Lust Meets Wrath

Lost and Found Part One

Lena sat there in the nursery watching over Havu. "I've been so lost... my reasons so scattered... my mind ever curious. My father's family... why did I never look?"

Striker had been standing at the door. "You were busy dealing with life. Working to keep an apartment,  making friends and chasing me... now you have a family of yer own." He walked over and nuzzled her. "The things that should matter drift away when life happens." 

She purred and kissed him briefly.  "Thank you for helping me."

"Eh.. it gives Brash and Drake something to do. Come on we have guests." He smiled and steered her out so Havu could sleep. 

In the livingroom Ray, Kygo and Belle were relaxing on the furniture. 

Lena smiled some and ran over to them. Kygo chuckled and grabbed her in a warm hug. "Hey now, we heard ya could use some company."

Ray smiled. "Heard yer looking for yer family."

Belle smiled. "Kinda thought the three of us were part of that."

Kygo grinned and held her. "Yeah, what gives?"

Lena giggled some and hugged him. "Of course ya'll are! But I have always wanted to meet my dad's side of the family." 

Kygo chuckled. "Mmmm suppose that makes sense." 

"Mhm, but it is nice to have company." She wagged her tail. 

Ray nodded some. Belle smiled and wagged her tail. "Besides we had to check on ya after everything."

"Ha, fair enough." She agreed and purred softly. 

"So what was yer dad like?" They asked.

"Dad was awesome. He told me about how he grew up on a horse ranch. Helped raise the foals, trained them to take a rider. He taught me how to be good to a horse too. Told me stories about hogtying a hellcat once and showing off the scar he got across his throat for it. Said "Had the damn thing dug any deeper, you wouldn't be born sugarcube." He had fun nicknames." Lena smiled remembering her father fondly. 

"He sounds amazing." Belle smiled. Ray and Kygo nodded some. 

Striker was checking his hellphone. 

Lena regailed them all with stories her father told her. Wars, fights, feuds, the festival he won. How to gentle a horse, how to hogtie anyone and any creature. "He even taught me how to shoot a pistol."

"That explains a lot." Striker chuckled. 

"What the hogtying or my shooting?" Lena teased and Striker stared at her blushing. 

"Ahem..." he lowered his hat.

Belle giggled. Kygo and Ray chuckling heartily.

A guitar strum that sounded autotuned came from Striker's phone and he checked his messages. "Oh shit..."

"What?" They all said.

"Brash and Drake found yer Pa's family farm... darlin' yer family raises horses!" Striker grinned at Lena. 

"Well yeah..." 

"No Ah mean they do it for a living. Raise and train and everything." Striker showed her photos the guys had taken. 

"Whoa... those are draft horses... runners... endurance horses... my gosh." Lena smiled. 

"Now Ah know why Bombproof trusts ya so much, ya got horse whisperer blood in ya." Striker smiled. 

"Can we go see them?" Lena asked. 

"Yeah! We can bring Havu along too." Striker grinned. 

Belle smiled and nudged her fiancée. Kygo cleared his throat and stood. "We'll uh be going then. We'll see you at our wedding?"
