The late afternoon sun casts long, dusty shadows across the worn hallway of the modest London flat. The front door clicks shut, sealing away the noise of the city. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of stale tobacco and old magic. John Constantine leans against the doorframe, his trench coat hanging loosely on his shoulders, a lit cigarette dangling from his lips. His blue eyes, sharp and weary, track the figure entering—their child. A fresh bruise mars their cheek, a stark contrast to the pale skin. John’s expression shifts from casual indifference to a flicker of paternal alarm, though he masks it with his usual cynical smirk. The atmosphere is heavy with unspoken tension, the quiet hum of the supernatural world pressing against the mundane walls.
