John Constantine Imagine - Tumblr Posts
What if John Constantine moved to Derry, Maine to lay low for an extended period of time?
Hiding from creditors and debt collectors, not to mention whatever entity or new enemy he made, that small town that is perpetually in the 80s that just so happens to have a huge population of missing children.
Strange.
He notices it, and he would poke and prod people about it, but the townspeople aren't exactly warm to an Englishman that drinks, smokes, and swears like John does. He knows that something is fishy when he sees how children act like there is no consequences for their actions and violence is startlingly high amongst teens, something is feeding off of the fear and trauma this tiny town just seems to pump out daily.
IT sees John as a threat. And IT makes sure to leave little signs that IT knows what John is.
Bonus points if John has some adopted kid that sees IT and doesn't know how to express what they see to John. Make it his biological kid or some apprentice, its fair game. Just like how IT sees the kid as fair game, smelling the trauma from the kid that makes the kid an absolute once in a life time delicacy for merely being associated with the Hellblazer.
Possible x-over:
if Danny Phantom just so happens to be a kid that is lying low there and IT uses the definite miscommunication and makes John think Danny is making children disappear.
Any fic recs? I may write this.
And imagine the Flash Fam’s reaction when they realized that they pushed Dan to the breaking point?
Like they doomed the timeline again and it was because of those damn kill on sight orders? If they had minded their own business, things would be great.
I like to think Constantine just senses the disturbance and the entire Infinite Realms shifting when it gets out that the Halfa King Phantom was assassinated and that their family seeks retribution.
I can imagine he’d be chain smoking from stress and tearing his hair out as he would tell the justice league. Plus I wonder how Batman would react to the whole Flash dooming the timeline again by killing a kid.
Kill on Sight Orders
The Flash fam has a secret. Okay so they have a lot of secrets, but there's one above all others.
A kill on sight order.
In the worst possible future (one of them there's a lot), a beast named Phantom decimated the world. He took out the entire Justice League, the entire Justice League Dark, any and all small-time heroes that stood in his way. All of it. Everyone.
If they see Phantom as a kid, to prevent the slightest possible chance of Phantom being a thing, it's kill on sight. They all have anti-ghost weapons that can destroy a ghost's core, locked away in a secure facility that they can just run to and grab real quick to get it done.
None of them like it. None of them can risk it.
Bart stumbles into a town that doesn't exist, almost gets got by a ghost that managed to possess him, and gets saved by...Phantom.
A scrawny, teenage Phantom.
He's funny, makes puns, worries about if Bart got hurt or not-he's nothing like the Bad Phantom!
He's not gonna kill his new friend! No way, no how.
But he's gotta keep it a secret from the other Speedsters now, because he doesn't know who came up with that rule but they probably won't understand, and then he'll have a speedster fight on his hands, and no one wants that.
But the government keeps sending letters of complaint to Max, and Max keeps asking why the government is mad at Bart now, and Bart can't tell him "oh it's because there's this town that is off the record and a secret and also where phantom is and i broke in" because that'd rat Phantom out, and even if he didn't mention Phantom Max would want to investigate.
The mailman doesn't understand why his letters keep disappearing but he thinks it might have something to do with the Flash, because there's always a red blur.
