(very long, so to know that you have the full version the story always ends with a gif)

------->             Two years since the invasion of Darkseid, two years of Darkseid's rule, two years of the world living in this catastrophic world. Another year for Constantine to drink until he dies, another year for Damian leading the league of assassins by himself. Another year for Val to keep Constantine alive so the thing within her wouldn't let loose. 

Val, Adora I should say blossomed into something that could have rivalled Aphrodite's beauty, that could have the gods bowing before her beauty, with her natural medium-toned skin with her perfect curves which matched her athletic build, and her ebony hair that fell down onto her shoulders flawlessly which she cut recently with her blade. Val looked out her dusty window at the wasteland before her. She had been always staring at this view for the past two years. 

To think she would have a happy ending like in those fairytales she thought. 

She looked at her bottle of Vodka and sighed, Cheers to another shitty year everyone! Adora took a sip of the alcohol. She wasn't an alcoholic, but only drank some when she was pissed- unlike John who was always pissed, always, cause he drank constantly and Adora always had to stop him and return him to sober. Like a mother, she would tuck him on the dusty tan couch downstairs. Even Etrigan, which she grew a small friendship or good trust with him. She was told by John that he was once a noble warrior, that would always rhyme but lost his mojo in the war.

Adora grabbed the leather jacket that reached just above her waist and bounced among the roofs finding some food resources to keep her, well might as well say, kids alive. From roof to roof she scavaged through the wasteland for food. She knew all the best spots, there was a fruit tree that grew a somewhat efficient amount of fruit. It was a miracle on how the tree still grew in these conditions. Adora then stopped in her tracks at a shop, with shattered glass and it's sign fallen, half of it burned down to the ground. She eyed a pair of black boots.

Just because it's the end of the world, doesn't mean I can't look good Adora thought and jumped down silently and dashed across the road. She lifted her knee avoiding to step on sharp shards of glass and grabbed the pair of boots. 

Ok, no more bloody distractions she thought to herself, great now I'm sounding like John and his stupid drunk British accent, 

John, when he was really drunk, sounded as if Hagrid drank too many fire whiskeys at the three broomsticks. I'm not kidding one time he cupped Adora's cheeks one time and said.

'Harry yer a wizard', Not kidding he actually said that to Adora.

[][][][][][][][][]

Back at the pub John was with Etrigan moping in the corner with his bottles of drinks or just passed out.

"And that's the last Glen Luffa," said John holding up the two bottles.

"The Glens are full of whiskey," he then turned around smiling. "And I mean lots and lots of whiskey,"

He threw one on the ground and opened the other "Oooh, ah," he rejoiced drunkenly and drank the half-filled bottle straight with none left. He stopped shaking the bottle upside down dumbfounded wear the hell the rest of the liquid went. He just threw the bottle away and tilted his head and gave a genuine smile.

"The H's are gonna be a breeze after the G's," he shrugged "Too many bloody glens,"

"You hear that?" The man who hasn't shaved in two years said to his buddy Etrigan. "Still crying in your beer, eh?"

Etrigan had passed out for who knows how many bottles of beer. "Eat yer heart out!" John said and then picked up another bottle behind the counter "Hello Glen Magoogan," he opened the bottle and before his lips hit the brim the door opened with a mysterious hooded figure both twenty-year-old Raven -who's cheekbones really stood out- in a royal purple dress and black stockings and a leather jacket that fell below her waist and Gar who was five foot eleven build.

Raven just looked at Clark in had his black hoodie over his head.

"We need him," Clark said and Raven just looked in disgust.

A burp then came from John.

"We're doomed," Raven said and Gar gave an agreeing look.

"John Constantine," Clark said "I'm glad we found you,"

John gazed at the visitors that had walked in but somehow looked familiar in a way in his clogged up the brain of his. John just stared at them and jumped over the counter "Find yer own pub!" he exclaimed "We're drinking our way through this one. In fact, this whole street is our pub-wise, so sod off!" he pointed his finger out the door.

Clark emerged in front "John it's me," he then took off his hood. "Clark, you knew me as superman"

Clark looked completely different from the last time John saw him. His eyes were now a Kryptonite green instead of his ocean orbs. He had a beard instead of his cleanly shaved face and had vain on his face that was easily displayed to the human eye.

John just eyes at the mysterious man. He knew him somewhere, 

Hmm, he thought Clark, Clark, Kent, Clark Kent. Nope Nada. Superman, Superman, Soup, Soup! It's that fella, that bloody bloke. Soup!

He fell into Clark's arms and smothered Clark's face with his right hand touching it.

"Oh, it's you. I thought you snuffed it enough," John said he then leaned back and using the strength he punched Clark in the face sending him back.

"Oww!" John said holding his hand. "Oh Bloody hell!" He hung his hand lifeless. 

"Now you've done it," he said but before he could even react Raven kicked him to the counter leaving a loud thump.

A shuriken then came speeding before Raven, barely missing her face and stuck on the side of the wall leaving only the sound of it passing by.

[][][][][][][][][][]

Adora arrived with food, enough to last them for about two weeks or less. She heard a loud thump from downstairs and groaned, putting down the food in the wrapped in a blanket. Once she arrived down the stairs her instinct contacted her that someone else was there. 

You had to invite strangers over she thought to herself

She cautiously, ever so cautiously took out her shuriken and lined herself at the edge of the wall and instantly, perhaps like lightning, through the shuriken as if just brushing against the person's face, barely even missing it, and hit hard against the wall.

"Hey!" Said a familiar voice to Adora.

Adora knew that voice somehow or was it just an illusion? The voice was moderately the same but was slightly deeper than she remembered. She gasped in her brain.

Gar. 

"Who the hell-!" Gar lost words when he saw Adora emerge from the shadows of the archway.

"Val?" Raven barely even said, with tears in her eyes. Was it a ghost? Another illusion of her father's doing. No, it couldn't be.

"Gar... Raven?" Adora said easing. 

"Aqua!" Raven flew to her giving her a tight hug, then joined by Gar.

"I-, I can't believe it. I thought you were dead," Adora said overfilled with joy.

"What?! We thought you were dead. The crash, we had your own funeral!" Gar exclaimed.

"I know, I know, I-," Adora then looked to Clark, smiling a little. She constantly narrowed her eyes at him, sharp as knives. If looks could kill, Clark wouldn't even get the chance to blink again.

"You," she just said. "John told me everything,"

Gar and Raven than returned to Clark's side.

"Why are you here," Adora asked firmly, oozing out the authority she withheld. "You must really have the nerve to come here Clark,"

"We need your help, John, but since your here, we could definitely use yours," Clark said.

"Why? I can see it in your eyes, Clark. Your here to do it again. I honestly can't believe you," 

"Val, we still have another chance, another chance-,"

"A chance of what?" Adora interrupted him. "A chance for Darkseid to kill everyone this time? How did that turn out last time? Tell me, how many people did you save? Answer me," Adora said slightly raising her chin. Clark only kept silent, he didn't know what to say. She was right, he knew that. The lives that he put at cost.

"Adora, we still have another chance," Gar said.

"Because we were lucky enough that Darkseid didn't kill the rest of the remaining population?" Adora said.

"Val, Darkseid would have destroyed the universe sooner or later, Clark-," Raven was then cut off.

"Clark was clouded by his emotions. In war, we cannot afford those, he thought that he was weak, needed to prove himself once more that he is the man of steel," Adora inquired. "And look where it's gotten us,"

"Look. It was nice seeing you all, maybe in another life, we could all be together but, maybe, maybe not in this life," she looked down, tugging the end of her leather jacket.

"But Val," Raven pleaded.

"Look, if, if John joins, I join. I need him," she said.

Suddenly the windows with pieces of wood nailed covering it broke as large mechanic hands appeared from the windows. Adora instantly got into a fighting stance instantly taking out her holographic sword.

"Azarath Metrion-,!" Raven cast and her hair flew up and a strong purple aura surrounded her "Stop!" she said crying out loud and the demon hit her, making roll onto the floor. raven was having a fight with her dad, wanting out.

"Rachel!" Gar said turning into a grizzly bear and roaring. He attacked the demon that had hit her and swiped the demon's arm clean but the other demon hit him making him tumble next to Raven in his human form.

Clark got a chair by the leg and swung the chair at the demon but it broke.

What a bloody id10t Adora thought.

The demon whacked John to the wall and Adora, the only smart one in the room swung her sword cutting off the arm and sliding on her knees to avoid the second wave.  She quickly got up throwing a grenade at the demon giving it a blow.

"Quit playing around scout boy, smash boy!" John said.

"I can't," holding off a demon and it cut Clark's chest revealing a green superman symbol. It was kryptonite. 

So that's why he looks like that Adora thought

Adora forward rolled, "John do something!" she shouted

"Bloody useless soup," he reached out a card that lit up into yellow flames from his trench coat and threw it at Adora's demon blowing its head off. Adora immediately cut into pieces and went side by side with John. The other demon threw Clark into the counter and Adora swung her sword but it caught it and threw it away. Backing up Adora looked ta the counter and got a bottle dodged a swipe but the demon threw her on the counter next to Etrigan still sitting there.

"Etrigan!" she said at the depressed demon. She looked at her side and rolled to the side to avoid getting hit. The Parademon looked at Etrigan and before it could do anything Etrigan emotionless turned to him and blasted fire burning its head off. 

Another Parademon came in and smashed John behind the counter. He spotted one of his things with a symbol of three circles attached. 

"Lights out asshole," he smirked and it blasted a green smoke at the demon making it turn into stone. He got up and stood in front of it and said:

"Magic can be a bitch," 

Adora smirked at his comment and helped Clark up looking at the symbol on his chest.

"A gift from Darkseid?" Adora asked.

"Liquid kryptonite," he replied. "To keep to ever being a threat,"

"You kinda deserve it," Adora narrowed her eyes once more.

"So he let you live, to wander, demoralizing people everyone," John said walking over and behind him, Gar helping Raven 

"Impressive," Adora blurted.

"Stop it, please!" Rachel fell into Gar's arms weak.

"Babe, come on you can fight it!' Gar said

She eventually did, but Gar still had to support her.

"She hears that all the time, she's always in a lot of pain. Raven can't heal anymore with her powers," Gar explained to Adora looking worried.

Adora exchanged looks at John. Adora closed her eyes and telepathically talked to John, the bracelet could mind link them.

What do you think V? John said

As much as I hate to say it, I think we should join the fight Adora replied I need to be with Raven

What about it, what happens if I have to recast it again in the middle of a battle? John said

It's worth the risk for a friend, if worse comes to worst I'll use it, Adora replied

But-

As a plan B, if there is no other way, I'll use it Adora replied

K, I'm with you, I'm doing this for you V John said

Adora nodded and walked with John.

"Where are you guys going? We have-" Clark asked

"You guys have a plan to save the world right?" John said

"And this time, it definitely will Kent," Adora used his last name

"Yeah so bugger off Clarkie," John said pulling the collars of his coat up.

"I told you he was a waste of time," Raven said "All cowards are,"

"Hey! Don't talk to him like that!" Adora fires back leaving raven shocked.

"He is a coward! He-," she finally came into realisation. "You don't know? Do you?" 

Adora looked at John "What is she talking about?'

"I didn't lead us all into a massacre!" John defended himself "You did!" he pointed at Clark.

"Zatanna was a hero who fought bravely," Raven said, "But where were you when she needed you most?"

"Stop it, all of you," Adora commanded. 

Adora was very close to Constantine, she knew that he had a very hard upbringing. He was the cause of his family's death, had many breakups from past lover's, and one of his most loved ones committed suicide cause of him and he blamed himself for it. Yes, it was wrong for what he did but he told Adora before that when he saw Zatanna in that position he saw the past love that committed suicide because of him.

"Val-!" Gar was then cut off.

"Enough, do you want to save the world or not?" she said and everyone turned silent.

"John?" Adora asked more softly.

John sighed "Come on you lot, Etrigan?" he looked to his demon friend.

Etrigan sipped his large glass of beer. "Ugh, whatever,"

A true Cher, from clueless Adora, thought

[][][][][][][][]

Within the big ben tower that had fallen, they entered the top room where John led them to the room with simply a table and a cushioned chair with drinks on the table.

"Love what you done with the place," Raven commented.

"What better metaphor for merry old England today?" John gestured

"Drink, anyone?" he offered but they stood silent. "You can use good glasses," and Etrigan just walked by grabbing a bottle.

"Is there Vodka?" Adora asked and Gar and Raven raised their brows.

"Yeah," he passed her the bottle. "Don't worry yer allowed to drink at nineteen," 

Adora unscrewed the cap on the bottle and took a sip and looked at Clark. "I drink when I'm pissed," and they all turned their attention to Etrigan.

"Been all mopey ever since his friend died," John explained "Don't even rhyme anymore,"

"What's the point?" Etrigan said

"Look are you gonna help us or not?" Raven asked

"Saving your asses in the bar didn't count, eh?" John said "Offering whiskey in an unbroken glass?"

"Bloody ingrates, you are," John mumbled "So, it was crap from the start, but what went wrong eh? Tell me what happened,"

"Darkseid knew every part of our plan. Those things that attacked us were half doomsday, half parademon. Barry and Hal fought hard but were taken down. The rest of us didn't last much longer. Shazam was wounded but Cyborg helped him escape. Darkseid didn't kill everyone, some he had plans for," Clark explained.

"A few days later Darkseid sent more of those Paradooms to earth. We didn't have a chance," Raven said

"Does it hurt?" John asked about the thing on Clark's chest and Clark's expression said so. "Good," John said holding his cup.

"Even without powers," Raven leaned in front of John "Clark is still fighting, you couldn't be bothered to do it once,"

John had a flashback but Adora spoke:

"John?" Adora asked.

"Don't know why I ran," John said "Been up against all sorts of bastards and I always stood tall, But this time I just ran. Why did I do that?"

John got up from his chair and walked towards the opposite direction grabbing something "What do you want anyway? That magic you have left works just good as mine,"

"We need a locator spell," Clark said

"What for?" Adora asked.

"Gah," he asked grabbing a matchstick box. "Sit tight, I need some gear. Etrigan, continue loafing,"

[][][][][][][][]

Raven walked up to Etrigan, observing the medieval demon. "I thought there be fire," she said to him.

"Only when I fart," he replied.

"We need to reassess the situation," Clark listen into his watch with Louis "We need to gather our forces to a new location,"

Val walked up to John with a globe, she just tilted her head in confusion.

"Okay, who am I finding?" He asked

"Damian Wayne," Clark said.

[][][][]

Haha, Cliffhanger!

Just kidding! (scroll down)

Val froze, Damian she thought. She thought he was dead. She never thought she would see him again, especially under these circumstances. 

"Val?" Raven said worryingly. "Are you alright

"I-," Val looked down. She was absolutely speechless, lost for words.

"Are you bloody daft mate?" he said to Clark. "Am I missing something?" he said puzzled.

"They were," Gar gestured and Constantine made an oh face.

"But besides that, how does exactly the baby bat help?" John said.

"What do you care?" Raven said

"Cheers then," John said casting the spell. The globe had a yellow aura around it floating in mid-air. He has the toothpick against his lips while he said the spell. The toothpick flew to a point on the globe, in the Himalayan mountains, where the fortress of Ra al Ghul stood. 

Just like the southern border where we met when we were ten Val thought Stupid fate

"Okay, since I don't have a stocked magical pantry anymore. I have to conjure a portal from scratch big enough for all of us. Hmm, ten hours give or take?" John said "Oh and everyone has to stay while I'll do it,"

"Oh for F* sake. Azarath Metrion Zintos!" Raven casted

"Raven your too weak-," Gar said but before he could even finish she transported everyone to the fortress. 

It was nighttime then, in the middle of the courtyard. Gar had already rushed to Raven's side and assassins with katanas surrounded them already. AT the front Lady Shiva emerged saying:

"Infidels have breached our sanctuary. Slay them!" she commanded and they did. 

Adora already attacked an assassin, Gar helped Raven protecting her. Constantine blasted his powers next to Etrigan who was just sitting there drinking.

"Are you happy now! Assassins!" John turned to Etrigan but then got attacked.

"Some challenge," Etrigan sarcastically said. "Yawn," getting up and John assisted Clark.

"Die demon!" Shiva ran to him but he only picked her up arm's length and she struggled. 

Adora swiftly fighting the assassins froze as her eyes turned aqua again. Raven stood as she glanced at Adora's eyes, the same colour as she saw when healing her. But she soon got attacked by an assassin and he pointed her sword at her.

"John!" Adora shouted falling on her knees and she passed out by the power within her, curling into a ball.

"Shit, shit! Why now!" he rushed to her like an older protective brother.

Gar was pinned by two assassins, Clark still fighting some without powers, and the assassin with raven raised his sword and was about to strike when a voice boomed from the other side.

"Enough!" a deep voice commanded. 

(Haha Cliffhanger!)

Not...

Damian stood there with Titus besides him. He stood like a young king, the 19-year-old Damian. He looked so much like his father. His even sharper cheekbones, 6 foot 2 strong muscular build, and his clothes that were exactly like what he wore when he was younger. The black and gold armour and blood-red cape. Hell, he was even more handsome at this age than any of his siblings and father. 

The assassins stopped feeling the aura and raw power that oozed out of their master, for now, two years. 

"Hey," Raven said

Damian eyed at Clark and immediately drew his sword marching at him. "You!"

Raven and Gar rushed to Clark "Damian, please listen to him!" Raven shouted but he walked passed them, but before Damian was a metre away from him he heard the bark of Titus and turned around seeing him run towards Adora lying there on the floor with John by her side. Titus started to lick Adora's face hoping to see his other master wake up but didn't.

"Titus," Damian trailed off when he moved pass Clark to see Adora.

"Beloved...

Dun, Dun, Dun the actual cliffhanger!
