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 13

"Okay and then you turn it like this…hahaha well almost…"

Lauren looked up at Tamsin with a humorous smile and laughed at Tamsin's 'concentration face,' It was early on Thursday morning and the pair had decided to make breakfast to replenish their bodies after their marathon session last night. Well, actually Lauren had decided to make breakfast and the Valkyrie decided she wanted an impromptu lesson. This mainly consisted of her making a mess of whatever Lauren was trying to do while at the same time coping a feel on the blonde doctor as she whenever she bent over to grab something out of the fridge or reached up to get a bowl or pan. Lauren had tried to scold her about trying to get frisky in the kitchen but Tamsin just shrugged and said then maybe she should put on something more than just her oversized t-shirt and underwear.

Making good on her promise, Lauren had definitely shown Tamsin just how appreciative she'd been for her patience over the past few weeks. Sometime after the fourth or fifth round of their extracurricular activities the two were finally ready to pass out and as Lauren watched Tamsin fall asleep first with a peaceful look on her face she smiled and felt as though the weight she'd been carrying around for the past few months of stress and guilt and worry about this whole situation had finally been lifted. Tamsin had proven she was capable of being in a committed relationship and Lauren found herself truly happy that she had stolen the heart of the woman lying next to her.

Back to reality though, Lauren sighed as she looked at the mess in the kitchen and just shook her head at the thought of how long it would take to clean up. She wouldn't admit it to anyone, but she actually found someone who was a worse cook than Bo. They had started with eggs and bacon which went semi-smoothly save for Tamsin almost mixing in chunks of shell as she beat the eggs and then almost burning her hand as she reached for the bacon unaware that the meat product would splash a bit of oil as it fried therefore making a fork or tongs a necessity when cooking it. They had moved on to pancakes and Lauren was seriously regretting the decision as she looked at the two messy pans that were in the sink. Tamsin couldn't quite understand when the appropriate time to flip the pancake was and the remains of that were now stuck to two of her favorite non-stick pans.

KNOCK KNOCK

Tamsin shrugged as she walked over to the door to see who decided to stop by unannounced that morning. She opened the door and rolled her eyes a bit. Of course.

"Visitors…"

She motioned for Bo and Kenzi to enter and laughed as the younger girl went to the kitchen and plopped down at the counter and fished some bacon off of the plate it was cooling off on. Lauren looked a bit panicked as she looked down and realized her state of undress and not-so-discreetly made her way upstairs to put some pants on. Bo rolled her eyes as she joined Kenzi at the counter and stole the piece of bacon that Kenzi had snagged.

"So what brings you two by this morning?"

Tamsin gave them a faux friendly smile as she went back to watching the pancake that was now slightly burning as it sat in the pan. She used the spatula to fish it out of the hot surface and smiled at her accomplishment. Lauren had returned by that point and had to stop for a second at the odd scene in front of her. Her ex and her roommate were sitting at the counter while her current was cooking. Yes, Lauren decided she'd stepped into an episode of the Twilight Zone.

"Let me do that…"

She ushered Tamsin out of the kitchen for fear of losing any more of her cookware and proceeded to start another round of pancakes for the group. As she poured the batter into the hot surface she looked over at Bo and Kenzi expectantly.

"So what's going on this morning guys?"

"We got a visit from Dr. Bitchface last night. Seems she's been playing secret agent herself."

Lauren looked at Kenzi with a confused face and raised her eyebrow in question. Kenzi pulled out a file and put it on the counter as she reached for a plate and began scooping a healthy portion of eggs onto it. Lauren wiped her hands and picked up the file to scan its contents quickly. She looked up confused.

"These are all of Bo's lab results."

Bo nodded and munched on a piece of bacon thoughtfully. "Do you have any idea why she would be looking at those?"

Lauren shook her head 'no' and handed the file over to Tamsin who rolled her eyes slightly and opened it with little interest. The contents were pretty standard: blood work, listing of the treatment history that Lauren had been helping her with, notes on her feeding patterns etc.

She shut the file and set it down with a shrug. "Maybe she's just doing her homework on the chosen one over here?"

Bo looked at her skeptically. "Yeah but why? And why now?"

Tamsin shrugged and went back to eating her burnt pancake. Lauren plated a few pancakes for Bo and Kenzi and Tamsin grumbled slightly at the fact that they got 'the good ones' while she had to eat what she made. Lauren rolled her eyes and poured more batter into the pan to make Tamsin her own stack of pancakes. Bo and Kenzi ate the fluffy breakfast food in silence for a few seconds before Kenzi looked up with a curious gaze.

"Do you guys think she's planning some kind of evil ass plot for the Morrigan?"

"I doubt it. Bitch is ballsy but I don't think she'd go that far."

Bo gave Tamsin an unsure gaze as she thought about that statement. True, the Morrigan would stop at no end to get whatever it is she wanted but the question remained, what did she want?

Lauren looked at Bo with a knowing look. "I think you need to talk to Trick."

Bo looked confused. "Why?"

Lauren sighed. "Because more than anyone if there is something going on he would probably know. I mean he did serve as the Blood King for a long time and as Katya had told us, somehow he's mixed up in all of this. I think it's time Bo…"

Bo pushed her pancakes around her plate slowly. She had known for a while that she needed to have a hard discussion with him but she really didn't want to nor did she know how to broach the subject with him. Tamsin waived off Lauren's comment.

"No, I don't think so. If Bo goes to him now we've played all of our cards. Best bet is to figure out whatever the Morrgian is planning and beat her at her own game."

Kenzi looked suspicious. "Why do you have such an interest in Bo not finding out more from Trick?"

Tamsin shrugged nonchalantly. "I don't. But if it were me, I would keep my friends close and my enemies closer ya know?"

Bo gave her a hard stare. "Trick isn't the enemy."

Tamsin smirked. "Of course not."

Bo went to open her mouth but was cut off by Lauren. "Well Tamisn, either way I do think Trick would be helpful in this situation. We need someone who knows what's going on…"

Tamsin looked at Bo and Lauren and Kenzi who were all giving her annoyed stares as if she would argue with them again. Tamsin sighed and took a bite of her food. "What about Dyson?"

Bo sat up straighter. "What about him?"

Tamsin didn't even glance over at her as she took a sip of her coffee and wiped her mouth with her hand. "Well if I do recall he knew something or other about all this. Maybe he can shed some light on what's going on?"

Bo seemed to contemplate this as Kenzi looked at her carefully. "You gonna be okay digging up dirt from him?"

Bo nodded. "I'll give him a call later. If he does know anything I'm sure he'd share it with us."

Tamsin snorted. "Yeah because he's been so forthcoming up to this point."

Bo set her fork down with a loud clank and gave Tamsin a hard look. "And what does that mean?"

Tamsin looked over at her calmly and raised an eyebrow at Bo's statement. "What I mean is that while we were chasing our tails in France he knew more than he was letting on and it took us nearly dying for him to cough up any info. Or did you forget about that little detail?"

Bo stood up and shoved herself away from the counter top roughly. She crossed her arms and stood in front of Tamsin with a glare in her eye. "Funny thing, same could be said about you. I mean until Lauren started working for the Morrigan none of us had ever heard of you. So I could ask you what your purpose is for being here is?"

Tamsin looked up at her slowly and stood up silently as she glared down at the Succubus who was giving her the harshest of looks she could muster. Kenzi's eyes went wide and she looked at Tamsin and Bo before glancing over at Lauren who had the same nervous expression on her face. Kenzi got up and got in between the two and tried to push them apart.

"Okay, before any blood is shed how about we all calm down and enjoy this wonderful food?"

Tamsin ignored her as she glared down at Bo. "Watch yourself Succubus. Like it or not I'm not the one you need to be concerned about. Now, if this is about other things then I'm sure you and I can find a way to handle this once and for all."

She'd glanced over at Lauren while she was speaking and Bo followed her gaze slightly before turning back to her with electric blue eyes. Kenzi yelped a bit before ducking out of the way knowing in this state, Bo had little control over her decision making process. Tamsin smirked smugly down at the younger Fae and she squared her shoulders as she glared down at her but didn't contort her face into her Valkyrie stare just yet.

Bo took a step closer to Tamsin and looked up at her with a menacing look. "I would wipe that smirk off your face if I were you. Let me make it clear to you that whatever you think about this situation you're wrong."

Tamsin crossed her arms over her chest. "Am I? I told you when I first met you it was clear you were trying to mark your territory and from what I can tell, nothing's changed there."

Bo glared up at her. "You're wrong."

Tamsin laughed sarcastically. "Okay sure. Don't think I don't know how much it kills you that her world doesn't revolve around you any longer."

Bo growled lowly as Lauren stepped around the counter and put her hand on Tamsin's arm. "Okay enough. Stop it you two. This is getting ridiculous."

Bo glanced at Lauren for a few seconds and she felt her eyes change back to their deep brown color as she nodded slowly. Tamsin uncrossed her arms and sighed as she sat down slowly all the while never taking her eyes off the Succubus. Kenzi looked impressed at Lauren's ability to defuse the situation and she resumed eating her breakfast with a smirk on her face. As much as Bo could try and deny it Kenzi knew she was still deeply in lurve with the doc. Lauren sighed as she picked up her plate and started eating the now cold pancakes that were on it. She chewed thoughtfully as she looked at the two powerful Fae with an even gaze.

"I think Tamsin may have a point, but Bo you do need to find out what Dyson knows. If we can get some information I can contact Katya to see if she can help us figure out what all is going on. But from now on you two need to play nice, understood?"

Bo and Tamsin both nodded silently causing Kenzi to laugh. "Wow doc, I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes."

Lauren rolled her eyes and finished eating her food. The rest of breakfast passed without incident and Bo and Kenzi left after helping Lauren clean up the destroyed kitchen. After they were gone Tamsin sat at the countertop with a guilty look on her face. She knew she'd overstepped with Bo and she was most certain she was going to hear about it. Lauren finished putting the last of the dishes away and she walked over to where Tamsin was sitting and put her hands on the taller blonde's shoulders as she sighed.

"Why do you feel the need to make this a point of contention every time Bo is around?"

Tamsin looked up at her carefully. "She started it."

Lauren rolled her eyes. "Really? Well you didn't need to add to it. I asked you before to please stop with Bo."

Tamsin sighed as she brought her hands up to Lauren's hips and rested them there lightly. "I know."

Lauren laughed. "And?"

Tamsin scrunched her face. "Fine. Fine. I'll leave her alone."

Lauren raised an eyebrow knowing full well she probably wouldn't. Lauren leaned down and kissed Tamsin softly who froze at the sudden movement then smiled into the kiss as she gripped Lauren's hips tighter. Lauren pulled back and looked at her seriously. "I'm being honest Tamsin. You can't keep picking fights with her."

Tamsin nodded. "Okay. If baby Fae starts up I'll make nice."

Lauren laughed and nodded as she leaned in for another kiss. She was sure this feud between the two would never go away but for the time being she could live with the fact that Tamsin was at least willing to try.

Just another something to move them along. Let me know what you thought and thanks for reading!
