"So it's decided. Constantine will be the bait." John said. Constantine's mood sulked a lot when this was decided at the end. He didn't like being in the cross hairs of a super dimensional being. But since all have decided on this, he couldn't go against. Especially against the decision of John.
All they needed now was to wait for Mephisto to send his minions or just be there to meet Constantine. Everybody was banking on the fact that he would try to lure Constantine. John even checked Earth if there was Johnny Blaze, the ghost rider.
Though there was Robbie Reyes (the ghost rider in Agents of SHIELD) due to John's interference, he never became a ghost rider. There was no Spirit of vengeance on their Earth. John had always kept an eye on it as Ghost rider was a major character in the marvel multiverse.
Later Stephen, Mordo and John decided to chalk out a rough plan of how to handle the whole problem of him and take over his dimension. John didn't give anyone any idea of the new world he was going to summon.
That would be his trump card when the fight breaks out in the future. After an hour of discussion, the three of them left. Constantine refused to go away if he wasn't provided some compensation, so John offered him a free supply of alcohol and cigarettes for a year.
After a lot of contemplation, he accepted that and left.
Both Jameson and Emma returned with their children. John gave away food to his babies to make them happy.
"What did your parents say?" John asked.
"At first they felt weird but they understood it later. They were happy and proud to have so many grandchildren." Emma said.
"We need to marry first to make your parents the official grandparents." John said in an all serious tone. Emma shuddered when John said that. Until this day, they never spoke of marriage. Though essentially they were close to immortals, her notion towards culture didn't change because of this.
Emma became silent as she didn't know how to reply. John looked at her and held her hand tightly.
Jameson who went inside came back after being freshened up. John didn't continue on the marriage topic and diverted speaking more on it. He needed to propose to Emma in order to marry her and this wasn't the right time to speak on this.
"So some kids saw your babies and started using the pokedex on them. They thought your children were Pokemon." Emma said to diffuse the awkward situation that suddenly popped up when Jameson arrived and they halting the topic of marriage.
"Really? hahahhaha..." John said as he found it amusing. By now Umbrella had rolled out all the possible electronics that are required for Pokemon. Pokedex, mining tools to get new stones from underground, the technology to teleport Pokemon over distant places and such other things.
Now on every kid's hands there would at least be a pokedex, if not a mobile.
"So what did you hear the answer from the pokedex?" John asked as he was curious of what the pokedex would reply to his babies.
"It was the voice of Fury saying -' That's no motherf**king Pokemon, that's an alien. So better start running motherf**ka.." Emma replied, trying to copy Fury.
John hearing this burst out laughing. He never expected that Fury would install such a setting on the pokedex. Umbrella and SHIELD had always been in a cooperative relationship.
John having babies of his own was never a secret but he didn't expect Fury to pull off such a prank and that too on the Pokedex on kids. He wondered how SHIELD allowed Fury to even add that part, but nonetheless it was hilarious. John was literally rolling on the floor thinking about how Fury managed to scar the children for life.
When Jameson heard this from Emma he too had a good laugh. He had only seen Fury once or twice but he could understand what kind of person he was. They all had a good laugh.
The rest of the day went as usual with Emma and John trying to come up with good names for the babies while playing with them. Jameson too joined in the naming part. They all had a good time.
But all good things have a time limit. Emma had a leave after a day as her ring called up for a situation. Jameson too went back to his home, leaving Val for the care of John' children while he too went to Disney to see how the next movie was coming up.
The next movie would probably be the last DC movie to come out. So he wanted to pay extra attention to it. John was pretty sure that Mephisto would take time to approach Constantine so he had enough time to do all his works in peace while also looking after his children.
