[IC] I am the fire - Constantine RP

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay was actually starting to worry about John slightly, a feeling she hadn't felt for a long time before meeting John. Sure, when living in and out of homeless camps, anyone who was in there who was welcoming looked out for each other, but this was feeling different to her. She nodded at his words, but couldn't help but focus on how drained he was looking. "They'll be back soon no doubt" she said, hoping she would be correct. "What I am worried about is you. You don't look too hot John" she said, putting her own beer bottle down for a moment and sitting next to him, taking his hand as if it would do some good when in reality it may not do.

CHas shook his head when she apologised for losing her temper as he totally understood why she did, because he himself knew he would have done a lot if she didn't have such dominance over the situation. "Don't be sorry Serena, I would have been the same if there was no one else in that room with me, or it was just John" he explained to her before nodding at her next comment about getting out of here, making sure to stay close to her incase he ever had catch her for some reason. "We'll go now, I just gotta clear the runes on some of the walls as we leave so the cameras get their recording back" he explained to her.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John shook his head and said “it’s just the day…hitting harder then normal…I’m praying a feathery pain in my side doesn’t show up…normally I feel like this when he is about to show up. It’s to keep me from picking a fight with him…”

Serena nodded weakly and started to walk out, making sure to use her shadows to keep them hidden if anybody walked by them. She helped with the runes as they went. When they got outside she had to sit for a moment to catch her breath. “Okay…just need a sec then I can take us back to John and Kay…”

[FuriePhoenix]

At his remark about a feathery pain in his arse, Kay had to raise an eyebrow in curiosity wondering what on earth he possibly meant. "Huh? What are you on about? WHose a feathery pain in your arse?" she asked him, wondering who he was talking about. It seemed she really was learning more and more about people he knew, and it was seeming to her that she wasn't the only feathered winged one he knew, which truly did pique her intrigue. The fact John said 'he' in his last statement, told her at least he didn't mean her which she didn't get that impression anyway, but it did indeed confirm to her that she wasn't the only who could be winged he knew. She was about to say one more thing when the surroundings including her seemed to just pause and Manny did indeed show up, standing next to Kay and looking between John and Kay before landing his eyes upon John once more. "Well I never thought the rumours to be true, but it seems it is. YOu have bagged yourself a phoenix John!" he said in a tone that was somewhere between arrogant and impressed.

As they went, Chas stayed close to Serena to make sure he'd be able to catch her if she should fall. He told her how to the wiping of the rune and when the red light started flashing again on the disabled cameras, he knew they were back online. Once outside, he helped her sit on a wall. "Just take your time Serena, it's okay" he told her before giving John a text to say they were done, Serena was just catching her breath but they were okay and will be on their way back soon enough.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John glared and stood up, his eyes glowing darkly. “Don’t you dare call her that. She’s a breathing person, Manny. She’s under my protection and you and anyone else wants to mess with her, you deal with me. Am I understood?” He felt the weakness hit him but he paused it back, not letting himself be overpowered to make sure Kay is safe.

Serena lowered her head and then nodded and got up again. She clapped her hands together and muttered the spell again. The shadows wrapped around them and they vanished. They reappeared outside the mill house and Serena swayed them her legs buckled, falling backward.

[FuriePhoenix]

"why so defensive John? You can't dismiss what she is. I have to agree she's safest here, I just didn't believe it at first. The downworld is getting wind of her existence, now that demons can't keep their mouths shut, so she needs whatever protection you can give her. She is rare indeed." he replied then decided to take a look at Kay more, feeling her aura. "she's the direct descendant of Fira. Her aura and soul is almost identical." he said in amost surprise, circling her now. "How much do you know of their kind and the bloodline John?" he asked.

Outside the millhouse, Chas quickly grabbed a hold of Serena a before she could hit the floor so she was kept safe. He helped her to a nearby wall and sat her down on it, deciding that giving her some fresh air and a moment to rest was a much better idea. "take it easy Serena. Just gather yourself out here for a moment before we go inside" he said, sitting beside her. He pulled out a bottle of watter from the bag he had and opened it before handing it to her. "here, sip this to help gather yourself" he suggested softly.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John rubbed his face and said “her mother passed years ago…she’s been on the run for a while…I’ve read a few things but that’s all…why are you here Manny? I’m already protecting her so what more can you be asking me? Unless this is about Serena?” He lowered his head, his body shaking.

Serena nodded, taking the bottle carefully and drinking it. “It’s okay…just tapped…just need to rest a few…hopefully not need any more shadow…work before I can recovered…I’m really dizzy…” she held her head, the word spinning on her.

[FuriePhoenix]

Manny listened but his face gave nothing away of what he was thinking inside. "she is a by product of the one thing that came from Paradise John. Do you really think its just the downworld that would be after her? Once heaven learns of this, they'll be after her as well. It is written also that she is to be linked to the hellblazer, who does that remind you of?"he started replying," and ah yes, Serena, the protector and equal to your little flame bird here. I sense she's outside with your friend." he added. "she cursed someone today, out of losing control of herself and her abilities. She's a liability if she keeps losing control. Keep her under control John" he said, before vanishing and making Kay came back into movement. Kay blinked a couple of times wondering what just happened but shrugged it off and took another swig of her beer bottle.

"understandable. John can tap out if he uses something too much or new. We don't have to rush back inside either way, just take your time." Chas replied, enjoying the fresh air and the smell of the water stream beside the mill house. "The other two will be fine inside so we don't need to worry about much right now." he added.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John glared and said before the angel left “she wouldn’t have to if heaven for once would protect those they need...no, she gets to chose who she works with...and Serena is not one to be needing control.” When he vanished John leaned against the desk, feeling the angels aura all over him. It always made him feel off and drained.

Serena nodded and lowered her head into her hands. “That was dumb of me...losing control like that...death was just too easy for him...he deserved true justice for what he did...” she was shaking, her nose still bleeding.

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay saw how fed up and drained John looked and wondered if it had anything to do this being he was speaking off before it felt like she had somehow lost a little bit of time. "you okay?" she asked him, putting her bottle down and walking behind him, hesitantly at first but eventually placed her hands on his shoulders and tried to help but massaging the stress he was feeling away. She hoped he wouldn't brush her off but if he did she would accept the action, but she still hoped he wouldn't. She wanted to help in whatever way she could, even if she didn't know fully what way that was outside of massaging his shoulders.

Chas rubbed her back comfortingly and shook his head. "if you didn't I would have. I wanted to punch that guy right into the ground when he was talking" he told her. "the father in me just got so angry that he spoke of kids and Kay like that. You're right, death was too easy a punishment for him. Hopefully now he'll think twice before touching another minor" he explained. With his free hand he rummaged in the bag to find another rag or tissue for her which he eventually found and pressed against her nose. "keep your head forward and keep the pressure on" he instructed.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John glanced back and said “that feathery pain in the neck showed up...he freezes time so he won’t be seen...he had a few words for me...it’s okay for now. I can handle anything he dishes out...” he rubbed his face and sat back down, letting her rub his shoulder and it was helping a little.

Serena nodded and changed the tissue. “He won’t be able to hurt anyone ever again. My curse will keep him from doing anything...ever again...” she looked up and looked into the house. “Chas...something powerful just left the house...”

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay listened and nodded at his answer, having put an educated guess that was the case but she didn't want to just assume and say something wrong so the tactic she used was her best option at the time. She was glad that he wasn't shrugging her off of him so she continued to massage his shoulders to attempt to rid of him the knots in his muscles to try and relax him. "Well he's gone now, so drink your beer and try and relax." she told him, "It feels like you've never relaxed your body in your entire life John" she teased. "Anything else we have to do can wait for a little while. You need to give yourself a break just for a few moments, trust me on that" She added, completely talking from experience. She wanted to tell him about what Fee told her about how they were destined to have met, but she knew it could wait so she kept quiet about that.

Chas kept watch over Serena and was impressed that Serena could have done such a curse, even if it did mean she had to lose some of her self control to do it. The fact it was possibly dark magic didn't phase him as John specialised in such magic, so it was nothing new to him in that regard. "Well he deserved it" he said before looking toward the house at her next remark about sensing something powerful as she put it, leaving the house. "If I had to guess, it'd be Manny. He likes to pop in and annoy John whenever he can, thinks he's being useful and helpful but is actually being far from it. Angels aren't all what one would think they are." He explained to her, hoping that it would stop her worrying about it possibly being something negative.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John sighed then nodded, shutting the laptop and leaning back. “Your right…I’m okay…he just stresses me out. Reminds me of all the mistakes I’ve ever made in my life…all those I hurt…” he lowered his head, his hands shaking.

Serena went white when he said Angel. She tried to get up and muttered “Angel? An Angel? Crap…do you think his gone? I can’t let them see me…” she stumbled a few steps, looking panicked

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay was glad that he listened to her and actually did what she told him to do. She took him as the type to ignore what was being told to him and do his own thing anyway, as proven the last couple of nights, so seeing him actually do as he was told was of some great relief to her. She heard what he had to say, and didn't like what he was saying, to her it sounded like this Manny was an utter douchebag, even if he was an Angel. "well he sounds like an utter asshole if you ask me" she told him, before walking round to the front of him and sideways, sat on his lap and lifted his head to look at her. "But listen to me, whatever was done in your past is simply that... your past. Don't listen to him." she told him.

Chas stood up instantly when she did and quickly walked over holding his arms out so he could catch her if she should fall over. "Probably yeah, you said yourself you felt something powerful leave the house. Don't worry, John and I as well as Kay won't let anyone or anything get to you. I promise. If anything I'd have thought he'd be around to either annoy John or has got wind of Kay, rather than you" he explained, trying to be reassuring.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John smirked at her and said “your right…he warned about Serena…said she can’t keep losing her control whatever that means…he said she’s your equal. I’m not sure what he meant by that…” he looked around and then said “hold up, I think I hear them outside?”

Serena looked at Chas totally in a panic. “I’ve faced an Angel before…I had been running for six months and I was handling a demon. I had finished it off and the Angel showed trying to make me go with him…I blasted him and ran…I’ve never faced anything that could handle my shadows without a problem….” She was shaking, pale as paper

[FuriePhoenix]

Hearing that he warned about Serena and that she can't keep losing control, Kay found herself wondering about what exactly happened at that youth asylum between her old doctor and Chas and Serena. She couldn't imagine any other reason for an angel to say such words to John as they both knew Serena hadn't lost her control before so it had to be only when Serena and Chas were away from them to cause such a remark. She looked upwards toward the door as he said about possibly hearing them come back and sighed. "probably" she said. 'thanks for the timing guys...' she sarcastically thought to herself, not daring to say it out loud. "as for the other thing? Maybe he meant equals in the way that we discovered we're two sides to something? I'm the light, she's the dark? I dunno. Only thing I can think of at the moment. I say for now, unless they ask if you had any visitors, we keep quiet about this for now" she suggested, looking back at him.

Chas listened to Serena explain about her last encounter with an Angel and kept rubbing her back in a slow methodical motion, hoping it'll subconsciously start breathing slowly so she doesn't go into a full blown panic attack. "Manny is complicated but no threat. You don't need to worry about him. Like I said, you got three of us to keep you safe from anyone or anything that wants you and Kay. Don't worry about Manny for now. Focus on recooperating after what we just did." he told her as he knew panicking about Manny would do her no good and he had a feeling Manny would be gone anyway, as he never hung around long as John usually pissed him off too juvh to stick around." come on, let's get inside and get you something like a hot chocolate. You're pale as paper and you need to rest and relax. I'm also curious what those two have been up to and kinda hoping we're gonna be interrupting something, just to annoy them both" he smirked, hoping some kind of change of subject would help her out.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John nodded and said “good call…we can wait from them to decide to come in. I’m feeling Serena and she’s spooked about something. Might have to let her come in. Chas has her…” he lowered his head again and rubbed his neck. “I hate this…he makes my whole body feel like I used all my magic…”

Serena looked at him and smiled weakly. “That sounds like a good idea…just need to calm down again…” she took a few steps then suddenly her whole body froze. She blinked as the world went sidewise and then said “Chas…I can’t…” she swayed again, the panic fading taking the energy burst she had for a brief moment.

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay nodded before frowning slightly when he lowered his head and said he felt a bit drained, unable to stop herself from hugging him and pulling his head onto her shoulder and placed her hand on the back of his head, in an attempt to comfort him as she was still on his lap. "just relax John, I may not know how this all works like you do, but I'm sure it'll pass soon enough" she said to him. She just wanted to help and knew for this kind of thing, she couldn't and she disliked that greatly.

Chas went to begin walking back to the front door with her when she seemed to away making him quickly get to her side. "what's happening? You can't what?" he asked, keeping a hold of her and getting her to the front door of the mill house, where he opened it to try and get her inside.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John sighed but when she hugged him he opened his eyes as he felt a warmth wash over him. It was like a blanket that was making him feel better. He moved back a little and asked “Kay? Do you know your doing that?”

Serena shook her head and leaned against him as they got to the door. “I really over did it...it’s hitting now...I think I pushed my limit too far...” the door opened and she fell forward onto her knees, thanks to Chas it wasn’t on her face.

[FuriePhoenix]

When she hugged him, she felt something between them but she didn't pay too much attention to it, not realising it could be anything worth noting. When he asked her if she knew she was doing something, she just assumed it was the hug he was talking about, and not anything else. "Do I know I'm giving you a hug? Yeah" she replied, looking at him as he pulled back a little. "Was that wrong of me to do?" she asked baffled. She truly was oblivious to what had happened during the hug and how it made him feel, not knowing that it could have remotely been something to do with the fact they were destined to be connected in some way.

Chas grabbed ahold of her when she fell to her knees, stopping her from falling flat on her face when he opened the door. "I think you did, you're right. I think once inside and downstairs, you should get some kip and sleep a bit to try and recoop and regain your energy. I can give John and Kay all the information on what went down properly" he told her, helping her up onto her feet. "Do you think you can walk downstairs or do you want carrying?" he asked her.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John smirked and said “I know the hug... it your healing me, Kay. Your hug is warming my magic core and it’s recovering...” then he heard the door and he frowned. “Serena. She’s not okay. Come on Kay” he picked her up and carried her out of the office and saw the pair by the door. “Mate you guys okay?”

Serena shook her head and said weakly “you shouldn’t be carrying...a woman...what would...would...” she fell back against him, a shadow jumped up and keeping her from falling over. She was breathing hard, her skin cold.
