Kenzi
Kenzi was screwed and she knew it. As much as she wanted to go after Bo, she couldn't even jump into a cab like she wanted to. There was nothing she could do. If Trick was still alive, she was sure she could find a way to get him to reverse Lauren's spell on her, but he is not alive. Dyson either. Every Fae she trusted was nowhere in sight. Even her favorite Fae.
She wished she had studied up on the Fae like Trick and Lauren often did. Kenzi wasn't a book freak. She was a get your hands dirty freak. That's how she was able to pick so many pockets. She'd flash her girlish smile and they wouldn't think she was the perpetrator.
She was starting to wonder how long Lauren was going to keep her like this. She could see people but they can't see or hear her. The Fae weren't cowards but even they would be shocked by her current predicament. She bowed her head. She would come up with something. She always did.
"You won't be getting out of there anytime soon". Lauren said. Kenzi flinched when she heard her. It was like when you know a monster is around, but you just don't know when or where they are going to strike.
Aife, Bo, Albert and Stephen.
"Take off! Aife screamed.
"Yes ma'am". The stewardess screamed back.
"How fast can this thing go? Bo asked.
"Not fast enough to send us into smithereens". Aife said.
"I have to get there mom. Now". Bo squirmed in her seat.
"I know sweetie. But we have to be careful, we can heal as Fae, but we can't come back if our bodies are sliced in half". Aife said tapping Bo on her leg to calm her down.
To be honest she was anxious too. What the hell had been going on in Berlin? How did Lauren sneak in and nobody noticed or notified the Queen? Heads were going to roll if they knew, and didn't tell her.
"You know this is your fault". Stephen snapped from his seat directly across from Bo.
"Stephen". Albert said softly.
"I'm sorry Grandfather but it is. Lauren wouldn't have needed a reason to flee had Bo for once stuck up for her". Stephen snapped again.
"What are you talking about? I didn't cause Lauren to flee to Berlin. Hell I would have gone with her, but she just vanished. Literally into thin air. I had no way of knowing she had left the colony". Bo fired back.
"But you allowed her to walk away. You didn't try to stop her, all you wanted to do was protect Kenzi from the ass kicking she obviously deserved". Stephen said sitting forward. He wanted to make sure Bo saw his eyes, and how pissed off he really was.
"This is not helping anything". Albert said softly. Truth is he didn't know the extent of Stephen's powers yet, and he didn't want them fighting on an airplane of all places.
"Albert's right. We need to stay calm. It's not going to help Lauren". Aife said pulling Bo back against her seat.
The young Succubus sat back and stared at Stephen until he stopped looking at her. She turned to look out the window. He was right. She had let Lauren walk away. She didn't run after her. Yes Lauren threw her, but she wasn't so wounded that she couldn't walk or run.
She loves Lauren so deep down in her soul, it feels like Lauren is her soul. She didn't feed out of her commitment to the Doctor. She had gone home, gone to bed, and the next thing she knew, Lauren was feeding from her and feeding her at the same time.
That's when she saw the bullshit that was going on in Berlin. They were attacking Lauren, but she was standing her own, until she took a seat and said she would be waiting for them. Then then connection cut off.
She had no idea what they were about to walk into, but it was time for Bo to unequivocally show and prove that Lauren is her priority. Her love. She had to be on her best game and make sure that Lauren knows that deep down in her own soul.
"I love Lauren. You will see". Bo said staring at Stephen again.
"I'm not the one you need to show or convince. But then again I have already seen where you and Lauren are headed. I just won't tire myself out trying to see how your candyass is going to get the both of you there. That is, if Lauren still wants you now". Stephen laughed.
Bo shuddered like she'd been punched. She hadn't thought that Lauren could be angry with her still. Why would she feed from her and feed her, if she didn't still want her? But that's how Lauren had always been, loyal and a Doctor. They weren't officially over yet, but that didn't mean Lauren would stop caring. Bo had been wounded when she threw her to the ground. The Doctor in Lauren would remember that and use her powers to feed Bo, but what about the the lover in Lauren? Bo sighed and looked out the window again.
Aife was stewing herself. She had taken her eyes off of Berlin and Lauren had snuck in. If Lauren could do that, ofter Fae or anyone could. So not only was she going to have to deal with the backstabbing Succubus there, but possible intruders as well. Things were out of order and the Succubus didn't like it. She thought like Bo. Possibly pushing the plane to it's full speed, but thought better of it, and sunk back into her own seat.
Lauren and the Succubus
"Stop. Stop. We can't take much more! Dina screamed in full grown agony.
Lauren had beaten crap out of all of them, over and over again. When asked why she was being so relentless, Lauren answered it was practice. The scary part wasn't being thrown around, it was wondering when she was going to stop and stop smiling. She was definitely a Colgate kid, Dina thought.
Lauren had found another spot to sit and did so happily. The Succubus were still struggling to leave. She had them pinned down in the same spot. She started whistling and it infuriated Dina.
"We don't owe you anything. We obey Queen Aife and that's it". Dina snapped angrily.
"Now lil ole me was just walking down the street when Emma showed up, then Avery...and then...". Lauren laughed.
"This is our country. You are an intruder". Dina said.
"I know Queen Aife better than you do". Lauren teased.
"She won't like this shit at all". Dina groaned once again trying to break Lauren's thrall.
"We'll see who she believes". Lauren smiled and went back to sight seeing. It is a gorgeous night out. Something she hadn't noticed the last time they were there. But she was enjoying the view and air now.
She stood up and stretched her legs. Walking through the bodies scattered in the streets, she took in the skyline.
She looked behind her and smiled. "Here comes your Queen".
"Now you're in for it". Dina snapped.
"Is Dina your mouthpiece? I thought Avery was? Lauren laughed bending over Emma.
Emma groaned. If she could get up Lauren wouldn't be so cocky. She would show the young Fae what being a Succubus is really like. However it was embarrassing how she took out just about every Succubus in the area. She was sure word would be spreading and help would be coming to their rescue. For weeks, they had no idea where the Queen had gone or if she was coming back soon. Aife has never been a nice woman. But she did pretty much leave them be, until they pissed her off.
"Would you please shut up!? I'm listening to nature". Lauren snapped over shoulder. The Succubi were all groaning and struggling to move.
Lauren tired of it and snapped her fingers. "Don't think about it". She said as they were closing in on her.
"Lets retreat and regroup. We will come back for this baby Fae". Dina groaned. She needed to heal to be at full strength. But Lauren was not going to leave Berlin without seeing them again.
"Finally I can get back to my night". The Doctor laughed as she started a slow stroll down the street. She never flinched at the sounds of feet running. Let them go. Do whatever it is they do here. She was going to enjoy this trip. No matter what lay in front or back of her.
She sensed Bo was on her way too, but that didn't bother her. For once Bo would look for her, and not the other way around like Lauren had been doing after their first night together. Lauren had gone to all of Bo's haunts, and never found her. She even tried a few of Kenzi's favorites. The Succubus didn't want to be found, or talk since she was also ignoring her calls too.
She shrugged and turned her attention back to the sites. She could almost live here, but this wasn't home. Home was were the Fae would pay. Pay for making her feel like shit for years, knowing she was one of them. Even if it was only Trick's doing, it was still the Fae's doing in her eyes. The only ones immune to her disgust are Bo and Aife. She didn't think either were so selfish that they would hold that information from her. Even if she wasn't close with Aife, she seemed to despise the men in the Fae world. Which probably brought her to Berlin. Lauren almost laughed at the thought of the Succubus telling everyone that Trick was already dead so she would be Queen anywhere she laid her head.
"What the fuck is going on here?! Aife screamed as Albert and Stephen walked with her, step for step.
"That bitch started it...". Dina snapped.
"I asked what was going on, I never asked for you to be insulting". Aife snapped gripping Dina's shirt collar.
The crowd shook when they heard a growl coming from behind them. They slowly turned and saw Bo. Her Succubus had taken over, and her entire body looked like it was a four alarm fire, it was smoking red.
"Emma, Avery and Dina. Don't make me have to come and get you". The Succubus said in a voice so deep, it rattled the windows on the cars and buildings.
"That bitch is back too? Oh hell yeah ladies, lets do this". Dina said as Emma and Avery crowded around her.
Bo snapped and jumped all over them. Punch for punch, kick for kick, and the trio hadn't landed a single punch on her yet.
"It would be so easy to kill you, but you dumb bitches touched what belongs to me. For that you will die a long and slow death". The Succubus snapped with her hair flailing in the air.
"This is the Queen Aife's territory. Nothing here belongs to you! Emma snapped.
"She belongs to me". The Succubus said as she turned the women's heads around to Lauren.
"Now! Dina screamed and the five of them were swarmed by the other Succubus.
"Grandfather? What are you doing!? Stephen screamed as Albert pulled him to the sidewalk.
"We do not fight women son, even if they are in the wrong. Let Lauren, Aife and Bo handle this". Albert explained.
"We are not all women". Five husky men said as they stormed on to the scene.
"Come on! Stephen said as his eyes flashed.
"Foolish boys". Albert laughed and joined the fight. He knew it wouldn't be a fair fight since Stephen has foresight and he's just as powerful.
Bo and Lauren's Succubus were fighting back to back for a few minutes before they were separated. Bo's thought about how Bo could be the reason behind this. Had she gone with Aife when she invited her to show her around Berlin way back when, these bitches would probably have already been dead already. They wouldn't have ever laid a hand on Lauren, and Lauren would be enjoying the sites. She assumed that's why Lauren came back here to begin with, then the fools they were fighting intervened.
She couldn't afford to debate all of that now. She needed to focus on the fight and then talk to Lauren later about it. She dreaded the number one speculation circulating in her head, that Lauren wanted away from Bo forever. She had already been thinking about that in bed, until Lauren started to feed from her and then fed her in return. She knew it was Lauren's Chi. It's almost as identical as dental records. Fight now. Talk later and real talk. Not their usual sixty seconds talk.
"Duck Lauren! Stephen snapped when a blade was being swung at her head. But the Doctor didn't need his help.
"Come to me". Lauren said holding out her hand. She continued to fight with the other while waiting on her staff to come to her like commanded.
Bo gasped when the thing literally fell out of the sky and into Lauren's waiting hand.
Lauren's eyes rolled over blue and gold as she stuck her staff into the ground. She punched the Succubus that swung at her next and laughed as she heard every blade, hit her staff.
Bo's jumped out of her sheath and floated to it, and once it hit, it stuck.
"Fist fight". Lauren laughed as she knocked a Succubus dead on her ass.
Emma and Avery ran to her next and were thwarted when Lauren was waiting for the attack. She grabbed one of their arms and threw them up into the air and when they came back down, she kicked them dead center in their stomachs. The women groaned as they hit the ground.
Bo was done, and drained them before Lauren could.
"Freaking tourist Succubus this is our...". Dina started before Aife had her tongue in her hand. She pulsed it and laughed as it turned over backwards in Dina's mouth choking her.
"Get them, if we destroy Aife, we can take Berlin back! Another Succubus yelled.
The women and men were swarmed again by fresh bodies. If she were to stop and count, Lauren figured it was nearly a hundred of them. Closing her eyes to prepare for her next move, she felt someone slam into her back, she growled and turned around to swing. She stopped her fist when she saw it was Bo, the Succubus glared at her for a second and grabbed the woman that had slammed her into Lauren by her neck.
Lauren sighed and raised her hands, within minutes the women and men were all on the ground. Deeply wounded they couldn't move.
Bo, Aife, Albert and Stephen watched in awe. They were all immensed in battle when their prey had been stripped from their hands or from under their heels and suddenly on the ground, with wounds they haven't given them yet.
"Stephen? Lauren said.
"That is all of them". Stephen nodded.
"Good. Now get out of here". Lauren snapped.
"Ummm this is Berlin. I run this, I tell people when and where to go". Aife laughed.
"Fine. Then I will leave". Lauren said and started to walk off. Suddenly Bo was in front of her and hand her hand in hers.
"No. No Lauren. We need to talk. Please". Bo said as the Succubus relented control.
"Let me guess. You are worried about Kenzi". Lauren laughed angrily.
"No. I want to talk about us. That is, if there is still an us". Bo said in a childlike voice.
"Come on gentlemen. I have some heads to roll". Aife said ushering Stephen and Albert away from the ladies.
"What about us? A Succubus asked from the ground.
"You're lucky you are not dead". Aife laughed as she walked by them. Saved them the task of bowing to her since they were already on the ground.
"Fucking Succubus". The woman grumbled from the ground.
"Thank you". Aife laughed.
Bo gently pulled Lauren down the street and away from the buzz of the women.
"What do you want to talk about Bo? Kenzi? I'm not bringing her back yet, so save your breath". Lauren said as she pulled away from Bo's grasp.
"This isn't about Kenzi Lauren. I trust that you haven't killed her. But that's not my concern, you are. You just up and left. You didn't even give me a chance to explain why I was trying to talk to you". Bo answered.
"I know the drill Bo, they will always come first. Either it's Kenzi or something you're working on. I have never come first to you. I put you above everything when we first met, including my commitment to the Ash and you milked that for all it was worth until you found Dyson's body again". Lauren said shaking her head in disgust.
"I wasn't trying to protect Kenzi. I was trying to protect you Lauren! Protect you from your Succubus. To make sure she's not a monster like mine is! I'm just worried about you! You Lauren! Bo snapped.
"I never needed your protection Bo. I can take care of myself. The only one that thinks your Succubus is a monster is you! Lauren countered as she tapped Bo on the side of her head.
"Then why did you show me what was going on here?! I saw it all as you fed from me and then fed me". Bo said.
"You what? Lauren asked.
"I saw it all. Like I was already here. Them attacking you. You fighting. You wounded. Everything". Bo said.
Lauren rolled her tongue in her mouth. That was new. She thought she was only feeding from Bo and then feeding her. She didn't know her Chi would allow Bo to see current events going on with the Doctor.
"I'm not afraid of my Succubus Bo. As far as the feeding thing, that's new on me. I didn't expect you to see everything. I just needed to feed and assumed you did too after I threw you the other day". Lauren explained. She marveled at the new power Bo had just told her about. It was either a power of hers, Succubus to Succubus or her witch. The Scientist in her was starting to wonder if that was exclusive to Bo, but there was no sure fire way of finding out without feeding from another wounded Succubus.
She had her pick of the lot. Literally with the women lining the streets.
"Are you injured? Lauren asked.
"No. I'm fine". Bo said.
Lauren licked her lips and punched Bo in the face and waited for her nose to bleed.
"What the fuck Lauren? Bo asked angrily as she held her nose and blood started running out of her nose.
Lauren shook her head. Bo needed to be more wounded than that for her experiment to work. So she clipped her and broke her leg.
"What the hell is wrong with you!? Bo screamed in pain as she held on to her nose with one hand and held on to her wounded leg with the other one.
Lauren ran down the road at lightning speed and entered the bar again. Breaking her own hand, and before Bo could catch up to her, she started to feed and push her Chi into Bo while holding a drink in her hand and dancing to the music.
Bo let go of her nose and accepted the Chi and gave Chi back. She immediately started to feel better as she witnessed what Lauren was doing. Holy shit she thought.
Lauren ran back to Bo and checked on her. "Did it work?
"The Chi and seeing what you were doing? Yes. Why you did it? No". Bo sighed. This was turning into a disaster. She didn't know the Lauren in front of her. She would never wound her on purpose and she had twice inside of five minutes.
"I wanted to find out if it happened again with you. The only problem is using it on another Succubus or Fae to see if it is just you or my powers". Lauren explained.
"Are you telling me that you want to fight and feed from somebody else? Bo gasped.
"That's exactly what I'm telling you. That won't be a problem for you will it, Succubus? Lauren asked.
Bo shook her head. This was bullshit. What the hell happened to Lauren from the time she last saw her to the time she just saw her again? But she couldn't really say anything. How many times had she slept with other people and it wasn't a feed. Dyson. Ryan. Anyone.
"Ok but can it not be mom please? Bo sighed.
"That would be disgusting". Lauren said looking around for her next guinea pig.
Lauren spotted a woman across the street walking. She ran over and punched her in the face, and waited for the woman to punch her back. She kicked and punched Lauren. It didn't hurt but it did case her nose to bleed, and her leg felt weird.
She ran around the corner and into a restaurant. Breaking her hand again, she grabbed a dinner roll in the other hand and squeezed it as she started to pull the woman's chi and fed her too.
The woman was floored at what just happened and jumped back when Lauren came running up to her again.
"Are you ok? Lauren asked.
"I'm fine. But don't do that shit again". The woman snapped.
"Did you see me when I fed from you or when I fed you? Lauren asked.
"No. You took my chi and gave me some of yours back". The woman said.
"I'm a Scientist. I'm sorry for the assault, I just thought you would have thought I was crazy, had I asked your permission ahead of time". Lauren explained.
"That's quite alright. I'm a Doctor too, but don't do that shit again". The woman laughed as she hurried away.
Bo stood across the street with her arms crossed, and tapping her foot.
"You can't be mad about that". Lauren laughed.
"I am just worried about you Lauren. I have been worried about you since we found out that you were Fae. I know you're not scared of your Succubus, but she worries me". Bo explained.
"I'm still me Bo. I'm just not that bend over and take it up the ass, because I have to Lauren, anymore". Lauren replied as she looked Bo over.
"Why did you come here of all places? Bo asked.
"Are you jealous? Lauren asked.
"That's not what I asked. I asked why this place of all places". Bo said gently.
"I wanted some practice and thanks to you and them, I got some". Lauren smiled as she walked towards the car she had rented and climbed inside. Bo stood watching her until she saw the passenger side door open. She climbed in and buckled up. She was clearly going to have to live on Lauren's time and pace. Twenty minutes later, they pulled up to Aife's castle and Lauren parked just outside of the garage. The ride over was uneventful besides Bo shifting in her seat.
"Now why are we were? Bo asked.
"I'm going to talk to Aife for a few minutes and then going back to my hotel". Lauren answered as she briskly walked inside. She was ready for real food and a hot shower.
"Lauren. Lauren. Lauren. You have put quite a mess on my hands". Aife laughed, noticing them before they did her.
"I'm sorry. I was minding my own business and they came after me". Lauren said.
"I'm not mad. I saw the tapes. Those bitches just love to fight and you gave them one, and plenty more". Aife laughed.
"Ok. Now that we have cleared that up. I'm calling it an early night". Lauren said as she turned to leave. She didn't motion for Bo to follow her at all.
Bo didn't either. She just stood there wondering who the hell that woman was that just walked away from them.
"Come on Isabeau. Dinner is ready". Aife said.
Bo frowned, nodded and followed her mother.
