Destiny Rewritten

Chapter 162

"What do you mean I can?" Nora asked.

"Magic is good for more than just turning pumpkins into coaches. A basic seance should be able to temporarily summon your father's spirit from hell so you can commune with him. The only problem is finding a host for his soul to reside in, since no offense mate, but Damien Darhk's soul in your body, even for a brief period, it's a terrifying thought." John said to Oliver.

"None taken." Oliver said.

"If we're not going to use Oliver, who will we use?" Nora asked.

"Oliver and I will bring this up to the remaining people on board the ship. In the meantime, you stay put." Constantine said.

"Thanks to this protection spell, it's not like I could leave." Nora said.

"Fair point." Constantine said, right as Jasmine began getting fussy.

"You talk to the others, I'm going to go see if I can calm her down." Oliver said and John nodded.

"Wait, you want to do what?" Rip asked after Constantine told him, Ronnie, Zari and Kuasa his plan.

"It's the only way to maybe get Nora off her path, which would not only cost Mallus a servant, but give us a very useful ally. The only problem is that the spell requires a vessel for the soul to inhabit." Constantine said.

"So, you want one of us to do it." Zari asked.

"I'm not gonna force you to do anything." Constantine said.

"I'll do it." Ronnie said before anyone could say anything else.

"Wait, Ronnie, are you sure?" Zari asked.

"Yeah, I am." Ronnie said.

"Excellent, let's get this seance started then." Constantine said.

"And you're sure this will work?" Oliver asked Constantine as Ronnie stood in the middle of the circle he'd prepared.

"Yes mate. Nora, you ready to speak to your father." Constantine said.

"This better work." Nora said and Constantine nodded.

"You ready Ronald?" Constantine asked.

"As I'll ever be." Ronnie said and Constantine nodded as he began chanting. The lights in the room began to flicker and Ronnie began twitch as the room shook until suddenly, it stopped.

"Well?" Constantine asked as Ronnie's head shot upwards.

"Where the hell am I?" Ronnie asked, but it wasn't his voice. It was a voice that still caused an intense surge of anger to shoot through Oliver's entire body and he was glad Jasmine was asleep in her crib right now. It was the voice of Damien Darhk.

"Dad?" Nora asked from her cell, causing Ronnie or Darhk to turn to face her.

"Nora doll, is that really you?" Darhk asked.

"It's me dad." Nora said.

"How am I here?" Darhk asked.

"We pulled you from hell to see if you could get your daughter off the path of following you there." Oliver said as Darhk turned to face him.

"Oliver Queen, I should've known you were the Green Arrow. You're the one who sent me to hell." Darhk said.

"I simply put an arrow in you. Your choices are what determined where you ended up after that." Oliver said.

"He's lying." Nora said.

"No Nora, he's right. I've had lots of time to think about my choices since I was sent to hell and at first, I blamed Oliver for my situation, but then I realized that I only had myself to blame. If I could take back my actions, I would." Darhk said.

"You can't undo your past, but you can stop your daughter from making the same mistakes. Stop her from following you to hell." Oliver said.

"He's right Nora. One of my biggest regrets since I died is how much of a terrible father I was to you. I spent so much time being obsessed with my foolish plans for world domination, I never bothered to actually be a good father to you." Darhk said.

"You were doing it for me." Nora said.

"Maybe, but Nora, you have to stray from my path. It's not too late for you. Help them end this threat for good. I destroyed our family's legacy with my plans. You can be the one who redeems the Darhk family name. The one who makes sure that the Darhks aren't just known as criminals. Make me proud Nora doll." Darhk said as the seance ended and Ronnie returned to normal.

"Well, did it work?" Ronnie asked as they all turned to Nora.

"Yeah, it did. My father was right, it's up to me to fix my family's legacy." Nora said.

"So you'll help us?" Oliver asked.

"Yes, I will." Nora said as she held out her hand.

Ronnie opened the cell and Oliver then shook Nora's hand.
