Sorry if the title promises the (under) world but I wanted to get my geek on as the writers of Lucifer have started writing season 3. I wanted to give them some inspiration as us Hellblazers need more John Constantine.

So here is an idea for my Lucifer episode.

A person is being murdered by an unknown killer, the murderer’s hands are tight around the victim’s neck squeezing every last bit of life out of them. The body falls lifeless to the floor and as the camera pans away shadows of the body being gutted can be seen.

As Lucifer and Chloe start to investigate this murder, reports come in that more and more body’s are being found strangled and gutted in similar fashion. Chloe says to Lucifer “Looks like we have a serial killer on our case”.

Before they even arrive at the next murder scene a report comes in that the murderer has been found. They both race over to where the killer has been found, a dark damp warehouse. The big reveal is that Lucifer and Chloe find a man in blood soaked black trousers, white shirt and beige trench coat. John Constantine is lying on the floor without any knowledge of what has just happened.

Lucifer smiles and says “Chloe this is John Contanstine, exorcist, demonologist and petty dabbler of the dark art”

Chloe says “you know this killer?”

Lucifer replies “He’s an arse but he’s no killer”

As John is prime suspect he is locked up, and as the murders stop immediately this does not help his case. Chloe still has her reservations about Constantine and he cannot prove his credentials because “something or someone has drained his energy” thus cannot petty dabble anything at the moment. Also it turns out John Constantine is still a wanted man, he has killed before and has been locked up for the murders. [side note] He escaped the prison in NBC’s Constantine (episode 9 “The Saint of Last Resorts, Part 2”).

Lucifer speaks to John and try’s to find out the truth, John explains the last thing he remembers was pursuing a demon in Hell. He was surprised that the gates of hell were wide open and Lucifer was nowhere in sight. Lucifer then explains what he has been up to in LA. [Side note] John mentioning his time in Hell ties up with a recent episode of Arrow (Series 4 episode 15 ‘Taken’).

John Diggle: What about Constantine?

Oliver Queen: He’s in Hell.

Thea Queen: Really? What’s going on?

Oliver Queen: I mean, he’s actually literally in Hell.

Chloe still has reservations about John but trusts Lucifer and analyses the bodies found. Something doesn’t sit well, she notices hot brand markings on the victims hearts. As Lucifer is bi-lingual and knows his way around ancient symbols she interrupts his one on one with John to decipher it.

Lucifer has seen the marking before but is not sure, it looks like a large ‘S’ shape. He advises Chloe to go to the local library and research the symbol in their early edition of the Old Testament. After many unsuccessful hours Chloe has drawn a blank, after she is about to give up she has a realisation that the symbol is not an ‘S’ but a picture of a snake. She rushes back to tell Lucifer what she has found.

Lucifer then realises it the symbol for the Serpent Demon [side note] same demon from (episode 9 “The Saint of Last Resorts, Part 2”). He has escaped hell and wants revenge on John Constantine. After discussing this with John, Lucifier knows what he has to do.

After telling Chloe to leave them alone he invokes the sleeping demon deep within John and the final battle commences. John Constantine (well Serpent Demon) against Lucifer. Lucifers strength against one of the oldest demons housed within a petty dabbler of

the dark art.

I hope you enjoyed wishful thinking, maybe the powers at be enjoyed it too.
