Chas nodded in understanding at John's instructions. He wasn't as versed in this whole magic stuff as John was but at least he could do something like this easily enough. He grabbed some chalk and began copying it to the best of his abilities. He put the note in the middle of it and looked at the Latin in the book, going through the pronunciations in his head first then he began saying them out loud. The incantation made the seal begin to glow and the note to flutter in reaction to it, before the protective seal flowed above the note and then swirl around it, as it then split into two orbs, one floating towards John's bond to Kay, and one continued on toward the bedrooms. Chas followed it as he saw it go into the bedroom Kay was in and to Kay's bond. Hovering over it it then shot upward and disappeared into the air above her, as did the one that went to John.

"what the...?" he whispered to himself in confusion. He didn't even stop to see if Bane would question what it was, just rushing back to John, "the other orb... It went to Kay's bond like the other one went to yours" he told John.

Josh listened to everything Serena was telling her, his heart sank hearing it but he didn't hold it against her in the slightest, nor did he think of her any differently. "you did what you had to to save Kay. He would have killed her by the sounds of it if it wasn't for you and John. If..if you had let him live he only would have followed you until he got Kay. And if I was in your shoes and it was a case of keeping Kay alive or that psycho? I'd have picked Kay every single time" he explained to her.

Before the orb arrived in the bedroom where Kay and Fee were struggling in their slumber, Fee heard Bane's voice pierce through her sleep and with the permission granted, she sought his energy, subconsciously creating a link between them so she could source energy to help her regain her strength and Kay's. The flow of energy was like a kick of caffeine coursing through her veins when it dimmed as the orb came into the room and swirled round Kay's bond, making it glimmer then shooting up into the air and disappear.

John saw the orb and frowned, his weak mind trying to figure out what it meant. When Chas came back he said “they must be linked to me and Kay somehow…only thing I can think of is…” he paused and went whiter then he had been. Only one answer made sense.

“A blood relative…between…me and Kay….

Serena looked up at him, tears in her eyes again. “I know it was a good call but…now I feel like I’m no better then the monsters we face daily…am I becoming one too? The when Renee looked at me tonight…I feel like a monster…”

Bane watched the orb in confusion then uttered “a tracking spell…interesting outcome” he looked down feeling his energy flowing and him weakening but he didn’t mind at all. He would do anything to help fee and kay

Chas didn't know how to react to that guess, but he had to admit it did make some kind of sense. Yet it shocked him greatly, "like..like a kid or something? Bloody hell" he replied, trying to compute what they were coming to the realisation, or at least, educated guess of. It was a lot to take in and neither John or Kay seemed the parent type, but he had to admit from very little he and Bane saw of this figure, they did seem to be much younger than any of their group.

He grabbed the note when it was safe to do so and read the hand written message for himself, focusing completely on the wording used. As he read it, he fou d he had to perch on the coffee table as it all sunk in. "we won't meet for a while.... I'm proof of yours and Kay's lives get hope and better... Hmm the wording definitely seems to fit as a kid on the horizon...and why their aura felt familiar but still strange" he commented.

Josh instantly pulled her into his arms properly and hugged her protectively. "you're not a monster. You are far far from a monster. I get the feeling that in John's world this kind of grey area comes around a lot. Chas told me today that before you and Kay showed up he mostly always walks this path and world alone. He's only really had one other person recently join him before she disappeared... Went on her own path. I'm guessing this is why, because this life has a tendacy to make people do things they wouldn't normally do" he said to her. "but you aren't a monster Serena, I promise" he said to her honestly, seei g no point in sugar coating it.

Slowly but surely, the colour started to come back to Kay's face as Bane's power helped Fee to recover quicker and keep Kay calm at the same time. Her breathing went from ragged and quick from her sleep panic to a slow and steady regulated pace. Fee subconsciously soon let the link stop between them as Kay continued to sleep a lot more calmly.

John was white as he muttered “she was my daughter…coming to save her old man…but why from a group of demon thugs? That doesn’t make sense…” he held his head, the pounding still there.

Serena buried her face in his chest, shaking as she said “I just wanted to keep them safe…” she curled into him.

Bane sighed and let go, breathing hard for a moment. “Serena will feel that later but…it was needed…”

Chas shrugged his shoulders as he couldn't give John an answer, no matter how much he wanted to. "I wish I could give an answer mate... I'm still trying to compute the very ides that you become a father in the future" he replied. "I can only imagine it had to be the catalyst for something bigger..it had to be an important moment in time if she felt the need to come back here and risk ruining a timeline" he added, as he realised this was now yet another thing they had to add to the list of mysteries and problems they had already piling up.

"and that's exactly what you've done" Josh said with emphasis to show her that he really mesnt his words to her and he wasn't just lying to her to try and make her feel better. "I'm more than certain that Kay and John appreciate it more than they'd be able to convey to you."he added to her, letting her cuddle into him all she needs to.

John nodded and moved to try and sit up, his head pounding “I need to get a hold of feather boy…if this is timeline bad…I need to make sure this wasn’t really bad…” he held his chest as he tried to stand.

Serena nodded weakly, feeling safe in his arms. “I’m sorry…I’m a mess…”

Chas sighed as he tried to sit up and then tried to stand up. "no, it can wait, you need to rest first and foremost and do you really think Manny will tell you anything? he never gets involved" he pointed out to him. "He's right you know" Manny suddenly said, standing where Chas was, showing he had taken over Chas yet again. "I can't get involved with human affairs John, I can only guide to a certain extent" he added.

Josh shook his head before kissing the top of her head, "you're not a mess, just mildly complicated" he teased, trying to make her laugh in his own unconventional manner. "But we're all like that for one reason or another, so I guess that makes you pretty normal" he smiled.

John cursed and said “would you warn someone before doing that. I no, I don’t want you involved. I just wanted to check that timelines weren’t screwed up because I don’t even mess with that. And maybe you might know why tonight would have been a big enough deal to stop me getting beaten up?” He slowly got to his feet, not wanting to show weakness to the angel.

Serena smiled weakly at him and then said “alright…I’m just…” she sighed and rubbed her face. “It’s been a long few days. Almost getting sacrificed wasn’t any fun…”

Many could tell that he was injured and if he was allowed he may have actually helped by healing him, but rules were rules and he was not to intervene by healing the human he was assigned to watching over. "timeline aren't as you say... Screwed up. I do sense a change in the time lines but but it is not of end of days level." he explained to him. "I know yes, but I cannot tell you for that would be interfering, you know this John" he then added straight after before John could reply to the first half of what he was saying. "but I am sure you know someone who could give you the answers you seek if you so desperately want them. I can however confirm your assumptions on who the being was is indeed who you think." he said again.

Josh smiled before he let the smile drop again when she mentioned about almost being sacrificed. "that'll take it out of anyone I'd imagine. But I'm proud of you for getting back and still doing everything you have since. It's absolutely amazing" he told her, placing his index finger and thumb under her chin to lift her head to look at him as he smiled to her and pecked her lips sweetly, then tucked some of her hair behind her ear with his free hand. "you're amazing Serena, truly... Amazing" he reiterated.

John went even paler when manny spoke, his theory confirmed. Then he said weakly “who can we go to figure this all out then? Or is that interfering as well?” He took a couple shaky steps, fighting to stay up right but wouldn’t be on her guard around the Angel. He was tense after the few days they had had.

Serena blushed at his words and said “I’ve never…had anyone talk to me like this…not since…well, your amazing for all you have handled during all of this”

Many watched him with such a good poker face that it was difficult to tell if he was curious at John's reactions and actions, sympathetic or indifferent. "it's interfering John" he simply stated and yet again, as quickly as he arrived, he disappeared and let Chas have control of his body again. Chas gasped and looked around to refocus his bearings before sighing with annoyance. "I hate it when he does that" he complained before walking over to John and making him sit back down. "John I really wish you'd stay still sometimes" he told his mate. "but what did Manny say?" he asked.

Josh smiled at her words and pulled a facial expression that perfectly conveyed 'eh I try!' without having to say it, having this ability to naturally say so much with just a look. "I'm not gonna lie, I'm still questioning a lot of it but I'm taking it on the chin as they say, as much as I can and be there for you and Trish, as well as the others" he explained.

John was panting as he muttered “she’s my kid alright…but lucky for us it didn’t mess up the timeline…” he held his head and added “and someone I know could help with this…but I don’t know who he is talking about…” he held onto Chas’s arms, his whole body shaking as he said “I have to tell Kay…I’m not sure how she will take it but I have…” he was fading fast as he hung his head.

Serena smirked then asked “you went after John without even a question…that’s a good man in my book”

Like it was for John, the confirmation that their mysterious saviour was his and Kay's future kid was a massive mind blowing moment for his mind to compute. He made John sit back down on the couch and stayed close by. "You need to rest first, telling Kay can wait mate, she's probably resting herself and it wouldn't be right to disrupt that." he told him, he did agree that telling Kay needed to be done, but he also knew it was news that they needed to truly thik about how to break to her before telling her. It was also news that they needed to tell her when she was actually well and recovered from what she had just been through. He could only imagine how weak Fee was in her soul as well. "I don't know how she'll take it either but that's why we have to tread carefully with this news" he agreed.

Josh scratched the back of his head sheepishly as he smiled at her very kind words. "It was that or have Kay passed out somewhere trying to find him, and if I'm honest? THat woman kinda scares me sometimes" he chuckled. Kay's stubbornness that he witnessed at Renee's house was terrifying, even if it was kind of admirable that she would go to the brink of destruction to find John. Not to mention he still had it vividly in his mind how she just walked up to him and pretended to be his girlfriend in the hospital to help him find Trish again. She had a spunk about her that was utterly intimidating and terrifying. He found Serena mind blowing and quiet in comparison.

John nodded weakly and said “right…fully recovered…that’s a good…idea…” he suddenly fell forward against Chas, his strength gone.

Serena looked at him and said “she scares you? I’m surprised I don’t…”

Chas sighed as he laid John down after he slumped against him, leaving him on the couch and laid a blanket over him. "Rest up mate" he said quietly, deciding that he'd help out by tidying the place up where he could and just staying around incase he was needed by anyone. He just hope everyone would be able to get a decent sleep as they rested.

Josh chuckled at her surprise, "You weren't the one pretending to be my girlfriend in the hospital and stuff. But no, you don't scare me" he smiled at her. "Anyway, why dont you get some sleep? It's getting late, I'll stick around if you want me to just incase you need me" he told her.

Chas would hear steps and Bane stumbled the last few steps. “She is safe and asleep. I thought I’d check on John…is everyone alright down here? I smell angel feathers?”

Serena sighed and then nodded “ya…sleep sounds like a good idea…”

Chas looked up when he heard footsteps and saw Bane appear, nodding at his words as he sighed with relief that Kay was going to be okay. "I'm glad she's okay. John will go mad if she's not" he commented, before continuing on, "You smell correctly. An Angel named Manny paid us a visit as John needed to talk with him....remember our mysterious saviour?" he started talking to Bane. "Turns out that person is John and Kay's future daughter" he said, giving Bane a moment to let the news sink in.

Josh laid her down on the bed and put the blanket back over her again. He then shuffled over and partially sat up beside her to show he wasn't going anywhere and he really did mean it when he said he was going to be there for her. "Get some sleep and things will feel hopefully better in the morning" he said softly to her.

Bane frowned at the news and muttered “that’s not good…that means tonight something worse was going to happen…but what? Clearly not his death since she wouldn’t be there if he was meant to die…any clues what it was supposed to be?”

Serena nodded weakly and said “Josh…I’ve never tried to use my medical skills like that before…I still can’t believe it worked…”

Chas shrugged, "your guess would be as good as ours. We just don't know truth be told. Many won't tell him anything as it'd be deemed 'intervening'" he said, making air quotes with his fingers. "just told him that he knew someone who could help with gaining information he needed...but most people John knows? Don't exactly like him" he added. "my only guess is that John's attack would have triggered another event of some kind" he theorised.

Josh smiled, "the fact it worked is the important thing. What you did was incredible" he told her honestly.

Bane frowned and asked “well which of the ones that don’t like him could give us information m?”

Serena sighed and closed her eyes a moment. “I was going for a hell Mary in all honesty…”
