Chapter 9

The next day, John used a glamor to make all 6 of them look like Ghosts and then opened up a vortex into the Hive base.

"Okay, the coast is clear, everyone knows your assignments?" Sara asked.

"Yep. Haircut and Pretty get the idol, Mick and I set charges while you and the wizard take on Darhk." Snart said.

"Yep. Once everyone accomplishes their objectives, head to the garage for extraction, since we don't want to arouse suspicion by just hanging around here. Snart, Rory, I will give you the signal to blow this place once I've dealt with Darhk, one way or another." Sara said and they all nodded as they split up.

"So, any ideas on how we find Darhk?" Constantine asked.

"I figured you'd have some kind of tracking magic that can help with that." Sara said.

"Not without tipping our hand. Any sign of my magic beyond what I've already used could end up tipping Darhk off that all is not as it seems. We'll have to find him the old fashioned way." Constantine said and Sara nodded as they began walking through the compound, doing their best to look like Ghosts as they did.

"Damn it, where is he?" Sara said.

"Calm down love, we will find him. And when we do, I hope that you know what you're doing." Constantine said.

"Yeah, you and me both." Sara agreed as they kept searching until finally, they hit some good luck when Sara heard a familiar voice down a hallway.

"I know what I'm sensing. There's another magic user here." Darhk's voice said and Sara and John quickly followed it until they found Darhk in what looked like a conference room with the other heads of Hive.

"What do you know. Maybe we really can take down all of Hive at once with it's entire leadership." Sara said and Constantine nodded.

"What's your strategy?" John asked.

"Darhk already knows there are intruders here, so might as well make our presence known and get this over with quickly. Mind sealing this room off?" Sara asked and Constantine grinned.

"With pleasure." Constantine said as he muttered a quick spell that caused every door in the room to slam shut.

"What was that?" Mina Fayad asked.

"It appears that I was right." Darhk said as Sara and Constantine made themselves known.

"You two aren't my Ghosts are you?" Darhk asked with a knowing smile.

"No, we're not." Sara said with a grin as Constantine dropped the glamor.

"Well, well, John Constantine, what brings you to my neck of the woods." Darhk asked.

"Oh you know, just sending bastards to hell. Trying to keep the mystic world from destroying this one." Constantine said.

"And you really think that you can stop me?" Darhk asked.

"No, she will." John said, nodding at Sara.

"Oh really, and what makes you think that you can do that?" Darhk asked.

"Because I am Ra's al Ghul." Sara said and Darhk burst out laughing.

"You're kidding right. You're Ra's al Ghul?" Darhk asked incredulously.

"Well technically no, but only because I gave the title to someone who actually wanted it. But I am the one who did what you couldn't. I killed that previous Ra's." Sara said and now Darhk looked more intrigued.

"Interesting turn of events. To think my old friend could be killed by someone who's practically a teenager." Darhk said.

"What are you waiting for Damien?" Fayad asked.

"Fine. I'll make this quick." Darhk said as he tried to use his magic on Sara, only for it to fail.

"How?" Darhk asked.

"I know a thing or two about magic, including how to defend myself against yours. But, then again, magic isn't the way of the League." Sara said.

"Excuse me?" Darhk demanded.

"A former horseman of the demon would never rely on magic to win a fight. So, I challenge you to formal league combat. Nothing but swords and our skills. Or are you too afraid of looking weak to your associates?" Sara said.

"I can help with that." Constantine said and before anyone could say a thing, he used his magic to launch lobs of hellfire at the other Hive heads, reducing them to ashes.

"Huh, you just spared me a lot of time, since now, Hive is all mine to control." Darhk said.

"Only if you survive a fight with me. Unless you're too scared." Sara taunted.

"I never back down from a fight. But are you sure about this?" Darhk asked.

"As long as you agree to League style combat, yes." Sara said.

"Okay, it's your funeral." Darhk said as he used his magic to summon two swords and tossed one of them to Sara.

"We'll see about that." Sara said as they circle each other before charging towards each other and their blades clashed as the fight began.
