Thank you for the lovely reviews they keep me going - I am glad so many people like the story. Also, thank you for your wonderful patience for my long lag time between updates. Life just gets in the way. However, here is the next installment - please let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: I don't own any part of Lost Girl; I just like playing with the lovely characters.

Lauren ran her hand through her hair. She was only a little closer to finding a cure for
Bo. She knew what had been done to her – it was a fae spell that caused rage towards specific people worked into the spell. The problem was the doctor had no way to reverse the spell. She could make the mixture chemically, but she had no way to know if it would help or do more harm.

Bo left with Hale to search down a lead from the security footage so there was relative quiet in the lab. Lauren went to sit down at her computer glad for a moment to think. She stared at the complicated structure of the mixture given to Bo. There was both human and wolf DNA; this explained why she was enraged at Kensi and Dyson since it was their specific codes she was seeing. She had no idea who could have done this or how, and she hoped Hale and Bo came back with something or someone who was strong enough to have given life to this potion.

Bo and Hale returned to his office in order to run down the license they got off the van in the security video. The address listed was for an old house in the warehouse district of town. Hale looked over at Bo who had been silent since they left the lab though she'd been fidgeting continuously, "Do you want to talk about it?"

"No." Bo said, "Talking will only make me angry again. I'm trying to remember as much as I can about that shot. Could there have been something in it to elicit this response and make me forget?"

Hale sighed, "There are probably fae potions that could make you irrationally mad. I know there are fae who could make you forget, but you knew him when you saw the picture so that can't be it. It's probably just that your emotions are clouding your head Bo. However, you can think about that later – there's the place." He said pointing to an enormous old mansion that looked dilapidated.

Bo started to get out of the car, but Hale grabbed her arm. "Wait. That may be the place, but we don't know what we'd be walking into. Let's just see what's about, who comes in and out, if the guy we saw on the security footage is here. You don't want to walk into a trap, do you? "She sighed, "of course not."

Hale wasn't sure exactly what was happening, but he knew he had to protect Bo even if it was from herself at the moment. As he was thinking about what the problem with the succubus might be two people left the building. One was the guy on the footage and the other was a woman – tall, willowy, and if Hale knew anything at all he knew she was fae. They got into the white van from the Ash's security footage. Once they pulled away he whispered, "Alright, let's case this place."

Bo was grateful he was working with her more since she was getting frustrated just sitting there. They quietly walked the perimeter, moved in closer and couldn't find anyone or anything. Hale wished his partner was with them to be sure they weren't missing something, but he knew that wouldn't be a good thing right now. He'd seen Bo's reaction to the mention of his name it was like the Baba Yaga episode. Bo smacked his arm, "pay attention damnit. I'm gonna pick this lock and we can look around inside. I just think we ought to be quick." He nodded and apologized to her for letting his mind wander.

The two got inside quickly, both scanning for security and people – fae or otherwise. The place looked like an upgraded version of Bo and Kensi's warehouse shack only much larger. They searched the place and found several things which gave them pause. First the emptiness of the building was creepy and seemingly out of place. Second, when they went down the stairs which appeared to be frequently used they found a lab. Bo started taking samples of all the stuff on the counter while Hale searched the room. Off to the side he found a door which pushed open easily. What he found startled and pissed him off. There was a small cell in the next room and inside there was a woman in a thin, white dress. He grabbed the succubus and showed her. She got Hale to finish getting samples while she picked this second lock.

This lock was a little more difficult and Bo briefly wished she had Kensi with her – the young woman had never seen a lock that could stop her. Bo instantly felt rage blossom in her chest and she had a moment to be upset by that – she decided she needed to point the rage at the bastards who were causing all this trouble. While she was fighting her rage she got the lock open, by breaking it. The noise caused the woman in the cell to awaken – she jumped up and scurried to the corner. Bo came in and said, "Do you want out of here?" The woman stared at her for a moment but nodded. "Then come with me, we'll protect you but we have to move quickly." The woman said nothing, but moved towards Bo – staying just out of her reach. The raved haired fae moved to the side to let the woman out. They came back into the lab where suddenly the woman began smashing all the equipment while muttering, "never again you bastard, never." She never stopped moving and was suddenly at the side of the other two fae in the room. She'd almost moved too fast for them to see all of her actions.

Bo was getting very skittish something about this was too easy, she just didn't know what it was. The three got back to Hale's car, and while the woman seemed hesitant to approach the vehicle she got in and huddled in the back seat. As they sped away Bo turned towards the woman. "My name is Bo." The woman stared at her with large blue eyes that reminded her of Dyson somehow. The succubus was stunned when she realized she hadn't gotten angry. "Do you have a name?"

The woman looked down at her shift and took a deep breath. Her voice was deep and melodic but scratchy from lack of use. "Muriel." Hale swerved a little having heard that name but unsure where he'd heard it. He thought he should tell her where they were going. He looked briefly at Bo and said, "I'm going to take you to the waystation. You will be safe there, it's neutral territory."

Again, quietly but gaining strength Muriel said, "Thank you both." They arrived at the Dal in about 15 minutes. Hale turned to Bo, "Maybe you should wait here." The succubus shook her head, "I've thought both Kensi and Dyson while we've been driving and I haven't gotten angry. I'm kind of hoping it's over."

From the backseat they heard, "Dyson? Do you know Dyson?" The two fae simultaneously turned to look at the woman in the back seat. Hale fielded the question, "Yeah, we know him. How do you know him?" Instead of answering the question the woman asked, "will you please take me to him? Please? I need to see him." The tears in her eyes touched them both as did the plea in her voice. Bo said, "Of course, in fact he may well be inside. If you're ready." Muriel nodded and began pushing against the door. Bo jumped out of the car and opened door for her.

Bo was pleased to note she was still not upset at the mention of Dyson. Hale ushered the two women into the pub as quickly as he could make them move.

After Trick's revelation Kensi began reading about the rom and looking at information on fae genealogies. Dyson kissed her gently, "Kens are you sure you don't want to get out of here?" She shook her head, "Not till I know Bo's ok." He sighed and kissed her forehead, "I'll be upstairs, join me before too long?" Kensi smiled, "of course, I just want to finish what I am reading here, Ok?" The wolf man nodded and watched her for a few moments longer before going to see Trick.

He sat down at the bar and nursed a beer. Dyson had been sitting there just long enough to finish his beer when Hale, Bo, and Muriel came into the bar. Bo hollered, "Trick, need you please." She saw Dyson and was delighted to find the anger still abated. "You too D." He looked up from the bar and saw Muriel.

He had her wrapped in his arms in a flash. "Holy fuck Muri – How did you get here? Where have you been.. gods it's amazing to see you." Bo watched the woman transform in Dyson's arms, going from a tired, frightened looking woman to a beautiful lady. However seeing them together she surmised they were related. How had she missed that she looked so much like the wolf. Muriel laughed and the sound was so lovely Bo wondered if she was a siren.

Seeing her brother alive and well lifted a weight off of Muriel's chest. Quietly she commented, "I was told you were dead. Years ago… sometime last century." She looked over at the bar, "Could I, perhaps, have a drink?" Dyson chuckled, "Of course Muri. Trick, a drink for my sister please." Presenting the information that way explained their relationship to everyone at once. He kissed the top of her head, "I'll be right back."

He took the stairs down to Trick's place two at a time, only to find Kensi pouring over multiple books at once. He grinned and watched her for a moment, "Hey, I thought you were coming upstairs instead of pouring over more dusty old tomes." Kensi's head came up at the sound of her lover's voice. She shook her head and closed the books, marking each carefully. "Sorry, I got distracted." The detective had his thumbs in his vest and he was grinning. Kensi found herself staring for a moment as the sight, smell and sounds of Dyson washed over her. "Have I told you how sexy you are lately?"

Dyson couldn't help but smile at the small woman, whether she was human or not he was hers, he hoped she understood that. "Not lately, but there's someone I want you to meet. Besides, Bo and Hale are back, she seems back to normal. At least she didn't seem inclined to kill me which is rather important." Kensi jumped up, "Thank all that's holy. Well what are you waiting for? Let's go" she remarked impatiently. Dyson's reaction was to pull her towards him, he thought it had been entirely too longs since she'd been in his arms. Kensi was instantly pliable in his arms, melting against him. When they separated, she grinned, "you smell good too." She squirmed out of his grip and ran up the stairs moving far quicker than a human should have been able to.

Kensi was so excited to hear that Bo might be back to herself she couldn't wait to see her. That said, kissing Dyson ranked as one of the most amazing things she could remember in her life and well even Bo could wait an extra second since she was still carrying bruises from her best friend's hands. After a nice deep kiss Kensi took off knowing D would follow without her saying anything. As she reached the bar she righted her clothes, such as they were. She saw Bo and was suddenly hesitant, and who was the goddess sitting at the bar with Trick, Kensi thought.

She felt Dyson before he actually reached her, he took her hand, "come on." Trick looked up, "ready for a drink now Kens?" She nodded, "reading dusty old books is thirsty work." The young goth looked over at her best friend who was presently staring at her. "Bo?" The succubus smiled, "No irrational anger, maybe the whatever it was ran its course." She grabbed Kensi into a hug and spun around. "I still want to kill whoever did this – but I am so glad I can hug you!"

Muriel watched the interaction. She initially thought the small woman was human, but now she wasn't sure. Why would the succubus be so happy to hug a human? It was then she realized that she was face to face with the subject of her curse work. An overwhelming shame threatened to take over her body and she held herself together by sheer force of will. Dyson had followed Kensi up and watched the interaction between the two would be sisters before looking at his own. He saw the change and approached her, "what's wrong?" He shook his head, "uh, can I introduce you? You met Bo and well Hale is my partner."

Muriel was instantly calmed by the hand of Dyson on her shoulder. She turned questioningly to him, "partner?" He grinned, "I'm a cop Muri." This caused her to giggle, it really was a perfect job for her line towing brother, but it was still kind of funny since she remembered what a trouble-maker he could be. The wolf cleared his throat, "Kens, come here for a moment." The young woman looked up and stepped away from her sister. She walked to Dyson with her eyebrow arched in question. He smirked at her a little, "Kens, this is my sister Muriel. Muri, this is my…girlfriend, Kensi."

Kensi's eyes widened for a fraction of a second before a shy smile appeared on her face, she settled her boisterous personality over her before turning to the lovely woman D had introduced her to. He'd called her his girlfriend… wow and hell yeah! "Hi…it's nice to meet you." She stuck out her hand and Muriel grasped it in her own. Between them there was something like an electrical pulse that kept their hands together, Muriel's blue eyes glazed over and she began speaking softly, "Only the once cursed may walk in the light, as you soon will … retrieving the stolen is easier for a wolf who walks on two legs though you do not yet understand… you will." He eyes cleared and she slumped a little, Kensi held her up. "You alright?" Muriel shook her head, "what the fuck are you?" she looked frightened of the young woman. Kensi backed away and wound up backing right into Dyson who looked startled.

The moment Kensi touched Dyson all hell broke loose. Bo's eyes sparked blue rather than her normal chocolate and in a flash she'd pulled Kensi away from Dyson, yanking her shoulder out of place again and giving the girl the second shock in so many minutes. Dyson's eyes flashed yellow as he growled at Bo. "Leave her alone." Kensi had passed out from the additional shocks and pain, but no one was paying attention to her at the moment. They battle of wills happening between the wolf and the succubus over the young girl was ratcheting the tension in the bar second by second. Muriel slid off the stool, she walked to the two of them and touched their arms. "Enough." At the touch of the new woman in the group both fae felt the anger drain from them. She reached down and picked Kensi up, turning to Trick, "Where can I place this one? She is injured, again I believe." Trick moved quickly, directing her down to the couch Kensi had earlier occupied.

Once Kensi was placed on the couch, Muriel looked around, picked up a blanket and laid it over the woman. Muriel placed her hand on the girl and whispered, "sleep peacefully." Kensi seemed to settle into the couch even more after the touch. Muriel looked around at the apartment, then at Trick. Her eyes widened for a moment and she dropped to her knees. "My liege, I am sorry I did not recognize you. Please forgive me." She bowed her head. Trick got to her quickly, pulling her off her knees. "Stop that Muriel. I've known you for too long for you to go kneeling to me now!" Trick gave her a hug and arched a brow at her, "You are going to have to explain how a wolf can do all of these thing one day though." She shook her head softly, "it's a long story – one my brother needs to hear as well. Will you tell me who, and what this girl is? I cannot determine if she is fae or not."

Trick ran his hand over his head, "That is also long story. Now I need to know if you can reverse what happened to Bo?" Muriel nodded, "I need the girl awake though." The two of them walked quietly up the stairs to find Hale standing over Bo and Dyson as if on watch while the two of them sat over a couple of beers. She approached them as quietly as a wolf – only Dyson was not startled having smelled her approaching. "I'm sorry," Muriel spoke very softly. Bo turned to her and she looked pissed, "Did you do this to me? Why I never did shit to you!" Dyson growled and put his arm in front of Bo. "Calm down Bo, didn't Hale tell me you just rescued her?" That took all the steam out of the succubus who asked, "can you fix it?"

Muriel nodded, "as soon as the girl wakes up. I need all of you here to reverse the curse. Be aware of any medication – I was forced to create a more potent curse against you. They…they want blood, yours" she nodded to Dyson; "yours" she nodded to the succubus, "and the girl. She killed one of them and didn't die like she was supposed to. No one realizes she's not a human pet." Bo started to get upset again, "Kensi is no one's pet damnit." Dyson looked at the two of them, "If I go take care of Kens can I be sure you won't kill one another?" Bo looked at him, "Trick would kill me if I committed violence in his bar. Even you'd get thrown out for that!" He smiled and turned to walk away. The raven haired beauty grabbed his shirt, "tell her I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry…"

Dyson turned to look at her, with a solemn look on his face, "She knows it's not you Bo… but she's still upset and well I think she's trying to deal with a lot of other things. This is just one more blow." The statement made Bo feel even worse, "can I help you?" The old warrior sighed, "do you really think that's a good idea?" Fully deflated, Bo sat down at the bar "I guess not." Dyson turned to leave then sat down next to Bo, "I have to know something, before I bring Kensi up here. Are you, I don't know, actually upset at her, or me, or…" He hung his head trying to come up with the right words. Muriel tilted her head, "I thought you didn't like humans Dyson…"

His head came up in a flash, "Things change, and Kensi is…is…she's just Kensi."Muriel's eyes widened, "I didn't know." She touched Bo's arm which caused the succubus to turn to her, "what are you doing?" Muriel sighed, "The curse was set by me, while I touch you it will have no effect and you should be able to think clearly on the matter. Separate what are your feelings from the induced rage." Bo shook her head again and thought about Kensi, about Dyson, and about Kensi and Dyson. "No, I don't think I am really angry with either of you. A little surprised, I thought…I thought you were mine, but" she held up her hand to prevent any interruptions. "But it actually makes me kind of happy that you each have found someone to make you happy. That's right, right? You are happy together? If you make her unhappy I will suck you dry." The little monologue made the old wolf chuckle, "As far as I know I make her happy, I know she makes me happy, happier than I think I've ever been. I'm glad you aren't upset cause it would really suck to have to live without love again." With that, he got up and walked away from the bar towards his beautiful woman.

Kensi woke up feeling like she'd been hit by a truck, again. "Geez, I am so done getting beaten up." She held her arm to her looked around to make sure no one was there, walked to the doorjamb by the bathroom, took a deep breath and slammed her shoulder back into place which caused her to gasp and drop to her knees. "Well that's done." Standing back up she made her was to the couch and opened up a book hoping to take her mind off losing her soul sister. Reading did little to keep her awake considering the pain she was in and when Dyson came down the stairs she was sound asleep with books littered around her. He smiled as he saw her, she was so beautiful.

He moved the books, sat by her, and began rubbing her feet and legs, "Kensi, wake up for me darling." He knew the moment she drifted from sleep into wakefulness though she showed no outward sign. Kensi opened her eyes and smiled, "I could get used to waking up to you handsome. Is the coast clear upstairs, cause I could really use a drink or three." He chuckled, "Well not exactly, but my sister needs all three of us present to remove the curse that was placed on Bo in her medication." Kensi stood up instantly, "holy cats she did it? Damn, you got some nifty mojo in your family D… she can really fix it?" Then she stilled, and quietly asked, "does that mean Bobo won't fly off the handle even if she's really pissed?"

Dyson pulled her into his arms, "should have done this sooner." Kensi leaned into his warmth, into the love she could feel from him, "mmm..done what?" Dyson looked down at her, "gotten you in my arms. I spoke with Bo, and Kens she's not actually mad beyond that I'll let the two of you talk, ok?" Kensi went up on her tiptoes, used her one good arm to pull his head towards her, and kissed him deeply and thoroughly, "mmmm should have done that sooner." He rubbed his nose against hers when the kiss broke. "Let's get this done." Kensi nodded at him and the two went back up to the bar hand in hand.

Cyrus waited somewhat impatiently for Tenia to return. He had no idea why she felt she had to visit a nasty old hag of a fae, but there it was. She rarely asked him for things and well as siblings went he had worse. However, there was some kind of miscommunication and the succubus wasn't coming in today – that meant both the human and Dyson would be elsewhere, probably together. Several phone calls later he found they were at the waystation again. God damned light fae idiots. "How much trouble would it be to simply blow that place up?" Tenia shook her head, "don't you remember signing in? It's run by a cranky old gnome and we'd probably catch hell from all sides. Simply not worth the paperwork."
