We learn how Nadia killed her ex and kids.**
Nadia
Nadia was sitting on a sheet with her back against her cell wall. Her chin was resting on her knees as she sat in silence. She was pissed off. She didn't deserve to be here. She was even more pissed off at her lawyer for not getting her released. She would fire her, if she was charging her for her services. She was pissed at wasting her time and all of those years on Lauren. She was pissed at her ex who reminded her of Lauren.
Her name was Valerie. They had been together for years. Valerie had kids of her own and Nadia didn't mind. They had everything that they ever wanted or needed. Nadia wasn't getting much work as an amateur photographer, so she boxed on the side. Her opponents were always smaller than she was. The audiences were scarce, but it didn't hurt her purse.
"We need to talk". Valerie said from the couch. It was another late night and Nadia had just walked in. She walked over to the couch and leant over to kiss Valerie but she moved away.
Nadia sat down and tried again, but Valerie used her hand this time to push her away. "What's wrong?
"I'm leaving you. We are leaving you". Valerie said.
"You're not serious". Nadia sighed in relief. She was expecting something earth shattering had happened.
"I am serious. You are never home and when you are, you are either eating or fucking me". Valerie said.
"You can't leave. You don't have any money and in case you have forgotten, I am the only one in charge of our checking account". Nadia said putting her feet up on the coffee table.
"I don't need money. I have packed up the kids and we are leaving, tonight". Valerie said. Her kids were standing in the kitchen and had been ordered not to come out of there. Her son was 4 and her daughter was 5.
"You can't leave me and you won't. Nobody has ever left me". Nadia said pushing the power button on the tv remote. She sighed as her head hit the soft pillow behind it.
"That's what you think". Valerie said as she stood up to grab her kids to leave. Before she even got close to the kitchen Nadia had thrown her against the wall. Once she hit the floor, Nadia struck her over and over again with some exercise weights.
"I told you, you weren't going to leave me". Nadia said as the woman slowly died. Nadia checked her pulse and grabbed something out of a closet before she went into the kitchen.
"Hey you guys how about some milk and cookies? Nadia smiled waving the little boy and girl over. She walked to the cabinets to grab some small plates and glasses.
The kids never took a seat but kept their heads bowed. Nadia put some cookies on the table and went back to pour the milk, once she was done she gave them both a glass full. She sat at the table and talked to them as they consumed the cookies and used the milk to wash them down. After ten minutes they were both curled up on the floor, she checked their pulses and walked out of the house, never to return again.
Nadia took a deep breath and exhaled it. The next thing she knew she was on her feet, and it wasn't her doing.
"Since you like to throw people around, I thought you might enjoy it, if it was happening to you". Sasha laughed as she entered the room.
"What are you doing here? Nadia asked coldly.
"Consider me a genie. I am here to grant a few wishes. A lot of them in fact". Sasha as she lifted her hands and threw Nadia against wall, after wall. Nadia groaned on the floor.
"Get up big bad woman. Lets see if you can fight someone your own size. I will even let you throw the next punch". Sasha laughed. She wasn't even using any of her Fae powers. She didn't need to. The Fae were monsters but they were never women beaters or baby killers.
Nadia stood up and cracked her knuckles. She didn't even bother to try and stop the blood from dripping from her nose. Cracking her neck, she readied for her first move. "You have no idea what you've started".
"Oooo hurt me. I'm so scared". Sasha laughed. Putting her hands behind her back, she watched as Nadia lunged for her. She never flinched nor blinked.
Nadia's punches were tickling Sasha more than they were hurting her. Having enough she leveled the boxer to the point that Nadia was now bleeding from her lips. When Nadia threw another punch, Sasha tossed her against the wall and punched her in the face when she bounced off of it. Nadia was back on the ground. She figured if she layed still the woman would leave her be. But no such luck.
"This will happen for the rest of your miserable life. There are plenty of women in here and in the prisons strong enough to kick your ass whenever they feel like it. You won't die in here. Not yet. You won't even be given sheets in case your punk ass thinks of taking the easy way out. We saw the Medical Examiner's pictures of Valerie and her kids. By the time your human life is over, you will have suffered a fate much worse than that. All of this is compliments of Aife and anyone that has ever lost family members like Valerie's family did. You will stand trial and lose. Lauren knows about your pathetic summons, personally I can't wait to see what she says when she comes. I will have a front row seat for that". Sasha explained as she let the woman's head go and heard it slam into the floor.
Dyson
Dyson had been tracking Aife for almost a full day. He went to the Dal to grab some of her old clothes to try and find her scent. She was his biggest lead for finding Bo. More importantly for finding Lauren.
Even though Lauren is now free. She still needed to pay for not saving the Ash. She was their best Doctor. Dyson knew that but would never admit to it publicly. An Elder like that dying was still punishable by death. Every human had been put to death when a Fae died because of their actions. Lauren would be no different.
Dyson knew quite a few Elders. They would never tolerate her living, especially among them knowing what she did and could have prevented. So once he found her, and turned her in, Bo would be his forever.
He was now running behind the scent of Aife's he could detect. He smiled knowing he was closing in.
Bo and Lauren
Bo had woken up and noticed she and Lauren had switched positions during the night. She also noticed that she was in a satin robe. She was spooning Lauren. She tried not to breathe for fear of waking the Doctor.
A Fae could go for days without needing much sleep. Lauren is not a Fae. She is human. Something that has never bothered or offended Bo, like it did most of the Fae.
Lauren's warmth during the night and whenever they held each other was like a nursery rhyme to a child. Something comforting and reassuring.
She closed her eyes and thought of the moments they had so far. The first time she pulsed Lauren and watching as it had no effect on the Doctor. It did rile up her Succubus though. Like it was riling her up right now with every breath Lauren took.
She had never felt this way about anyone before. They hadn't felt this way about anyone before. Lauren could wake her Succubus up and put her to bed. Every time she looked at Lauren, they both wanted to growl, and here the Doctor was, cuddled in their arms. Bo finally exhaled and it felt wonderful.
For as long and as much as she wanted Lauren the first time, she had always feared her Succubus would drain her. She mentally kicked herself for that now because they could have had many nights in her bed or in Lauren's lab or loft. She licked her lips wanting the Doctor right now. But no.
This wasn't the time. Over the years, she could get anyone to sleep with her. Sometimes she never needed to pulse them to get into her bed. But this was different. She would wait until Lauren wanted her again. She could jump out of bed and go and have anyone that she saw, but none of them would light up her eyes like the Doctor could and did every time she looked at her. Even now as she slept. She smiled and bit her lip at remembering Lauren's taste. Even her scent was delicious.
Lauren was starting to stir. She remembered falling asleep with Bo in her arms. The small amount of skin that she felt warm against hers felt a little cool now. She blinked and noticed she was facing the opposite direction and felt a warm arm, gently tighten around her.
Slowly rolling over, Bo's arm moved to let the Doctor turn around to face her.
"Good morning". Bo smiled softly.
"Good morning". Lauren said clearing her throat. Bo looked so beautiful as the sun cascaded through the window.
"Did you sleep well? Bo asked rubbing Lauren's back.
"I did. However it doesn't look like you did". Lauren said noting Bo's robe.
"I wanted you to be comfortable and I wasn't sure if you still wanted me to be sleeping in my underwear, in your bed". Bo said shyly.
"Bo of course I wouldn't have minded. I was the one that insisted that you sleep that way. That you sleep here. And it was only sleep". Lauren said.
"Only". Bo sighed.
"Bo. I know. I know it was not easy for someone with your nature to only sleep". Lauren said taking one of Bo's hands.
"I am not going to lie and say that I don't want you. Every minute of the day, but the next time we make love, it will be your call". Bo said gently shaking Lauren's hand.
Lauren swallowed and tried not to blush. Bo was looking at her so hungrily that it was starting to concern her.
"Bo have you fed this morning? Lauren asked.
"I'm not hungry like that. Surprisingly". Bo answered.
Lauren squinted and it tickled Bo.
"Seriously Doctor of mine, I'm fine". Bo said.
"Bo we need to talk". Lauren said.
"I thought we were talking". Bo cooed pulling Lauren closer.
Lauren was the one to bite her lip this time. She needed to tell Bo about Nadia and knew it was going to upset the Succubus. "Lets order some room service".
"You got it babe". Bo said and cringed at the nickname. Lauren wasn't her babe. Not yet. She wasn't even sure she was her lady either. But she never took Lauren as someone that would share her bed in any capacity if it didn't mean something to the Doctor. It meant so much to Bo, but again they were living on Lauren's time. She wouldn't rush or push her.
Twenty minutes later their food arrived and they had already plated what they wanted. They pretty much ordered everything on the menu. Bo wanted Lauren to get enough to eat. She often wondered how much the Ash fed her. It pissed her off not knowing. The most she had seen Lauren eat to date was beer nuts at the Dal. That wasn't a meal.
Bo had finished her first plate and wiped her mouth with a napkin as she watched Lauren attack her own plate. She sipped on her coffee and patiently waited for her chance.
"I'm sorry". Lauren said with a mouthful of food.
Bo waved her off. "It's ok. Take your time".
Lauren felt bad but was starving and finished up her third plate.
"Are you ok? Bo asked gently as she watched Lauren look around the room.
"I'm fine. I just don't know how to start". Lauren said.
"Well lets go start a fire and we can get comfortable on the couch". Bo said noticing Lauren was shivering slightly.
The women cleaned up the table and pushed the cart into the hall for collection. Both dressed in their underwear and robes, they were still comfortable and Bo built a nice fire. Lauren made a fresh pot of coffee and carried it to the small coffee table. Bo sat on the couch, waiting for her to join her. She stood up when Lauren had reached the couch.
"Better? Bo asked.
"Yes I am. Thank you". Lauren smiled.
"You're welcome Lauren". Bo smiled pouring coffee for the both of them.
Lauren moaned as she swallowed the first sip. She was a bit better. A lot warmer that was for sure. Bo's kindness and caring, was warming her up too.
"So what did you want to talk about? Bo asked sitting back on the couch.
Lauren exhaled deeply and prepared herself. "Aife called me yesterday. Nadia wants me to testify".
"What the fuck?! You don't have to Lauren. You never have to see that bitch ever again, if you don't want to". Bo snapped. The freaking nerve of Nadia asking Lauren to testify.
"Bo I do have to go, and before you ask, no I don't want to see her. I never wanted to see her again". Lauren said.
"Maybe you can testify by video? Something so that you wouldn't have to be there physically". Bo said.
"No. Even though I don't want to see her, I won't do that. I will go in person. She has obviously thought of me as a coward. I will go and show her that I am not". Lauren said.
"Ok Lauren. I will support you on this, but you let me know if you change your mind. She has balls to do this and if she really had em, I'd love to kick her in them". Bo snapped.
Lauren took all of Bo in. Her face. Her body. Her eyes. She looked flushed but strong. "Thank you".
"No. Don't thank me Lauren. You deserve better than this. Better than her. I hope what you deserve is me". Bo said and blushed after the words left her mouth.
"Bo...". Lauren started.
"Please listen to me? Bo interrupted.
"Ok". Lauren nodded for the Succubus to talk.
"I love you Lauren. Yes I am still new at this but I know I do. I know she does too. I think that's why I haven't needed to feed since last night. I don't think it was the injection you used either. I think it was her and our need and wanting to taste your chi. I have never tasted chi like yours. But it's not only that, it's everything about you. I know it. I feel it. You are a good woman and most importantly, you are good for us". Bo said with tears in her eyes and pointing at herself to indicate she was talking on behalf of her Succubus too. Lauren smiled when her eyes flashed blue and back to brown.
Lauren moved over and wiped Bo's tears.
"Bo. I love you too but I am still dealing with Nadia and the fallout from that. You do deserve someone good, and I hope it's me, but after hearing that she wants me to testify, things could get a lot nastier. I know you are going to support me, but I have no idea what is going to happen. It's not fair to you to ask you to sit back while all of this plays out". Lauren said softly.
"I'm not going anywhere Lauren. I don't care how long it takes, we are in this together". Bo said holding Lauren's hand as tightly as she could.
Lauren took some deep breaths and sighed into Bo's welcoming hug. The women sat like that for the longest time. Bo was still so wired it was taking all of her strength to hold her Succubus back. She was ready to go. Ready to kick Nadia's ass if she got the chance to. But this wasn't about her, or Nadia. It was about Lauren. To make sure Lauren was ok and comfortable in Bo's world. She was already Bo's life.
So she needed to protect her. As wonderful as their lives had been living in a penthouse, she wouldn't keep Lauren pent up any further. As much as they were relaxed, going back home was going to throw the both of them into chaos. Not only Nadia's trial but the Fae world too. Bo had always been afraid of her Succubus but for Lauren, she would use her wherever and whenever she needed to, to protect her. She could feel her Succubus stirring and knew she agreed.
The Dal
Trick was busier than usual. It seemed every Fae that he knew of in the colony was thirsty tonight. He had to call in a few of them to help him serve the others.
"I wonder if your head will pop off, if you run around fast enough". Aife laughed as she sat at the bar with a fresh beer in her hand.
"What are you doing here? I know you are not going to pay for that beer". Trick groaned as he set four cocktail glasses on a tray.
"I'm waiting for your dog to come and fetch me. I actually want him to". Aife laughed.
"Dyson is not a dog, he's a wolf". Trick groaned.
"He smells like a dog and sleeps around like a bitch. He's a dog". Aife laughed.
Trick shook his head and walked to the other end of the bar. The longer he stood in front of or near the Succubus, the longer she would taunt him.
The crowd grew louder and raunchier. Aife was amused watching all of the men trying to impress their dates or escorts. She drank beer after beer, and Trick was right, she didn't pay for any of them.
Aife's Succubus stirred, and she smiled. Turning towards the door, she watched the wolf walk in. He hadn't seen her yet as she was blanketed by Fae dancing.
Dyson's patience got the better of him and he growled. He knew Aife was here, he just didn't see her yet.
"Dyson! I do have customers! Trick screamed over the noise. He wasn't a tall man but his voice could be deep when he needed it to be.
"Where is she? Where is that bitch Succubus? Dyson growled.
"Which one? The Succubus growled in response.
Aife grinned wide when she looked at the door. There stood Lauren and Bo. Bo's eyes were a deep ocean blue.
"Careful what you ask for dog! Aifes screamed over the ruckus crowd. Some were running in every direction after seeing Bo.
"Bo! Bo it's me, Dyson! Dyson screamed.
"Do I look like Bo? The Succubus growled. Her voice broke all of the glasses people were holding in their hands.
"Sweetie, Aife is here. Lets go sit with her ok? Lauren said gently and watched as the Succubus nodded. Her eyes still flashing blue but she remained in control as she held on to Lauren's hand.
"No Bo! Don't go to Aife. Come to me! Dyson growled.
"Yes Isabeau. Come and sit. Mama has so much to tell you". Aife laughed.
"No! Dyson growled as he ran towards the bar and more importantly to him, Bo.
Lauren pushed the Succubus out of the way just as Dyson was shifting and clocked him with a barstool. Shattering it.
"As I was saying we have a lot to talk about". Aife laughed as Trick went to clean up the mess.
TBC
Aife tells Bo everything and the Succubus explodes.
Kenzi finds the gang, but doesn't like what she finds.
Nadia's trial is pushed up at Lauren's insistence.
