John returned to his home only to see that Constantine was waiting for him at the door.
"What work does the right hand of the master of fake hell needs from me?" John joked when he saw Constantine.
"Ha ha ha.. Not funny at all. This time it wasn't a casual demon who approached me but Mephisto in the flesh." Constantine replied while burning away his cigarette. John was not at all surprised by this and said
"Tell me more." as he opened the door and they both stepped in.
"You were right. He did approach me and talked about the same deal. He even said that will grant me some of his powers. In exchange I bring him his person of interest." Constantine said.
"And I guess you would have to accept the deal in lieu of the name?" John asked.
"Yes. And I accepted." Constantine replied.
"Oh. Did you go through the deal?" John asked as that was his main concern. If the deal was with the name of Mephisto then they would have a problem.
"I did go through the deal as minutely as possible. I have managed to remove his name from the deal and only mentioned the throne and controller of his dimension." Constantine replied with confidence.
"Oh!! How did you manage to do that?" John asked.
"Because I said I will challenge him in a fight after all this is over. The deal will be invalid if I manage to defeat him." Constantine replied.
"You have got quite the guts to challenge him." John said as he was amused that Constantine was able to insert such a clause because he challenged a demon who was millions of years old.
"So the deal is done I presume?" John asked to which Constantine nodded his head.
"So who is this person of interest?" John now asked as he was curious of who Mephisto was looking for in this universe. He was sure Mephisto might have felt the presence of Phoenix Force in this universe but he still had the audacity to target his Earth.
"You will be surprised to know. At first I thought it would be Wanda. But no, he has interest in Ciri!!" Constantine replied.
"Ciri?" John too was surprised hearing that name as he never expected that Mephisto would be interested in her. But it all made sense to him when he got to know the name.
She was a person who could cross dimensions as she wished for. Open portals on whims and have immense power. This was the reason why the Wild Hunt in the games was so crazy for her that they went to war against the witchers and Kaer Mohen.
"How did he even know about her?" John asked as he had always been little protective of her. John never allowed her to show full power and kept her hidden.
"Probably when you and your team went to Earth 616. This must have triggered some of his alarms?" Constantine replied.
"But I made sure no energy ripples were created when we went for the vacation." John said.
"That is true but you do touch the Sanctum barriers put up as the defense of Earth when you travel, even when you use the Phoenix Force. He must have kept an eye on the ripples of the barrier and later when you returned looked into the people who travelled with you." Constantine said with hesitation as he felt that was the most logical explanation.
"Then why didn't he approach her?" John asked.
"I too asked the same question. He said he couldn't as Wanda was a nexus being and they were close friends. Any kind of interference would trigger the TVA." Constantine replied.
"Hmm.. That makes sense. Did you inform Strange?" John asked.
"No. I came straight here after the meeting. I got to say, he doesn't look scary at all." Constantine replied.
"Yeah sure!!! But will you say the same thing about Lucifer?" John asked.
"Uhh.. Lucifer is different." Constantine said.
"Yeah. Then get ready, because Lucifer is coming." John said as he wanted to bring him for a long time. He would be the prefect person to handle Mephisto.
"Damn.. That womaniser... I will have to get away from his eyes when he comes. What a pain in the a**."
"Deal with it. And Mephisto looks almost like Lucifer in their raw forms. I have managed to pull him to our multiverse. Since he never had any real love for his father, it was easier." John said.
"So now we will have to protect our own because one as**ole of a dimensional being just got greedy." Constantine said.
"Yeah, well one of the greatest sins known to humanity. Even demons can't escape it. At least we know now who he is searching for." John said as he got up. He needed to gather a team which was going against magic.
This wasn't a typical level Avenger mission. But someone who had power over a dimension and even he who had Phoenix Force wouldn't be of much help if he stepped in his territory.
