"You can speak in front of my father. I am sure he won't leak secrets." John said. Jameson who heard this felt grateful that his son trusted him but he got up.

"You guys can discuss yourselves. As an investigative reporter it would go against my ethics if I hide something from my readers. If I don't know something then I won't have to report." Jameson replied.

John was surprised by this behavior of his father. He had curiosity for everything but for the first time he deliberately avoided secret knowledge. Jameson bade goodbye to them and got out. John didn't stop him as he understood the dilemma of his father.

"So tell me why you feel the Earth being threatened?" John asked as he sipped his tea.

"One name.. Mephisto." Strange said.

"I'm listening." John said as he put the tea cup on the table.

"Few days ago, we had some demons from his dimension cross to ours. This event by itself wasn't something we needed to bother about. But one of the demons approached me. Saying that he wants to make a deal with me." Constantine replied.

"You have always been the target of demons. How come it's always you Constantine?" John asked Constantine.

"What can I say, my handsome features attract girls from all dimensions." Constantine said with his classic smile.

"Yeah and a magnet of problems." Mordo grumbled.

"Did Mephisto come to make the deal or one of his demons?" John asked.

"One of his demons. He asked me to bring a person on Earth to him." Constantine said.

"Oh. Who is this person?" John got curious and asked

"I don't know. The demon didn't reveal who he was searching for. In exchange Mephisto will allow me to be his right hand." Constantine said

Listening to this, John burst out laughing. He never expected that Mephisto would approach Constantine, a summon of his, to make a deal. That was the stupidest decision Mephisto could ever take in his life.

The other three were nor surprised to see John. John was on a very high level so a being like Mephisto didn't matter to him. But Mephisto was very powerful in his own dimension, which he called hell.

Though, Mephisto's hell wasn't actually a Hell. The dead had always been the department of Death. Mephisto had some dead souls in astral form inserted into some bodies and later proclaimed his territory as Hell.

Even though he belonged to the first iteration of the universe, and had a very long history of being a demon, he wasn't really that powerful outside his dimension and he had an eye for Earth always, as this would feed his ego and power and prove himself as the most powerful one among the last remaining demons.

Now, he had his eyes on this earth. Probably because he sensed many delicious souls here with all the new Pokemons and the new powerful Avengers. Like Black Winter, their earth too must have sparked the interest of his. And since Constantine's magic was on the dark side, his smell must have attracted the demon and he tried negotiating with him.

"That's enough to say you didn't accept the offer." John asked.

"I didn't. But I have a feeling he will come for me." Constantine said

"Alright. Accept his offer then. This will be a good way to get our hands into a different dimension." John said. The emergence of Mephisto gave him a brand new plan and he had already decided which world he would need to bring next.

And he couldn't wait to let the chips fall in the right places.

"You want me to accept his proposal?" Constantine asked, surprised.

"I told you that John would suggest the same thing." Stephen said as he too felt this was the best chance that they could destroy Mephisto once and for all.

"You guys are idiots. It's the damned self proclaimed Lord of Hell. You want me to strike a deal with him?" Constantine shouted.

"We are not saying to strike a pure deal. Just write the deal as you would be the right hand man of Lord of Hell. So after we kill him you can continue to be the right hand man of whoever sits on the throne." Stephen said.

"Oh.. This all hangs in the balance if you kill him." Constantine argued.

"No. This hangs on the balance that he can get the person who he wants to search for." John replied this time as he would not let Mephisto get his hands on any person that he had eyes for.

"Are you sure you can stop Mephisto?" Constantine asked.

"We will never know if we don't try. He had been evading our search for a long time. It is time to send the old man to his grave." John said.

"He has been a problem for us for such a long time. It's high time we put an end to it." Mordo said as he too was excited of taking down a dimensional being.
