Chas somehow wasn't surprised that both men would take it the hardest of the women going dark. He knew what John was like, he had been there when he lost Astra, when he lost anyone he liked, whether it was down to his own doing or not. That history made Chas know that there was no way he would cope well at all losing Kay, especially because of Serena if she goes dark side. Hell, Chas wouldn't even be surprised if John held it against Serena for some time in the kid's timeline, but that was something he wasn't going to bring up. "so there is something Trish is capable of? Ability wise?" he couldn't help but ask Drake.

Fia and Kay both nodded when John said about making all seeing eye charms. Fia couldn't help but smile at the suggestion as it felt so familiar to her of her father before things went to utter shit. "you really do always have an idea for everything" she remarked.

Drake paused then said “I don’t know if I can share that one…Fia and I aren’t sure what’s safe to share and what’s not” Serena meanwhile was rubbing her temples, a headache forming suddenly. “What I don’t get is what happened to Bane with all of this?”

John smirked and said “I’m a smart bloke. Which brings up a point of all seeing…why doesn’t Bane stop Serena from going dark? I mean, he would be the first to see it coming”

Chas nodded at Drake's reply, it made sense that he wouldn't know the answer, or if he did he wasn't going to say it. It was just as he assumed and he accepted that. He then looked across at Serena when she began speaking and asked about Bane, "he said he was going to scout out Midnite in the shadows. I tried to convince him otherwise but seems he's as stubborn as you are" he told her with a slight smirk.

Fia shook her head in amusement at her father's quip about being a smart bloke. It seemed that even now in this time, he was as witty as ever. "we don't know" she shrugged in response, "its one thing we never fully got an answer from. Something had to have happened in some way to stop him warning us" she commented.

Serena frowned and closed her eyes to check in with him as Drake frowned. “Bane? His…not here right now?”

John looked at her and asked “em have you ever seen him in any of his forms?”

Chas and Josh both shook their heads when Drake asked again if Bane was not here in this very moment. "it seems not no. I hope he's alright" Josh replied to Drake. He didn't want to give that answer but he hardly had a choice in the matter, it was the only answer he could give and hoped that Serena could somehow get into some sort of contact with him.

Fia nodded at John's question, "I've seen him in his human form and shadow form, but that's baout it. He's usually in one or the other in my time" she told him, not wanting to give too much information about the future and their extended family. "why do you ask?" she asked him back as she leaned against the wall.

(ooc: sorry for late reply, this week has been hectic as I got work at the weekend)

Drake went white and said “Mom don’t leave the house. Not until he comes back” Serena frowned and said “Drake what’s wrong?” Drake swallowed and said “just…your not…secure without him here to support your wall…”

John looked at Kay and said “because maybe that’s the key to what happened. Bane is normally with Serena at all times…could that have changed? Somehow she lost him?”

Josh looked between Drake and Serena, wondering why Drake went white as a sheet at the mention of Bane not being around them currently. He was about to ask the same question as Serena did, but she beat him to it. "Wait...so if Bane isn't with her, that makes her vulnerable to what happens in your timeline?" He asked his future son.

Fia and Kay heard John out, Fia as always impressed with how easily her dad seemed to put everything together and get it spot on, all without her saying anything. "I wish I could say you were wrong dad but....you're not. Without Bane, the shit show of our timeline begins" she explained to them both. "So we gotta go get Bane back somehow...right?" Kay asked in suggestion, though she felt like what she said was easier said than actually done.

Drake swallowed and said “I’m just…I don’t want to put mom at risk…she’s a target right?” He was shaking and stammering. Serena looked up and said “darling? What’s wrong?”

John frowned and said “where is he anyway?”

Josh felt like Drake was keeping things from them but he didn't want to ask for dear it was far too important information that they wouldn't get an answer anyway, so instead he walked over and placed his hand on the boy's shoulder, giving it a squeeze of support, unable to know what else he could possibly do. "Whatever happens I'm sure we can figure it out and stop it" he told Drake.

Both Kay and Fia shrugged, "I don't know, Chas and Josh will know though. Bane was already gone by the time me and Drake got to them" Fia explained, "so let's get back into the main room with everyone else and catch up on what they've discussed yeah?" Kay suggested, looping her arm through John's then taking his hand, interlocking their fingers for extra support for him and herself. Fia noticed and couldn't help but smile slightly, glad that that action was done even in this time.

Drake was shaking as the memory of what happened triggered his breathing to get sharp and he tried to get a hold of his chest. Serena stood up and said “Drake do you have asthma?” Drake stumbled back, his eyes glowing from stress. Serena looked at Chas and said “get fia. Now”

John nodded and said “alright. I’ll try and track him when we have a chance”

No one in the main room liked what they were starting to witness from Drake. It was clear the kid was starting to have a panic attack of some kinds and something they discussed about Bane not being around was clearly the trigger point for it. Not even Josh's hold on the boy was working. Chas nodded when Serena told him to get Fia, to which he instantly walked at a quickened pace to find her onto the almost bump into her as Fia, John and Kay started to walk back. "It's Drake, we need your help Fia" he told her.

Fia was just turning round to get into the main room when she practically collided with Chas. She was about to make a joke when he stressed that something was wrong with Drake, making her run over and seeing he was going into one of his panic attacks. "Drake! Drake I'm here mate" she told him, gently coaxing Josh away and placing her hands onto Drake's arms. "Deep breaths Drake, slow deep breaths..." She began saying calmly, as she focused her calm energy onto him to give him that extra help. "You're alright Drake...you're alright. I'm here,I got you" she told him, just like she always did to calm him.

Serena moved to rest a hand on her sons face and muttered “my family had the genetics for asthma. We need to get him to calm down before he stops breathing”

Drake leaned on Fia, trying to breathe as he said “Bane is missing…his going to come for mom…Fia I can’t…” he lowered his head as his head spun. John cursed ran to back room saying “I think I have an inhaler somewhere!

Fia nodded in agreement, already knowing this information and always helped when she could. She didn't want Drake to stop breathing as Drake was the closest thing to a brother figure she had. She knew her parents had no plans on having another child, especially as she herself wasn't even planned. So Drake was the next best thing in her life to a brother without even being her brother biologically.

"It's gonna be okay Drake, that's why we're here remember...to stop it" she told him, holding him as he leaned on her. As John ran off declaring he has an inhaler somewhere, she called back, "we have one with us! It's in my satchel backpack! Grab it!" She didn't want to make a big deal of packing one before she and Drake left their time but there was no way she wasn't going to go prepared, so she packed it behind Drake's back out of love for his health. She had hoped it wouldn't be needed but it seemed her hope was misplaced.

"I'm on it" Kay said, seeing the bag Fia mentioned and walked quickly over to it, opening it and finding the inhaler in an inside pocket, where she pulled it out and handed it over to Fia, Serena and Drake for one of them to take it.

Serena took it and charged it up as John ran back with another one he kept stored in the back. Serena placed it in his hands and put it to his mouth, helping him push the button. He took a few breathes and then his breathing calmed.

Serena was still, her mind going a mile a minute. John knew the look she had. It was the one he was hiding from Chas right now. They both wanted to go hunting. They wanted to end this. Serena stood and said “John…” John nodded and the pair went into the kitchen. John looked at her and said “Kay’s the target…” Serena nodded and said “and I’m the bullet. I need to get bane back. He shouldn’t be this long…something is wrong” John nodded and then said “Serena…your more then a vessel…”

Serena nodded slowly and said “maybe it’s time to find out what that more is…I will get Bane back.” John smirked and his eyes glowed. “Im coming too”

Fia stayed with Drake the entire time, keeping ahold of him to be that shoulder to lean on, quite literally. She never left him when he got like this and she wasn't going to start now. Seeing him take his meds and begin to calm into a slow but regular breathing pace, she sighed with relief seeing it was working. "You're all good" she told him, hugging him protectively when Serena turned to her dad. With Serena walking away from Drake and Fia, Kay walked up and rubbed Drake's back soothingly.

Kay didn't like it when both Serena and John went into another room to talk, she got the feeling it could only mean one thing- they were thinking on going after Bane. She didn't want either of them to go but something in the pit of her stomach told her they were going to go anyway. She looked at Chas and he recognised the look enough, making him walk in the direction of the other two. "You're going after Bane...aren't you?" He said matter of factly. "Kay isn't going to like it ya know" he pointed out.

Drake coughed and said “sorry…I never get attacks until this all started…I should have been more careful…” he looked at Fia and said “don’t let her go alone…”

Serena and John looked at Chas. Serena said “from what the kids can tell us, me not having Bane starts this mess. So, we are going to find him and then make sure the darkness never falls” John was thinking for a moment then said “but…maybe we don’t go just us. They won’t expect all of us showing ip would they? If this is papa midnight…then I need to be there to handle him. But I will need back up..a lot of it.”

Fia shook her head at his words, "Drake, don't apologise for this. I know you okay? It's completely normal to be like this over this shit show" she explained to him, before instantly seeing a look of disapproval for her language by Kay. "Sorry..." She mumbled. She then pulled Drake back just enough to look him in the eyes, "I won't let any of them go alone, I'm not having a repeat of well...everything" she told him.

Chas was level headed enough to hear them both out and take note of their side of their plan before he spoke back to them. He had to agree that it did seem like Bane being missing started the whole mess in their timeline, and if what they would know was true, and the demon who could mess with time to put it into action a lot earlier was doing this, then they had to act quickly. He also agreed that Papa Midnite won't be an easy for to fend off alone, there had been plenty of times when he or Zed in the past had to save John's ass. With a heavy sigh, he folded his arms and nodded, "fine...we all go but by doing so we're not only having extra fire power, literally, with Kay, we're also putting her right in harm's way. I hope you're prepared for the risk that brings John" he told him.

Drake coughed and nodded. “Deal…sorry aunty Kay…it’s been a crappy few days…Fia always claims I have moms positive attitude to blame…”

John frowned but Serena said “it won’t be safe to leave her alone either. I don’t see any other way…” John rubbed his neck. “We need a way to plan this…”

Kay still found it a bit strange being called an aunt, even if biologically she wasn't his aunt, it was clear that was how their family saw her. "Serena definitely does have that" she replied, noticing Fia smile sheepishly at it. "When the others get out of the kitchen area I'll go get you a drink okay?" Fia told Drake, a well versed strategy she took with him all the time.

Chas sighed as he thought about they said. They were right, leaving Kay at home was just as risky, even if they did have her in a house that was fully warded to the highest level. "We definitely need to plan this thoroughly. I can only think we find out from the kids if we can, which way was done in their time. If Kay was left at home on her own, we take her with us, if she came with us, then we leave her at home with as much protection you can muster, even possibly with Josh" he suggested. He didn't even know if this was the plan they did in the kid's time, and was just going on assumptions to try and think up some kind start of a solid plan.

Drake nodded weakly and said “I’m not useful like this…I don’t want to be a weak link…”

John nodded and said “sounds like a plan to me. Let’s go brain storm with the others. I didn’t want to stress Drake out more with our talk…” Serena nodded and started to the living room when a pain hit her like a hot rod thru her body. She stumbled and her breath froze in her chest. She could only mutter “Bane…” then she fell forward.
