The Hellblazer's Son- DC Comics Male Reader Insert

The L/N Case (Beta)

Y/N L/N

That was the name that you chose to use for many reasons, mainly to honor your mother, who you knew almost nothing about, and also to piss off your father, whom you knew too much about

When Dr. Fate prophesied that your destiny would be even greater than most, the stakes were raised so high, it was a nightmare. John Constantine took it personally to raise you by throwing in the toughest challenges possible, training you almost as harsh as a specialist in the army

Like that time he left you stranded in Hell for a week. You managed to escape and used your own charm and even befriended the one in charge of the place, who you currently know as "uncle Luci"

However, luck wouldn't always be on your side, and you knew that very well. While you had the Amazons and some magic users to help you, you preferred to do things on your own

That had been the case for the last eight years. But recently, you've grown to open up to those you considered family

Especially Zatanna and Boston (AKA Deadman), with who you were currently talking to in the House of Mystery, drinking some tea next to the fireplace and eating a few cookies

You: And that's when I said: "That's not the Necronomicon, it's her dairy, you wanker!"

Boston: And then what happened?

You: Let's just say the guy can't draw a thing now

After that, you shared a laugh with them because of the story you were telling. Sometimes, you like to save the best ones for them

Zatanna: Sounds like he could use some glasses too

Boston: Yeah, that was great!

Laughter kept going for a bit longer. Once it was over, the conversation continued

You: Ah, I missed this...

You grabbed a cookie and ate it. A smile mixed with a bit of nostalgia appeared on your face, but there was no denying the calm you were experiencing

Boston: You know you're welcome anytime, bud

He raised his cup with a smile of his own as a sign courtesy, something characteristic of him

Zatanna: And talking about which, how are the others? I've heard you've gotten closer to them since we last talked

The moment that was brought up, the entire ambient felt different, an insane amount of pressure and nervousness could be felt coursing through your body...again

Boston: Aye, becoming quite a lady-killer, huh?

The ghost's statement evoked a warm sensation all over your face, the familiar feeling of embarrassment

You: Well...I...I guess Rachel and I have spent some time together, but to exchange spells and whatnot

Boston: Suuure

You: R-Really! Yeah, she's nice and all, but that's a bonus, you know?

Now focused on trying to convince the others, you tried to remain calm, but we're startled anyway by a soft hand gently placed on your shoulder

It was Zatanna, who was giving you a sympathetic look and a warm smile

Zatanna: Y/N, it's alright

The magician's motherly approach brought a wave of calm and a welcomed sense of safety. Both Zatanna and Boston had kept your secrets, even without asking them
