HELLBLAZER!

Zatanna was making her way back to the tower after her night on patrol. She went down an alley to see a man standing there, his jacket marked with blood. “My daddy taught me how to defend myself.” she answer, narrowing her eyes to see him better. “wait…you’re the guy from the park…the guy who summoned the damn demon!” she scolded. It took her almost an hour to put that thing back where it came from or so help me. “What trouble did you cause now?”

  🚬 "did your daddy know about all the evil things that lurk in the shadows?” john sounds like he just stepped out of a bad horror movie, it makes him laugh to himself. he’s surprised she recognizes him because he doesn’t recognize her until she brings up how they met. “that’s me, love.” she sounds annoyed and he enjoys it more than he’ll ever let on. “trouble? i’m innocent.” it’s so easy to lie. the words spill from his lips like he’s uttering the truth. “i fell over and cut my knee. the blood somehow got on my shirt.” he’s wearing a cocky grin and he lights up another cigarette. “my, my. such a pessimist.”

Jeremiah stopped dead in his tracks when he heard the other man speak. He what? He’d seen a lot of things in his time but he’d always been more tied to the scientific realm of things. Not so much religion. He glanced over at the man who’d spoken and eyed him for a minute. “How does one accidentally summon an evil supernatural spirit?” He asked, deciding to walk towards him so he could lean against the wall beside him. “I suppose I’ll wait here then until this demon is dealt with.”

   🚬 he looks at the male, intrigued by his looks. the white skin makes him look like casper the friendly ghost. john chuckles to himself at his own joke. “mumble a few words, a little hocus pocus, throw a dead man’s toe in the witches cauldron. the usual.” he can’t take what he’s done too seriously. that means admitting he really fucked up and put gotham in danger. “curious fella, aren’t you? it’s not like those demons you see in movies. it’s much deadlier.”

Zatanna made her way to the local park after numerous reports of a monster on the loose. The closer she got to the location, the stronger the evil aura became. Damn it. Enchantress maybe? Klarion wouldn’t try anything too soon. Her thoughts raced as she got closer. She stopped at the words of the stranger, almost laughing out loud, almost. “YOU DID WHAT?!” she screamed, giving him her full attention. Gotham was in enough shit. Son of a - “egnahc” she spoke, her hero attire manifesting on her. “Take whatever spell book you found back to where it belongs. I’ll handle the demon.”

   🚬 john laughs as the woman screams at him. she’s feisty, he likes that in a woman. “i summoned a demon. i’m a bastard, i know, no need to tell me.” he takes another drag of his cigarette and looks up at the sky. he knows what he has to do but it’s all such a ball-ache. he watches as she casts a spell, eyebrows raising. “party trick?” he’s wearing a cocky grin. the kind that women and men love to slap off his face. “oh no, love. you won’t be handling that thing alone. it’ll eat a pretty thing like you alive.”
