Chapter 27: Reunited at Last
"Fuck you, you and your hero complex Dyson. I'm no weakling, I don't care that it could be dangerous. I'm coming with you!" Rena was pissed. As much as she liked Dyson his constant hero complex and noble man act was getting on her nerves.
"Rena... Please calm down. I never said you were weak. Somebody has to stay with Ivy and you are the only one being able to comfort her. This is important. Please understand... And you still have that stupid cold. I would never forgive myself if something happened to you."
"I CAN take care of myself."
"That's not the point!" Dyson growled. "I know the city, what people to talk to."
"So let me go with you... "
Dyson sighed and pinched his nose. Rena was as stubborn as him. He knew Rena could hold her own. That was the reason he trusted her to protect Ivy in the first place. Taking the girl with them was out of the question. As much as he wanted to say Ivy was the main reason he knew it wasn't true. The real reason was more selfish. As much as he trusted in Renas talents he knew there were things to dangerous even for an army of fae. He didn't want to take any risks with Rena. His heart wouldn't survive if something happened to the redhead. It had been centuries since he last felt so strongly for a woman. Ciara... and what good did that? No.. he was with the woman he... loved? Did he love her? He had to be careful... Mating for life... was she the chosen one?
"Come here." He said in a soft tone his arms open. He saw the struggle in Rena but the redhead eventually obliged. He pulled her in close taking in her sweet scent. They shared a short loving kiss. "Sometimes I have the feeling that you are the one with the power to change moods." Rena chuckled. "Or its just your sexy body and voice. Not sure." She sighed and nuzzled her face in his neck. That man... "I'm still coming with you"
"Of course you are..." Dyson sighed. They stayed a while like this in the middle of the living room. Enjoying the others warmth. Sadness was taking over Dysons mind. He dreaded that this would be the last time he'd be holding her like this. He had a mission to fulfill. His inner wolf seemed bound to the new keeper. It was overwhelming. The decision he made broke his heart but he had to.
"I'm sorry Rena..." Dyson whispered. His voice was wavering, tears forming in his eyes. Rena just felt a needle and then darkness... Dyson carried her to their bed. He pulled a strand of her long red hair behind her ear, kissing her temple. "I'm so.. sorry..." He gulped. Tears were now freely flowing down his face. He rarely cried. "I hope one day you can forgive me, but I feel like I was destined to be by her side... I love you... I... I love you..." he said almost crying and left the house. He picked up his phone. "I'm on my way Hale. Prepare everything."
"Will do... But.. are you alright dude? You seem a little... out of it."
"I'm fine.. I have to..."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Come on you stupid piece of metal... go faster!" Bo yelled at the elevator.
"Calm down girl. You're doing your glowy eye thing again. You scare me.."
Bo shook her head and took a deep breath. "Sorry Kenz... I just... I don't feel like myself in the moment. I feel so driven." It didn't help that her birthmark was burning like hell.
A loud ding signaled that they had reached their destination. Bo rushed out of the metal cage and ran as fast as she could to the end of the hall where Lauren was supposed to be. Her heart raced. Her mind was only occupied by the blonde beauty.
"Wait for me Wonder woman..." Kenzi panted trying to stay with the brunette. "And knock before you enter! Bo... Bobo, stoooop" But the brunette didn't listen. Bo's heart stopped when she heard Lauren screaming. She kicked the door open and then something was taking over again.
Out of breath Kenzi reached the door and looked with wonder at the two girls. Bo was surrounded by a blue aura. Eyes matching the crackling aura in color. And then there was Lauren. The blonde was really here but looked different. She sat on her bed screaming. Gold engulfing her body raising the temperature in the room. She seemed in pain.
"I am here my queen" Bo said. Her voice so different so deep.. something else. She rushed to the blondes feet. Queen? Kenzi was confused.
"P...Pallas?" The blonde stuttered through the pain. Her eyes golden.
"Yes my goddess.. It is me.." the brunette smiled but couldn't keep her tears from falling. The blonde pulled her in a bone crushing hug. The pain seemed to subside. Two auras were playing with each other becoming one powerful.
"You've returned..." the blonde whispered.
"I told you I would" With that the two kissed. A burst of power knocked Kenzi from her feet. "What the hell is going on here?"
"I'd like to ask the same." Dr. Everett rushed to the room when she heard screams. So David was right after all? Did those millenia old spirits found back to eachother.
Kenzi slowly got back to her feet. The auras were gone and the two girls slept peacefully in eachothers arms. Blue and gold were gone.
"Let's give them some alone time child while you tell me who you are hmm?" Dr. Everett suggested.
"But.. They.. boom and.. strange voice and..." Kenzi rambled. What the hell did she get herself in to.
"I have hot chocolate and some cookies in my quarters. Come on I won't eat you.." The older woman smiled.
"Oh I'm not sure about that. I wouldn't be surprised if you'd grow a second head and swallow me whole..."
The doctor chuckled. "You humans are really funny creatures."
"You humans? What are you?"
"Come with me and I'll tell you..."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Lauren slowly woke up. What happened? Was that a dream or a memory? She remembered the pain but she wasn't dead. She felt fine actually. When she tried to get up she felt a weight on her chest. Panic was rising up in her. She opened her eyes to saw an arm draped over her chest holding her close. Those soft silky curls could only belong to... "Bo?" Lauren breathed. When? How? Was she dreaming again? If so she'd enjoy every second of it.
The blonde snuggled closer to her love. She felt so protected in the other girls warmth. How much she had longed to feel like this again. Breathing in the unique scent of the other girl calmed her edgy nerves. "So beautiful..." Her fingers were gently tracing the soft features of the other girl. Starting with her silk hair her finger tips wandered over cheekbones to stop at soft, kissable lips. Lauren didn't care how Bo managed to find her. She didn't care that this could be dangerous or what her heritage meant. No at this moment the only she cared about was Bo. Having her heart in her arms again was the only important thing. She felt finally while again which was weird.
Could it be that the brunette was the general from the prophecy? It was to good to be true. Bo was human, wasn't she? Probably this wasn't even real. A trick of her mind to calm her down. Maybe she was already dead? Passed in to the other realm? Or she was dying and her brain wanted it to be less painful?
Lauren's hand still moved stopping at the brunettes neck. Something was pulsing under her fingertips and it was not the usual heart rate. It felt different. Warm and seeking actually. Curious the blonde pulled the brunettes hair back to take a closer look. A crescent shaped birthmark glowing in a faint blue. Exactly in the same place as Lauren's mark. That couldn't be. She stroke over the mark which was reacting to the touch with a warm fulfilling feeling. It was prickling on her fingertips.
"The Sun and the Moon? The healer and the warrior... Queen and general united... huh.." Lauren was mumbling. This would be too convenient... But what if...? That would mean things were getting serious. She had to find this person Dr. Everett always talked about who knew more about all that the only problem was that she didn't have the slightest idea who that was.
Bo was stirring beside her, ripping her out of her thoughts. At first the brunette was snuggling closer but when reality sank in she jolted up taking in her surroundings when she saw Lauren she calmed down again. "Am I dreaming?" she breathed and cupped unbelieving the blondes cheek stroking the soft skin with her thumb. Her eyes were wide and started to tear up.
"I don't know but I hope not... " Lauren answered.
"Is that really you Lauren? How did I get in your arms? I just remember getting in the Elevator.."
"It is me... I don't know how you got here. How did you find me?"
"Followed the blonde cop and then... well.. a cat..."
"A cat?"
"Kenzi said his name was... Dile?"
"Kenzi? You were with Kenzi? How do you know her?"
"How about we talk about this later and... celebrate our reunion? I've been looking for you so long... I was a ghost of my former self.. Just let me confirm that you really are here.. We have enough to talk about later. And believe me... I have many questions myself but the last few have been hard enough. Give me some peace..."
Lauren leaned her forehead against Bo's enjoying the closeness. She slung her arms around the brunettes neck pulling her closer. "I've missed you..." Lauren whispered.
"I missed you too Lo..." Bo closed the gap between them and pulled her in a loving kiss. While it started out slow it quickly turned up the heat. Desire took over and soon tongues pushed in to mouths. Exploring, tasting... Need was rising up again in both parties. This felt just like the kiss between Pallas and Athena Lauren remembered.
So much love and longing was swinging with every touch.
More... Bo felt that inner demon creeping up in her again. You belong to me... You are MY mate. It growled. She pulled the blonde flush to her body. She wanted to crawl in to her, wanted to be part of her. A jolt went through her body when her hands found a way under Lauren's top. Toned muscles were flexing under curious hands. Something was pulling Bo in. The brunette spread the other girls legs a little apart to make room for her leg. Her clothed knee was connecting with the blondes core making her breathing Bo's name. She could feel the heat radiating from Lauren's most intimate place.
Hands roamed and seeked a way up. It didn't take long to capture a bra less breast in her hand. She curiously played with the hardening peak. Too... fast... calm down... Lauren isn't... isn't ready Bo tried to calm herself to no avail. She was loosing the fight again. Take... control... mine...
But before anything else could happen there was a loud clashing of broken glass. Bo immediately jumped up. Her eyes turning a deep blue. Nobody was going to get her mate. Lauren was behind her visibly scared. Hands dug in the brunettes back. She looked down at the woman that broke through the window. The rope she rappelled down was still slung around her body. She looked a little disoriented while plucking out the shards stuck in her skin. "Oww shit.. in my head that looked less painful."
"T...Tamsin? What the hell?" Lauren cried out.
The Valkyrie turned around looking like a dear caught in the headlight. "Ha aah right window, fuck yeah"
A/N: Well there is the reunion. Hope you aren't too disappointed at it. I'm not the most romantic person... sorryyyy... Well how did Tamsin get in the room? More background in the next chapter. Looking forward to you reviews. Joony over and out.
