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.

Doing a thorough check on Chas's head, Kay was relatively confident that she could just heal him herself without using a first aid kit and putting him through more pain and discomfort. She placed her hand on his injury and exhaled slowly but deeply. Closing her eyes, she focused on what needed to be healed and like with John before, a warming light appeared under her hand and she began healing him. It didn't take her long to heal him as the injury wasn't as deep as she thought it would be and with very little wincing as he felt his skin knit itself back together, Chas remained still.

Hearing John walking down the stairs and then say her name, Fia wasn't expecting him to just know her name without him being told it. She turned round to face him, showing her face to him for the first time. "Hi dad..." she said, calling him dad out of habit. She saw him looking peeky still and wanted to just rush over and help him, but she didn't know if it was the right thing to do, so she stayed where she was, shoving her hands in her jeans pockets, feeling awkward.

With Chas healed, he stood up and patted Kay on the shoulder, "thanks Kay..." he told her, getting a nod in response as they both then walked back downstairs together to the group with added members. The moment she saw Fia, Kay froze in her spot at the bottom of the stairs, staring at Fia. The likeness to herself and John was remarkable, not even she could deny that was indeed the daughter they were destined to have.

Kay and Chas both sighed with relief when the alarms stopped going on and as John got up, Kay hovered close by to help him of he needed it. Yet she also didn't want to come across as clingy or over protective either, she watched him head to the door of his room and nodded at his request, "sure thing, I'll follow you down in a moment" she told John before heading over to Chas and checking his head over. "it's not as deep as it initially seems..." she told Chas. "good to know" Chas replied. She then gestured for him to sit on the edge of the bed so she could see if she could heal him with her ability or see to his wound the mortal way.

Josh nodded at Triah's question, "yeah...they are. They helped John in the earlier problem and helped us in another" he explained to her as he heard John coming downstairs, and looking round the living room, it seemed Fia was hearing it as well as she instantly turned round to have her back facing the side that John would appear from. "talk about dramatics" Josh whispered to Trish with a small smile.

Josh made sure Serena was okay on the couch before walking the few steps over to Trish where he took the fire poker from her hands and put it down. "a lot but I'm glad you were here and safe with Kay and John" he told her, pulling her in to hug her, more for himself than her. He could have died and left Trish with no blood family members left and that mentally killed him more than anything in this moment. "I'll explain when the alarms get turned off" he said.

"it's sort of a long story, but to cut it short we got ambushed on the way back, cab got crashed into. I'm alright though...but uhh, there's someone downstairs you need to meet who is the cause of the alarms, but they enot an enemy" Chas explained to John as he saw him sit up. Kay looked at Chas and something was just telling her that it was their future kid, after seeing Drake earlier.
