Expect the unexpected. That's something that John Constantine has tried to live by. He's lived as long as he has by expecting the unexpected, and by conning some of the most powerful beings in existence.
I turned to see him stick his hand into that oversized coat of his and pull out a card. He then pulled out a small flimsy pack and what looked like a lighter. He hoofed the card over to Celestia, and I watched as she looked at it, and then at him.
Sticks his hand in his pocket then hoofs it over.................
I agree that it could use someone else going over it. That's the thing about doing your own edits. There's always going to be something that your eyes just skip over. I might have to see if someone has time to do a once or twice over for me.
It's based more on the Hellblazer comic version of John than anything, but the new television series is using the Hellblazer version of John as well, so it could work with either of them. That said, some of the people that John's going to talk about is from the comics. Gemma, Kat, Zed, Epiphany, Maria, and Shade the Changing Man are all characters from Hellblazer.
Gemma is his niece, who was once his apprentice, Kat was a love interest of his who decided it was better to not see the supernatural than it was to be a part of it, Zed was a love interest who was part of a misguided religious movement to bring the massiah back to Earth. She was supposed to remain pure, but because she and John slept together the magic that was supposed to give her Immaculate Conception ended up backfiring and destroying her along with most of the church she was with. Epiphany Constantine is John's wife. She is the first woman who was able to take what John does, and in fact supports it. She herself is a skilled alchemist, and is able to create potions that work as good as any spell John makes. Maria... She's John's half demon daughter. Unlike her two brothers, which were killed by the first of the fallen, Maria isn't completely evil. The reader is given the impression that she's wanting to follow in her father's footsteps. And Shade... Shade is a nutter with way too much power. Shade was a normal man, but he became endowed with the power of the aether/limbo/antimatter (actually Shade's power is constantly in flux, and in Hellblazer it was the only place it was given a sort of stopping point. Basically he had the same abilities as Batmite or Mr Mxyzptlk (Think Discord). The problem is he's so obsessed with a girl he was stalking that he can't really get past it. He's been known to go from pleasant to violently insane from one moment to another. However, since he has become known as the insanity god, and he resides in the aether most of the time, he's bound by the same rules as all gods, devils, and the like. If he gives his word he has to follow it.
Great start of the story. I'll be honest and admit I was dubious about the crossover, but color me damn well impressed.
Hope you keep it up

Thanks, I didn't catch it, but I'm fixing it now.
Needs an editor, will take story from 4~4.5/5 to 5+/5
Great chapter. I enjoyed seeing Comstantine talking back to Celestia and seeing Twilight connect spiriually with Constantine.
Runes, rather than ruins. Gabriel rather than Gabrel.
Also, they need to start teaching John to use his horn.
Really liking this one, hoping and waiting for more.
These things just happen. Don't question it, just enjoy.
