[IC] I am the fire - Constantine RP

[FuriePhoenix]

If it wasn't for the fact Kay started shouting at the top of her lungs for help, Chas would have said something along the lines 'why? Because she's snarky, a redhead and isn't trying to kill you ever five minutes?' but he didn't get the chance to due to the shouting. When they reached the bathroom he almost skidded right passed the doorway, making him have to grab the door frame to stop himself. He wasted no time getting inside before shielding his eyes as John banished what was inside, helping him pull Serena out of the bath. He kept check of her pulse as John started CPR, before glancing over at Kay, seemingly not moving. As John asked Kay if she was alright, there was no reply from the redhead. "I got Serena, you check Kay over" Chas said to John, gesturing for him to move to one side so he could take over with the CPR.

Fee tried to wake Kay from inside her mind but it was no good. Kay just couldn't wake up. Fee didn't want to leave her body again as she was certain she could kill Kay if she did, which meant she had no way of contacting John and Chas for help. She didn't know what to do as she kept trying to make Kay wake up, but nothing she tried worked, so she was left to hoping that John or Chas would be able to wake her. What she didn't realise was that when Kay went crashing into the bathroom mirror, a shard went into her back near her shoulder blade, which was right where her wing portal/tattoo was. If her wings were out (luckily not the case) it would have penetrated right through a wing bone.

John nodded and got up saying “turn her on her side, there must be water in her lungs” he landed by Kay and looked at her wounds. Then he saw a shadow around her neck. He blinked then moved her hair so the shadow to could show him the problem. He saw the glass shard and said “hood on love...” he grabbed a towel and then pulled the shard out, pressing the towel to the wound. “Chas? How are we looking?”

Once Chas had her on her side Serena coughed up a lot of water, coughing hard. She groaned and tried to sit up. “Burn...the bag...still...haunted...” John moved Kay into his arms, holding the towel to the wound. “Kay? Kay love come on...”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas instinctively did what John was saying as he was saying it, glad that it worked and Serena did indeed cough up water. When she was done coughing it up, Chas helped her up so she could keep hold of the towel round herself, whilst John went to Kay, pulling out themirfor shard. "we will, let's get you both sorted first" Chas replied to Serena, helping her out of the bathroom, so John could fully focus on Kay's unconscious body. "how she doing John?" he asked, talking about Kay. Kay was still out cold, but there were signs of her eyes flickering under her eyelids. Blood seeped into the towel from her back, whilst the blood from the back of her head which was the cause of her being knocked out, matted into her hair and stained John's shirt.

"John get her somewhere safe and awake, she's gonna need stitching up unless Fee can heal her up. I'll continue helping Serena and burn the bag outside in a bin" he told him. He figured if they could deal with both problems at the same time it'll make John's home a lot safer a lot quicker for everyone involved.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John nodded and said “I got Kay, just help Serena. Make sure she wasn’t down for too long...” he moved the towel and said “I can’t wait for Fee...” he picked her up and out of the room to the work room, laying her on the couch in there and finding the first aid kit Chas had gotten a while ago. He moved her so he could sew up the wounds, being careful as he said “Come on Kay...wake up so I know I’m doing this right...”

Serena held the towel as she leaned against Chas, breathing hard. “I was just washing my hair out when I couldn’t pull myself up...” she coughed again, her whole body shaking.

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas nodded and helped Serena to the room she had previously slept in so she could get dried off and dressed once he was happy she was okay. He kept a protective hold on her the entire time, deciding that he wouldn't leave her alone to get dressed until she was okay to be on her own. He was going to leave it entirely up to her. "good job we found you. Well, Kay found you and called us. She tried to help but whatever was there threw her into the bathroom cabinet mirror. But don't worry about her, John has her and will make sure she's okay. Main thing is John banished whatever it was and I won't leave you unless you tell me to fuck off" he told her, with a slight smile.

Eventually Kay started to mumble as she began to stir, groaning and wanting to instinctively go to touch her head but saw John over her, seeing the blood on his shirt she looked at him wide eyed. "Serena!" she gasped, not knowing that they managed to help her and save her. She then groaned more and winced feeling pain in her shoulder blade and back of her head.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena looked at him and nodded slowly. “Thank you Chas...you guys saved me again...I should have burned that bag as soon as we got back...” she got up and grabbed her clothes, not really minding him seeing her. She was a doctor as it was. She was soon dressed and rubbed her arms. “Okay...let’s go burn that bag so we stop getting ambushed...”

John stopped her and said “easy love, it’s alright. It’s your blood. I just finished stitching you up...you alright? Serena is with Chas now and she is fine so don’t worry...”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas was, unlike John at times, more considerate of other people and didn't make a habit of being around when people were naked, especially aqs he was married and had a child. He kept his sight well and truly away from Serena as she decided to get dressed before looking back when it was clearly safe as she mentioned about going to burn the bag. "Right, I said to John we'll do it outside in one of the big bins" he explained to her, standing up and exiting the room. "I can nick John's matches from the kitchen as we go outside, if you can grab Kay's bag from where you left it?" he told her. He lead the way through the hallway, grabbed the matches from the kitchen and walked outside when they were both ready to where there was a barrel for a bin.

Kay let him stop her and laid back once more. "I will be, and I'm glad she's okay" she replied to him, looking up at the ceiling. She had a banging headache and wanted to just do absolutely nothing. "Don't suppose you have any painkillers still? My head is absolutely killing me and feel a bit light headed" she told him. "As cliche and cheesy as this sounds, please don't leave me alone?" she requested.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena waved her hand to have one of her shadows rush to the back and bring it back, putting it in her hands and she headed outside. She dropped the bag in the bin and stepped back next to Chas, looking pale. She nodded and said “all set...” when Chas set the bin ablaze she rubbed her temples and said “it was relaxing till the end...now I’m more tense then before...if I could drink I would right now...”

John smiled and got up and went to the first aid kit, grabbing a bottle and brought it back over. “Take three, that should dull it enough to keep. Your mark seems to help control your powers, we will need to find a way to protect it for the future. Does anything else hurt? That was lucky you heard her...what did you hear anyway?” He was rubbing her shoulder absentmindedly, his attention on her fully

[FuriePhoenix]

The moment the shadows dropped the empty but hexed bag into the bin, Chas lit a match and tossed it inside, glad that there was other rubbish in there to catch the flame and set the bag alight without any other liquid being needed. He decided to stay outside to make sure that he could see when the bags as completely destroyed, not wanting to take any chances this time round. He smirked at Serena's comment, nodding, "I guess just ordering a crap load of pizza for you and the other two will just have to do" he replied. "or anything else you want." he added, realising he didn't even know if she liked pizza, it was just the first thing that came to mind.

Kay let him go grab the painkillers for her headache, taking them from him when he got back, listening to what he was saying. Opening the bottle, she took three pills out and swallowed them, grimacing as they went down with no water. Putting the lid back on, she placed the bottle down beside her on the couch as she continued to listen to him talk and calm to the feel of him rubbing her shoulder. "thanks and I don't know really. Fee just felt something was off with Serena, so I went to go look and that's when I heard the thumping on the side of the bath as I got closer to the bathroom and rushed in to try and help. As for anything else hurting, not too much no. I can deal with the grazes from landing on the broken mirror" she replied to him.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena shook her head and muttered “pizza is fine...you don’t need to worry though. I can handle it...you should get back to your wife and child...be with them...it will mean a lot to your daughter then you know...” she was shaking as she turned them her legs buckled and she fell, landing on her knees. She was shaking as the shock hit her full on now.

John nodded and said “I got all the wounds I saw treated and cleaned...just be careful the next few hours and I think you’ll be alright...” he paused then moved his hand and rested it against her cheek. “Not goin lie...you had me pretty worried for a moment there...”

[FuriePhoenix]

Listening to what Serena was saying Chas couldn't help but smile. "yeah, I know, I'll go when I know you're all alright" he told her, not wanting to say this as pretty standard for him. As she turned to go back inside and wobbled, dropping to her knees, he quickly squatted down by her. "you're not alright. You're not in shock" he told her, slinging one her arms round him as he helped her onto her feet and back inside, taking her over to the reclining chair. "here, sit here and I'll get you something to drink to help with the shock" he explained, knowing it'd be a cup of tea but knew it would help.

Before Chas and Serena got back inside, Kay listened to John and smiled ever so slightly, thankful that he helped her and managed to treat her wounds. To her they must have been bad if they were around long enough to be treated as she didn't usually get injuries for long. When he put his hand on her cheek, she was taken aback for the briefest of seconds, but looked at him when he admitted she had him worried. "I'm sorry I worried you. I just wanted to do the right thing" she replied, subconsciously tilting her head into his hand. Then Chas and Serena came in and zapped her right out of her moment with John. "she okay?" she asked Chas, "yeah, she's in shock but a cup of tea will fix that" Chas replied.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena nodded and let him help her up, her legs shaking as they headed back inside. When she sat down she leaned forward and held her head. “Sorry...it kinda just hit out of no where...but that’s how shock works I guess...” she rubbed her face as he came back with the tea and smirked. “Seems like John is rubbing off on you...are the others alright?” She took the cup, forcing her hands to stop shaking.

John moved a little so she could see Chas, stunned now by his own actions. Then he said “well now that the seal has been burned I think we will be alright now. I’ll double check the seals later to be sure...this one won’t right for Serena...very odd...”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas went off and made a round of tea for everyone, putting two mugs down for Kay and John and handed Serena hers. He smirked when she said what she did because she couldn't have gotten it anymore wrong. "more my antics rub off on John sometimes. Yeah they're fine. Seems John has it all under control with Kay." he replied to her, before leaning in and whispering "think one or the other or both have crushes on the other" he then smirked. He then found himself sitting on the edge of the coffee table, handing over Kay and John's mugs one at a time. "here, think you both could do with this" he commented to them both.

"I'm glad the bag is gone now. Its a lot to accept but I don't want my belongings to be the cause of more problems for us all" she replied to John, as she took the mug from Chas. For some reason there was a little part of her that was annoyed that Chas and Serena came back as quick as they did as she enjoyed being alone with John. She was curious to why they were being the way they were with each other and wanted to know why, but felt she couldn't with the others aroung, so she made a mental note for later to herself to figure it out. "John you can order from our usual pizza place if you want u want on my card tonight. Think the girls deserve it, I think we all do" he commented.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John nodded and got up, pulling out his phone. “Pizza sounds perfect, then we can figure out what on earth is going on...” he dialed his phone and walked away to order. Serena walked over carefully and said “sorry Kay...you got hurt because of me...” she leaned against the wall, holding her mug. John came back and said “two pizzas on the way...there was a deal. So what have we learn so for, my super friends”

Serena rubbed her eyes as she drank the tea in hand. “Well, crazy demons are after Kay and I for some nut case called the first...whatever that means...”

[FuriePhoenix]

As John went to order the pizza, Kay kept hold of her mug, enjoying he comfort from the warmth of the tea. "don't be sorry Serena. I'll be okay" she tried to reassure the other woman. "I'll live, it's my thing apparently" she added, trying to make a joke of some sort about her supposed immortality if it was even a thing. She looked up when John re entered the room after making the take out order and nodded. She scooted across the couch a little bit to make room for John, feeling bad that she was taking up the whole couch. Chas was thinking on the words of what Serena just said and the demon earlier, finding he felt like he knew or at least those words flbefore but couldn't figure out why.

He got up and went over to the pile of books by the fireplace, grabbing one and flicking through it before stopping on one page. "bloody Hells!" he exclaimed. "I know what that demon meant by The First. He means the bloody first demon knight of Hell. As in The First with a capital F. He's the next big wig of Hell after Lucifer himself. If he wants Kay then we're gonna be utterly screwed if we're not careful. He's like Lucifer's right wing man so incredibly powerful at the best or worst of times, but if he gets his hands on Kay and her phoenix essence? He'd be unstoppable" he explained, half reading out loud what he was seeing in the book and half explaining his theory. Kay went wide eyed at what Chas was saying, instinctively curling up on the couch.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John sat down by Kay and cursed loudly as Chas finished. "Its worse then that. He won't be the only ones after her...heaven and hell will be on her tail to tip the scales...this is not good" He looked at Kay and added softly "It won't happen, love...I swear I won't let anyone get that far...but this means a few other things"

Serena nodded and said standing up "Means we need to help you train your skills. In case your alone you need to be able to fight them off. And if we get to the point, show all the forces out there your not one to mess with. It worked in the past, we can make it work now" She rubbed her neck and started to pace. John looked at Chas and gave him a question look. Then he said "And we need to figure out how Serena works into this...normally the vessels of gods aren't messed with...but someone is coming after you and killed your father as well. We need to figure out why"

Serena looked at him and said "Well...there is one thing I didn't explain. My father didn't die for sure...he vanished. But when I got his powers I figured he must have died right?" John groaned and said "Not exactly...it could be a number of things"

[FuriePhoenix]

Just as she thought it couldn't get any worse, John went and said about how it will make Heaven wanting to come after her to tip the scales into their favour and just to stop Hell having her. After she thought it was bad that demons were after her for no apparent reason, she now finds out they're all after her because a big boss of Hell whose close Lucifer wants her for who knows what truly for, and that will make Heaven wanting her and anything else in this magical downworld. She looked at john when he turned to face her and tell her they won't let that happen, making her slowly nod in trust of him. She sighed and listened to Serena as she then spoke up with one thing this new information now meant as she found herself scooching closer to John without really realising it. It was like subconsciously she needed the comfort from him, that his touch gave her earlier on, or something unseen between them was dragging her ever closer to him without her really knowing it.

She also found it curious that Serena ended her sentence with 'it worked in the past, it can work again' which made her see once again she really was the only in the room that knew the least about any of this world. She continued to listen as they all spoke, also wondering how Serena comes into all of this, wondering if it was Fate that made her come into her life or if it was just a sheer coincidence, which she rarely believed in with big things like this. Chas also listened, putting the book down down still open on the page about The First incase any of the others wanted to read for themselves. "then it sounds like we got a lot fo research to be done between us and when that pizza arrives I'd say there's no time like the present to start reading up on everything we can. Then start training with Kay tomorrow when we're all a lot fresher and such." Chas suggested.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John nodded and said "Sounds like a plan. Lets get to work my friends..." He got up and went to pick up books to bring them over to the table. He tossed a book to Chas and was about to toss one to Serena but she wasn't looking at him. John frowned and said "Serena? You alright?" Serena blinked and looked up. "Pardon? Sorry..."

John looked at Chas and "Has she been alright since we pulled her out of the tub?"

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay watched as John got up and grabbed a load of books, bringing them over and putting them on the table, whilst also tossing one to Chas who grabbed it out of the air easily enough. He too noticed how distant Serena was becoming, as did Kay. "She's got a bit fo shock kicking in, just give her time John" he replied, as he saw Kay grab a book off the coffee table out the corner of her eye. She didn't really pay attention to which book she grabbed, just hoped that she would find some answers of some sort for either her or Serena inside it. Opening the book, she saw it was mostly about the history of the war between heaven and hell's warriors which instantly intrigued her, making her start reading.

It would have been another fifteen minutes to half hour when there would be a knock on John's front door of the delivery boy arriving with their pizza order. The knock on the door drew Kay out of her reading, whilst also making her realise that she was indeed hungry once more. "think the pizza is here" she commented whilst looking back down into the book, continuing her reading. Inside she found out about how there were certain things said to always keep Heaven and Hell always at war with each other. That despite Lucifer being cast out and made ruler of Hell, his army of demons made from him crave that power to overrule Earth and heaven. At first she didn't think anything she was reading was of any significance, but then one sentence came up which made her sit upright. 'and with the power of Eve and the immortal flame, Hell will gain the greatest power to bring The forever Darkness onto all worlds. Whoever holds such power has the might to overthrow even Lucifer himself. With the immortal flame or the bird itself, the demons will have the most powerful weapon'. She continued to read on, 'it is said in some religions that the first ever Phoenix came to the mortal realm and caught the love of Apollo the sun god himself, making others jealous who tried to kill the bird known as Fira, only to find it became reborn from it's own ashes, returning to Paradise'. Reading that paragraph made Kay almost drop the book in shock.

"what is it Kay?" Chas asked, seeing her reaction to whatever she read. "it...it just mentioned my mother's name in this book, but that can't be possible....can it?" she replied, seeing there was more to the book, but she couldn't bring herself to continue reading it just yet.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena picked up a book after a bit and went to read in another room. She read till the door knock came and she got up and went to get the pizza. She opened the door and said "Thanks, how much do we owe for the pizza?" She was shaking as she went to her wallet in her pockets, fighting to get her hands to work.

John listened to her and it clicked. "No it makes sense...it explains a lot..." He got up and started to pace as he thought thru it all. "So that explains what is going on...but not why this is all happening now...and we need to figure out how the goddess Nyx plays into all of this..."
