Bo and Dyson are in the lead, Kenzi behind them, and the group is a few feet away from her. Bo signals for them to move closer, slowly when it's safe. They make it out of the area without an encounter. Dyson goes further ahead, peering out. It looks good. He signals for everyone to come out. They make it close to the ledge that Bo came down and a Drider sees them. It makes a sound to alert others, who arrive quickly surrounding them.
"Why that little S.O.B.," says Kenzi.
"Okay everyone, remember what I told you," Bo yells.
The Driders start to attack and everyone is fighting back. Bo is in extra protection mode trying to kill them off quickly so that they would not sustain any casualties. Everyone in the group is fighting as a unit, no skill, just raw momentum. They are stabbing the creatures multiple times, attacking in small groups with kicks and punches, gauging eyes out, chopping limbs, almost savage. Bo's energy is feeding them and them her. They get to the ledge and Bo and Dyson helps everyone else climb up. The first person up is a teenage boy. He helps pull others up. Everything is going well until someone screams. Bo and Dyson hurry to the top of the ledge and see the boy being drained of his blood by a Drider. Bo sifts chi from the Drider until it dies. The boy falls down. She kneels down and leans over the boy, pouring chi back into him. The boy opens his eyes, and Dyson helps him up.
"Okay, is everyone here?" asks Bo.
"I think so," says Kenzi.
"No. This isn't all of us," says someone.
"Margaret. She's not here," says a girl.
"Shit," says Bo.
"I got it," says Dyson.
"No Dyson, I need you and Kenzi to take the others to that opening over there and get out of here. And when you're out safe, cut the link."
"I'm not leaving you here Bo," says Dyson.
"Me either," says Kenzi.
"Yes you two are. And standing here makes us all open targets. Someone has to lead them to safety. Don't worry. I'll be right behind you. So you two go. Hurry."
"Okay," says Kenzi. She gives Bo a hug and rushes off with the others. Dyson growls and follows.
Bo goes over and leans against the edge where Margaret is climbing and extends her arm. "You're almost there," Bo says, to her. Margaret reaches for Bo. As their hands touch, a melee of arrows severs their connection. Margaret is shot in the back with multiple arrows, letting go of her grip. Bo yells out to her. Margaret falls backward landing on top of the arrows, blood oozes from out of her mouth. Bo looks in horror. Then a group of Driders hungrily rush over to her body. Bo sees where the arrows came from. She takes the sword and throws it with all her might toward the Drider. The sword goes through its chest, forcing its body to fly to the wall, pinning it.
The Driders that attacked the girl sees Bo and makes their way up the ledge. Bo looks in her boots for her daggers, gone. She looks for the knife off her hip, gone. A group of four circle her. The first one attacks, she slides through his legs, breaking one, under another, she sticks the leg in its abdomen.
Meanwhile Dyson and Kenzi are leading the group through the dark hall running. "Stop," says Dyson.
"What?" says Kenzi.
"You hear that?" he says.
"Um no."
"Go back. Everyone run back!" he yells.
Back to Bo. She has just finished fighting the four Driders, obtaining a sword and a crossbow. She runs to catch up with Kenzi and the others. Before she can make it to the opening, she is shot in the leg with an arrow. She turns around and sees the culprit, shooting him in the head with the cross bow. Bo then breaks the arrow, and pulls it out of her leg. The Driders seem to smell blood because she is immediately surrounded again.
The others make it back out to the ledge and sees Bo being cornered. They sprint over to her and attack the Driders.
"Damn Bo," says Kenzi. "We weren't even gone that long."
Bo has a fresh stab wound and several cuts and bruises, mainly from moving away from attacks. "I know they're like roaches."
"Where's Margaret?" asks someone.
"She didn't make it," says Bo, regrettably.
"Bo you need to heal. Use me," says Dyson.
"No you need your strength. I'm fine. Wait why are you all here?" Bo asks. "I thought I told you to leave."
"Yeah about that, you probably should've taken him up on the feed offer," says Kenzi.
Suddenly noises are heard resembling that of a stampede.
"Okay, did someone just place the saddest scene from the Lion King when Mufasa was trampled here?" says Bo.
"It's company, and I think they're very pissed off," says Kenzi, slowly walking back. Driders are coming out of all the openings in that area along with spider reinforcements.
"Up in the corner," yells someone.
Kenzi looks up and sees a huge spider. Looking around the area, she sees one in each groove of the ceiling. They begin crawling down. "Oh shit," says Kenzi.
"Everyone off the ledge now," yells Bo.
"What?" says Kenzi.
"Now hurry," says Bo.
Some of them slide down, others roll, fall, or jump. Bo gives some of her chi to those that hurt themselves during the way down. They run over to a platform in the corner, climbing up it as the area swells with enemies.
"Wow, talk about being cornered," says Kenzi.
"This was our only advantage point," says Bo, tired.
"Bo's right," says Dyson.
"Here they come," says Kenzi.
Fighting commences. A spider sinks its teeth into a man, snatching him away. Kenzi is trying to attack one that keeps maneuvering her. "If you can stop moving, then I'll be able to stab you," she says. Dyson comes and rips through the spider, killing it. "Right D man," says Kenzi.
Bo is feeding on a Drider when another tries to attack her. Exhausted and injured, she starts to get angry. She begins feeding on multiple enemies at the same time. It seems to overpower her as her body starts to rose up.
Kenzi and the other humans are fighting when a surge of power goes through them.
"Whoa did you feel that?" asks Kenzi.
"Feel what?" asks Dyson, pulling his arm out of the body of a fallen Drider.
"I can feel it," says someone, next to her.
"I feel like I can do anything," says Kenzi. She kicks one of the Driders and it flies further than it should for a human. Another grabs a leg of a spider and flings it across the area, its body bounces off the wall. Dyson looks on in confusion. He sees a small teenage girl jump on top of one and rips its head completely off.
"Kenzi, what's going on with everyone?" he asks.
"We're kicking ass that's what's going on," says Kenzi.
Dyson looks over to Bo, who is super-chi sucking a large group of enemies. "Unbind it Kenzi. Bo's starting to turn."
"I'm not supposed to yet," says Kenzi.
"Kenzi if you love Bo you'll undo it," he says.
"I do love Bo," says Kenzi, cutting through a spider.
"We all love Bo," says someone, in the group.
"Dammit Kenzi," says Dyson.
"Dyson dude, stop being a dumbass. You know that I have to do what Bo tells me to do. Hello I'm her thrall," says Kenzi.
Dyson growls and runs over to Bo. He calls for her attention. She continues chi sifting. He starts shaking her in order to get her to stop. "Bo, Bo, wake up. Wake up Bo."
Bo comes to. "Yeah, I'm here. I'm fine. You can stop shaking me now," says Bo.
"I thought I lost you," says Dyson.
"You will if you don't get back to fighting," says Bo, blocking an attack. "Hurry back to Kenzi and the others. I can handle this side."
Moments pass and Bo is over with the others fighting. "You think we can get any reception down here to call for back up?" asks Kenzi.
"I doubt it. And I know what you mean, my arms are getting sore. I can only imagine how you feel," says Bo.
"Kind of like a slinky," Kenzi answers. "I don't even think we're going to get killed anymore, I think it's going to be death by fight exhaustion."
Out of nowhere, a sound like a giant is walking nears them.
"What the hell is that noise? Sounds like a Cyclops walking," says Kenzi.
"I don't know. Be careful," says Bo, rushing off to fight at another area of the platform.
Finally, the mammoth sized Drider Queen carrying a massive sword appears on Bo's side. The creatures stop fighting in respect for the Drider Queen.
"Why did they just stop fighting?" asks Kenzi. She looks over. "What the fuck is that?!" she shouts. "Bo, get away from that big bitch!"
The DQ walks closer to Bo. "Um, please don't tell me that I have to fight it!" says Bo.
Dyson tries to move but several swords stop him, letting him know that they want only Bo and her to fight. "Bo, it's the Drider Queen. If you kill her then they all will die!" he yells, to her.
"What? Why do I have to fight her?" says Bo, holding her sword.
The Drider Queen begins sending web strings at Bo that she dodges. "This bitch is fast." The DQ does another round and the last one catches Bo, sticking. She tries to reel Bo in. The two look as if they are in a game of tug of war. The Drider Queen is winning, pulling Bo closer and closer.
"Bo don't let her eat you!" yells Kenzi.
"I'll keep that in mind Kenzi!" says Bo. She slides out of her jacket since the web is sticking to it, and the DQ stumbles back, making a pissed off piercing noise. Bo runs further away, picking up a sword again. The DQ balls up her fist and it starts glowing.
"Wait, no one told me there'd be powers involved," says Bo. When she releases her hand, a huge mass of energy goes flying towards Bo, who quickly moves out of the way. She releases a few more. The last one hits Bo, sending her against the wall. Kenzi covers her mouth in horror. The Drider Queen makes her way closer to Bo, who is having a hard time recovering.
Everyone yells for Bo to get up. Bo struggles, making it to her knees, dropping her sword. She puts her head down.
"Bo, what the hell are you doing?! Get up!" yells Kenzi.
Bo's hair starts blowing, her skin blushes. The DQ lifts her sword in the air.
"To hell with this, I'm not going to watch her die," says Dyson. He turns into wolf-man mode.
"No D man, she's about to go Dark Bo," says Kenzi.
"Even more reason to stop this," he says, in his growly voice.
Without warning, a flash comes from above them. Then a gleaming figure stands before Bo. The intensity of it is so bright that they have to cover their eyes. With two swords, the glowing figure stops the DQ's assault, breaking her sword in half.
Their eyes begin to adjust. "What the hell is that?" asks Kenzi. "Wait, is that Tamsin?"
Tamsin sends the DQ flying back by lifting her hand. The DQ lands on its feet. The creatures become enraged by the interference and resumes fighting. Tamsin winds her swords in each hand, then in a fighting stance, holds one in front and the other behind. The DQ angrily sprints over towards her and Tamsin does the same. When the DQ and Tamsin come close to each other, the DQ uses its legs as weapons and lifts up, putting its weight on its hind legs. Before it can stab Tamsin with its legs, she cuts them off with each sword. Then with a swift 360, she slices the DQ completely in half, twice. The body parts collapse. As Tamsin slowly walks back over, the other creatures begin to fall in death as their Queen takes her final breaths. She walks over to Bo, who is still on the ground, and in a bit of shock. Tamsin lifts up her swords.
"Oh no, I've seen this before, she's about to kill Bo," says Kenzi.
"Not if I have anything to do with it," says Dyson. "I can't move."
Tamsin with her swords in the air, places them on her back. She extends her hand to Bo, armor continuously radiating. Bo grabs her hand, and Tamsin pulls her up. Tamsin's face shield retracts back into the helmet. She looks into Bo's eyes with her golden ones. Bo touches the side of Tamsin's face. She closes her eyes upon feeling Bo's hand. When Tamsin reopens her eyes, they are returned to their ice blue color, and she, back into her normal self. She puts her arms around Bo, whose eyes turn Succubus blue. Bo, who now has both hands against Tamsin's face, begins kissing her.
"Whoa, I think it's safe to cut the link, and quickly," says Kenzi.
Kenzi is at the Dal, drinking at the bar. Dyson walks over. "Hey Kenzi," he says, sitting next to her.
"Sup D," she says.
"I take it Bo hasn't returned yet," he says.
"Nope. It's only been like a week. I'm guessing she's making up for lost time."
"Hey, if you want something to do, you can always work with me on a case," says Dyson.
"Hell no! Never again in your lifetime, even though I may be dead first. So you get the drift. I'm not fighting anything for at least ten years," says Kenzi.
"I'm just joking with you Kenzi," he says.
"Don't joke like that. Those are the kind of jokes that get people killed. That and snitches."
Lauren walks in and goes over to Dyson. "Hello Kenzi," she says.
"Sup Doc," Kenzi replies.
"Dyson, here are the files you requested," says Lauren, handing them to him.
"Thanks Lauren," he says.
"Damn Doc, it's always business with you. Even at a bar," says Kenzi.
"This may come as a shock to you Kenzi but I asked Dyson to meet me here. I haven't been here in a while and thought that I could use a break," says Lauren.
"Now that's what I'm talking about. Well park your buns. I'm here, you're here, he's here, let's do some shots," says Kenzi.
"I would actually prefer wine," says Lauren.
"I'm going to have to take a rain check Kenzi. I need to get back to the station. I just came for the files," says Dyson, patting Kenzi's shoulder. He gets up.
"I guess that's how it be when you're doing double the work load because your partner's on leave again," says Kenzi.
"I should get going. Lauren, Kenzi, it's been a pleasure," says Dyson, walking away.
"So Tamsin's back," says Lauren.
"Yep. Don't feel bad Doc. They left so fast. All this crazy shit happened with fucked up elves and monster spiders. It was like, did that really happen? But then since Bo isn't here, it's like it did," says Kenzi.
Lauren is looking at Kenzi, wondering if she needs to get out the medical bag. "No, I'm happy for Bo."
"Lauren I gotta give it to you. You're a very strong person," says Kenzi.
"Thank you Kenzi for saying that," says Lauren.
"You are so welcome. Because if it was me, and I'm still in love with a guy and he's been gone for a week and counting, and I know exactly what he's doing, I would probably be going ape-shit. But you are a very strong person," says Kenzi.
"Yeah thanks. So you were saying something about shots," says Lauren.
Bo and Kenzi are out in the field when they find three dead bodies. Kenzi calls Dyson, and he and Tamsin show up along with the cleanup crew, who are taking samples around the area.
"They definitely went down fighting," says Dyson, kneeling next to the bodies with gloves on. He smells them. "And they're Fae."
"Looks like our vics were dumped after," says Tamsin, surveying the area with her eyes. Her face frowns like she's in pain. "Whoever they were, they died in fear."
Dyson studies the track marks. "They got here by truck. Two people."
Bo is observing the seriousness of the conversation, particularly watching Tamsin.
"How long ago was it that you found them?" asks Dyson.
"Um not too long ago. Kenzi?" Bo says, looking at Tamsin, who notices.
"Like ten minutes before we called you." Kenzi looks at Bo. "How the hell can you get turned on at a crime scene?" she asks, Bo, who shrugs.
"You two didn't contaminate the area did you?" asks Tamsin.
"Well, I checked to see if they were alive," says Bo.
Dyson smells them again. "They've been dumped within the last four hours."
Workers are noticing Bo's gaze and begin to whisper and giggle amongst each other.
Tamsin gets up and walks over to Bo, pulling her to the side. "Bo, you can't keep doing what you're doing here. I am working."
"I can't keep doing what? I thought I was helping," Bo answers.
"You are. You're also undressing me with your eyes. I'm a woman working in a predominantly male department. It's hard enough being viewed as an equal as it is, but you're killing me here."
"I'm sorry. I can't help it. You're kind of really sexy when you play detective."
"However flattering that was I have to get back to work. I want you to meet me at my apartment later."
"You have an apartment?" asks Bo.
"Yes, contrary to popular belief. I'll text you the details. Dress nice," says Tamsin. She walks back over to Dyson.
Later that evening. Bo shows up to Tamsin's skyscraper apartment in a fitted, deep V designed back cut-out with cap-sleeves, little black dress. She wears blue heels with a matching blue shawl that she has draped over her elbows and across her back, sapphire earrings in her ears. Tamsin opens the door wearing an above the knee white sheath dress that accentuates her silhouette. It has a silver neckline that is designed with unique cutout features. She is also wearing a sleek pair of silver four-inch pumps, and diamond earrings.
"Boy I would hate for the elevators to go out in this place. Wow, don't you look incredible," says Bo, walking in. She kisses Tamsin on the lips.
"So do you, as always."
"You're sweet. Oh wow Tamsin. Look at this," says Bo, admiring the apartment. She looks at the white walls with exquisite paintings, the mini pillars, exotic vases and statues, a white piano on top of white carpet, the black sofa and furniture pieces. "This is nice," she says, staring at the art on the walls. Bo touches on the vases and various sculptures.
"They're all genuine pieces I've acquired over the years," says Tamsin, bringing Bo a glass of wine.
"I didn't know that you were this refined."
"Well, I've been around for awhile," says Tamsin.
"A piano. I would have never guessed. Can you play?" asks Bo. Tamsin nods. "Can you play something right now?"
"Maybe later. Right now I should check on the food since I slaved over the stove preparing dinner all evening."
"And you cook? Well if your cooking is as good as how your apartment looks I would be more than impressed," says Bo.
Tamsin goes over to the kitchen while Bo looks around the apartment. She sees a picture of herself in a frame on a small table next to the sofa. "I didn't know you had a picture of me," says Bo, smiling. Tamsin shrugs. "Wow. Wait, how did you get a picture of me again?" she asks.
"I took it from out of your house," replies Tamsin.
Bo nods her head. "Cause it just wouldn't have been right otherwise. Still sweet though." Bo slides open a glass panel and steps out onto the terrace, leaning against the railing of the balcony, glass in her hand, hair flowing with the wind. She looks up into the starry sky.
"Now that's the kind of image one would put inside a frame," says Tamsin, joining Bo.
Bo's eyes turn blue. "You keep talking like that and I may just skip dinner and go right for the dessert."
"Right. Well, I thought I'd come out to let you know that the food is ready," says Tamsin.
They go back inside.
Tamsin pulls out a chair at the dining table made for two for Bo. She sits down. Tamsin refills the glasses with wine, and brings over a fresh salad with pomegranate seeds and hazelnuts.
"Oh look, a pretty salad," says Bo, placing a cloth over her lap.
"Babe it's just an appetizer," responds Tamsin.
"Oh, you're really trying to go for the whole restaurant quality," says Bo. "And I love it when you call me that."
"Babe? Well, it's kind of the only word I can say that doesn't make me want to puke," says Tamsin. She smiles and extends her hand for Bo to take, which she does, caressing Bo's hand with her thumb.
"Well, I finally have everything that I want."
"What's that?"
"The complete package, with bonus features."
Tamsin clears her throat. "Well, we should start eating."
After that is eaten. Tamsin brings out the main course which is finely sliced pan seared duck breast with sautéed pear wedges and shallots in a sauce.
Bo looks in amazement on how lovely the presentation is. She looks at Tamsin with appreciative eyes, and the two begin eating.
After the main course. "Wow that was delicious even for a duck. Who knew that you could cook like that," says Bo.
"Still have room for dessert?" asks Tamsin.
"Oh no. I'm kinda stuffed."
"It's a chocolate molten lava cake."
"Did you say chocolate? Well one can never be too full for that."
Tamsin brings out the dessert. The plates have a single oval shaped cake on each with a flat bottom. Next to it is an all chocolate abstract sculpture that towers and cups a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
"Tamsin, this is really beautiful. I kind of don't want to eat it it's so pretty. I know that you're into art, but wow," says Bo, in delight.
"Thank you," says Tamsin, with a smile. "You should eat up before the ice cream melts."
After dinner, Tamsin is putting the dishes away while Bo looks at the art. "I'm in awe, the good kind of awe. The food was wonderful. Your apartment. You." Tamsin brings Bo a fresh glass of wine. "Are you trying to get me drunk just so that I can sleep with you? Because that would be totally unnecessary." Tamsin smirks at her. "Thank you. I still can't believe how amazing all of this is." Tamsin smiles. "Oh I almost forgot, aren't you gonna play something for me?" asks Bo, looking at the piano. Tamsin sits down at the piano. "I'll be your piano vixen." Bo lies on top of it, looking seductive. Tamsin looks at her and starts playing "Liebestraum (Dream of Love)," No. 3 in A-flat Major by Franz Liszt. As she plays, Bo's eyes glow blue. She finishes and it is Bo that appears to be mesmerized. Bo signals for Tamsin to come over to her. Tamsin stands, caressing Bo's body beginning with her lower leg. She reaches Bo's side, and Bo sits up. They begin kissing each other. While kissing, Tamsin slides Bo off of the piano. Bo, still kissing Tamsin, leads back first towards the bedroom. Tamsin stops when it seems like Bo is about to bump into an antique vase.
"Wait that's a 14th century," says Tamsin, cutting herself off by the shattering of it. "Oh well," she says as she returns to kissing Bo.
They go into the bedroom. All white with black furniture and satin sheets. Bo undoes her dress. Then she starts undoing Tamsin's. "Wait," says Tamsin. "I have to tell you something, but I'm afraid to."
Bo stops immediately. "What is it Tamsin?" she asks, with concern in her eyes.
"I just wanted to say. To tell you that, that…I…love you," says Tamsin.
Bo looks like her heart just jumped out of her chest. "What did you just say?"
"I said that, I love you Bo," says Tamsin, looking defenseless.
"Oh Tamsin," says Bo, blue eyes beaming.
"And I'm afraid," says Tamsin.
Bo places her hands against Tamsin's face. "You have nothing to be afraid of. I'm not going to do anything to hurt you. I love you Tamsin." Bo kisses her. "Now you're about to know the difference between having sex and making love."
They are in bed, unclothed, draped in black satin sheets, Bo on top. Their bodies move to the rhythm of the most deep and magnificent waves. As they sensually collide into one another, tears slide from both of Tamsin's eyes.
Bo stops. "What's wrong?" she asks, with sympathetic eyes. She wipes away Tamsin's tears.
"I don't know. I'm, I feel…happy."
Bo sighs like her breath was just taken away. "I don't know what it is about you. But I've never wanted someone so much in my life."
"Neither have I," says Tamsin, softly.
Bo's eyes glow, and her and Tamsin begin kissing each other. Then Bo's body begins to increase in temperature. Her skin reddens, becoming a beacon for pleasure. As Bo's skin touches Tamsin's, the energy can be seen spreading to her until it covers her completely, each now able to feel the other's emotions. The sensations that they are experiencing from one another becomes amplified. Tamsin has her eyes held tightly closed, trying to control the feeling, while her nails rip into the sheets. Their bodies pressing against each other so greatly that the legs of the bed surrender, cracking before completely breaking. The intensity overwhelms them and both slip into a fantastic state of euphoria.
Later that night. Bo is gripping the sheets while Tamsin is underneath the covers. Bo's back is arched as she appears to be being ridden by an invisible partner. She moans, her eyes closed, head leaned back. When Bo finishes, Tamsin makes her way back up. They begin kissing as one of Tamsin's hands remains underneath the cover. Rocking. Sitting up. Bo turns around placing Tamsin on the receiving end. Tamsin suddenly stops moving. Bo still kissing on her notices. "What's wrong baby?" she asks.
"The Morrigan," responds Tamsin.
