Josh nodded, but Chas thought it. Might end up being easier said than done. He didn't know if his pessimistic thought was because he'd been around John for so long or if he genuinely was almost losing hope in keeping rhe girls safe, but either way it truly did feel like they were barrelling straight into something they couldn't change. "so how do we do that?" Josh asked next.

Kay let him speak, but hearing what he was saying was breaking her heart. She hated hearing that he was blaming himself for everything when in her eyes it wasn't his fault. She had a target on her back years before he came into her life. She placed her hand on his cheek and looked at him back, "John, Serena may have done the fighting in the alleyway, but you got me out of there, by giving me the shelter of this home you saved my life that night. If the demons hadn't of got me, the cold weather and living on the streets, not knowing when my next meal was coming would have. As for the warehouse? Yeah, the spell went wrong but you still got me out of the iron cage, you got me to Chas and safety. You wouldn't have killed me in that warehouse, that iron cage was killing me, draining me and making me weak. And as for the mage in Seattle, well, me being caught was my own doing, I didn't stay alert when doing such an mundane task as taking the trash out. I let my guard down and its that that got me caught. If that mage was still around and coming then we would be fighting side by side to take him out. So please.... Please don't call yourself a failure."she told him, almost begging him at the end.

During the group's split and chatter, Fia weighed up where she should go, should she stay in the main part of the room with Drake and the others or go after John and Kay. In the end. She chose to find her parents, and as she got near, but out of sight, she overheard what Kay and John were saying to each other making her lean against the wall in hiding as she listened. She eventually showed herself, by stepping out slowly, "guys, you two are an utter powerhouse of a couple in my time. Dad, if you were a failure in keeping mum safe, then you wouldn't have me. I'm proof you're not a failure." she told them.

Josh and Chas listen to the explanation that Drake was giving Serena about why she was getting a black shadowy hand after the onslaught in Seattle. Neither could say they fully understood the How's about it all, but they did think the explanation made some kind of sense to them. "so we need to keep her away from anyone that will release the dark side of her?" Josh suggested, but partly in question.

Kay let John speak and sighed when she hesrd him out himself down so much over what was happening, "John listen to me, you haven't failed yet and I don't believe for a second that what happens in Fia's time is down to you failing. None of that is going to be your fault okay? And the fact they've told us how it all happens we can have the upper hand in stopping it, unlike our future selves." she replied to him." but right now, all you've proven to me is that you can succeed in keeping me safe. You got me back from that crazed mage, you saved me in that warehouse, from the iron cage... You saved me from those demons in the alleyway by getting me out of there and offering your home up to me. You're my saviour John Constantine" she told him with conviction.

Kay looked at John when he shrugged away from her and excused himself from the room. She couldn't help but look back and wonder what was going on in his mind. She even toyed with following him but Serena speaking, made her snap her attention back to the room and conversation at hand. "I'd say then let's see if there's anything in these books about it and start from there" she suggested, as she noticed Trish tugging on Josh's hand and speaking to him.

Josh looked down as Trish tugged on his arm and reminding him about the state of Serena's hand from the night before. "well remembered Trish" he replied to her then looking at Drake, "do you know anything about that? Serenaehand turned black last night after the events in Seattle, is that linked to all this?" he asked his future son, hoping that they could give an answer to about that little situation they had to deal with, when John's growl was heard by them all.

"I'll go after him" Kay said, lifting her hand up to stop Chas or Fia going after him. She then swiftly exited the room and walked around to find him, eventually succeeding in doing so. Cautiously walking up to him, she placed her hand on his shoulder, "john? You okay?" she asked.

Fia and Kay both felt the anger coursing through John because of the bond. It was unbearable and it was the kind of anger that Fia was trying to avoid putting on him, but it seemed she failed in that part. As she let them all take in what she was saying, she sadly nodded at his question. "in a round about way....yes" Fia replied sadly. "he has help from Pralaya to do so and from what we-" she gestured between herself and Drake, "managed to figure out, he's made some kind of deal with her so he and his gang are safe from whatever happens to the world. If he helps in making Serena lose so much control, she becomes his reaper of darkness that not even you manage to stop" she sighed as she finished explaining.

Josh looked down at Trish and took her hand back, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "it's gonna be okay Trish. I promise.." he said to her, then looked up at them all, glancing round the room. "this all happens in the future, right? Way after you two have been born? So... We got time to come up with a safe plan?" he asked. Fia looked at Drake then back at Josh, "it does, but they're wanting to bring the destruction forward....so me and Drake don't try and fix things and stop it. We're a thorn in their sides and a threat to them" she said.

Everyone around Serena nodded in understanding at her words, they understood where she was coming from and none of them were asking for her to just stand back and not do anything. They were just asking her not to do it alone and avoid the right people. At John's question, Fia sighed and pinched her nose as she was dreading this question the most. "I'm gonna warn you now dad. You're not gonna like what I'm gonna tell you." she warned, "obviously from what you're future self has told me in stories, The First of the fallen is a given. He wants mum just to have one up on Lucifer. That you all know anyway, but the next name I'm gonna give you, you're not gonna like, someone you know of, at least in my time... Its Antone Arcane whose also on the prowl for mum, he's even being willing to work with Pralaya so he can twist time to make these changes to try and win... And he does in my time" she explained.

"wait...are you saying the very embodiment of The Void is working with the immortality obsessed 19th century douchebag to continue his life of immortality by having Kay?!" Chas exclaimed, almost choking on his words. Fia nodded in a somber manner. "and he practically wins....with Pralaya's help, he gets mum from The First of the fallen and taints her essence so drastically she becomes a black shadow phoenix, burning the country down city by city, giving him all the souls he could ever want...this is why I said it also fucks with you dad mentally..." she continued.

"but what about Serena?"Josh asked, wondering how she comes into all of this. "how do you think Antone and Pralaya successfully turn mum into a shadow?" Fia said, looking at Josh, to make him figure it out for himself.

Everyone in the room listened to everything being spoken, hearing all opinions before anyone decided to say anything else. Kay then was the first to speak up, seeing the frustration on the kids' faces that was born from concern for them all. "Serena, no one is asking you to let anyone get hurt or jeopardise anyone's futures. But you're not the only one who has to fight all their life. All of us have had to fight all our loves for one reason or another. If our kids have come back in time to stop what's looming, then we should trust their opinions on this matter. Right now, they know more than we do and because of that I'm trusting their instinct. If they say you need to stay as far away from Midnite as possible, then quite frankly I'd trust them" she explained.

Fia glanced at Kay, a little surprised that she was agreeing with her and Drake over something, but looked back at Serena nodding and pointing in Kay's direction as if to say 'listen to her'. "we can all come together here as a group to fight, where we have all the power in this millhouse. In my home" she said in agreement with Kay. "the girls and Drake are right. Just because you've fought all your life alone doesn't mean you have to keep fighting alone. If something happens to you, you're jeopardising Drake's life now, not just yours" Josh spoke up calmly, looking at the much bigger picture.

Fia sighed and nodded lightly, "its on par with that and getting to being worse...yeah. I'm risking a lot leaving future you alone..." she replied, not wanting to say more but she still wanted to stress how important it was that they didn't fail in what they were trying to accomplish. She then overheard the conversation between Drake and the others and stepped over, standing beside Drake.

"Drake is right Serena. Trust us, you do NOT want to be going after Midnite. He is still incredibly powerful in our time and unfortunately something that cannot be changed. Not to mention, that what Drake said is true, he's more after you and your shadow ability than he is mum and dad. If you go after him you'll be serving yourself up on a platter to him." she explained, urgency in her voice. "so please, don't go after him. It's safer for everyone if you stay away" she added.

"so what are we to do? I can't stay in this millhouse for the rest of my life, nor can Serena. We'll get cabin fever for a start" Kay spoke up finally, staying close to John.

Fia nodded as she pulled away from the hug slightly, "yeah, and in turn you...Well, your mental state" she replied truthfully. Kay looked at her with curiosity and sadness as those words spoken seemed to say so much. If whatever happens in Fia and Drake's time is bad enough to make them time travel backwards to save them, then it must be a big deal, bigger than any of them could have previously imagined. It brought forward just how dire it could be if Hell got her. There was so much to lose she never really thought about before.

Chas listened with great interest and scrutiny to make sure he didn't miss a single bit of information. He looked at Serena when she spoke up about the mage from the tunnels and nodded, agreeing with her, "it'd make sense, if he himself came from the kid's timeline or something, then he'd definitely know more than we currently do" he said, thinking as he was speaking.

Fia wasn't expecting John to hug her back, she knew as well as anyone who knew the infamous John constantine, he didn't let many people in, let alone trust new people. So when he hugged her back, she took it by surprise but revelled in the hug. It was strange being hugged by the younger version of her father, but right now she almost needed it as much as he may have done. Kay let John pull her into the group hug, hugging him back and even after a few seconds, put an arm round Fia. "we're more glad you're alright" Fia replied, knowing that she may not get on with her mom as much as her dad, but she felt she kbew her mom well enough, that even in this time, she could speak for Kay.

Chas and Josh listened to Drake try and explain why they were even back in this time and interfering with their troubles. Both thought hard about what Drake was saying and to Chas it didn't sound like the kind of scheme Papa Midnite would delve into. Which just made him ponder more why a man like Midnite would even get involved, or was it just coincidence that Midnite was after the girls at the same time? It almost hurt his head trying to figure it all out. "do you guys have any clue to who it is?" he asked Drake.

Fia could see how much John was shaking and how Kay froze on the spot seeing her standing here in front of them all. She nodded at Drake's words when he came over and knew deep down he was right, so she walked over to both John and Kay, "I'm sorry you have to meet me in this way" she told them both, but mostly focused her comment to John. She didn't fully know what she could do to help, so she just stood there in front of them for a few moments, before she couldn't take it any longer and wrapped her arms round John, hugging him and tried to share her calming aura with him through the family bond.

Josh and Chas both just watched on as Kay and John came to the realisation they were looking at their future kid, both unable to say anything or do anything as the awkward and mostly silent exchange happened between them. When Serena finally spoke up, their heads turned to her then to Drake, "she's got a point, care to fill us in a bit more about what's happening?" Josh asked Drake.
