was going to gently pull her hand off until Mia warned him with her eyes that she could own him again. He thought it best to go limp giving up, "OK Mia. You can stay and I will do my best to keep both of you happy."
"And I will do so as well and if it doesn't work out even with all of us trying our hardest, I give you my word that I will be the one to go. Hey at least we gave this threesome our all right?"
"Yea," Dyson nodded resting his head on the back of the couch thoroughly exhausted. "Ohhhhhh yea." Dyson grunted with Mia working his member gently and kissing him deeply.
The deal was sealed with a gentle caresses and a kiss. This type of kiss was reserved for Kendra but given everything he to do to hold the 3 of them together, it needed that.
Mia melted and felt loved. Dyson was kissing and gently caressing her body lovingly and that was good. She had a part of Dyson now.
"Dyson. I'm really really sorry for binding you. You can bind me from now on if you wish," Mia stated knowing full well she probably went overboard with him. She was glad Kennie wasn't there to witness this.
Dyson was so wiped that he just spoke with his eyes closed slumped into the couch, "Kendra does it to me all the time, but we trade. Can we take turns and maybe later we can just all be equals?" Dyson just waved it off.
"I'd like that," Mia cooed pecking him on the cheek.
Dyson finally surrendered everything to Mia. He hoped and prayed that Kendra was ok with this since it was Kendra's suggestion after all.
Mia stopped playing with Dyson's wolf and after several more minutes Dyson closed his eyes to recover and drifted off to a deep slumber.
Kendra saw and heard all this but like a cat walked over stood in front of both of them hand on her hips. Mia was the only one up and she had the guiltiest expression ever.
Mia was a little surprised. How much did Kendra see? If she did see it all, she could have serious issues with her getting Dyson's compliance. She also seems a little ticked. 'OH SHIT. I went too far..'
Kendra just mouthed so that Dyson wouldn't be tipped off to her presence, 'Yes, I was here in hiding since you crested IRL. You never EVER dominate my life mate like that to get compliance through blackmail. You can dominate him, but when it deals with us… ALL of us, just don't force him to comply against his wished.
Mia bit her lower lip and looked down. She was so busted and hoped that she didn't blow it until gingerly brought her chin up and mouthed with a cheery expression.
'BUT in this instance, I am ok with it.'
Mia nodded and was relieved the Kendra didn't smack her senseless, but was quite embarrassed that Dyson's seed was still coating his chest and his field was razed.
Kendra like a cat walked up to Mia, and fisted her hair back and bent down to kiss her.
Mia yelped but her lips were on Kendra's so it was muffled. Kendra then broke and mouthed to Mia pointing to Dyson's chest, 'Is that all for me?'
Mia nodded meekly.
'Nice clearing in the field. By the way, I know why you made D-man crest that many times. You wanted dominate him to show him who's boss but also like a naughty girl, you want me all to yourself. You WANTED me to discover him this way and make him so tired a threesome here wouldn't occur. You'd have me all to yourself,' Kendra mouthed back to make sure even it Dyson was up, he didn't hear it.
Mia's jaw dropped and she felt so ashamed. Kendra knew something that she couldn't express herself in words and she was dead on. She looked away even with her hair being fisted.
'BINGO,' Kendra mused but let Mia's hair go straddling her stealthily so Dyson didn't wake. 'Mia, I'm flattered. A little contest for my attention is ok, but we SHARE ok? If you just bang D-man all the time so that he can't perform, you'd amount to a cock blocker.'
Mia nodded digesting this.
Kendra bent down and kissed Dyson on his seed laden stomach carefully not to wake him and then guided Mia into a deep French kiss. Her tongue slithered past Mia lips.
Mia tasted his salt enfolded in Kendra's embrace captured in a kiss.
Kendra then whispered, "Share."
Mia agreed and replied back, "Yes Kennie, I'm sorry. Share."
Kendra rewarded Mia by stripping out of her hiking gear.
The Captain then picked up more of his seed with her finger and played with Mia folds.
Mia was more and happy to allow Kendra's entrance into her temple.
Mia did the same moves in Kendra.
They shared until Dyson woke up to Mia and Kendra stifling moans and yelps of pleasure. He had no idea when Kendra got there, but without even a second thought joined them.
There the 3 agreed to share EVERTHING and if all else fails, the original plan would still kick in but in the mean time the 3 were one.
With the time they had left which was essentially a bonus, they laid Dyson back in the couch to recover more but Kendra and Mia mounted Dyson in a triangle formation. There each had the opportunity to please each other unselfishly.
They knew they were one when each peaked around the same time with Dyson last.
As if by design, they all woke up simultaneously which meant that the effects of the Concord Stones had all but worn off.
They took a moment to reorient and catch their breath. It was all too real.
Kendra who was sitting at the desk slumped over suddenly grabbed Dyson and kissed his snout saying, "I need to take Mia my love, and I need to do this now. Is that ok?"
Dyson quickly nodded since cresting in the ethereal plane didn't satisfy one's needs in the real world. Also he was fracking worked up and needed to crest but what Kendra said next surprised him.
"Dyson, if you need Thalia, who I assume is another Dire Wolf shifter, to release your tension brought on by myself or even Mia, in your current state, I will allow it. There is no need to ask for forgiveness. PLEASE, when you shift back, I expect you to be loyal to our relationship. OK?" Kendra hugged her fluffy wolf tightly with Dyson doing a soft bark for 'yes'.
Kendra parted the hug and turned to her LLBFF, "Mia, please don't blackmail Dyson ok? Not now, not ever."
"I was only kidding…" Mia stammered with a sulk.
"Just don't do it. We need to build trust regardless of circumstance because in not doing so that may.. . well … WILL go against the 100 percent trust we need to get all of us to work together," Kendra patted Dyson said seriously addressing Mia. "I want you to stay if you wish. You understand this is for YOU and not just us."
"Yes, I promise," Mia nodded kissing Kendra on the cheek then neck. She then kissed Dyson on the snout to which he nuzzled her back.
All 3 were now an item; romantically interconnected with one another but more importantly, committed to one another.
After a group hug, Kendra then let Dyson out who was jumping up and down at the door with the agreement that he'd come back in the AM.
Bo rolled with Tamsin on the gym floor in the late afternoon along with the 69th. Some were standing up fighting some were on the ground. In this drill, the sparing partners could choose which type of fight they wanted.
Bo knew she was better at stand up fighting and Tamsin made sure to push her limits. Also Tamsin, in the absence of Kendra or Mia always professed parroted their mantras which was to best your opponent at what you are good at, not what they are good at. For Tamsin, this was commonsense, but just in case it helped.
Tamsin lightly bopped Bo in the head to get the choke. Bo was getting better and better and blocked it. She also yelled to Mike, "Get better position on top Hump Day. Crocodile! Crocodile."
She also told Skipper, "Get in range where his kicks are useless!"
Bo was doing an escape move and Tamsin just advised her, "Bo, STOP doing BJJ. This is MMA, you can hit to convince me to let you go."
"Ugggggg" Bo grunted trying to power through being stubborn.
Tamsin just held her in place even stronger to prove a point. Her lover was still impressive but as each day passed, it became even more so if that was possible. It was a miracle how Bo kept adapting and growing.
Bo noted that Tamsin was a fighter AND a lover. It was a given that she was an experienced fighter, but a great lover was unheard of for a Valkyrie. Tamsin would joke that it was her human side or fallen status that allowed her to love, but no, it was all Tamsin. The war hardened Valkyrie with a heart made of stone had a softest heart on the inside but walls of think impregnable stone protected it since it was a weakness to her or so it seemed. Bo was beyond flattered and honored that she had all of it.
After some powering though, she knew she was getting nowhere with Tamsin on her back head tucked into it firmly. Bo tried to execute some elbows to her head and body without success. Tamsin was just too good on the ground and essentially turtle shelled her.
Bo finally rolled on top of Tamsin and had enough space to turn her body to face her.
Tamsin stopped her dead midway between the turn.
Bo knew some light hits were coming so she snaked a hand up Tamsin looser shorts leg and pull the crotch of her panties underneath her shorts aside.
Tamsin HATED it when Bo didn't use her wiles, not even her succubus powers but Bo was creative. Tamsin tried to escape, but now Bo held her too. Bo also planted her face into Tamsin chest to prevent from getting hit and not only that Bo's tongue and teeth began pulling her tips through the fabric of her sports top.
From a by standers point of view, they struggled like they were in a ground fight but it was anything but.
Bo just purred, "Yes Tammy, this is MMA which mean no HOLES barred."
Tamsin held her breath so she didn't scream and the wave off pleasure slammed into her so hard she almost let Bo do anything she wanted.
Bo was savvy and change positions in a flash with Tamsin still cresting and as such still bucking her hips to squeeze out the rest. By the time Tamsin knew it, she found she was dead n the water in a choke.
Bo in a sultry voice from behind Tamsin said, "Naked choke anyone?"
Tamsin tapped out in defeat. Bo was really good now but Bo didn't let go. Tamsin warned, "Boooooooo what are you doing?"
"I want a NAKED choke. So I got the choke but…."
Tamsin just shook her head and relayed huffing out a laugh, "Bo, a naked choke simply means that it's a choke that was totally undefended. So you have it already now. Now get your mind out of the gutter slut."
Bo pouted and knew Tamsin could see her since they both ended up facing a mirror.
"I could command you, but don't you want to keep me happy?" Bo pouted more.
Tamsin grunted, "You're EVIL. NOT here."
"Yes here. Just a flash? For me? Pllllease?" Bo did her puppy dog look.
"UGGGG! Fine but you will PAY dearly succu-tits," Tamsin was about to find the right time to do it when Bo just said, "I command you to pull up your sports bra and show me your goods and split those legs apart so I can see your temple."
Tamsin grunted resisting but knew it was only a matter of time before she complied.
"OK Sorry, belay that command. Do it for me since you're such a masterful seductress? You did SCHOOL the all powerful me right?" Bo stroked her ego then let her go.
Tamsin felt better but gushed at Bo complimenting her and as such she no longer cared if anyone was watching them if at all since the 69th were all sparring mid round.
The Valkyrie purred and turned to face Bo extremely flattered and flashed her goods covering them quickly back up then told everyone to trade partner and go another round.
Bo's jaw went slack when Tamsin led her to the side of the bleachers in the gym out of sight and performed a strip teased for Bo.
Bo knew Tamsin was never an exhibitionist but Tamsin had moves and she need to feed now even though she wasn't hungry.
For the first time, Tamsin was nude dancing in front of a fully clothed succubus in sports gear since it was normally the reverse.
Tamsin finally ended her tease allowing Bo to snack.
Bo wanted to sack Tamsin NOW, but Tamsin had a job to do getting dressed once more and issuing another round of workouts. She knew that Mia left to tag up with Kendra earlier in the day and they were probably catching up…. In bed.
Bo came back to the mat and just acted like nothing happened so no one was the wiser, but she was immensely satisfied though floating on cloud 9.
After Dyson left, Kendra just smirked at Mia who like a cat sprawled across the bed, her simmering stare of desire calling out to her lover.
Kendra sat down at the edge of the bed and like a snake, Mia encircled her to give her a shoulder rub.
After a couple minutes Mia's first question was, "So Kennie, did you enjoy the show? REMEMBER, I'm equivalent to Dyson. No dodging."
"Yes. It was … was … HOT Mia. As much as I didn't want to see D-man forced into compliance and bound against his will….. I kind of liked it."
"How much did you like it?" Mia continued pushing Kendra harder.
Kendra turned to kiss her and said, "I came like a slut just watching the both of you."
Mia just nodded and didn't say much more. Kennie was holding up her end of the bargain after all. She no longer held anything back.
Kendra was the first to say, "Yes Mia."
Mia cocked her head to the side since she didn't ask a question. "Yes to what?"
"You asked me a question right after Grizzal and Jessica left," Kendra smirked.
'Oh. I get to drive now,' Mia realized but stammered, "Remember when you claimed… well me in front of Dyson and you said I was yours? I was… emmm afraid I'd dominate you?"
"Yea?" Kendra just stroked her cheek.
"Can I?"
Kendra pinned Mia to the bed forcefully and just growled, "All that I have is now yours too so, fuck yea. But like Dyson, you have to earn it bitch."
Mia laughed and quickly escaped. Kendra did have some surprises but in the end, Mia came out on top literally and sacked her lover with everything she had.
Kendra allowed her to go all the way with her giving up total control to Mia and she enjoyed it riding the waves of lascivious pleasures that followed.
Mia now had full access to Kendra's beautifully strong heart and she felt lucky to get what Dyson has.
The Captain hoped that the universe was ok with this odd pairing but for some reason, it just felt right.
Kara quickly strode to Chamber of the missing to find Sigun there inspecting the grounds outside.
This took some getting used to since all the guards there, even knowing her personally, genuflected before her. Kara could tell how uneasy she seemed with her new role as Thor's soon to be queen. She had the status of Tamsin in many respects except that Tamsin was first in line as Bo's queen.
Sigun, Kara noted, may not have officially announced her status as queen and nor were they married, but by Thor allowing that patrol to witness the start of their official romantic relationship, it was essentially gospel. All she knew was that Valkyries were either jealous that they were summarily bumped out of the running by a freaking wild card, or were happy for Sigun. Yet ANOTHER Valkyrie was elevated to power which broke the stereotype that they were just servants.
Also Sigun had yet to let Thor into her temple, from what Kara knew and she knew a lot. Sigun wanted them to grow together first and Thor agreed. Kara thought it was prudent since this was only the rest of their lives together. It was still extremely slow for Kars's taste, but to each their own. Lucky for Thor, Sigun did work his hammer other ways which allowed him release.
Kara approached Sigun and offered over the link, 'Sigun, do you need me to genuflect. I mean .. since you have a loyal following here.'
'No we are equals you and I. So why are you doing it?'
Kara was surprised herself, since she just did it automatically anyway. She dusted herself off and then said aloud to recover, "Hail Caesar."
"Har har," Sigun mocked but several Valkyries in ear shot snickered.
Kara and Sigun strolled together into the Chamber of the Missing but Kara wavered briefly before entering since she wasn't there to see Tamsin or Bo. Also the last time she was there, her sisters wanted to behead her.
Sigun noted this and said, "Kara, your transgressions have been forgiven to an extent by your deeds in this life alone. Some … Many … may still have a beef with you but nothing that warrants you to forfeit your last life. Also Arin is the only one that has that right now."
Kara blew her red bangs out of her face said like it was a dumb question, "Of course. So why did you call me here? Are to taking bets on who moves to which order via the trails starting tomorrow?"
"Not quite, " Sigun smirked entering into the small, but well decorated dining area. "Please take a seat."
Kara was never in this room before. It was something else. Other Valkyries decorated it eons ago and it was not only dripping in silver and gold, but it had non perishable staples even mead. Kara did have to smirk at new addition of Vodka to the stash. As a matter of fact one was at the table she sat at. She was tempted to open it but stopped. There was a REASON why she was here without Bo or Tamsin in addition to the fact that this was a living sanctuary were, to others, the spirit of Tamsin resided.
Sigun pulled a flask out off her boot and offered it to Kara which she accepted and poured into two ornate crystal goblets on front of them.
Kara cut to the chase and said with respect since Sigun was kind of a defacto queen, "Now that we are alone, shall we get to the point of this meeting? Thor and I have to leave in a couple hours for a quick run and be back before the gates shut down."
Sigun said, "After your campaign with Thor today, I need you to go to the Earthly plane while Thor comes back here. I need you to stay there until the gates reopen."
Kara laughed, "And miss all the action during the trials? I love upsets and I make lots of great side bets. By the time the gates open again in 30 or so earth days, all will be over. If there's a place I wanna be stuck here, it's home."
Sigun just said flatly, "Bo and Tamsin need you."
"No they don't. First I am under Thor's authority and second they didn't request it. So what is so important about this mission that Bo, Tamsin, Thor or Odin have not filled me in on?" Kara drilled.
Sigun then said, "Thor thought it best to come from a sister."
"Oooookkkkkkk" Kara twirled her bangs unsure.
"Bo and Tamsin haven't been talking to you since you ARE more aligned with Thor now. But I need you to stick around Earth side in case the premonitions come true," Sigun noted. "Valhalla has begun to stabilize thanks to your insight so you don't need to collect souls, although you can, but I have a bad feeling that a perfect storm is forming. Bo and Tamsin, even Arin, will be totally isolated from communications to Valhalla. In addition the few Valkyries that will be on other planes including Earth will be almost nil," Sigun began.
It was true, Kara mused. Because of the way the planes aligned during that time in the solar system, travel was impossible through standard gates in addition to a communications blackout. Only Freya and Odin could communicate back, but even then, they would be hard pressed to find a way back. It was just safer to baton down the hatches and rough it out. That was the main reason why the trials were created. Most, of not all Valkyries were back and to pass the time, why not make a game like the Olympics to test everyone's prowess?
Sigun then stated, "I am ASKING you to stick around Bo and Tamsin until the gates reopen."
Kara lamented gulping the entire drink then opening 'Tamsin's' bottle of vodka and pouring herself another drink. This had massive ramifications Kara noted to which Sigun gently held her forearm and clarified, "Fate has already ruled that you survive, so there should be no fear that your last life is forfeit. You can still join Thor's party later."
Kara gulped her drink and locked onto Sigun, "It's NOT my life I am worried about. If fate is right, if I don't go earth side, fate won't execute."
Sigun then reminded Kara although she hated to do this, "FATE will come true regardless. You know you have to get Jason's soul within a couple hours of him falling or else he will fade into nothingness."
The red head was a little upset and replied, "AGAIN. If I me NOT there, Fate can't execute."
"Are you sure?"
"YEA! Of course I am. Bo told me every detail about her premonition of me mourning Jason's loss in the morgue. So it means that I was there and I got his soul to bring to Valhalla."
"Did you?"
Kara just got up and pointed accusingly at her, "YES! I had Odin replay that vision for me! This was fresh after the firefight!"
Sigun pressed, "I saw that vision too. I was in the same room with you as one of Odin's guards."
Kara couldn't believe it. Sigun disguised herself as a guard, helmet, spear, black sash and all. She KNEW something was wrong then but ignored it.
The red head was incensed and shouted, "How DARE you! It's MY part of fate and you have NOTHING to do with it!"
Kara was about to storm out when Sigun stood up and said, "You seem to so sure that you got his soul to transport to the hall; then WHY where you crying in the vision!"
Kara didn't know why. One moment she was composed and the next moment she was balling her eyes out. She NEVER cried. That was a good question but Kara REFUSED to address it.
Would she address it?
No.
Kara stormed out to the court yard and Sigun followed close, "Don't you RUN from me Kara!"
The red head twirled about and in distain spat back, "You have NO fucking power over me your highness! Why don't you just give up now and get Thor to issue me that edict!"
Sigun demurred.
"THAT'S RIGHT! You can't because the SISTERHOOD is asking! Now the fracking sisterhood wants me to go on a mission that I WILL NOT do!" Kara announced for all to hear. "I can LIVE with your discontent with me. REMEMBER, I am Kara the back stabber!"
Sigun just volleyed back, "WAS! You WHERE THAT but VALHALLA, Your goddess SAVED your life. You knelt down for both Her and Bo! You are bound by the OLD CODE and you are the only other person that can protect Bo, Tamsin, and Arin."
"Then SEND someone else! Maybe a couple Valkyries," Kara demanded.
"And risk Jason's soul not getting into the hall? You could have just been mourning his loss in the vision, but could you live with yourself if you weren't there for him? You traded you rebirth rights for him to go to the hall after all, don't make that sacrifice in vain," Sigun put forth calmly.
"FUCK YOU! Fuck you all!" Kara yelled. "You just think you know everything but I've been able to outsmart all of you and I can even out smart FATE! This is pointless!"
Kara got on her horse but Sigun then sternly ordered, "You know your path now WALK IT! Not for the old code, not for Bo, not even for the sisterhood. Do it for Jason, your bonded partner and lover. Fight for him."
Kara screamed turning her horse around to face all of them down, "THEN WHY WAS I STILL ALIVE after the attack! You tell me! If I was fighting by their side, people I care about, even Jason. WHY did I survive! WHY! I failed everyone and yet you want to send ME. Go ahead, send a scape goat. Jason was killed and I wasn't there and when I'd gladly trade places with him! …."
The red head hesitated since she was never big on love. As a matter of fact, she was running away from it but it kept catching up with her. Kara threw caution to the wind and decreed to all pointing to Sigun, "You think you know LOVE? You have yet to begin to know its burden. You know LOVE when you feel fracking GUILTY for failing miserably and then living to see the aftermath."
This took everyone for a loop. First and foremost, Kara cared, even thought she tried not to.
Sigun noted Kara was suffering from 'survivor syndrome' where people who lived through traumatic events when others they cared about did not. It was similar to PTSD. These events had yet to occur but Kara KNEW fate was fate but was delaying it as much as possible in her own way.
Sigun resigned to let Kara go. Kara's mind was made up but quoted Arin, "Smooth sailing doesn't make good sailors."
"And ALL sailors, good and bad, die in the rough seas….."
"You don't die, FATE has a greater path for you still after all this."
Kara slumped over and confessed but only mumbled to herself, "It may not be better. I don't know if I can take living this last life at this rate."
Sigun concluded before walking away, "Take what you need from the chamber of the missing."
Kara didn't need anything heading straight for the nearest portal to earth, telling Thor to go without her. She passed the Hall and as usual, they were weary and ready for her but oddly Hildr waved to her. She was wishing her luck and boy did she need it.
Kara found her way back into Jason's arms, surprising Tamsin and Bo as the workout was winding down for the day. She practiced BJJ with Jason on the mat as the portals to Valhalla shut down along with it all universal communication via the link. Now she could only talk to Valkyries within a limited distance earth side. That meant she could only talk to Arin, Bo, and Tamsin for the next month.
She HATED feeling alone without the security blanket of the lull of all the Valkyrie whispers in her mind, but at least she was with Jason right now. She still had no idea how Tamsin managed to stay sane when she first became fallen.
A sense of ominous foreboding then shrouded the area. She felt the harbinger of death arrive and was watching all of them. Before she could say anything to Tamsin, it was Tamsin who told her via the link, 'Thanks Kara for taking a stand with all of us.' Tamsin knew what fate had in store for them and it was just around the corner.
Bo brought Tamsin home and cooked dinner and they watched 300 with Kenzi. Tamsin relished the action and bloodshed while Bo gravitated more to the Spartans and their outfits or lack thereof. Kenzi was in the middle enjoying both. There was something in the movie for everyone.
Kara finally stepped into Jason's home for the first time and made a b-line to the master bed room. She never went into someone's house because she was no one's possession. That and she never wanted to be attached. She claimed the bed first and who was Jason to argue? Kara was actually touched that Jason had a flower on the bed for her knowing that she'd someday come home with him. They ended up spending every night together thereafter doing things like tomorrow would never come to fruition. For Kara, as much as she didn't want to, LOVE was changing her radically in small tiny steps; she didn't want to be with anyone else and Jason felt the same way.
Did either Kara or Jason have the guts to say the 3 words to show universal oneness?
NO, because the language of love was unspoken, understood, but still roared like a lion.
Jason, finally wanted to settle down. He was gun shy of close and personal relationships but Kara was different. While all his other girlfriends imposed rules on him, Kara never did. Initially, he thought Kara didn't really care about him but she did. He grew to love her since she broke everything that a normal relationship stood for and everything was up for negotiation. It also helped that Kara had more demons in her closet than Tamsin so things that were considered the norm and self explanatory weren't, so reforging the what was the new normal from nothing was quite liberating. Did he mind her past? No, because she paid no heed to his.
Before he came into Kendra'a unit he was a street thug with smarts in prison for life. He was the best at what he did, collecting debts for his bosses. He killed more people then he could remember but avoided the death sentence by ratting out his contacts much to Kendra's disappointment since she was one of the prosecutors. Kendra wanted him dead, period. In prison, he quickly became the king and ran a small time racket of his own, but the ballsy lawyer Kendra Shaw visited him from time to time and found that although his didn't have much more information about the drug cartels, he knew where to look and how they operated even with a modicum of information.
Later Kendra did offer him a consultant position at her firm part time from jail but he turned it down. He was never the one for laws and was NOT a snitch. He also was living the easy life in prison since he was top dog. That all changed when the now Sergeant Kendra Shaw visited him years later and asked him to come on board as one of them, not as a consultant, or police officer, but SWAT.
He was going to turn her down still since a cop he was not. Sure he would have freedom and get to hold a gun again, but something stopped him.
It was her eyes.
THIS Kendra Shaw was different. Gone was almost all traces the idealistic woman he knew. Kendra use to BELIEVE in the system like a religious zealot. Sure she still showed it externally but deep down she was JUST LIKE HIM, a blood thirsty KILLER. It seemed that the system had egregiously failed her and wanted to give it the middle finger. She wanted REVENGE by ANY AND ALL means possible and wanted them to PAY. And oddly, he specialized in COLLECTING and WAS the 'muscle' she may lack. She was also willing to stretch the rules for him by the blatant fact she'd asked her boss Captain Eric Davis to put a badge in his hand of all people. He suspected that Kendra was REALLY close to Eric to do that.
Jason found that he would be able to 'collect' and still bust some caps with KENDRA as his 'real' boss, all behind a badge. Getting paid a stable paycheck was a bonus.
PERFECT.
As such, he accepted and never looked back. Carrot Top WAS his street name, but also became his moniker too. Did the team like him at first? No, but like Kara, he could care less but one thing was for sure, he had their backs and delivered when shells started hitting the ground.
Sigun took Kara's place on that last short mission even though Thor forbid it before the portals closed. Kara was right. She'd feel guilty too if Thor didn't come back or was stranded because his party was one person short and missed their window to return. She did at least get to meet Tiffany, soon to be queen of the Frost Giants, in passing. To say the meeting was awkward was an understatement. They both sized each other up and might have brawled but Thor quelled them both to make sure that diplomacy held. It still didn't stop them from sparring with words. It seemed that Tiffany was still reeling from the pain of Thor dumping her nearly a decade previous.
Thor knew that Sigun researched the Frost Giants and Tiffany specifically in excruciating detail in case they did run into each other. Who would win in an all out one on one fight?
It would be somewhat close, but Freya was right. Tiffany even with her powers was no match for Sigun. She was more on the frail side and couldn't take the hard hits. Sigun? She was a warrior that belonged in Odin ranks eons ago and was more dangerous than what most people gave her credit for. Her Order within Freya's ranks was deceiving since she always requested to stay back after the trials. She didn't have an order now, but still, that was the measure of one's fighting prowess. Many of times he heard stories of Sigun taking down other Valkyries in Odin's order with ease in addition to foes in other planes. It was unwise to underestimate her.
Mia and Kendra turned in early, lovers at last but nothing prevented Dyson from joining them in the early AM even before the sun rose.
Mia ended up giving Dyson a bath while Kendra slept in.
Dyson appreciated that Mia was now doing everything Kendra, his life mate would do in terms of grooming. After the shower and getting dried up, Dyson proudly sandwiched between the 2 of them being kissed from both sides before they all caught up with more rest. This was a guilty pleasure for Dyson because right now he had 2 women committed to him.
Kendra kissed Dyson and snuggled up to her warm clean fluffy Dire Wolf sans clothing. Bo said she was good at managing a polygamous relationship, well now was the true test. Kendra had to laugh to herself when she saw Mia, on the other side of Dyson rub her breasts all over his chest as he made himself comfortable paws in the air. Dyson LIKED it and it showed.
Kendra warned mouthing silently to Mia, 'Working him up again so that he leaves? I think I came enough today ok?'
Mia signed a halo on her head and clapped her hands together in faux prayer making an angelic innocent face. She then said in a whisper pretending to be offended, 'NEVER.'
She rubbed herself on Dyson more and he whimpered when Mia's tips brushed past his snout. Mia acted like she was just trying to get a more comfortable position.
Kendra chuckled then shook her head and let them be closing her eyes. Dyson and Mia had to find an equilibrium of some kind. It was up to them to work it out as she could only guide.
Oddly Kendra found another option for Mia but never dug into it, she remembered before drifting off. She recalled that in parsing her pictures from the fringe universe, that Liv from there noted in the metadata contained in several pictures that Major Mia Tate had a thing for a professional lawyer acquaintance of Kennie's. That never took off for some reason.
So this added to the list of options to the present situation. One, Mia would leave and be alone since the sandwich failed, the other would be, the three of them live happily ever after and the last would be Mia left under her own power since she found her true love with that lawyer.
INTERESTING. Kendra knew she needed to do more research in the coming days.
Mia, before she drifted off to sleep as well used her feet to stroke Kendra's toned legs under the sheets. Sure Kendra was fast asleep, but she felt a lot better the she was on equal ground with Dyson. She just had to relish that feeling since she now felt somewhat complete.
** Several Days later.**
Kenzi and Bo entered a small hole in the wall diner after a recently completed and successful raid with the 57th and they were hungry.
With Mia's now extended reach as a Commander, meant that the 69th was being spread thin since they were tasked with leading the raids in addition to now being embedded into those local SWAT teams temporarily. As a matter of fact, Tamsin, Mia and Kendra were meeting at a nearby police firing range post op. They just completed leading their individual ops as well. Kendra just came back in time for one. Everyone was tired since Mia could only hold the position of commander for a couple months since it was a temporary duty assignment. As such, she worked everyone to their limit. And the drug cartels feared her, small and large.
The small Russian and the buxom brunette turned several heads upon entering since they were still in full gear and had more hardware than most people were used to seeing in that city. That and Bo was known to be the lead onsite concerning the raids at the 57th. Bo was quite intimidating and that was atypical for a succubus. How did she learn to become this?
Tamsin, the uncompromising no nonsense Valkyrie.
Bo was so laser focus on finding and maybe killing Massimo that nothing else mattered. Also with succubus being able to feed from Tamsin and top up for days, she didn't need to feed in the field. She could, but she didn't want to.
Kenzi and Bo needed a quick bite to eat before the 30 or so minute ride to the range to meet up with everyone else. Bo was in a pants suit but had stowed her Dragonov in the truck along with Kenzi's AR, Stalingrad. She still had her Red/Green Glock from Tamsin and was holstered low on her right thigh with destiny on her left. In addition, she donned on the leather jacket the Maura gave her with was light body armor even though it didn't match her suit. Tamsin insisted she wear it when she wasn't on a raid. Bo obeyed but also made sure to tease Tamsin with in on and nothing else at home.
Kenzi had her new body armor on compliments of Mia's calendar drive. She had a Dimitri's spare MP-443 Grach on her thigh including several spare magazines and also mounted low on her back, a Makarov pistol as a backup. She would be distinctly Russian since even her name etched on her body armor was in the Russian if it wasn't' for the mute toned flag on it which said otherwise. The small framed woman was a little overkill in the weapons department but Dimitri didn't want to take chances on Kenzi getting hurt during raids.
Of course in true Kenzi style, she wore a frilly reversible black and red jacket over her vest and under her gear, black facing out. She didn't want to stand out during raids after all. She reversed it and hung in on the chair.
Kenzi got her double bacon cheeseburger, home fries, chill cheese nachos and a large soda while Bo just got a salad and water.
Bo just teased after biting gingerly on a cherry tomato, "You know just because you burn more calories as a Kitsune, doesn't mean that replace it with empty ones. All calories aren't created equal."
Kenzi smirked diving hurriedly into her nachos nearly wolfing them down and informed, "You know Bo bear life is short like a shot glass. I plan on enjoying it the max. But YOU? You could eat anything my succu-bestie and still keep your figure but you don't. That is even more insane."
Bo shrugged and replied, "I need more muscle tone and less fat."
"AGAIN, by the nature of you being YOU, it won't change," Kenzi then took a bite of her burger.
"Well I do get a little better tone and am a little thinner," Bo added.
"Emmmmm you are SO freaking lucky Bo. Are your twins in the cradle still the same size?" Kenzi asked being observant shoving several fries in her mouth. She couldn't help but to note Bo's assets seemed larger now that Bo had Mia's former more rigid body armor off.
"Well….. my band size got a little smaller but it kind of bumped me into the next letter up," Bo offered in a hushed tone. "It's not that they got bigger, but I got a little thinner."
Kenzi stopped chewing in total disbelief with Bo squeezing her shoulders together to make them more pronounced under her blouse. She finally swallowed in a big gulp and replied, "Ohhhhh Emmmmm Geeeee. Bobo I am really really jealous right now. When you work out your upper body, all women get smaller boobs, EVEN ME. YOU however, gosh …. This is so wrong. Does TT like this change?"
"Oh yea, she does," Bo grinned manically and winked. "How do you think I got her to clean the whole kitchen with me in a tank and underwear?"
"TMI!" Kenzi blurted out but remembered that it was odd the Tamsin would help anxiously with cleaning up but Bo wore a really tight tank which probably drove T nuts. That and Bo's caboose was a lot more pronounced and defined with all the leg lifts was doing.
Bo shrugged letting it pass an after a minute asked, "So how are you and Dimitri?"
Kenzi sipped her drink and replied knowing full well what Bo was implying, "STILL the same Bo. You ain't gonna get blood from a rock. We are still good friends."
"Hey where is he?" Bo asked knowing how protective of her he was. He was normally on the Ops with Kenzi.
"Oh yea, Jessica and Dimitri got orders from General John Delamar of Burning Cypress to regroup since there are protests mounting on Derrick and Erica's return. They need more security at their port of arrival," Kenzi informed somewhat formally.
Bo just got to the point, "You know he cares about you, more than you know."
"I know Bo Bo. I know," Kenzi replied sitting back throwing a nacho she was about to eat on her plate.
The succubus knew this was a sore topic and just soothed, "Sorry Kenz if I push you too hard. I just don't what you to be blind."
"Love IS blind anyway Bo-bi-nator. In any case I give what I can. He's already seen me in my birthday suit a couple times, but beyond that, I can't oblige," Kenzi exhaled defeated.
"And after we kill Massimo?" Bo offered trying to see if she's move on after that.
"We'll see. Don't rush the mojo," Kenzi said seriously with no idea if she could or not but changed gears leaning forward to inquire, "And HOW is the misses?"
"Perfect. I think we've gotten into a good groove. Not a day goes by where I don't count my blessings. Gosh, she cooks my favs like a Lauren does kicked up a notch. She shops with me, she stands by me, supports me, kicks ass. Wow. I want this to go on forever," Bo said dreamily.
Kenz was happy for Bo and Tamsin too and remarked offhanded, "So she feeds you and she FFEEDS you."
Bo chuckled since it was true.
Then a woman bust into the diner and yelled, "There's a woman for screaming 'help' in the alley!"
Everyone got up but Bo and Kenzi snapped into action.
Kenzi quickly donned on her jacket red side out and caught up with Bo, who bolted into the alley, dagger drawn.
Once in the alley, Bo traced the yells for help and is sounded like someone woman was being raped. Kenzi in a blur whizzed past her and ended up one block away with Bo still running to catch up at full sprint.
Kenzi pointed inside the tall industrial building that looked abandoned. She drew her Grach with a slight blur.
Bo focused on Kenzi and something caught her eye, Kenzi was wearing a RED jacket, the same jacket she saw in the premonition during the Sea of Fae! The buildings in these couple blocks were industrial just like the premonition.
OMG.
Bo immediately knew and stopped in her tracks and yelled, "KENZ! It's a trap! Let's go!"
Kenzi hesitated.
"Let go! NOW!" There was just no time to explain.
Kenzi knew Bo was dead serious and trusted her, so she zipped back to Bo who sprinted like her life depended on it to their car parked several blocks away.
All of a sudden the ground rumbled. From all sides of them, a mob of Humans and Fae were aggressively running to them angry and armed with whatever they had. They were about to be overrun and killed. They looked and acted like mindless zombies.
Kenzi gulped. They were surrounded and DEATH was coming for both of them, but if fate was right, Bo survived. She needed to make sure that happened.
She knew what to do and used her radio but Bo stopped her before she hit the transmit button and said, "NO! DON'T call for backup! This is MY fight!"
Kenzi looked at her weird but knew why she wanted to do this cracking off a couple of shots killing 2 morags and slamming into a troll with her dagger slitting his throat. Deep down she knew how much Bo regretted killing her family and THIS was her solution. FATE would have no power of her.
Bo turned red and threw a tendril of energy to the wall of Fae approaching her. The front wave collapsed like rag dolls.
She then turn turned brighter red and tried to feed but she couldn't. Somehow there was magic in place that was preventing her from powering up.
OH SHIT. That meant what she had now was all she could use.
TROUBLE.
She'd die without her ability to recharge. That and BOTH of them didn't have their full gear.
Somehow, she has to get Kenzi out of there alive. Preferably both of them.
Was it even possible?
Bo then made a split second decision grabbing Kenzi by the collar and yelled in an order, "Kenz! Take one booster NOW and get as far away from here as you can!"
Kenzi was shocked. Bo was asking her to leave her to die, and replied cracking off another round, "NO BO! We can get out to this TOGETHER!"
"I can't feed! Please Kenz," Bo pulled her in a pleaded. "Don't DIE HERE! They are here for me not you! Take the booster and get to safety!"
Kenzi still shook her head, "We are in it 'til the…"
"PLEASE do this one last thing for me. PLEASE!" Bo was pleaded frantically drawing her Glock and killing several Fae on her side. The more she used her powers the less time she could hold out.
Kenzi stabbed 2 humans with tears streaming down her face. "NO WAY!"
"DO IT! I love you Kenz and I won't get you killed!" Bo kicked and then expended several more rounds.
Kenzi capped one more Fae the using her powers to slice another in a flash and refused to leave Bo's side.
"TAKE MY PLACE! You need to live to avenge me! I don't know how much time I can give you. Please PROMISE ME. Leave and then come back to avenge me," Bo yelled at her knowing how much she was hurting her sister.
The Kitsune finally relented nodding and turning to hug Bo barely able see through her wet eyes with streams of sorrow streaking down and smudging her mascara. She yanked off 3 more rounds to cover Bo's back and Bo covered her back firing a couple more rounds which emptied her magazine in the brief hug.
Kenzi broke the hug finally biting into the pouch on her shoulder and took one of the boosters. She felt dizzy and sick with a little bit of pain but it cleared after a couple seconds. Bo was using her red powers again emitting a circle of tendrils out from them.
Bo just yelled, "NOW!" as the crazed Fae around them collapsed dead for a block radius. She then jumped on top of the dumpster firing several more bolts down Kenzi's path to the truck.
Kenzi had her full Kitsune powers back and then some slipping and dodging several rabid Fae. Some that were in her way where killed, compliments of Bo. She was still wrestling with herself over this course of action.
She wanted to live just like anyone else but at what cost? Bo bear was her one and only sister. Through thick and thin, her loyalty never waned but now, Bo was avoiding fate because she wasn't a slave to it.
The crowd of zombie Fae cleared up right as she got to the car. She got in and slammed on the gas with tires squealing.
In a flash Kenzi was gone and Bo knew it since she had climbed the fire escape ladder and saw her truck fish tail out of there in the distance.
Bo nodded with a smile of satisfaction. There was NO WAY her bestie was going down, at least not on her watch. The succubus knew this victory would be short lived since she had to face this onslaught alone with Fae climbing the fire escape for her but as Lauren quoted often from star trek, "The good of the many, outweighed the needs of the few or the one."
If she died, she would be the only one who perished and not her whole family. NEVER her family.
That however didn't mean give up, far from it. It meant she needed to 'FIGHT LIKE HELL.' Massimo and fate will have to EARN their keep.
