In Case
Of Something
Strange, Call
John Constantine
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here! A little idea I came up with awhile back and was reminded of it again nicely enough after watching a clip of Ol' John on Arrow. Set season 1 but the useless drama between Oliver and Tommy doesn't happen in the second episode that deals with Vertigo.
Everyone was pretty much in good spirits following the events of the second Vertigo scare. A scare caused by a greedy doctor at that while the good Count himself was still pretty much out of his mind thankfully enough. Things however would get a little worrisome following closing time when Oliver ended up falling to the ground. "OLIVER!" Yelled Tommy in alarm as he rushed him and once he got to him, found himself being flung back a good distance away.
"What the Hell!?" Got out a stunned Diggle as he made to move towards Oliver while Laurel rushed to her groaning boyfriend in concern.
Only for him to end up with the same result as Tommy much to his annoyance! "Okay, what the Hell is going on here!?" Demanded to know Laurel in alarm as this was just damned weird!
"I wish I knew." Muttered Digg in annoyance.
As this was just strange! Tommy decided to take his chances again, but this time grabbed a chair and brought it close to Oliver once he got over to him. And caused a bluish barrier to erupt around his best friend once the chair tried to get near him. "Oookay… I think we just hit the Twilight Zone or something." Muttered the dark haired man.
"I'm gonna call in someone I know, maybe she can help figure out something."
Unfortunately for Diggle, Tommy, and Laurel, Felicity was unable to do anything and had nearly almost fried anything electronical in the club. Or would have if Oliver wasn't paranoid enough to take measures to ensure that didn't happen. Both above and below. Things nearly got out of hand when Moira and Thea showed up and nearly got themselves hurt in their haste to get over to Oliver. "What on Earth is going on here?" Whimpered Moira as she didn't think Malcolm could be behind this!
But so help the bastard if he was! "We really have no idea, ma'am. Its about as strange for us as it is you." Replied Diggle and then had a sudden thought come to mind.
The look on his face was enough to clue the group in on the fact he seemed to have a realization about something. Prompting Thea to ask him about it. "I, I just remembered something is all. Oliver told me once that if anything strange ever happened to him, to make a call to someone he knows."
"He actually told you that?" Asked the girl in disbelief.
As it was a little unusual to hear him of all people thinking ahead like that! Diggle just nodded at her with a serious expression on his face while Felicity handed him Oliver's phone since it was still on the counter. The man quickly went through it and found the number he needed for a 'J. Constantine'. "Ah! Haven't heard from you in a dog's age mate!" Came a British sounding voice over the speaker after the call had connected.
Making those wonder how Oliver possibly knew a British guy! "This isn't Oliver Queen, this is actually his bodyguard."
"Oh, well, it must be serious then if you're callin' instead of him."
"It is, minutes ago he fell to the ground and we've been unable to touch him. Even getting thrown back because of it. This bluish barrier is keeping us from doing so. And I remembered him once telling me to call you if anything… Strange happened."
"I see, and I take it you've already tried the technical approach to see if sumthin' could be done from that angle?"
"Yeah, almost fried everything here in Verdant too."
"Oh ho, I've heard of the old son's little club! That's another reason I've been meanin' to come and see him! Alright mate, I'll be there to you and the old boy as soon I can."
"Thank you." Digg replied in relief before hanging up.
He then looked to the others. "Let's just hope he gets here quick."
"Agreed." Came the shared sentiment from the group.
As who knows what this thing might do to Oliver!
Author's Notes: Originally, I was gonna stick this in the Possibilities fic, but then I got to thinking in the shower and I've decided I'm gonna make this a 5 or more chaptered fic. R and R!
