Not unusual. Especially if the city expanded around the factory. But an abandoned factory just smacks of 'trap'. I would be taking entry very carefully and very slowly.
It's clearly something Constantine-related, isn't it?
Ah. Okay, earlyriser, you called it! Now, to see whether he's acting alone, working on something for Mammon or pulling a revenge play on John Constantine...
I would keep investigating. This may be a side-plot, Simpson taking advantage of the weird stuff to make his own play.
Probably a good thing she doesn't know details. But at least she'll be on her guard.
Death is such a trivial side-trip to some people's lives... In DC, people don't always die when they are killed, to borrow the meme...
Don't be so eager, little missy. What if he wants to flay you alive? Or worse, use you as bait for your uncle?
Gemma, the man has quite possibly the greatest tool in the universe on his finger, powered solely by his wanting something. There are always multiple ways to do something when that's involved.
Argh. Teenagers.
Yes, and that's why he's saying this. Simpson is not someone you want to trust with anything, unless you have him on a very short, very painful leash. And even then, be wary.
At least 'surprise Kryptonian interrupt' is a good trump card.
Yes, that's not worrying at all. Someone has prepared their ground very well, and the snare has bait in it... Unfortunately, the only option seems to be setting off the trap and surviving.
Because of course Simpson has set up in there...
Laying it on thick, huh? This is going to suck.
Heh. Now I picture Succubuses wearing metal plates futilely trying to get his attention as he assembles a robotic love doll...
Which makes it a little annoying when you hear someone refer to one as an android, because it sounds fancy and sci-fi-y...
Usually because some writers tend not to deal with things outside their knowledge base well......You hope. Not that you want her to know that...
Remind me, has he branded Simpson before? Surprised he doesn't just go for it from out here...
Oh, don't tell her that... She'll want...
...Some of her own. To be fair, she's a Constantine, and very much like her uncle.
And there's more chance of Mammon calling up asking about the sudden snowfall Down Below before that happens...
To be honest, above a certain point, all technology tends to look the same, and not just in trends of form factor and user interface... Even under the hood, things tend towards a standard...
Just watch out for something big enough to cause backlash. Remember what happened to Dox? (Yes, I know, not Empathic vision, but still...)
Well, she is a Constantine. Smarts and sneakiness go hand-in-hand in that line.
Even then, he'd have to go through the ward to get anywhere, whether by charm or by force. And she's too wary to allow anything.
Crap. He has backup? Or is someone else coming to this party? Could it be John, having picked up on the threat to his blood?
Yes, turn up the sleaze. That's surely going to make her do what you want, Simpson.
Heh, he actually sounds surprised. Not sure why, OL was bound to have warned her when he saw where they were.
Hopefully we get to find out tomorrow!
Yeah, really starting to miss Common Sense OL.
There were apparently a bunch of these that got fixed but there's still one.
So it's just your average Demon plot... How utterly disappointing...
I'm totally blaming the website for that.They were still there after I reloaded the page after editing my commenting. In fact, at least one still is.
It's not overconfident if you never lose or even suffer more then a minor inconvenience.
Showing Zoat hasn't actually watched Invincible or even the clips.
Well not even that. But this is John's niece....OL should clearly know that she'd be bait.
Okay, I had to like just for that.
He..he he.. hahaha!! The size tag strikes again!
Thank you, corrected.
Are you joking? A chance to learn about magic without her parents trying to stop her? If the SI wasn't there she might well just say 'yes'.
Thank you, corrected.
I hadn't clicked save yet because I was doing the other corrections.
It's not the size, but how you use it. And evidence suggests that Zoat uses it erratically.
The ritual that turned him into a Lord of Chaos was also the ritual that yoinked Nabu's mantle (and freed Zatara), so he gained that as well as they had nowhere else to put it.
And knowing John, he likely hasn't been idle in putting all that power to good, or rather, morally grey/ambiguous use.
