The Pretender: a Sara Lance / Batwoman fanfiction

Pt. 11 / Sara / Train of consequences

"Did she slay the dragon?"
- "Definitely looks that way. But that's not a big deal you know, we also tamed a dragon once..."

Kate's eyes were glued to Nyx who was now on the ground. The same way they were glued to my body last night. Batwoman is fucking hot! And she knows what she's doing down there, that's refreshing and... relieving. When someone reminds your body all the pleasures its capable of feeling and enjoying.

- "What do we do? Look, Constantine is crawling away..."
"He's our chance, let's get to him."
We climbed over some rocks, then sneaked around few others...
- "John... hey.. over here!" I didn't dare to shout too loud and could only hope he would hear us.

And he did. Once he was close enough, we pulled him behind a wall.
- "John, hey..."
"What happened!!?!?" Kate was impatient.

"Ugh... Sara... how lovely to see you..."
- "John, just stay still, you have burns all over."
"Had worse, love. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs."

"Constantine, focus!"
Kate was livid. Was it because of Nyx? Why does she care?
- "Kate.. hey... easy." I put hand on her shoulder to reasure her, "We'll go home soon."

"I wouldn't be so sure. Lucifer probably won't let us. And I've run out of power, every last ounce has been drained from my body..."
"Constantine..." Kate now growled.

"When you left, the Archangels attacked us, with the dragon. It all happened so fast, I couldn't pay attention to everything that was going on, I only saw flames and heard thunders, it was like a storm broke lose on the ground level. Bloody warfare all around, friggin' angels and demons, madness."

He coughed and pulled himself a bit higher so he could lean his back on the wall.
"More demons were coming in and they noticed me so I had to defend myself, eventually some lads from your team, Sara, came from the Waverider and fought along my side. Nyx was in the sky, I bet she was the one creating thunders and bolts flying above our heads. Ooooh it was amazing to watch, I tell you."

Although he was gasping for air after every few sentences, now he chuckled and had sparkles in his eyes: "They didn't stand a chance against her. You have come across the strongest Nephilim. Maybe even the strongest creature of the Underworld. Except the dragon. She almost didn't make it. He burnt part of her wing first, then tore both of them... bit her a few times, but she fucking took Archangel Michael's sword and cut off dragon's head However the blade broke and got stuck in her torso. She's not able to heal the divine wounds, I mean, she is, but not so fast."

- "John, calm down, breathe. Stop being in love with the demon and..."
"I'm not. I'm fascinated by Nyx." why is he winking at Kate??? She just blinked, shook her head and kept listening.

- "All right, to be honest I don't care about this supernatural stuff. We need to get out of here. John, can you manage to get us back to Gotham, to my ship?"
"Yeah, they have a portal here somewhere."
- "Do you know how to use it?"
"I'm a demonologist, love."
- "Is that a YES?"
"Bet on that."

"Guys, I, ummm..."
- "What? Kate...?"
"Look!"

The sky - is it really sky in Hell? - above the place where Lucifer, Nyx and few other demons were, suddenly turned black and... a being made of light was falling down, with his white wings flapping in the heavy, dirty air.
"That's Michael!" Constantine pulled himself over the little wall to be able to see.

Michael landed in front of Lucifer, they apparently argued, Michael was... I couldn't see him, only Nyx, who slowly stood up behind Lucifer's back. She tossed out the sword, fuck, I've never seen anything like that! Then she shoved Lucifer to the side and pressed the blade, or what was left of it, to Michael's neck.
