Life's Gifts

-Chapter 5-

John walks down to Chas waiting in the taxi still carrying Rowan with him he opens the car door getting in, watching Rowan's head so she wont bump it on the roof of the car. Chas looks at the both of them from his back mirror wondering where Angela is,

"John where's Angela?"

"They've taken her, we need to get to Ravenscar and step on it."

Chas sighs shaking his head and starting up the car pulling out onto the street pretty quick, John setting Rowan down in the seat beside him, starting to put bullets into his cross gun. Rowan watches him closely,

"Dad? Where's Mom?"

"She's at the hospital…Were going to have to go after her."

They arrive at the hospital pretty soon, John and Chas getting out but John crouching down to Rowans size to look her in the eyes.

"Rowan I need you to stay here while I go get your Mom can you do that for me? Can you stay here?"

She nods watching him smile and close the car door to lock her inside, John and Chas walking inside.

"John do you think this will be like last time?"

"Probably."

They both stop in a hallway, John giving Chas a gun. Chas nods his head smiling for the gun,

"John just be careful…"

John nods as he runs down the hallway beginning to get pretty pale from fear, he runs down to the room next to the pool seeing four, or five half breeds. John smirks standing up on a chair,

"Hello my name is John…You all are in violation of the balance and if you don't leave now I will deport you back to Hell."

John gets out his old golden lighter lighting it and putting it up to one of the sprinklers making them go off, holy water coming from the sprinklers thanks to Chas. John gets soaked putting his lighter back in his pocket, the half breeds starting to writhe in pain from the holy water breaching their skin. John steps down from the chair firing his gun at the half breeds killing all of them, he opens the door walking into the pool area watching Angela walk out from the pool soaking wet.

"Angela?"

She looks up at him her face distorted from the possession

"shit!"

Mammon possessing Angela grabs him by the throat trying to strangle him and John tackles her to the ground chanting words from the roman possession book to try and get Mammon out, Chas running in landing on his knee's besides John to help. Mammon struggles against their words, Angela coming back but Mammon trying to chew his way out through her stomach. Angela screams from the pain tears flowing from her eyes, John trying to cast Mammon out. Suddenly a cold wind blows through the roof the wind throwing John and Chas out of the pool area into the room next to the pool landing on the glass doors, breaking them. Knocking Chas complete out for a while, John having trouble keeping himself awake. A Angel half breed floats down to Angela carrying a sword, Angela still writhing in pain from Mammon, screaming and crying.

"John please help me!"

The half breed man wearing nothing but a black t-shirt and jeans kneels down beside Angela raising the sword above Angela's stomach to set her free, Angela screaming: John! John gets up on his knee's trying to get over the shock, seeing the half breed about to let Mammon loose.

"Angela! No!"

Back outside in the taxi Rowan starts to hear her Mother Angela screaming, Rowan closes her eyes finally discovering her psychic abilities she inherited from her parents. Time stopping completely, John starting to freeze in place, the half breed freezing as well the sword still raised in the air about to be plunged into Angela's stomach. A seventeen year old girl appears six feet away from Angela and the half breed Angel, wearing a black dress coat, white shirt, and black pants. Her long black hair braided back a few strands hanging over her brown dark piercing eyes, she looks over her shoulder at John seeing he's unfrozen himself but can't get up from the pain in his leg. He looks at the girl seeing she looks familiar,

"Rowan…?"

She smiles at John turning back to the frozen scene in front of her she walks closer grabbing her Mother fast, time unfreezing and the sword going into the ground the half breed looking at her shocked. She gives the half breed a fake smile,

"names Rowan…Rowan Constantine asshole."

She raises her hand setting the half breed on fire burning him to ashes instantly, she sets Angela's unconscious form down putting her hand over Angela's stomach casting Mammon out for good. Angela wakes up looking into two familiar eyes but she looks up at the girl oddly seeing it's not John,

"Rowan?"

In a smooth casual voice the teenaged girl Rowan looks down at Angela,

"Hi Mom."

The teenaged Rowan helps Angela up both of them running over to John and Chas, John starring at Rowan all the time. Rowan crouches down to John's level on the floor helping him up to his feet,

"you know it's not polite to stare Dad."

"But how?"

"I'm not real sure…I guess my little self brought me here."

"Your more powerful then I thought…Pyrokinesis?"

She nods smiling,

"I can do more then that."


After waking Chas up and defeating Mammon they all head back to the taxi, the teenaged Rowan disappearing. John opens the car door seeing the little Rowan asleep he smiles picking her up gently, holding her in his arms while he sits down, Angela sitting down beside him. Angela smiles looking at Rowan then John,

"did you see her in there? She acted just like you did."

"I know…Pretty powerful too."

They both watch Rowan sleep as Chas starts the car pulling out onto the road to get them home.
