At the Metropolis health centre:

The team snuck their way into the latest victims room.

Constantine: This him ?

The man wore a traumatised expression, his eyes wide open with restraints on his arms and legs.

Constantine: Farther of the year. I'll need the gear now

Batman pulled the token out his utility belt and observed it " how does this work ?" he asked looking it over before handing it to John." It's basically a magical shortcut, it let's me access different planes of existence without doing 20 hours of awkward incantations. In this case i'll poke around this poor sods memories to see how his madness began...and more importantly what caused it " John placed the token on the mans head opening somewhat of a magical portal revealing an odd world within its window.

The door to the room was then opened by a nurse who was shocked to see them" what are you doing in here ? I'm calling security" she was about to run away when Boston possessed her body taking over her mind

Boston: I'll make sure the looky loos stay out of our hair

John: Z, give me a psychic shout if this body comes under attack. Wouldn't do to be trapped inside now 

Zatanna: Wouldn't do to go in alone and since i'm right here...

Constantine: Too dangerous you're out of practice love

Zatanna: look you wanted me alone, i'm here, i'm not waiting in the wings let's do this 

She gave her hand for him to hold, Constantine took a moment before groaning and taking it now with both of them entering the mind of the man in a golden flash they vanished.

Batman: mmm

Izuku: you think they'll be okay ?

...

Inside the mind:

Zatanna and Constantine floated in a black void filled with doors to the victims memories but Zatanna was lost as if in a trance.

Constantine: Zee you okay ?

His question broke her out the trance " i'm fine " she replied rubbing her aching head as Constantine flew to one memory of when the man was a kid.

Zatanna: I've never liked this sort of magic. I can feel darkness seeping inside me.How you stand it is beyond me 

She said hugging herself 

Constantine: It's all about control if you ever need a refresher

Zatanna: We've had this conversation I haven't changed my mind.
