Chapter 2: Faith

When she heard the familair sound of the TARDIS landing, Ahsoka gasped in shock and Constantine turned round and looked where she was looking, were Alex and Faith done already? If they were then that was quick. Or if they were back so soon, it meant that something went wrong.

And whatever it was it couldn't have been good, when Faith stepped out of the TARDIS carrying a new person she barley recognised she asked "what the hell is going on?" And at this, Faith looked st her strangely as if she was joking, when Ahsoka looked at the other person she asked "who the hell is this?"

"It's me Ahsoka" said the person in a calm voice, and all though Ahsoka didn't recognise him, she thought she did "it's Alex" ok that surprised her and when the person claiming to be Alex saw her expression he said "I know, it's hard for me too," he let go of Faith who was helping him walk and walked forward to face her "but it's me Ahsoka, I changed"

"Changed?" Ahsoka said confused "how?" At this Alex laughed and said

"Believe me, I have absolutely no idea" he straightened his posture and then said "how are we on the cult?" He noticed that Sky wasn't with them "where the heck is Sky?" At this Ahsoka then forgot about Alex's current condition, she then put her attention into remembering where Alex's half brother was.

"Back there" Ahsoka pointed in the direction opposite her and then turned back to face her boyfriend "I think he's a little shaken up, by what he saw back there"

"I know what you mean" Alex laughed and said "I think what you went through is effecting him more than usual"

"if Sky snaps again"

"Don't worry" Alex said placing a hand on her shoulder "it won't happen again" he then walked off to find his brother, leaving Ahsoka alone with Faith and Constantine. Constantine was instantly confused by all of this.

"Is someone gonna tell me what the bloody hell happened to the Avatar?"

"That was the Avatar" Faith said "he's just changed," she stepped in front of them to face Ahsoka and Constantine "and believe me when I say, he's gonna need our help in the long run"

"Maybe you" Constantine said "but I did mention that I have other problems to deal with" he looked at Ahsoka and directed this particular thing at her "supernatural things"

"I get it" Ahsoka said putting her hands up in mock surprise "magic exists, supernatural things exist" she turned to face Faith and said "tell him he's not leaving us" when Faith didn't answer Ahsoka snapped at her "tell him!"

"I would love to" Faith said and she looked at Constantine and said "but Constantine never listened to anybody but himself does he?" For a long while Faith and Constantine stared each other, nothing was said and this was becoming awkward, it was a good five minutes before Faith won.

"Ok" Constantine sighed and he put his hands up in mock surrender "fine, you win, I guess I always wanted to meet Death itself, so what the hell" he used his cigerette lighter again and said "let's go find this bastard and this cult" when Constantine said this all Faith could do was smile.

"Glad you listened to reason"

"it wasn't reason I listened to" Constantine said putting away the lighter "it was you, it's always been you, but listen I can't always be there for you" he put a hand on Faith's shoulder to reassure her "you are gonna have to realise that one day"

"You're right" Faith said smiling and she let go of John's shoulder and got out her deck of cards again "but not today, because today we're gonna survive and we're gonna get through this"

"How can you be so sure?" Ahsoka asked her as she tried to process all that had happened recently "Alex, has changed, the future is uncertain, how can you be so sure?"

"Because unlike the two of you, I have something you haven't got" Faith said smiling "faith I have faith" she then walked away to find Alex and Sky before the two actually started fighting...
