[SHIELD Headquarters, Beneath Custume Barracks, Athlone]
Gemma was gone, Junior Dark Lord John was gone, and so were all the children and teenagers all about the world it looked like as he thumbed another cigarette into his mouth and then bringing the lighter out of his pocket. No one was objecting to him smoking at the moment; mostly since the whole bloomin' world seemed to be bleedin' ending right now as he gazed at the rather panicked people around the room, then at the television as well.
One minute he'd been having a beer with Brendan and Kit in the pub...and the next the world was filled with magic and evidently all the children had *puff* vanished. Vanished everywhere across the world, and all the wards over the place were going absolutely bleedin' crazy even now. Or at least it looked like all the children and teenagers had vanished, it was just after one AM and most people were in bed right now here in Ireland over the sea back home in Liverpool.
'Unless they had any bleedin' magical bloodline or trainin course in them' he reminded himself taking a puff and turning back to all the others who'd been hastily assembled in under an hour. Seemed either these Evil Alien Space Gods were invading in an unexpected way, or somebody else was – because whatever this spell was it was ridiculously strong. And everyone here at the table knew it, or were freaking out like he wanted to since Cheryl and rang him screamin' that Gemma had vanished after something woke herself up, and things needed to be done. Done right the fuck now even if they'd no bleedin' clue what was goin' on...
"Look we don't know fer sure wuts goin' on, even the freakin' Justice League don't know wuts goin on as I just rang Giovanni there five minutes ago..." and he was freaking out over his daughter going missing so he clearly did not know "...and we're near an hour inta this...whatever the bledin hell it is. We need to get hold of ever'one we bleedin can, summon anything we need ta, and we get all the kiddies back..."
Bredan surged through the door with the potted plant in his hands as heads turned towards John's Irish born hedge-wizard friend "John we couldn't get Nabu at all but...ah got Alec and he don't know wotz goin' really either but he's saying he's feelin' weaker like his powers been cut in twain. All the Green are feelin' that way as the new growth as he calls it is gone, but not gone. He's pretty sure that the childer' aint' dead or harmed yet, but nothin' more than that and de fact its all over the world"
John nodded biting down on the cigarette before taking it out of his mouth. Panicking wasn't helping, and they needed more...more everything, information, power, whatever it took to get Gemma and his slightly mental in the head apprentice back with all the other kiddies. And everyone here was looking to him for answers like he'd have some, so he best make use of it then.
"Looks liuk we're gettin' sumthin there from The Green, and others might know sumthin' more as well on the little ones and where they went. So we need to get'em like we wuz talkin' bout not more than two days ago. We get in everyone over here, and everyone Her Majesties Government can get over there and we find out. Fuck stayin' hidden...wuz good is if all the kiddies are gone..."

[Camelot House, Greater London]
Constable Alvin Howard thought this was all crazy as he banged loudly on the solidly built door before him, but then again all the children in the world have seemingly gone missing by magic so maybe crazy was what was needed.
His colleague Beth Davidson was doing the same on the window nearby; orders were to walk and get in contact the fellow inside the house by any means necessary and get them on the line to some senior in the Prime Minister's office. Easier said than done as the damned doors and windows were utterly unbreakable, and seemed to be telling him to just go away...
"Yes, what do you want..." a tall red-headed man demanded as the door suddenly jerked open and caused Alvin to stagger forward and land awkwardly on the fancy carpet on the floor of the large mansion "...Evil is afoot and I cannot waste time dealing with the likes of you when I must try find a means to fight it!"
Constable Howard pushed himself back up a little and thrust out the mobile phone towards the man "We know Mr. Blood, that's why we were sent here. There's a man on the phone here and we need you to come with us right this minute..."

"Look me son just went..."

"Captain why are we securing Newgrange of all feckin' places when my daughter is missing!"
"Stow it Private, now get into position. Orders from on high say this is our best chance of doing something so we follow orders. Now everyone secure this site and get into position..."

[Knightsbridge, Greater London]
"Sir can I ask...Are you Mister Swift?" Captain James Barksdale, 21 Special Air Service, asked of the pale-skinned man who'd answered the door of the large house they'd been sent to.
With firm orders to ask the questions needed even if it cost them their lives. Assuming he was actually in his London property and not within the United States. Luckily for him, or unluckily depending, it appeared he was home. The strange man gave them an odd look...
"Indeed I am...Officer. May I ask if this is anything to do with the current events taking place in the world?"
Captain Barksdale nodded calmly despite what he'd seen in the file for this...man...before him "Yes Sir, Her Majesty's Government is in desperate need of your help in resolving this crisis. You are on a list..."

[Lux Nightclub, Los Angeles]
Cheryl Humphries was stressed out, for many reasons, but mostly because the world had gone mad with children everywhere vanishing. And she was still somehow able to work, serving drinks to panicked and terrified people who'd decided the best way to deal with the nightmare was to get drunk and hope it just went away somehow. Somehow she made herself work to take her mind off it...maybe because she'd had no children, and her family were all adults now...
"Lux, Cheryl here, how can I help you?" she stated picking up the phone, put her hand over her other hear to shut out the noise of sobs, occasional wails, and everything else that was mixed in with loud demands for more drinks. The voice on the other end of the line was loud, stressed and demanding.
"Luv I need to talk to your Boss right now"
"I'm sorry but this is not the time Sir..." she began as this was hardly the time as she glanced over at the Boss dealing with dozens of stressed out people who'd been causing trouble.
"Luv dearie...I NEED to talk to your Boss ROIT NOW, and he'll wanna talk to me. Tell him John Constantine needs a word, and maybe need a bleedin' favour paid back..."

[Black Cells, Beneath the Tower of London]
She curled up away from the light as her cell door opened and angry gaolers once more came into make her suffer for her treason and sins as they called it...
This time was different though, a man in an expensive suit like she'd used to wear strode in wrinkling his nose in disgust at her before speaking "Prisoner 11B, Demon Summoner, I have been empowered by Her Majesty's Government to offer you amnesty for your crimes in exchange for services rendered. Assuming you survive you will be..."
