Chas stepped out of the front door ahead of Drake. He glanced around and couldn't see any threat so far, so he gestured for Drake to follow him out. Stepping forward, he decided to to circle the perimeter by going clockwise around, only unlike last time he did checks, he was much more thorough and made wider search. "See anything?" He asked.

As Serena stepped inside, Fia finished and closed the circle. Proud of her work, she looked up when John asked a question that surprised her. The John in her time wouldn't let her take the lead on something like this, even though she felt she was more than capable to do so. Yet she also knew, or at least, assumed it was because John was a lot more protective of her than he outwardly showed. "Sure, what's the spell?" She replied, stepping up to him to look at what book he was holding.

Drake was using the shadows to check around as well and said “nothing so far. I think Bane more then likely scared anything around here…”

John turned the book to her and pointed to the page. “This one here. Easy and straight forward. I think you can handle it right?”

Serena looked over looking a little nervous “you sure about this John? Fia?”

Chas wasn't finding anything either so far and that was exactly what he wanted. "I'm not finding either, but ya can never be too careful. Always good to truly make sure" he replied to Drake. He didn't know if that was a lesson he would have been taught in his time or not, but it was a lesson he always stood by firmly. Especially when it came to being around John Constantine.

Fia looked at the spell in question that John was showing her and nodded. "I can handle it" she replied to him before turning her head to Serena. "Yeah we're sure about this, you're gonna be fine" she told her honestly. She then looked back at the spell to really memorise it in her mind. "Let's do this" she said.

Drake nodded and said “I’ll keep the shadows searching for now to be sure…luck never was one on our side at times…” he paused and looked at Chas. “How many are you up to now? Saved souls?”

Serena sighed and said “I was more worried about you two…” John chuckled and sat down. “This is Fias show. I want to see what she can do”

Chas found it sad but not surprising that luck wasn't always on the kid's side, considering it seemed their families stayed linked to John in the future. What did surprise him however was the kid's next question. "Uhh...8 I think?" He replied as he have it a quick think off the top of his head. "Yeah, I saved souls" he repeated more aure of his answer this time.

Fia looked between her dad and Serena as they spoke and couldn't help but smirk slightly, happy that John was taking an interest in seeing how capable she was. "you're gonna be fine Serena" she reassured, before she looked back at the book and took a deep to centre herself. Something she was always told to do if it was at all possible. She really didn't want to mess this up and disappoint John, even though technically he wasn't yet her dad in this time. She began to recite the spell in the book, holding out one hand to hover it over the circle around Serena as she did so. Her pronunciation was perfect of the Latin she spoke, a by product of the teaching she underwent in her time. The spell made her eyes glow their phoenix golden hue. Shadows of her phoenix wings cast out onto the walls behind her, despite the wings not revealing themselves physically.

Drake smiled and said “you know that goal of yours is one my moms favorite things about you. That you always do the right thing for others…you get a lot more in the future…I don’t think you’ve reached your goal just yet last I asked…”

Serena watched impressed as John smiled “that’s my girl…now see if anything comes out or even your senses picking up on anything…”
