The multiverse can be funny. One version of you could be born on an Earth doomed to become a second Apocolypse, while on another Earth you could never have existed. It's funny how one small change can create an entirely new reality.
"Mama?" I said groggily as I woke up in strange clothes, "Thank the gods you're awake!" Mama said as she hugged me, "Honey we're going to go see someone, John Constantine, he's mommy's frie...fuc...comra...bastard, he's a bastard. But he's a genius when it comes to magic. Maybe with his help, I can save you." I said, "Need my medicine." I said, "Medicine? Come here, honey." She said as she put her cheek on mine, "You don't have a fever. We can take you to a doctor for a checkup soon. No, I'll take you to someone better." She said.
Mama did a locator spell to find John, luckily he was close, he was in downtown Coast City. We teleported there and my nose began to bleed, "Oh honey. Tilt your head back." Mama said as she cleaned up the blood, "How do you feel?" she asked, "Dizzy." I said as I held her hand, "Don't worry Mama will help." she said.
Zatanna POV
"Emoc htrof rellorts." I said as a stroller appeared, "There we go. Now let's get going. I wanna get to John before he does anything stupid." I said as I followed the needle leading to John.
"OH! Hello there love! I'm in a bit of a bind, mind giving this poor damned sinner a helping hand?" John said as four cops aimed their guns at him, "Tegrof eht tsal ruoh dna ssip ffo!" I said as I compelled the officers to forget the past hour and leave, "God damn it, John!" I snapped as I looked back at him lighting a cigarette.

"Hsiugnitxe." I said coldly putting out the cigarette, "I thought you were gonna quit?" I retorted, "Oh don't lecture me Zatanna, and what's with the kid?" he said, "Wait the little bugger's not mine is he?!" he asked, "Papa?" (y/n) said making John sweat, "Yes...he's your son, you deadbeat And he's dying, John." I said, "Well we can't have that now can we?" John said as he put his cigarette behind his ear, "Ostende te, quod te affligit!" he said as he cast his spell, "You didn't say he had Mana Poisoning! Not to mention no magical affinity, so not only isn't he my crotch spawn, he's not yours either." he said coldly, "It's called adoption asshole. And since you love to play hardball, I'm calling in that favor you owe me." I said, "Oh, and remind me, love, what favor might I owe you?" he asked, "Barcelona ringing any bells or should I say balls?" I said, "Damn you. Fine but we'll have to go to the house." he said, "That's what I was hoping you'd say, oh and for once forget you're John Constantine, and don't screw this up. My son's life is at stake here." I said as we left.
We sat down and did research, John couldn't sit still, "Bloody hell this is boring!" John said as he poured himself a drink, "Why the hell are you reading about herbology? The cure for Mana poisoning won't be in there." he said, "Because John, (y/n) been saying he needs his medicine all day. I'm looking for some clue as to what medicine it could be." I said, "Well if what you told me was true then let's ask the future version of you." he said as he took a hair from me and (y/n), "Golem ex lapide et argilla formatur. Accipe imaginem illius cuius essentia oblatum est!" he said as he cast his spell and two golems formed, one of the version of me who sent (y/n) here, and one of (y/n) who was about six or seven years old. "You bastard!" The Golem and I said angrily as we slapped John, "So you're taking the easy way then? That's fine, I do possess all the memories of this version of you. The medicine John and I made only suppresses the symptoms, but it's not a cure or even an inoculation. You're smart and have far more resources than I did, you can figure this out. And John, if she can't you best be prepared to die again, cause you died for that boy once before and I know that you'll do it again you old bastard." it said as it wrote down the ingredients for (y/n) medicine, suddenly it's eyes glowed red and the golem shattered, "John?" I said, "That wasn't me, love." he said as (y/n)'s golem shattered as well.
