To deal with something dangerous, sometimes you have to do something even more dangerous.

Like, use the last amount of your energy to summon an otherworldly being! Only to feel like it was too much—that's what John Constantine was thinking right now.

He was in the middle of fighting this big guy with the Justice League. They asked him for help, he agreed because they made a deal with him, and now he was regretting it. He didn't think the magic would be this much!

It felt like he was about to pass out as he chanted the words. It felt different than normal—it took more of his energy than he was expecting.

So, he did end up passing out, but not before he felt a surge of warmth shooting through him and saw a flash of bright colors.

When he woke up, he was laid out on a bed in the medical station in the Justice League Headquarters, and floating beside the bed seemed to be a child.

Did he... did he summon who he thought he did? Oh, God, he felt like he needed a drink already.
