Having not eaten in so long just a few bags of chips is enough the make her incredibly ill and collapse behind the dumpster suffering from refeeding syndrome. This could kill her and the Elemental bound to her soul knows it, trying to escape from her body and sending resonances of magic out as it attempts this.

Resonances in magic a watchful wizard from Liverpool currently hiding in Gotham City might pick up. And so the signature of an elemental makes one of John Constantine’s many medallions crackle with sparks and pull towards something. John scries the location of this magical signature on a map and puts on his motorcycle helmet. Something like that probably shouldn't be left wandering Gotham.

John drives his motorcycle to the address he scried and he uses the medallion to pinpoint exactly where the signature is coming from leading him to a dumpster behind an alley. There he finds a rail-thin girl occasionally sparking with static, seems he found his elemental. He checks her vitals and checks a few diagnostic charms and realises there is an elemental stuck inside this young girls soul and if she wasn’t already going to die then the elementals attempts to free itself so it wouldn’t die with her would kill her. He does a quick chant to quiet the elemental, wraps the girl in his jacket, and brings her back to his flat.

He uses what little healing magic and first-aid he has access to right now (he is a little low on materials) on her and makes sure she is warm and leaves her on the couch hoping she pulls through. Just in case she does die and that frees the elemental he draws a magic circle around her to keep it from escaping the flat and causing havoc.

He has done all he can, all thats left is to see if she makes it.

She stays unconscious the rest of that day and into the next, but eventually when he checks he'll find her awake, watching him warily.

He is also watching her warily, having an elemental bound to ones soul was not normal. “Hello there kid...you almost died.” And John really can’t think of anytying else to say right at this moment. He slowly comes over and takes the nutrient drip he rigged up out of her arm and breaks the the saltline making the magic circle around her with his shoe.

She tenses up when he approaches, but doesn't otherwise respond.

Backs off after hes done taking out the IV. “So you dont have to tell me if you dont want to...but uhhh...how did you end up like that?” He pulls out some nicotene gum to chew.

She relaxes slightly when he backs off, and shifts to pull her arm under the blanket. Doesn't take her eyes off him, though, and still doesn't say anything.

“Can you tell me your name? Doesn’t have to be your real name just something to call you...” Names did have power after all. But hey the kid almost starved to death then ate too much too fast and has a bloody fucking elemental living inside her, he can understand if she doesn’t feel up to talking just yet.

She doesn't immediately answer this, either, but the way her eyes narrow suggest she's thinking about it, and after a couple seconds she offers "'anet." (She's got a toddler's enunciation, but her tone is confident, deliberate, with an undertone of frustration.)

“Okay Anet. Have trouble speaking? You can shake and nod your head if that is easier to communicate with if you want.” John is used to magically induced brain damage so he isn’t visibly shocked or looking all condescendingly pityingly at her or anything.

"Mm."

“So...did you know about the...sparking you were doing when I found you?” Not mentioning elementals in case that makes him sound even more crazy right now.

She tenses up again, and looks away from him for the first time as she curls in on herself a little.

“Hey, I deal with stuff like this all the time, no judgement here.” Hands up palms out in a gesture of harmlessness.

She doesn't uncurl, but shuts her eyes instead.

“Some of my best friends had elemental powers, It’s okay.” Oh shit what does he do? He has no idea how to salvage this she seems to just be getting more upset.

She opens her eyes again, still very wary.

“Uhh yeah a friend called alec is bonded with the representation of all plant life, he lives in a swamp and can control plant life.” Trying to keep her interest and stop her from shutting down, sketching a quick circle in chalk and nicking his finger over it so it bleeds a litlle. There is a flash and a little blue flame shows up.

“See, totally normal powers and nothing you have to afraid of me judging you for.” Well unless she sacrificed someone to get the powers then he would judge her but that wasn’t usual with elementals.

She makes a face when he nicks his finger, and flinches outright at the flame, but she's still watching.

“So yeah, powers. Don’t freak out at me knowing since now you know I can do stuff too.”

Kids are so hard, he just wants to explain the dangers of having an elemental to her and kick her out the door with some groceries and a map to the nearest shelter. But noooo that would be “irresponsible” and “mean”.

And also she would probably die, given givens.

She keeps watching him; she's at least a little less upset, but still very wary, like she's waiting for something bad to happen.

“So can you control your sparking? Does it...hurt you?” Messing with souls is better not attempted but if the Elemental is doing enough harm to her...might be worth the risk. He didnt see any electrical burns on her though.

She considers the question for a long moment, then wiggles her hand out from under the blanket again and, when it's clear, sends sparks playing across the skin. They don't get close to the blanket and she doesn't seem to be in pain, though she only keeps it up for a few seconds before dropping her arm back down to the couch cushion.

John looks relieved and leans back running his hands through his hair. “Well that’s good then. The uhhh...thing giving you those sparks was causing some damage before when you were close to dying, but now you are a little better it seems to be fine.”

She doesn't seem to like that very much.
