[IC] I am the fire - Constantine RP

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia, Josh and Kay all listened to Bane speak. It felt like a valid theory to them all, as well as making Fia feel a bit more justified in suggesting that her and Drake go back to this time and try and set the course on a different path. When Serena started mumbling as she was coming round, they all looked toward her, hearing what she was saying. This made Josh kneel down and take Serena's hand, "Kay is safe, you're both safe" he kept saying, hoping that taking her hand and speaking to her will help Serena come round more and fully wake.

Kay just kept watching over everything hoping that Serena will wake soon, as she wanted to put her mind at ease that she was safe and alive. She could have only imagined how it must have been for Serena seeing her falling through the roof.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena groaned weakly and opened her eyes, looking around. “What…Kay…she fell…I have to get her out…” John moved over and said “easy love, everyone is alright. Your a little behind…”

Serena blinked and saw Josh and said “oh no…I promised I would be okay…”

[FuriePhoenix]

When Serena woke up still thinking Kay was in the building, Kay instantly walked over, albeit carefully whilst her body still was regaining it's full strength. "I'm okay Serena, they got me out" she said, deciding maybe making herself seen by Serena was the best course of action. Josh let Kay and John both reassure Serena that she was okay before looking back at her and smiling softly, "you're back alive...that's the main thing" he replied to her.

Fia then stepped up after they all had their moments, "we made it out thanks to you Serena, dad got mum back just in time and it seems you unlocked your full powers or something which also affected Drake's I think" she explained.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena blinked, still out of it then the memory hit her. “Father…I saw him. I felt him there in the building before the bomb was about to blow…” she held her head as John said “seems there was more your background then we thought…something to look into…”

Drake was looking down, holding his head as he was trying to hide the pain he truly was in. He was hiding the bigger part of the fight. He didn’t want to worry them. He held his side, praying that Fia didn’t notice just how deep the wound had gone.

Bane was watching Drake, worry in his eyes. Trish moved to Chas and pulled his sleeve. “Drake isn’t okay…I sense something is wrong…his aura isn’t right.”

[FuriePhoenix]

Josh didn't know how to take her words about her father, just assuming it was a scenario similar to when people say they feel or see their loved ones if they're in danger, acting as a guardian angel of sorts. However it seemed John thought differently judging by his reply to what she said. He was so focused on Serena that he didn't even notice that Trish was going to Chas and tugging on his arm, or noticing Drake and how badly he was feeling.

Fia looked over when she heard Trish talking with Chas, telling him something is was wrong with Drake, which made her turn her attention to Drake and saw for herself how peaky and pale he was looking and hurt. "Drake!" She said in worry, going over to him and making him let her see her injury. "Damn it Drake, why didn't you tell us you had this injury too?" She asked him. "I'm healing you and I don't care what you say in protest" she told him, deciding that although she could use some of her phoenix healing ability, she was a lot less capable of using that on someone else, but using normal healing magic was something she was capable of using.

She moved his hands out of the way and placed her own over the wound, focusing her eyes on where the wound was, she muttered an incantation that pulled the power of her own healing rune tattoo and carried its power over to Drake, without making him with the rune permanently.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John looked at josh and said “it seems that her father wasn’t just a vessel…he might have been the real thing. A real god. Which means…crap. This would explain a few things”

Drake ripped her hands from his side, his eyes flashing silver as he growled “leave it be. For once just leave it alone” he flinched and lowered his head, shaking worse. John looked over and saw him and froze. “Fia…listen to him. His more hurt then you can heal…” he got up and moved to Drake, making the boy look at him.

“The demon hit you didn’t he? He was digging for Bane?” Drake nodded and muttered “he was trying to rip him from my core…I moved bane In time but…he hit me…” John frowned and looked at Kay then Serena who was trying to sit up. “Kay…don’t let anyone try and heal him. Not like this…this is more then any of us can fix…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Josh looked at John as he spoke but it was like the words were way out of his comprehension. He understood the words but it was so out there that his mind just felt like it was imploding on itself. "I'm glad it's explaining a few things for you" he said back, when Drake's outburst also made him look over to the teenagers in the room.

Drake ripping her hand away from him harshly and practically growling at her made Fia step back shocked and hurt. It was so out of character for him and she just wanted to help in some way. "I..." She stammered when John spoke up telling her to listen to Drake. Yet it was him saying he's more hurt than she could heal that felt like such a criticism to her abilities, even though she knew deep down that her father didn't mean it like that.

She stepped to one side to let John check on Drake and get the full truth out of him finally. Hearing what the demon did to him, she gritted her teeth, blaming herself for leaving Drake and Bane alone at the building. She was convinced the demon had gone back to Hell, never did she think it would come back for them. "I never should have left them alone" she thought to herself, but in that moment she put her mother over someone she considered her younger brother.

"You got it" Kay replied when John gave her the request he did. She could see the helplessness and hurt in Fia's body language and eyes but didn't want to smother her with what would no doubt he considered as empty platitudes. "Fia why don't you go and get Serena some water or something?" Kay suggested instead, thinking maybe Fia needed a reason to step away from the group. Fia nodded and wasted no time in doing that exact suggestion.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena looked at John as he was checking Drake over. “What can we do for him? Won’t fia or Kay healing be the best action?” John shook his head as he glanced over.

“Normally, yes. But this…that demon damaged Drakes soul core. Magic healing it is much harder and with both of their types…the core would just pull their power from them without fixing it. It’s a black hole right now. We have to repair the core and get it stable then healing can happen”

Drake lowered his head and muttered “I’m sorry Fia…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia grabbed a glass and got Serena some water, but she hovered in the kitchen for a few moments. She hates that she got Drake so badly hurt, she never should have let him come along she began to think. Then having him basically growl at her in annoyance just hurt Al the more, though she could forgive him for that. In her eyes, she deserved it for bringing him with her to this time.

"So how do we fix that before healing him?" Kay asked John after he explained why it was safest for Fia not to heal him in this moment. She also heard him apologise to Fia, despite her not being in the room. "Drake you have nothing to be sorry for okay?" She told him, as Fia finally came back into the room, walked to Serena and handed her the glass. "Here..." She simply said.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Drake nodded as Fia walked in, not seeing her do so. “I snapped at her…she didn’t deserve that…I just didn’t want to get her hurt again because of my mistake…I told her I’d get Bane back here in one piece…so I had to…”

John was tapping his fingers on his arm thinking then said “I’m not an expert in the healing arts…but there might be someone who can…if his willing to help. Manny. He might be able to heal drakes core enough that fia can jump in or…tell us who can heal a soul core. This is the holy magics. Church and heaven stuff…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia listened to Drake talk to the others about her, instantly getting he didn't see her re-enter the room. She wanted to just go over and hug him, hearing how guilty he felt for snapping at her but John continued the conversation about how to heal Drake's soul core first. Hearing him mention Manny made her grit her teeth tightly closed but she said nothing, deciding to keep a poker face instead. She didn't trust Manny as far as she could throw him, but she had to agree that John had a point in his theory.

With the glass of water handed to Serena, she walked over to Drake and gently hugged him. "I told you to get both of you home in one piece you doofus, but I'm just glad you're alive right now" she told him. "Just please don't do anything that reckless again, you scared the utter shit out of me" she told him.

Kay thought about what John was explaining, knowing she wasn't nearly as adversed in this subject as John was. "Then we ask for Manny's help" she said, "we can't let Drake remain hurt when the kids go back to their time" she said again, easily imagining how their older selves would react to the two teenagers coming back injured.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John nodded and said “problem is…I don’t know how to call him…and normally does not do me favors…” he rubbed his neck and Serena said “well let’s get Drake fixed up as much as we can and then figure out what to do…”

Drake smiled weakly at Fia and said “I’ll try…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia wasn't surprised that Manny didn't always do him favours in this time, as it was simply the same in her time. She had hoped in some way it was different in this time and what she witnessed in her time was simply down to something occurring and changing the relationship between her dad and this Angel. Instead of saying anything to him, she kept her focus on Drake and nodded, "that's all I can ask for right now" she told him.

"Have you tried calling to him nicely? A please wouldn't go amiss ya know sometimes" Kay retorted, knowing manners wasn't exactly his strong suit. Overhearing Kay say what she did made Fia smirk slightly. "She's got a point" Josh said in agreement whilst staying close to Serena the whole time.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John looked at them and said “he wouldn’t come even if I asked nicely. It’s against the rules for him to interfere. But…” he looked up and said “a sign or word on someone we could ask for help would be greatly appreciated? Please Manny…this kid just saved the future…”

Serena held Josh’s hand and said “can you help me over to Drake?”

[FuriePhoenix]

Josh nodded at Serena's request and helped her up and over to Drake. He could understand why she would want to go next to him after he saved Bane's life. "Just keep ahold of me okay" he told her softly, making sure he had a proper grip on her so she wouldn't fall, but not hard enough that he'd hurt her.

Manny didn't want to appear and interfere but he had to acknowledge that John's point of the kid risking his life to save their future was valid. He paused the room except for John, as he always did. "You're calling on me a bit too often lately John" he commented. "But you're right, I may know someone who could give you a lead on how to save his soul core" he told him. "But I can't interfere by helping you, but if I was? I'd find what you need in your book of contacts if I was you" he said, hoping the hint of his help was enough, without risking being reprimanded for his actions. He used that moment as he spoke to make the address of who could help him and Drake in his book.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena smiled and moved to kiss his cheek. “Thank you Josh…your the bet you know that?” Bane moved over to lay in front of them, looking clearly worn from his fight and captivity.

John turned and saw manny, then nodded. “Thank you for the advice Manny…and for all you do. I’m starting to see things aren’t as easy for you as it seems…thank you for protecting these kids in the future”

[FuriePhoenix]

(sooooo sorry it's taken me so lon to reply! I've been working at a convention all weekend and not had a moment to stop and look at my rps at all!)

Josh smiled when she called him the best and blushed ever so slightly when she kissed his cheek. It was an action he wasn't fully expecting for some unknown reason to him. He looked down and saw Bane lay down in front of them and knew he had clearly had enough and needed as much rest as possible. "I try" he then said back to Serena before he with the others, all froze in time whilst Manny appeared.

Manny couldn't help but smirk and look surprised that John was actually being nice and seeing someone else's perspective. "I'm impressed John, never thought I'd see the day you'd use your manners on me. Seems these people are being a good influence on you" he said with an amused edge to his tone of voice. Then with that he disappeared again and letting the room move once again. When the room came back, Kay found herself blinking a few times before realising why it felt like she lost a few minutes of time. "So Manny came then? He gonna help?" She asked.

[MegaraFoxfire]

(No worries, I figured you were just busy)

John smirked at Manny and said “I’m human…still growing…thank you”. When the room unfroze he looked at Chas and said “mind grabbing the address book? I think manny left us a hint to who can help us save Drake.”

Drake was shaking now and pale, clearly starting to feel worse.

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas always hated it when Manny froze them or took over one of their bodies to be able to talk to John without the rest of them sticking their noses into the conversation. Sure, he got it but that didn't mean he had to like it. He nodded at John's request and went to where John kept his book of notes and addresses, finding it on the table and grabbing it, bringing it over to John. "Here, but ya better be quick, Drake don't look good" he said, seeing how bad the boy was getting, which was just making Fia more and more anxious.

As he handed the book over, a note dropped out of it and onto John's foot. On the note would be the ingredients from around his house to create a disgusting but powerful concoction with an incantation to help heal Drake's soul core. Two of the ingredients however included Angel essence, which in compared to the second was fine. The second? A phoenix feather straight from the wing.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John took the book then saw the note and bent down to pick it up. He read it over and cursed softly “seems manny was more helpful then normal…I have the cure here. But…two things on the list won’t be easy” he held the note to Kay and Fia so they could see.

Drake was shaking as Serena rubbed his back and tried to think of something to make him feel even a little better. “What can we do?”
