History:
(Spirits of Vengeance I#2) - The demon Beleth drove into Gethsemane Flats to meet the sorcerer Necrodamus. Meeting at what appeared to be an old, abandoned factory or barn, Beleth wondered why he had to drive out into the middle of the boondocks to meet with such a low-tier sorcerer. Necrodamus suggested a short demonstration and led Beleth into the building, where a small number of angels were being held captive upside down. Necrodamus then bragged about a weapon that would end the timeless war between Heaven and Hell before presenting a gun which he used to apparently kill the captured angels, garnering Beleth's full attention.

(Spirits of Vengeance I#3) - While still in the abandoned factory/barn in Gethsemane Flats, Necrodamus explained to Beleth the history of the enchanted silver pieces he would use to kill more angels and how he came about them. Looking up at the deceased angels, Beleth responded that Necrodamus had killed foot soldiers and would need a good weapon if he intended to kill the archangel Michael at the covenant between Heaven and Hell.

(Spirits of Vengeance I#4 (fb) - BTS) - Gethsemane Flats was chosen at the site for the covenant between Heaven and Hell.

(Spirits of Vengeance I#4) - When the covenant began, Johnny Blaze and the vampire hunter Blade witnessed a burst of energy emanating far in the distance and, knowing the covenant would be that night, the two drove off on motorcycles towards Gethsemane Flats, passing the welcome sign as they entered the town. Portals from Heaven and Hell soon opened and the angel Michael emerged from Heaven's portal, with the demon Beleth emerging from Hell's portal.

(Spirits of Vengeance I#5) - Still in Gethsemane Flats, the angel Michael revealed rumors that Beleth had been colluding with another to undermine the covenant but Beleth insisted he had broken no rules. Meanwhile, Daimon Hellstrom and Satana regrouped with Johnny Blaze and Blade on the outskirts of Gethsemane Flats. Soon after, the sorcerer Necrodamus drove into town and the heroes set out to stop Necrodamus from entering the covenant.
