[IC] I am the fire - Constantine RP

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas agreed that he definitely needed a better way of storing chalk, or most things for that matter. He let JOhn do what he needed to do, trusting him fully in what his expertise. At the question about Serena, he glanced down at her, "Serena? You still with us?" he asked her, trying to get her attention.

It took a good ten minutes before her name was called for the order, making Kay look up, put her phone away and walk over to the collection point where she grabbed the boxes, thanked the staff member and left to head back to the hospital. Something didn't feel right on the way back which made her out of instinct speed up her walking pace to a power walk. She felt like she was followed so she quickly darted into a corner alleyway and hid just to play safe and when she figured it was safe enough she came out of hiding and into the hospital, heading straight for John and Serena's rooms.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena blinked then glanced up at him, his voice breaking thru the other ones smashing against her. “Chas?…sorry…it’s really hard to hear anything…” John was standing carefully as he finished the seal and said “almost done love…just hang on…”

John moved a little and rested his hand on the seal and it flowed white. “Alright it’s on…Serena? Still hear the voices?” Serena blinked and her eyes cleared a little. “Ya but not nearly so bad…I feel Kay is back in the building”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas was glad that he managed to get through to Serena which was of a great relief to him as it meant the voices weren't completely overpowering her. "It's okay Serena" he told her, as he watched John carefully stand up to finish the seal. Seeing it glow white he looked down at Serena as John asked her if she could still hear the voices, a question he was very much curious to know also. "Well that's better than it was before you before" he replied with a small smile.

Seconds after Serena said about sensing her, Kay appeared at the door to Serena's room, glad to see Serena looking better than earlier but she scowled when she saw John out of bed and standing up. "Serena, glad to see you looking better, and you-" She said, turning to John, "back in bed mister." She told him, walking over to Chas and Serena and handing them both a pizza box each and one box of sides for them to share. "Or i'm gonna eat your pizza as well as my own" She added with a smirk at John.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John sat back down as soon as she glared and said “I was only up a moment. Serena needed a barrier…” Serena smiled weakly, looking worse for wear. “Thank you John…it does help. I still hear the voices but not as overwhelming now…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay did agree it was a valid reason for being up but she just worried that he would overdo it and hurt himself even more as he was the most injured out of him and Serena. "Fine, but I don't want you overdoing it" she replied, walking over to him and handing him his pizza box. She then sat on the remaining chair for herself, thinking they'd all be eating together int he one room so none of them were alone. She didn't want to tell them about the follower she had on the way back, that could wait for now.

Chas open his box and was impressed that Kay seemed to remember his taste in pizza topping from the one night before he ordered them all take out, grabbing a slice and starting to it. "Think you're gonna have your work cut out for ya John with Kay around" he sniggered between mouthfuls.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John smiled at her and said “I don’t think I would mind at all…she’s a keeper” Serena looked up and smiled; seeing how he was looking at Kay. She knew the look all too well.

Serena looked down at her pizza, getting lost in her thoughts of the past again. John took a bite of pizza and said “so what can we do to get out of here?”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas smiled, surprised by John's reply but thought it was a good surprise. He glanced at Serena and knew she could see the same look in John as he was seeing, whereas Kay had become a bit distracted by the fact food was in front of her. For someone who was highly observant during most times, she was being a bit oblivious in this particular moment.

"nurse said you both gotta wait to be checked over in the morning by your docs before a decision is made on when you're both discharged." Chas explained as he was the one that found that information out earlier. "so in other words, no more escaping your room after this and risk causing yourself anymore damage." Kay finally zoned back into the room and quipped. "I'd say we're pretty lucky as it is just being allowed to stay with you two. I'm sure visitor hours will probably be over by now" she added.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena glanced up and said “yes but I’m sure they arent saying anything because of the wave that just hit. I can feel it downstairs. The ER is full from some huge accident that happened…a lot of injuries. It would be best if we stayed up here…” John frowned and said “Serena…you sure you’ll be okay?”

Serena smiled weakly and said “of course…” she was lying thru her teeth. As soon as she was alone and the seal got old, the voices would come back and flood her. It would be a long night.

[FuriePhoenix]

It took Kay a couple of moments to truly register what Serena was saying in her head before nodding, finding that if the professionals are too distracted with the ER downstairs then it'd sort of make sense to why they don't seem to care herself and Chas are here longer than they possibly should be. Even if they were told to leave, she dig her foot in and refuse to leave anyway, so in a way she was glad that they weren't being rushed out.

Both Kay and Chas could tell Serena was lying but they were going to say anything just yet as they didn't want to start any drama in the room. Both just wanted to eat their food with John and Serena and for a few minutes not worry about what was going on around them. Though Kay couldn't help but wonder if the tail she had and managed to lose on the way back to the a hospital, and this incident downstairs were related. She mentally shook the thought from her mind, 'no need to worry yourself now' she thought to herself.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John wasn’t like Chas and said “love your lying. You can’t last all night if anything happens to my seal…we could just sneak out during all the fuss down stairs.” Serena raised an eyebrow and said “John, we both need wheel chairs and you need the pins removed from your knee. We can’t go anywhere till all the hardware is removed and we are cleared. I’ll survive one night…two if we must…you can’t take this lightly. You were hurt badly…it will take time for the wounds to heal”

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay did not like the idea of them sneaking out during the commotion downstairs, so when Serena countered his idea with sense and valid points, Kay nodded in agreement. "she's right John. As much as you wanna get out of here, you're in no state to be able to leave. You got really seriously hurt and you almost died a couple of times on the operating table as it is. I'm with her on this one. We need to try and wait it out until morning like normal pstie ta for once." she said, backing Serena up. She also knew as much as she would love to heal John, the level of his wounds would probably completely wipe her out.

"we just need to make sure nothing happens to your seal" Chas spoke up finally after hearing both girls disagree with John in the way they did. "so I'm with the girls on this one. Three against one John" he added. "two of us are able bodied and can make sure everything goes okay" Kay said once more.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John frowned and looked at Serena and said “alright…we just need to keep an eye out for anything…any one could sense Serena or Kay here and feel they can come for help…that can’t happen while Serena is down. Her shadows won’t be able to stop and it will hurt her more…”

[FuriePhoenix]

"Don't worry John, as a team we got this" Chas replied, understanding why he was worried but had faith that between them all they could keep both girls safe as well as themselves. "What Chas said" Kay replied, closing her pizza box, saving a few slices for a little later on as she wasn't sure she'd get any sleep whilst both John and Serena were in hospital beds.

She then stood up, plonked her pizza box on John's lap underneath his own and walked to behind his wheelchair. "Lets get you back into the bed before the nurses have a fit that you're up and out of bed" she told John before looking at Serena and Chas, "Eat up both of you and Serena, try and get some sleep okay? I'll pop in a bit later or something after I've helped this one" she said to her, gently patting John's shoulder.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Kohn moved to stop her but sighed and nodded. “Alright love you win…Serena? Don’t pause to call for help alright?” He let her push her put as Serena sighed and rubbed her face. “You don’t have to stay Chas…you have a little girl to be with right now…”

John moved to the bed and laid back down, flinching. “It wasn’t so bad moving into the chair…put hurts more…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay felt glad that finally John gave up on trying to protest against her suggestion for them both to rest up for the night. She pushed him into his room and helped him into the bed, even if he didn't feel like he needed it and pushed the chair to the end of his bed so he couldn't get to it easily in the middle of the night. she then sat back down on the chair next to his bed. "That'll teach you for moving in the first place, even if it for a good reason" she told him with a slight smirk.

Chas waved his hand in a manner as if to brush off her comment. "Don't be silly, they know where I am and she's sleeping over at a friend's house tonight anyway according to Renee. I'm right where I need to be" he told her as reassuringly as he could. He also knew that if John got too persistent on trying to leave in the middle of the night, Kay would need his help stopping him. He didn't think he would try anything but he wanted to be here just incase anyway.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John sighed and rubbed his wound and said “Serena is going to be in pain all night…I hate I can’t just get us out of here…especially because this is my fault…”

Serena sighed and nodded, flinching at her wound and said “I just don’t want the fuss…John doesn’t need to worry about me…he is in worse shape then me…” she rubbed her temples, her head killing her.

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay looked at him when he spoke, and she wished she could have said 'it's not your fault' but she couldn't, it was partially down to him but it wasn't entirely his fault. "it wasn't entirely your fault. Sure what you did didn't help matters, but Serena said there was something at play there." she explained. She got up and perched on the edge of his bed, laying down partially beside him. "what's done is done and didn't you tell me just earlier that there's no point in dwelling in guilt?" she pointed out to him, giving him a small smile.

Chas nodded, "John is John and will always be in worse states than everyone else. It's just who he is. To save his own skin he invited a damn demon inside him once. Ended up in prison in Mexico because the demon was taking over and killing people." he explained, "what I'm trying to say is that he's gotten out of worse situations than this. He's just stubborn. I'm not gonna hang around to fuss you, just to give you company and make sure that rune John did doesn't faulter for you during the night" he said to her.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John looked at her and said “it’s different when it’s my mistakes that got others hurt…it’s the same thing over and over again…I keep hurting people when I help…am I any better then the monsters out there?” He looked away, the past creeping in and haunting.

Serena smiled at him and nodded. “Okay…I’m worried about him. This place isn’t good for him either. I sense something around here…something dark…and not my kind of dark. This kinds of places always have a nasty around. Feeding off the pain and fear…” she frowned and sat up a little. “Chas…does John feel guilty for his past?”

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay listened and couldn't see how it would be any different when it was his mistakes. Yet it was when he put into question if he was any different to the monsters out in the world. She let put her index finger and thumb u der his chin and made him look at her. "John listen to me, you are nothing like those beings out there. I know I don't know much about you, or your past but I know deep down there's a good guy underneath that massive wall you've clearly mentally put up. If you were so bad Chas wouldn't stuck around as long as he has. But I see a good guy beyond it all who quite literally put his life on the line to save me. I've never had that in my life before" she told him.

Chas wondered when it would start to show that John had many skeletons in the closet and Serena would start noticing them. "we both do. Difference is that John can never move on from it. He lost a kid to a demon in our early naiive days back in Newcastle, England. A demon was trying to take kids and he thought summoning a bigger demon to fight the other one was a good idea. It backfired on us massively and the kid Astra got taken to Hell by said bigger demon. He's never forgiven himself since." he explained. "that's just one thing he still holds guilt for. There's a long list of things" he added. Glancing into the other room, he saw how Kay was talking to John, beside him on the bed and wondered if she could start to help him move on from his past. Or if she'd be another person who has failed to make him let go.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John sighed and smiled weakly at her. “Thanks love…and I’m happy to put my life on the line for yours…your worth every hit…” he rubbed his head and flinched. “Crap…this concussion is a beast…it’s killing me…”

Serena frowned and said “no wonder his so reckless…I bet he plans to go to hell himself and get her back…” she moved a little bit and closed her eyes a moment. “Chas…can you get the wheel chair? I sense something I shouldn’t be here…”
