Chapter Thirteen- Traps
*Pandora's Pov*
Fear, it's a powerful yet delicate subject; you can choose to fear everything and run or you can face everything and rise. You choose how you deal with certain matters, and if you pick incorrectly it'll eat you up inside and spit you out.
"We just need to capture Neron." We were currently in a team meeting, and obviously Ray didn't understand you can't just simply 'catch' a demon.
"And how do you bloody propose we do that squire?" John sarcasm was briefly let out. I've felt different lately, like the other side of me was finally starting to show; you know that side of you that gets buried under piles of rubbish. On one hand I felt like it was just temporary; being as I just got my powers but they felt dark.
I felt like the others could tell, they haven't said anything but I could feel the looks and gazes I'd get from some of the actions I took on missions. Other times however, I could be a sensible human being.
"We could try and set a trap for Neron, he's made it clear he wants to hurt me so I could be the bait?" I volunteered.
"Absolutely not!" Ray shouts.
"Everything has a cost, Raymond." I calmly told him.
"Constantine! Tell her this is non-sense!" Nate shouted at John.
"Pandora, why don't you think this over? I don't want you to get hurt." He explained.
"John, didn't you once tell me that no price is too great to save the innocent?" I slowly raised my voice, he gave me a look knowing that there was no stopping me.
"Look, Pandora's right. We should let her do this; we can put a stop to Neron before he tries to get another vessel." As Sara defends me, I was pulled into a vision.
"Pandora, run!" I heard Constantine scream towards another version of me. However this version of me had a baby belly.
"Johny! I'm not leaving you!" She screamed back as I saw Neron behind the warlock.
Neron had picked up John by the neck, with the endless screams from my other self, she poured the special oil John had gave her and then pulled out a lighter and chanted a spell. She held her hands up both on fire.
"Put him down, you heartless dickhead!" She screamed as I looked around for any clues that could give me any specifics as to where this would happen at. Then I saw a sign,Welcome to Heyworld!"
My other self was then thrown against a wall, wincing in pain she struggled to stand up as Neron grabbed onto John's face and then proceeding to suck the life out of him.
"Pandora? Love, what happened?" I heard John's voice bring me out of my vision.
I was so zoned out, that it had taken me a minute to answer while the other legends gave me confused looks.
"We were at Heyworld, you know Hank's crazy theme-park? I was pregnant and Neron had you in his hold, you were screaming for me to run, then I used that spell you taught me to catch my hands on fire so I could send him back but then he threw me back and..killed you." I explained my vision to the others.
"Bollocks." Was all that came from John's mouth, I wasn't sure if it was the crazy idea of him being a dad, or him dying.
"We can fix this Constantine, this won't be your destiny." Ray said in an attempt to comfort John.
"If it's my time Ray, it's my time." He said coldly as I shot him a sad look.
"No, I don't care what you say. We are trapping Neron tonight. I am not letting him take another person I love." I said firmly, to show it was not up for debate.
"Fine, since you're so persistent on doing this how do you think we are going to manage to trap a damn demon." Rory spat at giving attitude.
"I'll preform a summoning spell, you guys will be hiding while it'll just be Pandora and I. However if things go south we might need Nora to be on standby." Constantine explained as then we were off to go and gathers the materials needed.
Later that evening
"What is that?" Ray asked me referring to the circle I had just finished drawing onto the pavement.
"It's a summoning sigil, when John gets him in this he won't be able to get out. While he's in there John will preform another spell stunning him enough time for us to use a time courier to get into the containment facility." Ray almost looked impressed that I had known so much.
"Man, Constantine is really rubbing off on you, I guess it's good he's helping you with your abilities and your information in the dark arts." The way he said that was almost condescending but I took the win.
"Oi, I think it's time we summon this bastard finally aye" John says in a somewhat serious tone while telling them to leave.
"We're not leaving you guys John, you're our family now and this is our fight." The legends spoke simultaneously; giving me goosebumps.
"Okay, just beware of things this idiot might say." John added one more thing before starting the summoning.
"Attenrobendum eos, ad consiendrum, ad ligandum eos, potiter et solvendum, et ad, congregontum eos, 'coram me." The voice of John spoke loud and clearly to be sure the spell had worked.
Moments after, there was a puff of smoke appearing in the circle and revealed it to be Neron; once again in Ace's body.
"Ahh Pandora, finally came to your senses to join my side?" His nerve racking voice called to me.
"I rather be damned to hell for eternity than join your side." I spat back.
"Oh is that now?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Well, that's if you want to damn your little fetus to hell as well." Neron spoke, confused as to what he was talking about.
"What are you talking about? I'm not pregnant." I questioned.
"Not yet you're not, it's written that you and Johny over there will have children. At least right now it is." He smirked glaring at John then back at me.
"Enough chit-chat you bastard, we've got you this time." John was very passionate when he said this, it was almost fearful. He then chanted the spell, loudly getting in control of Neron lifting up his hand almost choking him out.
"Time! Courier! Now!" I heard Sara shout while someone opened the portal to the facility inside the circle and I ran up and shoved Neron through along with myself; the others following me.
