In the passageways beneath the park, where a group had gathered to break down a long-closed door, a laser beam was widening, and a broad circle began to blacken the surface of the wood, the locks melting and streaming down in shining rivulets, to puddle at the doorstep. The room was getting hot, now.

Outside, all at once, the rides all stopped. Animatronic figures jolted still; boats bumped each other confusedly; rollercoasters fell to the bottom of their tracks and did not continue up. The lights inside the buildings flickered off; the perpetual background noise of music and soundeffects went silent.

Below, the hole in the door began to crackle and spark around the edges, and for just a moment all the eyes trained on the door could see through it a fathomless darkness. An odd, organic silence filled the air; everyone's breathing and small movements were audible, but so too was a new absence of sound, as though the walls were all holding their breath.

And then the air around the door began to shimmer.

"Always glad for comp'ny," the younger man said cheerfully from the doorway. "'m Adam Young."

"John Constantine," he replied, lighting a fresh cigarette. "People always so tetchy around here or is my timing even worse than usual?"

"So I've been told," John said with a wry smile, thinking of Abby Holland. "And somehow I get this feeling like I'm a bit character coming in just in time for the season finale of some really cracked BBC miniseries."

"An' you're not used to bein' jus' a bit character," Adam replied thoughtfully. "I mean, everyone's the hero of their own story, but I get the feelin' you tend ta get into other people's stories more often than not."

John gave the kid a sharp look. Okay, so he was a perceptive little bastard if nothing else. Considering the other personalities who'd turned up around this place, the 'nothing else' was probably too much to hope for.

"Guess you could say that," he agreed after a moment. "What about you, then? Leading man or Best Supporting Actor?"

"Bit o' both, I s'pose," Adam said. "Or mebbe more of a deus ex machina..." The young man wasn't uneducated, omnipotence notwithstanding.

"Heh. Been there, done that." John chuckled. "So you just watching the door here to see what happens, or in case somebody needs a deus?"

He smiled mysteriously. "Oh, somebody will. Jus' wonderin' who."
