Serena looked around and asked “what the heck happened? How did I…” she saw the kid and said “I think I can stand with a little help…” Bane helped her up slowly and said “Your safe now Serena…”

John smiled weakly and said “well…she’s the perfect one to me…should we call? Check on them…”

Kay stood up and stayed close by incase she had to jump in to help Bane keep Serena upright. "Bane and Fee dealt with it. Fee got rid of the guy who took you and the kid, Bane got you both to safety" she explained then walked to the kid and lifted him up into her arms to carry him to the car. "we should get you both to the car." she suggested, "actually.. Bane do you remember the way to Sam's? If you do, can you take Serena there whilst I drive the kid to the hospital?" she said changing her mind.

Sam smiled back. "glad to hear it. Kay deserves to be happy with someone" she said back, "give them a few more minutes, they might be driving for all we know" she suggested. "but if we don't hear the car outside or from them in say.. Five or ten minutes then we call?" she added.

Bane nodded and said “I’ll get her there. You promise you’ll be alright on your own?” Serena looked at Kay and said weakly “are you sure Kay?”

John nodded, his vision going in and out as he said “not sure…I’ll last that long love…”

Kay nodded at the both of them, "I'll be fine. I know Seattle like the back of my hand. I'll call when I'm on my way back to Sam's" she reassured them. "just, make sure John is okay for me until I get back?" she requested.

Sam frowned when John said what he did, "try and stay awake for me John, you're going to be fine though. Just keep chatting with me. When did you know you wanted to be with Kay? Tell me anything" she said to him, trying to come up with some topic to keep him talking.

Bane nodded and said “we will take care of it. Be safe Kay” he took off running, Serena laying on his back so she could save her strength.

John sighed and said “honestly I’m not even sure when it happened…it just happened and it felt right…supposed to be…”

Kay watched Bane run off with Serena, hoping they'll be safe as well. She walked to the car, carrying the kid as she did so and as she arrived, she carefully opened the back seat door and put him inside on the back seat. Closing the door after, she jogged round to the driver's side, opened the door and got in wasting no time in driving to the nearest hospital.

Sam smiled softly and nodded. "that's a good sign when it happens like that. I have to say you two look so good together." she told him, finally sitting beside him. "tell me more, I wanna know everything, I need you to keep talking to me even if you ramble." she added.

Bane headed to the house, feeling Serena was going in and out of it. He knew she was drained and he just had to get her somewhere safe.

John closed his eyes a moment then said “it’s getting too hard to focus now…Sam how bad is the bleeding?”

Sam looked at John and checked him over before looking down at his leg. "It's slowing down, you've not gone through the wrapping yet so you should be okay" she replied to John, hoping he could hold out long enough for Kay to make it back and be able to heal him up again. She didn't understand how Kay had the power of healing others, but she sure as hell hoped she could heal John. She then checked her phone for the time and wondered what was taking the others so long to get back. "I'm gonna try calling Kay alright?" she told him.

With thanks to knowing the back streets and avoiding traffic, Kay managed to get to the nearest hospital within five minutes and pulled up in the drop off area. She left the engine running but got out of her side of the car and called over a doctor who wa outside. "Excuse me! I found this kid out cold on the street! I don't know who he is but he was alone, so I brought him here" she explained. "Okay, lets get him inside" the doctor replied, hailing a pramedic for a wheelchair to be brought over, which one was and with the help from Kay, got the kid in the wheelchair. "I have to go as I was on my way to work but I hope he'll be okay" Kay said, starting to head to the driver's side again.

John nodded as his head started swimming and he muttered “Sam…something isn’t right…did I get hit somewhere else?”

The door opened and Bane walked in with Serena passed out on his back. “Kay should be right behind us. We found the other vessel. She was taking him to the hospital. What’s going on here?”

Sam looked him over but just as before, she didn't see any other injuries on him. "I can't find any, you should be fine. Maybe a case of a bit of shock or something, but other than that you should fine" Sam replied to him as Bane arrived with Serena on his back. She looked up at him as he explained that Kay shouldn't be too far behind, "Good because I'm not sure how much longer John can stay conscious. I've seen to his gunshot wound but he's not getting any better" she explained to Bane.

Kay ignored the doctor when they tried to convicne her to stay, instead getting into the car and driving off, desperate to get back to John when a wave of dizziness started coming over her, knowing it wasn't her but JOhn's pain. "hold on John, i'm coming" she muttered.

Bane laid Serena on the other couch and shifted back to his human form. “It could be the pain from Kay. She got hurt a little during the fight. That plus the shock could mess with him…”

Sam nodded, "is she okay? John said he could feel her get hurt." she asked, now worried for her sister. She really hoped it would be a case of shock for John and nothing else. She knew it would be hard enough as it stood now to try and explain who all these people were to her girlfriend when she got back, but that was something she could easily do when it came to it.

Kay eventually got back and knocked on the door, not having a key and with the knock Sam jumped up and rushed to the door, opening it and seeing Kay. "About time! John needs you!" she told her, dragging Kay inside and pulling her into the living room. Kay then saw the state of John and rushed to his side. "John, hey hey...I'm here" she told him, running her hand down to his gunshot wound.

John smiled weakly and said “hey love…I’m really okay…just sore that’s all…” Bane was sitting by Serena who was sleeping on the couch. Bane asked “did the boy get checked in alright?”

Seeing John manage a smile at her put her at ease slightly. "I'll sort that out for you" she told him, when Bane asked her about the kid. "yeah, he did. He's safe" she told Bane before turning back to John and placing her hand over his gunshot wound once more and focused on trying to heal it, at least enough to make him not feel so sore or groggy.

She looked up at him and with her free hand, found herself stroking his hair a d side of his face. "you worried the hell out of me. We're lucky Sam knows what she's doing when it comes to injuries" she told him.

John nodded and said “what happened to the mage? Did we learn anything about why he thought what he did?” He sighed as the pain lessened and he said “never seen a magic user pull a pistol before…”

Kay shook her head, "he had started the sigil to start bringing back the goddess or something and when Bane removed the kid and Serena it was about to implode. Fee just about got me out of the way in time. The mage imploded with the sigil" she explained. "he was deranged, but he's gone. Fee made the choice to save me over dragging him out as well and risking my life" she added as she finished healing his leg.

She unwrapped the good wrapping Sam had done from his thigh just to make sure she healed him correctly, pulling it off she ran her fingertips over where the gunshot wound once was, but now was only a faint mark. Satisfied with it she patted his leg and relaxed on the couch.

"you keep saying Fee... Whose Fee?" Sam asked, making Kay look at her and sigh. "oh right..do you remember when we were kids and I'd wake up in the middle of the night saying about I had dreams of a voice named Fee talking to me?" Kay replied in question, Sam gave it a thought and nodded, "its the same Fee?" Sam queried, "yeah, turns out Fee is my phoenix half of my soul. She helps protect me and if I have to use my phoenix side, she takes control. We share my body" Kay explained. Sam gave a small 'huh' noise as she took in what shhe was being told, finding it be another thing that was completely mind blowing.

John sighed and moved his leg, sighing that the pain was gone. “Thanks love…Chas would have been pissed me coming back with holes in me…” Bane held up a hand and said “it’s like me and Serena. I’m a spirit guardian…and she is the human version of that guardianship”

Kay smirked but it wasn't one of amusement or happiness. "yeah most probably" she replied as Bane went into more detail about what Fee and herself was like for Sam's benefit. She let herself droop sideways so she could rest against John out of tiredness and comfort. "I'm just glad I could help you" she added, kissing his cheek and then resting against him again.

Sam looked at Bane and nodded, appreciating the explanation. "no wonder you guys seem to just fit so well." she commented. "so what is the plan for you guys now?" she asked them all.

Bane frowned and looked at Serena. “I’m not sure…she will need time to recover. But we could still drive back whenever?” John nodded weakly and said “we need to call Chas and check in…his going to be mad at me”

Sam wasn't surprised that Bane said Serena needed time to recover. In her eyes, both Serena and John did. "we'll you're welcome to crash here for the evening before heading back if you would like" she replied to them. Part of her was offering because she really did think they needed it and part of her was offering because she didn't want Kay to leave.

"we'll call him, don't worry. Just relax for a bit first" Kay replied to John, whilst giving her sister a look of thanks for the offer. "if the others are fine with staying for a bit longer then we will take you up on the offer" she told Sam.
