(Before we start, Zatanna in the future is going to be referred to as Zatanna and high school version of her is called Zee)

"John, are you sure it's a good idea to bring Sabrina along? Or Robin, for that matter?" I asked, questioning his... less than ideal parenting ways. This is definitely not the brightest idea he's ever had. "Have you lost your mind?"

"It was bound to happen at some point, Luv," he argued with a chuckle. "Might I remind you that she's our baby girl? Our son? The Legends called us. They never do that. You know damn well how dangerous this can get."

"Relax, Luv. She's sixteen, she can live her own life. I've brought both of em' along on trips to Hell multiple times. They've met Lucifer by now. Besides, we both started fighting crime and kicking demon arse when we were thirteen, Hell, I started when I was twelve. But, the point is, Z, she's not doin' anythin' we didn't do at her age. Neither of them are," he responded, placing one of those cigarettes in his mouth. "Hell, I was dealing with Luci and putting out more money than I had on the table when I was fourteen. Give them a bit of air, a'right?" I kissed him quickly and muttered a quick spell. "Erif," I muttered, a small flame coming to life in my hand, lighting his cigarette. "Mom? Dad? Are you two going out again?"

"Yes. Want to join?"

"As long as I don't have to see Etrigan again, I'm down. He kind of creeps me out."

"Well, that's an old friend of your father's you're talkin' about there, Brina. Tread carefully, there. He's a great ally of your family."

"Great. Let's go," I told her. "Go grab your brother." Right when I said that, our son stepped through the door. "What's going on?" He asked. "Let's go help your Aunt Sara. And most likely save the world." I opened a portal and the four of us stepped inside.

"There is a fiend causing chaos in the city. We must go. Work with the boys, as well. All of them," Diana told us. "And yes, Zee, that means your boyfriend," Jess clarified.

"Aha... Let's get a few things straight, Jessica. Constantine and I are not an item. He is not my boyfriend. He is the furthest thing possible that a person can get to becoming my boyfriend behind Oliver. Not in a million years am I ever going to go out with him. Ever. Do you girls understand?"

"Correction: We ship it."

"We?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Babs, Karen, and I do, at least. My money's on you two ge-" Jess started before Kara cut her off.

"Oh, for fuck's sake," she said with an eye roll. "Look, I do not give two shits what you have against the guy. I'm sure if Diana didn't need everyone's help, she would not have asked for his help. Now shut your ass up and move. Get him over here."

"Fine," I growled. "Don't blame me if he doesn't want to come," I told her before opening a portal to John's place. His room, I'm guessing. "Constantine," I greeted. He jumped and almost choked on his cigarette he was holding in his mouth. Wait, what the... he smokes?!

"BLOODY HELL! Zee, you scared the living life out of me. Please, don't do that. What're ye' doin' in my room, anyway? Here to shag, are we?" He asked with that infuriating smirk, getting over the initial shock quickly.

"Trust me, Constantine, I would not ask you for help if it wasn't absolutely necessary. Hell, I didn't even want to come here in the first place. Jess and Kara made me. Diana said that there's someone causing a crap ton of trouble. Now, shut the hell up and get through that damn portal." He nodded his head, put the cigarette out, and followed me through. "Constantine," the rest of them greeted. I opened another portal to where we were supposed to go, and there was goddamn Zod and the others there.
