Characters aren't mine. I've taken the liberties I wanted for the storyline, but the characters belong to Showcase and Lost Girl.

R&R appreciated. Enjoy!

Chapter 6

"Doc…seriously?"

The Doc gave Tamsin a glare as she continued typing away at her computer. She'd spent the better part of the past two days recuperating from her girl's night out with Bo and Kenzi and she was massively behind on her work. Tamsin had been good about making sure she was taken care of that night and stopped by the next day with a greasy cheeseburger and fries to help Lauren's stomach recover from her night in front of the toilet. One thing was for sure, Lauren could certainly tell she was no longer an undergrad. She might have been able to pull nights like that before and make it to her 8:00am class the next day but that time had long since passed and she was seriously considering giving up drinking altogether.

Tamsin was currently sitting on Lauren's couch waiting for her to finish whatever it was she was doing at the computer so they could go and meet Kenzi and her man crush for drinks. Tamsin had been feeling pretty wound up lately and after having to take care of Lauren the other night she was in serious need of some relaxation herself. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate all the work that Lauren did, and she was actually enjoying the Detective thing, but a girl needs a break every once in a while. Lauren had initially agreed to accompany Tamsin and Kenzi on this quasi double-date but now she wasn't sure she would make it. The Morrigan had called her earlier in the day asking to meet with her tomorrow morning so Lauren had to be sure she was prepared.

"Tamsin it's fine if you go on head. I have a pile of work to get through before tomorrow."

Tamsin got up and walked over to where she was seated at the computer. Tamsin put her arm down across the laptop effectively blocking Lauren's view of the screen.

"And it will be there tomorrow. Come on, you could use a break anyway."

Lauren looked up and gave her an apologetic look. "Maybe next time okay? I'm sorry I just have so much to do."

"Ugh fine. But if I get bored I take no responsibility for my actions."

Lauren nodded and smiled at Tamsin who just rolled her eyes as she grabbed her jacket off the back of Lauren's couch before she headed out. She wasn't all that thrilled to be hanging with Kenzi on her own but she'd developed a small bit of appreciation for the feisty human and she wanted to check out this dude that was what Kenzi called, 'a damn fine piece of man candy.'

Lauren sighed as she watched Tamsin leave wishing she could go but knowing she needed to be fully prepared for whatever the Morrigan would be dishing out tomorrow. Lauren stretched a bit in her chair as she leaned back and went through her research in her head, making sure she didn't miss anything. She was certain the Morrigan wanted an update on the mysterious 'invisible Fae disease' thing so she had dug as much as possible into it since she'd returned from France. She glanced at the clock and seeing as how it was only eight o'clock she decided to take a quick shower to wake herself up a bit to ensure her attention was sharp as she reviewed her notes for one last time that night.

Meanwhile at the Dahl

Tamsin strolled into the bar with a look of boredom on her face while she scanned the bar for any signs of Kenzi and Man Candy. She soon spotted them at the bar and sauntered up to them taking her time to check out the guy and try and figure out what kind of Fae he was. She sort of wished Dyson was here so he could literally sniff the guy out, but since he wasn't she would need to make do and find out using her own methods. She clapped Kenzi on the back and gave her a cheeky smile.

"What up human."

Kenzi's eyes grew big at the way Tamsin addressed her and she quickly glanced over at Man Candy before whispering under her breath.

"Opstay with the umanhay."

She nodded her head in a not-so-discrete manner and Tamsin understood. Man Candy was human. She smiled to herself and thought, 'well at least that's one thing in his favor…he won't outlive Kenzi by a thousand years and even better I may not have to potentially kill him.' She took the seat next to Kenzi and stuck her hand across the short Russian extending a greeting to the dude on Kenzi's other side.

"Tamsin."

"Jeff."

He gripped her hand and gave her a warm smile but didn't even try and check her out as he looked back at Kenzi with a smile. Tamsin looked him over and she had to admit Kenzi had good taste. Jeff was blonde with the whole clean cut look thing going on but Tamsin could tell he was rockin some kind of drool worthy body under the lose button down shirt he was wearing. Tamsin noticed his shirt was untucked and not wrinkled telling her he wasn't some stuck up guy who was trying to act normal around Kenzi and she appreciated the way his attention never wavered from the girl in front of him. Kenzi beamed at Tamsin and wiggled her eyebrows as if saying, 'right?' as she threw back the shot in her hand. She turned to Jeff and pointed to the open couches on the other side of the bar.

"Can you go grab these while Tammy and I grab more drinks?"

"Sure."

He got up and took his drink with him as he made his way over to the aforementioned couches. Kenzi turned back to Tamsin with a grin.

"Was I right or was I right?"

Tamsin nodded and rolled her eyes. "Well you weren't wrong. So if he's human why did you bring him here?"

Kenzi waived as if it should be obvious. "Uh hello…free bar tab. Duh!"

Tamsin laughed. "Oh yeah that's right. Okay makes sense."

Kenzi looked over Tamsin's shoulder. "Where's the Doc?"

Tamsin rolled her eyes. "Working."

Kenzi nodded and shrugged her shoulders as if to say 'sorry.' Tamsin waived it off and grabbed the pitcher of beer that had appeared in front of them. The two turned to leave the bartop and join Jeff at the couches as Tamsin looked down at Kenzi.

"So where did you meet tall blonde and handsome?"

Kenzi smiled. "He works at the hardware store next to the clubhouse."

Tamsin raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

Kenzi nodded and smiled devilishly. "And let me tell you, he is very good with his hands."

Tamsin laughed as the pair made their way over to the couches. Another figure appeared next to Jeff that made both women perk up in annoyance.

"Oh hell no. Bitch is goin down."

Tamsin grabbed Kenzi's arm with her free hand to stop her from going over there and making a scene. Tamsin calmly crossed the last few steps and put the pitchers of beer down in front of Jeff and Emily who looked like the cat that ate the canary. Jeff looked really confused and he immediately scooted over so Kenzi could take a seat next to him, which she did as she practically sat in his lap. Tamsin looked at her with a smirk.

"Dr. Blacker, what brings you out of your cave?"

Emily smirked at the Valkyrie. "Tamsin was it? So nice to see you again. I was simply in the area and wanted to grab a drink."

Kenzi pointed over her shoulder with her thumb. "Go ahead, bar's over there."

Emily glared at Kenzi. "Well I was hoping since I don't know anyone in this town too well yet that I might join you all?"

"Howabout…no?"

Jeff looked at Kenzi strangely before glancing at Emily, then Tamsin then back to Kenzi. He had no idea what was going on and he was hoping there wasn't going to be some chick fight that broke out.

Emily rolled her eyes a bit. "Come now, it will be fun."

With that Emily sat down in the arm chair adjacent to the couch that Kenzi was sitting on. Tamsin and Kenzi exchanged looks that basically said WTF before Tamsin huffed and sat down on the couch across from Kenzi and as far from Emily as possible. She didn't like the human and she didn't want to be responsible for ending the woman's life prematurely. The four of them sat in silence for a bit with Jeff looking around curiously as Emily watched him and Kenzi and Tamsin watched Emily with a mixture of anger and disgust. Suffice if to say they didn't like this woman.

"So Jeff, what do you do?"

Kenzi rolled her eyes at Emily's sickeningly sweet tone of voice. Jeff, having been raised with manners, sat up a bit and turned to Emily with a friendly smile. "I'm working and going to school part time."

Emily nodded as she leaned forward with interest. "And what are you going to school for?"

Jeff gave her a strange look. He didn't know why this stranger was being overly friendly with him. "Uh…I'm getting my MBA."

Emily nodded and smiled. "That's wonderful. Higher education is such a treasure and it's getting harder and harder to find as a trait in people these days." She looked smugly at Tamsin and Kenzi alike, as she was certain neither of them had gone to college or heck even let alone graduated high school. Tamsin opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by the newest member of their group.

"Well that's the most pretentious thing I've ever heard. Hi guys."

Kenzi and Tamsin looked up at Lauren appreciatively as she slid into the seat next to Tamsin and made room for Dyson to sit down next to her if he wanted. After her shower, Lauren had decided how stupid it was for her to pass up a night out with the others so she called Dyson and asked him to pick her up and the two of them headed over to the Dahl right away. Emily glared at Lauren through her fake smile and Dyson nodded to the group before sitting back against the couch making himself comfortable. Tamsin moved slightly to let Lauren lean into her a bit as she sipped her beer and stared at Emily with disgust. She offered Lauren a sip but Lauren shook her head and made a face earning a laugh from the rest of the group minus Emily.

Kenzi motioned to the newcomers. "This is Lauren and Dyson. Guys this is Jeff."

"Nice to meet you."

"Hey."

Jeff shook their hands and sat back comfortably but Tamsin noticed her put his hand possessively on Kenzi's leg as he glanced at Dyson. She snorted into her beer thinking about Jeff feeling the need to stake his claim and the group looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"Uh…sorry. Wrong pipe."

She took another big drink of beer and rolled her eyes as everyone laughed at her behavior. Soon enough the group had relaxed somewhat and it didn't take long for Lauren and Jeff to get into an animated discussion about York University where they both had gotten their undergraduate degrees. They were laughing and reliving their college days while Kenzi and Dyson looked on in amusement. Tamsin had kept her attention on Emily who seemed like she was studying the group for a weakness or something. When Emily got up to get another drink Tamsin followed her.

"So Emily, what's your problem?"

Not ever having an issue with being blunt Tamsin just put it out there. Emily looked up at her with surprise. "No problem hun. Just trying to get to know everyone."

Tamsin leaned on the bar and looked at her thoughtfully. "Okay. How can I say this…maybe you need to play in another sandbox. Understand?"

Emily looked at her curiously. "Why such hostility Detective?" She gave Tamsin a flirtatious smile. "You know, for such a stunning woman you shouldn't be so angry all the time, gives you wrinkles." She ran her finger up Tamsin's arm as she spoke and to accentuate her point she let her fingers run lightly down Tamsin's face.

Tamsin grabbed her wrist tightly and stared down the shorter woman. "Look lady, I don't know and don't really give a shit what your problem is but if you ever touch me again I'll break your fingers. Got it?"

She let Emily's hand go with a slight shove and Emily laughed. "Fiesty. I like it. And I must say, makes me that much more envious of Dr. Lewis." She smirked at Tamsin as she picked up the drink she'd ordered. She turned back to the tall blonde and tipped her glass to the woman. "Another time then." And with that she turned and walked down the bar to take a seat at the bartop alone. Tamsin glared at her as Dyson walked up with the empty pitcher.

"Everything alright?"

"Peachy."

Tamsin glared at Emily one last time before turning and going back to the group. Kenzi looked at her with a raised eyebrow as she'd seen the interaction and Tamsin just shook her head. She was now certain the raven haired woman was up to something but she didn't know what. She took her seat next to Lauren and tried to listen to their conversation but she just wasn't into it. She was fuming at Dr. Blacker's actions and she really wished Jeff wasn't here so she could kick that woman's ass. She shook her head as she tried to enjoy the rest of the evening but she couldn't shake the nagging feeling that things were going to go downhill. Fast.

So what do you think of Dr. Blacker so far? Must say, she's a fun character to play with. Let me know what you think and thanks for reading!
