*This takes place after the finale but with mild changes. Bo is not sucked into a card. Dyson and Tamsin actually go over the cliff and aren't poofed anywhere. They are in the hospital recovering from the crash. Bo's dad leaves the picture for a little while.*


"What's going on, Bo?" Trick asked, watching Bo absently caress her beer mug. "Is something on your mind?" He leaned over the bar waiting for a response from a contemplative Bo.

"I'm just… a little confused I guess. I just can't seem to figure Tamsin." She sipped her beer. "I just don't really understand any of it."

"Do you mean her trying to sabotage you with the druid?" His face turned to concern.

"Not even just that. She wanted to throw me in jail. Then she helped me with Kenzi. The druid. Her climbing in my bathtub with me. The gunshot." Bo looked up at Trick noticing the odd expression on his face.

"She climbed into your bathtub?" Trick's expression almost made Bo smile from how uncomfortable he seemed from the image.

"It's a long story. Another time. She took a bullet for me. I don't understand why. I knew she would betray me if I saved her, but I couldn't let her die either way. I tried to give her some of my chi to heal her, but…" Bo's expression became confused.

"Did it not work?" Trick also became confused. Bo shook her head.

"It was so weird." Bo's voice softened. "I couldn't let her die, but I couldn't heal her. It happened so fast, I think I started crying, I can't even remember."

"So, what exactly are you trying to figure out? I feel like I might have lost you somewhere."

"Honestly, I'm not even sure. I want to know why she helped me for so long if she had planned to hurt me. I want to know why her chi tastes so differently than any other kind of chi I've ever tasted. I want to know why she gave me a speech in my bathtub. And why she drove off a cliff after we decided to work together." Bo's cell phone rang. "It's the hospital."

"Answer it." Trick encouraged.

"Hello?" Bo's voice was anxious. She listened to a woman on the phone. "Yes, of course. Thank you. I'll be there right away."

"Good news?"

"Dyson is awake and fine and ready to be released. Tamsin is doing better, but she's still sleeping. I'm going to get Dyson and make sure he's safe and home and then I'm going to visit Tamsin." Bo got up from the bar, taking one last sip of her beer. "I'll call you later."

"Let Dyson know if he needs anything to give me a call. Be careful." Bo left the Dal. Trick went back to cleaning glasses.


It was raining outside. Bo zipped up her leather jacket and made a quick dash for her car. She quickly entered and got fastened in. She began driving to the hospital.

'Lauren, where did you go?' Bo thought to herself. 'None of this is like you. I really hope you're okay.' Bo's mind wandered during the ride. Her heart began feeling unexplainably guilty. Then her mind wandered to Tamsin. 'Your eyes are both brown and blue. Brown and blue. Tamsin, do you love me?' Bo shook her head. 'No, it could mean anything.' She let out a sigh. 'Only one way to find out, I guess. Do I really want to know?'

Bo arrived at the hospital.

"Dyson!" Bo threw her arms around him. "I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried." Dyson ached a little in her embrace.

"I wasn't too sure I was going to be okay either. But I'm okay now. Just very sore." Dyson looked over his body. "Amazingly nothing got broken." He pulled back from Bo and smiled.

"You got really lucky. What got into Tamsin? Why did you guys go over that cliff?" Bo questioned him.

"It's very fuzzy, Bo. I can't really remember. You may need to ask the source yourself." Dyson semi-shrugged his shoulders, not sure what else to say. He made a small wince of pain.

"Alright. Well, let's get you home so you can rest. Are you all settled and ready to leave?" Bo looked around to see if he had anything lying around of his. The hospital room looked so unwelcoming. The lights were so bright; the walls were so bare. The bed was the only thing that looked comfortable, but with the rest of the environment, the bed probably lost its relaxed feel. 'Dyson was only in here for a day, but Tamsin…' Bo's thoughts began to drift to her. 'Dyson can handle waking up alone. He's strong. He's a wolf. But Tamsin, the last time I saw her she was so fragile. What if she wakes up alone in here…'

"Bo?" Dyson tried to snap Bo out of her thoughts.

"Sorry. I just kind of… spaced out." Bo gave an apologetic look.

"Is it Lauren?" Dyson asked. He remembered what Lauren did. He remembered that she saved him. But he wanted to wait until Lauren was found to tell anyone. Especially Bo.

"Yeah, I'm just worried." Bo answered. She knew that wasn't the only thing on her mind, but the thought was still there. She didn't feel any real need to tell Dyson about her worries over Tamsin.

"We'll find her, Bo. Don't worry. I'm sure she's safe." Dyson tried to reassure her. They exchanged friendly smiles. Dyson signed his paperwork as the nurse came in and they left the hospital.


Bo and Dyson entered his apartment. Dyson laid his bag down from the hospital and walked over to his bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and pulled his shoes off. Bo walked over to him and sat beside him on his bed. He took some pain medicine.

"Dyson…" Bo started, feeling like she should say something.

"Bo, I'm fine, really." He interjected. He gave a half smile. Bo looked down at her hands.

"I'm sorry. I hate that you're always getting hurt because of me." A tear fell from Bo's eye. She looked at Dyson filled with grief.

"Bo, you never could have known this was going to happen. It wasn't even your fault." Dyson tried to argue knowing he would lose.

"It doesn't matter whether it was my fault or wasn't. You still got hurt. You got kidnapped. Lauren tried to kill you. Taft tried to kill you. I guess even Tamsin tried to kill you." Bo's nerves began to break.

"Lauren didn't kill me though. Truthfully I don't think she was ever really going to. Taft, well, I got that bastard. And Tamsin… she's my partner. What happened wasn't done intentionally to hurt me. You can't blame yourself. You did nothing wrong. You came to save me. And look at me now. I'm safe. I'm home. And you're here with me." Dyson put his hand on Bo's. Bo nodded her head.

"I guess you're right. It may not have been my fault, but…" Bo shrugged. "I guess I can't blame myself though. I just wish I would have known this was going to happen before hand so I could have stopped it." Dyson seemed a little shocked that Bo didn't try to argue with him.

"Well, it's over now."

"It's not over either. Lauren is still out there somewhere." Bo's worry began to take over. "I miss her, Dyson. I don't know who she has become and it scares me."

"Hey now." Dyson's voice became very calm and gentle. "Lauren is still Lauren. She always will be. She's been under so much stress for so long that this may have just been her way of releasing it all. But she is still the same old Lauren." Bo began crying. Dyson put his arms around Bo and pulled her close. "Hey, come on. It's going to be okay. I promise. We'll find her, Bo. We'll bring her home."

"Thank you, Dyson." She wiped her tears and gave him a half-hearted smile. She looked at the clock. "Shit. It's after visiting hours. I wanted to pay a visit to Tamsin tonight. I guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow."

"Well, I don't think she'll be going anywhere tonight. So I think it'll be fine if you see her in the morning. What happened between you two, anyway? Tamsin seemed to be different." Dyson moved his legs behind Bo and laid down on his bed. "Sorry, I hope you don't mind. It's just starting to hurt sitting on the edge of the bed like that."

"It's fine. Get as comfortable as you need." Bo turned to face him, placing one leg on the bed and curled under her other leg. "Okay, where to begin?"

"How about the beginning." Dyson cracked a smile.

"Smartass." Bo smiled. "Okay, let's see. Will an abridged version work for you?"

"I'll ask questions if I need more details."

"Okay. Well, first Tamsin wanted me in jail. Second she helps me find Kenzi. Third she hates me. Then she tries to sabotage me with a druid." Bo paused for a second. "Then she breaks into my house, drinks my alcohol and joins me in the bathtub…"

"Wait, what?" Dyson breaks out laughing. "She joined you in your bathtub?" Bo smacked him. "Ow!"

"Yes, she climbed into my bathtub. Told me I was perfect. Made a speech about my eyes. I thought she was going to kiss me and then she got out and walked out of my bathroom covered in bubbles and with my booze." Bo let out a chuckle at how retelling the scene sounded. Dyson tried to hold back the laughter as much as possible because of all of the pain he was in. It was difficult for him to resist though.

"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?" Dyson still trying to hold down his laughter.

"Because your wolfy butt had been captured." Dyson nodded his head.

"Okay, so wait. While I was captured you were playing bubble beards with Tamsin? Geez. I feel the love." Dyson joked, his pain medicine starting to kick in and make him feel a little loopy.

"Dyson, it wasn't like that at all and you know it." Bo defended herself, knowing he was only joking. "Can I finish now? Are we done with the bubble bath?"

"Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and finish." Dyson laid his arm above his head.

"So next I find her in Lauren's apartment. Eating cereal and wearing Lauren's bathrobe. I had no idea she lived out of her truck. It kind of makes me wonder where she stashes her nice wardrobe." Bo spaced out for a split second. "Anyway, we found a lead on Lauren that lead us to you. We get there. Tamsin takes a bullet for me. Almost dies. I try to save her with my chi, but my chi doesn't work on her for some reason."

"Wait, isn't she always wearing that little lightning bolt necklace?" The wolf stopped her.

"Yeah, why?" Bo wondered where he could be going with this.

"Well, it's possible that her necklace could have immunity to the powers of others. She's a Valkyrie. It wouldn't be uncommon for her to wear that. Especially with how long she has been around. They're rare, but if anyone would have one it would be her." Bo sat there and thought for a moment.

"Dyson, you're probably right." Bo nodded her head. "It would make sense." Dyson smiled feeling accomplished at his theory.

"Glad I could help." Dyson yawned. Suddenly feeling extremely tired. "Bo, do you think we could finish this tomorrow? My pain medicine is making me really tired…"

"Of course. I'll let you get some rest. If you need anything just call me or Trick." Bo leaned down and kissed him on his forehead. "Get to feeling better, okay?"

"Of course. Goodnight, Bo." He snuggled into his covers as Bo made her way out the door.

Bo got into her car and drove herself home.


Okay, so this is going to be a Valkubus fic. I may touch on some doccubus, blt, and/or Kenzi/Lauren. I don't really know yet. We'll see. Katie suggested I write how I wish season 4 would play out, so… let's do this. Enjoy.
