I am the fire - Constantine RP

As Bane handed Serena her mug of hot chocolate and Serena suddenly having an idea hit her, Kay leaned forward and grabbed her coffee and a cookie, dunking it in the coffee. As she bit into the cookie, she looked at Serena, "Who else would they be after?" she asked after swallowing her mouthful of cookie.

"well that's a good question, but I feel like you guys wouldn't like the answer. It has that whole doomed question feel about it" Sam spoke up, unable to remain silent completely as she gave Kay a look that said 'you cretin' for dunking the biscuit in the coffee. Dunking in drinks like tea and hot chocolate she could get behind, but not coffee.

Kay nodded in understanding. "I can get that" she replied to him, resting her head against his shoulder as Bane went and sat next to Serena. She listened to what Bane said and now he mentioned it, it did seem rather strange. "makes you wonder if the vessel of Apollo is their main objective" she commented back.

Sam came out a couple of minutes later with the drinks and cookies on a tray. "drinks are here" Sam chimed, putting the tray down on the table so everyone could get what they wanted easily enough. She then sat next to Kay on her other side, so she was in the middle of John and Sam.

Sam smiled as Serena asked about hot chocolate and nodded, "girl, I always got hot coco in" she said to her, walking to the kitchen to make the hot drinks for everyone who wanted them and to dig out the cookies.

Kay turned her head to John and looked at him, to make sure he was alright, squeezing his shoulder with her hand. "you going to be alright?" she asked him.

Kay glanced at Sam comforting Serena which she smiled at, seeing that after all this time she really hasn't changed. Sam caught Kay looking and gave her a small smile back before looking up at Bane returning with a suggestion for what to do. "I think that's our best bet" Kay replied, "anyone in need of a drink or food whilst you wait for updates?" Sam asked around the room.

"that'd be great, thanks Sam. I'll have a coffee if you got it in and please say you still keep a large stash of cookies" Kay commented, remembering her sister's love for the food. "of course I do!" Sam smiled, standing up. "anyone else?" she asked.

Sam looked over when Serena went to get up but stumbled backwards. She quickly walked over and helped Serena sit back down. "take it easy, you need rest as well" she told her. "Kay has it under control for John" shhe added.

"don't know if I should be worried or flattered you're getting this worked up over me" Kay told him, trying to make a little joke to try and cheer him up a bit. "but don't be sorry, we all need a comforting hand at some point" she added.

Kay agreed with Serena and Bane, she wanted to do her part in finding the vessel for Apollo but she also didn't like leaving John in such a vulnerable state. "sounds like our best bet for now." she said, leaning forward and grabbing the glass of water, placing it in John's hands. "sip this. I'm not going anywhere okay? I'm staying here until the shadows find something. I won't leave you" she told him.

Sam watched them all, still finding everything they were talking about mind boggling, and the only thing she could truly cokprehend was John's panic attack and Serena's injuries.

Kay continued to stay beside him and rubbed his back soothingly, "she's right. They weren't real... Nothing is going to tear me away from you. Ever. The shaking will stop if you can focus on your breathing, trust me. I'm right here" she continued to speak softly and calmly, focusing her calm on seeing if she could make it go from her bond sigil to his.

"I'm right here" she said again, not wanting to move until she was certain John was out of this panic attack.

Kay could see how worked up he was getting and recognised the signs all too well. "come on John, breathe with me, in..... And out" she said, taking in a deep breath, holding it then exhaling trying to make him do the same as he held her close to him. She guided him to sit down again, making him look at her. "in.... And out..." she said again as she made him breathe with her.

Sam rushed to the kitchen to get a glass of water for when the panic attack would subside for him, coming back with it in her hand, then putting it on the table between the two couches. She felt so proud of Kay for being able to just help John without a second thought. It reminded her of how Kay would always defend her to the homophobes in bars or school, not holding back with her choice of words to close minded people.

"John you got this, just keep taking deep breaths for me. I'm here, I'm always going to be here" Kay reminded him.

Kay listened to him admit what he saw and went slightly wide eyed. His nightmare was one of her own, just with added details and she instantly hugged him tightly but not so tight that she would hurt him. "oh John..." she said, as Serena looked toward Sam who looked even more in shock.

Sam didn't even know who this Fee was but what John was describing sounded beyond awful. She covered her mouth with her hand as she let the shock overtake her for a moment before looking at Serena. "you're both safe now...thats the main thing" she eventually managed to say to Serena.

"John I'm not going to let anyone or anything take me to Hell. Especially with Bane by my side. I'm coming back to you, no matter what. But...if you'd rather I'd stay here with you and we think up another plan then we'll do that. I'm never going to leave you, I swear."shhe said to him, cupping his face in her hand and stroking his cheek with her thumb.

Hearing John express such worry for her made her equally feel wanted and loved, but it also broke her heart as she didn't think anyone outside of family could have ever grown to feel so strongly about her. She was thankful that Bane was having her back on this however.

With Serena speaking up, she looked over at the other woman, curious to what she had to say and when she said about them getting nightmares implanted in their minds, it all suddenly made more sense why John didn't want her going out there. Turning back to John, she looked at him, "you saw me getting hurt...didnt you?" she assumed. "or worse" she added, looking at their hands then back up at his eyes.
