Bo and Stephen

The duo slowly walked over to the small table. Aife and Albert stood far away from them. The older gentleman had some issues with Bo too. But they're not as strong as Stephen's are. He barely knew his grandson when he was a child but knew he was highly protective of Lauren, even when she was just Karen to them.

Stephen and Bo sat staring awkwardly at each other. Neither was ready to get into it. Stephen's aura was telling Bo that this was not going to be easy.

"I know my sister loves and trusts you. But I also know my sister. She means the world to me, and I would do anything to protect her". Stephen said never moving.

Bo wasn't sure if he even took a breath. "I love Lauren just as much. She means the world to me. It's not just words, it's just a fact. Which I'm assuming you're using as evidence of your disdain for me. I know you can see the future, and to be honest that's a handicap for Lauren and me". Bo said quietly.

"What do you mean by that? Stephen asked.

"You're seeing our future. One we can't see that far into. You're using that to cause trouble where there is none yet". Bo nodded taking some water from Aife who moved back and away from them.

"I don't trust you in the present. It does have a little to do with the future, but mostly because I'm sensing my sister is afraid to say the wrong thing. She's a Succubus like you, she shouldn't fear losing you. Which wouldn't be a big loss considering you look like you're ready to leave her at any given time. That's not in the future, that's right now. So tell me Succubus, what's turning your eyes away from my sister? Stephen asked.

"Nothing is turning me away from Lauren. Nothing". Bo said angrily but gently.

"Is it a wolf? I can always look for myself, if you're prepared to lie to me". Stephen snapped.

"Dyson is dead. Even if he weren't, my choice was always Lauren. I'm not looking to sleep with, or love anyone but Lauren". Bo said.

"If you love her so much, why did she come here to get away from you? Why does your little friend always get to demean her, while you stand by and back and say nothing?! Stephen screamed.

Bo growled and closed her eyes. He had good points. He had came back into Lauren's life and saw the same shit Lauren had been suffering through for years. Kenzi. Bo's running between her and Dyson. Lauren couldn't have known she was Bo's only choice because she never ever saw her tell Dyson. Now Dyson's dead and her only brother that can see into the future picked up on their past.

"You're stalling Bo". Stephen said.

"I told Kenzi that I love Lauren. I told her Lauren is my home and my priority. Not that I need to explain every detail to you, but Lauren and I are doing just fine. I know we have a long way to go, but I will not have you causing trouble when I have not even done anything yet, not that I ever will. You brought up Kenzi, but everything you're accusing me of is right up Kenzi's alley. I will not let anything or anyone come between me and Lauren. Especially a man that's only known me for a short time. Lauren's life is science and my life is Lauren". Bo responded still trying to control her Succubus.

"You almost talk a good game. You almost seem sincere. But almost will never be good enough for my sister". Stephen said.

"I love Lauren and I trust her. I love her and want to protect her. Protecting her also means respecting her". Bo said drinking some water.

"You respect her huh? How? When? Stephen snapped.

"Just now. She wanted to go take on those bitches herself. I respect her enough to allow her to go alone. I could drain everyone of them right now from this very seat without ever standing up". Bo responded.

"Oooo the big bad Succubus. Stepping in to protect her very capable girlfriend. But never lifted her voice or her hands to defend her from the bullshit Fae and only other human in the group. It's sad really. Lauren could do a lot better than all of you. She doesn't need this life, this life needs her". Stephen snapped.

"You're right. Lauren could do a lot better than all of us. She deserves to live a happy life. But I need her. I not only need her, I love her. I haven't been the best girlfriend in the past, but I never claimed to be perfect. But Lauren is perfect for me. I learn from her. I grow from knowing her. I can't sit here on my ass all day and night like you obviously do, and look into the future. To be quite honest that would probably bore me. I want to learn as we grow together. Not worry about what's coming because we will face it together. I understand she's your sister, and you want to protect her. But she doesn't need protecting from me because I will never be a threat to her, or harm her. We will have disagreements, but that doesn't mean, she needs or I need to pack up and run. I will run when Lauren needs me, but I will walk this life side by side with her too". Bo said honestly.

Stephen sat staring at the Succubus. He can't read auras like they can. He just doesn't know yet, how to get over what he was feeling and sensing from the Succubus. Maybe it was her concern for Lauren that was throwing him off. She could be just as worried as he is. She said some interesting things. He had heard how she drained the room to bring Dyson back. Aife bragged about that proudly. If he was honest with himself, this was a new life to him too. So it really wasn't fair to judge Bo based on what he was seeing now, when she and Lauren have known each other for years.

Lauren had a long time in the Fae world even when she thought she was a human. She must love Bo on some deeper level than her only brother realizes. She left her to talk with him, when she could have asked her to come along. She all but told him Bo was going to be her choice if he pushed her to choosing between them. For Lauren, he would try. He would try to remain patient and stay out of their future while they focused on their present.

It's logical really. If they are so focused or distracted about what dangers lay ahead in their future, they will lose focus of present dangers and that could alter their futures too. So for Lauren, he would back off. He would lay off of Bo, and work on building some kind of friendship with her. Lauren was fair about letting them talk, he could be fair about letting them be. Unless of course he needed to step in to help them fight something, or someone.

Lauren didn't need that right now either. A witch and her Succubus are not one to screw around with. If Lauren reads his aura, she might kick his ass too.

"Ok Bo. I wasn't being fair to you. For myself and my sister, I will stay out of the future, so that we can all get to know each other in the present". Stephen said softly.

"Lauren is my light and my darkness. I can't see on either side without her. I do see a long and bright future with her. You don't have to understand it right now. But you will learn once we get past whatever your reservations are". Bo said quietly.

"I beat the crap out of Andrew when he stood her up for the prom. That was just high school. So you can imagine how I feel about every person romantically involved, or not with my sister". Stephen said.

Bo nodded. She remembered Lauren telling her about that. "The only dates Lauren will worry about are ours. There will be no standing her up because the Fae will learn their place in my life, last to Lauren.

"Are we done with the pissing contest? Aife asked.

"Are we? Bo asked looking at Stephen.

"Yes. We're done". Stephen smiled and nodded.

"Good because I want front row seats to this ass whooping that it sounds like someone is getting". Aife laughed.

"Stay out of it mom". Bo said.

"I just want a little peek". Aife laughed again.

"No this is Lauren's, all of it. We wait for her to come back, and if she brings their bodies in bags or chains, then we will see". Bo said standing up and walking towards the castle.

"Damn. I did say I'd wait, but waiting is hell". Aife laughed as she followed Bo, and the men followed her.

Lauren

Lauren had stopped when she was able to zero in on where the Succubus were hiding. They had separated long before she reached her current spot.

"Come out, come out wherever you are. Or I will come in and get you". Lauren smiled. She could see through the trees, so it really wasn't a sport at this point.

"Ahh Dina there you are". Lauren laughed as the Succubus tried to jump her from behind.

She groaned when Lauren was too quick, so she hit the ground face first.

"Is that all you've got? Lauren asked.

"It's not really a fair fight when you are a witch too". Dina groaned as she dusted herself off.

"Fair? You are calling for a fair fight when your gang came out of nowhere, and attacked me? Lauren laughed.

"You talk a lot of shit, which I bet you ain't without your witch". Dina laughed.

"Lets test that theory". Lauren said as she pulled a blindfold out of thin air. She smiled as she double wrapped it around her eyes.

Dina smiled. This was going to be too easy. Stupid fool was still a baby Succubus and new to Fae tricks.

"Well? Lauren laughed.

Dina crouched low and tiptoed to see if Lauren could see out of her blindfold. It looked tight, like it could pop her eyeballs right out of their sockets. Once she was sure that Lauren couldn't see her. She made her first move. She jumped up into the air to kick the woman in the head, but was soon put her on her back.

Lauren laughed when she groaned in pain. "I honestly expected more".

Dina stood up, dusted herself off and lunged for the Doctor again, this time trying to trip her at the knees, but Lauren jumped over her leg and she missed.

Dina didn't say a word. She just stepped to the Succubus throwing punch after punch. Each punch was deflected or avoided. She couldn't figure out how Lauren was doing this. She was wearing a black blindfold. There is no way she was seeing what Dina was doing.

Lauren smiled. She stepped to Dina. She punched, kicked and threw the woman around. Dina tried to get her own licks on her, but could never lay a hand, or foot on her.

"There were a lot of you. So lets bring everyone to the party". Lauren laughed as she snapped her fingers and soon every Succubus on the street during the night of her attack was in front of Dina. The woman looked around. She couldn't believe Lauren knew where all of them had fled to, much less how to bring them there in such a short amount of time.

"This bitch again? Thought she got enough last time". Someone laughed.

"Careful Daphne, Queen Aife favors this one". Emma laughed.

"Queen Aife sends her blessings". Lauren laughed.

"Fuck it. Get her girls! Dina screamed as the women stormed towards Lauren.

The witch Succubus smiled as they got closer. She threw half of them around without ever lifting her hands. The rest she needed to touch. Wanted to touch to see what she could really do.

Bones snapped. Necks broke. Legs twisted. That's how they attacked. Legs, head, feet, and arms all came at the Succubus. She deflected it all. All without ever panting, or taking a break. None of the Succubus were much impressed. But they wanted to leave impressions all over the Doctor. That is if they could get close enough to her to do so.

"Fuck it. Queen Aife's far away from here. Lets get out of here before she locks us up again". Dina suggested and the Succubus all turned and ran off.

"Get back here". Lauren said softly.

The Succubus screamed and groaned when they were in front of the blonde again.

"Run in different directions girls. Go! Emma screamed and screamed again once Lauren brought them back a second time.

"We need to get this bitch out of Berlin. We will never rest with her here". Dina panted.

"Now if I chase you, you will never outrun me. If you walk, I will be there step for step. Since none of you have wings, you really have no way out of here. Not until I've practiced again". Lauren said as she paced back and forth in front of them.

"Ummm you broke my fucking arm. If that wasn't practice, what was it? Daphne asked.

"No you broke your own arm. It's in the way you swung. As a Doctor I can assure you an arm isn't supposed to twist in that manner". Lauren said.

"This bitch is crazy. We're already wounded, needing to heal, and she wants us to fight her...again". Emma laughed.

"So that's a no? Lauren asked stepping in front of the Succubus.

"That's a hell no. I'd rather take my chances with the Queen". Emma laughed again.

Lauren lifted her head into the air and took some deep breaths. The Succubus took that as their chance to leave.

Lauren started laughing and chased after them one by one. She ran in every direction and was upon every one of them in less than a second. None of them had a chance to respond to her attacks. She was so quick, they could never get a hand on her. Once they were all on the ground again. They looked up and she was back to where she once stood.

"How the fuck did she get all the way back over there? She's literally standing ten miles away, and she was just in my face a second ago". Daphne groaned.

Twist her. Throw her. Slam her into the ground. Launch her into the stars. Punch her. Kick her. All commands coming out of Lauren's mind, and completed in real time.

"Ready for me to take my blindfold off now? Lauren laughed.

The women didn't answer. They just ran. Well those that could run did. The rest hobbled or were helped along.

"That was fun". Lauren laughed peeling her blindfold off. She took off running. Catching up to every woman, beating the crap out of each of them and leaving them as they were.

"Just tell me how? Dina groaned.

"Your breaths. For every action, your breaths make a different sound. You can't fake that. So you were never going to beat me. The rest? Well the rest was Science". Lauren laughed as she walked away from the woman.

"But you never laid a hand on half of us". Dina sighed.

"Precisely". Lauren laughed.

Dina could do nothing. She needed to heal more than she needed to try and run Lauren down, and actually kick her ass this time. But she couldn't find the strength. Even if she could, the Queen would probably kick her ass just for being in her presence.

Aife's Castle.

The four sat around the royal sitting room talking. Stephen wanted to watch a movie, but couldn't find anything to watch. So they told old stories. He was learning a lot more about Bo, and it surprised him all that she had gone through before she even met Lauren.

The fact that she seemed like she was settled in with Lauren instead of being on the run touched him. That was something she didn't have to share with them, and he was somewhat impressed that she had shared it with Lauren even when Kyle's sister was in town.

Bo was about to say something, but suddenly felt some Chi being pulled from her. It streamed out the nearest vent. After a few seconds it stopped.

"She does that". Bo blushed.

"How do you know it was Lauren? Stephen gasped.

"I can tell when Lauren's pulling my Chi. There's a different pull to it. I could tell you more, but you probably don't want those details". Bo blushed again.

"Wait does that mean she's wounded? Albert asked standing up.

"Not at all". Lauren said entering the room.

"Lauren! Bo smiled as she rushed over to the Doctor. She looked her over by twisting her around in a full circle.

"I'm fine Bo". Lauren laughed as the Succubus checked her many times over.

"First things first. Are they dead? Aife asked.

"No. But they probably need to heal". Lauren said softly.

"Well shit. C'mon boys. Lets go have some fun". Aife laughed as Albert and Stephen left with her.

"Are you really ok? Bo asked quietly as they took a seat.

"Yes. I didn't even break a sweat". Lauren smiled as Bo fed her some food.

Bo sighed in relief. She had no doubt that Lauren couldn't handle herself. But that never stopped her from worrying.

"How did it go? Lauren asked drinking some wine.

"He kept looking into our future. I advised him that, that wasn't very fair to us considering we weren't privy to that intel as he is. That it cripples us in a way". Bo answered.

"Does he understand that? Lauren asked.

"I think he does. His aura was all over the place at times". Bo replied feeding Lauren another bite of food.

"It's late. Lets get a shower and go to bed". Lauren said pulling Bo up with her.

"Lauren? We can't. It's mom's castle". Bo blushed.

"It's not my fault you can't be quiet. Besides Aife won't be back for hours". Lauren laughed.

Bo blushed again, but walked out hand in hand with the Succubus.

Kenzi

Kenzi sighed in relief when she was finally moved out of the holding cell. She had slept standing up for two nights in a row, and was finally going to have a bed of her own. She knew the routine for the last time she had been arrested. But that was in the States. Those women were suckers for a fast talking expert like Kenzi was. So these Canadian bitches had to be nicer than them.

"Well. Well. Well. I finally get a cell mate". A woman laughed.

"Hold up sister. I ain't with that shit. I'm just here until the Succubus returns". Kenzi said waving off the woman's advances.

"You know Aife? The woman laughed.

"Shit. Of course you would too! But I was talking about Bo". Kenzi said throwing her arms into the air.

"Honey everyone in this precinct knows that Succubus. So you'd better watch what you say and don't say about her or her daugter". The woman laughed patting Kenzi's cheek.

"Take your hands off of me! Kenzi screamed.

"OOooo I just love a screamer. We are going to have a lot of fun in here". The woman laughed.

Kenzi grabbed her shoes and slammed her back against the wall. She was going to have to sleep standing up again.
