4 MONTHS AGO
Kenzi woke up a week ago and was taken off most of the machines almost immediately. They still had some going that were measuring her vitals. One of the doctors had told her that she had to stay in bed rest for another week. Dyson and Tamsin had been in there to visit a bunch of times. She remembered the first time she saw them; it was a shock to see them both so banged up. They told her it was worse 3 weeks ago. Dyson filled her in on all of his injuries as well as Tamsin. The valkyrie was still in casts. Hale barely left her side. He told her what happened to Bruce. Everyone let her know that Bo was with her father and that was bad news, and there had been no sign or word of Lauren. Kenzi wanted to get up and run out of that fae make shift hospital. All her instincts told her she had to go save Bo and find Lauren. She refused to believe it was impossible to reach Bo and that there was no way to find Lauren. It was all a little ironic, she turned fae to save them and she was trapped in a bed because of it.
At the moment Dyson, Tamsin and Hale where all in her room, the door opened and Trick and Stella came in. He smiled at everyone as he walked over to the half breed fae. "Hi Kenzi it looks like from all the tests we ran that you are half pyrokines." Kenzi just looked at him blankly as if he told her something in an ancient language. "It seems that by Hale breaking the ceremony you actually became half fae. That is why you were able to survive the two days it took Hale to get you here. You were very lucky my friend, if he arrived after you most likely wouldn't have made it through the whole transformation."
Stella kept looking her up and down from head to toe. Almost as if she was some kind of science experiment, she walked around the bed to stand by Trick. "It's truly remarkable. By all the accounts I have read no one has survived this."
Dyson smiled as he limped over to his friend. "Looks like someone has plans for you Kenzi," the shifter was relieved that Hale was there. He couldn't think of the other outcome.
"It's all good peeps this is what Bo-bo and I do. We break all the rules. Screw the odds." She put all her attention on Trick. "Now let's cut the crap and get to the good shit. What can I do besides light rooms on fire which I can't even control?"
The Blood King couldn't help but laugh no matter how dire their circumstances were Kenzi always found a way to throw humor in it. He was glad he met this human, well once human. "Pyrokines have many abilities involving fire. You need to learn how to control your power and we will help you but it takes time Kenzi. Time means patience, something you and my granddaughter aren't known for."
She threw her hands up causing a fire on the ceiling before covering her mouth in that oops kind of look. Hale jumped up and grabbed the fire extinguisher putting it out as he gave her look that said, really. "Totally my bad," keeping her hands down this time she looked back over at Trick. "T-Man details on the power stuff."
"You can manipulate fire moving it to your will as well as creating fireballs that once you learn to control you can throw. You are now immune to fire yourself and can never be burned." Stella answered the new hybrid before Trick was able to say anything. Stella certainly loved all things fae. "You realize you are going to have to pick a side."
Kenzi made a face. "This is really a thing, every time you guys find a new fae its like BOOM pick a side. What if I do what Bo did and stay unaligned?"
Hale sat on her bed and put his hand over hers. "Mama Bo was lucky because of you. You saved her and she was able to beat her tests. Deciding not to pick wasn't the best idea because she is unprotected, you are only half fae you need the protection." He kissed her forehead in the week that she has been awake she talked to him about the last thing he said to her.
This began their very new relationship as Kenzi expressed the same feelings for him but never acted on them because the whole fae/human issue. She never told Hale but that was also the problem she had with Lauren. It was so easy for Bo and Lauren but she couldn't act on her feelings for Hale. Of course she knew now she shouldn't have taken it out on the doctor but she did. Kenzi knew she would find her and make it up to her.
"It was the start of many times you saved her Kenzi. Many times you saved all of us," the shifter added. "Least now you no longer have to worry about the Morrigan, you aren't completely human anymore." This was a relief to Dyson as he was sure it was to all of them.
"Yeah well what can I say nothing can stop the Kenzinator." She brushed off her one shoulder as she grinned at her friends. "Now back to Bo and Lauren, is there any news?"
Trick put his head down. He had tried everything for answers on either but came up almost empty. "We got some leads on Bo. We know her father was at her Dawning. Dyson filled us in on that and we know he hired Tamsin to kill Bo. It isn't like the Dark King to hide so I have to assume he is in some sort of barrier between worlds. We have no leads as how to get there or to save Bo."
Dyson put on his serious face, "Least we know where Bo is now we just have to save her. Lauren is the bigger issue. Trick has had so many people look for almost a month now and there is no sign of her."
"Thank you D but I don't except that answer. What she do just POOF vanish, who is she Harry Potter?" Kenzi was determined to find the doctor. She had to apologize for everything. For being so hard on her, for always pushing for Dyson, for thinking she wouldn't be able to protect any of them, and as it turns out she saved them more times than the hybrid realized. What she did saving Dyson showed exactly the type of person Hotpants was.
"Kenz, I know you don't want to hear it but it is possible the dark fae got her already. It's the only explanation." Hale hated telling Kenzi this especially in her fragile state but he didn't want her to get her hopes up for something that was most likely a lost cause already.
The Blood King patted Kenzi's bed, "We are going to go and let you get some rest. Soon as you regain some strength we will start practicing how to use your powers."
As everyone except Hale was leaving her room she yelled to them, "Getting better food would help. Pizza run would be nice with a side of liquor. Any kind not being picky."
They all chuckled to themselves as they walked out of the hybrids room. Least the group was starting to get together again. They had their work ahead of them trying to find Lauren and Bo was already proving to be more difficult than anyone had originally thought. Getting better was a priority for all of them especially Lauren, if the dark fae had her then time wasn't her friend.
DAL – PRESENT
Lauren was standing in front of Trick, "When do the tests begin?" She was using her telepathy and didn't sense anything. Since they walked in the Dal she looked all around and couldn't find any signs of a test.
"They already started," Trick stepped around her and went behind the bar. He wanted to see how this was going to play out. Even his own part, under the bar he had the equipment he needed to write with his blood. Now was the time to see what the seethe was capable of at 53%. He might not know when these enemy fae were going to attack or the numbers but he was certain it would be sometime soon. It made sense for an attack to happen before she would be able to regain full power.
Tamsin was still standing by Vex, Bo, Dyson, Kenzi and Hale. She took another shot and turned to the Blood King. He just nodded at her. The valkyrie put down her glass on the bar top and gave herself a little wake up shake. "Here it goes," she said as she approached Lauren who still had her back towards her.
The seethe felt someone approaching and turned to face the Valkyie's true face. Turning completely around she crossed her arms over her chest knowing this was one of many tests.
"You sure you want to be with Bo? Was she truly the succubus you wanted to be with or was it the human part of you that couldn't shake her? Was it Shay that you had your first connection with?" Tamsin was in full Valkyrie mood and she was going to go for what she knew would be the seethe's weakest spot. She was good at creating doubt and proud of it, definitely one of the best.
Bo threw her hands up, "Hey, kind of standing right here."
Trick leaned over the bar tapping his granddaughter, "Bo, we don't know the fae that want to kill her. There could be Valkyrie's in the mix and they might know you are her chosen mate. We need to test this now."
Bo slightly turned her head towards her grandfather not wanting to take her eyes off of her girlfriend. "Yeah I figured but did we have to start with me like minutes after I actually got her back?" Her grandfather shot her a shut up look and Bo huffed like a child and sat on a bar stool. She didn't notice Stella approach her as she was focused on Lauren.
"Bo might I have a word with you outside," Stella asked the brunette.
"Might it wait?" She didn't bother turning to face Stella her eyes were locked on the blonde.
"Now Bo," her grandfather added in.
Lauren was facing the Valkyrie as she spoke the words. The seethe smiled as she walked towards the Valkyrie and pulled a chair out. "How long you going to do this for? I'm just curious if I should sit or not?" Bo heard her girlfriend speak the words as she was walking out and smiled to herself that was her girl.
Tamsin put her regular face on and turned her head to look over her shoulder at the Blood King. "Can I just punch her instead?"
"Just keep trying Tamsin," the older fae urged.
Lauren was sitting in the chair and leaned to the side so she could see Trick. "You know Valkyrie mind games won't work on me right? Odin can't get into my head you think a Valkyrie can, he created them." When the Blood King didn't answer her she sat back in the seat knowing that he wasn't going to interfere with the assault. Probably assuming that Tamsin might eventually penetrate into her head. She was glad she had friends like this willing to try and test her strength.
OUTSIDE THE DAL
Bo was walking in front of Stella and finally stopped walking but the tall blonde walked past her even further away from the building. Bo just followed till Stella suddenly stopped and turned to look at Bo. "Your grandfather put together a series of tests for the seethe. Everyone in there is going to use there fae abilities on her at random. Sometimes two or more will attack at once. We made these plans while you two were together. Hale called Kenzi and filled her in since she will also be part of the assault. We also need you to use your succubus on her."
"What you're telling me is everyone is trying to kick my girlfriend's ass and find a weak spot? And I'm supposed to stand there and watch?" Bo had her hands on her hips even though she knew what her grandfather was doing she didn't know how she was going to watch this. "I'm just going to keep getting that girlfriend of the year award. It's my title like Meryl Strep to the Oscars."
"I'm not sure what reference you are referring to but yes that is the plan," Stella didn't bother with anything human not even their movies.
"Here is the problem if I go all full succubus on my girlfriend you guys are all going to see an x-rated movie in person." She knew when her eyes turned blue it reached out to Lauren's inner seethe. Thoughts of earlier trickled through her mind as she smiled to herself, this wasn't good now the desire was starting to build up in her. Thankfully she was broken from her thoughts as Stella snapped her fingers in front of her face. "Did you just snap in my face?"
Stella had that serious somber look on, "You zoned out, would you have preferred I hit you?" Since Bo didn't respond the tall blonde decided to continue, "What you're telling me then is if another succubus goes after Lauren she will not be able to resist them therefore giving them the upper hand?"
Bo couldn't put into words how much this woman annoyed her at times. She was happy her grandfather was happy but sometimes she wanted to kick the crap out of her. "No, not any succubus, this succubus in particular." Realizing that Stella wasn't going to back down and that meant Trick wouldn't back down Bo rolled her eyes, "Fine, I will attack my girlfriend, but I'm holding you both responsible." She didn't wait for her to respond instead she headed back into the Dal hoping Lauren didn't doubt her decision.
BACK INSIDE
The seethe got up from the chair and walked past the Valkyrie as she went to the bar. "I think I will have a glass of red wine," she said to Trick. Looking over her shoulder she saw Tamsin put her regular face back on.
The Valkyrie walked over to the bar, "Fuck it, bitch is strong."
Bo gave Lauren a soft kiss on the lips as she popped up beside her. "I was worried I was going to have to kick the old lady's ass again." Tamsin just threw a snort at the succubus. The brunette had to back away as she was hit with a high pitched siren whistle. Bo turned to Hale, "Really? While I was standing right there. Hello manners much?"
The blonde calmly sipped her red wine. She tilted her head towards the siren, "I'm sorry did you say something Hale?"
Hale chuckled as he shook his head. Lauren was definitely strong. He decided he would turn it up a notch. He gave his other friends a look and they put a lot of space between them and the seethe. The blonde didn't move she just kept sipping her wine. She wasn't even facing the siren anymore. He kicked it to the decibel he used when they first took Bo and left Kenzi on the street corner.
Lauren put her hand over her ear that was facing him. "It sounds like a high pitch whistle. Other than being irritating it isn't doing anything, sorry Hale." She couldn't help but laugh to herself. She wasn't trying to be a bitch by any means and she really appreciated what her friends were doing but she was immune to almost all fae powers.
"Damn girl, what does it take to break you? You have to have a weakness and we better find it before they do." Hale was shocked that his siren had barely any effect on the seethe. It seemed like everything the myths said were true and then some.
Trick met his granddaughter's eyes and gave her a slight nod. Bo understood what it meant, she was up. She walked behind the seethe and put her thrall on full effect as she touched her shoulder. Her hand glowed that soft red as it passed onto the seethe. "Want to tell me what you and Shay have done that I don't know about," she figured if she was going to have to use her abilities on her girlfriend she might as well make some use out of it.
The blonde put her hand on Bo's as she spun around the stool so she could face her. "No not really," she answered as she slid Bo's hand off of her shoulder.
The brunette loved a challenge and there were so few fae that were able to resist her thrall. Trying to use the chi that the seethe pushed into her with her father's powers she kicked up her thrall to its highest capacity. She straddled Lauren in the bar stool as she dipped in for a long hard kiss. While she was kissing her she slowly dragged her one hand up Lauren's arm. It started to shine red as Bo slowly pulled back from the kiss softly biting her lover's lower lip as she was pulling away. "Want to tell me now? I really need to know and I think you want to answer me."
Lauren appeared to be in a slight daze. "You won't be very happy."
Trying to suppress the jealousy building up inside her she touched Lauren's arm again keeping her thrall at the highest level she was able to achieve. "I really do." She kissed her neck from her shoulder blade, up her neck to behind her ear as she breathed, "tell me," into her ear.
The seethe leaned in and kissed Bo's jaw line before pulling her back into a kiss. Softly pulling away she leaned to the side of Bo's face, "No."
The succubus got off of her and hit her leg, "I thought I had you there."
Lauren let out a small chuckle, "For a second there you did." When she seduced her and used her thrall Lauren felt compelled to answer her question. It was thinking of the reaction Bo would have that made her break free from that trance.
"Care to answer it anyway?" The succubus figured it didn't hurt to try. She wasn't entirely sure she wanted to know but then there was that part of her that did.
The blonde spun back around on the stool, "Yeah, I'm going to stay with no. I don't ask about you and your ex's. I wouldn't want to hear it; I'm doing it for you Bo." She wanted her girlfriend to know she wasn't not answering to be mean she just didn't want to unnecessarily hurt her. Thinking of that she quickly added, "It really doesn't matter anyway she wasn't you. With you everything is better because I love you."
That satisfied the succubus as she was about to sit next to the blonde but realizing she didn't know what attack was coming next or from who she decided to sit a stool over. She finally noticed everyone in the Dal was fanning themselves. Oops she thought as she realized with the euphoria Lauren was sending out she just added extra heat on top of that.
The group all sat together no one moved or said anything for a few minutes. After what felt like an hour of silence Dyson cleared his throat, "Care to play a round of pool?"
"Sure, me and Lauren verse you and…"
"I will be his partner," Vex cut Bo off as he walked over to set up rack with the pool balls.
"And I guess Vex," Bo said as she waved her hand at the Mesmer as he passed by her.
Kenzi and Hale swiveled the bar stools around so they could watch the game. The hybrid watched as Bo and Lauren linked arms and went towards the pool table. She squinted her one eye she wanted to make sure she didn't hit Bo. When she was sure that Lauren wasn't paying attention she lifted her hand palm up and a fire started in her palm. Hale nodded at her and she threw the fireball at the seethes back. Lauren stepped to the left pushing her and Bo out of the way. The blonde put the fire out like she did when she first appeared back in their lives.
"Kinda hating on her right now," Kenzi said as she leaned against Hale.
Vex hit the pool balls breaking them up since none went in Lauren stood up to take a shot. When she was leaning over the pool table another fireball came hurling towards her head. She stood up and caught it in her hand. She turned her hand over opening it palms up as black smoke simmered up.
Kenzi leaned backwards on the bar talking to Trick without turning around. "How would you feel if I started a small fire in your bar?"
"NO," he just got his place back not that long ago no way was he going to let Kenzi burn it down.
"Thought so but figured I'd ask anyway. I have no other tricks without being able to start an actual fire and since you are being a party pooper I'm out."
"Sorry to disappoint you Kenzi," the Blood King decided now would be a good time for him to try his ability. He looked up to watch the four of them playing pool. They all seemed to be laughing and having a good time not even looking for another attack. He cut his hand under the bar and let the blood drip into a jar. Trick wrapped his hand and grabbed the pen and book. He sighed and closed his eyes hoping he wasn't doing something he would end up regretting. A seethe will maintain her ability to not develop feelings including ones that might have already come to pass. The Blood King watched his words come out across his book and looked up at Lauren.
He was relieved to see that she was still holding onto Bo. She looked up at him and shook her head as she grinned. He looked down at his book and watched the words disappear one at a time. He leaned over by Hale and Kenzi, "I'm officially impressed."
"How did those other fae get the jump on her? Should I attack her with a weapon?"
"NO," Trick and Hale said in unison. The thought of Kenzi running through the Dal with a weapon was a sight they didn't want to see.
She put her hands up innocently, "Just trying to help Trickster."
"Besides we have a weapon," he nodded his head at Dyson. The three of them looked over at him knowing it wouldn't be long till he turned into the wolf.
"Everyone was keeping their thoughts out of their head before the attacks, I'm presuming." Trick was starting to wonder if maybe they were tipping off the seethe ahead of time. He knew he didn't think anything till he started writing.
Kenzi cringed a little, "What? I thought I was going to hit Bo I had to think about the angle. Don't go all Scarface on me."
"I kept it out of my head till I hit her with the siren and got nada. She's good Trick."
Stella was listening to the conversation. "Maybe your granddaughter really is helping her with her power."
They all contemplated this as they continued to watch the four. Tamsin had her back towards the group playing pool and she winked at Hale. He tapped Kenzi's leg and they both moved down a stool. They knew the Valkyrie was going to kick it up to high gear using the strength she showed at Taft Industries when her and Bo got out of their little cell. She turned around and faced Lauren. The seethe lost her footing and wobbled slightly as Vex used his Mesmer ability on her. Grabbing at her foot that she lost coordination on, the seethe started to go down. Vex looked at Tamsin and gave his new partner a smile as her face returned to normal.
This was killing Bo to watch them attack her. She had to close her eyes because this was going against everything her mind, body and heart were telling her to do. Every ounce of her screamed to help Lauren to do something to jump in there but she knew she couldn't.
Lauren hit the ground flat on her back and Dyson wasted no time. His eyes turned yellow as his canines grew. He stood over Lauren and leaned down to grab her by her shirt lifting her up to his face. The shifter went to throw her and Vex used his ability to grab her and intensify the throw. Lauren was about to hit the wall when she stopped inches from it. Her eyes radiated that emerald green as she slowly landed back on her feet. Tamsin, Dyson and Vex were all pulled right to her. Vex went to lift his hand but it quickly shot down at his side. "Guess the party is over love." He couldn't help himself. Dyson felt his teeth go back to normal as his eyes returned to their true color. He knew he didn't shift back which meant Lauren forced him back to his normal appearance.
The seethe released her hold on them. "The floor? It had to be the floor? Come on guys." She wasn't going to hurt her friends but she had to show them she was able to stop the attack. Tamsin was kneeling on the floor and stood up cutting across Lauren's waist with a small knife. The blonde looked down at the deep cut as the blood spilled over. "Not the clothes, I already lost one outfit."
Trick hated seeing this but it was a necessary evil her enemies weren't going to show mercy so they couldn't either the attacks had to intensify as the training went on. If the seethe showed weakness or injury they all agreed to attack harder and faster. That's exactly what was happening now as Dyson shifted back. With his yellow eyes, grown teeth and claws he swiped at Lauren who put her arm up suffering deep wounds from the shifter. Vex put his hand out forcing Lauren to put her arm behind her back. Bo stepped back and turned around. She actually felt like she was going to throw up. The whole Dal felt like it was spinning. She knew why they were doing it but it didn't mean she had to like it or watch it.
Hale stepped off the bar stool as he hit a high level with his siren. It would kill most fae but he knew the seethe was not like other fae. She winced a little at the high pitch sound and showed no other signs that it was affecting her. Tamsin put her Valkyrie face back on kicking it up to high gear once again. Lauren dodged the fireball that came at her head. Suddenly Tamsin went flying back into Hale as they both went down to the floor. Her one hand was still behind her back as she faced Vex lifting the Mesmer into the air. Dyson watched as the former dark fae went flying into him. They hit the pool table and flipped over it.
Lauren looked down at her wounds. "Babe, I need a power up."
She didn't have to ask twice Bo stepped in front of her. The blonde quickly pulled Bo to her knowing that another attack was going to happen within moments. She was impressed that everyone was keeping their thoughts out of their minds. She forcefully claimed Bo's mouth with hers as she tightly wrapped her arms around the brunette's waist pulling her as close against her as she could. The kiss only deepened before she pulled back allowing the swirling chi to go from her to Bo. It was the combination of her green chi mixed with Bo's blue one but it was magnified in this particular moment. As if it was glowing. She felt the wounds stop bleeding as they slightly closed. The power and energy felt like it was flowing throughout her entire body. Bo felt it too as if her need and desire grew. The euphoria that usually accompanies Lauren's chi was always intoxicating but this time it was enhanced by a hundred. Everything was hitting her at once, strength, power, desire, pleasure, ecstasy, craving, hunger, need and passion. It made her light headed she thought her knees were going to give out when suddenly Lauren pushed Bo behind her back as she blocked a fireball and deflected it towards Tamsin and Hale as they were standing up.
Seeing the fireball come at them Hale pulled Tamsin out of the way. Dyson went charging after Lauren coming from her right. She stood her ground without even moving as she forced his claws back in. Vex stood and pointed towards her and Lauren easily pulled him over the pool table. The shifter continued to try and run towards the seethe but he felt like he was running in place. He knew she had him locked in place with her telekinesis.
Trick walked around from the bar, "Enough."
With that everyone stopped, Dyson tripped over his own feet that's how hard he was trying to break through her telekinesis. Vex stood up and flipped his hair back. Hale got up giving Tamsin a hand as he pulled her to her feet. Kenzi walked over to the siren. They all apologized to Lauren letting her know they were making sure she was in fighting shape and testing her reflexes. She apologized to them as well for having to throw them around but if she didn't she was going to keep getting her ass handed to her.
"They got a few attacks in nothing that seemed to stop you. Did everyone keep their thoughts out of their mind?" The Blood King was addressing them all.
The blonde was happy that the attack was over. "Kenzi only thought she was going to hit Bo with the fireball when I was first walking away with Bo and Dyson. Other than that no one thought anything."
Stella was thoroughly impressed, "No one thought anything and you were still able to keep ahead of the whole group?"
She wasn't the only one impressed as all eyes were on Lauren. "It's like a sixth sense for a seethe. Sometimes you don't have to think about the attack but we can sense something is off. I am stronger now than I was when I was originally attacked. Now we just have to hope that there are only seven of them in the group." Lauren looked down at the cut on her waist it was still open although the bleeding was nonexistent as if she cauterized the wound. The ones on her arm matched the one on her waist. She leaned into Bo, "I'm going to need to heal."
Bo smiled as she glanced at her lover. "Dr. Lewis I was starting to think you would never ask. Finally get you to myself."
"See that and it only took a few wounds." The blonde joked about the situation.
"Lauren I hope you understand why I had to do that. I am sorry you were harmed but I know you have a way to heal. You were able to prevent almost all the attacks suffering little damage considering the raising level of strength and aggression." Trick really did feel bad that she suffered some wounds but he had to know. He was confident if they could get the information and learn of when the attack was going to happen all of them together with Lauren would have the upper hand. As much as he hated to admit it the help of the dark fae would also give them an advantage. The Morrigan was strong as were the succubi that Lauren was with. Shay herself fought with the Dark King she would be a strong player. "What about a succubus. I see that you put your chi into Bo but what if she was to try and take it from you without you giving it?"
"If she tried to take my chi without me willingly giving it she would start to choke. It would feel like the air was ripped out of her lungs as her throat started closing." Bo made a mental note to never try and do that.
"What if you willingly allowed Bo to pull it from you?" Stella couldn't help ask she found all the things she was learning about a seethe to be deeply interesting.
"I would imagine the same thing that happens when I allow it, I have never tried it."
That caught Bo's attention, "Never in all the thousands of years that you have been around?"
Lauren found the succubus incredibly sexy when she seemed intrigued. Who was she kidding she always found Bo hot and sexy and those outfits she wore didn't help any. "Never," she said seductively in her lover's ear.
The temptation was too much for the succubus as she stood in front of the seductive seethe. Bo slipped her arms around Lauren's waist pulling her close. Her eyes were shining that bright blue. This was the first time she was going to do this to Lauren as a seethe and it turned her on a little as if she was overpowering the strong seethe. The blonde leaned in to kiss her and Bo backed up a little letting her know this time it was her who was in control. Lauren leaned back and drew her bottom lip into her mouth letting it slide out from her upper teeth as her eyes screamed with hunger. Bo just wanted to savior this minute for a moment longer. Her lips crashed into the blondes as her tongue glided into her mouth. It was raw, teeth and tongue clashing together at a fast heavy pace. It was Bo's turn to be the one to pull back and when she did something unexpected happened. It wasn't the blue chi or their combination chi. Instead it was mainly emerald green like Lauren's eyes when she was in full seethe mode and there was a few streaks of electrifying blue.
The succubus was only able to hold the flow for a minute maybe two before she broke it off and fell into Lauren's arms. Bo had a gigantic smile on and her eyes remained that piercing blue. The seethe looked at her as her eyebrows rose in slight concern. "Bo, are you okay?" She said the words so softly that only Bo would have heard them.
The brunette pulled herself together and started to stand on her own. She had one hand on Lauren to steady herself. "WOW, I MEAN LIKE WOW. COMPLETELY WOW." The succubus still had her one hand on Lauren's shoulder and was leaning over talking as she faced the floor. Pulling herself upright she stumbled back a little and Lauren caught her by the elbow. Her eyes were still blue. "That was like nothing, I mean nothing, I have ever felt before."
"Glad you liked it I guess," the blonde was entertained by her girlfriend.
Bo was still trying to pull herself back together. "No seriously I mean it was, just wow. When that happened I heard everyone's thoughts for a hot second there." As if she realized something she forgot before she turned to her friends finally getting a hold of that goofy smile. "Seriously you all picture Lauren doing some pretty bad things. If that wasn't so incredible I'd be a little more upset." Her eyes were still glittering blue.
Everyone shuffled their feet a little. It was hard to control their thoughts around the seethe and it was embarrassing enough that Lauren got a vivid image of what they were thinking but now Bo did too. Naturally Stella was the first one to pull it together. "That is amazing Bo so while you did that to Lauren it was as if you were able to sort of tap into her powers?"
"Yeah, but only in that moment, as soon as I pulled away it was gone." Bo caught her breath as she felt like she was breathless from that. She pulled away because she felt like she was going to explode with ecstasy and pleasure. It was a massive amount of exhilaration.
"I wonder if that would happen with any succubus or just Bo," Trick said his thoughts out loud he knew Lauren would have read them but he figured the rest of the group should as well.
"Let's not find out gramps," Bo retorted.
While Bo was talking to her grandfather Lauren looked down at her waist. The wound seemed more healed then it was before and the ones on her arm seemed better as well. They were still open but less than they were before it was as if she had loose clear invisible stitches and the doctor just needed to pull the threading tight like shoelaces. She touched Bo's waist, "Don't worry no other succubus would find out." She kissed her shoulder tenderly.
Bo looked down at her girlfriends wounds. "Let's go heal you." She leaned over her shoulder, "Are we done with the training?"
"Yes you should go home and heal. Get plenty of rest I will call you tomorrow. Again I am sorry Lauren." Trick was impressed by what he just saw. The seethe was able to handle multiple attacks at once and even when it seemed they had the upper hand it only took moments for her to regain the control. What he just witnessed with Bo was interesting to him as well he never read anything about that in the books.
"Um, yeah, can you not call too early," Bo gave her grandfather a look that said don't make me say why. He nodded in an uncomfortable understanding.
Right when they were reaching the door Kenzi caught up to the two of them. "Nice job there Hotpants, I'm going to stay at Hale's tonight. Let you two get down and dirty. I'll move my things in tomorrow afternoon."
"She was serious about moving in?" the blonde asked as the approached her bike.
"Have you met Kenzi? You gave her a bedroom to herself that has a TV and a pretty large closet even if it isn't the size of yours. You're not getting rid of her." Before she put the helmet on she added, "Better perfect those injections Dr. Lewis." They got on her bike and headed back to her place.
LAUREN'S PENTHOUSE WHILE THE TRAINING WAS GOING ON
The mention of Odin made Deco completely freeze. The bag he was holding slipped through his fingers and hit the pavement. He never even felt his hold on the bag weaken.
Deco spun around to face the person who just spoke to him. He knew the guy standing behind him was fae. Deco looked up the strange new fae he was around 5'8", with a medium frame, messy short black hair, and hazel eyes that almost had specs of gold to them. Cautiously he walked towards the new stranger.
Cedric stepped towards the taller fae. He was a few inches taller than Cedric and looked like he spent a lot more time in a gym. He kept his dark brown hair with short spikes and had light green eyes. Cedric stopped walking and put his arms behind his back crossing them as he spoke, "Odin sent me to seek you out."
The bigger fae was stunned he hadn't heard that name in what felt like forever ago. "Odin is alive?" He seemed to question this statement.
"Yes, he was banished to another realm when I believe you were a general in his army. As he tells it you were the first to arrive at the scene of where his assumed death took place." Cedric watched the man's facial expressions as he seemed skeptical in trusting the smaller fae. "If you require further proof I can let you know that I am now currently living my seventh life for that is how many times he has killed me and brought me back."
Between Cedric knowing about his place in Odin's army and being the first to arrive at the bloody battle scene combined with knowing Odin's anger seemed to be enough evidence for him. "If he is in another realm, what does he want with me?"
Cedric took a small step closer to him, "He plans on coming back and wants to know if you wanted your old position back, General?"
