Chapter 60

.

The alien ambassador prepared his team for going to Hell for a recon mission. Sharon and Emily had told what they could of this world, but they needed more intel. Carpathia promised that Lucci and the other sorcerers could open the portals, provided they didn't take anyone out who didn't want to leave. How long he kept his word was anyone's guess, thus they needed all the intel, all the defectors, that they could get. Towards that end a team had been selected to go in. Lucifer and the sorcerer John Contantine had been taught how to open these portals. Sending two increased the chance that they could get back home if something happenned to one of them. Also on the team were Supergirl and her sister Alex, agent Coulson, his protege Daisy, their "friend"Grant Ward, Batman, his HARDAC duplicate, Tim Drake/Robin, and their universe's version of Jonah Hex. Hex had lived an interesting life, had experience even with this. And everyone on this team had expeience with dangerous missions, and/or the strength to protect their teammates. It was a dangerous mission, and noone seemed to know what would happen if they died in Hell, they needed the strongest to come. The ambassador thanked them for their service.

Ambassador: Antarctica thanks you for your service. My counterpart, president Odonnell, thinks he might actually be able to make peace with Carpathia. I have serious doubts about that, but we can use this opportunity to learn about their operation, to rescue our loved ones and other refugees. This is dangerous, even for people with your abilities and experience. Good luck.

This team said goodbye to their loved ones. Alex kissed her wife Kelly and their child. Alex and Kelly had adopted an alien child on their own world, now their child was an alien refugee twice. Kara said goodbye to her parents. Coulson and Daisy said goodbye to their team, who were their real family. Lucifer said goodbye to his beloved Chloe, and brother Amandel. Then Lucifer and Constantine opened the portal, and the team of ten entered Hell.
