Feeling her father's hand on her cheek, Fia couldn't stop herself from smiling and briefly closing her eyes then reopening them and looking at him as she listened to what he had to say. "I understand, but I got your back too dad...you taught me well" she told him, hugging him for a moment. She didn't want to forget the way he was being now, but knew when she went back to her's and Drake's time, they had to forget what they did in this time. But right now, she wanted the memories of John still bring willing to have a bit of hope they could win this battle, wanting to be close to his daughter because it still hurt that in her time, he had completely closed off from everyone, even her.
"Come.on, let's get moving before Chas tells us to hurry up" she then said to John.

Kay and Chas let Drake get Serena into the can first before they thought about entering the cab. They looked at Drake and nodded, "we're gonna do our best to not to lose anyone." Chas confirmed, pulling out his car keys from his pocket and walking round to the driver's side and getting in. Kay then got into the back of the cab, guessing John will want the front passenger seat next to Chas.

John nodded and moved to the cab, the others all climbing in and shutting the doors. Serena looked at Fia and asked “so…the ones who keep jumping your father and me…are they the same crew?”

With everyone in the cab, Fia looked at Serena as she got spoken to. It was a question she didn't went to have to answer but she did anyway, "yeah...it's all connected with the same people" she replied. She then looked out the front window ahead of her from her seat as Chas started the car and began driving to the docks. On the outside she seemed calm, but on the inside she was nervous about what they were going into. It felt like for her and Drake, they were reliving the start of their horrors all over again.

Kay glanced at her daughter and she wished she could have been able to tell what she was thinking but she couldn't. She remained silent for the journey as did Fia. So many thoughts plaguing both their minds. This could be the night that they lose everything and for Fia and Drake, again, or it could be the night things change for the better and they actually get a win. Both of them terrified losing any of the group whilst Josh and Trish remained back at the mill House.

Serena was guiding Chas and said “let’s park a few blocks down…out of sight. The more of a surprise we can get the better”

John looked at his girls then an odd idea struck. He pulled out some small chain from his pocket and muttered into his hand, the chains glowing gold for a moment then faded. Then he looked back and said “Fia, what can you tell us about what we are about to walk into?”

Chas let Serena guide him before nodding in agreement. If she hadn't have said to park a few blocks down, he would have done anyway. "Way ahead of ya there Serena. I thought of that doing that for everyone's sake" he told her, giving her a small smile despite how determined and focused his mind was. When he reached a suitable location, he pulled up into a parking spot at the side of the road and stopped the car.

Fia and Kay watched the road wizz by before things slowed down and they pulled up to a safe spot and John spoke to Fia. They barely noticed or at least, registered that he was charming a chain in his hands in the front seat. "Not much, they're changing their tactics to attack now and not once myself and Drake are in the world and teenagers. But it'll be an ambush no doubt. That doesn't seem to have changed. In our time we did a spell to see if there was any way of breaking the loop, and every single one encompasses an ambush of some kind. So we're gonna need to be on guard the whole time." She explained.

"I don't like that at all." Kay stated. "Mum, as long as we keep Serena and you away from Midnite and that mage we can win this. I believe that, I have to believe that" Fia replied.

John opened the door and muttered to the chain again. The chain broke apart and flew into the each of the others pockets. It was a strange move, but John felt it might be the different between life and death. A good luck charm so to speak.

Serena got out as Chas did and then waved her hand, sending a shadow into the car and said “protect the cab and call it if we need a fast get away…”

Drake was looking around, thinking and planning. “I think we should go in from above…”

Fia and Kay both got out the car when John did and saw the chain pieces go into their pockets. Looking down at the pocket then at John, they were curious to what he was he doing but neither wanted to say anything. They looked over at Serena when she instructed a shadow to stay with the cab, before Fia looked at Drake and nodded in agreement. "Agreed. At least some of us need to go above, have a bird's eye view of everything and everyone so to speak" Fia said, knowing exactly how ironic or cliche her choice of wording of but she was unapologetic with it.

"Keep Serena and Kay back initially, keep them out if sight. Myself and John can go in first, keep Midnite and his cronies distracted for as long as possible whilst Serena goes and gets Bane. We can't go in guns blazing and this needs to be done smartly. One false move and this whole rescue mission goes down the drain" Chas commented his opinion. "Okay, so how about me and Drake take Serena and Kay up top on a roof with us, you guys try and Midnite to show you where Bane is and when we get a signal with the location, Serena can sneak in, retrieve Bane and get back to us on the roof. If things start to go south, we'll drop in as backup?" Fia suggested.

John nodded and said “sounds like a great plan to me. The kids are in charge of protecting Serena and Kay. Now” he looked at Serena and Kay and held up a finger. “This is not a time to be selfless and jump into the fight if we get into a jam. I mean it. You two are his targets. He can’t get you two. So for my sake…don’t come in unless you have no other choice. Alright?”

Serena sighed but nodded, knowing her job was to get Bane back. “Alright John…” Drake put an arm around his mother and smiled. “We got this”

Kay still didn't like the kids being involved but she was slowly coming to terms with accepting it as they did know more than she or the others did in this moment. The plan seemed like a solid one that Fia suggested and figured it couldn't go wrong if they all kept to the plan. Or so she hoped. She listened to John and nodded, "I promise" she replied.

Fia stood beside her mother and nodded, "what Drake said. We got this and be careful yourself." She told her dad, knowing all too well how reckless he could be, a trait that never changed even when she came into the world. "Drake, let's get up top, we can follow them from up there whilst being look out" she then said, looking at Drake before looking at her mother, "I take it you know you in this time how to fly with your wings?" She asked, not sure how much Kay had learned at this point. "No, but Fee can help me" Kay admitted.

Drake looked at his mom and asked “and can you teleport?” Serena smiled and nodded. “Ya, I can use it. Not pretty but”

John moved to the girls and kissed fia on the forehead and Kay on the lips. “Be careful you two…” then he turned and walked with Chas to the side doors, Serena and Drake using their shadows to vanished and reappear on the roof above them.

Fia welcomed the kiss on the forehead as it was a rare thing for her lately to happen due to his future self's grief taking over him completely. She stepped back when he went to her mother and glanced away like most kids do when he and Kay shared a kiss briefly. Looking back at him when he told them both to be safe she nodded. "We will, I'll keep mum safe no matter what, I promise" she told him back before he went to the side doors of the building they needed.

Kay and Fia both looked at each other as Kay telepathically asked Fee to give her help with flight, and Fia just summoned her wings herself. Fee abided by Kay's request and let her have control of her orange and red wings, Kay then looking and seeing how much more yellow and orange Fia's were in comparison to her own. "hers are brighter due to her young age, as she gets older the reds will become visible" Fee explained to Kay. "Come on, Drake and Serena are already up top" Fia told Kay, bad with a nod, both Fia and Kay propelled themselves upwards into the air, hovered for a second or two for Kay to get used to being airborne then with a swift flap up then downwards of the wings, they soared upwards to the roof and met the other two on the roof, landing one foot at a time on the concrete and a little step forward. They then both shook their shoulders to make their wings disappear into their birth mark tattoos.

Downstairs Chas snuck round the building with John, "so how you gonna distract Midnite long enough to trick him into showing you where Bane is?" He asked his mate.

John looked at the door and then said “how I normally do. Make fun of him until I piss him off enough that he slips up. He will want to show me up. If he comes at me let him at me”

Serena knelt down over the window into the building. “Come on Bane…where are you…he must be in a seal…”

Chas sighed at John's choice of plan. He should have known better than to think John pick any other plan. "Of course that's your plan" he replied, shaking his head, but then looked at John again, "alright...take the lead" he agreed even though he didn't like the idea whatsoever. He just hoped this wouldn't go south for them all. He made one last glance up toward the roof of the building even though he couldn't see the others on there due to the angles, but he couldn't help but glance up anyway. Opening the door, he stepped to one side to let John in first, before he would follow in after him.

Kay knelt down beside Serena to help finding Bane, but like her, she couldn't see him either. She didn't know if it was due to some kind of spell Midnite was using or if it was purely the angle they were looking in by. "John will pull through Serena, don't worry. We just have to wait for his signal" she tried to reassure her. Fia kept a sharp eye all around them, stating back with Drake, "this will work..won't it? Drake, I can't lose my mum..." She said quietly.

John smirked and walked into the room, whistling like a idiot then yelled “oh papa midnight! It’s old Jonny here! I need to settle a bet with Chas here. Come on out so we can have a lovely chat!”

Drake nodded and said “as long as we keep both of them out of his hands…it will be okay. I think the best plan is making sure Mom gets to Bane as soon we can. I think that’s what went wrong before…” Serena nodded and said “I know I just hate this…I don’t feel right without him with me…”

Chas followed on in behind John, shaking his head as he did so. He should have known better than to think that John would have entered Midnite's area with anything but arrogance. "Constantine! What are you doing here?" An accented voice came from the shadows, a voice that could only belong to Papa Midnite. Moments later the tall broad man stepped out and faced the man he called his for for years. "You got some nerve coming here uninvited" he told John, not even giving Chas a moment of his time.

Fia nodded at Drake's words. She didn't like suddenly becoming the one with all the worries about this plan, but seeing both their mothers looking down on everything in front of them, just brought forward the urgency of this task and not letting it go wrong. "Yeah, you're right.." she replied to him. Kay could understand where Serena was coming from as she knew she wouldn't feel right if Fee got ripped from her. It was bad enough feeling Fee come close to a death when she was being tortured and having her very essence ripped from her in Seattle, so she could easily imagine how Serena must be feeling.

John held open his arms. “But we are mates aren’t we? I mean, we have been thru so much together. But I’m really here to settle a bet. Seems the rumor is you have caught a big time guardian…Chas thinks it’s true but I think it’s a load of horse dug. So we decided to come down and have a look for ourselves”

Drake smiled at her and said “don’t worry unless it’s needed Fia. Have doubt and doubt will come up. Remember who said that?”

Serena held up a hand and said “hold on…I think I got him…it’s weak…but it’s coming from the middle of the warehouse…”

Midnite found himself standing in front of them both, but at a distance as he watched wig scrutiny at John's actions whilst listening to what he was saying. Hearing that rumours were going round of his capture made look at his people with suspicion, all of which shrugged or shook their heads to remove the blame from themselves. They knew better than to go against Midnite and his ability to lose his temper quickly. "And what if it is true? What do you hope to accomplish by knowing the answer?" He replied, standing tall and unwavering. "Besides, we've heard our own rumours about you Constantine. Word in the downworld and He'll is that you 'ave a phoenix in your care" he then said back, with a calm that could be unnerving to anyone not in this world.

Chas tried to remain silent as he promised but he couldn't stop the somersaults his stomach was doing out of nervousness when Midnite mentioned Kay, by race rather than by name. "I don't like this John" he muttered for only his mate to hear.

Fia sighed and smirked when Drake used the old age saying they were always having to live by. "You'll never make me forget those words will you?" She said to him. "But thank you, I needed to hear it." She added instantly after before turning to face Serena when she said she could sense Bane. She walked over and squatted down beside Kay, looking down. "You sure it's him?" She asked.

John smiled and said to him “that’s not really a secret mate…” he cleared his throat and said “just to tickle my brain a little. I’ve never seen a guardian spirit outside of their host before. So is it true?”

Serena nodded and said “I’d know him anywhere…his in the middle but his weak. If I can get to him I can give him the boost he needs to break free if need be”

Midnite kept his stoic demeanor up front but inside in secret, he was getting irritated by the fact he couldn't rattle John just yet. At least now he knew the truth and that the demon that came to him with the information was indeed telling the truth. John did have a phoenix on his side. "It's true" he simply and calmly stated, taking a few steps further to the centre of the room and scraped his foot in the dirt, breaking a voodoo seal that was drawn in it. By doing so, he revealed Bane in the middle of the room.

Kay and Fia both nodded at Serena confirming it was definitely Bane she could sense, before looking back down at the events unfolding below ten. It was then they saw Midnite reveal Bane just as Serena had sensed him to be. "Him being in the middle there is gonna be tricky to get you in" Fia commented.

John blinked, looking over the seal like a bee checks out a bee. Bane was in his wolf form, bone to the floor with magic chains. He looked like he was in bad shape. He opened his eyes weakly and stared at John and Chas. Chas would hear in his mind “you can’t bring her here…it’s a trap for Serena…please…warn…john…”

Serena cursed softly seeing bane. “We have to get him out of there…” Drake was thinking fast and looked at Fia. “What if you and I go down and break the seal? That’s all we need to do. Bane can vanish into the shadows and find Serena if we get her to the ground floor”
