Chapter Eleven- Rough times
*Pandora's Pov*
"I don't understand why I have to go to this." John began bickering because there was a foundation party/fundraiser in memory of Nate's Dad, Hank.
"John, we are going to support our friend." I told him hearing him sigh.
I was going to wear a black dress, and Constantine was just wearing what he normally wears minus the trench-coat. (A/N: Dress Pandora is wearing below.)
"This shouldn't be a time for partying until Neron is sent back to hell." John nags one more time.
"Johny, please don't be such a grouch." I told him causing him to laugh. I agree it isn't the time for partying but, who knows I think we all need it considering what has been happening over the past few months.
I went back to my room to put on my dress and finish my makeup while Constantine did whatever he planned on doing.
I wish we lived in a world; where I didn't have to put daggers in my boots everywhere we went.
Shortly after getting ready I met up with John and the others so that we could leave and get to the foundation.
As we walked through using the time courier, John wrapped his arm around my waist and put his black sun glasses on. The place where they were having the gathering was large, and I immediately got the smell of booze hitting my nose as we walked in.
"You look beautiful, love." I felt Constantine whisper into my ear his hot breath hitting my neck.
"You always look charming, Constantine." I felt my cheeks heat up when he placed a kiss on my lips and then dragged me over to the mini-bar. I've never really been out drinking before, I've had drinks here and there but never anything too hardcore.
"A whiskey for me and a club soda for her." John tells the bar tender.
"You didn't have to get me anything." I told him considering I don't drink often.
"I've never seen you drink once while we've been together, so you're gonna drink at least tonight." He gave me a cheeky smile and then pulled out a cigarette and lit it. It was an unhealthy habit he had, but honestly I didn't mind too much because it's like a copping thing.
The bar tender places our drinks in front of us, mind has a straw and John just picks his up and gulps the whole thing down. I gave him wide eyes which made him give me a what look.
"The only reason I came was for you, and the booze."
I snorted, "Did you just snort?"
My cheeks flushed with embarrassment as I hung my head down low.
Way to go, Pandora. Now he thinks you're weird.
"It was cute love, relax." He said and pulled my chin up with his fingers and placed another kiss onto them.
Ray had walked up to Constantine and began a conversation as my mind was unleashed. It was really hard to think about tomorrow not knowing what it beholds. I hadn't told John but I started taking anxiety medication because I've been having a lot of attacks lately that he didn't know about. They weren't as bad as the one I had in the shower one time but, sometimes after having a vision I get them.
How John says it, everything has a cost and if this is my only contribution to the team then I'm going to push through the pain.
"Hey gorgeous, do you have a name?" A voice coming next to me calls out. I turn my head to see a blonde with baby blue eyes, staring at me. I turned to my side to see if John was still there and he went off with Ray somewhere.
"It's Pandora, you?" I almost rolled my eyes, he seemed nice but I was already taken.
"Well Pandora, it's nice to meet you. I'm Abaddon." He said with a bright smile holding out his hand. I didn't want to be impolite so I shook his hand as he ordered me another drink.
"So Pandora? What do you do for work?" Of course he had to start with that question. It took me a second to come up with something that wasn't, odd.
"I'm an intern working for a Marine Biologist." I told him and he flashed another smile.
"Let's just say what I do, isn't exactly on any agenda." He laughed as I gave an awkward smile.
"I'm gonna go use the restroom, I'll be back." He nodded as I grabbed my phone off the counter and look for the nearest bathroom.
Once I walked in, I walked towards one of the sinks and washed my hands, he felt dirty and not the good kind.
"Hey sweetheart why don't you say, you and I have a little fun." I heard his voice behind me and heard a clunk knowing he must've locked the door.
He walked up to me and pushed me against the sink and lifted my chin with his finger and put a hand on my breast and squeezed it. I tried to push him off of me but then he forcefully pushed me back against the wall.
"Now, now sweetheart we play by my rules." His voice sent shivers down my spine and not the good ones. There's no way this guy was one of Hank's colleagues, I attempted to scream only to have my mouth covered with a towel.
His hands slowly went up my dress tugging at my panties trying to get them off. I took my boot heel and stomped on his foot.
"You bitch!" He stepped back just enough for me to pull my panties up and unlock the door and tried to escape then he pulled me back by my legs causing me to fall.
"Constantine!" I screamed his name repeatedly.
*John's Pov*
I walked away from the bar to talk to Ray, something about the mission. A little after we were done talking I went to walk back to the bar but Pandora wasn't there. I looked around everywhere and couldn't find her.
She's gotta be in here somewhere, I thought to myself. Sara was with Ava so I didn't want to bother her, so I went to find Nate. I found him dancing with Zari over by the D.J booth.
"Nate, I can't find Pandora. She was at the bar and now I can't find her." I almost panicked but John Constantine doesn't panic.
"Shit, we'll help you find her Constantine." He told me trying to calm me down as I ran a hand through my messy hair.
I went up to the bar with them and ask the bar tender if he knew where she went.
"She went to the bathroom, I think she went with the guy that was sitting next to her."
"Bloody hell." I huffed out, this must be what it feels like to have your heart drop.
"Wait a minute Constantine, that doesn't sound like her." Zari told me.
"Well I wouldn't blame her if she did, I'm a terrible person to love."
"Constantine!!" We heard screams coming from the bathroom as we ran in there, the door was locked. I kept trying to break it down but then Nate said,
"Here back up." He tells us and turns to steel and breaks down the door. I run in and see a man 6'5 man with blonde hair trying to take off Pandora's underwear. She looked beyond scared, I went up and punched the man as he shoved me off Zari used her Wind Stone to get him off of Pandora. Pandora fell to the floor, she was struggling to breathe.
Zari went to help her, as Nate and I went to beat this guy to the pulp. I picked him up by the collar and shoved him into a stall and collided my fist into his face with the help of Nate knocking him unconscious.
I took off my black glasses and ran towards Pandora and knelt down and picked her up, there were bruises already starting to form. We tried to walk out but were bombarded with people asking what happened. I heard her quietly whimper into my chest.
"Next time you should check the guest list to make sure a rapist isn't on it!" I shouted causing everyone to go silent as I ran Pandora outside the rest of the team followed. I set her on the concrete.
"That son of a bitch!" I heard Sara yell as she was the last one out the door.
"Love can you hear me?" I asked shaking her shoulders.
"I'm sorry Constantine." Her voice sounded shaken.
"No don't be sorry, this wasn't your fault."
"It was a demon, his name was Abaddon. Said that Neron was going to kill you." She cried out.
"Who is Abaddon?" Ray questioned.
"He's one of the prince's of hell." I told them.
As Pandora went to go stand up, I grabbed her hand helping her off the ground.
"We aren't going to send that bastard back to hell, we are going to kill him." Charlie speaks and the whole team agreed to that.
*Pandora's Pov*
Back on the Waverider
Getting sexually assaulted wasn't even the worse part, it was the fact that each time that man touched me I was getting thrown into visions. John had laid me on his bed, and must've thought I was asleep because he left the room and I assume went to use the bathroom. Sometimes he did this late at night because he got sick when his anxiety or stress was too high.
I took off my blanket, and put a pair of his socks on to keep my feet warm. I opened the door and went to the bathroom and heard a vomiting noise outside the door.
"Bloody hell." I heard him whisper and then vomit again, so I opened the door and found him crawled up on the floor. I went over to him, and he was burning up. I rubbed his back, and he started humming.
"Love, I thought you were asleep." His groggy voice spoke.
"John, I know you better than that. I know you don't believe me but I'm okay." He nodded his head.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you." He admitted.
"I would be a fool, if I fell in love with John Constantine and didn't expect it to be a little rocky." He laughed and proceeded to flush the toilet again.
