Fia wanted to help Drake but she knew she wasn't fully focused anymore. So she sighed and nodded, "okay...please get out" she told him, giving him a quick but firm hug before pulling away and going to her mum again and Chas. It killed her to see her mother looking so limp and lifeless in Chas' body, and she hoped to whatever deity would listen to her pleas to not let her mother die, even if she could ressurect. She helped Chas get out of the building, heading to the nearest exit, making sure not to let any doors shut on Chas or hit Kay as she went.

The echos of John's rage ringing her ears as they went, tears fighting to flow from her eyes. She didn't even notice that the demon had escaped back to Hell after Serena threatened him. Outside she breathed in the air, letting it get into her lungs before looking back toward the building and seeing it go up into flames, flames she didn't know how were being made. "Uncle Chas...is she alright?" She asked looking back to Chas and Kay as she saw Chas lay Kay down on a small wall so he could check her pulse. "She's alive...just" he confirmed, though he wasn't sure what relief that could possibly give to Fia.

It wasn't much of relief to Fia, but it was something. She then looked back toward the doors waiting for Drake and John to get out, her hands shaking in anxiety as she didn't want to lose either of her parents today. As the boy's got outside and ran over, she quickly shoved her hands in her jacket pockets so they couldn't see just how much they were shaking. "she is, but it's incredibly weak John...I can feel at least four broken ribs and the impact on her head has shattered a part of her skull. I don't wanna say it John but..,I think we have to let her die to come back healed" he told his best mate tentatively.

Midnite looked at Serena, not wanting to take her seriously at all but hearing she was the vessel of Bane, made him take her seriously. He listened her to warning and ultimatum, seeing in her eyes just how serious she truly was. Bane being behind her made him unnerved, knowing he didn't need to say anything to get his point across. "I don't know how to get out of a demon contract, it's near damn impossible!" He told her, "but...BUT-" he started to say before she pipe in with more threats, his hands raising in a defensive manner. "If there's a way I will find it." He said. "I will find a way and do as you wish" he repeated.

John moved over and held Kay in his arms. “Fee? If you can hear me…tell me what to do? I don’t know what to do…”

Drake was leaning on the wall, his mind spinning. Something big had just happened in there. He was different for it. He was fighting to stay upright as he looked over at the others.

Serena smiled and patted his cheek. “Good…because of that demon even breathes on those k have blessed…I’m hunting you down and letting my watch dog eat you…and you don’t want to be in his stomach. You don’t die in his stomach…” she slowly stood up and bane growled. “My goddess we need to go…the bomb?” Serena turned to where the bomb was sitting and she cursed. “Papa get out. I’ll handle this thing…I mean it. You don’t leave you will die in here. And I will like you owing me…”

Chas let John pick Kay up but it pained him to see his mate in this state. Yet he also knew when he got this way it was best not to smother him in platitudes or being too close to him. He just had to do what he always did, let John go through these stages on his own and if John needed someone around him, he'd come to them at his own pace. Fee could hear John as she tried her hardest to keep Kay alive long enough to heal her but the injuries were severe and it hadn't been that long ago since she herself was weakened and only shortly ago managed to heal up her strength to a satisfactory level.

"I hear you, I'm trying to heal her body but it is difficult" Fee's voice said, making a telepathic connection to John. "your protection wrap is helping. But I fear Chas might be right in his assumption." she continued to telepathically tell him. She knew he wouldn't want to hear it but she had a habit of telling people things they didn't want to hear. She saw no point in hiding from the difficult issues.

Fia helped Drake over to the wall whilst she looked at his arms, it all now slowly kicking in that he even spoke to her and there was something wrong with him. "Shit Drake, is this timeline related? Crap crap crap....mum isn't meant to die in any format...if she dies then it could explain why you're feeling the effects...but what if it's not that" she began rambling her thoughts, wondering why she wasn't being as effected in the same way as Drake was. "We gotta figure this out" she said.

Midnite didn't want to cave into a woman's demands but Bane's growling made it perfectly clear that he had no choice in the matter. "Warning accepted" he simply said back before the bomb was brought up. He gave a look of disgust to Serena when she said she wanted him to owe her a debt for letting him leave before the bomb went off. "Fine..." He scrambled up onto his feet clumsily, adjusting his suit and swiftly exiting the building out of another exit he knew about and away from the others in Serena's group.

John cursed softly then said “what will happen if you both go thru this? I’d like to know what’s going on Fee…I’m sorry I failed you both so badly…”

Drake shook his head and said “it’s not your mum…it’s mine…I feel strange…like something is changing within…I don’t know what’s going on…”

Serena frowned as he left and said to Bane “that will make johns day…now this thing” she knelt down in front of the bomb and started looking it over. The timer had two minutes left and she said “Bane…get everyone away from the warehouse…Now” the wolf nodded and vanished as Serena started pushed boxes on top of the bomb to try and block it the best she could.

Bane appeared next to Chas in his human form, looking like he was sick. “Get to the taxi. Serena found the bomb but there isn’t time to disarm it. She’s trying to cover it but she wants you guys out of harms way”

Serena was putting layer on layer of her shadows over the bomb to try and keep the blast down, but now she was feeling Banes weakness and she said “hurry guys…”

Fee felt John's guilt through the bond that tied him to Kay and she felt it wasn't necessary. "Do not feel guilty for this John. It was Kay's actions and her actions alone that lead to this. She couldn't control the power and strength I was sharing with her to keep those thugs at bay. She was losing control, and killed a man. This you must know because if she remembers it it will emotionally destroy her." She first warned him before continuing, "she needs to be a secure area preferably so I allow for us both to be reborn so to speak. Just as the myths describe, we will go up in flame and create ash around us so she can die and through that fire she will heal and come back to you.butbwhstever you do, do not interfer with the process, as much as you may want to, trust me that she will be safe" she explained.

Fia looked down at his arms again to try and remember if she had seen the runes before and what they meant, then it dawned on her. Serena was going to do a self sacrifice to save them. Her fear of her assumption was made true when Bane appeared outside and told them all to get to Chas' cab. "Bane you can't keep her in there! If she stays in there she dies and Drake sizes to exit! That will catastrophic to the timeline!" Fia told him urgently. "Let me in there! I can get in and her out in time by getting her out via the roof!" She pleaded. She didn't want to lose anyone this day, especially Drake. He was the closest thing to a brother she had and she didn't want to live in a timeline without him.

Chas wanted to stop Fia from the suggestion, but it seemed she was used to him doing such a thing in her time as he instantly got a glare of determination and stubbornness he recognised all too well. "get in there quick kid, I'll get everyone to the cab, but ya better get back as well" he told her, pointing his finger at her. "Whaddya say Bane?" He asked him.

John cursed softly then nodded, tears in his eyes. “There’s the e vault at the house…it will be perfect for this…” he picked Kay into his arms and looked at the others.

Bane shook his head and said “she wouldn’t do that. She knows drakes life depends on her. She just doesn’t want anyone hurt if she can’t contain the blast all the way. We need to move back a safe…” then he stopped dead and looked at the building. He suddenly grabbed Chas and thru shadows over the others as the building suddenly exploded, flames going everywhere. The shadows wrapped around the team and protect them as Bane covered Chas with his own body. John curled around Kay and hand pulled Fia and Drake to him as well. Drake hung onto Fia and muttered “mom…”

Serena was in the flames, trying to shield herself next to the bomb. The problem was bad timing. The bomb hadn’t gone off yet. The flames from the fight had hit a gas line. She was trying to keep the bomb from going off as well but she was losing the fight.

Suddenly a hand rested on her shoulder and she turned to see a man standing there. She blinked, thinking the blast had already killed her. But the man smiled and said “it’s your turn, starlight…I’m sorry I couldn’t do more for you but…tell Kay her mother loved her more then anything in the world…and so did I for you” he kissed her forehead and then Serena felt a new power surge thru her from the kiss. Like a door fianlly being opened. The man vanished and Serena stood up, her eyes glowing brightly now as shaodws moved around d her and swallowed the bomb whole into nothingness. Then she looked at her hands where black designs were appearing and she muttered “dad…thank you…” the flames grew brighter but Serena looked at them and waved her hand. The flames changed and she was about to turn to leave but then pain hit her whole body like lightening then all she saw was black.

The warehouse flames suddenly turned silver and started to die down. The shaodws over the others moved and John looked at the building stunned. “What the…that felt like…but it couldn’t be…” then he heard a thud and Drake was on his side, looking like he had passed out suddenly.

Bane was still on Chas, shaking badly and looking like he was going to be sick. He grunted and said “she’s…done it…she’s released her true power…”

The warehouse was soon just a burned building but there wasn’t a sign of Serena coming out.

Fee trusted that John's idea of place for resurrection was suitable for the process, she also trusted that it would be fireproof or made fire proof easily enough. The last thing she would want was for John to lose his house to get Kay back. "I trust your judgement" she telepathically told him as Bane and Chas spoke with the teenagers. Kay's body was getting more and more of a dead weight, the longer they stayed where they were. Her heartbeat was faint already but it was just getting fainter. She was etching closer and closer to death.

Fia didn't like leaving Serena inside, knowing how much it was going to scaring Drake but she was trusting Bane when he said Serena wasn't going on some suicide mission. When the explosion happened she instantly cowered but let let John grab her and yank her into him, to which she gladly did the same to Drake. She held onto Drake tightly, out of comfort and fear for what was happening. She also clung to her dad and her mum's body, trying to remain calm but she could feel the stillness in Kay and it unnerved greatly. "she's going to be okay Drake..." She told him.

As the shadows eventually moved from off the group, Fia stood upright and looked over her shoulder seeing how the flames went silver and then began dying out. "This is when she unlocks her full power" she gasped, mesmerized by the flames of silver but Drake dropping like a dead weight onto the ground made her quickly snap back round to him and kneel down. "Drake!!" She exclaimed out of worry, placing a hand on him. "Come on Drake...wake up mate" she said, remaining with him the entire time.

Chas found himself cowering the whole time and when it all died down, he looked at Bane looking like he was going to be sick and at the burned building. "she's not coming out, should I go get her? You don't look too good Bane and Drake has passed out" he said to him, not sure how to go about this situation in the slightest. It had escalated so rapidly and he was still trying to wrap his head around everything.

Bane was trying to sit up and said “something…happened to her in there…I can’t…move Chas…”

John got up with Kay and said “Fia. Is Drake breathing?” He looked over at Chas and said “head in and find her. She might be hurt in there. I think we would know if it was worse then that”

Drake groaned softly but couldn’t snap out of it.

Serena was laying in the warehouse with a beam laying over her, her back up and her face in the ashes.

"just stay put okay? Stay with the others, we'll figure this out" Chas replied to Bane, finding it concerning that Bane couldn't move at all but took a wild guess it was because of something linked to Serena. He then looked at the others bad saw Drake out cold, but breathing and Fia taking the lead in trying to bring Drake round. "Yeah he's breathing" Fia replied to John, whilst Chas observed the scene in front of him and trying to figure out what to do. He then looked up at John when he got told to go after her, so with a firm nod, he got up to his feet and made a dash for the building.

Reaching the door, he cautiously opened it and went inside, following the easiest route back into the main room to the best of ability from the debris that was already laying down due to the fire. "SERENA!!" he called out then coughed from the smoke still floating in the air. "SERENA!" He called again, not seeing her initially, but then her body on the ground came into view, so he ran over and hoisted her up onto his back, swinging her arms over his shoulders and grabbing a firm secure hold of her under her knees round his waist. "I got you" he said, finding this whole situation so much like the time he absorbed the 47 souls from the club that went into fire he was in.

He carefully but hurriedly made his way out of the building, hoping the bomb wouldn't go off until after he got out, which luckily was the case. He carried her over to the gang and laid her down on the ground, checking her breathing to see if she needed CPR or not.

Bane was kneeling by Drake and Fia by now, John having ran to get the cab to bring back while he carried Kay with him. Bane looked up and sighed. “You found her…thank goodness…”

Serena was out cold but breathing weakly as they land her on the ground. Bane was looking around and said “something big happened in there…I feel like…I’m not even sure what to call it.”

Drake suddenly groaned, turning his head as the markings glowed on his arms then stopped, now looking like tattoos. Serena had matching ones on her arms as well.

Chas nodded, "I did, and she's breathing luckily but it is weak" he told him, not wanting to lie to Bane. "I'm just glad she's breathing at all or I'd have to do CPR on her" he added, running a hand through his hair with a sigh. "I guess all we can do is wait for these two to wake up" he guessed, seeing that Drake was still out but starting the process of gaining consciousness again, judging by the groaning he was doing. It was then he and Fia noticed the markings on both Drake's and Serena's arms began to stop glowing and turn into dark tattoo markings. "What the...?" Fia and Chas both questioned in unison.

"Where's John and Kay?" He then asked the awake group, "he went to grab the cab, but refused to leave mum here. Think he thinks if he lets her go she'll disappear or something." Fia explained, Chas giving her a nod in response rather than words. He kept an eye on everyone until John could return with his cab, every few seconds going for checking Serena's breathing and heart rate to checking Drake to see if he was any closer to coming round. "If John hurries up, I should have something in the car to make them wake up if they don't beforehand." He then told Bane and Fia.

He had to admit, seeing Fia managing to keep it together to see to Drake under all these pressures was impressive to him. He could see that Kay and John in the future clearly did a good job in raising her, even if they did possibly get help from others around them. He could only imagine how much Fia must be crumbling mentally but she wasn't showing it on the outside. It was commendable in his eyes.

Soon they saw headlights and John pulled up in the cab and jumped out. “Is everyone alright? I have Kay set in the back. We need to get back to the house so Fee can start the rebirth before it’s too late”

Bane was almost to his feet when he said “Then we better move…Serena may need a few minutes but let’s get Drake back to the waking world”

Seeing John back with the cab was of a relief to both Fia and Chas, and no doubt the others as well. Chas continued to be a crutch for Bane to finish getting to his feet whilst Fia concentrated on keeping an eye on Drake. Chas looked at John as he got and nodded, "got it" he replied to John before making sure Bane could stand on his own two feet then ran to the cab's trunk, opening it and pulling out a small first aid kit bag, bringing it over to Fia and Drake. Unzipping it he pulled out a tube like item, cracking it open with a twist and bending it slightly then looked at Fia. "This'll help, I've used this on your dad more than once when he's been knocked out from pub fights" he explained, then hovered and waved it under Drake's nose. "Sometimes medical versions of smelling salts is all you need" he said, still waving it under Drake's nose until the boy woke up.

Fia watched on as Chas helped her bring Drake back into the waking world, somehow not surprised that once upon a time her dad would behave been the type of bloke to get into pub brawls. "I got this Chas, help Bane get Serena into the cab" she told him, holding her hand out to take over, something Chas agreed to, handing it over and then going to Serena and Bane where he picked Serena up and carried her to the cab. He carefully put her in the back beside Kay's body, seeing the other woman in the state she was a haunting aight that he hoped he would be able to forget in time.

John moved to help Bane to the cab as Chas moved Serena, Bane saying “I can go into a shadow…but I’m worried going into Serena’s till she’s awake and stable”

Drake groaned then opened his eyes a blinked, a fuzzy image of Fia above him. “Sis? What’s…going on…where’s mom…”

Chas got Serena in the cab then waited for the others. He saw Drake stirring awake and he let out a sigh of relief, glad that the kid was finally coming round and being able to acknowledge Fia, even if he did find it interesting he called Fia 'sis'. It told him that they really were close in their time. He then looked over at John and Bane briefly to check on those two before glancing back at the girls in the back. He didn't like that neither were waking still and he was worried for how much longer Kay could hold on.

"Yeah it's me Drake, it's Fia" Fia replied to him, helping him sit up. "Your mum is fine, she's in the cab. Not awake but alive. She's going to be okay though, but we have to get back to dad's urgently, mum needs a safe place to go through the phoenix rebirth process and we're running outta time" she explained, not wanting to rush him but saw no other choice.

Drake nodded and tried to get up on his own. “You guys go ahead. I’ll use shadows to get back…” he looked at Bane who said “no need. I’ll use the Lads shadow so there’s room. Let’s get back for Kay’s sake”

Fia gave him a hand in standing up despite him trying to do it alone. She looked between him and Bane and after a few seconds of thinking over the option, she nodded. "okay...please don't waste time in getting back, I won't stop worrying about you otherwise" she told Drake. Making sure he was stable enough on his own two feet, she jogged to the cab and got in in the front, refusing to let her dad ride shotgun in this moment. She was also convinced she wouldn't keep her cool if she was in the back with her mother and Serena both out cold.

Chas watched as Fia took John's place in the front of the cab before John had even left Bane's side and smirked very briefly. "guess you're riding in the back this time John" he told him, "your daughter has called shotgun" he added, then got into the driver's side and put the keys in the ignition, waiting for John before starting the engine and heading back.

John looked at Drake who smiled weakly. “Go…” John frowned then moved to the cab and jumped in. Chas took off and soon the pair were alone. Drake looked at Bane who said “it’s done. She won’t turn now…”

Drake sighed and said “thank heavens for that…”

As Chas drive off, Fia found herself looking back at Bane and Drake until they were out of sight. She felt so worried for them both, but had faith that they'd find their way back to the mill house. When the two of them got out of her sight, she faced forward again, "they'll be alright kiddo" Chas told her without even looking over at her, he just knew exactly what she just be thinking. "I know...I just worry about Drake....that's all" she sighed.

Chad then looked in the rearview mirror to see the three in the back, "how are you holding up John? And how are the girls fairing?" He asked as he looked back at the road, taking the correct turning he needed to get off the main roads. Kay was just about holding on, her breathing so weak it didn't even look like she was breathing.

John was holding Kay in his arms and his free hand on Serena’s shoulder. “Kay’s holding barely…in supporting her the best I can…I’ve link onus for the time period. Serena is breathing but drained. I think she got hit in there, she’s got a nasty cut on her forehead…”
