#The Joker stole the book from Constantine with ghost help

[nelkcats]

Run, run and don't stop running

Flash lived the end of the world again and was thinking about how to retire from being a hero; It actually started out as a pretty normal day, everyone was at the Watchtower for a meeting when Batman showed up with a strange book.

The book had summoning rituals and information about ghosts. Flash scoffed at it until Batman talked about the Joker trying to buy it from warlocks and use it, luckily he hadn't succeeded because of Bruce intervention. They all agreed to leave the book with Constantine, who looked sulky about the situation.

The problem was what happened shortly after; while they were trying to deal with another invasion (of strange, glowing, one-eyed beings) the Joker appeared in the middle of the battle with a wide smile and the same book that Constantine had been given (Constantine was really confused, he was sure he left the book in a place where not even humans can enter) Flash had a bad feeling when the villain picked it up and started talking, beginning the summoning ritual.

His bad feeling grew as he watched a necklace with a red stone shone around the villain's neck. Joker laughed commenting that it was a family heirloom (although he didn't ask). And that it was his precious treasure.

From there, everything went to hell. All the creatures saw the portal opening and bowed in respect. Shortly after "The Ghost King" appeared, the entire League had fallen in battle. The one-eyed beings were hard but ¿this? This was on another level, not even Superman could win against it. And Batman didn't had a backup plan for an unknown enemy.

Flash looked into the King's expressionless red eyes as he backed away, and just when he thought all was lost, he heard a voice. Everything around him froze.

"Run, run and change my son's future"

Not knowing what the voice meant and noticing that time seemed frozen, he began to run. He was going to run and turn back time, change the future, steal that book, kill the Ghost King, he didn't know what he would do, but he hoped it would work.

From the Infinite Realms, Clockwork frowned at his screen. And for once in centuries, he would help the Speedforce change the future, regardless of the consequences.
