Family Reunion
All of the fae seemed to be stunned into silence, until Bo jumped up and stumped over to her grandfather, "How do you know its her? It could be a mistake, she…"
"It's her Bo. I showed them a portrait of her that her mother and I had commissioned some time ago for her birthday. It's her." The Blood King told his granddaughter firmly.
"I don't believe it, shouldn't I be immune to her by now. Besides why would she get involved in such a public way. You know her Trick she likes to work behind the scenes, like…" Bo said a little desperately.
"Like taking control of the Ashe, like manipulating you to kill Lauren and Vex before they could discover that the Ashe and the Council were being controlled." Kenzi said a distant look in her eyes, "Trying to take out the Avengers before they figured out what's really going on here? Sound like something she would do, Bo?"
The succubus looked over at her friend and her shoulders slumped as she nodded her head, finally replying, "Yeah it does sound just like something she would do."
Kenzi pulled out her cell phone and said, "I still think someone else is behind the spiders probably the Morrigan. But Aife running around isn't safe for any of use, especially not Hale." as she tapped a number into her phone and put it up to her ear.
"Hey buddy, how are you doing?" she said into the cell phone after a short reply she said, "Can I speak to Val for a minute?"
She put her hand over the cell phone for a minute and said, "I think a little bait and switch is in order, you guys figure out a way to neutralize Aife without killing her and we'll get her to the church on time." The Elder said before going back to her phone conversation and basically ignoring the rest of the people in the Den for the next several minutes as she explained her plan to Hales sister.

Several hours later:
The sun was bearing down beginning to warn the morning chill from the air as town car pulled into the alley outside of the pub. The driver stepped out and looked around before going to the back of the car and opening the door for one of the occupants.
Sturgis stepped out and looked around a little sneer at the less than pristine and perfect surrounding curling his lip, before his face smoothed out into a passive expression. He smiled coolly as his sons car turned into the other end of the alley and parked. The glare from the sun prevented the occupants of the vehicle from being seen clearly.
All that could be seen by the light fae leaders messenger was that the car had two occupants a male and female. "Right on time, Val. Good girl." Hale's father started to walk towards the car when his driver stopped him from going any further.
A huge underfae appeared at the end of the alley and literally ripped the drivers side door off of the car and yanked the male driver out of the car.
Revealing it to be Dyson who wolfed out partially, and slashes at the underfae's arm that is holding his arm and trying to pull the smaller fae up into the air by it.
Meanwhile the passenger door is yanked open by the hooded woman, Kenzi springs from the car to meet the attack though. Before Aife can even touch her Kenzi had the older woman by the shoulders and was pushing her forcefully back against the alley wall.
Dyson ducks under the swinging arm of the underfae and gets behind him to grab him by the arm and yank him back and to the ground. He punches him in the face several times before the underfae is finally knocked out.
Kenzi meanwhile felt the succubus reach up to grab the Elders wrist and flip their positions with her superior size before saying, "Now you're mine." but the warm pink glow didn't rise around her arm.
Instead Kenzi gave the older fae a smirk and said, "No actually I'm his." she said glancing over the succubus shoulder. The older woman barely had time to brace herself before she was ripped away from the younger woman and slammed a great deal more forcefully into the wall by a very angry and wolfed out Dyson.
"I owe you Aife." he snarled in her face, before a gently smiling Kenzi placed a calming hand on his shoulder. "But we have a promise to keep." he said with a dark grin. Turning the succubus to face the wall he quickly handcuffs her before marching her back to the car.
Vex is standing next to the driver, a disguised Tamsin who is holding a similarly handcuffed Sturgis and two other Light Fae Council members. "So take your mind whammy off them."
"Why should I do that?" the older succubus asked arrogantly.
"Because you like breathing," Dyson said wrapping his clawed hand around her throat. "And you'd like to continue to be able to do so." in a perfectly friendly tone.
Aife had enough survival instinct to look a little frightened but still tried to bluff it out by reminding them, "If you do that Bo is going to hate you and never forgive you."
"She already hates you Aife and after this I think you better be concerned about whether she's ever going to forgive you. Now remove the geas," Kenzi demanded in a deadly tone.
Dyson gives the older woman a single firm shake and she reaches out tentatively to grasp Sturgis arm. After a few seconds the white fae falls to the ground unconscious. The two other light fae leaders follow suit rather quickly.
Tamsin looks at them and says in a grouchy tone, "You couldn't have waited till they were back in the car to do that? Now I have to drag their heavy light fae asses back into the car. And yes madam Elder I do recognize the pun in the statement."
Kenzi merely smirked at the Valkyrie before she gave the Mesmer a glance and said, "Check and make sure she did what she was told." Vex didn't answer merely leaned over and took the wrist of each man and after a few minutes looked up at Kenzi and nodded.
He then helped Tamsin get the trio of light court members back into the back of the town car. "Take them home, Tamsin and we'll leave them to recover in their own time." Dyson said with affection as his partner climbed behind the wheel of the town car.
"You got it wolfy, not sure how this is all gonna work out but I got your back." With that she reversed back out of the alley, leaving the Mesmer, the succubus and the two shifters behind.
"Meet you back at the den then?" Vex asked. His two friends agreed and he took off back to the Den as the two wolves guided the succubus into the pub.
The customers didn't seem to pay attention to the odd trio that walked into pub and then into the back of the establishment before heading down the stairs. It took a few seconds for the succubus eyes to adjust to the comparative gloom of the basement apartment.
"Well, well, the families all here." she said, looking around at the assembled trio of fae. Then she corrected herself with a cutting tone, "Well, not quite, poor Mom, how she must be rolling in her grave to miss this family reunion. Right daddy?"
