The Morrigan's face broke into a large grin. "Bo, the unaligned succubus. I have heard many things about you; it is a pleasure to finally meet you. Though, before her death Evony warned me you would be trouble. Looks like she was right." she said as she continued to watch Bo, the mischief now back in her eyes.

"Yes, well, I wish I could say the pleasure was mutual, but I generally don't hang out with child killers and murderers." Bo spit out. She didn't care who the bitch was, or how attractive she was (which was very).

"Now now, that is a bit harsh don't you think? Luanne killed her own children; she was convicted in a human court and everything. We are just as appalled as you at her actions, and happy that justice was served."

"Oh please, I know Vex killed those kids and then left Luanne to the humans to execute. You are a bunch of cowards. And afraid of what? Some silly weak humans?"

The Morrigan regarded her with a frown. "Why do you care so much?"

"Because you have no right to tell people who they can and cannot love. And you have even less right to punish them if you disagree with it."

"On the contrary, as the leader of the Dark Fae, I do have the right to tell them that, and enforce the laws if they disobey. And as someone who has not chosen a side, you have no standing to question anything."

"This is exactly the reason I am unaligned. Because I want no part of your backwards bullshit. Big bad fae afraid of humans. What, are you afraid the food is going to start fighting back? You are pathetic," Bo practically spit out.

The Morrigan watched Bo for several minutes, not responding to her taunt. Bo didn't back down either, staring deep into the woman's eyes. What she didn't let the woman know, was that she wasn't sure she could look away if she wanted to. The Morrigan had eyes so deep she really did want to get lost in them.

It was the Morrigan that finally broke the silence. "I am sorry you feel that way. But alas, I have an appointment I need to get to and don't really have time for debate on a topic that is no concern of yours. Vex, will you –"

Before the Morrigan could finish her sentence, they were interrupted by the sounds of two people rushing in to the theatre. Bo, who was still frozen in place, was able to turn her head to see that it was Dyson and Kenzi. She groaned internally. If she managed to get out of this, there was no way Dyson was going to let her live this down. She would almost prefer letting Vex have his way with her then listen to the litany of 'I told you so's' that were sure to spout from Dyson's mouth when this was over.

Sensing the threat as soon as he entered the theatre, Dyson's wolf nature started to take over and his eyes began to yellow out. Bo, who was watching the Morrigan closely, noticed how she instantly tensed up and her aura, which had been dim but warm, instantly turned black.

Dyson also seemed to tense up at the site of the woman, which piqued Bo's curiosity. She wondered what history was between them that caused such a visceral reaction in the both of them. She knew Dyson had no love of the Dark, but she had never seen him like this. And what would the leader of the Dark Fae have to do with Dyson? If she got out of this mess, she would certainly do some digging.

Dyson was the first to break the standoff. With a growl, he addressed the Morrigan, who only glared back at him with steely eyes. "What do you want wolf? Light Fae are not welcome here. Nor are humans," she said, throwing a glance over at Kenzi, who Bo could tell was a little unsure of the situation she found herself in.

"I have come for the succubus," he said, keeping his eyes on the woman before him.

"The succubus? And what business do you have with her? She is not Light Fae."

"Nor is she Dark"

"True, but since she broke in to Dark Fae territory and threatened one of my people, I have authority to punish her as I see fit."

Dyson let out a growl. "Touch her and I –"

"You'll what Dyson? Are you willing to start a war with the entire Dark Fae over an unaligned succubus?" the Morrigan cut him off, moving to stand directly in front of him, eyes locking on each other. Bo could do nothing but watch, frightened and intrigued by the scene unfolding before her. She was surprised at how little fear the Morrigan was showing of Dyson right now. Dyson was a thousand year-old wolf shifter, one of the most powerful and deadly in the world. Bo wondered yet again what type of fae the beautiful woman could be, that she did not fear him.

But also dejectedly, she knew the answer to the question the wolf had not yet answered. Dyson may care about her, but he cared more about the fae and she knew he would not attack the Morrigan to save her.

Suddenly, it was Kenzi's soft voice that broke the tension. "Please just let Bo go. Whatever she did, she didn't mean, she is new to the fae world and meant no disrespect." Had Bo not been frozen in place, she would have burst out laughing watching Kenzi play the demure innocent human.

The Morrigan turned her head towards the small goth who had just spoken and looked at her curiously. "Did you finally lower your standards Dyson and get yourself a pet?"

"I am no one's pet," the goth ground out.

"She's my best friend," Bo answered, not wanting Kenzi to say anything to make the situation worse right now.

The Morrigan chuckled, looking back at the succubus. "Your best friend is a human? Wow, you weren't kidding about liking humans."

The Morrigan took a step back and let out a big sigh. She glanced at Vex, who was patiently waiting for her to give him something to do. Though, patiently for Vex meant that he was off in a corner swaying to some unknown music in his head. Finally she moved back to stand before Bo.

"I really do have an appointment I need to get to, so I will make a deal with you. Drop the Luanne stuff, and I will let you and your friends go."

Bo's initial reaction was to tell her to fuck off, but the look in her eyes gave her just a second of a pause. Bo couldn't quite make out what was reflected back – hope perhaps? Whatever it was, that second of hesitation was all her rational side needed to see that she really had no choice. While she would have gladly sacrificed herself for the cause, she could not do that to Kenzi. And really, what more could she do about Luanne? She was dead and getting herself killed right now wouldn't do any of the future Luanne's any good. She slowly nodded her acceptance of the deal.

"Good," the blonde responded and Bo was sure she could see a flash of relief cross her face. "Come Vex, we have other matters to attend to," she said to the man behind her as she turned and walked out of the theatre without another word.

Vex released his hold over Bo and waggled his eyes suggestively. He turned to follow his leader out the door, but after taking a few steps he turned back and looked at Kenzi. "You and I need to compare makeup notes little human," and with a cackle he too was gone, leaving Bo, Kenzi and Dyson standing around in awkward silence.

Kenzi was the first to break it when she ran over to Bo and gave her a big hug. "Thank god you are okay. I was so worried, I had to get Dyson, I'm sorry." Bo looked down and hugged her back. "Don't worry, its okay."

Dyson only stood glaring at her. "Bo, you need to stop doing this. You cannot keep acting like a bull in a china shop and go off attacking people every time you disagree with them. This isn't the human world anymore. There are fae that are more powerful than you that would not even blink over killing you."

"How can I live my life pretending to be ignorant? Dyson, I didn't grow up in the fae world like you - I can't just stand by when the fae punish people for loving someone they disagree with. How will I be able to love who I want and who would want to love me back? I will never stop fighting Dyson; I don't care what they try to do to me."

Dyson looked at her sadly. "I care," he said as he walked out the door, leaving Kenzi and Bo alone in the now quiet and dark theatre.
