laughing_magicianLittle differs in this AU as far as the Constantine series goes, although if I had taken John from a further point in the Legends Of Tomorrow series there would have been stronger difference in the story change. I have filled in and added to John's story with information provided from the Hellblazer comic series. While I don't plan to list every example of Hellblazer lore that has been added to the AU, it would make the application insufferably long, I will list some of the more interesting and important additions. If wanted, I can provide more examples.
Warnings: Child injury, sexual assault, gun violence in mention.
• John Constantine is bullied relentlessly by violent boy Kenny Nelson. He conspires with his sister for information on how Kenny killed his mother, and uses a faux séance to scare him, with the intent of stopping the episodes of bullying by scaring Kenny. This however leads to Kenny running out in front of a truck, and leaves him with grievous injuries. John is then indebted to Kenny's sister, who is at least less cruel of a bully.
• During one of his stays in Ravenscar, John Constantine found himself pulled out unexpectedly mid-treatment by Norman Cooper, a career criminal and the brother to dangerous and unpredictable Harry Cooper. Harry's son Ronnie had been killed, and John was pressured to revive him. This was not possible. Mentally distressed, under deep pressure, and terrified of the murderous criminal, John Constantine bound a horrific demon into the child's body so he could be free of them. Years later, the healed sigils allowed the demon to run free, and it forcibly impregnated Harry Cooper to create a new anti-Christ. John Constantine and Chas had no choice but to destroy the child.
• John's connection to Nergal started long before The Newcastle Crew had even formed. As a child, John Constantine was gifted a cigarette by Nergal who intended to corrupt his innocence by planting the seeds of corruption in this action. However, John was able to steal the entire pack for him. This was the start of his addiction, and eventually John Constantine develops lung cancer because of it. Later, he is able to trick The Triumvirate of Hell into healing him by selling his soul to each of them directly. Without them healing him, there would be a war over his soul. However, this was done in the most painful way possible, reminding John Constantine just how powerful and dangerous of enemies he'd made.
• The Resurrection Crusade plans to create a new Christ through the union of Zed and an angel. This forces Nergal makes a move again, forming his own Damnation Army in response. He heals John, who recently was severely injured in an accident after a breakdown, through infusions of his own blood. And threatens newborns in the hospital to force John to participate in preventing the Christ's birth. The demon blood taints John, and he passes that taint onto Zed when they're intimate, making her an unsuitable vessel for the Christ. The angel rejects her in response.
• John visits his friend Brendan Finn in hopes that the man will have a cure for his cancer. Instead, after enjoying ale made from holy water, he finds out that the other man is dying of liver failure. And hoped that John would have a cure for him. Brendan dies that night, and the First Of The Fallen comes to collect his soul. John however, manages to trick him and makes it so that Brendan's soul can go to heaven.
• After finding out that recently deceased friend Jerry O' Flynn was arranging for families to be killed by the Family Man, John hunts the man down. In retaliation, The Family Man kills Tommy Constantine, and John eventually kills the family man by shooting him.
•To be added: Swamp Thing plot info, how John saves Astra and the other trapped children from hell in the future, more friend interactions.
