Chapter 18

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.

"Mmmm, 5 more minutes." He said still sleeping. "Charlie, if you don't wake up, we'll miss our flight back to the Watchpoint." Angela said still shaking him. Charles stirred from his sleep ad sighed.

"Fine, I guess returning to saving the world is a priority. Luxury is but a pastime pleasure." Charles said getting up and heading into the bathroom. Angela began to pack her clothes for the return flight. Charles walked out, dressed appropriately and helped with packing all their belongings and exiting the building as their taxi waited for them.

"Thank you, Angela. This was an amazing vacation. I actually needed this." Charles admitted with a smile.

"See, I told you a few weeks from base would help you." Angela said kissing his cheek. Charles laughed lightly as they arrived at the airport. The two left the taxi with their baggage and boarded their plane. The ride home, Charles was able to get a few hours of sleep in as Angela read from a book. She glanced over and smiled at the sleeping form of Charles.

'He looks so peaceful, a shame he must share his psyche with a demon.' She thought before returning her attention back to her book. The plane made it's landing at Gibraltar Airport as Angela woke Charles from his sleep.

"Liebes, we're here." She spoke softly. Charles stirred and stretched. The two gathered their belongings and disembarked from the plane. They then began their long trek back to the Watchpoint. As the two entered, Lena, Hana, and Lucio were the first to greet them.

"Morning luvs, how was Switzerland?" Lena asked with her usual cheeky smile. Hana and Lucio smiled as Charles told them their adventure.

"Woah! So there is another elemental user? I thought your dad was the only one. I didn't know this 'Snow' was an Ice elemental." Hana said with sparkles in her eyes. Lucio laughed and skated away to inform everyone else of their arrival. Lena blinked off towards Lucio as Hana skipped away, probably to stream or something else.

The two made their way to their room. Charles opened the door and sighed. "Home sweet home." He said opening his bag and depositing his clothes in their respective drawers. Angela walked to the window and stared of at the sun. The frost already starting to creep it's way over the window.

'Home sweet home indeed.' Angela thought. She looked over and watched as Charles struggled to put the suitcase back in the closet. One fell and hit his head.

"Oh come on!" He growled and bent over to pick it up, causing the rest to fall and clatter around him. He looked down before dropping to his knees.

"Why have you forsaken me God?" He asked with an exasperated breath. Angela giggled at his attempts before he shot her a look.

"It's not funny! Can I have some help please?" He asked making Angela giggle even more. "Because you asked so nicely, yes I will help you." She said walking over to him and began to put the suitcases back in their right places. Charles smiled before grabbing her hand and twirling her around, making her squeak. He stopped so she looked at him as he held her close.

"Thank you, mi'lady." He said with a smile. "Quite the gentleman are you now?" Angela asked with a grin.

"Only for the most beautiful girl in the world." He said leaning forward and kissing her. Angela melted in the kiss before a knock was heard on their door. The two broke the kiss as Charles growled lightly and walked over to the door. He swung open the door to see Jack standing their.

"Jack." Charles said with a nod. "Hello Charlie, Angela. I'd like to welcome you back and hopefully with new information about Snow." He said making Charles go ridged.

"And?" He asked. Jack removed his mask to show bags under the old soldier's eyes. "Well, Snow, she is your mother Charlie. We thought she perished along with David but they were taken by Talon, brainwashed and experimented on. They have these powers because of Talon scientists." Jack said as Charles stepped back.

"So you never bothered to look for her? You thought they had perished from some skirmish in past missions? YOU NEVER BOTHERED!!!" Charles roared as he grabbed Jack but his collar and slammed him in the wall.

"Charlie!"Angela yelled. Charles turned to her as his skin began to turn red as Hellfire burned through and the power of the Rider surged through him.

"To think I held this group with high praise. Only to know it was all false. Not even going to look for them!?" Charles yelled. Agents ran towards the commotion and watched as the Ghost Rider held Jack in his bony hands.

"I'm sorry Charles, I didn't know honestly! I was just as confused as you are when David came back!" Jack said. Charles snapped his head back to him and growled.

"How long did you know?" Charles asked. "Since, you joined Overwatch. Before we ended." Jack said. David walked over and held his hands up.

"Charles, stand down son. Please." David pleaded. Charles looked at him and glared.

"This scum knew you and Mom were alive. They kept it a secret from me and Jennie!" Charles retorted.

"We did this because we were trying to find a way to save them." Ana said. Charles was conflicted with his feelings and watched as the agents stood at the ready, some with surprised expressions and others with guilt ridden faces. He looked at Lena, who avoided his gaze.

"You too Aunt Lena. Why am I not surprised." He said dropping Jack. "You should have told us, that way I could have helped. Not until I had this power." Charles growled.

"We didn't know about the highway attack. Talon took us by surprise." Reinhardt said. "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Charles said as the Hellfire dissipated. Skin began to regrow back on his hands and skull as the sad face of Charles showed.

"You all lied to me." He said before walking down the hall. "Charlie." David said before Charles glared at him,

"I'll talk to him." Jennie said running after him. She followed her brother to the tree on the Cliffside. He sat under the tree, not bothered by the cold. She could faintly hear soft cries coming from him.

"They lied to us Jennie. They said Mom and Dad died, when they were taken by Talon. Just like Ms. Lacroix." He said as she sat down next to him.

"They did it to protect us Charlie. We were too young to understand." Jennie said. Charles raised his head as tears made tracks down his cheeks. She clicked her tongue and wiped them away.

"I know they would never lie to us, unless it was absolutely necessary." "I just wish they told us, so we could have became agents before the incident on the highway." Charles replied. The visions returning, the smell of smoke, the sound of gunfire, the wet texture of her blood seeping through his fingers. David walked over to them and sighed.

"I'm sorry Charles, but me and your mother decided that the life of an Overwatch agent was not meant for you two. We didn't want you running headlong into danger. We were only looking out for your safety." David said sitting down next to them. Charles looked at him before sighing.

"I understand, but I wish they would have at least tell us. I would have join Overwatch, but only as a communicator or someone that stayed at base." Charles said. David held his head down before pulling the two into a group hug.

"I know son, but this was our decision. But since you are stubborn, just like your mother, we'll save her. Together." David said. Jennie smiled and looked at Charles as he contemplated the decision.

"Okay, together." Charles said as the three sat, huddled together. 'Don't worry mom, we'll find you.' He thought as they watched the sun begin to set.

~Talon HQ~

"God damn it, now there is another Rider." Sombra said. "Well, I guess there is more to our new demon friend than what we thought." Snow replied. Reaper walked up to the two and crossed his arms.

"Where were you two?" He demanded. "Busted." Snow whispered to her. "We were doing some recon, the Williams boy and Doctor were in Switzerland. We thought if we were to snuff them out, then we wouldn't have to worry about the demon." Sombra reported. Reaper growled before sighed.

"Well, were you successful?" He asked. Sombra and Snow looked at each other before looking back at Reaper.

"I'll take your silence as no. Well, no matter. We'll deal with him on our own terms. I'm just glad to see you both okay. Especially you, Julie." Reaper said before leaving.

"Who's Julie?" Snow asked. "No one that should matter to you, get some rest." Sombra ordered before leaving.

Snow raised an eyebrow before heading to a computer. She pulled up the database and looked for this Julie.

"Time to see who you are." She said.
