Constantine/Teen Titans Crossover Vol. 1 : The Opening Engagements
Summery: Crazy happenings in Jump City folks. The Constantine I am using will be from the motion picture version. Lets say a year before the actual movie.
Robin dropped and rolled pushing off his shoulder, and landed in a half-crouch. What the hell are these things!
The Titans had responded to an alarm two hours earlier and had been fighting ever since. Now, wounded and surrounded they hadn't even made a dent in their opponents, which by all accounts looked human. Normal thugs just fell by the wayside to their impressive teamwork, but these... these were different.
"Cyborg, what are they!" Robin yelled, just blocking a kick and backing away.
"I don't know! I am registering a huge amount of Ectoplasmic activity, but I can't classify them!" He responded before he was tackled and sent into a wall.
The apparent leader of this gang spoke then, a strange guttural sound. "Vos teneo nusquam , letalis. Nos vadum epulum super vestri animus is valde nox noctis!"
Robin rasied and eyebrow, and looked at Raven. "What the hell was that?"
Raven's eyes widened slightly and said, "It's Latin. Translation is... 'You know nothing, Mortal. We shall feast upon your souls this very night.'"
Starfire growled and sent off a volley of energy blasts. "There will be no feasting tonight!"
Robin launched himself at the closest one and shot out an attack with his staff, ringing it into a swirling combo.
It had no effect and neither did the blasts of green energy that Star had sent their way. The Titans had no time left. Beast Boy had been knocked out of the fight earlier and was still out of it. They had made a ring around the fallen green warrior but the circle was slowly collapsing.
And when all seemed lost and bright light flashed above and a voice cried out, "Tergum everto! EGO iacio vos abhinc abyssus - vorago ut spawned vos!"
The gang looked up in unison, fear in their eyes. The voice spoke again, "Cover your eyes!"
The Titans did and a bright light swept the area, vaporizing the gang and cast the ashes to the wind. Robin and the others coughed and rubbed at their eyes.
"Sulfur. It does that to everyone the first time." The same voice said, as the figure climbed down the fire escape.
The Titans eyed the stranger warily. He had short black hair, dark eyes, and a angular face. A cigarette dangled from his mouth, wisps of smoke coming from the tip. His attire was equally dark, a black suit coat, cut a bit long, back pants, and black tie, set against a stark white shirt. His shoes were polished and black also.
Raven's eyes widened for the second time that night. But Robin spoke first. "Who are you?"
The man took a deep drag from his cigarette, and inhaled it. He grinned flashing white teeth. "Me, I'm Constantine, John Constantine."
A/N: I know, short chapter, but I have decided to just post it and see what happens. Positive reviews and there will be more. And sorry if it is clunky, this is my first foray into writing in... a year or more.
And BTW: Tergum everto! EGO iacio vos abhinc abyssus - vorago ut spawned vos! "Back demons! I shall send you back the hell-pit that spawned you!"
