Chas, Fia and Josh all wondered what John was about to do or get but when he came back holding a sheathed knife, Chas had a feeling he understood well enough. He took the knife from John and looked him in the eye as he gave his word. "Got it" he replied, "and John? I'll keep the kids safe" he spoke, knowing what a weak spot kids were to his best friend. It didn't matter if they barely knew the two teenagers, they still deserved to be kept safe in his eyes. "And you keep Kay safe" he added whilst Serena was speaking to Drake. He could sense the tension between Drake and Fia and he seriously began to get curious what had gone down between them both. With everything spoken, put away and prepared, Fia saw that they were indeed ready to go. So she focused on the task at hand, made sure Serena had some kind of contact with her then opened the portal to LA. "Okay, just walk through but stay close if it's your first time, we'll see each other on the other side" she explained, letting Chas go first, then Josh. "I gotta go last or it'll close behind me" she quickly added, more for Serena's benefit than Drake's. Kay watched on as they all one by one entered the portal. It was stunning to watch, to see what her future daughter was capable of, no...THEIR future daughter. There was no mistaking future John had clearly trained her well in the art of magic. Without even realising it, she found herself stepping closer to John and grabbing his arm.

[b][u]LA, AN ALLEYWAY OPPOSITE LUX BAR[/u][/b] Chas was the first through, closely followed by Josh. Looking around he knew exactly where they were and that they were indeed in the right place. "we made it, now to wait for the others to make it through" he remarked to Josh who sighed and tried to gather himself after coming to terms with what he just did. "I can't believe I just walked through a portal" Josh commented, looking around at the bustling life on the streets ahead of them.
