The Archmagi of Technology

Chapter 19: Constantine



After a short flight, Virgil arrived at Young Justice Tower. Walking through the front door he didn't even get to take a few steps before he heard Dicks yelling.

"Where did you go? You just left the tower without informing anyone what if something happened," 

"I'm sorry I was walking around town and lost track of time I will make sure it does not happen again," Virgil replied 

"Ha...I see just make sure you inform someone next time?" Dick sighed, calming down

"Alright, you can go. Rember tomorrows training will start at 0600 don't be late," Dick said walking away

 Walking away Virgil went to his room and just as he was about to get inside he was stopped by Zatanna who was waiting at his door.

"Do you need something?" Virgil asked reaching the door

"Oh you're back I just wanted to ask you something," Zatanna said standing before him

"Go ahead but be fast I have things to do," Virgil replied

"I was wondering if you have a thing for Raven?"

"...what makes you ask that?" Virgil asked

"Well when we first met you only kept looking at her and when I wanted to spar you just moved me aside to be closer to Raven," Zatanna explained

"It seems like all your interest in joining the team stems from her and Batmans gear" she added

{Was that really the reason you joined you re interested in this girl} Sabastian asked

(Yes and No)

"Yes, I do. I'm sorry for ignoring your request tomorrow in the afternoon come find me and we can have a spar," Virgil answered

"...oh I see. Alright then I will see you then," Zatanna said her face going from upset to neutral before walking away

"Damn, that was harsh man. I think you're the first guy who wasn't interested in her," Wally said from behind

"How long have you been standing there?" Virgil asked

"Not too long, but just long enough," Wally laughed

"Alright can I trust you not to say anything I would rather not have to deal with drama," Virgil said opening his door

"Sure thing I usually just watch from a distance my lips are sealed," Wally said walking away 

(I guess we'll see) Virgil thought entering his room

Walking into his bathroom he ignited a small flame on his finger. Condensing it into a fine point he began engraving the same runes that John used to transport them. 

Once he had done so, he stood in the circle and mumbled the same words. The next moment, the scene of the bathroom was replaced with John's lab. 

"Bloody hell kid do you know the fear that ran down my spine,": John said holding a small curved dagger towards Virgil

"I didn't know how else to contact you without speaking with Batman or the others," Virgil replied

"Speak to me about what. It better be important if you can't tell the bats," John said putting his dagger away

"I need your help getting somewhere," Virgil said

"Look if this is about going to hell I already told you not until you finish your training and even then I work alone," John said

"No, I have no reason to go to hell. I want to get to Azaroth," Virgil continued

"Azaroth that place was destroyed why would you want to go there?" John asked curiously

"Simple...Trigon will escape to Earth in three months. The monks of Azaroth had knowledge of how to seal him I'm hoping they have knowledge on how to kill him," Virgil explained

"So you know about Trigon. Alright but how do you know we only have three months?" John asked

"Because his daughter Raven the conduit for him to be freed turns eighteen in three months,"

"Raven...that moody girl in the purple robe?"

"Yes,"

"Well I'll be damned I didn't think the child of Trigon would be this close to me," John laughed

"So will you help me or not?"

"...Fine but what will I gain in return for getting you there?" John asked

"Well, that spell book you gave me I learned and purified it," Virgil said igniting a small blue flame

"...Shit that is a hot flame for something so small. How did you do it? Not even the strongest magic users could read the book?" John asked, eyes filled with curiosity

"Well that's for me to know but if you help me I will give you a small flame now and later a furnace this fire," Virgil offered

"You got yourself a deal. Something as dangerous as the flames of hell in my collection," John replied with a wide grin

"Alright, how fast can we get there?" Virgil asked

"Woah you will have to give me at least a week. That place is always shifting where it is. Finding it won't be easy," John said focusing

"Alright, that is fine with me. But it will be your problem to get Batman off our case," 

"I can deal with the bat. Just come back here one week from now and I will have a way to Azaroth," John said turning around 

"Good I will see you then," Virgil said stepping within the runs and muttering Latin to himself 

Just like before the scene before him changed and he found himself back in his bathroom.

{Well that's one way to go about that} Sabastian spoke

Turning on the shower Virgil opened his system to check his status and if he had any new missions.
