Hell Brothers (6/?)

Summary : Hellblazer crossover. Antichrists Michael, Duncan and Jim, aka the triplets of Hell, are not okay. Their dear sister, aka favorite toy, is missing. Strangly, their Father is not helping them with this matter. He prefers to make a deal with the one who is protecting her, John Constantine.

"You went to see Cordelia Goode."

Billie Dean Howard was out to make one of her ridiculous shows, supposedly invited by one of the ghosts of the infamous Hotel Cortez, so during her absence John had agreed to stay at her home to watch the girl. The sun was long gone, after dinner Rachel had gone to her room to read on her bed, and he had thought that she had fallen asleep since ; that was why he had settled on the couch to enjoy his third glass of whiskey and a cigarette, in peace.

"Go back to bed." he mumbled without looking at her.

"I heard that you saw my father and that he agreed to free me against the Supreme. I searched on the Internet, Cordelia Goode is the Supreme of the witches."

"You know a lot of things. But do you know that it's very rude to listen to other's conversations ?"

"I... sorry."

At the sound of her voice, Constantine could have thought she was sorry and understood, but she came to sit next to him, before catching his cigarette. John thought she was going to smoke, but after a long look at it, she threw the cigarette into his glass.

"It's bad for your health. My brothers often joke that you're going to die because of the stupidest pleasures, while other dead might open you the gates of heaven. It's still possible to be forgiven, you know that ?"

It was terribly funny to receive a lesson in morality, with the added bonus of an attempt to comfort his situation from a girl who knew, or at least should know, that she was seen by everyone as someone bad who was going to be punished for no reason. John did not know whether he should feel pathetic or angry against her, against himself, against God, Lulu, and the whole world who were not fair.

"So... did you find a way to help me ?" she murmured, and he felt all her hope in the trembling of her voice.

"Cordelia is doing research, but there is little hope."

"I've done some research too. I know why she is important, why my father wants her to die. Without the Supreme, the balance can not be maintained and the Apocalypse will take place. However it is not specified that it must be Mrs. Goode. If the Internet is not wrong, I read that a new Supreme always appeared to take the place of the previous one... So, if we find the right witch, maybe Mrs. Goode will help me, no ?"

"First of all, Cordelia is kind, but maybe not so kind as to sacrifice herself for a girl she does not know and who is the devil's daughter. And then there is nothing to predict when the next Supreme will appear. It could happen tomorrow as in years. First Cordelia's powers will diminish, then the young one will have to pass the seven Wonders, and in the end I imagine that she will want to use the remaining time to form the one who will succeed her."

"What are the Seven Wonders ?" she asked, tilting her head to the side.

"A test to determine if a witch is powerful enough to become the next Supreme. Except for the one in place, only the next one can succeed."

"So all the witches need to pass this test and we'll find the right one quickly, that will leave Mrs. Goode enough time to train her and after that..."

It was almost adorable to see Rachel get excited, preparing all the details of her plan, when it was doomed to failure. Even if Cordelia agreed that they would pass it, which would never happen, no witch would want to try the seven wonders without having the certainty to get by without too much damage. Because already the test was dangerous in itself, there was especially a wonder scarier that the others : Descensum. For the other wonders, there was always a way to get the girls back if something happened, but if they could not escape from their personal hell, it would be impossible to bring them back. Rachel seemed to ignore this detail and her smile disappeared when Constantine explained what it was.

"Stuck in Hell forever. You can imagine what that does, do not you ?"

"But... I do not understand, why take such a risk ?"

"Because it's the only way to designate the new Supreme."

"It's insane. Even if they find the right one, they're not sure before, and so it's still possible that it's a mistake before she goes down."

"And here's why your plan can not work. I'm sorry."

Rachel rose slowly, murmuring again and again, "They're crazy" while she was going back to her room. Even if he had finally achieved his goal, he had crushed any glimmer of hope in her, John did not feel any satisfaction.

_______________________

Everything was calm at Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies, the night was still young, Cordelia had donned her satin nightie and she was reading one of the last books she had found, which could possibly have helped Constantine's client, when Myrtle Snow came running.

"Delia, quick, John Henry Moore is in the living room and I'm afrad he will lose all his blood on our beautiful 18th century carpet !"

"What ? He's hurt ?"

"Oh, my dear, he's almost dead."

Indeed poor John Henry was badly wounded in the stomack and neck, and it was a real miracle that he managed to get here in this state. After closing his wounds with the help of Mallory, a very talented new student who was good with healing spells, Cordelia and Myrtle carried him to an empty room so that he could lie far from the prying eyes of the girls. He clearly needed rest, but they needed to know what had happened. They had to know if there was a threat to the school.

"The triplets..." he sighed. "The sons of Lucifer, they came to Hawthorne for information. Their sister disappeared. We knew nothing about it, absolutely nothing, but Augustus offered to help them. Now that I think about it, I imagine that he did this to save the boys, because it was obvious that they were not going to leave us alive. Behold and I did not agree, it was out of the question to help demons, so... Cordelia, they're all dead. I could not do anything for my students, I fled, I'm a coward... "

"Hush. You're a good man, I know you wanted to do well, and you probably did everything to save them, but with your wounds you could not do anything else... Sleep now."

With a wave of her hand, she soothed him and he closed his eyes without being able to resist. Myrtle then followed her to her office, uttering insults at the triplets of hell, the worst creatures that existed after their father. And that was why Cordelia did not have time to laugh at her mentor's comments, because the situation was critical. These three boys were a plague, a definite danger for her girls, so even though she understood Moore's reaction to the idea of helping them, she would not hesitate for a second to give them what they wanted, if that would made them return to their hole. She did not understand why they had so much trouble finding their sister, who had no power and who could not have gone very far... until she made the connection with a story she had heard a few days ago. The story of a girl chased by demons, sent directly by Satan.

"John..." she mumbled. "You are an idiot..."

"I agree, but what Constantine has to do with this ?" Myrtle asked.

"It does not matter. Wehave to prepare more protections, in case they come here, and if that ever happened... I know where their sister is."

________________________

Installed in the best suite of the Cortez, for free, with the promise of James Patrick March to make every effort to find their little princess, the triplets yet felt like caged lions. And when there were many in the same cage, who were getting tired and impatient, things could quickly escalate.

"Why do we not find her ?" Jim moaned, squirming on his bed, grimacing. "It's been almost a month, Michael. A fucking month !"

"And you are the one complaining ?" Duncan groaned. "You got her last. It's because of you that she left, so shut up. Go get some stuff to calm yourself down and let us think between adults."

"Fuck you Dunc ! We agreed we did not say it was my fault ! Why would it not be yours, since you had her before me ? After all the disgusting things you did to her, she thought about a plan to run away and she waited to be alone to do it !"

"Bullshit ! That's bullshit ! You're already high, are you ? You can really not stay longer than ten minutes without taking something ?!"

"Speak for yourself. You just came back from the restroom and everyone knows what you were doing here, so..."

"It's enough."

They could try to prove otherwise, they could get offended when someone reminded it to them, they could play the tough guys, but Jim and Duncan never forgot that their eldest was the strongest, the one who had to lead the armies of theirs father on the day of the Last Judgment, the one that must not be annoyed. They knew it, but the circumstances and the tension in the room prevented them from thinking before speaking.

"Do you not agree, Mikey ?" Duncan spat. "Or do you feel responsible ? Do you know something ? Oh, I know, our sister did not disappear, you killed her. Or you hid her, to have her for yourself alone, because, in reality, you are a selfish little baby who needs to be cuddled and reassured, because he is afraid that his daddy does not love him enough to..."

Jim watched with horror as his big brother fell on his knees, touching his throat in desperation, trying to breathe by loosening Michael's invisible grip, who was not even watching him choking.

"Please, Michael, let him go. He did not think so, it's the stress that speaks. We all want to find her and it's long, so long... You know how we have no patience, unlike you."

"Do you think compliments will change anything ?"

"No... But that's the truth. And for our father... we all think he does not love us, he did not even answer us when we asked him to find our sister."

It seemed to be enough to calm Michael, who let Duncan breathe again. Several times they had begged their father to find the fugitive, but they had got no answer, not even a 'no', as if he was ignoring them. Yet they had been good boys, they had done everything he asked, they were ready to perform the Apocalypse when the time came. Did their father reproach them for asking for a sister ? To not have been cruel enough with her ? Too nice ? It was not fair, she was theirs, they could do what they wanted with her... and they were also responsible for her. "I guess he thinks we have to fend for ourselves when it comes to finding what belongs to us and that we have lost. This story does not concern him, that's all."

"And... what will happen... when we try everything... and we still have found... nothing ?" Duncan asked, trying to catch his breath, opening the collar of his shirt.

"There will only be one place and where we are not allowed to go."

"I asked my followers to take a look." Jim said. "They have not seen a girl at Constantine's, and he's not often at home lately."

For a few moments, Michael considered the possibility of strangling his younger brother for hiding this information because he was too silly to realize that it was essential. John Constantine was a lone wolf, who only came out of his lair for important business, before returning to hiding there as soon as possible. The triplets were aware of all the coming and going of the demons right now, so there was nothing that could justify his being away so often.

"And do you know where he's going ?" he asked in a slow voice, which made Jim understand that if he did not know the answer, he would suffer the same fate as Duncan.

"At... a psychic who's doing television, Billie Dean Howard. He's sleeping there sometimes, so I guess he's fucking her."

"Lucky guy." Duncan said with a bitter smile.

If there was one thing their father had told them about Constantine, it was that he was a shy little prude, too kind to have relations with others, for fear of involving them in the conflict that he led against them. So it was certainly not about love or sex with this Howard. And they were going to pay her a visit.

Welcome to the Shadows ~ Part 4

Authors Note 1: Face Claim for Manech Langonnet II is Gulliver McGrath From the 2012 Dark Shadows Movie

Author’s Note 2: I began this in June 2017 and had writer's block, in regards to my fanfics, for a few months, then I kept getting distracted. as always the date i tag them with is when is when i finished them

Author’s Note 3: the blog for the fic i started this tory as companion to has been deactivated

Part One Part Two Part Three

He kissed her nose when he saw her crying again. ever since she had been Told Queenie was going to be staying at the Cortez she had been having nightmares. Well, Premonitions and she was afraid to tell Queenie or Cordelia that she knew it meant If Queenie went to that hotel she would never come back.

“You’ve been having this dream every night for almost two weeks. Why don't you just tell her?”

“I can’t. The Romanshel that camp out near Collinsport told me you are not supposed to tell someone when they’re going to die. But I really like Queenie and if she goes to the Hotel Cortez she won’t come back.”

“Explain to me what Ramnshel are again.”

“Until recently they are what people called Gypsies. The Collins family has a connection to The Romanshel who camp in Collinsport,” she said

“We both have the day off today. How about we go for a drive.” he smiled at her. it was hard to believe it had been two years since they had started working for Cordelia Foxx. “It’s been three years since the first time you came into one of the support group meetings at Tulane.”

“Really.” she follows him out to his car.hthey needed to get out of the City for a few hours and he was taking her to a county fair to unwind and also she wasn't expecting. What was going to Happen? He had been planning this for few months. Kyle was not 100% sure about most things in his life but he was sure he wanted Lucy to become Lucy Spencer.

a short time later he was looking at the sky as they sat on the hood of his car “Do you ever think of marriage?” h placed a ring box shaped like Cinderella’s coach on her lap

And she Opened it and next to the ring was an engraved sign that said will you marry me?

she looked at him “Yes Kyle.” she smiled at him “I love You Kyle.” he slides off the hood of his car and gets a blanket out of the trunk and spreads it on the ground.

After they were done making out for a while they hear rustling and look up to see a 13-year-old boy looking at them “This kid has been following me around.”

Lucy “he’s not Dangerous His name is Manech Langonnet II. This means my friend the Romanshell are in the area.” later that evening at their house

Manech “Magda told me I could stay with you if I wanted to.”

Lucy looked at Kyle “Go find yourself something to Eat Manech. I need to talk to Kyle.” she watched the boy go into the kitchen “He has precognition like some of the others in Collins bloodline, i didn’t even tell him where the Kitchen is.”

“Your family is very complex. Explain how a kid with a French name is a Collins.”

“his Great-grandmother Anastasia Was the cousin of my grandfather Jacob. She rumored to have had an affair with James Patrick march the man who Built the Hotel Cortez.”

“You were named after this woman?”

“no i was named after the daughter of the first Quentin Collins who was born somewhere between 1810 and 1813.” she smiled “But I digress. So Manech is my fourth cousin and it was the Racosi Family who brought my mother and me to New Orleans.”

Kyle “He can stay in your old room. it is fine with me.” Kyle said with a smile “He is family.”

“Hopefully the Racosi stopped doing arranged marriages like other tribes do. because he’s about the age to be introduced to the one they want him to marry.”

around 2am when Lucy was having a hard time sleeping “Lu, you should be sleeping.”

“so should you Manech you are ten years younger than i am.”

“Point taken.” he makes two glasses of chocolate milk. “Magda sensed that you were being plagued by visions.”

“just a single one,” she tells Manech about the dream she's been having

“So what you need is a way to help Queenie without directly telling her that going to this place will result in her death.” he sighed “Wait a minute. I recall Correctly Magda has a friend who lives nearby the Hotel Cortez. Who runs a bed and breakfast.”

The Next Morning... “Miss Cordelia, May i speak to you in Private?” Lucy said “I don’t think you should book Queenie at the Hotel Cortez. it is a Spirit Cage. the only way to guarantee that she won’t die and is to somehow manage to free the souls trapped there so they don’t desire to murder people.”

Cordelia looked at her “Stop Talking, Miss Collins. Two things. Congratulations on your engagement.” she smiled “your empathy is your downfall, Lucy. You are worried Queenie will be angry or that something bad will happen if you tell her she’s in danger.” she paused and looked down “How do you know about this Hotel you’ve never been to California.”

The young woman looked at the Supreme “Because I'm friends with a group of Romanshel, and they go to LA once a year.” she looked at her “Thank you. on both accounts I know I've been overthinking this i am just worried of how she will react because Queenie is bit intimidating at times.” she smiled as Cordelia placed her hand on top of her own “Am I member of the Coven?”

“Technically Yes. You were technically member when you arrived in New Orleans you just needed to come into your powers and accept what has happened to you.” she paused “You’re just fortunate My mother didn't know you were a witch or you would have likely met the same fate as a few of the members who arrived at the same time as Misty, Zoe, and Queenie.”

“I am going to go look for Queenie.” when she wanders around the house she finds Lee Dancing with Queenie to Hip Hop music.

“Lee. when did you get here? I will talk to you Later brother.”

“You forget little Sister since the powers come from our family i have them too.” Lucy looked at him and he steps forward and catches her as she faints “Grandmother was the same way she would avoid telling people vision and when someone else beat her to it she would faint.”

As Lucy slowly woke up Queenie Looked at her “Listen, girl, I never will judge you for something you can’t control.”

“I know Queenie but the Coven is the first time I've ever had friends i am afraid of losing anyone.” she looked at her Friend

“Nice ring. Congrats on your engagement.” Queenie said

“Kyle said it made him think of me when he saw it. it is Star Sapphire.” she said, “I admire you I wish I felt like someone people noticed me when i came into a room.”

“That is not why you are here. You are honest and you managed to make friends. Lu, we all have baggage.” Queenie said, “Your brother is hilarious you never mentioned having a gay brother?”

“You didn’t ask.” she said, “I don’t mean to sound like a smart ass but there is no way to just casually mention I have a half brother who was raised as my cousin because his mother was my Uncle’s Wife.” she sighed and looked down at her hands “Don't stay at the Hotel Cortez. If you go there you will die.” Lucy said looking at Queenie. “Manech is a direct blood descendant of one of the few people to make it out of the Cortez alive in the 1930s. My Namesake Anastasia Collins stayed there after she left her husband. James Patrick March is a murderer who was killed in his hotel and ow he resides there and murders people who enter that hotel never come out. Ther only reason Ana was able to Leave was that James showed his little bit of Humanity towards her.”

Queenie looked at her “Lulu, you have an unusual family but in the short time, I’ve known you. You’ve only been known to be honest.” she rubbed her chin “But who should i stay with?”

“Kyle and I have a friend who lives in Hollywood. who looks a lot like Kyle. His name is Rory Monahan. The head of the costume department at the studio he works for is an exiled Member of the Racosi tribe. the same that has been raising Manech. You can stay with her.”

“They most hold you in high regard if you are the first person they sent Manech too.”

Lucy would only succeed at delaying the deaths of people around her.

But ofr now they were happy.

The End

Activity 6B: Past, Present and Future Style

For my future style, I want to continue to wear coordinated outfits, and super unique and femimine styles, such as for love & lemons. I also want to own power suits for work, inspired by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I want to support small businesses and shops, so I’d like to buy from online boutiques, as well as continuing to shop at the brands I love such as Forever 21, lulu’s, Pretty Little Thing, ASOS, H&M, Zara, etc. I hope that these large companies will shift to more sustainable methods of making clothes, and treat their workers ethically, because I want to also be mindful of where my money is going.

@hellsforbes (lulu/march)

Presents. Lulu had always been told by her mother that presents were a good way to make someone like you. Or at the very least not hate you and that is certainly the feeling that Lulu was getting from James March since she'd taken up residence in the hotel. While she didn't have much to offer, she left little things outside his door. Paintings that she made with blood from her kills and jars of hearts. Sometimes accompanied by cookies.

She steered clear of him otherwise, occupying her time by playing in her room or making kills in an alley off the Cortez property and avoiding that Countess woman the best she could. She didn't like the woman. Far too cruel for Lulu and the Countess didn't like her much either after Tristan had taken an interest in the vampire briefly.

Tonight, she placed a jar filled with two hearts outside of March's door along with a painting of the Cortez and knocked twice. Running to the end of the hall, the blonde peeked around the corner to watch and for once see what his reaction was to the 'gifts'.

Mari Gonzalez admite briga com Nicole Bahls na época do ‘Pânico’

Famosa por ter participado do programa “Pânico”, a modelo e repórter Mari Gonzalez foi a convidada de Rafael Cortez para um papo revelador no canal dele no YouTube. Na conversa, ela admitiu que chegou a ter desavenças com Nicole Bahls na época em que as duas trabalharam na atração.

“O problema vinha dela, não de mim. Quando eu entrei, acho que foi meio difícil. O ‘Pânico’ tinha mania de quando entrava uma pessoa, deixava as outras de lado. E isso causa problemas. As meninas ficavam chateadas. Acho que foi o que aconteceu com a Nicole. Mas eu nunca tive problema com ela. A gente já se viu depois, ela fala comigo. Mas teve treta lá. Bastante treta. Ouvi cada coisa… Nunca agressão, só verbal mesmo, falar besteira”, disse.

+ Ivete, Teló e mais famosos celebram namoro de Lulu Santos

Namorada do ex-BBB Jonas Sulzbach, Mari assegurou que não se incomoda com o vídeo íntimo dele que vazou logo após ele entrar no reality show da Globo (em 2012).

“Quando saiu o vídeo eu não estava com o Jonas. Foi quando ele saiu do ‘BBB’. A primeira pergunta que fizeram para ele foi essa. Quando comecei a namorar com ele não mudou nada. Até hoje tem muitos comentários em foto, pessoalmente também as pessoas brincam. Para mim não afeta em nada. Ciúme zero, não sou ciumenta”, garantiu ela.

Ainda sobre a exposição, ela contou que o modelo é que fica mais chateado com isso. “Ele se incomoda mais do que eu. Com esse negócio ele perdeu trabalhos. Dá uma queimada, né? Na época ele ficou triste”, entregou. Com informações da Folhapress.
