Sean's POV

This was possibly the hardest question anybody could have to answer or ask. Especially for my sister as she thought she escaped being paralyzed by luck, but when she found out I made a deal with the devil... it must have broken her. I just stood there, trying to think of what she meant, why I did I make the deal, why I did not tell her, why I thought it was a good idea. So I decided to bite the bullet.

"What do you mean?" I asked in a worried tone as I stood frozen in place. My sister seemed a little upset with my response and walked over to me and slapped me across the cheek.

"Why did you not tell me?! Why did you make the deal?! Why did lie to me?!" Screamed my sister as she shook in fury and sadness. I sighed as I probably should have seen that coming but did not dwell on it as I started to tell again why I did all those things.

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would not believe me or you would get mad at me. I did not tell you because you are the only family I have left other than uncle Zach, but he's in prison. I did not tell you because, after some time, I began making enemies and I could not bear to see you hurt again. I'm sorry I made that deal, I'm sorry for everything I did, but I did it for you because you are my little sister, and I would do anything for you." I answered my sister who had some tears streaming down her cheeks. She looked like she was about to cry again, so I pulled her into a hug, which she returned, crying into my shoulder. I gently rocked her as I held her in my arms.

"I'm sorry, it's okay, let it out." I whispered to her, Ashley continued to cry as I did so. I looked up to see the league looking at me, mostly with sympathy from Wonder Woman, Flash, and Superman. I could faint flashes of same emotion from Green lantern, J'onn and Hawkgirl, while Batman remained neutral. I felt a hand on my left shoulder, I looked behind to see Barbara had come over to help as well. I nodded thanks for this and continued to rock my little sister.

A few minutes had passed and my sister stopped crying but I could feel that she was still distraught over what she just found out, but she was better now.

Sean:"You okay now?" I asked Ashley who rubbed her now red eyes before nodding yes. I looked over at J'onn for a moment to ask him something.

"J'onn could you teleport Ashley back to Metropolis, please? I think she needs some time to herself and to process what has happened. As for me, something tells me that I should stick around for a little longer." The Martian nodded before phasing up to the control center and Superman leading Ashley back to the teleporter platform where she would be taken back to her hotel room. I looked at the remaining league and Batgirl before walking over to a chair and sat down, running my fingers through my hair.

"I'm sorry about your sister." started Flash as he walked over to me and pulled up his own chair. Diana also came over and placed a hand on my back.

"I can see why you did not want to tell Ashley about your life and how it has changed." added Diana as she helped comfort me as well.

"No, I probably should have seen this day coming, though I did not expect it to come so soon." I replied as I leaned back in my chair. I sighed as I thought about my boss, Mr. Yeager. He was a second father to me and he might have been informed about my powers too.

"So what happens now? My sister knows and that makes her a target for criminals, my boss Mr. Yeager is an honest man and a father figure to me, kept me from falling all the way down. I guess he was informed the second I was brought in right?" I looked at Batman expectantly, before he gave his answer.

"He was informed and he understood when we told him about your powers. He said he figured it out on day one." added Batman as he looked completely neutral about it. I looked at him surprised to hear that my employer knew since I made that deal, but I should have figured he somehow knew when he usually told me to be careful at night.

"Now onto your powers. While you and your powers are still new-" I cut him off when he said the Ghost Rider was new.

"Actually that is inaccurate. The Ghost Rider has been around for a looong time." I drew the long out as I walked over to a table that was in the control center. I decided to amaze them with another one of my powers and created a sort of portal made from fire, in the table and pulled out some books and a few scrolls as well. I reached into the portal again and pulled out a thick black book. One with a silver skull emblem on the cover.

"Every generation needs one, otherwise things will get seriously ugly." I said as I closed the portal and placed the books and scrolls on the table. I waved the league and Barbara over to take a look at the things on the table. I took a scroll and unrolled it along with Diana, while Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Batman and Batgirl took a book and began to read from them.

"Much of history revolves around the Ghost Rider's actions, and you'd be surprised how different history would be without the Rider, which brings up the primary purpose of the Rider (yes I am changing a bit about the Rider, adding on to his purpose of sorting out the criminals and the innocent)." I explained to the League about the history of the Rider.

"I thought you said the purpose of the Rider is to bring vengeance to criminals who have it coming." said Hawkgirl as she put down a book she was reading.

"I did, but I forgot to mention that the Rider has to also make sure those whom he sent to Hell, stay there. More than once has a few demons from Hell escaped and nearly destroyed the world." I clarified as I opened a book to show some images about what I was talking about. It showed a sort of portal to a realm of fire and stone and some demons trying to escape, and when one did a flaming figure would appear and to send it back where it came from.

"So you send criminals to Hell, and make sure demons from Hell do not escape." surmised Flash as he stated my job. "How many times has the world almost been destroyed?"

"You don't want to know. Trust me." I warned the Speedster, who nodded that I was probably right. Barbara was looking at some books till she saw the hardcover with the silver skull emblem. She picked it up and began on the first page.

"Sean, what book is this?" asked Barbara as she held the book, I looked over to see the book she was holding. It was possibly the most important.

"That book is the Rider's journal, passed down from the previous Rider to the next. All the thoughts, ideas, and experiences each Rider has ever had lie in those pages. Some of those Riders' have interesting lives." I said as she flipped to a page before quickly flipping to the next, a red shade adorned her cheeks.

"As well as some 'interesting' sketches of some people they liked." I shuddered at my first time going through that book. As we continued reading an alert came through. J'onn fazed down through the ceiling to inform us what was happening.

"It appears that Lex Luthor is at his old tricks again and has managed to smuggle illegal weapons through customs." informed the Martian as he landed on the ground. Superman is on his way to Luthor's company building, but it would be more tactically sound if I were to pose as him and get him to confess to smuggling the weapons so he may be put on trial." added the Martian. I nodded that this plan would work, but the Rider knew Luthor's kind well and wanted to make sure he would never do anything to harm anyone ever again.

"Not that I don't want to see Luthor behind bars, since you mentioned him, the Other guy is getting kind of agitated." I said as I felt my body temperature build slowly. Batman and the other's knew what I meant and decided to make sure that things would not get ugly if the Rider were to go after Luthor.

"Batgirl, Take Sean to Gotham. Maybe he and the Rider can discourage some criminals from acting out while he is there." suggested Batman as he looked at Barbara. She nodded and led me to the teleporter. The time now was around ten thirty so criminals may be a little more active. Lucky us. Following Barbara to the teleporter, she teleported us down to the ground.

Gotham City

I instantly felt the Rider's power kick in and I held my head as I tried to keep it together.

'Come on big guy, not yet' I pleaded to the Rider to wait till we actually found a criminal before he would come out. The Rider protested against that and tried to take over, but using a trick from the journal, I was able to suppress the Rider, at least for a little while. Barbara noticed my pain and came over to make sure I was alright. I nodded that I was fine but she did not look convinced.

"I'm keeping my eyes on you." stated Barbara, but blushed when she heard me laugh a little.

"I'm flattered." I laughed.

Barbara rolled her eyes and jumped down to the street below. Being able to access the Rider's powers, I was able to summon my chains from my sleeves and I swung the chain to the ledge of the building and jumped down. The chain slowing my descent till I touched the ground. I yanked the chain down and back into my sleeves. I walked over to Barbara who was waiting by a corner of an intersection. She held a small device in her hand, then a motorbike engine was heard a second later. Looking down the street, I saw a Bat-themed motorbike come rolling up and stop in front of her.

"You getting on?" asked Barbara as she looked at my over her shoulder. I chuckled but I had my own ride.

"Nice bike, and not that I don't want to, I like to drive." I answered, getting a quizzical look from Barbara.

"What are you supposed to drive?" asked Barbara as she did not really understand what I meant. I gave her a mischievous smirk and brought my middle finger and thumb together and gave a shrill whistle.The ground beside her turned to molten rock, and a demonic bike came out and landed on the ground. The front and back wheels on fire. On the passenger seat laid a Scythe and a sort of clamp for me to place it on. I walked over to the bike, picked up the scythe and strap and swung it onto my body. I sat down on the bike, not bothered by the flames in the least. I looked back at the young heroine who had a surprised look on her face. The surprise turned to impressment that I had more than one vehicle as she had learned from Batman.

"Well, let's ride." I said, my eyes, glowing orange but I did not transform into the rider. I revved my engine and the bike roared to life. I performed a wheelie and sped forward with Barbara following beside me.
