Kay sighed, she wish she knew what else to do for him. "I'm wondering if I should get an actual doctor to come over" she thought out loud. Deep down she wanted to just heal him herself but she wasn't in the mood for a possible debate about that option.

Chas and Josh looked at each other with a look of curiosity and confusion that matched perfectly before they then turned their heads in unison, and looked at Serena. "what do you mean, what happened there? We don't recall anything" Josh asked.

Trish looked at her and said “Serena said it would take time. We just have to get him to rest. Maybe use your magic to just get him to sleep? That wouldn’t be pushing too hard would it?” John frowned and said almost drunkly “hold on…no Jedi mind tricks…”

Serena walked over and said “right here there’s a lot of energy marked. Someone was working a spell right here but they didn’t finish. You didn’t see anyone standing here or something?”

Kay couldn't help but think the kid had a point, it would take time for the meds that she made John take kick in. Yet the suggestion of using her powers to make John get to sleep was something she didn't think she could do. She looked between Trish and John, "don't think that's even in my ability kiddo. Healing, coming back from the dead I can do, but making someone sleep? Don't think that's in a phoenix's ability. I don't have magic like John or Serena." she explained to Trish. "but I do think sleep would do you some good John" she added, looking at him.

Both Josh and Chas shook their heads when Serena asked if they saw anything. "no, no o e. But we're a bit pre-occupied with at the time the unknown future kid of John and Kay's and keeping John alive in the bsck of the cab" Josh replied to her. "can you tell what spell it was they were trying to do?" Chas asked her.

(sorry for delay, I had my booster jab and it knocked me for six yesterday)

Trish frowned and said “I’m sure you have magic too. Why wouldn’t you? Maybe asked your pretty friend what she thinks?” John held his head, his head now doing a dull pounding.

Serena knelt down and touched the ground, the shadows moving to speak with her. She closed her eyes and muttered “two spells were at work. Some kind of cloaking spell…and one I’ve never seen before.” She pulled out a small note pad from her jacket and drew out the spell seal she was seeing. She looked at it and said “dark magic for sure…but we might have to ask John what the spell does for sure.”

She stood up and said “okay, where did the portal open for our gang members to fall into?”

Initially Kay wondered who Trish was going on about then it dawned on her, she probably was meaning Fee. "I guess I could see if Fee would know something" she replied, looking over at John seeing him hold his head. She stretched her hand out and used her thumb to stroke his temple, "head hurting?" she asked him. She then got an idea, "Trish, downstairs there's a book on my kind. A book on phoenix's. Can you get it for me? There may be something in there that could give me a way of helping John" she told the kid.

Both men watched Serena work with curiosity and admiration for her capabilities. They were impressed by her skills and it was clear on both of their faces. By the time she looked up and asked them the next question, Josh stepped up to where abouts Chas stood, whilst Chas walked forward to get his spacing correct, "so...the hooded kid came portalling in about... Here" Chas spoke, then he stepped forward around six or seven steps, "and she sent them packing to Hell about here" he continued saying as he stood in the spot.

Trish nodded and took off out of the room. John nodded and said weakly “ya…my head is killing me…” Trish came back with the book and handed it to Kay.

Serena stood and moved to Chas and looked at the spot. “Heavy magic here…” she knelt down and touched the ground. The seal appeared glowing and she whistled “this is crazy. Chas take a picture of this thing”

With Trish gone, Kay focused on John and looked through the bottles of tablets, finding a different kind of pain relief for headaches. Taking her hand off his head she opened the bottle and handed him two tablets, "try these" she said to him after making sure they wouldn't clash with the earlier meds she gave him. When Trish came back, she took the book from her, "thank you Trish" she told her, opening the book where she began to flick through it to find any kind of information that could be of use.

Chas stepped back just enough to let Serena squat down and he wasn't expecting the sigil to reappear when Serena touched the ground. Pulling his phone out he quickly snapped a couple of pics to make sure that at least one would be good enough. "definitely has the flair of John's magic" he agreed. "I get the feeling their kid is going to be one hell of a force to be re koned with. Which I can also think will bring more dangers. The idea of a phoenix and mage hybrid blows my mind" he commented.

Trish sat on the stool by the bed, John taking the pills and swallowing them. Trish played on the stool for a moment before asking “find anything yet?”

Serena nodded as she stood up. “Ya, this is heavy stuff. Now if we can find something to figure out where these guys came from then we can follow their scent back to who hired them”

After a while, Kay did reply to Trish, "nothing so far...there's all kinds of interesting things that not even I knew about my kind, but nothing to help us right now" she said as she continued to read about how it's said her kind have control over Holy and hell fire, have the ability to incinerate a person with just a touch among other things. She even tried to think back about anything her mother could have said to her but nothing came to her mind "it's useless... There's nothing" she sighed aggravated.

Josh nodded then glanced to his left, then did a double take before walking over and crouching down at the side of the road and picking something up from in the grass verge. It was a tiny circular charm, almost like an old foreign coin but with a hole in the top. "hey guys... What about this?!" he called out, looking behind him as he stood up.

Trish leaned back then said “wait, what about tears? Don’t tears have some affect on healing or something?”

Serena jumped up and ran over, looking at the coin. “That’s a clue alright. It looks Asian I think…Chas? This mean anything to you?”

Kay looked back at the book and nodded, "yeah our tears can heal but I can hardly just make myself cry at the drop of a hat" she replied to Trish. She looked back down at John to keep an eye on him, wondering if she could begin his healing the same way she did previously. Lofting her hand up and placing it on the side of his head, she closed her eyes and focused, still not one hundred percent sure how she even did it before, but just kept thinking about how she wished to heal John. Eventually a warm and soothing glow came from her hand, travelled to John and went straight to the source of his head pain.

Chas walked over at a quickened pace and took the coin from Serena's grip so he could get a proper look at it. "can't say it fully does, but something tells me it could have been dropped by this other mysterious person. It's old....real old and not something just anyone would have around." he said back.

John groaned softly and turned his head slightly. He closed his eye as the warm feeling washed over and with in a few minutes he was fast asleep. Trish blinked and asked “how did you do that?”

Serena nodded and picked up the coin. “It seems we need to find someone who can tell us what this coin is and where it’s from…”

Kay was just hoping to relieve John of his headache, so when his head tilted to one side and he fell asleep, Trish wasn't the only one who was surprised. "I... I actually don't know. I just wanted to relieve him of his headache. Heal his pain" she told the girl honestly. "truth is Trish, I'm still learning about what I'm capable of. I had only learned what I was days before we met you and your brother. This is as new and surprising to me as it is for you" she added, looking st her hands, trying to fathom everything out in her head. "I just don't want him to hurt..." she said quietly.

Chas and Josh nodded, "I guess that's our next stop? If we csnt try and track the hidden person with it?" Josh replied.

Trish looked at John then said “maybe that’s what was causing the pain? Maybe that’s was the way to fix it. Well, now he can start to recover fully right?”

Serena nodded and said “let’s find out information on it first, that way if we can track we aren’t going into unknown territory”

"it's as good a guess as any" Kay replied to Trish. "but yes, I think now he can start to proper recover" she added, letting the tension she was holding in her shoulders to leave as she slouched for a moment to relax herself. "I just hope the rest of the group are getting answers they need" she said as an out loud thought. She then looked at the book again and down at the pendant hanging from her neck, grabbing the book and placing it on her lap yet again. "I wonder...." she whispered to herself.

"I know someone who might be able to help" Chas spoke, "Well, I say me, more like its a contact of John's. He specialises in black arts items on the side of his antiques business. I guess we could start from there?" he suggested. "it's just in town down one of the alleys. He helped us find Geraldine once" he added.

Trish looked at her and asked “I’m sure they are. My brother is smart and Serena is too. And Uncle Chas knows his way around this world better then anyone. What do you wonder?”

Serena nodded and said “good place to start. Will we need payment of some kind? Can you trust him?”

At Trish calling Chas 'uncle chas' Kay couldn't help but let a small smile appear at the corner of her lips. The idea that already Chas is seen as the uncle figure was quite something and she couldn't help but think Chas would be rather honoured at the appointed title from Trish. At the next question, her smile disappeared and glanced up at the kid. "oh! I was wondering if my necklace was in this book." she told her, as she lifted it up and over her head to show Trish. Her late mother requested she never took it off, but she didn't see any harm in letting Trish look at it for a little while. Handing it to her, she then looked through the book, "it was in a box of things my sister gave me from my late mother, my birth mother that is. I can't help but feel there's more to it than just being a necklace" she told her.

Chas shook his head at Serena's question, "since this guy saved Geraldine, John and I owed him one. We paid that back and now he owes us. This is that debt he owes" he explained. "he's a scumbag but we can trust him. He knows not to screw with John and people connected to him" he then added.

Trish held it in her hands and she said “I feel warmth from it…and light…I think your right that there is more to this then it seems…” she handed it back carefully, knowing it was special to her. “You should check the book”

Serena frowned a little then said “alright…but let’s not bring up what Kay is around this guy. Just to be safe. Who knows who could be listening…”

Trish feeling warmth and light from it was interesting to Kay and decided to remember that as she looked through the book. She took it back and put it back round her neck again. "mhm... I'm hoping this book will give me some more answers. It's not let me down yet so I'm hoping I'll still be in luck." she replied as she flicked through it, reading the odd passage as she went. Subconsciously her free hand was twiddling the pendant between her fingers.

Chas nodded firmly, "I agree with that suggestion wholeheartedly. Without John being here I'm not risking that girl's safety or life by saying something we can't take back. John would kill me just on principle if I did" he replied in agreement. He then lead Serena and Josh back to the cab, opening the door as he got there. "I'd recommend not mentioning about Bane as well Serena. Keep as much about your own abilities to yourself as possible" he told her.

Trish sat on the bed to keep John warm and said after a while “Kay…am I a freak?”

Serena nodded as she walked back and said “o wasn’t planning on it. I don’t talk about Bane unless I really have too…”
