The Hellblazer's Son- DC Comics Male Reader Insert

A matter of family

"This better be important, dad, or I swear to the Presence that you won't hear the end of it"

This claim earned a chuckle from the man who pulled you out of a breakthrough moment with Rachel just minutes ago. That man being, of course, your father

Constantine: I missed you too, Y/N

He began to walk through this inter-dimensional plane, searching for the right spot, with you following suit

Constantine: I wasn't interrupting anything important, was I?

You sighed in an attempt to calm yourself down. John Constantine was a prick, but he wouldn't just pull you out for no reason other than an actual crisis

Besides, it's not like he knows when is it okay to interrupt...or that he cares

You: Well, I was restoring my memory when all of the sudden this Garfield boy fell to the ritual of the inner beast and Rachel woke me up to solve it

This comment caught your father by surprise. Mainly because just a few days ago you were barely able to remember your own name

Constantine: Would you look at that. A knight in shining armor and everything

A sigh left your lips once again, this time to recall the fact that Rachel's heart was not yours to pursue once again

You: It's not like that anymore, dad

Constantine: Oh, right...

He stopped in front of a door and opened without a second thought, walking in

Constantine: Wait, who did this to the boy?

You entered after him, now being greeted with the neon-colored smoke, chatter, and traffic of a New York street in the daytime

You: I have some clues, but it literally just happened, I haven't been able to investigate

Constantine: Don't worry, we'll ask someone to help you while we deal with this

Following the man, you crossed the street into a less-populated area

You: And talking about which, what are we doing in New York?

Constantine: Zee called an emergency meeting. All hands on deck

Dwelling even deeper into the streets, less and less people could be seen

Constantine: Someone stole powers from another person

You: But ain't that a regular thing?

Constantine: Not when it leaves them completely unable to retrieve them, no

John led you to a place called the "Midnite Club", where the bouncer was waiting for you

He stopped you both and showed a tarot card, which morphed upon seeing it. Once you told him what you saw, the man let you in

You: That was...weird

Constantine: And you haven't seen the customers, sonny

When you entered the scene, it was clear what he meant. People were making out like no tomorrow with what was clearly a succubus, others were gambling with magic and even drinking some weird things

Somehow, it felt more at home than in many places you had visited lately. Still, the stench of depravity was too strong in this place

Walking away from the common area and into a secret door, John led you to the office of the man in charge of the place

And there he was the infamous man himself, Papa Midnite

Something was not right, though. He looked so beaten up, he even held a bag of ice to his head
