Chapter Five- The truth will set you free

*John's Pov*

"Alright well we need to get Nixon back to his crooked self, you guys stay here and play quarter back and make sure Mona doesn't get into any trouble." Sara speaks. 

It's probably a good thing we are staying here, Pandora was still asleep she's been doing better than she was before but she still needs time to heal mentally. 

"You guys need to get out of here!" Nate comes in practically having a panic attack along with Zari.

"Wait why?"

"My dad is hunting the legends you guys need to leave now!" I nodded running off to go wake up Pandora and get the others. 

"Pandora! You need to get up now, Hank is hunting the legends." she groans not wanting to get up so I just grabbed her and let the others know. 

"What are you guys doing here?" Sara exclaims.

"Nate's dad is hunting the legends." I told her. 

"Crap okay take Nixon and make sure we get out of here."

"Pandora, I'm sorry love but you've gotta get up." I say placing her on the ground and heating the door handle so the Time Bureau doesn't get in.

"Huh? What's happening?" Her dazed eyes gazed at me.

"I'll explain later, carry Nixon's other side." I tell her as I grab his other side. 

"How are all of us supposed to get away when we are kidnapping the president!" Ray screeches. 

"Well not like that laddy."

"Over there!" Mick points to an RV with "The Get Away" on it. We all run and get in the RV and drive off. 

*Pandora's Pov*

"Is someone going to tell me what's going on now?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Nixon is telling the truth, and Hank is on our asses." Sara explains.

"I've been kidnapped by hippies! What do you want? Money? Power? I'll do anything." Nixon hurries out. 

"Oi, I have a hunch about what's going on with you." John says as he pulls out a jar and preforms a spell and a bug comes out of Nixon's mouth.

"Eww! What the hell is that??" I screech.

"It's a truth bug from a goddess. Feeds off lies of the host and leaves them with nothing but truth to tell." 

"Man, to find Nixon it must've had a feast." Sara says and we chuckle and she sits back up front. 

"Time to put dick in a box" John laughs and puts him in a closet. 

I see Mona trying to poke a hole in the jar and then she drops it on the floor and it rolls under the brake of the RV.

"You're an idiot." Constantine says to her. The RV starts to swerve as we hear police sirens behind us and John goes head first into some cabinets. 

"Oh we are time travelers from the future who kidnapped the president." Ray spits out because the truth bug went up his nose. 

"Okay well just as I thought you're as high as a kite I'm calling this in". The police officer says. 

"John, are you alright?" I ask as he rubs his head and I help him up off the ground.

He just grunts as the rest of the crew shouts "Just step on it, we are already fugitives."

30 minutes later

Constantine had already warded off the Nate's dad and we are on our way to "Disneyland".

"And I certainly don't trust you a lot to help me take down Neron no matter how many "go team" pep talks you give." 

The truth bug got out again, great.

"Can't keep me down!"

"Actually ever since I met you, I lie awake at night thinking I am it, and it is me." Ray spits out.

"Also the whole loosened tie is a little try hard."

"Who said I loosened it myself." I grumbled at this comment. 

"You had to of because Pandora is a virgin."

"I'm not into John now put that damn bug away!" I yell as the bug flies into my mouth. 

"Actually that's false, I fell so hard for John just scared to admit it knowing he'd never love me back. He literally takes everything that's wrong and makes it right and now I'm gonna puke." I threw my hands over my mouth covering it as John captures the bug and everyone's jaw looks like it dropped. 

"Dammit! I owe Zari 20 bucks!" Sara snarls.  

"I think I'm gonna be sick." I say before vomiting in sink. 

"That's gross." I hear Mick's voice call out. 

I go back to the couch and sit on the opposite side of Constantine feeling completely vulnerable. He then scoots closer to me and bringing my head down to his lap allowing me to lay there and sleep. 

*John's Pov*

I never understood how Pandora's mind worked with certain things. She was kind, beautiful, while being so bad ass and elegant at the same time. 

"You feel the same about her don't you?" Sara asks sitting next to me. 

"She's the only one who's ever understood me, bloody hell how could I not?" 

"I always wondered why she smelt like cigarettes and why she was never in her room half the time." 

"Yeah, she's was hurting for awhile and I just tried to return the favor." 

"I kind of had a hunch, the way she stood up for you, to the way she looked at you." Mick admits and I smile. 

"You do know, John Constantine is allowed to be happy too." 

I just don't want to mess this up. 

She's special, perfect even. 

Most importantly, she believed I was worth saving.

"If anyone can keep her safe, John it's you even if you don't think so. She trusts you." Sara says trying to keep me from losing my head.

*Pandora's Pov*

I tossed and turned remembering the last thing was falling asleep on Constantine's lap. He was soft, and quite comfortable. However that's not how I felt when I started waking up so I gasped for air as soon as I awoke. "Where's Constantine?" I look around, not seeing him. "He went with Sara to get Mona." I was kind of sad John wasn't here when I woke up but it's whatever. 

A few minutes later I could feel Ray's nerves spike. "Ray what's wrong?" 

"The route Zari gave us didn't work we are getting barricaded." Crap, this is bad and John isn't here to magic us out. 

"I don't have Grade A magic there isn't much I can do Ray!" I said panicking. 

"It's okay, it's okay Nate is here he'll talk our way out of this mess." 

The cops then asks us to step outside the RV and before we know it our faces are getting smashed against it and we are in cuffs. 

"By the powers invested in me by the government you are all arrested under 5 accounts of treason and 2 counts of conspiracy-" Hank started before I cut him off.

"Can you just shut up we get it bloody hell." 

"Mr president are you alright?" Someone asks and we all turn to see Nixon.

"No I'm not okay, and you would grow up to be a bastard too if your name was Dick Milhouse." I laughed as the truth bug flew into Nate's mouth. 

After a heartfelt conversation between Nate and his dad he finally, dropped the charges and as this happened the rest of the crew was back and confused. 

"What the bloody hell happened?"

"It's a funny story actually, we got arrested." Mick tells them. 

I use a spell to get the cuffs off of our hands and John looks at me with pride knowing he's the reason I'm better with magic. 

"Well you guys can be on your way back if you ever get your ship working." As he says this Zari comes flying over us with the ship. 

"The ship was never broken was it?" 

"Nope."
