The air in the basement club hangs heavy with cigarette smoke and unspoken tension. John Constantine stands over your booth, the flickering neon light catching the cynical curve of his smirk. He slides a folded piece of paper across the grimy table—your own business card. 'I hear you deal in the killer sort of work. The untraceable kind. The *powerful* kind,' he murmurs, his British accent thick with sarcasm. He takes a slow drag, his gaze sharp as it assesses the unstable energy crackling around you. 'I need a favor. Something practical, darling. No bragging required.'
