Chapter Text
“God,” Danny said while looking at his desk, “So much paperwork, and what! All for one soul!” He pushed his hand through his hair as he picked up a page and read it.
Dear Your Majesty,
I come to you hoping for you to hear my plea,
I own the soul of one John Constantine, but he has sold his soul many times and others stake claim. I believe the soul is rightfully mine and full ownership should be given to me and me only. I humbly ask you to consider my request because I bought the soul, so I should get it.
Your loyal subject,
Mammon
“Ughhhhh, so many complaints!” Danny yelled towards the ceiling. He had gotten at least 200 letters about this in the past week and a half; it was starting to get old and Danny knew he needed to do something soon or he would go insane from reading all these. So Danny did what he could and bought all the parts of John’s soul and teleported to him after grabbing the necessary paperwork.
Danny looked around after portalling, which was one of his many new skills after becoming king, and spotted John. Danny floated towards him and stopped a few feet away.

John’s face immediately paled as he heard that voice, a voice filled with raw power and such authority.
“Hello?” John said with pure terror as he looked at this thing, with a cape flowing almost to the floor, a look on its face of pure drive, a toxic green aura, and lazarus pit eyes. A being that screams be afraid to any and all who look at it. And that crown… a crown of radiation green and spikes in a circle floating above the creature's head. It had little bits of ice fall off of it and then melt before they reached the floor, a process repeated by the crown while its current king was wearing it. This was a being of power no doubt.

“Right… you expect me to believe you, a demon, can give me back my soul,” John said hesitantly.

(Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. The name’s Phantom, and I'm the ghost king, ruler of all in the infinite, so now I'll ask again, do we have a deal)
John froze at that name, fear creeping into his mind as he tried to think of a reason a being of this caliber would ever bargain with him, much less have a chat about returning his severely damaged soul.
“What would I have to do for you?”

John, seeing no way else to keep dragging this creature on and trying to figure out more, shook its hand, “We have a deal.” John would admit it probably wasn’t a good idea, but the idea of his entire soul back sounded great.
The creature smiled, pulled out an old-looking piece of parchment, and gave it to John. The moment John grabbed it, it disintegrated in his hands.
