Kapitel 455: Hell

"You can speak in front of my father. I am sure he won't leak secrets." John said. Jameson who heard this felt grateful that his son trusted him but he got up.

"You guys can discuss yourselves. As an investigative reporter it would go against my ethics if I hide something from my readers. If I don't know something then I won't have to report." Jameson replied.

John was surprised by this behavior of his father. He had curiosity for everything but for the first time he deliberately avoided secret knowledge. Jameson bade goodbye to them and got out. John didn't stop him as he understood the dilemma of his father.

"So tell me why you feel the Earth being threatened?" John asked as he sipped his tea.

"One name.. Mephisto." Strange said.

"I'm listening." John said as he put the tea cup on the table.

"Few days ago, we had some demons from his dimension cross to ours. This event by itself wasn't something we needed to bother about. But one of the demons approached me. Saying that he wants to make a deal with me." Constantine replied.

"You have always been the target of demons. How come it's always you Constantine?" John asked Constantine.

"What can I say, my handsome features attract girls from all dimensions." Constantine said with his classic smile.

"Yeah and a magnet of problems." Mordo grumbled.

"Did Mephisto come to make the deal or one of his demons?" John asked.

"One of his demons. He asked me to bring a person on Earth to him." Constantine said.

"Oh. Who is this person?" John got curious and asked

"I don't know. The demon didn't reveal who he was searching for. In exchange Mephisto will allow me to be his right hand." Constantine said

Listening to this, John burst out laughing. He never expected that Mephisto would approach Constantine, a summon of his, to make a deal. That was the stupidest decision Mephisto could ever take in his life.

The other three were nor surprised to see John. John was on a very high level so a beings like Mephisto didn't matter to him. But Mephisto was very powerful in his own dimension, which he called hell.

Though, Mephisto's hell wasn't actually a Hell. The dead had always been the department of Death. Mephisto had some dead souls in astral form inserted into some bodies and later proclaimed his territory as Hell.

Even though he belonged to the first iteration of the universe, and had a very long history of being a demon, he wasn't really that powerful outside his dimension and he had an eye for Earth always, as this would feed his ego and power and prove himself as the most powerful one among the last remaining demons.

Now, he had his eyes on this earth. Probably because he sensed many delicious souls here with all the new Pokemons and the new powerful Avengers. Like Black Winter, their earth too must have sparked the interest of his. And since Constantine's magic was on the dark side, his smell must have attracted the demon and he tried negotiating with him.

"That's enough to say you didn't accept the offer." John asked.

"I didn't. But I have a feeling he will come for me." Constantine said

"Alright. Accept his offer then. This will be a good way to get our hands into a different dimension." John said. The emergence of Mephisto gave him a brand new plan and he had already decided which world he would need to bring next.

And he couldn't wait to let the chips fall in the right places.

"You want me to accept his proposal?" Constantine asked, surprised.

"I told you that John would suggest the same thing." Stephen said as he too felt this was the best chance that they could destroy Mephisto once and for all.

"You guys are idiots. It's the damned self proclaimed Lord of Hell. You want me to strike a deal with him?" Constantine shouted.

"We are not saying to strike a pure deal. Just write the deal as you would be the right hand man of Lord of Hell. So after we kill him you can continue to be the right hand man of whoever sits on the throne." Stephen said.

"Oh.. This all hangs in the balance if you kill him." Constantine argued.

"No. This hangs on the balance that he can get the person who he wants to search for." John replied this time as he would not let Mephisto get his hands on any person that he had eyes for.

"Are you sure you can stop Mephisto?" Constantine asked.

"We will never know if we don't try. He had been evading our search for a long time. It is time to send the old man to his grave." John said.

"He has been a problem for us for such a long time. It's high time we put an end to it." Mordo said as he too was excited of taking down a dimensional being.

Kapitel 456: Marriage

"So it's decided. Constantine will be the bait." John said. Constantine's mood sulked a lot when this was decided at the end. He didn't like being in the cross hairs of a super dimensional being. But since all have decided on this, he couldn't go against. Especially against the decision of John.

All they needed now was to wait for Mephisto to send his minions or just be there to meet Constantine. Everybody was banking on the fact that he would try to lure Constantine. John even checked Earth if there was Johnny Blaze, the ghost rider.

Though there was Robbie Reyes (the ghost rider in Agents of SHIELD) due to John's interference, he never became a ghost rider. There was no Spirit of vengeance on their Earth. John had always kept an eye on it as Ghost rider was a major character in the marvel multiverse.

Later Stephen, Mordo and John decided to chalk out a rough plan of how to handle the whole problem of him and take over his dimension. John didn't give anyone any idea of the new world he was going to summon.

That would be his trump card when the fight breaks out in the future. After an hour of discussion, the three of them left. Constantine refused to go away if he wasn't provided some compensation, so John offered him a free supply of alcohol and cigarettes for a year.

After a lot of contemplation, he accepted that and left.

Both Jameson and Emma returned with their children. John gave away food to his babies to make them happy.

"What did your parents say?" John asked.

"At first they felt weird but they understood it later. They were happy and proud to have so many grandchildren." Emma said.

"We need to marry first to make your parents the official grandparents." John said in an all serious tone. Emma shuddered when John said that. Until this day, they never spoke of marriage. Though essentially they were close to immortals, her notion towards culture didn't change because of this.

Emma became silent as she didn't know how to reply. John looked at her and held her hand tightly.

Jameson who went inside came back after being freshened up. John didn't continue on the marriage topic and diverted speaking more on it. He needed to propose to Emma in order to marry her and this wasn't the right time to speak on this.

"So some kids saw your babies and started using the pokedex on them. They thought your children were Pokemon." Emma said to diffuse the awkward situation that suddenly popped up when Jameson arrived and they halting the topic of marriage.

"Really? hahahhaha..." John said as he found it amusing. By now Umbrella had rolled out all the possible electronics that are required for Pokemon. Pokedex, mining tools to get new stones from underground, the technology to teleport Pokemon over distant places and such other things.

Now on every kid's hands there would at least be a pokedex, if not a mobile.

"So what did you hear the answer from the pokedex?" John asked as he was curious of what the pokedex would reply to his babies.

"It was the voice of Fury saying -' That's no motherf**king Pokemon, that's an alien. So better start running motherf**ka.." Emma replied, trying to copy Fury.

John hearing this burst out laughing. He never expected that Fury would install such a setting on the pokedex. Umbrella and SHIELD had always been in a cooperative relationship.

John having babies of his own was never a secret but he didn't expect Fury to pull off such a prank and that too on the Pokedex on kids. He wondered how SHIELD allowed Fury to even add that part, but nonetheless it was hilarious. John was literally rolling on the floor thinking about how Fury managed to scar the children for life.

When Jameson heard this from Emma he too had a good laugh. He had only seen Fury once or twice but he could understand what kind of person he was. They all had a good laugh.

The rest of the day went as usual with Emma and John trying to come up with good names for the babies while playing with them. Jameson too joined in the naming part. They all had a good time.

But all good things have a time limit. Emma had a leave after a day as her ring called up for a situation. Jameson too went back to his home, leaving Val for the care of John' children while he too went to Disney to see how the next movie was coming up.

The next movie would probably be the last DC movie to come out. So he wanted to pay extra attention to it. John was pretty sure that Mephisto would take time to approach Constantine so he had enough time to do all his works in peace while also looking after his children.
