Everywhere, All at Once

[doctorfatejsa.livejournal.com]

Fate, finding mystic allies lost or fallen at every turn, reaches out his mind to ascertain the well-being of as many of his colleagues and compatriots as he can, as well as to advise the members of the Justice League and the Justice Society what's happened to date.

His mind touching the minds of his allies is like a rainfall of information and images: Shining Knight fallen, Zauriel fallen. The Wizard attacked. The Spectre out of control. Felix Faust being tortured. Blue Devil replaced with a spy.

"Who else?" He asks, reaching out his mind, searching to find what he's missed. The Ragman is missing. He can see that now. Boston Brand does not walk this plane. He searches for Jason Blood, and finds nothing. Nightmaster? Nothing.

"Where are they?"

She's grumbling outloud before she even knows it.

"Something this redundant."

She draws a deep breath in through her nose before refilling the shot glass again. She's not going to react like he did, not like he did. Gee, she's gaining new mantras a lot today.

Don't get him wrong, he doesn't want to do this but like he said before it's time for something shocking and stupid to keep the others off guard.

"Needs t'be done. An out of all of you I'm the one with the record to really piss him off." Putting spells on his dad tying him to a rotting cat, making sure he was bound to hell, demon blood and a million other small crimes the Spectre would love to punish.

Bet he's feeling all kinds of self rightous about this. Bet he's thinking See? This is how I felt when you did it to me. Asshole.

Well she's pissed, yes, but she's not going to treat him like he did her. Dammit!

Granted she is leaning against the bar with her arms crossed and glaring at him.

She's looking at her Uncle and back to Rose and Fate with a perplexed look.

"You aren't even beginning to suggest what I think you're suggesting are you?"

[doctorfatejsa.livejournal.com]

"He is," says Fate simply, taking off his helmet and laying a reassuring hand on Gemma's shoulder. He looks very, very tired.

"And to make it worse, I know how to get the Spear."

The look on his face says he'd rather not talk about the details right now.

"You're sodding stupid Uncle John!" She's scared and angry and worried all at the same time.

"That's it, I'm helping this time. None of this stay in the tower an be safe crap. You're all out risking your lives I'm not stayin on the sidelines." She's looking rather like her Uncle at the moment.

"Using Constantine as a lightning rod for the Spectre.."

The Stranger muses on this development quietly. "The timing will have to be quite precise, John Constantine. The Spectre's wrath is swift and terrible."

[doctorfatejsa.livejournal.com]

Hector nods.

"I can make arrangements for the Spear. As soon as that's being handled, The Strange, Tefe and I can make arrangements to free the Spectre."

He cricks his neck. He really doesn't like this idea.

"The rest of you, and all the help you can muster, need to take the fight to Wotan. John needs to be there when the Spectre is freed, and Wotan can't catch on to the Spear's presence until the very end."

Rose nods in agreement.

"This is it, then. Possibly the last mystic battle of this age."

[laughing-mage.livejournal.com]

"No, really? Think 'e might hurt me if he gets his mitts on me?" He rolls his eyes a little.

"I'm the Constantine, drawin' trouble's what I do." He looks over at Zee and Rose.

"You've been there, feel up t'takin' me back? An nows the time if you have any of those friends in capes that want t'play with the big boys."

[jla-goldenage.livejournal.com]

"Always, Jonathan," says Rose, smiling primly."

[doctorfatejsa.livejournal.com]

Hector ruffles his hair absently with his hand. He really doesn't like this plan.

"Most of the costumes have to be support. Even the most powerful won't last minutes in there. It's people like us who are properly prepared and warded."

He sneers a bit.

"And when it all comes down, leave Wotan to me."

[zatanna-z.livejournal.com]

Definately an uphappy Zee here and she closes her eyes tightly against a couple of backstabbing, betraying tears of worry. Doesn't help that just as she does so another bout of dizziness washes over her, making the scotch she just slammed get angry at her.

"You're feeling it too, then?" says Zard, for once, not snidely.

[zatanna-z.livejournal.com]

Of all of the people who could possibly relate to her at this moment, not only is it a surprise it's Zard, but it kinda doesn't help the nausea.

She takes a few slow deep breaths, swallowing a few times before nodding a little.

"Comes and goes."

[jla-villains.livejournal.com]

He nods, and keeps her voice low.

"There are many more powerful, but some are more attuned to the nature of magic itself. The rest will feel it, eventually. As will our enemies."

[zatanna-z.livejournal.com]

She takes a deep breath as the wave passes then shakes her head, her eyes on John.

"Idiots probably don't even know what they're doing."

Could be she's including John in that statement. It's hard to tell.

The Stranger places a hand on Zatanna's shoulder. "Remember, in the coming fight, you have gifts yet to be used."

[zatanna-z.livejournal.com]

She gives half a glance to the Stranger before looking away at nothing with a small nod.

"Not that I have clue one what they do, but things being the way they are they'll come in handy. I hope."
