A/N: Sorry this has taken so long, my muse just isn't playing ball right now, which may mean that this part is a whole load of crap. Guess we'll find out. Thanks for all the reviews and everything. Onwards we go.

Tamsin stayed sitting in the car outside the Light Fae compound. She figured Bo and Aife probably needed time alone to talk. What she didn't expect was, about 10 minutes after she walked in the building, Bo walked back out, with Aife. Opening the passenger side door Bo moved the seat forward, allowing Aife to climb into the back, putting the seat forward before sitting down and closing the door as she looked at Tamsin.

"Drive." she said.

"You know this isn't going to..." Tamsin started to say.

"Drive," Bo repeated, "please."

"Where to?" the Valkyrie asked with a sigh.

"The Clubhouse." Bo said.

Tamsin turned the car around and started driving towards the main road as the guards came running out of the facility.

"It's nice to see you again Tamsin." Aife said from the backseat.

Tamsin couldn't stop the laugh escaping her as she considered how normal the greeting was.

x-x-x

As she sat in the kitchen area at the Clubhouse, Tamsin knew it was only a question of time before Trick or someone else arrived for Aife. She also knew there was no way Bo would allow her mother to be taken away without putting up some kind of fight. A knock at the door caught her attention, it also made both Bo and Aife jump. Bo immediately reached for her knife. Tamsin walked towards the door before turning back to Bo.

"Put that down..." she said, "aggression isn't going to work in your favour, trust me."

She watched as Bo put the knife back before she opened the door. There was no need for any aggression, it was Lauren. Bo had text her as they drove back to the Clubhouse to see if she could come over and make sure her mother was okay. Well, okay was a relative term, obviously she meant physically okay. Mentally that ship had long since sailed for the older Succubus.

"It's Lauren." Tamsin said, walking back inside.

"Hey..." Lauren said as she walked towards the living room area.

Tamsin noticed the look on Aife's face change, just moments before she had been smiling and laughing with Bo, now she looked alarmed. Alarmed and scared.

"You..." Aife said as she moved to the furthest point on the sofa away from Lauren.

"Mom, this is Lauren." Bo said, "She's here to see if you're okay."

"I know who she is," Aife replied, standing up, "she works for him. You said you were going to help me, not hand me over to them..."

"Taft..." Tamsin said, "she associates Lauren with Taft..."

"She worked for him." Aife remembered, "said she was going to help us, but all she did was patch us up ready for the next round."

"Nobody is taking you anywhere Aife," Lauren said, "I don't work for anyone but myself now."

"And Evony..." Tamsin muttered.

Lauren shot her a look.

Tamsin shrugged.

"Just saying it as I see it, doc." she said with a smirk.

"Tamsin..." Aife said.

"She isn't taking you anywhere," Tamsin said to Aife, "you have my word. She just wants to make sure that you're okay, physically."

"I was as much of a prisoner as you were," Lauren said, putting her medical kit down on the table in the living room area, "I had no option but to do what he wanted."

As Tamsin leant against the island in the kitchen Bo walked over to her.

"Well it seems like my mom trusts you." she said.

"Crazy knows crazy..." Tamsin said with a shrug, not taking her eyes off Lauren, "we have an... Understanding... A common interest, so to speak."

"Oh yeah?" Bo asked, curious about what Tamsin was talking about, "And what's that?"

"You." Tamsin replied, looking at Bo.

"What did you two talk about?" Bo asked.

"This and that," Tamsin replied, "she confirmed what I already suspected about the Ancients, and your father..."

"What do you mean?" the Succubus asked in reply.

"To beat them you are going to have to open the box... You can't do it without him, Bo..." Tamsin said quietly, "and you also have to embrace what you are, who you were born to be."

"I can't be what he wants me to be, Tamsin, I'm not that... Thing..." Bo said.

"I know," Tamsin replied with a small smile, "You're more than he could ever imagine... But... The fate of the world rests in your hands Bo... You have something he didn't plan for, a family, and we're not going to let anything happen to you, I swear."

x-x-x

Tamsin thought she was going to throw up as Bo placed the music box on the table, it was time for the moment of truth. Aife was upstairs, not wanting to witness the arrival of the man who had kept her locked up.

"Are you sure about this Bo?" Lauren asked, "would it not make more sense to open it in my clinic, then we can attempt to contain whatever it releases."

"It isn't going to matter where she opens it," Tamsin said, "what is going to come out of that box can't be contained..."

"You look like you're about to vom." Kenzi said, "That's enough for me to know that I don't want to be here."

"I need you all here..." Bo said as she took a deep breath, "I don't know what's going to happen, but I do know that I need you... All."

"We're here Bo." Dyson said, resting his Bo's shoulder.

"Not going anywhere Bo-Bo." Kenzi said, "I'll just be right here, hiding behind Tamsin."

"I would feel a little..." Lauren started to say, before Tamsin looked at her, interrupting her, "I'm here..."

As Bo reached for the handle on the box she locked eyes with the Valkyrie who nodded a little. She wasn't going anywhere. Tamsin could see the uncertainty in Bo's eyes, she really didn't want to do this.

"You've got this Bo..." Tamsin said quietly, "show that asshole who's boss."

Bo smiled a little as she looked back down at the box, Tamsin closed her eyes as the music started to play. She could feel the fear pouring from all of them. They were about to release a Fae who had been confined to the Underworld for centuries, a Fae who had been growing in power since Bo had released Rainer from the Death Train. A Fae many humans regarded as a God. They should be scared. As the music stopped and the lid flew open they all had to shield their eyes from the bright light that filled the room. Tamsin felt Kenzi grip her arm. The Valkyrie knew that neither Kenzi nor Lauren should be there. Hades was Dark, darker than Dark, humans were food to him, nothing more.

The light dimmed and they watched as Hades stood before them.

"Finally," he said, taking a deep breath as he looked around, his eyes stopping on Bo, "Ysabeau..."

"It's Bo," the Succubus replied, "Just Bo."

"Of course," Hades replied with a smile, "Bo."

He looked at Dyson, the wolf showing on his features, his eyes then moved onto Tamsin.

"Tamsin," he smirked, "you have now officially completed the job, what was it we agreed on as payment..."

"I would say go to Hell," Tamsin said, not feeling as confident as she hoped she sounded, "but you'll be going back there soon enough."

"Is that a threat Valkyrie." Hades said, all hint of amusement gone from his voice.

"It's a promise." Tamsin replied.

Hades laughed, his eyes moving past Tamsin and resting on Kenzi.

"And you brought food." he said.

Tamsin's features immediately darkened as she moved Kenzi behind her.

"She isn't food, she's family." Bo stated.

"Off limits," Hades said, "I understand."

"Hello Hades..." Aife said, walking into the room.

"Well now, it's a family reunion." Hades said, looking at Aife.

Aife's eyes flashed blue as the anger grew within her. Hades laughed, then shook his head, tutting a little. He motioned to what hung around his neck, a koushang.

"My daughter is a Succubus," he said with a smirk, "did you really think I wouldn't come prepared. Bo, you and I need to talk, alone."

"That's not going to happen." Tamsin said.

Hades looked at Tamsin, a serious look on his face as Tamsin felt her chest start to tighten, as her throat started to constrict.

"Do it..." she struggled to say, her eyes locked on the powerful Fae in front of her, "I'm as good as dead anyway."

Bo stepped in front of Tamsin and looked at Hades.

"Let's talk." she said.

Tamsin nearly collapsed to her knees as all the air suddenly flowed back into her lungs as Bo and Hades went upstairs to talk.

Aife walked over to Tamsin.

"Try to live long enough to see through your promise Valkyrie..." she said.

Tamsin just closed her eyes and hoped she had the strength to see this through till the end. Hades was the only Fae she had met who actually scared her, the only Fae she had ever met who made her doubt herself.
