~6 years later~

After the fight and the destruction of the HQ in Switzerland, Overwatch was deemed illegal and all traces of the once great organization were wiped out. That lead for the seeds of Talon to grow without Overwatch to oversee the protection of the world. With the threat of the 2nd Omnic Crisis hanging over the world's head, one must ask. What happened to our heroes?

Everyone had moved on with their lives, forgetting Overwatch, but remembering the good, the bad, and the ugly. The ugly being the incident with Charles. Even to this day, Angela still frozen whenever she saw decorations of skeletons for halloween or pictures. She'd picture the same creature as before, staring her down. Looking into her very soul. She'd been a wreck, at home and work.

She would lay her head down at night, only for the Rider to appear. the same chilling voice, 'Your hands are stained.' He said. She would try to push him away, but his demonic presence always returned. She'd wake up in cold sweat, tears streaming down her face. She knew what he mean't by her hands being stained. She made Reyes who he was, or Reaper as he was now called on the news. Tonight was one such occasion.

Angela sat bolt up, clutching the sheets as the tears fell. 'It's all my fault.' She cried burying her face in her pillow. She removed the covers and walked to her kitchen in her nightgown. Angela made a cup of tea to help calm her nerves. But the skeleton, the Ghost Rider appeared, haunting her every moment.

Lost in thought, a knock was heard on her door. A few minutes pass until she registered the knock and the familiar voice of Jennie.

"Hey Angi, are you still awake?" She asked softly. Jennie had moved in with her after Overwatch fell and their activities deemed illegal. The young 29 year old female knocked again before Angela called out for her to enter. The doorknob opened to show the petite brown haired girl in her pajamas with a worried look on her face.

"Angi, you need to sleep." She said walking over and placing her cup of tea on the counter. "I know liebe, but the nightmare still resurfaces. I haven't gotten a wink of sleep." The Swiss doctor replied rubbing her eyes. Jennie sighed and held Angela close.

"It's alright Angi, he's not going to hurt you. Not while Charles is still in there." She said comforting the trembling angel.

'I hope you're right.' Angela thought.

~Secluded Church 3rd POV~

A man of 31 stumbled into the church and collapsed onto the floor. The Pastor heard the loud thunk and walked to see the fallen man.

"Child, are you alright?" The Pastor asked helping him onto the bench. "N-no, please, you need to help me." The man pleaded. The Pastor tensed before widening his eyes.

"Oh no, you have made a pact with Him. The MorningStar." He said backing away from him. "Please Father, help me." The man begged before clutching his stomach in pain.

"I cannot help those who made a deal with The Devil. Leave this holy ground beast!" He snapped at him.

"Please, I can't hold him in for any longer!" The man begged. Before the Pastor could say anything, the man screamed in pain before his flesh melted away, showing his skull and bone hands. He burst into flames and looked at the Pastor.

"A spirit of Vengeance, but-" The Pastor started before the spirit grabbed him by his collar. "You, you are not a pure soul. You have done things, horrible things, that deserve punishment." The Rider growled.

"God, save me!" The Pastor said before the Rider laughed manically. "There is no God where you're going." The Rider said before the Pastor exploded into fire and dust. The Rider stared into the ceiling of the church and roared. A robot monk happened to pass by the church and saw the Rider standing over the ask pile of the now dead Pastor. The Rider looked over his shoulder and growled lightly.

Unfazed, the robot monk floated over to the Rider and stared at him intently. "You have no soul, yet you believe you do." The Rider said. "Perhaps, I wish to be more than just a machine. I sense you are not of this world." The monk said.

Before the Rider could say anything, he fell to his knees and roared until the flesh mended itself back to the man's skull and hands. The fire dissipated and the man was normal. No fire, no skull. His hair returned to it's regular blonde shine. He opened his sea green eyes and blinked at the monk.

He collapsed and snored away. The monk chuckled lightly before hefting him off the floor and placed the sleeping man in his lap as he floated away.

~Several Hour's later~

The man awoke in a soft bed with a sheet over him. He pushed the sheet away to see he was still in his clothes. He black leather jacket covering his green shirt. His tan pants and brown boots. He yawned and rubbed his aching head. He sat up and walked outside to feel the cold blast of snow assault his neck. He didn't mind it, it helped cooled off the fire broiling under his skin. The fire of the Ghost Rider wanting freedom again.

"I am pleased to see you are awake sir. Please, follow me this way." Another robot monk said ushering him to follow. The man complied and followed the monk until he reached an opened area to see another monk with a cyborg man colored green.

"Ah, you are well I hope?" The same monk from before said as the cyborg turned to see him. "Good morning, I hope your slumber was peaceful." The green cyborg said.

"It would have been better, if I didn't see the past victims suffering from the Rider's wrath." The man said feeling his shoulder crack.

"May I ask, what is your name? You seem familiar." The green cyborg asked placing his hand on his chin.

"Charles, Charles Williams." The man said holding out his hand. The cyborg gasped lightly before hugging Charles.

"I thought you were dead Charlie! I am glad you are okay!" The cyborg said looking him over. "Forgive me, but who are you? After being possessed by the Rider for so long, my memories have begun to fade." Charles said.

"It's me, Genji, Genji Shimada. We met when you and Jennie were just small kids. You two were even Overwatch agents with us before the disbandment." Genji said smiling under his mask.

"Genji? Oh thank god, I thought you were killed during that battle." Charles said, holding the ninja close.

"I'm glad you are safe, this is my master Zenyatta." He said introducing the monk with them. Zenyatta nodded to him and shook his hand.

"But I must ask, what was that flaming creature?" Genji asked. Charles held his head down before sighing.

"I've told no one, but I made a deal with the Devil." He said. Genji gasped lightly while Zenyatta floated away a few.

"That creature, is the Ghost Rider. He is the Devil's bounty hunter. He hunts down the ones who deserve to be punished. His latest victim, was a pastor. He was a pedophile that did horrible things to the children that went to the church with their parents." Charles explained as he shook.

"The evils of that man's twisted mind flowed through my own." He said. Genji was the first to unfreeze and place a hand on his shoulder.

"When did you make this deal?" Zenyatta asked. "When we were leaving, and the car flipped. Jennie was unconscious but I saved her and brought her to the bushes while you guys fought off the assailants." Charles started. Genji nodded for him to continue as he recounted the events.

"Well, she was struck by a bullet and bleeding profusely. I cried out to anyone for help, but the man, the Devil answered my call. I only wanted to save her." He said as tears glistened his cheek. Genji watched as Charles cried, he didn't want this curse. He only wanted to save his sister.

Zenyatta floated over and placed his hand on Charles's shoulder. "Come, I can help teach you how to control this 'Rider' Mr. Williams." He said guiding the crying man inwards towards the temple. Genji followed and pitied Charles. He understood what it mean't to love ones sibling, even if he made Genji who he was today.

~5 months later~

After extensive training and concentration, Charles was able to master the ability to control the 'Hellfire' the Rider used. He was also able to transform in the shadows without the use of the night.

Charles was now concentrating on trying to stop the Rider's voice from whispering in his mind. "Calm, calm. Ignore his whispers." Zenyatta said. Charles struggled as the Rider whispered destructive thoughts.

'Shut up you demon.' Charles spat at the demon. The Rider hissed with laughter before silencing. Charles sighed in relief and showed a pained smile.

"I think I finally shut him up." Charles said with a laugh. Genji looked up from his meditation and nodded. Zenyatta nodded and floated over and placed his hand on Charles's shoulder.

"I think you are ready." Zenyatta said as Genji rose up. Just as he was going say something, a noise sounded in Genji's mask.

"Oh my." Genji said as he projected a screen showing Winston by a camera. "Hello, if you are getting this message, then that means Overwatch is being recalled. Despite the wishes of the UN and the PETRAS Act, the world needs Overwatch. We made a difference before, we can do it again. Are you with me?" The gorilla asked.

"Well, Master, Charles, ready to make a difference?" Genji asked. Charles looked at the ground and frowned.

"You guys are heroes, this power in me, it's evil. It will violate the meaning of being a 'hero'." Charles said turning around. Genji stopped him with a firm grasp on his shoulder.

"You managed to control this demon, that counts as hero in my book." He stated. Charles looked at him and smiled lightly.

"Thank you Genji. Now, I believe I have an angry sister to get to." Charles said laughing lightly. Genji nodded. The three departed towards the nearest airport leaving Nepal. As the trio boarded the plane, Charles was the first to sleep. Of course that didn't stop the Rider from whispering into his mind.

'There are multiple people here who need to be punished. Let me loose.' The Rider hissed. 'Shut up.' Charles said back. After a few hours, the trio made it to Gibraltar.

Thanks to Genji's GPS in his suit, they managed to find the deserted Watchpoint. As they approached the entrance, weapons could be heard clicking.

"Hold, this is a restricted area. Go back the way you came before you are fired upon. You have 5 seconds." A disfigured female voice could be heard. The voice had a bit of a cockney accent to it.

"3 seconds." The voice said. "My name is Genji Shimada. I answered the recall." The cyborg stated. After a minute of silence, the door clacked open and a blue light blinked though.

"Genji!" A familiar british voice squeaked out as the brunette threw her arms around Genji. "I've missed you luv!" She said with a smile. "And I too, Ms. Oxton." Genji replied with a hearty laugh.

"Who are these two?" She asked looking at Zenyatta and Charles. Before he could answer, a rustle was heard in the bushes. The four turned and saw a group of mercenaries and a man in a bone white mask appear.

"So, Overwatch has returned. I was beginning to think when you would show." The man rasped. Charles glared at them before taking a step forward.

"Leave, or you'll regret it." Charles demanded taking a step forward. The cool night air licked at his face. The man with the bone mask chuckled and stared at Charles.

"Haven't we met before?" The man asked. "My name's Reaper, you are?" Reaper said. "The man to see you burn." Charles said walking forward and bursting into flames as the Rider took control.

"To see you burn for all the innocents you've murdered." The Rider hissed. The mercenaries backed off in surprise and fear as the Ghost Rider made himself known again.

"I remember you, Gabriel Reyes." The Rider said. Reaper looked at him and clapped. "Huzzah, you remember my name. Let's cut the chase and get to the fighting." He said pulling out his shotguns. The Rider looked at the three and held his hand out.

"These scum are mine." The Rider said looking at them. Lena looked at the Rider intently. "Is that you Charlie?" She asked. The Rider looked at her and nodded. He looked back at Reaper and the mercenaries.

"Your hands are stained with the blood of the innocent. Prepare to feel their pain!" The Rider roared and walked forward. Reaper aimed his weapons and unloaded the clips into the spirit of Vengeance. The Rider chuckled before finding a loose chain on the ground. He grabbed it and flowed his power through the metal as it caught fire. He spun it around and around before wrapping it around one of the grunts. He screamed in pain before dissolving into a pile of dust.

The rest of the grunts looked at the pile and dropped their weapons before taking off. Reaper scowled at the fleeing grunts and growled.

"So much for backup." He said before wraithing away. The Rider looked to the sky and roared. He heard footsteps approached and looked to see Zenyatta, Genji, Lena, Winston, Angela, and Jennie staring at him.

"Charlie?" Jennie asked walking up to him. He turned his head as the fire died down to a blue. "Monster." He said before Jennie grabbed his shoulder and forced the Rider to stare at her. "I'm taking to my brother, not you." She said. The Rider nodded as the flesh and skin reappeared to show the 31 year Charles Williams.

"Hiya." She said hugging him. Charles smiled and held his sister close. "I'm sorry for abandoning you, all of you. I did it to protect you from this power." He said looking at the assembled agents. Angela walked over and smiled at him. Charles's heart fluttered as his childhood crush smiled and cupped his cheek. His face flushed red, but not Ghost Rider red.

"I'm glad you are here liebes." She said. "Well, I am glad to be back here. I hope to use this power for justice now." Charles replied leaning into her palm.

"Ugh, just kiss you two." Jennie said before walking back. Now both Angela and Charles's faces were bright red.

"Well, it was bound to happen sometime." Angela said before planting a soft kiss on Charles's lips making the man melt with embarrassment. The agents laughed as Angela parted lips and walked away back inside the base.
