Mercury and John as they appeared in Rebirth.
During DC's rebirth event, the character of Mercury makes her first appearance in The Hellblazer: Rebirth. Mercury, now a grown-up teen, helps John when the Magus was fighting against a powerful demon who had cursed him. The curse was that as long as John stays in London, his soul will be ripped away from his body, killing him. This forced John to leave London to New York. But after his adventures in Constantine: The Hellblazer, John decided to return.
Although it was shown that Mercury harbored disdain against John, she nonetheless helps him when the magus threatened to spread the curse throughout London, killing all of its inhabitants.
Mercury uses her telepathy to discover the demon's name and informs John, who then uses it to bluff the demon into removing the curse and forcing him back to Hell.
