Author's notes: Takes place months after the movie ended. Ofuda is a piece of paper with the phrase "Evil Spirit Banishment" written on it. Uses throughout Asia but made known in Japan.
I don't own Constantine, I make no money out of this I do it because I like to stay up late and type away at my keyboard.

The night enveloped him as he walked down the street alone, yet again. His long jacket flew in the slight breeze for a moment as he made his way to his apartment. As he pushed open the door he felt a strange presence. He turned around and saw nothing, or so it seemed. He walked up the stairs and pulled out another pack of gum.

He entered his apartment and closed the door. He sat down and looked at his empty apartment. There was no solace for him, maybe redemption at some point in time. He went to the fridge and opened to look inside. He heard the door creek open. He reached in and pulled out a vial. He could feel the presence trying to enter. The markings on the door wouldn't allow such a thing. He stood up and saw it was a half breed demon standing there, trying to get in.

"Ever try knocking?"

"Constantine!"

"Yes, it's me, sorry I can't invite you in" and with that he pointed the vial at the half breed. A huge flame shot out, it was dragon's breathe and burned him instantly.

"Extra Crispy"

John put the vial on the table, walked over to his door. He looked at the pile of ash and kicked it a little before closing the door and locking it. Though he knew locks wouldn't do much he felt he had to do it.

He slipped into his bed and sleep soon claimed him. And almost every night he would have the same dream over and over again. He would dream of her, her brown hair, her green eyes, her smile, Angela. He would reach out to her only to have her disappear.

At Midnight's club, a willowy figure emerged. Dressed in black silk kimono, her long black hair fell past her waist. Her cold eyes would not look up. She waifed into the club. She stopped at the bouncer.

"Falling star"

The bouncer moved the velvet rope and she floated almost in. She walked past the half breeds and stopped in front of the door. She waited for a moment and it opened. She floated in and there he was sitting there.

"I must be seeing a ghost" Midnight said as he took a drag from her cigarette

"You are" she answered

"Really? Yet I can see you"

"You are the witch doctor"

"And you are or was the demon hunter"

"I still am"

"There is something different about you"

"I need your help"

"You need my help? How can this be?"

"I need to find the Spear of Destiny, the Holy Lance, whatever you call it, I need to find it, NOW"

"Well I don't have it"

"But you know someone who does"

"You give him too much credit. He doesn't have it either. He's a bit different from the last time you saw him"

"I doubt it, was he saved by god?"

"Not exactly god"

"Midnight I'm not the same person either"

"I can tell that, there's something different about you. I don't remember you wearing amulets or charms before"

"I didn't have half the world trying to find me"

"You're always running, except this time you're running away from something"

"I never back down from a challenge. I'm running towards something"

"I thought you learned from the last time"

"I have, which is why I need the Spear"

The morning rays of dawn entered John's barren apartment. He didn't move. He heard feathers outside his window and looked up, and it was gone. He rubbed his eyes and looked at his clock. He set it back down and leaned back into his warm bed. He blinked for a second before a body fell on top of him, straddling him and pushing him back down. The women chanted something, his body froze as she pushed back her long black hair.

"Funny seeing you again" John said looking up at her

She said nothing, but punched him in the face hard

"Seems like we've been in this position before"

She punched him harder in the face, and then grabbed him by his hair and pulled it back hard.

"Don't make me kill you, even though I would enjoy that more"

"Are you sure? You seemed to enjoy other things more"

She punched him again in the nose this time drawing blood

"I need to find the Spear of Destiny, I heard you acquired it"

"You shouldn't believe everything you hear"

She held his head and closed her eyes, and entered his mind.

"Stop it!" John yelled out

"Where's the damn Spear?"

She entered his thoughts, his dreams his emotions, he saw Angela's face over and over again. Who was this? She went in deeper, saw his many journeys into hell and back. How he risked everything to find Isabelle and make everything right. How he had cheated the devil and flipped the birdie to him as well. And then she saw it, the spear, how he had given it to her.

"Get out of my head!" John yelled out

But before she could break the connection, John entered her mind for a moment. He saw the image of a boy, a young boy, sickly and calling out. She got up off him and walked away. She floated past this kitchen, and then picked up the vial of dragon's breath off his table. She looked at the door, and it opened slowly. She reached out and touched the carvings on the door.

"Amateur. You play with things you don't understand"

As she floated out the door, the force holding John down disappeared and he sat up on his bed. He looked at his empty doorway and fell back onto the back.

"Women!"

Angela was driving in her car when she felt something again. She had been getting more and more feelings and inklings since her encounter with John. Since she accepted who she was. She stopped the car and started walking down the alleyway. She felt something was wrong. She pulled out her piece and walked slowly. She felt a cold chill come over her, and she walked down another way. She saw a man mugging a women. He held her at gunpoint and began roughing her up.

"Scream and I'll kill your baby" the man pointed the gun at her stomach

"FREEZE!" Angela yelled out

The man looked over at Angela and back at the girl. He seemed confused for a second and then Angela heard a voice. She looked behind her and there was a half breed demon whispering to the man what to do. His eyes glowed red and Angela looked back at the man, she didn't hesitate and she pulled the trigger. The bullet pierced through his skin, past his vena cava and left quickly as it came. The bullet embedded itself into the brick wall. The blood sprayed out like flower. He fell within a few moments. The woman and her baby were saved. Screaming in hysterics and but saved.

Angela turned back at the half breed who was not amused. He was surprised that she could see him. Fear came over her face as she saw his true face. She knew her gun was useless at this point. The half breed approached her slowly, he was pissed to say the least.

Suddenly something flew through the air. It landed on the half breed. An Ofuda. Angela looked up to see where it came from. She saw the silhouette of a female standing on top of the buildings. She dropped down quietly and landed next to Angela. She stood up slowly, her creamy white thighs exposed she stood up and her black silk kimono straightened itself out. She floated towards the half breed. She spoke in a language unknown to Angela.

"Tell your friends to stay away" she spoke

"You can't stop us. We will have our vengeance. You cannot stop us all"

"I sure as hell can. I will send you all back to hell, don't test me!"

She took out the vial of dragon's breath and released it. He turned into ashes immediately and the ofuda in the air and flew back to her. Her long black hair floated up in the breeze for a second before she turned to Angela.

"Who are you?" Angela asked

But before she could finish her sentence she felt something on her forehead. Her body froze and she looked up and saw the same ofuda on her, but this time it looked like different characters.

"You meddle in things you do not understand. But you cannot help it, it's your nature, you cannot help the feeling that overwhelms you, that it consumes you to do such stupid things. You have the Spear of Destiny. I need it. NOW"

Angela just looked at her, trying to figure a way out of this mess.

"Speak"

Angela felt her mouth move, but the rest of her remained frozen

"I don't have it"

"I know Constantine gave it to you. I need to know where it is"

"I can't tell you that. I'd have to kill you"

"You're new at this so I'll give you a clue. You're still an amateur. You're not ready to play with the grown ups yet. You're late in the game."

"Bitch!"

"I don't know why I bother" she reached and touched Angela's head and entered her mind.

She saw images in her mind, jumbled images, disorganized, where nothing made any sense. She went into deeper and filtered through. There were so many voices in her head. Voices calling out, screaming, whispering, almost unbearable. She pushed past all of them, and saw images of John holding her down in the water. And then she saw it, the Spear, John giving her the Spear, and more images.

"Hey! Let her go!" John called out holding his Holy shotgun

"JOHN!" Angela screamed out

"Damnit, I hate it when she uses those things" John said as he aimed his shotgun

Five more Ofudas came flying out towards John. He shot them all, but not bursting them all into flames doing so. He liked to show off. Once the smoke cleared she was gone, but Angela was still standing there, with the ofuda on her forehead still.

"John!"

"Nice to see you too" John removed it from her forehead and Angela's body was once hers again.

"Who the hell was that?"

"That's not a very catholic thing to say"

"Why is it whenever you're around something bad always happens to me"

"We all can't be gun toting, shoot first, ask questions later kind of person"

"Who was that John?"

"Never figured you for the jealous type"

"You never change"

Angela started walking, as John started following.

"Look, she and I, that was a long time ago."

"Apparently not long enough for her"

"Eternity wouldn't be long enough for her. Anyways she disappeared for a while and then just came back. She came here for the Spear"

"Yeah I know, she was trying to get it out of me"

"Did you tell her?"

"What did you think!"

"Did you let her into your mind?"

"I didn't let her do anything, if you didn't notice I was kind of, paralyzed or something, what was that? What is this!" Angela grabbed the ofuda from John's hands.

"It's an ofuda, Japanese, used for banishment of evil spirits usually. The characters on it mean different things. It's used during exorcisms and demon possessions"

"Then why did she use it on me?"

"She has the ability to alter them, she comes from a long line of demon hunters. Her family has fought half breeds since the beginning of time. But they won't work on normal humans. You and I, are another story"

"I don't like the sound of that, you and I" Angela begins to walk away again

"She won't stop until she gets the spear. I don't know why she wants it. It's kinda out of character for her"

"Don't worry I can handle it"

"No you can't, she is obviously way more stronger than you. She's a lot stronger than you think. I don't want you to get hurt"

"I'm a cop John, if you haven't forgotten"

"I haven't but she's got a whole family of demon hunters, and she's trained her entire life. I didn't ask to see what I see. You didn't ask to be psychic. If I remember correctly you tried to suppress it. She's known since her birth what she had to do. The both of us can't take her on, hell I'd have to ask Midnight to help as well. But don't underestimate her"

"So what did you do to piss her off so bad?"

"You don't want to know"

"Did you forget to call? Forget her birthday? Forget her name?"

"No, look she entered your mind, but did she find out where you hid the spear?"

"I don't know, it's not everyday that I have visitors in my head"

"You're a psychic, you would know if someone was invading your mind. You would also know where she was heading"

John hands her the ofuda. Angela takes it and tries to get a feeling or something.

"I can't tell for sure, there's too much. She's determined to get the spear. She knows where it is. She's going to find it!"

"Not if we get there first!"
