So I played this app where you collect champions from the Marvel universe and each had a certain type like magic or tech hero and I decided to make a story where the main character is based off one of those types. It starts off a bit weird I've been trying to change up my writing style and I used a lot of foreshadowing for future chapters but I'm worried it might come off as garbled but I really think it gets better as it goes on, hope you enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up in a place I didn't recognize, a place I didn't even understand. Everything was just off, things looked strange in a way that I couldn't quite comprehend, it felt right and wrong all at the same time, and it was familiar yet somehow completely alien.
I think I may have been dreaming, and in my dream I met someone, or maybe it was a something that had a conversation with me.
My memory is blurry and I can't even tell you what we were saying, but I do know what I was feeling.
At first I was scared, then angry, then sad for a long time.
After that I accepted something and I felt calm… a mission.
I had accepted an important mission, and he had given me gifts to help me complete it along with his apologizes.
I woke up in yet another place I didn't recognize, but I wasn't in the least bit concerned.
I didn't know all the details but I knew for sure that I had agreed to this, I accepted the price and was given my prize. It was now my mission to oppose the forces of darkness in this world; using the gifts I had been given.
I was unnaturally calm about this whole thing, usually when you wake up in a strange place missing large segments of your memory you would be upset. The only reason I was alright was because the one who gave me my mission offered to take that feeling away. Of course I accepted, I mean being upset over the situation won't really help me, so I might as well enjoy myself.
I was gifted powerful magic to combat evil, I make my hand light up with arcane energy to test it out and I smile as glowing runes appear on my hands. I had always loved magic that is one of the few things I remember.
I also remember that this was once a world of fiction to me, which made everything look surreal for a bit but I quickly got used to it. Actually I should learn what I look like so I'm not surprised by my reflection or some other reason.
Looking myself over I'm pretty average brown hair brown eyes wearing normal clothes running shoes, blue jeans, a grey shirt, and a green jacket.
I also have a backpack, I unzip it but all I see is darkness, that can't be right I was sure something cool would be inside.
I reach my arm in and it goes a lot deeper than it should.
So it's a magic bigger on the inside than it is on the outside backpack, awesome!
!!!!!
I shivered as a strange new sensation washed over me, it felt dark and wrong.
"The fuck was that?"
Oh I have magic senses now right.
I grab the backpack telling myself that I can look through it later as I go see what the large magic disturbance was.
I step out of what appears to be an abandoned warehouse to look up into the sky and see nothing but red.
Somebody placed a powerful barrier around the city; whoever did this is either a total badass or is channeling demonic energies from an outside source.
Heh I like how I have an innate understanding of magic now, so much esoteric knowledge just stored away in my brain meats, super helpful.
I decide to try to find some people but I don't get far as I'm soon attacked by an evil spirit ZAP
Only to find I have magical protections against possession, sweet.
I look over the small black blob that tried to take over my mind and I can tell it's a spirit used by lesser demons to control the minds of mortals without any magic resistance.
They're weak but come in huge numbers, and they're pretty hard to get rid of if a lot of them gather in one densely populated location.
That's when I hear the moaning, I turn to see a huge crowd of people all with black tendrils wriggling in their auras, and what's worse these are lot bigger than the little one that jumped me.
They're feeding on their host's life force; if they aren't removed all of these people will die!
Luckily for them they have a magic protector in their city now!
Since these things can only control the minds it's a type of possession, a kind of mind control then the spell I should use is…
"By the vapors of Valtorr, let thy mind be cleared!"
Smokey magic energy blasts from my hands and circles around the head of one of the affected people, it banishes the demon from his mind and for a few seconds he comes back into himself.
Then an inky black tendril reaches from one of the others and touches him infecting him once more.
"Well shit that didn't work, do I need a bigger spell?" Suddenly one of them lunges for me "Whoa!"
I run while thinking of what I should do next, can't hurt them they're victims, and I can't free them if they all just keep infecting each other again I'd have to get them all at once.
Can I do that, how powerful am I exactly?
I keep running from them but these guys are freaking persistent, that's when I feel somebody grab me and pull me into an ally just as I round a corner, whoever it is slaps a hand over my mouth and in a English accent tells me to be quite.
The hoard of possessed people rush past without noticing us, then the guy lets me go sighs and lights up a cigarette.
"Um thanks for that." He just takes another drag from his cigarette and starts walking off "Wait you're John Constantine right?"
"That depends, who's asking?"
"Oh well I am-"Wait who am I?
"Well I don't actually have a name but you can call me uh..." Can't say doctor that would be weird and strange is the name of a villain in this universe I think.
"Weird the acolyte, call me weird." Nailed it, best name I win.
"Also we should team up!" He raises an eyebrow at me and now I'm feeling self-conscious
"To you know beat whoever did this to the city, like a super hero team up thing cause we both have magic and can't be controlled by the you know so what do you say" Damnit I ramble when I'm nervous!
"Sorry kid I don't work with amateurs."
"Wha- ok you know what that's fine I am pretty new at this but I got this whole magical protector thing going on and I got this bag which is really cool and I assure you it will have something really cool and helpful inside just give me a minute."
I reach into the bag pretty much stuffing my entire upper body into the bag to find something useful.
Okay books, scrolls, big cauldron damnit c'mon gimme something good! Wait something shining!
Is that what I think it is why would that even be in here? Oh well its mine now!
"Check it out Constantine it's the-"Then I realized I was the only one there.
"You jerk I asked you to wait!" well I can find him no problem now so I'm going to take a second to equip myself, yay for high leveled gear on low level characters!
So after searching through the bag a bit I found the cloak of levitation and a number of other enchanted stuff including clothes, as a side note I am never changing clothes the normal way again, magic for the win!
Ha look at me rockin the sorcerer chic oh yeah, real glad I'm in DC and not marvel wearing the same thing as Dr.Strange all the time would be creepy.
Now to find that douche warlock!
When I track him down he's having a stare down with a large horned demon.
"Daggers of Denak!" The shining blades I conjured burned through the demon like a red hot ice pick stabbed into a block of butter killing it.
"Boom bitch, how's that for amateur!" When he turned to look at me he did not seem amused
"You know I wasn't quite done speaking with him."
"Oh, sorry."
"But I'll admit it was rather impressive how easily you killed that demon; I didn't recognize that spell you used."
"Oh it's magic for fighting the forces of darkness and stuff."
"Really the forces of darkness, so you're one of those types then."
"One of what types?"
"Not important, what is important is you just cost me my only lead-"
"Eye of Agamotto!"
"What?"
"You can't be mad at me for messing up your investigation because the eye will lead us to whoever caused this, it gives visions, lets you see people's souls, and emits an all revealing light it's pretty much my favorite magical artifact ever."
"Really, it reveals all to the holder including the state of another person's soul?"
"That's right."
"If what you say is true then that amulet is actually quite powerful, so why haven't I heard about this Agamotto before?"
"Magic secrets, my new catch phrase I'm not saying anything."
"I get it, not smart to let someone like me in on big secrets."
"Wait I didn't mean it like that."
"No, you know who I am right, my reputation nothing good comes from associating with me"
"That's well I don't think you're a bad guy, and I don't know the exact details of everything more like a summery, I mean you're always fucking over demons and shit without even using magic, and if fighting demons isn't good I don't know what is."
"And what about the angels I've fucked over, by your logic nothing could be more evil than that."
"Well yeah, I mean no it… look I just think you're a person and you make mistakes and you do bad stuff sometimes but you also do good stuff and help people, so I guess what I'm trying to say is… I'll tell you." Great now I feel like a jerk, selfishly saying things like we should team up when he doesn't even know anything about me.
I try to tell him but all that comes out is @%&#^^@%^&$^*%& which I'm pretty sure is not something a person can pronounce.
"Ah so I guess I can't tell you sorry, I mean I'm physically unable not that I changed my mind about you it's just-"
"I understand kid otherworldly patrons, was worth a shot."
"What was wor-"
"Never mind that, for now just lend me that amulet so I can fix this mess."
"What no we should work together to take down the bad guy… who is the bad guy this time exactly?"
"An old flame of mine actually, her name was Madeline and at one time she was just a girl that could see things other people couldn't, but she got a taste for power started messing around with things she shouldn't have."
He stared off into the distance as he continued speaking.
"She called me out here actually, said she needed help thought it might be a trap so I came prepared for a fight, wasn't quite ready for this though."
"But wait if you don't trust her why even come?"
"Usually she just sends a few demons my way, I take care of them and we kiss and make up afterword never really a huge thing but this…"
"Why, what is she going to do?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just hand over the amulet and find somewhere safe to hide until it's all over."
"But I can help, and I think it's important that I know what exactly is going on"
"Just drop it kid."
"Not until you give me an actual answer for what she plans to-"
"She plans to open a bloody portal to hell!"
"Wait seriously, that's dumb like really really dumb."
"I know!"
"She's not doing this just to kill you right?"
"Naw, killing me is probably just a little bonus to her; she wants to rule the world with an army of demons."
"No way she could control all those demons, they would kill everyone her included."
"Most likely."
"Then we really have to stop this idiot."
"I know, and I'm willing to do anything to stop her."
"Yeah so am I, that's why I said we should team up!"
"I'm not just talking about self-sacrifice here boy, if we're going to stop this then she-"
"Needs to die yeah I know let's get to it already!"
John just stared at me a bit.
"Huh, I've gotta say kid that surprised me you don't really seem the type."
"No I'm totally fine with it, I mean she's most likely going to get killed by demons, it sucks that it came to this but that's no reason to let her drag the whole world down to hell with her."
"You're all right kid."
"Really thanks!" He thinks I'm all right! Wait play it cool don't be weird about it. "You are also alright, yay for team alright!" Nailed it!
"Okay just calm down kid, you'll let them know where we are… but then again maybe that could be a good thing." Yay I just inspired a save the world plan, go me!
"You sure you're ready for this?"
"Yeah, I can totally do this."
"You can teleport to safety if things get too hot right?"
"Yep, I'll lead them away only fight if I have to and teleport away if things start to get messy."
"Alright then just one final touch."
He mumbled something and waved his hand, and then I looked like him.
"Cool, illusion magic!"
"It's just a simple glamour; if anyone looks close enough they'll see through it."
"Still cool though."
When he was far enough away I cast the spell to get their attention.
By the Seraphim's command,
By Munnopor's mystic maze,
Let their struggle dim its fury!
Unto me now draw their gaze!!
A pillar of light raises towards the sky marking my location for everyone in the city.
It's not long until I see dozens of demons flying to my position, and I ready another spell.
The dark forces gather,
Then die with the dawn.
By the light deep within me --
Begone!
The demons closest to me vanish into nothing, banished back to the hell they crawled out from.
I am so badass right now!
After my previous display the remaining demons are a bit hesitant to come closer, but a burning portal opens in the sky and through it comes a huge demon.
It's about 40ft tall, has way to many spikes, its arms are as long as it's entire body, it has two long horns protruding from where its eyes should be, and its only eye is located in its mouth surrounded by sharp teeth.
I have no idea how it functions with a body that messed up, but it's powerful much more so then the small fry I've seen up to this point.
"Fighting head on like a man, how unlike you John."
Standing on the large demons shoulder is a woman with curly blond hair, wearing what appears to be a chain and leather bikini. That cannot be comfortable.
"Meet Tiemoch my new partner in crime, you see we've tied our fates together."
She just stands there for a second looking at me "What you have nothing to say, well that's a first!"
Crap should I say something, I need to bide for time but what if she figures me out.
"Sorry love I was just stuck on how you managed to tie your fate to a demon, how did you manage to pull that one off?" The glamour working great I even sound like him, I just hope my acting skills are good enough.
"Oh you know I had a little help from an outside group, all I had to do was provide them a few of my little parasites you know how I've always been good at summoning those little horrors."
"So someone gave you the power to open a gate to hell in exchange for some minor demons that can only control mundies and you don't find that suspicious?"
"Does it really even matter, I'll be ruling this world soon enough so what does it matter if they have a way to control the blind idiots of the world?"
"You can't open a portal to hell, all that will happen is-"
"I know exactly what will happen, I'll use my dear Tiemoch's power to control them and then the world will be mine for the taking HAHAHAHAHA!"
Oh god she's even doing an evil laugh!
"But before my grand ascension I wanted to settle the score with you John, and since I'm feeling generous I'll give you a five minute head start startinnnnnnng NOW!"
I launch myself into the air flying away from them as fast as I can.
"Oh shit that's a new trick, change of plans boys the five minute head start is now five seconds so let's go get that son of a bitch HAHAHAHAHA!"
With Constantine
"Damn this thing is useful." John said as the light from the amulet kept the magical darkness from enveloping him. "I wonder if I can convince the kid to part with it."
When he finally discovered the altar where the portal would open he found that it had layer upon layer of protection both magical and mundane placed upon it.
"Shit, of course it couldn't be that easy, hope the kid can keep them busy long enough for me to get past all of this."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back with weird
He was dodging the large but thankfully slow claw swipes of Tiemoch, while striking down the lesser demons that were swarming around like flies.
"I call upon the seven rings of Raggadorr!"
Seven rings of brilliant blue light started to circle around him deflecting the attacks of the smaller demons.
"You stupid, useless, lesser demons!" Madeline was screaming obscenities as she watched the fight from the giant demons shoulder.
"I guess it's true if you want something done right you have to do it yourself."
She opened two large portals one in front of Tiemoch's eye mouth and another larger one over the area weird was fighting off the smaller demons. Then the massive eye started to emit a sinister red glow.
"Now you fools rush him all at once give him no time to escape!" The demons launched themselves at him from all angles giving him nowhere to escape what was coming next.
"Now Tiemoch annihilate him!"
A massive red beam shot through the portal Madeline had opened in front of Tiemoch's eye, and exited the other portal destroying all of the lesser demons and Weird along with them.
Or at least it would have if he hadn't realized what Madeline was planning.
By fire & smoke, let my mystic cloak
Levitate me hence -- instantly!
That teleportation spell brought him far from the deadly beam, so instead of killing him Madeline had just ordered the death of her entire army.
"I was hoping John would have provided more of a challenge, oh well time to reward myself with a hot bath and a pint of mint chip, and then I'll replace my useless soldiers with the best hell has to offer."
As she was about to open a portal home she was attacked from behind.
"I call upon the Shackles of Sheol!"
Chains of magenta light began to entrap Madeline, and because they shared the same fate Tiemoch's body was bound as if the spell had been cast on him.
But Weird wasn't done yet "I summon the Sapphire Bands of Storaan!" Madeline tried to cast a spell but one of the bands had covered her mouth.
"Come Chains of Krakkan!" She and Tiemoch struggled as they were bound with even more magic.
"Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon imprison them in a cage of frost for eternity!!!"
They were then quickly frozen in a large block of ice.
Weird fell to his knees gasping for breath, he did it he won. He had ensnared them in every binding spell he could, putting as much power into them as he could.
"No way they can escape from-" CRACK! "Sh-Shield of the Seraphim!"
He was only just able to cast his spell in time as a large chunk of ice struck his shield leaving cracks in the blazing white dome.
He didn't have any time to react as a large red hand shot through a portal shattering his shield and grabbing him.
It pulled him through holding him as a child might hold a toy, a fragile toy that would break if they applied to much pressure.
Weird was unable to move his arms or legs, and he was so exhausted even the simplest spell would be nearly impossible even if he wasn't being slowly crushed to death.
Tiemoch held him close to his shoulder near Madeline, only the thing on his shoulder didn't look like Madeline anymore.
It was a inhumanly thin its skin stretched across its bones, it had no hair to speak of, it's eyes were pitch black and its mouth was a jagged bear trap of teeth with a grotesquely long tongue that kept swishing back and forth like it was alive.
When it spoke its voice sounded pained as if its very existence was agony. "Look what you did to me Constantine, look what I had to resort to because of you!" She roared in his face burning his nose with the smell of sulfur.
This was how she became powerful enough to escape all those spells, she sold her soul to taint herself even further becoming something closer to a demon than a human.
"Wait you who, who the FUCK ARE YOU!" She had gotten close enough to see through the disguise that Constantine had conjured. "A glamour a FUCKING GLAMOUR!"
She grabbed Weirds face her overlong claws digging into his skin "Where is he!?" she screamed "Where the FUCK is CONSTANTINE!"
That's when the dome covering the city started to break apart, the pieces fading away to nothing
"No no no no no no no no no no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAGGHHH!
"You were just a diversion, while that bastard ruined my alter you you you THINK YOU"VE WON!?"
"I'll just make another altar, another ritual but in a city with twice the population of this one!"
"And since I can't use the life force I've gathered from the people of this city to open a gate, then I might as well use it to power a spell strong enough to wipe this shithole off the face of the planet!"
No, I can't let her… c'mon body move, speak you idiot, cast a fucking spell, do something anything!
"I may never be able to watch Constantine suffer like I wanted so destroying him like this will have to do, and besides I have I new little toy to torment Ha Ha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHHHHH TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO ALL THOSE POOR PEOPLE YOU COULDN'T SAVE!"
No...no...no…
"NO!"
"What, the, fuck?"
Tiemoch stared at the bloody stump where his hand used to be attached, as black blood gushed from the wound.
His former captive Weird was floating in the sky positively radiating magical power, glowing runes danced across his skin, his eyes were glowing with arcane energies staring straight threw the demon and witch before him.
"What… WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, KILL HIM YOU IDIOT KILL HIM!" she screamed even as her arm began to rot and fall away.
Tiemoch blasted demonic energy from his eye striking Weird at point blank range.
"HA NOT SO TOUGH NOW, YOU LITTLE-huh?"
As the smoke cleared they saw Weird floating there without a single scratch on him.
She had finally realized just how fucked they were. "RUN WE MUST ESCAPE!"
That's when Weird began to speak, his voice echoing across the entire city.
By the Seven Rings of Raggadorr!
By the power of dark and gloom!
Let the mystic mists of Munnopor
Send yon demons to their doom!
In the name of the all-seeing --
In the name of the all-knowing --
In the name of the all-freeing
Let the mists be ever growing!
A beautiful mist that sparkled with every color imaginable burst from Weird knocking the Demon and witch from the sky and destroying all the remaining demons, the stolen life flying back to the appropriate bodies.
With that taken care of Weird turned to the two evil beings below him, the sacred mists had burned them like fire scorching their skin black.
He raised a hand towards the demon
"O beam of purest light,
heightened by Aggamon's distant might,
smite this entity of evil
and remove his substance from my sight!"
The resulting blast completely erased the demon from this plane returning him to the fiery pits of the underworld.
The witch having lost all of her powers could only sob and beg for mercy.
"You have no need to fear me corrupted one."
She looked up at him with a glimmer of hope in her eyes
"I need not act, for you have already damned yourself."
Her eyes grew wide as she realized what he meant, by chaining her fate to a demon she had increased her powers tremendously but that also meant she must suffer the same torments he does, such as being banished to hell.
A flaming portal opened up around her, and she began sinking clawed hands and spiked chains pulling her down attempting to hasten the beginning of her eternal torment.
"NO YOU CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN YOU"RE SUPPOSED TO BE A HERO AREN'T YOU, HOW CAN YOU JUST BANISH ME TO HELL YOU MONSTER, MURDURER!"
"How exactly did I do this to you again? If I were you I would blame whoever tied your fate to a demon."
And with that final parting remark he turned he back on her and walked away.
"Ah..ah AGGGGHHHH DAMN YOU, DAMN YOU TO HELL YOU FUCKING BASTARD I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS EVEN IF I HAVE TO CRAWL MY WAY OUT OF HELL I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!" she screamed as the portal closed and her punishment began.
As his power faded his overexertion caught up with him and he began to stumble, only to be caught by John Constantine.
"Kid, hey kid are you okay stay with me kid stay with me…"
His voice sounded farther away as he slowly sank into the sweet embrace of oblivion.

"Wha- ok you know what that's fine I am pretty new at this but I got this whole magical protector thing going on and I got this bag which is really cool and I assure you it will have something really cool and helpful inside just give me a minute."
I reach into the bag pretty much stuffing my entire upper body into the bag to find something useful.
Okay books, scrolls, big cauldron damnit c'mon gimme something good! Wait something shining!
Is that what I think it is why would that even be in here? Oh well its mine now!

"You can't be mad at me for messing up your investigation because the eye will lead us to whoever caused this, it gives visions, lets you see people's souls, and emits an all revealing light it's pretty much my favorite magical artifact ever."
"Really, it reveals all to the holder including the state of another person's soul?"
"That's right."
"If what you say is true then that amulet is actually quite powerful, so why haven't I heard about this Agamotto before?"
"Magic secrets, my new catch phrase I'm not saying anything."
"I get it, not smart to let someone like me in on big secrets."
"Wait I didn't mean it like that."
"No, you know who I am right, my reputation nothing good comes from associating with me"
"That's well I don't think you're a bad guy, and I don't know the exact details of everything more like a summery, I mean you're always fucking over demons and shit without even using magic, and if fighting demons isn't good I don't know what is."
"And what about the angels I've fucked over, by your logic nothing could be more evil than that."
"Well yeah, I mean no it… look I just think you're a person and you make mistakes and you do bad stuff sometimes but you also do good stuff and help people, so I guess what I'm trying to say is… I'll tell you." Great now I feel like a jerk, selfishly saying things like we should team up when he doesn't even know anything about me.
I try to tell him but all that comes out is @%&#^^@%^&$^*%& which I'm pretty sure is not something a person can pronounce.
"Ah so I guess I can't tell you sorry, I mean I'm physically unable not that I changed my mind about you it's just-"
"I understand kid otherworldly patrons, was worth a shot."
"What was wor-"
"Never mind that, for now just lend me that amulet so I can fix this mess."
"What no we should work together to take down the bad guy… who is the bad guy this time exactly?"
"An old flame of mine actually, her name was Madeline and at one time she was just a girl that could see things other people couldn't, but she got a taste for power started messing around with things she shouldn't have."
He stared off into the distance as he continued speaking.
"She called me out here actually, said she needed help thought it might be a trap so I came prepared for a fight, wasn't quite ready for this though."
"But wait if you don't trust her why even come?"
"Usually she just sends a few demons my way, I take care of them and we kiss and make up afterword never really a huge thing but this…"
"Why, what is she going to do?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just hand over the amulet and find somewhere safe to hide until it's all over."
"But I can help, and I think it's important that I know what exactly is going on"
"Just drop it kid."
"Not until you give me an actual answer for what she plans to-"
"She plans to open a bloody portal to hell!"
"Wait seriously, that's dumb like really really dumb."
"I know!"
"She's not doing this just to kill you right?"
"Naw, killing me is probably just a little bonus to her; she wants to rule the world with an army of demons."
"No way she could control all those demons, they would kill everyone her included."
"Most likely."
"Then we really have to stop this idiot."
"I know, and I'm willing to do anything to stop her."
"Yeah so am I, that's why I said we should team up!"
"I'm not just talking about self-sacrifice here boy, if we're going to stop this then she-"
"Needs to die yeah I know let's get to it already!"
John just stared at me a bit.
"Huh, I've gotta say kid that surprised me you don't really seem the type."
"No I'm totally fine with it, I mean she's most likely going to get killed by demons, it sucks that it came to this but that's no reason to let her drag the whole world down to hell with her."
"You're all right kid."
"Really thanks!" He thinks I'm all right! Wait play it cool don't be weird about it. "You are also alright, yay for team alright!" Nailed it!
"Okay just calm down kid, you'll let them know where we are… but then again maybe that could be a good thing." Yay I just inspired a save the world plan, go me!
"You sure you're ready for this?"
"Yeah, I can totally do this."
"You can teleport to safety if things get too hot right?"
"Yep, I'll lead them away only fight if I have to and teleport away if things start to get messy."
"Alright then just one final touch."
He mumbled something and waved his hand, and then I looked like him.
"Cool, illusion magic!"
"It's just a simple glamour; if anyone looks close enough they'll see through it."
"Still cool though."
When he was far enough away I cast the spell to get their attention.
By the Seraphim's command,
By Munnopor's mystic maze,
Let their struggle dim its fury!
Unto me now draw their gaze!!
A pillar of light raises towards the sky marking my location for everyone in the city.
It's not long until I see dozens of demons flying to my position, and I ready another spell.
The dark forces gather,
Then die with the dawn.
By the light deep within me --
Begone!
The demons closest to me vanish into nothing, banished back to the hell they crawled out from.
I am so badass right now!
After my previous display the remaining demons are a bit hesitant to come closer, but a burning portal opens in the sky and through it comes a huge demon.
It's about 40ft tall, has way to many spikes, its arms are as long as it's entire body, it has two long horns protruding from where its eyes should be, and its only eye is located in its mouth surrounded by sharp teeth.
I have no idea how it functions with a body that messed up, but it's powerful much more so then the small fry I've seen up to this point.
"Fighting head on like a man, how unlike you John."
Standing on the large demons shoulder is a woman with curly blond hair, wearing what appears to be a chain and leather bikini. That cannot be comfortable.
"Meet Tiemoch my new partner in crime, you see we've tied our fates together."
She just stands there for a second looking at me "What you have nothing to say, well that's a first!"
Crap should I say something, I need to bide for time but what if she figures me out.
"Sorry love I was just stuck on how you managed to tie your fate to a demon, how did you manage to pull that one off?" The glamour working great I even sound like him, I just hope my acting skills are good enough.
"Oh you know I had a little help from an outside group, all I had to do was provide them a few of my little parasites you know how I've always been good at summoning those little horrors."
"So someone gave you the power to open a gate to hell in exchange for some minor demons that can only control mundies and you don't find that suspicious?"
"Does it really even matter, I'll be ruling this world soon enough so what does it matter if they have a way to control the blind idiots of the world?"
"You can't open a portal to hell, all that will happen is-"
"I know exactly what will happen, I'll use my dear Tiemoch's power to control them and then the world will be mine for the taking HAHAHAHAHA!"
Oh god she's even doing an evil laugh!
"But before my grand ascension I wanted to settle the score with you John, and since I'm feeling generous I'll give you a five minute head start startinnnnnnng NOW!"
I launch myself into the air flying away from them as fast as I can.
"Oh shit that's a new trick, change of plans boys the five minute head start is now five seconds so let's go get that son of a bitch HAHAHAHAHA!"
With Constantine
"Damn this thing is useful." John said as the light from the amulet kept the magical darkness from enveloping him. "I wonder if I can convince the kid to part with it."
When he finally discovered the altar where the portal would open he found that it had layer upon layer of protection both magical and mundane placed upon it.
"Shit, of course it couldn't be that easy, hope the kid can keep them busy long enough for me to get past all of this."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back with weird
He was dodging the large but thankfully slow claw swipes of Tiemoch, while striking down the lesser demons that were swarming around like flies.
"I call upon the seven rings of Raggadorr!"
Seven rings of brilliant blue light started to circle around him deflecting the attacks of the smaller demons.
"You stupid, useless, lesser demons!" Madeline was screaming obscenities as she watched the fight from the giant demons shoulder.
"I guess it's true if you want something done right you have to do it yourself."
She opened two large portals one in front of Tiemoch's eye mouth and another larger one over the area weird was fighting off the smaller demons. Then the massive eye started to emit a sinister red glow.
"Now you fools rush him all at once give him no time to escape!" The demons launched themselves at him from all angles giving him nowhere to escape what was coming next.
"Now Tiemoch annihilate him!"
A massive red beam shot through the portal Madeline had opened in front of Tiemoch's eye, and exited the other portal destroying all of the lesser demons and Weird along with them.
Or at least it would have if he hadn't realized what Madeline was planning.
By fire & smoke, let my mystic cloak
Levitate me hence -- instantly!
That teleportation spell brought him far from the deadly beam, so instead of killing him Madeline had just ordered the death of her entire army.
"I was hoping John would have provided more of a challenge, oh well time to reward myself with a hot bath and a pint of mint chip, and then I'll replace my useless soldiers with the best hell has to offer."
As she was about to open a portal home she was attacked from behind.
"I call upon the Shackles of Sheol!"
Chains of magenta light began to entrap Madeline, and because they shared the same fate Tiemoch's body was bound as if the spell had been cast on him.
But Weird wasn't done yet "I summon the Sapphire Bands of Storaan!" Madeline tried to cast a spell but one of the bands had covered her mouth.
"Come Chains of Krakkan!" She and Tiemoch struggled as they were bound with even more magic.
"Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon imprison them in a cage of frost for eternity!!!"
They were then quickly frozen in a large block of ice.
Weird fell to his knees gasping for breath, he did it he won. He had ensnared them in every binding spell he could, putting as much power into them as he could.
"No way they can escape from-" CRACK! "Sh-Shield of the Seraphim!"
He was only just able to cast his spell in time as a large chunk of ice struck his shield leaving cracks in the blazing white dome.
He didn't have any time to react as a large red hand shot through a portal shattering his shield and grabbing him.
It pulled him through holding him as a child might hold a toy, a fragile toy that would break if they applied to much pressure.
Weird was unable to move his arms or legs, and he was so exhausted even the simplest spell would be nearly impossible even if he wasn't being slowly crushed to death.
Tiemoch held him close to his shoulder near Madeline, only the thing on his shoulder didn't look like Madeline anymore.
It was a inhumanly thin its skin stretched across its bones, it had no hair to speak of, it's eyes were pitch black and its mouth was a jagged bear trap of teeth with a grotesquely long tongue that kept swishing back and forth like it was alive.
When it spoke its voice sounded pained as if its very existence was agony. "Look what you did to me Constantine, look what I had to resort to because of you!" She roared in his face burning his nose with the smell of sulfur.
This was how she became powerful enough to escape all those spells, she sold her soul to taint herself even further becoming something closer to a demon than a human.
"Wait you who, who the FUCK ARE YOU!" She had gotten close enough to see through the disguise that Constantine had conjured. "A glamour a FUCKING GLAMOUR!"
She grabbed Weirds face her overlong claws digging into his skin "Where is he!?" she screamed "Where the FUCK is CONSTANTINE!"
That's when the dome covering the city started to break apart, the pieces fading away to nothing
"No no no no no no no no no no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAGGHHH!
"You were just a diversion, while that bastard ruined my alter you you you THINK YOU"VE WON!?"
"I'll just make another altar, another ritual but in a city with twice the population of this one!"
"And since I can't use the life force I've gathered from the people of this city to open a gate, then I might as well use it to power a spell strong enough to wipe this shithole off the face of the planet!"
No, I can't let her… c'mon body move, speak you idiot, cast a fucking spell, do something anything!
"I may never be able to watch Constantine suffer like I wanted so destroying him like this will have to do, and besides I have I new little toy to torment Ha Ha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHHHHH TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO ALL THOSE POOR PEOPLE YOU COULDN'T SAVE!"
No...no...no…
"NO!"
"What, the, fuck?"
Tiemoch stared at the bloody stump where his hand used to be attached, as black blood gushed from the wound.
His former captive Weird was floating in the sky positively radiating magical power, glowing runes danced across his skin, his eyes were glowing with arcane energies staring straight threw the demon and witch before him.
"What… WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, KILL HIM YOU IDIOT KILL HIM!" she screamed even as her arm began to rot and fall away.
Tiemoch blasted demonic energy from his eye striking Weird at point blank range.
"HA NOT SO TOUGH NOW, YOU LITTLE-huh?"
As the smoke cleared they saw Weird floating there without a single scratch on him.
She had finally realized just how fucked they were. "RUN WE MUST ESCAPE!"
That's when Weird began to speak, his voice echoing across the entire city.
By the Seven Rings of Raggadorr!
By the power of dark and gloom!
Let the mystic mists of Munnopor
Send yon demons to their doom!
In the name of the all-seeing --
In the name of the all-knowing --
In the name of the all-freeing
Let the mists be ever growing!
A beautiful mist that sparkled with every color imaginable burst from Weird knocking the Demon and witch from the sky and destroying all the remaining demons, the stolen life flying back to the appropriate bodies.
With that taken care of Weird turned to the two evil beings below him, the sacred mists had burned them like fire scorching their skin black.
He raised a hand towards the demon
"O beam of purest light,
heightened by Aggamon's distant might,
smite this entity of evil
and remove his substance from my sight!"
The resulting blast completely erased the demon from this plane returning him to the fiery pits of the underworld.
The witch having lost all of her powers could only sob and beg for mercy.
"You have no need to fear me corrupted one."
She looked up at him with a glimmer of hope in her eyes
"I need not act, for you have already damned yourself."
Her eyes grew wide as she realized what he meant, by chaining her fate to a demon she had increased her powers tremendously but that also meant she must suffer the same torments he does, such as being banished to hell.
A flaming portal opened up around her, and she began sinking clawed hands and spiked chains pulling her down attempting to hasten the beginning of her eternal torment.
"NO YOU CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN YOU"RE SUPPOSED TO BE A HERO AREN'T YOU, HOW CAN YOU JUST BANISH ME TO HELL YOU MONSTER, MURDURER!"
"How exactly did I do this to you again? If I were you I would blame whoever tied your fate to a demon."
And with that final parting remark he turned he back on her and walked away.
"Ah..ah AGGGGHHHH DAMN YOU, DAMN YOU TO HELL YOU FUCKING BASTARD I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS EVEN IF I HAVE TO CRAWL MY WAY OUT OF HELL I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!" she screamed as the portal closed and her punishment began.
As his power faded his overexertion caught up with him and he began to stumble, only to be caught by John Constantine.
"Kid, hey kid are you okay stay with me kid stay with me…"
His voice sounded farther away as he slowly sank into the sweet embrace of oblivion.

Good start, but having it be tied to Young Justice would seem to mean that he's going to get tied to a group of teenagers just because he looks like one. Whereas it would have been a lot more interesting if he was sticking around with Constantine and the rest of the mystical group.

Problem with that is I don't really know a lot about them, I've seen the justice league dark movie and watched a youtube channel that summarized the comics and explained the characters but I'm not 100% sure I would be able to do the characters justice.
However I have watched young justice, and I heard they were making a season 3 so I'm kind of excited for it.
Also their magic guy was Aqualad and he just never really seemed like a magic guy.
Plus from what I know of Constantine it seems unlikely he would want Weird tagging along.
I think I'll make it so every once in a while he'll leave the team for a bit to help deal with a major magical problem.

Fair, I can understand not wanting to deal with a setting you're not familiar with. Hopefully there will be an actual reason for him to join though. I have seen very very few stories where inclusion in either the Teen Titans or the Young Justice League hasn't been completely ham fisted and contrived. Usually it amounts to "he looks young, rail road him!" which is actually really ageist.
So, why would he want to join, to the extent of not bringing up his greater age? Why would he want to be a hero as opposed to being a mage of independent wealth? It's already obvious why the League would accept him, since he has power and a recommendation from Constantine, but we've yet to hear anything about the protagonist's own goals and motivations which would allow the inevitable to seem reasonable.

He's actually 16, not just physically but mentally he's never been older than he is now.
Can you let me know what made you think he was older cause I might need to edit the story.
I messed up the beginning didn't I, that was the part I had the most trouble writing.
He's going to go more into it in the next chapter so I'll try to do better there.
Also does Constantine have a good relationship with the league?
Most of what I know about him comes from that comic book youtuber, and all that talked about was his solo adventures and his origins.
Actually I think the first time I ever saw him was in With this ring, and Zatara really hated him was that canon?

Nothing specific to your story, but rather endemic to this entire style of story. Most characters that join those groups are de-aged, because they are inserts. So unless specified otherwise, those that have read a lot of similar stories will likely make a similar assumption.
No idea. I read a story where he was on decent terms with them, and he's nominally a hero, that's the full extent of my knowledge.
