[IC] I am the fire - Constantine RP

[FuriePhoenix]

Hearing that Manny seemed to have given them the cure for Drake made both Kay and Fia want to sigh with relief and at first, want to celebrate but as they let John continue speaking they knew it would be pre emptive to celebrate. Fia took the note and list of ingredients, scanning her eyes over them and then saw why John cursed softly. "Then take one of my feathers. If it saves Drake I'll give up any amount of feathers" she told him with conviction. She didn't care her wings would be slightly bruised from the plucking, she would go through any pain for her family.

"What about the Angel essence though?" Kay asked, "don't suppose Manny just gave up some and planted it somewhere?" She added, whilst also being impressed with the way Fia was just standing up and offering to help in the way she was. She couldn't help but think her and John's future selves clearly brought her up right if Fia was being this selfless. "I bloody hope so, or we gotta find a Angel to either be willing to give it up or kill to gain it. The latter I'm guessing won't go down well with the big man upstairs so to speak" Chas commented.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John nodded and said “we will need to be careful with your feather. Serena can you do it?” Serena looked up and nodded. “I think so. I can make it clean. I’ll need to research for a moment to be sure what I’m doing…”

Drake was white now and shaking as he muttered “knowing Manny…he wouldn’t leave you hanging where you have to deal with others of his kind…let’s look around…he would put it somewhere safe and…where John would put it…” Serena rested a hand on his forehead and cursed. “His burning up”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia knew they'd have to be careful, but she also just wanted Drake to be better again. That was all she cared about in this moment, Drake was getting worse and it was breaking her heart. She looked at Serena, "just pluck it, don't worry about me Aunt" she told her back, "I can talk you through it" she then added. She then looked over at Drake as he spoke and hated how he was declining so fast. She also knew that despite how much she didn't trust the Angel, Drake was right. The Angel was strange like that, says he can't interfere but he does indeed help when it was desperate times, but she also knew a side if Manny that no one else did, a side she couldn't disclose in this time.

"Dad, go look for the essence and the other ingredients with mum, me and Aunt S can keep watch over Drake and get the feather from myself" she told John, then summoned her wings out, being careful not to knock anything over in the process.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John nodded and said “I’ll check the vault, Chas check the bar and Kay love you check the study” he ran for the stairs as Serena was checking Drake again. “Josh, can you help me lay him down. Fia you sure about this?”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas and Kay both nodded when John suggested places of where they should be checking. Neither wanted to have Drake in pain or discomfort for longer than was necessary. "Got it" they both said in unison before rushing off to their designated places and started looking all round for the angel essence.

Josh stepped up, "sure" he replied, instantly helping in moving Drake carefully from the single chair to the couch where they could lay him down with caution. Fia grabbed the blanket laying off the back of the couch and draped it over his legs. "Yes I'm sure. He's the closest thing I'll ever have to a brother, I'm not losing him. If just giving up one single feather from my wings will be a key in fixing him? Then I'll do it, the feather will grow back" she told Serena with conviction, even though she wasn't sure if it would grow back for certain. Serena didn't need to know that though.

She out stretched one wing, stretching the feathers out as much as possible for Serena, "just...pluck one from higher up so it doesn't affect my ability for flight?" She suggested.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena nodded and moved to find a smaller feather that didn’t have much to do with flight. She found one and held it, finding the root and said “one two…” then she pulled out.

John was searching the vault, checking everything he could think it could be.

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia let Serena find a feather of her choosing, she felt every tiny touch through the nerves in her feathers but remained calm. When Serena chose the feather and found it at its root, she mentally braced herself for it to be pulled out. As Serena pulled it out on two and not three, she grunted through gritted teeth as she felt the resistance from the feather before it came free, sending waves of pain through her wings and causing them to ruffle and shiver ever so slightly to compensate from the light trauma she willingly put them through. "Well that's one ingredient acquired" she commented.

Kay was checking the study where she seemed to recall where he kept a lot of stuff. She looked through a lot, making sure to be careful not to touch anything that she didn't know what it was. Eventually, she caught something glimmering out of the corner of her eye, making her walk over. "that's it" Fee said to her inside her head. With a nod, Kay carefully picked up the small vial of glowing liquid that didn't quite resemble liquid, nor did it resemble smoke, but something in between. "I found it!" She called out to everyone.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena looked the feather over and said “perfect. Sorry about that, I couldn’t find the nerve point before I had to pull” she set the feather in the bowl on the coffee table.

Drake was shaking on the couch now, his eyes dull and not their normal color. But Serena wasn’t facing him and couldn’t see.

John was walking out of the vault when he heard Kay and ran for his office. “Where was it?”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia waved her words off with her hands, "don't apologise, it needed to be done" she replied to her as she rotated her shoulders to relieve the ache that was running through her shoulder blades and wing. She had felt worse but she wasn't going to say anything as it wasn't about her in this moment. She glanced over and saw Drake's state and quickly walked over, kneeling down. "Hey Drake, hey, come on mate, keep fighting yeah?" She said, trying to keep him mentally in the room, but she was getting more scared by the second.

Kay carefully picked up the vial and turned to John as he was just rushing into the study. "Found it glowing between some artefacts on the bookshelf." She explained, handing it over. "Fee could tell it was what we needed" she added. "We got everything Drake needs now?" She asked.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena turned and cursed, moving next to her niece and checking his pulse. “We need to hurry. This is hitting faster then before. Josh love? Can you fetch ice and towels?”

John was checking the list and said “just need everything else then we can start. Hopefully we aren’t too late…if his core fails, we will have a demon on our hands”

[FuriePhoenix]

Josh nodded when he spoken to, quickly dashing off to fetch some towels, "towels should be in the storeroom next to the kitchen!" He heard Fia call out, making him skid to a stop and turn to where she directed him. He opened the door and grabbed a couple of clean towels, feeling thankful that things weren't different in Fia's time to now. He then dashed to the kitchen and opened the freezer, grabbing the ice and tipping some into one of the towels, before putting the rest back and bringing everything over to Serena. "Here" he said, handing it over.

Kay didn't like the idea of a demon in the house and causing chaos, whilst the house's magical alarms all went off. "Then we better hurry" she told him, "they sound panicked down there." She added.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena nodded her thanks and laid the ice towel on drakes head and the other on his core which she covered with ice as well. She turned her head and called “John! We have to hurry!”

Drake was shaking and muttered to himself as his skin was hot to the touch.

John nodded and said “Serena is a doctor but she can tell this might be more then she can do alone. Chas! I need the big potion bowl and the stand. This is going to be a wild one”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia held the one towel on his core in place so Serena could focus on his head. She could feel the heat coming off of Drake, which made her glad that heat really wasn't a bothering factor for her. "Be careful, he's getting really hot" she warned Serena, not wanting her to burn herself on Drake's skin. His muttering was also concerning her and knew if her parents and Godfather didn't hurry up they were going to have a serious problem on their hands.

Kay nodded at what John was saying when she heard Serena shouting at them to hurry up. She then heard Chas shout back his acknowledgement of John's request. "Let's get this down to them and check on what's going on" she suggested, heading downstairs.

Chas did exactly what he was requested of, he went to where the items were stored and grabbed them, his arms full, he carefully but quickly headed to the main room and put them down. "Okay, I've got the stuff" he said.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John ran down as Serena was trying to keep Drake cooled off. She looked at John as he took the stuff from Chas and then said “John…”

John was looking over the list and frowned a little. He reread it then said “all in the bowl. Just need pure water to finish it off…then I do the spell and hopefully it will work…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Downstairs, Kay helped relieve Chas of some of the stuff he had in his arms, taking some and putting them on the table, she found the phoenix feather in the other small bowl and took it putting it into the larger one, and waited for John's instructions. With the instructions given, she put all the ingredients in, minus the angel essence as she signalled for Fia to get the water. Fia nodded, and with reluctance to leave Drake's side, but urgency to help him, she got up and rushed to the kitchen to get the water needed. She grabbed a glass and filled it, wanting John to have plenty of water, as she didn't know how much was needed.

Coming back with it, she handed it over to which Kay took and put it beside the bowl. She then handed the essence to John, "okay, it's all in except for the essence and water, I'll leave that to you to put in." She told him, placing the essence in his hand, wrapping his fingers round the vial. She then stood back, pulling Fia back with her for safety, she didn't want anyone else to get hurt today. Chas also stood back, deciding he would remain close to the girls, his paternal side kicking in when it came to Fia particularly.

Josh also stepped back, making sure that Trish stayed back and out of harm's way just incase. He didn't know how this spell was going to go and he wasn't prepared to risk Trish getting caught in the cross fire if there was to be one. "Serena, step back with us. John has this covered" he requested.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena was wiping drakes face and she looked at John who smiled and said “I got this love…I promise. He is going to be alright” Serena sighed and kissed drake’s forehead then moved to stand with the others, tears in her eyes.

John then poured the water in the bowl and last part the Angel essence. Once it was all in the bowl it started to glow white and John started saying the spell on the page, his eyes glowing as he did so.

[FuriePhoenix]

Josh was relieved in a way when Serena agreed to step back and let John take charge of this situation. He wrapped an arm round her shoulders to pull her into his side, whilst his other arm stayed round Trish. He hoped this would work and that what this Manny told them was indeed true and helpful, he didn't want to think about the other outcome of this and Fia having to either take Drake's body back to their time or worse.

Kay was also nervous as was Fia. They watched on as John started the process of helping Drake and saving his soul and life, Fia watching as she wanted to always learn and see the younger version of her father (in her eyes) at work, but also wanting to make sure Drake would always be alright. Yet there was another wide of Fia that wanted to cower and hide her face into Kay and Chas, even though she didn't, and remained watching eagle eyed the whole time.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena held onto Josh and muttered “please let this work…” Trish nodded and said “make sure no one is behind John…”

John was chanting the spell, the bowl glowing now as the aura filled the room. Suddenly the bowls contents came out and turned into a gas form, John pushing it to Drake who was white and his eyes demon red now. The gas floated down and wrapped around Drake like a cocoon, becoming webbing and glowing gold. John moved to check his work but then suddenly thru his hand back.

Serene reacted as the webbing exploded and threw her shadows up and wrapped around the watchers. But John was hit straight on and sent flying across the room, slamming into the far wall and hitting the stairs hard. The light faded and Drake was on the floor, unconscious

[FuriePhoenix]

Everyone in the room watched on as John did the spell to try and save Drake. Fia saw how Drake was getting whiter and whiter in complexion and now his eyes were turning red, showing sure signs he was becoming the one thing she had been shielded from for most of her life, or at least, her parents had attempted to shield her from for most of her life. She kept praying to whatever diety in the universe would listen to her, that Drake would survive this and come back to her. She couldn't lose the only being that was the closest thing to a brother she would ever have.

When John threw his arm back, she clung onto Chas and Kay more. "It's gonna be okay Fia" Kay whispered, but then she wished she could have taken her words back as as quickly as she whispered those words, she saw John fly backwards and land on the ground hard. "John!" She exclaimed, letting go of Fia and rushing to his side to check on. Fia gasped and began to go over to Drake, but Chas pulled her back, "not yet Fia. We don't know if it worked" he warned her, not wanting to risk a phoenix hybrid to possibly be arms reach of a possible new demon. "Serena maybe you should check on Drake" Josh suggested, not knowing who else could, as it was becoming clear that everyone was looking on nervously.

Kay knelt down beside John to check him over, seeing he was unconscious, which worried her greatly. The others were all dealing with the shadows and Drake, in her eyes, she had to be the one to check on John. "Please John...wake up" she pleaded, wiping her face to stop the tears that were now threatening to fall from actually falling.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena jumped over as the shadows fell back into place and Serena rolled Drake over. His skin was back to normal and his wounds gone. She checked his eyes and sighed. “His clear guys. It worked. I think his going to be out for a while though.” She picked him up and slipped him back onto the couch, checking the rest of his vitals.

Trish looked at josh and said “it’s okay now bro”

John groaned softly, his head bleeding a little where his hit. He was okay just knocked around a bit and drained from the spell use
