Charles exited his room as he placed a new shirt on. 'Damn Ice woman.' He complained as he tossed his destroyed jacket and shirt in the trash.
"So, Mr. Williams, you're the new incarnation of Bonehead. What you sell your soul for?" Johnny asked sipping some tea. Angela sat on the chair across from her as she crossed her legs.
"It was to save my dying sister when I was 15 years old." Charles said grabbing some tea. Johnny nodded.
"I understand your choice, I commend you for your bravery. Reminds me of when I did the same thing." Johnny said placing his cup on the table. Angela and Charles looked at each other with a confused look.
"You had a sister?" Charles asked. "Haha, no my boy, I made the deal to save my now deceased father." Johnny said frowning.
"I take it something happened?" Angela asked. "Yes indeed, my father was ridden with cancer." Johnny said. Charles frowned as he continued.
"Well, in an effort to save him, I contacted the devil to save him. He accepted, but with a twist. When my father was to do a jump, something happened and he crashed, dying instantly." Jonny finished. Charles held his head down as he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I am sorry for your loss." Charles said. Johnny looked at him and smiled. "Thank you, I am glad you sacrificed your life for something good instead of greed or selfishness. You were selfless, so that makes your Rider more powerful than others." He said.
"More powerful?" Angela asked. "When someone sells their soul, it's usually for something selfish. Money, power, women. But when someone like you sells their soul for a loved one, they are bestowed with more power. Making Riders such as yourself and I more better than the run-of-the-mill Riders. Like Mr. Jackson for instance." Johnny explained. Angela nodded as Charles sat on the couch.
"So, what you're saying is that I could kill other Riders?" Charles asked. "In a way, yes you can." Johnny replied. Charles glanced at Angela as she sighed.
"Well, thanks for saving us from those Talon goons Mr. Blaze. But me and Charlie are on a 5 week vacation." Angela said getting up and walking towards the door.
"I understand, I'll be getting out of your hair. But if you need any insight of the Ghost Rider, call me up kid." Johnny said giving him a paper with his number. Angela opened the door as Johnny nodded and exited. Angela glanced at Charles with a raised eyebrow.
"What?" Charles asked. "You're not seriously considering to ask him to join Overwatch. We already have one flaming skeleton." Angela said.
"He could prove to be an ally. Like Arsenal is." Charles said crossing his arms. "Well Arsenal likes to work alone, I'm pretty sure that Blaze is the same way." Angela retorted. Charles sighed and walked to the window as he watched the older man ride off on his motorcycle.
'Good, He is a traitor to us Riders.' The Rider said. 'Why would you say that?' Charles asked. 'Considering he betrayed all us Riders, you might say there is a rift.' The Rider replied. Charles sighed and watched as Angela walked to the kitchen and began to prepare dinner for the two.
"You hungry Charlie?" Angela called, shaking him from his thoughts. "Huh, of yeah dear." He replied as he lowered his eyes. He couldn't stop thinking about Johnny, with another Rider they could end this little war between Talon and the reforming Overwatch. Maybe, even the battle between humans and omnics.
~End of 5 week vacation~
"Come on Charlie, time to return to work." Angela said shaking the still sleeping man. Charles battered her hand away and snuggled in deeper.
