3rd POV

John Constantine. The name everyone calls when desperate.

Well, that's not true. Those who know of Jasper Drazhar would go to him first.

John had recently learned of the man and was on a personal quest to find him. When John heard people comparing him to Jasper, he knew he would have to see for himself.

That's why John Constantine, the legend, was currently standing outside an abandoned apartment building that had flickering lights across three floors, all flashing in sync.

John ran to the middle of the flashing lights, where he found a dark sphere of gas that seemed to be trying to escape. There was also a man. He was floating with his head leaded back and his eyes rolled into his head, as he quietly chanted a spell.

After only a few seconds, a portal to hell opened up below the demon- the gas bubble- and it sunk quickly inside.

The man slowly was lowered to the floor as the portal closed. He stumbled slightly so John ran up and stabilized him.
"You alright there, Love?"

"Just peachy." The mysterious man groaned out.

"That was a high ranking demon. Would you like to sit down?"

"No need. This is a normal Tuesday for me. Just give me a minute to catch my breath, Doll." John blushed slightly at the unexpected Brooklyn accent and pet name. Sure he calls everyone luv, but people don't usually call him any pet names.

John took a second to examine the man in his arms. The faint lights in the room illuminating his ash white hair and strong features. He had a subtle dusting of freckles across his nose and cheeks and there were numerous small scars across his skin. John determined that if the male stood at his full height he would slightly taller than John, only an inch or two but still slightly taller.
"How about we go grab a drink?" John suggested after the man got his bearings again.

"That sounds lovely. I'm Jasper Drazhar, and you are?"

"John Constantine."

The two walked out of the apartment building and to the nearest bar, John was no longer supporting Jasper but the two of them stayed as close as they could without actually touching.
"Why did you go in the apartment building?" Jasper suddenly asked.

"I saw the lights. And everyone was comparing us. I had to see what that was about, Love."

"Of course you did."



The two got closer every time they met. Over the next month, they were practically inseparable and they worked together to fight all the demons in their path. Jasper even tagged along when John went to help Oliver Queen with summoning a girl's soul back.

He stayed in the shadows, not allowing himself to be seen, but helped John while he was inside Sara's mind.

They grew even closer as time went on and by 2017, they had been together for a few years and moved in together.


That brings us to now, where John had just left to see Sara Lance about a demon and Jasper was tracking one, coincidentally the same one. Not that either knew that they were after the same demon.

John was leaned up against a crate when Sara closed the cargo door. He flicked his lighter open and closed, "It's been a long time, luv."

"John?"

"Now, let's see, the last time we met, I saved your soul. Now there's something you can do for me."

"Look, I'd love to help, but your timing is terrible."
