[IC] I am the fire - Constantine RP

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia helped her put Drake onto the bed and let her have her moment. "He's definitely a lot like you both, always being the sensible voice in my ear" she confirmed. "He's probably the reason why I haven't been grounded as much as I could be" she snickered. She then looked at her the moment she said about tidying up downstairs, "nah ah, mum and dad will murder me themselves if I let you go down there to tidy up. Aunt Serena, they have things handled down there. Just let them deal with it okay?" She said to her.

Downstairs, Josh listened to Bane talk and explain that something big happened to Serena at the warehouse, it proving a lot to digest. "Do you think that's possible? For her to be the goddess NYX that is" he asked Bane.

As everyone catted, Chas took the initiative to pick up what he could and tidy up a chunk of the equipment left over the place just to make it a deterrent for Serena. Kay sat next to John and nodded with a sigh. "That she is, I thought I was stubborn but she takes the gold trophy for that one. I'm curious too, something clearly went down, especially if Bane and Josh are talking about it privately" she replied, letting herself lightly lean against him out of exhaustion. "Not to mention whatever went down, effected Drake" she added.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena looked at her and said “they need to rest and be together right now. John just watched Kay die in front of him…he needs to over come that before it’s takes root and haunts him. I’m fine to go down and get them to go to bed and tidy up the mess while I research”

Bane sat down and said “josh…before today I wound say no. But…it’s possible that her father being a vessel could have lead to his blood giving the power of the true goddess to his offspring. But I’m just not sure…”

John looked at her and said “that’s true…it was big enough to trigger something in him. It might have saved him today. A normal human even with gifts wouldn’t have lasted as long as he did with a damaged core like that…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia sighed and shook her head, "as much as I agree with you on the parts about mum and dad, I don't agree with you on the latter points. You're exhausted Serena, I can tell and you need to rest just as much as the others do. You realise they'll make you rest up right? They won't rest until you do" she pointed out. "If they're anything like the parents I know from my time anyway" she added.

Listening to what Bane had to say, Josh felt it was a lot to try and comprehend. "Is there a way for you to find out? Or any of us to find out for that matter?" He asked, curious if there was anything he could help with or not.

Kay nodded as she looked up at him, "it definitely had to have helped surely. Guess it's yet another bit of proof he really is Serena's kid" she replied. "Not that I've been doubting that" she added, before yawning, the events of the day and coming back to life suddenly taking its toll on her.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena smiled and said “I know…but it’s about them right now. Not me. I am fine I was wasn’t injured or anything…let’s go make sure they are okay shall we?”

Bane thought for a moment then said “well, if we knew a seer they could tell…or any one with holy sight…they can see gods…but apart from that I’m not sure”

John smiled and said “let’s get you to bed. I’ll deal with Serena if she’s in a stubborn mood”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia sighed when Serena was continuing to be utterly stubborn and just do what they all want her to. "...fine" she replied back, now feeling too tired to argue with her anymore about how clearly exhausted Serena looked. She figured the others might have better luck than she was having.

Josh listened to what Bane was saying to them and nodded, but he certainly couldn't think of anyone who was capable of that kind of sight, he was still getting used to what he did know of so far. "I guess it's something we can look into tomorrow or something" he replied, knowing that none of this group really had the energy to do anymore searching in this moment.

On the couch, Kay simply gave a nod to the suggestion of going to bed. It did sound like the best option for her right now, even if she did try and make Serena get some rest herself. "Okay.." she replied sleepily, the events of the day and the resurrection now fully catching up to her. She pulled herself away from John's shoulder and stood up. "See you guys in the morning" she said to everyone left in the room, "night Kay" Chas replied.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena smiled and kissed her forehead then said “we are pack now…family…nothing will come between that or break our bond” she smiled at them both then left the room, her shadows following.

Bane nodded and said “true…I’m barely keeping my eyes open…which…I should thank you all for coming for me…”

Serena passed Kay on the stairs and Serena said “night love. I’ll make breakfast in the morning alright?”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia smiled even though the kiss on her forehead did surprise her slightly. It really did seem like she was learning something new about her family from this time each moment she stayed here. She was close to Serena but she never could recall her 'aunt' ever kissing her forehead before in her time. She knew her mother did, but that was her mother and was sort of expected by Fia, but not Serena. In her time it was all about the hugs and possible forehead touches. The kisses were usually saved for Drake and Drake alone, which was completely valid to Fia. Drake was her son after all. She gladly went downstairs with Serena and the shadows and like them, bumped into Kay on the way down.

"Night you two, make sure you both get some sleep soon as well." Kay replied to Serena before giving a thumbs up at her offer to make breakfast in the morning. "Sounds good, see you in the morning" she then said, continuing up the stairs and to the hallway where the bedrooms were before she found herself pausing and wondering if she should go to her room or to John's. Thinking over the pros and cons of both options, she headed to John's, not wanting to risk any nightmares to be had by herself. Waking into his room, she properly took note of it and what was chucked around and really, how little he seemed to have. Shrugging off her thoughts, she walked over to the bed, pulled off her leggings and got into his bed where it took her only about three minutes before she fell asleep on her side to leave room for him.

Josh couldn't help but smile sympathetically when Bane said how tired he truly was. "It's not surprising, it seems you all are absolutely shattered and in need of a good rest" he told him back, "but there was no way these guys and girls were gonna leave you to get anymore hurt." He then added, feeling like he couldn't take credit for the save as he stayed behind to look after Trish.

Chas stretched his arms up with a yawn and then stood up, "I'm gonna head back before I'm too tired to drive. I'll pop round tomorrow to check on you guys" he said eventually, deciding that heading home to his own bed was the best decision he could make right now, as as much as he appreciated the bed in one of John's spare rooms, nothing beat his own bed. "If ya need me John just text" he said, seeing Serena and Fia make it back to the main room. "You heading off Chas?" Fia asked, to which Chas nodded. "Sure am kiddo." He replied before he found himself getting hugged tightly by Fia.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena walked in as Chas was leaving and said “we will take care of things from here Chas, don’t worry” John frowned then said “I’ll text ya in the morning…let me know when you get home alright?”

Bane smiled weakly and said “well…thank you for saying that…now we need to get Serena to bed before she gets worse for wear…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas nodded, went though he believed that Serena should rest and not do a single thing for the rest of the night. He then smirked when John said what he did, "will do mate, I'll say you say hi to Geraldine too" he smiled, patting his mate on the shoulder then headed out, getting into his cab and driving home, knowing he couldn't possibly let his daughter down by not being home for the evening.

Josh nodded in agreement, he really didn't want Serena staying up any later than she already had been. He didn't care what she would have to say about being being fine, her body was telling them all a very different story. "Agreed" he replied, then walked back over to the others, "I think Kay, Trish and Chas have had the right idea, we should all get some sleep for a bit and just start fresh in the morning" he suggested, having seen that Trish was already fast asleep on the couch, curled up in the corner.

Fia nodded at Josh, "I agree. I'll gladly crash down here for the night. I know what will be my room won't be in existence yet" she said to everyone.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John stood up slowly and said “they are right love. You have had a stressful day. You should sleep” Serena looked at them and said “guys I really fine…” bane walked to Josh and watched her closely.

John sighed and said “Josh take her up stairs. No one is working apart from me tonight alright?” Serena moved to argue but a suddenly shift made her stop. She went white and John looked over. “Serena?

[FuriePhoenix]

Josh stepped up to take Serena upstairs when she stopped dead in her tracks. He saw how white she went bad he really didn't like how pale she went. "Serena? Everything alright?" He asked cautiously, placing his hand on her arm as he got more concerned about her. "Bane, do you know what's going on with her?" He asked him, glancing over at him.

Not even Fia knew what was going on with Serena but whatever it was, she didn't like it. "whatever is going on, she definitely needs rest and she really doesn't have a single valid counter now to argue it." She commented, also curious what was going on. If Serena hadn't just halted as she went to step, she would have told her dad to also go to bed. She didn't like the idea of anyone staying up and researching.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John walked over and moved in front of Serena who seemed to not be listening. He rested a finger on her forehead and blinked. “She’s getting…a message?” Then Serena stumbled back, breathing hard and falling into Josh. She looked at John and said “Bane…go to the shadows…something is wrong…” Bane nodded and vanished as Serena was shaking.

John said “bed. Now. You are going to have a stroke if this keeps up. Let Bane handle it for now” Serena nodded weakly, clearly not fighting anymore

[FuriePhoenix]

"a message?" Josh questioned, but knew only Serena would be able to answer that question deep down. When she snapped out of it and stumbled into him, he quickly grabbed her to stop her from falling onto the floor and picked her up. When John told her to go bed and she didn't argue him on the matter, Josh had to admit to himself deep down that he was thankful she finally admitted that yes, she did need to go to bed. "I'll take her. See you guys in the morning" he said him and Fia who was still in the room.

Taking her upstairs, he took her to his room as he remembered that Drake was in her bed. "You can have my bed tonight" he told her softly, carrying her into his room and laying her on his bed. "I can crash in the chair again if you don't want to share the bed" he suggested.

Back downstairs, Fia looked at her dad, "you should go to bed as well. I can grab the spare blankets and stuff myself" she told him, not wanting to give him an excuse to stay up if he didn't need to, which in her eyes he didn't.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John nodded as the couple headed upstairs, clearly worries now. He looked at Fia and said “no…I need to figure out what the heck is going on…you take the bed and I’ll pass out in the den…”

Serena shook her head and said “please stay…with me…today was like a war of stress…I saw my father in there Josh…in the warehouse…”

[FuriePhoenix]

"and you promised mu-Kay and Chas that no one would be staying up figuring this out and would get some rest" Fia countered back at him, stopping herself from saying 'mum' so much when in this timeline she technically didn't exist yet. "I know you're worried about Serena and Kay but you're gonna be of no use to anyone if you're working yourself too much" she added slight more softly than her previous remark, walking up to him and looking him straight in the eyes. "So please, just do what you've been nagging Serena to do, and go to bed yourself?" She asked in an almost pleading manner to him.

Josh smiled softly when Serena asked him to stay beside her, but that smile faded slightly when she mentioned how she saw her father in the warehouse. He pulled off his shirt and kicked off his sneakers, but left his jeans on before he got onto the bed and pulled her into his side. "What happened when you saw him?" He asked her, "if you wanna talk about it that is" he then quickly added after his question, not wanting to pressure her into talking.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John sighed then said “your mum is more likely in my bed. I can’t sleep in her room since that is where you need to sleep. So I’ll read then sleep in the den alright love?” He smiled, planning on working thru the night as long as he could. For Kay’s sake.

Serena curled into him and said “he kissed my forehead…smiled at me…it’s like he was passing the torch to me…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia didn't particularly like what John told her back, finding it still disorienting to some degree that her parents were still only in the beginnings of even getting into a relationship, let alone sharing a room yet. "....fine. but Chas or anyone has a go at you, I wasn't in agreement of you staying up. You know I'm more than willing to sleep down here near Trish" she replied to him. "It's just weird for me right now...I'm so used to you two...well...ya know. Sharing the same room and stuff..." She added, stepping up to him and hugging him like she was used to doing in her timeline. "Night" she finally said, letting go of him and going upstairs, pausing half way up, "what room is mum's in this moment in time?" She asked.

Josh listened to Serena talk, albeit in a sleepy tone a d he found himself smiling a little at what she said and her curling up into him. "Maybe he was darling, maybe he was" he replied to her.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John smiled and said “I would go but I’m not sure if her skin is over stimulated from the rebirth…don’t want to make it worse…her room is next to Serena’s. Good night kiddo…” he stood up and moved to the den, looking out of it.

Serena smiled weakly and nodded. “I’ve changed…something within me…it’s awake now…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fia could see some logic in his assumption about Kay. It hadn't been long since her mother died and came back to life again, something that in a way she could have almost forgotten with everything else that had happened. "Thanks, see ya in the morning" she said one last time and continued up the stairs to the upper level and walked down the hall, finding Kay's room which she did so eventually. It was only when she went inside she remembered she came in earlier to get Kay some leggings, realising that if she forgot that, she must be more tired after everything than she thought she was. Kicking her boots off as she walked to the bed, she pulled her jeans and jacket off and got into the bed. Staring up at the ceiling she sighed, 'man it's been one hell of a day...I just hope Drake feels better in the morning. I wonder how our folks are in our timeline' she thought to herself as she felt her eyelids close and soon fell asleep for the night.

Josh kissed the top of Serena's head as she spoke of something awaking inside of her. It was something Bane and himself were wondering. "Me and Bane wondered something along those lines" he admitted. "But for now, get some sleep okay?" He suggested to her soothingly. "Sleep will do you some good and I can guarantee you'll feel a lot more refreshed in the morning" he added.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John sat at the desk, starting to research and work on what the heck happened with Serena. He worked for a while, his back aching but he pushed the pain away. Soon he started on a lead and started reading from an old tomb while he sat on the ladder by the book case.

Serena nodded weakly and closed her eyes. “You are right…I’m spent…thank you Josh…we saved lives today…I feel it…”
