chapter 8

Hope took a monumental sigh, knowing that once she explained Lydia's powers to the two girls opposite her, she would change the course of this world's history.

The Tribrid went through the list of the powers that Lydia has and a small definition of what this ability entails: Harbinger of Death Sense - The ability to sense when someone is close to death by using Death's power, Clairaudience - Unique ability to hear the details surrounding someone's death, Premonitions, Divination, Psychometry, Automatic Writing, Supernatural Sensitivity - Being able to sense out other supernatural beings and Supernatural Immunity - The effects of supernatural creatures not working on her like an Alpha Bite, Kanima Venom or for instance Hope's Compulsion and also being able to use Rowan Wood and Mountain Ash unlike all the other supernatural creatures.

Hope had described these powers as passive and that they have always been active since the night Peter bit her and jump started her abilities. Lydia's subconsciousness has been subtly using these powers throughout the last 6 months but with Peter Hale's involvement, it stunted Lydia's powers, making her go into a fugue state more frequently than she should have.

Another thing that Hope brought up was that Banshees were actually human with access to the supernatural and that's why she has so many passive abilities rather than super speed, super strength or accelerated healing.

With some training or focus on her abilities these passive abilities could be accessed more freely, become easier to interpret and understand what her powers are trying to tell her, instead of how the Pack handled Lydia's powers in the normal timeline.

Shooting in the dark while trying to stay alive since her Banshee abilities always strived in the presence of death approaching. Which in Hope's opinion isn't the best plan for Lydia to learn as it puts too much stress on her mental health. Constantly being bombarded by her Death Sense over and over and over until her powers would overwhelm her and potentially knock her into a catatonic state for an undefined period of time.

This information was both empowering and devastating for Lydia to digest as she was finally getting the answers that were plaguing her mind since the night she woke up in the hospital with bite marks littering her body. It sounded as though without training her abilities could possibly put her in a psych ward if she wasn't careful and that scared her.

Lydia questioned Hope, wondering if all of her Banshee abilities were passive.

Hope shook her head in disagreement. "No, You have one active power. One that I'll admit I'm not exactly keen on teaching you how to use but I will. My ears will hate me and probably bleed but I believe that everyone has the right to defend themselves. So I'll bear the pain and teach you how to protect yourself."

The strawberry blonde looked intrigued as she wondered what her power would be. Allison was also interested in everything she was learning about her best friend but kept a comforting hand on Lydia's knee which the other girl had a death grip on as shown by Lydia's white knuckles.

"You said that my power would make your ears bleed. Does that mean my active power is sound related?" Lydia asked the brunette.

"Yes. It's called a Banshee Scream. Without training your Scream is able to reach the ears of just about any supernatural creature with enhanced hearing. It's also a way for your passive abilities to announce themselves. Usually a Banshee Scream is an indicator that someone is going to die. If you can learn to use this ability without the need to announce someone's death, the Scream can be a very powerful attack. One that even I would hate to be on the other side of." Hope informed the Banshee and the Huntress.

Lydia tilted her head in thought as she scrunched up her nose. "So my power is to scream? How anticlimactic."

Hope rolled her eyes. "Lydia… Your Scream can act as a concussive blast and for those of us with supernatural hearing, can deafen us temporarily or depending on how close you get, permanently that is if the Scream doesn't kill them. Your Scream could literally make someone's brain blow up in their head. Does that sound like your power is weak? That it is to be taken lightly? No, your Scream is dangerous and a powerful weapon… In certain circumstances your Scream could be used to level an entire town."

The strawberry blonde paled significantly as the Tribrid described just how dangerous her power could be. Lydia got a vacant look in her jade-green eyes as she pictured events playing out just as Hope said. Allison grew more concerned for Lydia as her friend's hand went slack at the information that was given to her.

"Is there any way to stop something like that from ever happening?" Lydia asked in an emotionless tone.

"I don't know. I would've said yes before we came here as I only knew one method for your Banshee abilities to be enhanced. Trephination." Hope said with a hint of worry and concern coating her tone.

Lydia blinked as she shivered looking at Hope in horror. "Someone can enhance a Banshee's ability by drilling a hole in their skull? What the fuck?!"

"Wait. What?! Who would do such a barbaric thing?" Allison nearly shouted as she shifted closer to the strawberry blonde.

"People who want to cause mayhem, strife, chaos or death… Then there are the staff of Eichen House." Hope added after a moment of hesitation.

Lydia froze for a minute before slowly looking up towards Hope with anger and hatred in those usually intrigued and inquisitive eyes. "Did they do this to my grandmother? Did they drill a hole in her head?"

Hope nodded her head as she quietly answered. "Yes."

Lydia wanted to scream to unleash all her anger and sadness. So she did. Hope knew that this was a possible outcome to telling the truth but she didn't have the heart to keep this secret from the strawberry blonde for however long she and Daphne would remain in this universe.

But with Allison here they didn't even know if they could leave without taking the Huntress with them due to their connection.

Hope raced over to Allison and pulled her away from the distraught Banshee before erecting a powerful privacy and silencing spell around the strawberry blonde. The barrier had only just been placed into effect before Lydia Screams.

Even with the protections in place the Scream still managed to bypass the spells to some degree as Hope's Werewolf and Vampire side dropped to the ground in pain as she covered her ears and yelled.

Lydia's Scream lasted for nearly 20 seconds while Daphne and Allison were crouched over the writhing Tribrid on the ground.

Allison was glancing back and forth between her friend and the brunette lying on the ground, grimacing every so often when a flash of unbearable pain zapped through her body, although the pain was mostly focused around her ears.

When the Huntress chanced a glance off to her side to observe Daphne she also noticed that the Ice Witch was also grunting in pain, more than she was. Allison was confused as she thought that both of the girls had figured out how to mute the effects of their bond more than she had with them. Until a sudden stray thought of Hope mentioning how Daphne could redirect pain unto herself entered her mind and she looked over Daphne in awe.

The blonde was doing her best not to show her pain but it was a lot harder than she originally thought, especially when she realised that Allison was looking at her in amazement. Finally figuring out that she was taking most of the pain that was being transmitted across the bond.

Hope remained on the ground with her hands covering her ears while Lydia sobbed, dropping to the ground with her legs folded underneath her. Daphne motioned for Allison to take care of her best friend as she broke through Hope's weakened privacy spells. Meanwhile Daphne was going to be taking care of Hope as she cast some healing spells, focusing on her wife's ears as that was where all the pain was settling.

The Tribrid groaned as she softly spoke to the blonde. "Do you understand now why I'm hesitant on teaching Lydia? Her Scream hurts and apparently not even my spells can block the effects of her Scream."

Daphne just stroked a hand through Hope's soft hair, knowing that any sounds will most likely disconcert the Tribrid as she pulled Hope into her lap. Alexandria was out hunting when the girls first arrived but at the intense pain coming from her Familiar and immediately lightning travelled back to the house, looking on in concern from the table.

Eventually Hope's healing had kicked in along with the spells that Daphne had cast on her ears as they started ringing for a few moments as the inner muscles of her ears repaired themselves slowly.

"Ow. That sucked… I think you may have to teach Lydia how to Scream Daph. I don't know if I can do this over and over." Hope admitted as she started pushing herself up so she was leaning against Daphne's chest instead of her lap.

"I can certainly try but you may need to give me some prompts since I have no idea what I'll be doing." Daphne offered.

Hope turned towards the blonde as she raised an eyebrow. "You think I have any idea how to train a Banshee?"

"More than I do." The Ice Witch instantly responded as she thought about all the information the brunette already had on the subject.

Hope just sighed as she turned over to Alexandria and patted the distressed bird while resting her head against the blonde.

Allison was still consoling her friend while Hope managed to shake off the powerful Scream that Hope had contained to just around Lydia herself. Allison never heard a single sound penetrate through that invisible barrier around the strawberry blonde Banshee. It was strange, looking at Lydia as she Screamed but not hearing a sound emanating from her friend.

An alarm blared from beside Alexandria causing the Thunderbird to jump in fright before searching the table for the offending noise. Hope reached over picking up Lydia's phone that she had placed on the table earlier.

"Lydia… You're going to be late to meet your mum if you don't leave in the next 5 minutes." Hope announced as she read the message written on the alarm the strawberry blonde had set on her phone as a reminder.

At the mention of meeting her mother Lydia finally managed to pull herself out of Allison's arms as she turned to Hope reaching out silently. Hope placed the other girl's phone in her hand and watched her quickly open the lock screen and send off a text.

"I have to go…" Lydia announced distractedly as she pulled herself off the ground before looking back to Hope.

"I'm sorry about… That." Lydia tried to apologise as she frowned, taking in Hope's mussed appearance after her Scream had hurt the Tribrid before leaving the house.

Hope and Daphne blinked in Lydia's direction as she closed the door without a goodbye. Allison looked glum as she stared towards the door before sighing quietly and collapsing on the couch next to her.

"Are you alright Allison?" Hope queried the other girl as she heard the Huntress' sigh.

"Yeah… I just would never have known about the complications that Lydia could have by simply being a supernatural being. It's unreal…" Allison replied before trailing off as a disturbing thought crossed her mind.

A small flash of a vision with Allison, her father, mother, aunt and her grandfather hunting down someone who looked awfully like Lydia was burned into both of Hope and Daphne's minds showing what had distracted the ravenette.

"Hey, sweetheart. That will never happen. You've learned from your mistakes and you won't allow that to happen now. Lydia is your friend." Daphne mentioned as she moved over to kneel in front of Allison, placing her chilled hands on the raven-haired girl's knees.

Hope turned to Alexandria murmuring under her breath that she was fine and practically pleading with the golden bird to keep an eye out on Lydia for the next hour or so, just in case.

Alexandria gave a miniature temper tantrum as she complained that Hope kept sending her away during all of the interesting conversations. Although Hope raised an eyebrow in the bird's direction as she pointed out that Alexandria was eavesdropping on these private conversations anyway.

The Thunderbird tried to feign offence at the observation but disappeared in a crack of lightning when she realised Hope wasn't buying it.

Daphne chuckled as she was looking back at the Tribrid with a smirk on her face as she argued with her Familiar. There was a hint of a smile on Allison's face as she watched the sunlight bird do the impression of 'nope, fuck this shit, I'm out' before flashing away.

"What? She's trying to say I don't include her in things when she knows that's not true." Hope defended herself.

"Hope darling? I'm starting to think that you have unhealthy attachment issues with Myrddin and Alexandria since the moment they could listen to all the bullshit that resides in your attractive yet highly inappropriate head of yours." Daphne pointed out from her spot in front of Allison.

"Shut up." Hope grumbled as she pouted, crossing her arms over her chest causing the other two girls to laugh at her.

Once Daphne noticed that Allison was no longer looking so depressed at the mental imagery of hurting her best friend she stood up and motioned to the seat beside the Huntress, silently questioning whether or not she could sit there. Allison looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding.

Daphne was beaming as she sat down next to the ravenette, poking out her tongue towards Hope, taunting the dominant Werewolf girl knowing that her partner wouldn't do anything while Allison was here. One of Hope's eyebrows rose, surprised at the childish action.

Hope decided to sit on the table in front of the pair so they wouldn't need to twist their heads to the side to talk to her.

"So are you here to learn how to set up mental walls in your mind to start blocking us out?" Hope wondered as she lifted her legs up underneath herself so she was sitting cross-legged in front of them.

Allison blushed at the attention being given to her from both of these beautiful women and bit her lip. Hope made a low growl in the back of her throat that only Daphne could hear and when the blonde turned to Allison to see what enticed that response from the Tribrid she groaned over her bond to Hope, agreeing that Allison shouldn't be able to bit her lip like that because it's criminal.

"I probably should. Lydia's Scream was proof enough that you weren't lying about pain being transferred across the bond. Even with Daph trying to redirect the pain to herself I still felt like a freight train basically screeched through one ear and out the other." Allison answered as she moved her hand up to her right ear and wiggled her finger in her ear to 'pop' it as though the memory of the Scream irritated her ears.

The Emrys couple were more than willing to spend the next couple of hours teaching Allison how to build a mental wall around her mind and even showed the Huntress what their soulbond looked like within their minds.

Hope's mind was surrounded by fire and lightning while Daphne's was a thick wall of ice that reacted aggressively if someone she didn't know tried to breach her mind. Hope and Daphne help Allison by telling her that she can strengthen her barrier with meditation and mental training.

By the end of the two hour mark Allison was able to make a barrier around her mind but it was by no where near strong enough to hold out a Legilimens like Snape or even a low levelled Legilimens like Nicolas or Perenelle.

However it was a start and Allison is not a Witch or supernatural. The Huntress literally has to start from the ground up.

Hope apparated away to France to pick up some lunch, even though it was close to 9pm Hope still somehow managed to find someone to sell her some beignets. When the Tribrid returned she practically skipped over to the dining table where Daphne and Allison had set up the table while she was gone.

"What made her so happy?" Allison whispered across to the blonde who just shook her head at the sight.

"Hope has a love that she can not deny… For beignets. Some days I think it's the thought of beignets that gets her up in the morning." Daphne cheekily replied only to receive a middle finger in reply from the cheerful Tribrid.

Allison laughed at the banter before approaching Hope who tilted her head in confusion as she placed down the rest of the food except for the delicious pastry. Daphne's jaw nearly dropped as Allison reached into the bag was holding and pulled out a beignet, taking a healthy bite out of the corner of the French dessert.

Hope didn't know whether to throw fireballs or not but apparently her blonde soulmate used her shock to steal a beignet from the open bag. "Oi! My beignets! Get your own!"

"I thought you said that you were married in Daphne's world? Wouldn't it be 'what's yours, is mine'?" Allison retorted with a sly smile as she took another bite.

Hope pouted for a second at that reasoning while Daphne laughed, while hiding behind the Huntress.

"Then what's your excuse for stealing from me?" Hope asked with a slight glare towards the pastry that was in Allison's hand.

"You want to build a relationship with me. Sharing food is one such activity to get to know one another." Came the witty reply from the ravenette.

The Tribrid blinked dumbfounded at Allison's reasoning as she finished off the first beignet and dug her hand in the bag for a second pastry. "These are really good. Thank you."

Hope looked down to her half empty bag before placing it on the table, wiggling her nose in annoyance from losing half of her favourite food before plucking one out of the bag, chomping away at it as she grunted out. "You're welcome."

Allison turned her head over her shoulder as she remarked. "Wow… She is really salty isn't she?"

Hope huffed as she grumbled her reply. "If I knew you wanted some I would've gotten a bigger bag to share, but Daph only likes them occasionally and she said no when I asked her earlier."

"But you never asked me." Allison pointed out the flaw to Hope's logic.

Hope's nose twitched as she realised the Huntress was telling the truth and sighed as she gave a genuine offer for the ravenette. "Would you like me to grab you a bag each time I apparate to France?"

The blonde's eyebrows rose in surprise at the offer as she didn't even offer this to her but then again like Hope mentioned she doesn't eat beignets as frequently as Hope does.

The Argent girl was shocked at the quick change of Hope's mood when she understood that Allison raised a fair point. "Maybe not every time but I wouldn't be against it."

Hope nodded at the request before eating her second beignet and sliding the bag over to Daphne.

"Thanks darling." Daphne said as she took the last pastry and placed it on her plate as they all started serving themselves with the food Hope brought back.

After lunch the girls chatted for a while before switching back to building up her mental walls as Hope was very concerned about the full moon rising in 4 days. Not for herself obviously, but for Allison and in a smaller case Daphne.

Hope couldn't wait until the full moon as her Wolf wanted to be let out. Possibly being able to sense so many Werewolves in the same location and wanting to show these wolves who their rightful Alpha and Queen was.

Except for the little problem from what Hope remembered about the upcoming days.

Allison would be out on the night of the full moon trying to help Scott while Daphne was more than likely to be standing next to Hope during her shift.

With Daphne being close by to Hope during the full moon, Hope's shifting wouldn't hurt Daphne as proximity and the knowledge of this being intentional pain made by either herself or one of her soulmates doesn't affect the other soulmate whenever they are near. Since the pain wouldn't be affecting Daphne, she can focus on taking most of the pain away from Allison. However the Emrys couple wanted to make sure that they wouldn't incapacitate the other girl while she was hiding from homicidal Alphas. So they decided to teach her everything they knew about blocking their soulmate by using the bond as a backup plan.

Allison wondered why they didn't start with this form of disconnect to stop her from feeling them and use the opportunity to get down and dirty with each other.

Hope couldn't choose between wanting to smirk at the idea of having sex with the blonde or looking disturbed as she did this once to Daphne and that was when they first arrived in this universe. Daphne only looked sad rather than excited as she turned to Hope.

"That's because shutting us out using the bond hurts worse than what we would've experienced normally. I would prefer to feel Hope shift 500 times, non-stop and under the most stressful environment there is so it takes the longest time to shift than feel her squeeze the bond shut again." Daphne told the ravenette and Hope just looked down in absolute shame that she made Daphne feel that way.

"Oh… I didn't realise." Allison awkwardly mentioned as she shivered at the comparison.

"However Hope and I discussed this very idea over the past few days and we want you to have the option to use this method if you should ever need it." Daphne mentioned with a displeased frown.

"You'll test it on me." Hope interjected as she looked over to Allison.

Daphne may not have known all the steps to shut off the bond as Hope had accidentally done to try and block her from seeing Allison's death but now that she knows the Ice Witch just wished she could forget everything she learned along with Allison and Hope.

When Allison applied Hope's instructions on how to shut down the bond to the Tribrid the effect was instantaneous.

Allison looked as though there was no humanity in her eyes as she focused on cutting off Hope from the bond and Hope… Hope was whimpering and curled herself into the tiniest ball Daphne had ever seen.

The blonde could literally feel the pain resonating from all three of Hope's supernatural sides: The Wolf had the least amount of pain as she was focusing on Daphne, her particular Mate, Hope's Witch side was having an actual mental breakdown as there were stray thoughts of wanting to kill herself for not being good enough for her Soulmate while her Vampire side was seriously fighting with her Wolf to slam her humanity switch off so she wouldn't have to withstand this unbearable pain.

Daphne was paralysed at sensory overload coming from Hope, tears started streaming down both of her cheeks like a river.

Allison stopped what she was doing after only 5 very short seconds as she couldn't ignore the self pity and self hatred that was flowing from Hope to Daphne and into herself. Allison cried as she felt everything that Hope felt about herself through Daphne and then from the source herself.

Hope's unfiltered emotions nearly knocked Allison on her ass, in fact it did, but the Huntress threw herself towards the compacted form of the Tribrid knocking them both over.

Allison apologised repeatedly for what she did and Hope sent as much love and regret across to Daphne as she finally understood why Daphne was so angry with her.

The blonde still hasn't moved from her spot, not realising that she would've felt the backlash of Hope being blocked out from one side of the bond. Hell she didn't even consider that the shock and pain would affect Allison through her since Daphne never blocked off her bond to Hope during this exercise.

"Let's never do that again." Allison mentioned after nearly 30 minutes of laying on Hope, showering her with apologies while Daphne had slipped in behind Hope cradling the Tribrid in her arms.

"Good idea, love." Hope replied hoarsely from all the suffering her three sides went through as they battled against each other for the first time since she became the Tribrid.

"I'm sorry. I never meant to put you through that pain. Either of you. I'm so sorry Daphne that I made you experience that awful feeling again. I'm so sorry." Allison cried into Hope's shoulder after the brunette had shifted, lowering her legs from her tight embrace and Allison had used that opportunity to scoot into Hope's lap.

Hope rested her head on Allison's ravenette locks as she used the new position to face Daphne.

"Bloody hell… I'm not sure which one sucked more. Being cut off from one of you like that or practically living through your death when we arrived here." Hope spoke quietly, the movements of her jaw massaging Allison's skull as the Tribrid circled her arm around the Huntress' lithe body, keeping her close.

Hope was absently rubbing her thumb up and down the line of Allison's spine in an unconscious effort to calm the distraught girl in her lap.

Daphne leaned her chin on Hope's other shoulder as she murmured out, just loud enough for both girls to hear. "Let's not tempt Fate more than we already have. No more dying or shutting one another out by using the soulbond. I think we could all do without that immense feeling of despair."

Allison shuffled her hand that was pinned between Hope and Daphne and placed her hand against the back of the blonde's neck threading through the baby hairs located there, making the Ice Witch shiver.

"Sounds like a plan Daph. I think we've all experienced too much pain in the last week… For Allison, probably a bit longer, right love?" Hope agreed as her inner Wolf, Vampire and Witch were finally able to hum in content as the warmth and safety surrounded her.

The ravenette let out another hard sob as she nodded her head against the comforting shoulder, tightening her grip around Hope's waist and Daphne's neck. Allison clenched her eyes shut as she went through all the memories she has accumulated since her time in Beacon Hills.

She's loved. She's lost. She's been betrayed. She's been hunted. She's been the hunter. So many things have happened to her and her family in only a short 6 months. It has been an unreal experience.

"Something like that." Allison mumbled in reply.

Hope felt a tinge of regret as she brought up Allison's past by accident, Daphne could feel Hope's need to to stand up and move. The blonde removed herself from Hope's back and stood up, waiting patiently as Hope managed to pull her legs under herself and Allison.

With a small grunt Hope pushed herself to her feet, keeping one hand on Allison and the other to help her to her feet before shifting it under Allison's other leg, stabilising the Huntress in her arms.

Allison had to adjust her grip and wrapped her arms around the brunette's neck as she buried her head into Hope's neck and hair. The Huntress took a deep breath and sighed peacefully as she smelled forests, something close to a hint of iron, probably blood if Allison had to guess. A crack in the ozone like a thunderstorm was settling above their heads and some other scent that she didn't have a name for but it felt like everything was finally coming together in her heart at the scent.

The corner of Hope's mouth lifted up in a grin as she listened to the serenity and peace radiating from the Huntress as she heard the smells that Allison could get off her. Her Witch side smirked wider as she picked up Allison's acceptance of her scent and how it made the ravenette feel safe as Allison relaxed in Hope's arms, like she fit there.

The Tribrid casually paced back and forth, shifting her right arm under Allison's thighs while she rubbed the ravenette's back. When Daphne approached the pair, Hope came to a stop and stared at the blonde with her soft sea-blue eyes facing her first true love.

Daphne reached out, sliding her hand between Hope's shoulder and Allison's cheek, gaining Allison attention as she lifted her head up to stare at Daphne from over the brunette's shoulder as she leaned against the blonde's hand, closing her eyes as her cool touch soothed her heated cheeks from all the crying.

"Please know Allison, that you are always welcome in our home. As a safe haven or a way to piss off your dad if he does something stupid and idiotic that you need a break from his overprotectiveness." The blonde offered sincerely before adding a little joke at the end, using the bond to show that Daphne was only trying to make the Huntress laugh.

Allison let out a tiny chuff of laughter against Daphne's hand before slowly lifting her head away from Daphne's hand. The blonde's artistic fingers managed to collect a stray lock of hair as Allison pulled away, both ice coloured eyes and russet brown followed the interaction as though they were transpired by the soft raven hair falling through Daphne's pale and calloused fingers.

After the moment Allison's strand of hair finished falling through Daphne's fingers the Huntress untangled her limbs from around Hope's body and the Tribrid slowly loosened her grip. Allison's feet gently touched the ground as Hope's hands came to rest on Allison's waist for a few moments as the other girl took a moment to catch her breath.

"I'll take that under consideration gorgeous… Sorry, I don't know where that came from." Allison thanked the blonde for the offer before her face flushed at the endearment that randomly blurted out of her mouth.

Hope smirked as Daphne blushed as well before replying. "It's absolutely fine, so long as you don't mind the occasions when Hope or I give you some endearments."

Allison's eyebrows rose as she observed the couple with a disbelieving expression on her face. "Occasional? I think between the two of you you've called me multiple nicknames and I don't think you have any plans on stopping unless I specifically tell you not to." Allison remarked knowingly.

"Hey, if you had a problem with one of those nicknames you can tell us to stop like with –"

"My beautiful Huntress?" Allison interrupted Hope who just pursed her lips into a thin line as she stared cheekily in the ravenette direction.

Allison blushed at the intensity in Hope's sea-blue eyes as she shyly whispered. "How about we come back to that one later?"

"Oh?" Hope questioned with a large smile.

The ravenette pushed some of her hair back behind her ear and looked embarrassed at being caught out by the Werewolf girl, "Shut up."

Daphne laughed at the interaction.

It was getting dark outside when Allison remarked that she should be getting home for dinner with her father and that Allison wanted some time to herself. Also to reflect upon the relationship Hope and Daphne shared with Fleur while in the Hogwarts universe.

The three girls had also spent some more time building mental walls in Allison's mind in preparation for the full moon in a few days.

Although before Allison had Daphne apparate her back home since Hope didn't want to push Chris any further than she already has. Give Argent some time to get used to the idea of being in close proximity to yet another Werewolf whom his daughter seems to have another undeniable attraction to, much to his utter annoyance.

The ravenette made a query to the supernatural pair. "Soooo… I remember you both showing me and Lydia that you guys have a training room. By any chance does it get any use or is it just there to look pretty?"

Hope chuffed in amusement as she smiled, wishing to test Lydia's nickname for the ravenette. "It does get a lot of use Ally."

"Is that your unique way of asking if you'd like to have free reign in our training room?" Hope playfully stated as she mentally rolled the nickname through her mind a couple of times before realising that she doesn't mind the shortened name.

"Maybe… Or maybe it's a good way to see the two of you in some workout gear, hopefully the ones that show off your midriffs." Allison flirted back with a grin at the opportunity to fight a Werewolf.

"We've never used those types of workout outfits before but I promise to wear one if you do, love." Hope happily bantered back.

Daphne could only blink as her mind tried to process the sight of both of her soulmates in partially revealing outfits. One glistening with sweat on sun-kissed ivory skin, the other showcasing abs on tight tanned skin that she just wanted to lick along the lines of those perfect muscles.

Allison choked slightly as her eyes widened in shock looking at the blonde while Hope just snorted. "Wow Daph! Show us what you really feel."

"Oh bloody hell! I just broadcasted that to both of you, didn't I?" Daphne swore as she scratched at the back of her neck awkwardly.

"Yes and the more devastating part of that little vision is that you didn't include yourself… Well… Other than licking my abs." Hope teased the blonde with a shit-eating grin on her face.

Daphne only groaned at the taunt as Allison's face went a deep beet-red.

"I'll see what I can do about getting Daph to try on one of those workout outfits when you finally decide to take advantage of our home training room. That way we can all ogle one another shamelessly… Unless Lydia also decides to accept our offer to train her. That could make things a little awkward." Hope added until a sudden thought crossed her mind making her frown slightly at the foreseeable interruption.

"Actually… I wonder if we could convince Lydia to wear one of those gym outfits?" Daphne and Allison froze at Hope's brazen thought and stared at the Tribrid as if she's lost her mind.

Hope noticed the stares as well as the confused emotions and shrugged. "What can I say? Your friend is hot Allison. Even you can't deny that."

The ravenette blinked in shock once, then twice before speaking. "I'm not sure whether I should be jealous or not. The words you spoke scream jealousy, but everything in my head, my heart and soul is telling me that I have nothing to fear."

Alexandria whistled as she came flying in through the open door. The golden bird landed on Hope's shoulder and immediately cuffed the Tribrid over the back of her head about 5 times before Hope managed to beg for forgiveness.

"How come I always get smacked on the back of my head anytime I say something inappropriate?" Hope wondered as she glared at the bird who was puffing up her feathers in a rage glaring back at her Familiar.

"Because you're basically a plethora of inappropriate jokes, innuendos and swears? Someone needs to keep you in check. If it's not me, well apparently you have two birds that would just love to smack you over the back of the head." Daphne responded with a raised eyebrow as she finally managed to regain her composure after Alexandria whacked Hope over the head.

"I'm going to take Allison home." The blonde announced.

The Huntress held out both of her hands, silently asking for Daphne to hold hands while apparating instead of the shoulder side-along apparation.
