3rd Person POV

Sean and Barbara were currently riding down Gotham's side streets, sticking mainly to the shadows as Sean stood out a lot with being on fire. Driving down side-street, Barbara's bike began to flash, indicating that an alert came into the GCPD. Sean heard this and stopped his bike when Barbara did with her's

"Got something?" asked the half-demon vigilante as he looked behind him. Barbara nodded as the alert was still coming.

"All units, be on alert, Slade Wilson has entered the city and has made an alliance with Poison Ivy. They are considered extremely dangerous and should not be cornered." Advised the officer over the police radio. Sean raised an eyebrow as he had heard of Ivy, but not so much of Slade, putting him on edge as new enemies are dangerous. Sean revved his engine, getting Barbara's attention as he wanted to be sure as to what we were walking into. She nodded and put her bike in gear and sped off ahead of me. Following suit and performing a wheelie till Sean caught up with her. He then let the front wheel down and pulled next to her.

"I've heard of Ivy before from some old newspapers or on a Gotham news channel and yes we do have Gotham news in Detroit," said Sean while making a tight turn at an intersection, Barbara also holding her position in the turn,

"What about Slade though? Never heard of him." Sean continued as he pulled passed a small family car that was in front of him.

"Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke is one of Batman's enemies. A gun for hire who is incredibly effective and has a sort of rivalry with Batman," explained Barbara as she drove ahead.

"Never really faced him myself, but heard from Alfred that Deathstroke is no one to take lightly." Sean took those words to heart as he and Barbara had driven ahead and towards an old greenhouse, one suspected to be Ivy's hideout. They both parked their bikes outside the greenhouse, Sean reaching into a side bag that was on his bike and grabbed a set of sunglasses. Putting them on as he did not want to have his identity known to a hired gun who was good enough to give Batman a hard time. Barbara crept over to the side of the building and fired a grappling hook to the ledge just above her. Sean took out one of his hooks, swinging it above his head before swinging it to the same ledge and the hook catching a pipe that was on top of the roof. Barbara winched herself using the motor on her grapple while Sean just pulled himself up using the enhanced strength he possessed.

Once on the roof, Barbara and Sean walked over to a hatch which Sean forced up using his scythe, slicing the lock off and using the handle to wedge the hatch open. Sean dropped through and landed as quietly as possible and waited for Barbara to follow. She landed on the ground, albeit quieter than Sean, being lighter and more used to making quiet landings. Walking on the platform, the two could see the greenhouse was home to a very impressive plant, most likely thanks to Ivy. One the ground floor was Ivy who was tending to some of her plants while Deathstroke patrolling around the floor along with some thugs, most likely some grunts hired by Deathstroke to assist in whatever they're doing.

"You almost done over there? I don't like being in one place too long," demanded Deathstroke as he looked around the greenhouse, Sean and Barbara ducking behind some pipes to avoid being seen.

"Batman is likely to show up at some point, if not himself then one of his jr.s will." Sean could see all his crimes his ever committed, several murders, assassinations, attacks, and thefts. He was losing control at an incredible rate, hunching over holding his head as he felt his temperature increase. Barbara saw this and decided to use the time it takes for Sean to transform and give the crooks a chance to survive. Jumping down and grappling to a girder then slowing her descent. Barbara effectively caught the attention of the entire room.

"Slade and Ivy, I suggest you surrender." stated Barbara as she crossed her arms as she waited for a response. Said response was some laughter from both villains.

"And why should we do that? We outnumber you and there is no Batman to save you now that you're all alone." taunted Deathstroke as he readied his rifle. Barbara rolled her eyes as that was a poor decision.

"Well in case you have not heard, the League found a new meta-human. One that is not to be taken lightly in any way thought out." warned Barbara as she held her ground.

"And who might that be?" asked Ivy as she manipulated one of her plants to grow to a larger sort of animal than plant as it growled and bared sharp teeth. Slade then noticed a burning smell and a sort of flash from the roof. Looking up, he and the other thugs saw Sean jump down and land in front of Barbara, scythe in hand and eyes glowing through the sunglasses.

"Slade Wilson. I've heard a lot about you." stated Sean as he looked up at Slade. Deathstroke seemed hardly impressed that he knew his name.

"If you're trying to impress me by saying my name, boy you have a long way to go." sneered Deathstroke as he looked down at Sean through his mask. Sean stood up as he continued to glare at the man, smoke emanating from him, the smell of burning flesh getting stronger.

"Then you will change your mind when I'm through with you and you runts." retorted Sean, an inhuman growl following his threat. This put Ivy on edge as she moved closer to her pet.

"You don't want to do that." reasoned Ivy as she backed up a pace. Sean merely took off his glasses, his eyes glowing bright orange and his flesh around his face turning charcoal.

"Yes, I do," stated the adult, curling his head to the left and groaning while still walking to the two villains. At this point, his flesh was all burned up and gone from his skull, which was on fire. He roared at the monster Ivy created, who had a fearful expression at what she was looking at. Deathstroke's response was shifting his gun in his arms, then firing a grenade at Sean who was now the rider. The grenade exploded on impact but did literal no injury to the spirit of vengeance.

"TIME TO PAY FOR YOUR SINS." stated the Rider, hefting his Scythe in his hands then leaping at Deathstroke who dropped his rifle and pulled out his sword to deflect the larger weapon. Some of the grunts hired by Deathstroke began to open fire on Ghost Rider, who whipped around and sent out his chain and sliced a grunt in half, turning him to ash. The other grunts stopped firing to look at the scorch mark of where their teammate once stood. Barbara used this distracting and threw several batarangs at the distracted grunts and proceeded to engage them hand to hand. Ivy got over her own shock and command her pet to attack Rider. The massive plant rose up from the ground and slithered over to Rider who was hacking away at Deathstroke who was surprisingly struggling against the demon. Ghost Rider then thrust the scythe out and knocked Deathstroke back a few feet. Rider was about to pursue but a low growl made him turn around to face a massive plant monster that roared into his face, causing the flames to wave in the wind. Rider seemed unimpressed and reared his head back and let out a huge bone-chilling roar in return.

The monster actually backed off in fear and returned to its master fearful of the fire demon.

"Okay, now I'm impressed." said Deathstroke as he regained his stance from the early impact to his chest.

"SPEAKS MY LANGUAGE." added Ghost Rider who then continued to attack the mercenary. Barbara had by now dealt with the grunts and turned her attention to Ivy who also had her attention on her. Ivy attacked first, sending some vines towards Barbara who used her grapple to avoid the vines. Once in the air, she threw some knockout pellets to gas Ivy. Ivy could not react fast enough to avoid the pellets and took a lung full when they exploded around her. Ivy came stumbling out and fell to the ground unconscious. Barbara landed next to Ivy and placed some cuffs on her, but returned her attention to a yell of pain at the other end of the greenhouse. But a growl from the plant monster created by Ivy drew her attention from the cry of pain. Pulling out some explosives, Barbara jumped up and over the abomination and threw the explosives at the back of the monsters head. The explosives severed the head from the rest of the body and the plant fell to the ground, dead.

"Now to see what Sean's done." muttered Barbara to herself, and ran to the other end of the greenhouse. When she rounded a corner she saw Deathstroke holding his right arm, which was trickling blood, while Ghost Rider stalked towards the injured man. The Rider dragged his scythe towards his next victim, who was walking backwards away from the Rider.

"Rider!" yelled Barbara as she tried to get his attention, however, her plea fell on deaf eyes. The Rider continued to the injured man and swung the back end of the blade against Deathstroke's leg, causing him to fall on his back. He tried to get up, but the Rider planted a boot on his chest, pinning him to the ground.

"TIME TO BURN." stated the Rider and lifted the scythe into the air, ready to slice Deathstroke in half.

"Rider!" Barbara yelled again, this time gaining his attention. He turned to Barbara, his orange eyes burrowing into her.

"We need him alive. There are things he has to pay for but killing him would be too merciful. Please, let the police have him." pleaded Barbara as she looked at the Rider. The Rider looked between Deathstroke and Barbara, he snarled and swung down. The blade missing his head by an inch, but the flames were close enough to burn the mask. The Rider then stepped off Deathstroke who rolled on his side, groaning in pain. Rider was about to turn away but quickly kicked Deathstroke across the face, knocking him out. The Rider huffed a few times then turned to look at Barbara, who had a concerned look on her face. The flames around the Rider's head went out and flesh began to regrow around Sean. He looked at Barbara, his face betrayed that he was sorry for what he almost did.

"I'm sorry, it was the other guy, not me." apologized Sean as he walked over to Barbara. She gave him a sympathetic look and gave him a hug as he never enjoyed killing, it was the Rider who craved vengeance. In the corner of the greenhouse was a small camera which had a small blinking red light near the lens. Showing that someone or something had been recording it.

Cadmus base.

A series of screens and consoles were lined up like a command center. A large platform was raised up so whoever was in charge could see what all the workers were doing. That person in charge was Amanda Waller. She had a stern expression as to what she saw on a large screen that hung above the consoles and workers.

"Is he a metahuman Doctor?" asked Amanda as she turned to look at a man with blond hair, a short beard and a set of glasses. He was also wearing a yellow dress shirt, a black tie, and a white lab coat.

"I cannot be sure unless we have him here at Base for me to determine if he is or not." answered the doctor, as he walked forward to study the video of Sean and his transformation.

"His power levels are nearly off the charts. Whatever he is and however he obtained his powers, it could mean serious consequences for a lot of people should he go rogue." continued the doctor as he read some more files. Amanda turned back to the screen, trying figure out what makes him so special.

Gotham

Back in Gotham, several police cruisers pulled up to the greenhouse, just as Sean was finished carrying out some of the crooks that he and Batgirl arrested. In one of the police cars was Commissioner Jim Gordon who exited one of the cruisers and approached Batgirl.

"See that you've been lending a hand again Batgirl," commented Gordon, who then turned to look at Sean, who was wearing his sunglasses again to protect his identity,

"who's the rookie?" asked Gordon as he noticed Sean.

"Names Ghost Rider, don't plan on staying in Gotham too long. Just came here per the request of Batman," responded Sean as he dropped a thug he was holding. Outside were several thugs along with Deathstroke and Ivy (who was still unconscious). Deathstroke being restrained using a pole bent around his arms, courtesy of Sean as he did not trust handcuffs to hold the master hitman.

"Well hope you enjoyed your stay, also thanks for taking down Deathstroke and Ivy. How many thugs were there?" asked the commissioner as he noticed an odd number of weapons but an even number of thugs.

"One of the thugs brought a backup," answered Sean as he began to walk away. He brought up his thumb and middle finger and whistled for his Hellcycle. The vehicle pulled up from the right of the greenhouse, a trail of fire left behind as it rolled across the ground. It stopped in front of Sean who mounted the bike and revved the engine and roared away on the bike before anything or anyone could stop him. Gordon watched Sean rode away from the scene.

"I should go after him. A lot has happened to him and he needs some help, despite he will never admit to needing any," said Batgirl as she signaled her own bike and followed Sean as he rode off to wherever he was heading. Gordon and a few officers were wondering what happened to him that would cause him to become a hero.

Watchtower

After chasing down Sean, and telling him that he needs help with his powers. Barbara suggested they go back to the Watchtower and talk things over. Sean complied but before doing so, he spotted a mugger trying to rob a woman and her son. Not wanting to take to long, Sean let the Rider out and caught the mugger and dispensed justice. The Rider returned the possessions back to the woman and her son, but before he left, the Rider bent down and picked up and old chain, using his powers he fashioned the chain so that it became silver and made it so that it became a sort of bracelet for the son. He gave it to the son and left without another word. Once out of sight Sean turned back to normal and saw a smug looking Barbara as she was waiting for a teleportation from J'onn.

"What?" asked Sean as they were teleported to the Watchtower, his bike was close enough so that it was also teleported to the base.

"Just glad to see that the Rider does have a heart," answered Barbara as she walked away to go talk to Diana and Batman about their time in Gotham. Sean smiled lightly and turned to go talk to Green Lantern and Superman. Approaching the two, Sean cleared his throat to get their attention.

"So how was your time in Gotham?" asked Superman as he turned to Sean to greet him.

"Better than I thought to be honest, though the end could have gone better." admitted Sean as he sat down in a chair that was by a console in the command center.

"Rider struck again?" asked Green Lantern as he figured out what Sean meant pretty quickly.

"Killed a thug, almost killed Deathstroke." confirmed Sean as he placed his Scythe against the console. Superman and Green Lantern were surprised to hear that Deathstroke almost bit the dust but he was dealing with the Ghost Rider.

"So what now? Do I join the League to keep the Rider in check?" asked Sean as he looked up at the two heroes. The two looked at each other before looking back at Sean.

"We would like you to join, not so we can keep an eye on you, but to make sure you don't lose sight of what you want to be." answered Superman as he looked at Sean. Sean nodded that he needs some help with dealing with his powers and the outcomes of the Rider's actions.

"So when do I start?"
