Chapter Text
Danny was stoked, he not only made a deal with John Constantine, someone who is notorious for being really hard to make one if he's not the one asking. He also got a favor out of it, one he knows what to use it for. It’s been a few days, and it was time to collect. Danny transformed into Phantom, then to his king form, and opened a portal straight to where John was (it was pretty easy to track a soul when you’ve held most of said soul before). John was in The House of Mystery, he looked straight and Danny with wide eyes and fear radiating off of him.
John stood up and bowed after getting over his shock (what other choice did he have, if he isn’t nice and hospital then the Ghost King could wipe out his whole Earth).
“Hello your majesty,” John said.
“I’ve come to collect for our deal.”
John paled at those words, “Ah… I see. What do I need to do?” John looked up at Phantom with fear in his eyes, waiting for what the Ghost King would say.
“What I need you to do is to destroy the Guys in White and abolish all anti ecto laws.”
“Why, may I ask?”
“The GiW is a government branch dedicated to the murder and unethical experimentation of ghosts along with invading and destroying the Infinite Realms.”
“Oh my God, why would those IDIOTS DO THAT. Destroying the realms means destroying our Earth and everything in existence.” John’s mind raced, how have they slipped int he cracks for so long? Why would they do this? And when did it become so serious the King of Ghost needed help to stop it?
“I see you have the same opinion of them as me. That’s good.” The king smiled and John saw it. “I’ll be back in 1 month to hopefully see this matter settled,” The spirit turned around then paused. He turned his head around and looked John straight in the eyes, “One month is enough time for you right, or will you need more?”
“One month is enough time,” John said solemnly. If it isn’t then i’ll make it, John thought to himself.
“Good, oh and thank you,” Danny opened a portal and stepped through. Soon as he was gone John went into action. He grabbed his phone and made a call to Batman.
“Meeting in the the tower. Now.” John hung up, grabbed his flask and coat, then opened a portal to the nearest Zeta-tube.
John went to the meeting room, Batman waiting for him.
“Why do you want a meeting?” Batman asked skeptically, like always.
“Because the ruler of practically everyone and everything gave me one month to get rid of a branch of government and abolish who knows how many laws!” John practically yelled back.
“I’ll get everyone.” Batman pulled out his com and called everyone who mattered for a meeting.
Fifteen minutes later everyone was in the meeting room.
“What this meeting about?” Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) asked impatiently.
“John,” Batman said, “Explain to everyone.”
John moved to the front of the room papers he had hastily prepared in his hands. He handed out a packet to each member, Green Lantern, Flash, Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Superman, and Martian Manhunter.
“We have a crisis on our hands, one that if we do not solve will mean the end of Earth or even this universe entirely. What you have in your hands are laws that relate to the mistreatment of ghosts and their un-ethical experimentation. The ghost king, ruler of all who have died and will die, a being of unfathomable power, has grown tired of ghost and ecto-beings mistreatment. The King gave me one month to get rid of the GiW, the government branch who does this experimentation, and the laws that allow for the mistreatment of all ghosts and ecto-beings.”
Batman flipped through the packet, studying the papers with an intensity most members have never seen before. Most of the other remembers looked in horror at John and the other at their respective papers.
Batman looked at John, “The King gave you one month,” Batman clarified.
“Yes.”
“Then we will start now,” Batman replied. He walked towards the front where John was, “We will start today, these actions are horrendous and need to be dealt with. It is unacceptable that this has happened below the radar for so long. We will start with contacting the president and any other who hold power. We will get rid of these laws and make it illegal to treat these, ecto-beings,” Batman looked at John to make sure he said it right and John nodded, “are never mistreated again.”
Everyone got to work, using their connections to speed up the process, it took 10 days for the laws to be abolished, and 5 more for the right laws were made to protect those the previous laws harmed. From there the JL tracked down every facility and demolished them, along with freeing ghosts who were trapped ,and John opening portals so they could go back to the infinite realms. Every “Scientist” at every facility was arrested. At the end of the allotted month time line the members involved in this mission gathered back in the watchtower’s meeting to see if they had gotten everyone who was involved in the experimentation and destroyed all the labs. They had, and the meeting ended. Just as everyone was about to leave a portal opened the portal was a swirling green and a figure came out of it. John, knowing who it was, bowed. The other members saw this and bowed too, even Batman, which was surprising to John.
“Hello again John, did you do what I asked?”
“Yes your majesty, all the laws are gone and all facilities destroyed. Laws were also put in place to protect those the old laws hurt.”
“Thank you John, I recognize all you’ve done for me and my subjects. I wish you a good life and afterlife,” The King then put his hand in his chest and pulled out a flip phone. “Call me if you need anything, and I do mean anything no matter the size or severity, even if you just need someone to talk to.” The Ghost King looked around at the JL members, “And thank you all for helping. I owe you all my gratitude.” The King then opened up a portal and John was left here shocked.
“What,” John muttered out while looking at the flip phone. Batman walked out to John and put his hand out.
“Give me the phone,” Batman said plainly.
“Like Bloody hell I would. The Ghost King gave it to me, I'm not gonna give it to you because you asked.” John then chanted a spell under his breath and teleported back to The House of Mystery.
