"Selina, Ivy, you two will have to go back..." Ian spoke those words the moment he landed in the manor. He must've read something grim in the letters to drive such a decision out of him. 

"Mike was badly injured. Ivy, I need you to go back and watch over Gotham. 

We worked on a lot of new plants in the past year, so we need to construct a production line for them. Ivy's Garden is basica...

His power made him broken, but it also set a lot of limits on him, studying how to break those limits was the most fun he ever had since arriving in this world, and his research was already seeing results.

Within the lab, Ian stood before two colossal glass tanks. It was made of special glass that can keep what's within them inside.

Ian spread his hands, each palm touching a different glass tank...

Nanda Parbat was a very strange place. It was a place of peace and tranquility. Rarely can steps be heard, mainly because the monks' steps are silent, and they rarely move in the first place.

It was truly a golden city as most of its structures were made of gold, looking absolutely fabulous. Ian didn't find it too much to his liking though, gold was never to his liking.

The building architectur...

Nanda Parbat is a hidden city nestled high in the mountains of Tibet in china; it is said to be a place of healing and enlightenment watched over by the goddess-like figure Rama Kushna and her monks.

The city was Ian's target or his destination. He came in peace with no intention to fight, so surely nothing bad will happen.

The private jet took them to the closest airport to the place. A portion ...

"Wahhhhhhahha!" The sound of weeping reverberated through the coffee. There were only a few people within it at this time though none of them were paying any heed to the cries of need.

The one crying seemed to notice that as she quickly changed her tactics, "Boss! please don't leave me here alone, pleassse!?"

Ian rubbed his temples, somewhat speechless, "Layla, why isn't she learning anything? I m...

The chamber has one thing within with miraculous beauty, seeming to be the most graceful thing in existence. Even the strongest of minds would feel the urge to kneel before it... It was Lucifer's wings.

Two vast white wings with immaculate beauty framed on a wall case as if for show, an absolute heresy, and containment of sacred wings... They're the devil's wings though, so it's j...

He let out a long breath, not seeming angry, but his words sure insinuate wrath, "I have to make myself happy to calm down... Meeting Lucifer will do."

He couldn't help but slightly wince shortly after, 'Is pain finally catching up to me? Or does giving my life force away exempt me from the pain? Well, I guess there is only one way to find out.'

Another theory of his waiting ...

"What?" Much to the man's shock, Ian was nowhere to be seen. He wasn't inside, nor were the cuffs and the metallic rope. Everything seemed to have vanished, ceased to exist... Just what the fuck is happening?

Things that made no sense were nowhere near their end as an instant change happened again as if he had entered a trap. Within the field of fire was a large vacant area on which...

'Unleash...' It was an instinctive reaction. Ian released the incomplete result of one of his projects, uncaring about the consequences. Not knocking him out in one hit may have been a mistake.

Imagine holding a sea of fire in an empty dimension. Now imagine compressing all of that fire as much as possible, pushing it into a singular point, forming something akin to a sun, condensed ...

It took seven whole days for the Flash to come to his door though much to Ian's surprise, he also brought the device with him, the thing he was waiting for.

Those seven days weren't spent doing nothing though. He met up with Multiplex, or what he assumed to be his clone. Of course he wouldn't be trusted so easily.

They spent a while negotiating the slave contract... Well, kind...

"Yahhhoo!!" That was followed directly by the distinct sound of something crashing a skull.

"Stop it! What if you kill him!" Much to Harley's annoyance, someone stopped her, the Flash.

"It's okay, just let her have her fun. They're just clones anyway... I'm sure she won't do the same if it's the real one." Ian did a little convincing that made more sense than it should.

"Huh? Are you saying the boss is stupid? Boss! Give me my bat!! I have to educate them on how skulls are brok... Ahem... I mean, Oops?"

She was doing her job well, Ian noted. He ignored her words, and explained, "I know what am doing. I just want you to make it as small as possible while focusing on flexibility, but size comes first."

"Mm mm I agree, size comes first." Harley ...

"I wanted to get it right now," Selina murmured with a pout. She was arm in arm with Ian, both walking elegantly out of the airport.

"It's too valuable. It will surely be hard to borrow. Who knows if someone or something supernatural is protecting it?" 

"Ah? Something supernatural? What is it?!" Oh right, a new member has joined them, an odd cheerful one.

"Harley, do...

"Oh??"

She refers to herself as Harley Quinn?

"Harley Quinn, huh? Would it be worth it? Spending any amount of time training her? You did say she's a lunatic after all."

"Normally not, but I was kind of like her, so I can pretty much predict her actions. I think she can easily be tamed. You'll easily make her obedient with a few techniques."

Ian then made his way to another chamber at the far end of the hallway. Within that specific chamber was a shower room, and a shower he took, cleaning himself up from the ghastly ritual.

Ian being a bit more cautious than necessary walked up to another chamber where he found another circle, though this one is a magical circle, a spirit ward of protection to be exact. He stayed in it for a while just to...

Indeed, what he was developing was so much more of a cheat than what anyone might think to the point he wondered why none of the brilliant minds of this world ever thought about it.

'The problem is that the requirement for life force seems to be much higher than what he's currently capable of.'

That was a problem only time can solve. The amount of life force he can release in a second is limited, ...

"Now, back to the way of blood!" 

In the lab, before Ian were several test tubes and a few other objects. If anyone with a brain comes to know about them, they'll go further and beyond to acquire them to the point of desperation.

One of the test tubes had Constantine's blood, and Ian knows that his blood is quite special as it's partially a demon's blood, a very important demon.

Ian was right by his personal mansion, it was not a very big estate, but it was elegant, suiting his taste. The mansion was also right next to the newly built Cat's rest.

Money and influence can do wonders, especially in a world like the one he resides in. Having the two large buildings constructed in a matter of four months was a possibility.

It's even more of a wonder if one considers the gorg...

The area was hot, incredibly hot, and it was getting hotter by the second as the two lovers' tongues tangled around in a fierce battle.

The woman's legs were tightly wrapped around the man's waist, seemingly not imagining a second without him. Her left arm was around his neck, tightly grasping the back of his head and trying to push his head deeper towards her no matter how impossible that was.

Until one day where... Constantine spilled blood? Indeed, he spilled blood, literally.

Before meeting Ian, getting wounded was a daily occurrence for Constantine, but that changed, and he was starting to get used to it, like it even.

Constantine never realized before just how useful meatshields can be until now, especially ones that can not die. He had his doubts about Ian's power at first, but he...

"Ughhh," Ian lied. He was severely hurt. His bones felt like they were shattering and crashing against each other at every second. 

He had bruises on several regions of his body, especially his back. Slamming into the wall with such a force certainly did its toll on him.

The feeble crime lord did his best to raise his upper body until he became seated on the bed, albeit a bit stiffly.

Ian took his time, giving his mind plenty of time to clear up before eyeing the scammer weirdly, "I found an angel... Five books a case."

"..." Constantine remained speechless for a while before mumbling unsurely, "One book?"

"No. I'm constantly risking my life in every case. I mean, you're really not courteous in throwing me to the wolves every time, and it works every time. Do you realize ...

It was but two weeks before Ian finally found himself participating in a case that was way more interesting than any before, "God I hate magic, but I'm sure I will come to love it when I can use it." Ian Rose.

"I would argue you would come to hate it when you can use it." Constantine instinctively responded, the words hitting a spot.

"Hmm, is it about the concept of For every action, there is...

"I have pretty much solved the case." And Ian didn't quite understand how, but he can at least assume it has something to do with magic and some knowledge he doesn't have.

"I just have to check a few things to make sure." He then called the landlord while Ian observe the other ghost. What appears to be a female ghost who in contrast to the one in his hand seems to want to escape the room.

No, ...

"Interesting. So forcing the demon to constantly change possessions between two individuals can weaken them to the point where they can be killed instead of banishing them."

Ian murmured to himself with amusement. Two books were before him on a table, quite clean, not looking ancient at all, but they have knowledge worthy of his attention.

On his side was Raven, kind of leaning into Ian's shoul...

"Who are you?" Right as Ian went through the portal, he found a gun pointed at his head. 

Standing before him was what looked like a homeless man, in a literal sense. He was attired in a worn-out brown coat, and it was a bit dirty with plenty of gaps on it. His hair was messy and the same was the rest of his clothes.

Even the house they were in was messy, seeming to have little to no furn...

Ian put on black pants, black shoes, a white shirt, and a black Tuxedo vest above it, looking quite handsome but still as carefree as ever.

Raven came up to him just as he was putting on a black tuxedo jacket, "What do you think? Looks good?" He wondered.

"Trying to impress someone?" Raven eyed him strangely but didn't answer his question. She instead asked one of her own.

"Give him the hints needed, but tell me if anything comes up. Remember, if he does anything you don't like at all, eliminate him, but for now, we need him to keep the Bat off our tracks."

Ian spoke as he put on a black winter coat, and straightened himself a bit.

"Why are you leaving again?" It was a question Ralf asked many times but ended up receiving the same exact answer.

"To borrow ...

It wasn't long after the meeting before moans and whines of pleasure resounded throughout a certain room, more intense than any previous time that Selina noticed while barely hanging on a thread.

Her consciousness was slipping out, on the brink of passing out, but Ian didn't allow it, not this time at least.

There wasn't much foreplay this time around as he was ready to finally go all the way, ...

"What did you do!!" A crisp yell reverberated throughout a certain roof amidst the darkness, very late at night.

"We had a deal!" Another yell by the same person followed soon after. The source of the sound was a muscular figure, attired entirely in a black suit. He was none other than Batman.

His irritation was obvious as he almost held Ian above the ground as he was grasping the neckli...
