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.
