Part 2: John Constatine
Two years later
Superman/John
[After months of being hot on the trail of finding John. The pair finally found him in a bar.]
Raven and Clark walked in ominously. The crack of the door opening made John who was shit-faced, quickly turn around. "Aye fuck off will ya. me and my mate already called dibs on this one go find ya own bar ya wanker." said john half drunk. He paid no attention to who exactly he was talking to before turning around again and continuing to drink.
"John, its me Clark." hearing that name was enough to raise John's curiosity.
He walked towards Clark and began to feel his face "BLOODY HELL! it is you. But. I. I Thought you were dead mate? I thought everyone died that day." his voice died off as he looked away.
"No John not everyone, there were a few of us who either escaped or are being kept imprisoned. But that doesn't matter we need your help."
"We?" asked John and from the shadows emerged Raven. "GOOD GOD, you loo' like shit kid." exclaimed John "What the bloody hell is wrong with her?" John said addressing Clark as Raven put her cowl back on.
"Her powers have been weakening for the pat two years. She slowly losing her grip on her father. She needs-"
John cuts off Clark "-So you came to me so I can-Uhhhh let me guess teleport you back onto Apokolips to fight Darkseid aye? Brilliant mate, just brilliant another plan for the man of steel. Should work just as dandy as last time." John says with a sarcastic smile. "Well let me be the first to tell you fuck off." John yelled. As he turned around Raven grabbed him by the shoulder turned him around and hit him so hard that the drunkness actually began to wear off.
"Ah bloody hell love, I thought your powers were weakening, seem pretty good to me," John said readjusting his jaw and then taking another drink of his whiskey.
"Are you going to help us or not!" Demanded Raven in a stern voice.
John simply looked down and said, "I'm sorry but no."
"I knew it, it was a waste of time to come to find help from a coward" Raven said in a scolding tone.
John who had his head still down looked up and put his eyes dead set on Raven, an evident anger had formed on his face after that sentence.
"John please I know this won't be easy but we all need to make some sacrifices-" said Clark before John interjected
"-Sacrifices? Sacrifices? You're telling me about sacrifices?!?!" said john laughing hysterically then in a blink if an eye exploded. "FUCK YOU, FUCK. YOU." John said so loud his voice sounded scratchy. "DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME ABOUT SACRIFICES!!! I SACRIFICED EVERYTHING YOU HEAR ME EVERYTHIIIIINGG" John's pasty white skin had now turned blood red, veins began to pop on the side of his neck and even forehead, and his pupil dilated to a minimum.
John was apoplectic "I lost everything because of you!!! All because we haaad to follow your pretty little plan that could obviously not fail right?!?!? Oh the man of steel, superman would win the day because he knows best. Well, look where you got us LOOOOOOKK. We lost the team, we lost the titans, we lost earth...I lost. Zatanna." He broke off at the end with a knot in his throat "so go on fuck off with your little plan I don't want no part of it," John said defeated.
"John please Zatanna would want-" Clark said before John cut him off.
"Don't you ever say her fucking name, I swear I'll kill you." john said with a vial tone.
"I'm sorry John I didn't mean too."
"I know supes you never mean anything yet you still do it," said John all but broken.
"John please just help us find someone and I promise you will never see us again."
After a long pause "fine follow me. Aye ya coming ya big baby." John said to a pile of rubble. Raven and Clark both were initially confused, until out the rubble emerged an enormous 7ft tall demon.
"What the hell is that thing," asked Clark.
"Etrigan," Raven stated as she walked up to him.
"Etrigan it's an honor to meet you. I've heard stories about you glad to finally meet you in person." Raven said courteously.
The massive demon looked down at the tiny girl with no expression and then cracked a smile. "Likewise Rachel Roth of earth it is not often I get to meet such royalty of the underworld." an immediate bond of respect formed between the two.
After arriving at John's hideout he asked them what exactly they needed from him. "A locator spell" stated Raven.
"Hmm well ok sit here, for now, ill be back soon," John replied.
Raven sat down and let out a sigh of pain.
"How are you holding up kid" Clark asked.
"Not good every day I can feel my father slowly slipping away from me. I don't know how much longer I can hold him back." Raven explained worried.
"Try not to think about it once we defeat Darkseid we'll find a way to help you I promise" Clark's words gave comfort and hope to Raven.
After a short while, John came back "Okay I'm ready now who exactly am I looking for?"
"Damian Wayne," stated Clark.
After that John contoured a spell that showed where Damian was.
"Well, there ya go lads pretty far walk if you ask me. But luckily for you, all I need is about 20 hours to contour a spell and ill have ya over there in no time"
"Oh for fucks sake just hold on." said raven as she teleported everyone to the other side of the world to the place where Damian was at.
After teleporting, Raven fell down to her knees and began throwing up. However almost immediately they are ambushed by the assassins. Clark and John jump into action while Raven was still getting herself up.
Meanwhile, Etrigan was sitting down still drinking.
"Oh come on mate we're being attacked by assassins do something will ya?" Pleaded John.
With an annoyed look, Etrigan agreed to help "fine". Etrigan stood up and began to make quick work of everyone in his path"fear me, fear me Etrigan the destroyer is here." he said depressed.
However, they were too badly outnumbered. And eventually one of them got an upper hand on Raven and as he swung down his sword. A loud and deep shout is heard "ENOUGH" the words were said so loud and with such authority that even Etrigan stopped in his tracks. From the shadows emerged a young man and his dog. Damian Wayne.
