"Okay, now calm down, we can explain." Genji said as Angela, Jennie, Lena, Winston, Zenyatta, and himself stood protectively in front of Charles. The blond man looked to the ground as the rest of the agents stood with crossed arms and angry, distrustful glares.

"Yeah, go ahead and explained why we have a freaking fire skeleton on our team WITHOUT telling us about him!" Lucio yelled. Hana and Mei nodded in approval. The rest of the agents murmured amongst themselves.

"Listen, he's been trained to control the Ghost Rider." Genji said. "So, who cares if Charles was able to control It, why were we not told of him?" Fareeha asked. Angela sighed and moved forward.

"Because, we thought this was the last time we would see the Rider." She said grasping Charles's arm. He sighed and walked into the shadows. Before anyone could say anything, The Rider came forth and looked at them.

"I am not here to make friends, I could kill you all right now if I wanted to." He growled making some of the agents ready their weapons. The Rider stared the agents before continuing.

"I am on this earth to punish those who've spilt innocent blood. The only reason I don't kill most of you here is the will of Charles, my host. I honor him by sparing you all here. Including her." He said pointing a flamed finger towards Angela. She froze and felt the same fear those years ago. The Rider stared at her before changing back in Charles.

"You mind warning me next time when you're going to possess me?" Charles asked rubbing his head. Angela stood in her place as the image of the Rider rekindled in her mind. Her breathing hitched as Charles stood where the Rider once was. 

"How did you come to get this, Ghost Rider?" Reinhardt asked. Charles looked to Genji and Zenyatta for guidance. The robot monk nodded. Charles took a deep breath before exhaling.

"Where do I begin?" Charles asked sitting on a chair. "How about the beginning." Jennie said rubbing his shoulder to calm his nerves. He rubbed his face and sighed. 

"Well, it happened in the beginning. Back when we were kids." He said looking at Jennie. "You mean?" She started before he nodded.

"When we were coming back from that party when you and Jack took us in, trained us, made us apart of this family." He said looking to Angela and Ana.

The older members remembered that day, when a group of assailants had ambushed them. "After the initial attack, I had awoken with a head injury, but I was still able to walk. Jennie was hanging by her seatbelt as gunfire hazed through the area." Charles said taking a shakily breath. Jennie comforted him before he continued.

"I had managed to get her out of the belt and drag her to safety. I hadn't know she sustained a bullet wound in her back. I cried out for Jack, Angela, anyone to help me. But no one heard me. Except him." He said as tears raced down his cheeks.

"The man, or the Devil as I soon found out, came and knelt next to me. He told me he could save her, but for a price." Charles said shakily as tears fell down faster.

"I was young, I didn't have any sense except for your safety. So I, sold my soul to him." He finished. He calmed his breathing and his tears stopped. He looked to see Jennie with a shocked expression along with the agents.

"I did it to save you Jennie, I never knew he would imbued me with this demon." He said pleading with her. She continued to stare at him before he expression softened to a warm smile.

"I'm sorry that you are forced to deal with this 'Spirit of Vengeance', but I am glad you did it out of love." She said pulling the sniveling man in for a hug. Angela and the rest of the agents got over their initial shock before Soldier 76 walked forward and knelt in front of Charles.

"Son, what you did, you shouldn't be ashamed of. You are a hero, for that I honor you." He said hugging him. Charles's eye widen at the sudden hug. Soldier 76 was never for one of personal comfort, but he had a vibe that Charles seemed to recall.

"Thank you, Jack." He whispered in 76's ear. Jack's blue eyes flickered to Charles's face as he smiled at him through his visor. He nodded before walking off to his room as the agents unfroze and murmured amongst themselves. Lucio was the first to clear his throat.

"I-I would like to apologize, I didn't know so my intentional reaction was to be angry. I mean, I was just a DJ before I became what I was. I never knew the burden that you carried." Lucio apologized. Jennie glared at the DJ before Charles placed a hand on her shoulder.

"It's not your fault, I understand." He said nodding to the DJ. Fareeha looked at Charles and sighed. 

"I am sorry shaqiq Charlie, I never meant to discourage you." She said as tears fell down her face. Charles smiled warmly and brought her in close. He kissed her head as she cried into his shoulder.

"It's okay 'ukht." Charles said remembering the teaching Ana and Fareeha taught him in his language classes. She looked up at him and smiled.

"There's that smile." He said giving her one last kiss on her head before she returned to her mother's side.

"No matter what, we are in this together Charlie." Jennie said hugging him close. Lena blinked next to Jennie and hugged both the siblings. The rest of the agents huddled in and hugged Charles as he giggled. Angela walked forward as the agents parted for the angelic woman. She smiled at him before she pulled him up, making him yelp.

She giggled and wrapped her arms around him and gave him a passionate kiss. Everyone laughed and 'awwwed' them. Charles didn't mind, when he was with Angela, he was always in heaven.

A/N: Sorry for such a short chapter. I do hope you enjoyed it though. But that Sombra short, I'M SO FUCKING HYPED FOR HER :D I've had enough of that damn ARG. Just release the character! Also, I might not update tomorrow because I might hopefully be watching Dr. Strange. I love Marvel films, I can't wait for Logan. Sadly it will be Hugh Jackman's last perfor
