molly adams was raised by her single, out of his mind father, who praised god as if he were always walking right in front of him. literally.

gabriel adams was a complicated man who took his religion a little too seriously. he became a priest, one of the most well known ones (within a 50 mile radius at least), and yet had a child out of wedlock.

well, really, she was the reason he converted. when he was 18.

at the age of 18, both gabriel adams and janine spring weren't prepared to become parents. they were fresh out of highschool and ready to start their own lives.

at the age of 18, janine spring wasn't ready to die. but complications happened, and it seemed that on that day the universe really had it out for her.

on that day, gabriel adams lost the love of his life and gained a newborn daughter that looked exactly like her.

gabriel's parents were never overly religious, barley at that, but he seeked forgiveness, he wanted guidance.

it just got a little out of hand.

he hadn't only gotten himself into religious practices and became a priest, but the supernatural aspects of it that most others thought were too much to believe.

by the time he was only 29 and molly was a few months short of 11, he was prepared to sacrifice her to lucifer and his demons as a way to, and i quote, "pay off his sins."

let's just say that molly had a guardian angel.

or, in this case, a guardian demonologist.

john constantine had heard of the young girl preparing to be sacraficed as a part of a bargain. he heard of the father willing to sacrifice his own daughters soul and allow and demon to use her body as a vessel.

and it was out of pure luck that he had.

if he showed up a minute later, molly adams would've been history.

it wasn't something gabriel could be arrested for. the police would laugh in his face if john even tried to explain himself.

child protective services could be beat. they wouldn't take a child's word for the same ridiculous reason the police didn't accept that heaven, hell, demons, angels, and everything in between all existed.

john constantine was never good with children. it had been proven to himself as well as many others. he wasn't good at letting people close to him.

but molly adams, she wasn't like the needy liabilities he had always heard parents complaining about.

he didn't even believe she was nearing the age of 11 at first.

the first thing she asked him after he had introduced himself was, "like the emperor?"

it was an odd connection that nobody had made before. but, somehow, a barley out of elementary school girl could recall something her father had once told her about. a random fact from a random time in history.

that happened in 2014.

it wasn't planned what molly did, but her father didn't seem to care for her now that he couldn't use her as a ticket to heaven.

so, john constantine, the one man that probably shouldn't be trusted with the well being of a child, had somehow managed to take in and take care of a little girl.

and, to his surprise, molly was useful in many ways.

to start, she was a quick learner. it was unexplainable how she did it, but she had learned to read a spell book in latin in a week.
