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

All I can say about this chapter is #TeamHuman

R&R appreciated. Enjoy!

Chapter 11

"Kenzi, please be careful and try not to break anything."

Kenzi rolled her eyes as she followed the blonde through the Dark Fae science lab. She looked at the various pieces of complicated equipment and sighed.

"Don't worry I remember. You break it you bought it. But can we hurry this up? This place gives me the creeps."

Lauren looked back at the young Russian with a raised eyebrow before looking around at the expansive lab. The Dark Fae lab was actually much more state-of-the-art than the Light Fae lab and Lauren knew it was more the surroundings that were creeping her out than the lab itself. Lauren had been happily surprised when she'd first visited the lab to see the Morrigan had spared no expense in ensuring they were fitted with the latest equipment and there were a few things Lauren had yet to test out simply because she didn't have time. The lab was like nerd heaven for her and she was seriously considering extending her days so she could tinker around with the various pieces of technology that made her geek-meter spin off the charts.

"This won't take long, don't worry."

Lauren led them over to one of the workstations and pointed for Kenzi to sit down and stay put while she gathered what she needed. Since she and Tamsin had met with Bo and Dyson and Tamsin had shared her suspicions about the Morrigan keeping secrets Bo decided they needed to be on full alert. That meant making sure Lauren and Kenzi always had someone with them, and in this case that meant each other. Tamsin didn't like Lauren going to the lab alone but she couldn't accompany the Doc as she was stuck working another case with Dyson and Bo had been summoned to meet with Trick so she wasn't available either. Kenzi had been voluntold she needed to accompany the blonde to the lab so she did so after making Tamsin promise to snag her a certain bottle of two-hundred year old champagne from Trick's study the next time they were at the Dahl. Tamsin had rolled her eyes in agreement and ensured the Goth that if Lauren returned unharmed that she would personally ensure Kenzi's alcoholic wishes came true.

"What are you getting anyway?"

Kenzi played with the heart rate machine sitting next to the work station and gave Lauren a semi-guilty look when she accidently flipped it on and the machine let out a loud beep indicating a flatline since it wasn't hooked up to a patient. Lauren walked over and shut off the machine while she looked at Kenzi with annoyance and amusement.

"Just some research I'd been doing recently. I think the samples may give us some information that might be useful."

"What kind of research?"

Lauren looked over at Kenzi with a raised eyebrow. The younger girl never showed any interest in her work so she was sure it was just Kenzi trying to pass the time. She looked back at the rack of samples she was flipping through.

"Actually it's Katya's DNA sample I got the last time she was here."

Kenzi's eyebrows shot up. "Doc, you runnin some kind of secret agent shit behind her back?"

Lauren laughed. "No, she voluntarily gave it to me. At the time I was trying to figure out what had made her sick, but now I think this might give us more than just that. If I can understand if there is any genetic difference between Katya and other Fae it might help us identify more about the Originals and if they are tied into these murders or not."

Kenzi looked impressed. "Well look at you gettin all sciency on this."

Lauren rolled her eyes. "Isn't that what I kind of do Kenzi?"

Kenzi nodded. "True. Okay well chop chop woman. Let's get whatever it is you need and get the hell out of here."

Lauren laughed as she pulled out the slides with the tissue samples she wanted and punched a few things into the computer to print out her reports.

"Dr. Lewis, what are you doing here?"

Lauren stood up at the intruder's voice and rolled her eyes slightly before turning to face her. "Dr. Blacker, I could ask you the same thing."

Emily smiled. "Well I was just meeting with the Morrigan, part of our peace project, you understand?"

Lauren glanced at the clock. "I wasn't aware the Morrigan took meetings at eight-o'clock at night."

She gave Emily a faux friendly smile and the fellow doctor just smirked in return. "Funny, I heard you've met with her at much later hours, so I didn't think it would be a problem with you."

Lauren narrowed her eyes but kept her smile in place. "No problem, just wondering why the Light doctor is stalking around the Dark lab is all."

Emily laughed. "I'd hardly call it stalking. I came down here to see if I left some notes behind and saw the light was on so I thought I'd come see who else kept odd hours."

Lauren nodded and glanced over at Kenzi before turning back to the Light doctor. "Well we're done here. Shall I walk you out?"

Emily looked over at Kenzi and peered at the small woman. "Don't tell me you're the muscle here to accompany Dr. Lewis?"

Kenzi looked up in annoyance. "Excuse me?"

Dr. Blacker smirked at Kenzi. "Well, I mean it's quite bold of you to accompany Dr. Lewis to the Dark lab so late at night. I mean, being human and all…"

Kenzi rolled her eyes. "And your point is? You're both human."

Emily smiled. "Yes, but we are human's with a purpose, unlike you."

Kenzi stood up and put her hands on her hips. "Are we gonna have a problem here?"

Lauren looked over at Kenzi and put her hand up. "Come on Kenzi, let's go. I think we're done here."

Emily smirked. "Yes Kenzi run along. I'm sure your owner is waiting for you."

Kenzi looked over at Dr. Blacker with an evil look in her eye. "What did you just say?"

Emily laughed. "What? It's true right? The Succubus owns you."

Kenzi took a step forward. "Look lady, no one owns me."

Emily nodded sarcastically. "Fine, whatever you say. But let's be honest, in reality if it weren't for her you'd have been dead a long time ago."

Kenzi stared her down as Lauren took a few steps closer to Emily and spoke to her in a quiet but firm tone. "Dr. Blacker, I suggest you leave now before you say something that you will regret later. I can assure you whatever ties you think you have to the Morrigan or the Ash are superficial. I wouldn't rely on their alliances to save you should the need arise and I can guarantee you if you continue on in the manner you are neither Kenzi nor I can or will do anything to stop Bo or Tamsin or any of the other Fae from finding you and making amends for your indiscretions."

Emily looked at her evenly for a second then scoffed. "Oh please, if you're trying to intimidate me Dr. Lewis your approach needs work. I can assure you I am more connected than you or your pathetic Fae friends think. And believe me Dr. Lewis, you will need more than the unaligned juvenile Succubus and the aging Valkyrie to save you or your infantile friend over there."

Kenzi took a step closer with her hands on her hips. "What did you just call me?"

Emily rolled her eyes. "Sorry, can't keep up with the adults talking darling?"

Kenzi cracked her knuckles and closed the distance between herself and the Light doctor. "Okay bitch I've had enough. It's go time."

Lauren had to literally push Kenzi back a step to stop her from bringing physical harm to the smug woman who was staring back at her with disdain. Lauren turned back to Emily with a cold stare and a firm but even tone.

"Dr. Blacker, while this has been entertaining and enlightening I think it's time for you to leave. And let me give you some advice, physician to physician. You've studied the Fae, you've read my research, you think you've learned all there is to learn in this world. Well let me give you the cold, hard truth. Reality is, you and I are as irreplaceable as the kitchen table so you should be cautious in your dealings with things you cannot fully comprehend. It may not seem like it, but it takes more than a brash attitude and a piece of paper to make you indispensable to their kind. You may think Kenzi and I are beneath you, you may think we're useless in this world, and to some extent you may be correct. However, be advised, as much as you may think these things about us, you should ask yourself what the purpose was for bringing you into all this. There is nothing stopping Evony from ending your life in a heartbeat if it were her prerogative and no one would blink an eye. Perhaps your true role is to challenge me or perhaps it's simply to verify my work, but whatever the case once you have served your purpose you will be disposed of. Keep that in mind as you navigate this world and tread lightly Doctor. Very lightly. For these so-called pathetic friends that Kenzi and I have made are our ties to this society that you will never have the benefit of experiencing."

With that she turned and walked out of the lab with Kenzi following slowly behind. When she got to the doorway Kenzi turned back to Dr. Blacker and gave her a sarcastic smile. "That's right. Who can't keep up now darling?" Kenzi laughed as she let the door slam behind her as she followed Lauren out of the lab. Once they reached the safety of Lauren's car Kenzi turned to the Doc with a wide smile.

"Holy shitballs who knew you had that in you? That was bad ass Doc!"

Lauren gripped the wheel in distress as she tried to control her breathing and not hyperventilate. She didn't especially enjoy confrontations, but when the need arose she knew how to handle herself. Still, she hated being that person and she looked over at Kenzi with a small smile.

"Well, I don't think I want to have to be 'bad ass' again anytime soon."

Kenzi laughed and nodded as Lauren started the car and they headed back to the clubhouse to wait for the others to return. Back in the lab Dr. Blacker stood rooted to her spot as she thought about what Laure had said. She wasn't intimidated, simply because the blonde doctor just didn't pose any physical threat to her, but she knew Lauren's words had struck a nerve. She shook her head and gathered up what she had come to the lab for and made her way out of the lab quickly, suddenly not feeling at all comfortable about being in the Dark Fae compound alone.

So…what did you think of the doctor vs doctor showdown? I don't really think Lauren would have been a 'fighter' so to speak so she had to do her damage with her words. Also, #TeamHuman is seriously my favorite pairing in the show so it was fun having them together. Let me know what you thought and thanks for reading!
