Chapter 139
.
Note: This version of John Constantine is from the short-lived series "Constantine." Leisha is a minor character from that show.
.
John Constantine had heard of the recent rescue mission from Hell. With the help of a vengeance demon they brought back Benjamin Linus, Rumplestiltzkin, this clearly had it's risk. And Magneto and Tyrone remained in Hell to fight the nazies. For those in Antarctica, they had lost some good warriors, and what exactly did they get in return? Constantine soon found out. Leisha confronted him in private.
.
Leisha: Hello John, remember me?
John: Yes. You were that gypsy witch, brought that evil to the small coal mining town.
Leisha: I did what I had to do to escape my abusive husband.
John: You mean killing him?
Leisha: Like I said, what I had to do. And you sent me to Hell for it. Kind of like that girl, Astra. You told everyone that was an excorcism gone wrong, but that was a lie, wasn't it?
John: Yes. I sold Astra's soul to Hell to bring her mother back from the dead.
Leisha: She became a villain because of you, but somehow your sense of "good" made you fight her.
John: I was a lot of things, but I never claimed to be a good person. I tried to make amends with Astra, it took awhile but she did forgive me.
Leisha: I don;t see myself being that forgiving.
John: You want to try, go ahead. But bear in mind my powers were greater than your once.
Leisha: True.
.
At this point Leisha pulled out a gun.
.
Leisha: Guess I'll have to rely on this.
John: You shoot me, pretty good idea where I'm going.
Leisha: Exactly where you belong.
John: Maybe. But then I won't be able to help rescue others. You want to help prevent others from being tortured like you were, you'll have to let me live.
Leisha: You make a valid point. Fine, you can live, for now. But when this is all over, we'll settle up then.
