Josh stood behind her when they reached the leyline that they were headed to. Watching her do what she could was fascinating but he was also aware of looking around their surroundings out of sheer habit as he shoved his hands in his jeans pockets. "do what you gotta do, I'll keep an eye out" he told her, knowing there wasn't that much for him to do other than that.

"hmm" Chas replied as he thought over what Trish was telling him. It was curious to say the least but what really caught his curiosity was the fact she said it was a black bird, not a flaming one. "interesting" he commented as he continued to think over everything. "I guess we'll be adding it to the list of things that we gotta figure out." he told her.

Kay gasped and covered her mouth when he told her what his father did to him growing up. It broke her heart that someone who was mesnt to be a protective figure in a child's life was so so cruel. She thought she had it rough when she was nine years old and her father walked out on her, leaving her alone to fend for herself until Sam's parents adopted her, to save her from the system. The verbal abuse she got before he walked out was traumatising to her, as she could never understand why her looks could be so negative for her father. Yet here John was telling her something even worse. "John I... That's awful... I'm so sorry" she told him as she lowered her hand from her mouth.

"no child should have been told that. That wasn't your fault, you were a baby... What your father said makes me sick.. I couldn't ever imagine being so cruel to my child" she said.

Serena was quiet for a while, focusing on the work. Then she flinched a little as she started seeing what Trish had seen. But she was more interested in the young man with Johnā€™s daughter. She watched him closely as he looked right at Serena ans said ā€œwe need you momā€¦ā€

The force suddenly pushed Serena off the lay line and set her flying, hitting a nearby bench.

Trish nodded and said ā€œit doesnā€™t make senseā€¦my other dreams do after at least a day but this has been going on since they left for Seattleā€¦ā€

John looked down and said ā€œyou will be a perfect motherā€¦my stock wonā€™t be as good butā€¦Iā€™ll try my best not to hurt anyone elseā€¦ā€

Josh kept his eyes out on their surroundings as well as on Serena, not seeing what she was but when she got thrown backwards, he rushed to her side and helped her up onto her feet. "what the hell was that?" he asked her. "are you okay?" he asked again, worry in his voice, wo seeing what on earth could have caused her to have such a reaction.

Chas felt sorry for Trish, he could only imagine how annoying it must be for Trish to not be able to make sense of such dreams at such a young age. The timing he knew was anything but coincidental. "we'll figure it out I promise kiddo." he told her.

At his words, Kay took his hands yet again, "John listen to me. There is no such thing as perfection, but we will both great parents when that time comes because both of us know what it's like to be alienated by a parent. So we'll both do our best to not bring that pain onto our daughter. Whenever she comes into our lives. No matter how scared we both are or get about being a parent" she told him.

Serena flinched as she stood, holding her shoulder as blood hit her fingers. ā€œIt was a energy pulseā€¦the young manā€¦called me mom?ā€

Trish nodded and said ā€œthanks Chasā€¦so, does your ex just not like John or is it anyoneā€¦different?ā€

John looked at her and said ā€œIā€™m not sure Iā€™m worth being a parent after what Iā€™ve done Kayā€¦itā€™s a blessing in my eyesā€¦and maybe Iā€™m too twisted to do itā€¦ā€

Josh found yet again he was learning more new things actually existed in the real world and not just in movies or on the pages of comic books. Hearing that whoever she saw in the tracing vision called her mom shocked him. "What? T-that's uhh...not something I was expecting you to say" he said to her, not sure how to react as he didn't know if that meant she has a kid with him in the future or with someone else.

"just John" Chas replied to her. "unfortunately she's never truly liked him, always saw him as a bad influence and that never really changed." he explained. "The magic world she would rather ignore for hers and Geraldine's safety which I understand, especially when Geraldine ended up in the middle of it one time. But other people she doesn't mind. She really liked our old friend Zed who could have visions and stuff. But John she doesn't like, not just because he's a mage, but just because he puts up this asshole wall around himself to protect himself." he said with a bit more clarification.

Kay sighed and shook her head at his words, "you are worthy of it John" she told him, fully believing what she said. "And if our future daughter came back from whatever time she lived in to save you, clearly she thought you are worthy of that title as well." she pointed out.

Serena sighed and held her neck. ā€œYaā€¦itā€™s the same voice I heard beforeā€¦ā€

Trish Nodded and said ā€œso I can still play are her house and she wonā€™t hate me?ā€

John paused, realizing what she was saying and muttered ā€œshe did come back for meā€¦ā€

As Serena held her neck, Josh took it upon himself to check her head and neck over to make sure she was okay and not injured badly anywhere. He didn't like how hard she went flying backward, but he was also thinking about what she said. "if it's the same voice then what happens must be bad" he commented.

Chas smiled as Trish asked such a typical child thing and nodded, "yeah you can still come over to play with Geraldine" he reassured her. "Renee likes that Geraldine has a friend who can come over and play and Geraldine clearly likes you too" he smiled.

"exactly, she did. Someone who ends up being a terrible parent or so bad of a parent that the kid would want to cut them out of their life wouldn't have their kid travelling time to save them." Kay reiterated to him. "but like you said earlier, we don't know when we become parents, how old she is in her time or anything. So as scary as it is to know we become parents, we can't worry about it just yet. We need to focus on the upcoming threat and everything else" she told him, feeling like now they had been properly talking through everything, she was able to think through it all with a better mindset.

Serena nodded and looked at him again. ā€œHe kinda looked like youā€¦ā€ she rolled her neck to check it over and added ā€œbut now we know it was from the future. The kids are using the laylines to do all of thisā€¦ā€

Trish smiled and said ā€œoh goodā€¦I was worried after last night she wouldnā€™t want me over anymoreā€¦ā€

John nodded and said ā€œwe need to find out who sent that hit team after meā€¦ā€

Josh looked at her surprised at her saying the young boy kind of looked like him. Now he suddenly truly realised why Kay reacted the way she did. He hadn't long admitted to Serena that he even had a crush on her and properly kissed her for the first time, now it was being alluded to the fact he has a son with her? That was utterly mind blowing to him as he ran his hand through his hair and exhaled in surprise. "....I uhh.. I don't k ow what to say to that" he told her. "it certainly seems like it, seems they've been taught well" he added.

"oh sweetie, Renee may be a hard arse at times toward some people but she's a softie when it comes to kids. Much like a certain someone with damages ribs and lung in the other room" he smirked.

Kay nodded in agreement at his comment, if they could find out who sent the hit team after him, then they'd know who else is after herself and Serena. "and in turn find out who is wanting myself and Serena" she replied, lowering her head on his shoulder.

Serena nodded, not even realizing the crazy part of her words when she said ā€œwe have to find out who sent those guys after John. I think thatā€™s our next moveā€ she turned to head back but flinched, holding her shoulder that had hit the bench head on.

Trish looked at him and said ā€œreally?ā€

John put an arm around her and said ā€œdonā€™t worry babeā€¦nothing is going to happenā€¦ā€

"agreed" Josh replied, seeing how she flinched due to her shoulder. "not only that we're gonna get you an ice pack of some kind for your shoulder as well as having me taking a proper look at it when we get back" he told her, concerned she may have dislocated it or something similar. Luckily for her, if she had dislocated it, he knew how to set it back.

Chas smiled and nodded, "he's tried to deny in the past but yeah really. If a kid is in need of help he don't hesitate to help. He once let himself get possessed to fight a monster that was stealing infants to save them." he told her without going into the gory details of what John actually went through. Not even those of them who were there and adults could barely cope with that time in Rome, so there was no way he was going to tell all the details to a child.

"I hope you're right" Kay simply said, staying put where she was as she felt safe. "John? Do you think there'll ever be a day something or someone won't want to hunt me down?" she asked, even though she was convinced she already knew the answer.

Trish frowned and said ā€œpoor Johnā€¦that must have been so hardā€¦ā€

John nodded and said ā€œyes when hell understands that your not going to help them and you prove to the world no one can mess with youā€¦ā€

Josh nodded, "well when we get back to John's I'll put it back in place for you" he told her, walking her back to the mill house as the sooner they got back and put her shoulder back into place, the better it can heal up.

"Eh, he's known for doing a lot of stupid things for the sake of getting the job done. It's just who he is I guess" Chas shrugged, "but that was a tough time in Rome, that much I will say. Anyway, elts get away from the dark moments in JOhn's work life, what do you wanna do today?" he added.

John's answer wasn't the one she was expecting, she was sadly expecting a much less hopeful answer and it made her realise she was so used to being told bad news, that it was hard for her to expect hopeful news by people. "i hope you're right" she replied. "I just...I really need some hope in my life right now ya know?" she told him.

Serena nodded and followed him back, making sure she remembered all the details she could to relay back to the others.

Trish blinked and said ā€œIā€™m not sureā€¦itā€™s been crazy the last few daysā€¦ā€

John looked at her and said ā€œyou got me for hope. And Serena and Chas and Josh and little Trishā€¦thereā€™s plenty of hope when you look at it like thatā€

Josh walked back with her, taking it slightly slow for her benefit as he knew they weren't far away from the millhouse. Even going slower it still only took under five minutes to get back. At the door, he opened it for her, letting her in first, "here ya go, get inside and ill set your shoulder in the main room" he told her.

Trish's seeming shock at being asked what she wanted to do didn't go amiss on Chas and he couldn't help but wonder how long it had been since she last got asked such a thing. "I can take you out to the shops, go to the cinema, do some other thing. Maybe I can see if Geraldine wants to join?" he listed a few ideas, deciding that Trish deserved to have a day where she was just a child after the bad dreams she had been having.

Kay listened to him reminding her of all the hope she had around, realising he was right. She had been so swamped in the doom and gloom of everything, she never really took notice of the positives around her. She looked up at him and lofted her head just enough to place a small quick kiss on his lips, "thank you for reminding me of that" she told him as she pulled away.

Serena nodded and walked into the door and headed for the couch. She saw Kay and John and said ā€œsorry guys, I didnā€™t mean to interruptā€

Trish nodded and said ā€œanything sounds fun. I wasnā€™t sure if you would be needed hereā€¦ā€

John smiled then looked up at Serena and frowned ā€œlove what happened? Weā€™re you attacked?ā€

When Serena and Josh came back Kay lifted her head off John's shoulder but she didn't fully move away from him. "you're weren't interrupting" she reassured Serena as John commented on Serena's state. "nah, she managed to trace the warning to your kid's time and the connection blasted her backwards" Josh spoke up as he came down the last few steps behind them and over to Serena, standing behind her slightly.

He tenderly held onto Serena's shoulder on the top and to the side slightly, "I'm gonna put it back in place on the cou t of three okay?" he warned her, "one....two..."and without saying three, he popped it back into place with a loud crack and pop as the bone went back into its socket. Kay winced at the sound, feeling glad she wasn't Serena in that very moment.

Chas smiled," that's sweet, but I'm sure they can cope without me for a little while. You need to be a kid for a while" he told her. "you only get one childhood kiddo, gotta make the most of it" he added.

Serena waited for him take the pull but when he did it early she gasped and cursed softly. Her head swam for a moment from the pain and closed her eyes, leaning against Josh for a moment.

John sat up a little and asked ā€œwhat did you find out love?ā€

Trish smiled softly then heard joshs voice. ā€œJosh is backā€

Josh hated that he hurt Serena in the process but he knew there was no pain free way of putting a shoulder back into place. "sorry" he told her, letting her lean on him for a moment to breathe through the lingering pain as it subsided. "I can get you some pain killers to help whilst you let John and Kay know what you found out" he said to her, kissing rhe top of her head and heading to the kitchen area.

Walking in he smiled and went to his little sister, ruffling her hair. "she not being any trouble is she?" he asked Chas, to which Chas chuckled and shook his head. "nah, she's been good company actually" he replied to Josh as he saw Josh looking for something, "what you looking for?" "painkillers for Serena" "cupboard to the left bottom shelf" "cheers". Josh then went to the cupboard he was told and pulled out the bottle he needed.

Serena sat down after Josh left and told them in detail what she had seen. She ended with ā€œI think the kids are trying to keep this black bird from rising. At least what itā€™s seemed likeā€¦ā€

Trish frowned and asked ā€œwhy does Serena need pain killers?ā€
