The message from Marinette had come out of the blue and it was enough to pique John's innate curiosity. What could the girl have in her possession that required the kind of protection only he could provide? well, he was about to find out. He slid his phone back into his pocket and left a quick note for Natasha before leaving their room and heading onwards.

With the majority of the hotel locked up, the place felt like a tinderbox of unspent energy, which to John was a source he could quite easily tap for use in any magics to come. For now, he was focused on work, on Marinette and her problems, leaving the rest soundly behind him.

By the time he reached his destination he was twitchy with excitement, wondering what new project he'd have to occupy his time now that the anchors were dealt with. He couldn't help but be enthused by the prospect as he knocked on the door. John gave a curious smile as the youth answered.

"John Constantine, at your service," he said with a slightly affected bow. "Now, exactly how can I help you?"

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Tikki asked as she floated up from where she was so she could be at eye level with Marinette.

"No? Yes. I don't know. I just know that I can't let anyone find the box and this is the only thing I can think of." Marinette could see that Tikki was worried but she didn't know what else to do right now. The miracle box couldn't fall into the wrong hands. This was the only way she knew how to protect it. "It'll be okay," she reassured Tikki right as the knock came. "Tikki, hide," she said quickly as she stood up and went to the door. Once Tikki was out of sight, she opened it.

Marinette gave Constantine a once over. She wasn't getting any bad vibes from him. "Come in," she moved out of the way and once he was inside, she hut the door. "Well, like I said I need a box or something to protect something that arrived from home."

As John waited for Marienette to open the door he could swear he heard two voices but he wasn't about to swear on it. For all he knew her roommate was around and the girl was attempting to get her out of the picture, though when the door was opened there was just one girl.

He stood more upright as Marinette interrogated him with her eyes, wondering if she was looking for an excuse, or a reason, to deny him entry. When she stepped back he gave her a small smile, "thanks," John replied, his eyes scanning the room for another person and coming up with nothing. He sat down on one of the beds and looked at the girl, all business.

"So show me this thing from home and explain to me what it is," John suggested, "and then I can give you a more informed consultation. If I know what I'm working with, I can work out what's required," he said in his most professional manner.
