How To Train Your Ghost Rider

by Aishi-Cc

How Robbie learns to deal with the various members of the Team after deciding to remain part time S.H.I.E.L.D. Getting used to a demonic street racer may be easier then Robbie getting used to S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

1. The Place You Need To Be

So far I have completed and posted two QuakeRider centric One Shots on FFN and AO3 and both have gotten good reviews/comments by those who left one so encouraging. As mentioned in the last one this is the chaptered fic I have been working on. It will basically cover Robbie interacting with the various members of the Team during a slow day. Not overly ambitious true but since people seem to like what I am doing I will stick with it for this fic. Any suggestions, requests, excreta are welcomed. I have worked with a reader's requests before so don't be shy if you have an idea you think I could actually do some justice to.

WarNinGs: Not Cannon Compliant, Slightly OOC, About as much Spanish as they used in the show, Team building/bonding, Gabe seeing these people are not so bad just like Daisy.

And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash."

ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE, AND THE PLACE YOU NEED TO REACH

Daisy bit her lip slightly as she allowed her palm to flatten against soft worn leather, feeling the chest below rise and fall with slow even breaths, heartbeat too soft to feel through the shirt and zipped up jacket. Sighing softly the Inhuman closed her eyes and just focused on the rhythm below her hand, proof the other was alive and well. When she had first met Robbie she had been so unsure of him, he seemed like two different people fighting for control, and in a way that was exactly what he was. Mutual enemies had allowed a shaky partnership to form, from there a friendship grew. By the time the elder Reyes brother was M.I.A. his absent hurt, hurt more then she thought it would. She had told herself it was the fact she had no idea where he was or if he would return, the others she had lost she knew were dead and were never coming back. When she saw him casually sitting on some silver railing her heart had almost lept from her chest. Those expressive eyes had turned up as if he had been waiting for her to get close before acknowledging her, how she had missed them. Stopping she had greeted him with a joke, a joke he responded to as if it was just another day as he shrugged before getting to his feet. With him now standing before her she allowed herself to admit she was surprised he was back, however pleasantly. To her relief he had responded in kind, amused and as at peace as she had ever seen him still warmed her.

Returning from Hell, whichever world or dimension it had been technically, had changed a few things. He was not the same man he had been when they had first clashed, and she was just as different. They had helped each other put a few of the pieces of their broken lives, hearts, and souls back together again. The way he looked to her had changed as well, it was not just to get her opinion on something as it had been before, there was more warmth there now. He was looking to a friend, assuring them he was there while being assured they were with him as well, she got that. Whatever they were now they were friends, they cared and they always would. Ward had turned out to be a very bad and broken man, but one who truly cared about her at least. Lincoln had helped her realized what being an Inhuman meant before dying for her, and he had not considered himself heroic. Robbie was in his own ways as damaged as Ward, though even with a devil in his skin he was still a better man then Ward had ever been. Lincoln would be content she had a valiant and viscous protector if nothing else, but she was not sure they would have gotten along. She hoped that even if Lincoln had lived she still would have wanted to save Robbie as strongly as she had. Where would she be now if her friends had never shown her what she could be, how she could help?

Robbie was not just a flaming sword for the righteous side of Hell, she would not believe that. He had done so much good as part of her team, no mater how he had fought it at first, it was too late to dismiss him. Coulson wanted him not just his power in S.H.I.E.L.D., he could see the good man behind the flames and cold eyes just as she could. He had seen to her becoming all she could be, more of a father then anyone had ever been to her and she loved him for it. Sighing softly at her own mussing she absently played with the zipper's tongue, its owner still dead to the world. Fingers slipped past parted teeth resting over the beating heart a thin cotton t-shirt could not hide as the thicker jacket could. Smiling the Inhuman once again agent turned her dark stare to a serene face, blinking when she saw equally dark eyes half open. "Robbie? It's all right," She soothed unsure if he was awake enough to recognize her. The room was not one he would know so she was not counting on familiar surroundings to keep him calm.

Robbie sighed softly, a hand resting lightly against his chest confused him but Daisy's voice was clear. Tilting his head at her he turned his gaze to her hand stuck inside his jacket before looking up at her, "Worried my heart stopped?"

Daisy pulled her hand free looking away, knowing her cheeks were at least a little pink and he knew it. "Oh please you don't always even have a heart to stop." Joking about the Rider she glanced at him to see if she had hit a nerve, God she had to learn to curb her tongue now and then.

Robbie pushed himself up on his elbows, not really motivated to get up entirely, "Good one E.T. light."

Daisy rolled her eyes but gave him a bit of a grin at that, if she could tease him about his literal demon then he could tease her about her alien DNA, fair was fair. "I wouldn't call YoYo that."

"Elena has Mack to annoy in his sleep she has no need of me," Robbie reminded the mouthy young woman as he sat up. Reaching up he finished unzipping his jacket to fully reveal a faded hunter green shirt.

Daisy watched an ungloved hand as it moved to unzip the infamous jacket, the faded green a nice contrast to his skin tone. It seemed fitting he was back from Hell and wearing green, back among the living and all that went with it. "Oh like she wouldn't."

"I'd wake up to her wearing my jacket if she was that curious about it, Elena is about as scared of me as you are." Robbie knew he weirded a few of them out still, not surprising when he was walking proof Hell existed. However they might feel about the Rider they were mostly comfortable with having just him around. It seemed being Daisy's pet project earned him a trial spot on the team, one some of them wanted to be more permanent.

"Well it isn't stealing if you are just borrowing it," Daisy agreed tapping a fingertip off her chin a few times. "I think it would look cute on her." Elena had become one them easily once she stopped thinking of S.H.I.E.L.D as shady government bad and more MIB good. It did not surprise her the two snarky Hispanics got along, and since everyone knew it was strictly friendly there was no jealousy to worry about.

"Se veria aun mas lindo en usted," Robbie said with a hint of his smug smirk, his jacket may look cute on Elena but it would look better on Daisy, at least he thought so.

Daisy frowned at the Spanish, it sounded like a compliment to her, and that smirk was his teasing one she rather liked. "You better be able to repeat that in church Mr. Reyes." When Robbie blinked before actually laughing she blinked startled for a moment before joining him as she sat down on the bed. She had only really heard him laugh once, a few soft chuckles were not the same. May was like that, all smirks but few laughs.

"No eres espia, aprender espanol," Robbie snarked back as he checked to make sure his gloves were still in his jacket pockets.

"Or," Daisy started as she leaned close, arms folded, "here's a thought, you could just speak English while basking in my glory?"

Robbie snorted looking up, shaking his head at the mock preening, "You truly are something else girl."

"Thanks I like me too," Daisy grinned, it felt so good to banter with someone again. Robbie knew her demons better then anyone else, his had seen hers with Its own eyes. The idea of a demon judging her and leaving her not only alive but willing to work with her was faltering really. Angels were all about redeeming and saving souls while demons were all about corrupting and claiming, though the Rider was all about claiming the already past saving. It made her wonder what It would think of Ward, no doubt with Robbie's influence It would ash her former crush.

Robbie rolled his eyes at the false ego, thought she didn't hate herself anymore at lest and he was grateful for that, "I wasn't gone that long this time, did I miss some sort of head trauma?"

"Ha ha, very funny," Daisy drawled as she reached out lightly rapping his chest with her knuckles, his shirt was very soft. "I'm surprised you didn't portal jump right home and crash on your couch or something."

Robbie shook his head, "Coulson wants some sort of report on the fate of the Darkhold, and I don't want to shock my brother by suddenly being back."

"Have you called? I can while you talk to Coulson if you want...we kinda bonded a little after you were gone." Daisy admitted hoping he would be happy about that news, he had not enjoyed the fighting.

Robbie blinked before smiling in relief and gratitude, it would have to have been Daisy who told his brother if it had not been Coulson himself. He was not an agent but he could still see the likeable spy taking it upon himself to tell Gabe the bad news. Daisy did not seem to be aware he had been there to hear her talk with Gabe, and he was not going to tell her just then, "Thank you."

"It was nothing really, I am the only one he really knew," Daisy dismissed trying not to read too much into two little words. Looking down at the folded hands in her lap she was missing her long hair, not that Robbie was not being all adorably emotional as well. It was just the two of them, they had been through too much to keep all the walls up all the time.

Reaching out Robbie laid a hand over Daisy's, thumb moving slowly over smooth skin to draw her eyes up to his. "Yeah, but still, thank you Daisy."

Daisy bit her lip as she shifted so her right hand was resting over Robbie's just as deadly hand, its warmth felt good between her own. "It's what friends are for...I mean you'd have done the same for me if things had been different."

Nodding Robbie leaned close, resting his brow against hers, "Having someone other than Gabe and tio is new but...but it feels good."

Smiling Daisy closed her eyes and just enjoyed his closeness for a moment, he was here now and was content to just be there with her. Sometimes just being near someone who understood was enough, she had missed that so much after she left. "Unlike your tio I won't betray you Robbie, if the Rider can't chase me off you have no chance."

Robbie chuckled softly as he closed his own eyes, for someone named after something so fragile she was anything but. "I know, and I'm counting on it. Gabe can't always be around but you can tame the Rider as well, he likes your spirit."

"Aw that's sweet, and maybe a little creepy since demons eat those," Smiling she caught his smile glad he had not taken that the wrong way.

"Coulson thought you might be up, is now a bad time?" May asked frowning slightly, Robbie may be more Lincoln than Ward but she was a protective S.O..

Daisy jerked away as Robbie just blinked up at May, he was not as use to her as she was. Turning she frowned slightly at May, "Just teasing Robbie since he's awake and coherent."

"I self-heal remember? I come back form Hell just fine and you are worried about a few day trip to destroy a book?" Robbie arched a brow at the punk who had become his partner, even the Rider did not mind her butting into their mission. She may not like or approve of his more extreme measures but she was trying to avenge innocents, and knew lethal force was sometimes the only way.

"Remind me to sit down and watch the Evil Dead movies with you one of these days. He's all yours May," Daisy wanted to keep Robbie around but Gabe deserved to know he was back and safe. Forgiveness would take some time but Gabe was ready to start, he understood Robbie had become what he had in part for him. Misguided or not it was done out of love, a love worth damnation for, how could you hate someone willing to trade their soul for your life?

May nodded, Robbie seemed perfectly fine after a short nap, and she could hardly blame him since she knew if she had gone to Hell she would want to hide away from others for a while as well. "Robbie if you would follow me then?"

Robbie nodded getting to his feet, slipping off his jacket he dropped it onto Daisy's questioning face. "Gabe can't deny I'm back with you wearing that, upper inside pocket."

Daisy pulled the jacket from her head, opening it she noted the inner pocket and unzipped it, pulling out a picture. Gabe was ridding piggyback grinning like mad about something, Robbie was laughing, hands on his brother's knees. Wiping a tear from her eye she sniffed, they looked younger and she assumed this was before either their parent's deaths or their uncle's imprisonment. Getting herself under control she dialed the number for the smart phone she had given Gabe. When he picked up she smiled at him, always happy to be the bearer of good news. When he open his mouth to ask about the jacket she held up the photo. "He's back, talking to Coulson but back safe and sound here on base."

ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE, AND THE PLACE YOU NEED TO REACH

Coulson frowned as he listened the younger male as he described the barren world he had taken the book to, how it had been burned, and the planet searched for life. It did not sound nearly as bad as the Hell dimension Robbie had returned from thankfully at the perfect time to help with Aida. He glanced at May now and then, she simply nodded slightly back saying nothing. When Robbie leaned back finished he nodded, "Well I can not say I am sorry to hear the book is ash blowing in the wind. Will you been staying this time?"

Robbie frowned slightly, "I need to go talk to my brother, we did not part on the best of terms and that was solely my fault."

Coulson nodded, he had been there, "And afterward?" When Robbie gave him a questioning look he smiled slightly, sometimes it was just fun to mess with people a little. "I know a lot has happened but I am pretty sure I made it clear I wanted you on our team. If I am wrong then consider this an invitation."

"I'm no spy Coulson the Rider is a bounty hunter at best, a mass murder at worst. And if we are being honest I'm no prize myself, unless you need a mechanic that can literately crack skulls besides Mack." Robbie may be good for interrogations but as a field agent he left much to be desired and was honest enough with himself to admit it, Rider aside.

Coulson tilted his head, "That is all true, and if this was just a spy agency that would matter more. You can spare criminals, you can protect not just avenge, you can be better than just a murdering vigilante and I want to help you be that." Skye had been a hacker with no love for S.H.I.E.L.D and now she was so much more, there was no reason Robbie could not do the same in his own way.

Frowning Robbie looked down, it had been so long since anyone had seen him as more then a good mechanic and a high-school dropout. Coulson was sincere he knew that, he had seen him with Daisy and the others enough to know he cared for his people like an extended family. The Rider had been inside his head and agreed Coulson was a trustworthy man, even if he was a spy and a suit. Since meeting Daisy he had changed, finding more peace with his fate then he ever thought he would find. Sighing he turned to May, getting a slightly questioning look, "You agree with him on this?"

May closed her eyes with a soft sigh, it figured a guy who looked to Daisy for cues would ask her that. "You can be more if you choose to be just as Daisy and others have. It won't be easy, harder for you with that thing in your head, but if you are stronger than your demons you'll just about survive."

Robbie blinked when the stoic agent made a joke as dry as it might have been. Turning he sat in his chair a bit stunned, May did not often joke or encourage he had learned that early on. Looking back up at Coulson he nodded bowing his head, "I am willing to try." Looking up he gave the older man a bit of a smile. "To serve when everything else fails, to be humanity's last line of defense, to be the shield...its a good oath."

Coulson blinked when Robbie turned to May, they were not exactly close, though she was close to Daisy so there was that. May answered after a moment, teasing Robbie a bit as was her way. Turning from May Robbie was quite for a moment before answering him, at his quote Coulson blinked again before smiling with pride. Daisy had to have told him that, the Rider may not care about serving but protecting innocents was what it burned to do. "Welcome to the family then Mr. Reyes, we can handle the paperwork and all that once you return from seeing your brother. And do not worry even if you decide to remain freelance we will see to him if and when you have another long term mission, it is the least we can do for the assistance you have given us."

Robbie smiled feeling hopeful about this future with these people who were as messed up as he was in their own ways. Getting to his feet he nodded since saluting was for soldiers not spies, at least he didn't see a lot of it going on. "Thank you sir, ma'am," bowing his head to May he walked out leaving them to do their jobs.

"You planning on training him Malinda?" Coulson asked titling his head at his right hand, she had done a wonderful job with Daisy and Robbie did respect her.

May glanced at the door before pushing off of the wall, "He can fight but yes, best way to keep the Rider in check is not summon him. His channeling abilities worked just fine while human so he can pass for an Inhuman to the public, most wouldn't believe his story without seeing the Rider anyway."

"True, it is good we will be able to keep the band together, I would hate for Daisy and Robbie to fall back into old self-destructive habits." Coulson had felt the Rider's rage and knew what it took to keep it in check, and all he had needed to do was wait for the time to right to let It lose. Robbie could keep it at bay, a feat that would be easier with training and a higher purpose.

May nodded knowing how they both felt about Daisy, it was not exactly a secret, "Killing gang bangers and the like is better than innocents, but sooner or later good cops would end up dead, or we would have to put him down. I do not even know how we would mange that."

"Maybe we should look into better containment for gods? At any rate it is better for everyone if he stays on the side of good, there are always plenty of bad guys he can beat up, and even a few he can kill to keep the Rider happy." Coulson did not believe in sacrificing good people but some people there was no hope for, and he was happy to let the Rider have them once they learned what they needed from them.

May shook her head but she could not argue with him there, "And you believe this Rider will be satisfied?"

"It cares only about vengeance and punishing evil so our goals are not exactly contradictory, and if we run into more messes like the Ghosts or Inhumans that have lethal abilities a supernatural flaming skeleton will come in handy, besides he has a really nice car."

May chuckled with a knowing smirk, "And there it is, it's all about the car in the end."

Coulson grinned right back, "Nothing wrong with looking good while saving the world now is there?"

ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE, AND THE PLACE YOU NEED TO REACH

Daisy sighed at the defunct portal hands in borrowed pockets, Robbie was just going home, no Ghosts, no demon books, just the LA streets he had grown up on. She was selfish wanting him to stay she knew that, he was helping her heal but he needed his brother right now. While he was gone she wanted to work on rebuilding her ties with her friends. The bridges were under repair still but the fire had not burned them to only wisps of ash. When she sensed another near she looked up at Robbie and smiled up at him, he looked strange jacket-less but not all bad. "I see May was gentle with you."

Robbie chuckled softly, "Yeah, it seems Coulson wants me as an agent." It was still a bit of a strange idea working for the government, or whatever Coulson ultimately answered to.

"Coulson loves adopting misfits like us, seriously that and collecting retro tech are his two favorite things." Daisy loved her boss but did not fully understand his love of old stuff, Lola aside since she was a sweet ride.

"It is nice to be wanted rather then simply needed," Robbie reminded her with a little smile, Coulson had only needed them when all this had started. A fact he had been honest about, not that he owed such honesty to Robbie unlike Daisy.

Daisy nodded, she completely agreed there, "Wait until the team all adopt you, you've seen how hurt they were because I left."

"I'd rather not go around upsetting good people, but it will make Gabe feel better about all of this." Robbie gave a helpless little shrug, he was not getting rid of the Rider anytime soon. If the Rider could be content hunting down Watchdogs, HYDRA agents, and whatever else S.H.I.E.L.D. dealt with he would not even really mind It so much anymore. Keeping the entire world safe for all the Gabes out there was worth the pain of the flames alone.

Daisy understood why Gabe had been so hurt, but he loved his brother and Robbie was still that man. "Hey once you're all official we can show him around. The kid already knows a lot so it'll be cool, besides Mack and YoYo are the rest of the team so he should get to know them. They are good people he'll love them."

Robbie nodded crossing his arms loosely, "He might be able to get a tour while I'm getting my badge or whatever."

"I'll talk to Coulson about it, this is his base and all so he makes the rules." Daisy did not foresee any problems with getting Gabe a tour. With Gabe on board keeping the Rider in check would be even easier, and that was frankly better for everyone involved even the bad guys. When Robbie just gave her a grateful smile she looked down, remembering she was wearing his jacket, it was more practical then lugging it around. "I guess you want this back huh?"

Robbie reached out grabbing the jacket as Daisy started to shrug it off her shoulders, pulling it back on getting a questioning look. "Hold on to it for me, that way you'll be sure I'll come back, and not just for Lucy."

Smirking she nodded, she liked the jacket it smelled like him and was nice and worn in, "Careful there Reyes I may be tempted to not give it back."

"Hey you want to throw down once I get back I like my chances girl," Robbie smirked at her as he walked over to the fallen length of chain, he had wondered a little where it had ended up since it had been gone after his shower. Ash and brimstone were not how he wanted Gabe to remember him over leather and gasoline.

Daisy just grinned rocking back and forth on her heels as he took the deadly chain in his hand, "I should get wardrobe to make me one, and a few more for you since if you are going to be running around the world and beyond, you are bond to lose it sooner or later."

Robbie looked up from his chain, "You're going to make sure I have a stocked closet before I'm even an agent aren't you?"

"Well your clothes might heal with the rest of you but jeans and Ts are not going to cut it, even if you aren't a supper spy like me." Daisy loved the idea of being able to play dress up doll with him, she had only ever seen him in jeans or work clothes.

Robbie sighed as he shook his head, there were worst things then having a pretty girl making sure you had a few nicer outfits in your closest. "Whatever, go overboard and I'll start a bonfire with them."

"Sounds fair," Daisy agreed, she had already gotten sizes and brands from Gabe so at least he would have his favored look on hand.

Robbie nodded as he moved forward and swung the chain to form the portal, turning to face Daisy once it was open. "I'll call before I head back, if Gabe is cool with all of this then I should be back tomorrow."

Daisy touched his arm with a smile, "Hey don't rush back all right? We'll be here promise. Now go be with your brother, God knows you've earned it." Robbie nodded as he turned and walked through the portal, turning at the last moment to smile at her. She smiled back watching the distorted image of his back as it was swallowed in collapsing flames, sighing softly as she turned and headed back to the room he had been in. Keeping busy would help with missing him, even if he would be back tomorrow she could not completely silence the little voice whispering she would never see him again.

ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE, AND THE PLACE YOU NEED TO REACH

Gabe gaped at a growing spinning ring of flame, blinking when he saw his brother and Daisy distorted through it. Daisy had said Robbie had learned to make portals while away, how she had not known, magic was complicated. The flaming chain died as it wrapped around his brother's chest like a sash, that was cool to see. Robbie turned to Daisy as he stepped through the portal, appearing in the living room as the flames collapsed behind him. The chain was slipped off and dropped to the floor with a clank and Gabe smiled opening his arms. Robbie closed his eyes as he fell to his knees, bare arms around him, face buried into his shoulder. Resting a hand on the back of his brother's head he held Robbie as he sobbed, murmuring apologies in a mix of Spanish and English. Stroking short hair and warm skin he murmured soothingly back.

When he had first found out what Robbie had become, what he had done, he had chosen to focus on his anger. Focusing on the fact his brother had sold his soul to save his life and return from the dead to protect him was heartbreaking. The fact the Good Sumerian had in fact turned his brother into a killer was just another blow, even if he was still grateful to It for bringing Robbie back. He should have tried harder to help Robbie through the change, to keep him from racing ever again, so many things really. When his brother had just disappeared he had felt as lost as the agents around him. Daisy was sure they were alive and it turned out they had been. Knowing Robbie had heard what he had said to Daisy, that it had been the last time he had heard his voice before being dragged to some Hell hurt. Robbie was a good man, no matter what he did at his core he was good and pure Gabe knew it.

Learning what had been happening from Daisy he was amazed she had grown fond of his brother considering how they had met, the second meeting not really going much better. He had been wrong about her, lost was not the same a bad. She had fought beside his brother, helped him work through a few things, and was part of the reason Robbie was here now. They both owed her and he would pay her back by welcoming her the next time she dropped by. "It's all right Robbie, you're here now and I love you." Gabe tighten his grip, his shoulder was soaked and Robbie's was not that much better but it hardly mattered. He loved his brother, he would not let the Rider have him, not completely.

Robbie sniffed, he could just not seem to stop crying and he really did not care. Gabe and Daisy were the only people who matter the most to him now, as long as they accepted him he would make it. Lifting his head so his voice would not be muffled by his brother's shoulder he calmed his breathing, "I am so sorry Gabe."

"Shh..," Gabe soothed as he wiped freckle dotted cheeks, "I know you would do anything for me, I love you too Robbie." Holding his brother's face he smiled even if his brother was keeping his eyes closed to keep in tears. "I'm glad you're home."

Robbie opened his eyes, closing them when Gabe wiped fresh tears away before opening them again. "Coulson offered me a job...to help protect the world from things worst then locos...I want to try."

"Try? Isn't that what you've been doing since teaming up with Daisy?" Gabe smiled when his brother blinked, Robbie could be a little slow sometimes but he was no fool. "If you are stuck with the Ghost Rider than why not use It to help save the world? They could have used It during that whole HYDRA mess."

Robbie frowned as he considered that, the Rider would have been able to tear through HYDRA saving a lot of lives. Sighing softly he nodded slightly, not wanting to break contact, "Then you are all right with this?"

"I would rather just have my brother back, but if you can go out there and protect people with out having to just kill then yes I am all right with it."

Robbie smiled placing his hands over Gabe's smaller ones, "I'll be better Gabe, the Ghost Rider doesn't have to be just a killer...I don't have to be just a killer."

"That's right," Gabe agreed, resting his forehead against his brother's, "I know you can Robbie, just take it one day at a time."

Robbie smiled in relief, he was truly home now not just back, "One day at a time."

ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE, AND THE PLACE YOU NEED TO REACH

"A tour sounds kinda cool actually. He's sleeping, yeah it went well but he was drained by the end. As long as he had cars to fix and play with you could keep him around, I'm harder to bribe, just saying." Gabe laughed as he rolled into the living room, pausing when he heard a soft moan before moving to the couch. Robbie's eyes were still closed but that didn't mean he was still fully asleep, "Estas despierto?"

Robbie sighed as he shifted, "Tipo de, por que?"

"Margarita, Como te registras para asegurarte de que tu regreso a casa salio bien." Gabe answered, he would have to say Robbie's homecoming went well. They still had some issues to work through but they were still brothers, and he still wanted Robbie in his life.

"Por supuesto que lo hizo," Robbie said smiling, Daisy would call first thing to make sure they were all right, and she wondered why people cared so much about her. "Ella gritaba en nosotro para hablar ingles todavia?" Inhuman super agent or not the women could not speak much Spanish and had to be muttering about not being able to understand them by now.

"Que tipo de super espia no puede hablar espanol?" Gabe asked trying not to laugh, shouldn't learning the second most spoken language in your native country be a requirement for working for a spy agency let alone a super one like S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Robbie chuckled softly, in full agreement with his little brother, "Uno que crecio en Los Angeles."

"HEY!" Daisy cried loud enough to carry since Gabe was not holding the phone to his ear since starting to talk to his brother.

"Sorry, takes a little while for the bilingual part of his brain to wake up," Gabe teased, not sure if she would believe that or not.

"I'm awake girl so breathe," Robbie muttered covering his eyes with his arm, "I never did like mornings."

"Poor baby," Gabe mocked setting the phone on Robbie's chest getting a blink when he raised his arm. "Play nice while I go finish getting ready, she promised us breakfast when we got there."

"All right, go make yourself pretty," Robbie called as he took the phone into his hand, arm returning to over his eyes, he was entitled to a few moments of laziness. "Worried or just afraid it was a bad time?"

"I little of both really...I've only ever had temporary foster siblings which is so not the same. I am glad it all worked out."

Robbie sighed softly, "Gabe has always been more forgiving then I am, thankfully."

"So will you two be here soon?"

"Soon enough, I should probably get up myself," Robbie raised his arm and sat up, felling better as he listened to the others chatting in the back.

"Yeah...don't worry Coulson is gentle with new recruits even part timers like you."

"I don't get hurt remember?" Robbie remind his banter partner with a bit of a chuckle, "See ya soon Chica."

"Better, or I'm coming for you Reyes."

Robbie smirked as he hung up, setting the phone down on the coffee table before heading upstairs. A quick shower and change and he was good to go, it was not like he was a suit.

ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE, AND THE PLACE YOU NEED TO REACH

"Ah there you two are, please come in and help yourself, there's plenty," Coulson greeted the brothers as they entered the kitchen. Gabe wheeled up to the buffet style spread without further prompting, getting a smile from Coulson while Robbie scanned the room.

"Where's Daisy?" Mack, Elena, Fitz, Simmons, Coulson, and May were all seated but Daisy was not there and Robbie was a little disappointed.

"Right behind you Carrot Top," Daisy teased as she draped his jacket over his shoulders now clad in a very nice navy.

Robbie smirked as he slipped his beloved jacket back on before turning, "Hey."

"Hey, nice to see you back so soon," Daisy was thrilled the brothers were talking to each other again, she had wanted a family her entire life.

"Yeah, it's been a minute," Robbie said smirking a bit more, he was actually happy to see her this time.

Daisy smack his arm before turning him around and pushing him towards the food, "March Reyes it's all really good."

"Bossy little thing," Robbie muttered but didn't put up a fight, the food smelled great and he was hungry.

Gabe shook his head as he parked beside the friendly looking Colombian women who had to be Elena aka YoYo, "Nice jacket."

"Thank you, Mack got it for me after my last one got burned, and no it was not your brother's fault." Elena winked at the teen, he had a good energy about him.

"Matchstick's not so bad once you get use to him," Mack commented before tearing into a piece of toast.

"Does everyone have a different nickname for you Robbie?" Gabe asked as Robbie and Daisy sat down across from him with Daisy beside Coulson.

"I think half of us do, I have only recently met your brother, though I am grateful he saved Fitz's life when they first met." Simmons smiled from where she was sitting beside Robbie, Fitz at the other end across from Coulson.

"Daisy stopped Mack from shooting him, he is quiet intimidating when he is the Ghost Rider," Fitz said before taking a bite of eggs. If he was being honest even with out the flaming skull Robbie could be intimating, it made sense since he had grown up dealing with gangsters.

"They didn't know It was bullet proof, and shooting Robbie will just piss them both off." Daisy knew the Rider and Robbie were not the same thing, even if they could be of the same mind. Robbie had told Gabe as much and Daisy believed him, she never planed to call Ghost Rider Robbie unless she was trying to reach the human part of him.

"It is more then bullet prof," Mack muttered, he never wanted that thing inside him ever again, he owed Robbie a lot for taking It back. Elena patted his wrist with a bit of a smile, she knew how he felt on the subject.

Coulson nodded, he knew where Mack was coming from, "Tell us Robbie do you have another target in mind, or are you free for the moment?"

Robbie lowered his fork turning his attention to Coulson, Mack may like him more but he hated It in equal measure. "At the moment neither of us have plans...why find another Hell book?"

"Not at all," Coulson assured his newest asset with a shake of his head. "I was hoping you would be able to settle in a bit before your unique talents are needed again."

"Oh...sounds good, didn't really see much the last time I was here." Robbie had been a little worried for a moment there, but getting a feel for how things normally worked around this place sounded interesting.

"Glad to hear it, part time or not this is your second home now," Coulson wanted Robbie to come to love this place as he did. A safe heaven for those who fought the never-ending fight that they at least did not have to fight alone.

Robbie smiled at the warm welcome, Coulson was a good man who inspired loyalty form those around him, he was not completely immune to his faith. "You just want Lola to keep her new friend."

"Maybe," Coulson said with a grin, Lucy was a charmer all right.

May rolled her eyes, "He comes with the car Phil."

Gabe smiled, there was an easy feel to these people, they were close and they were holding out their hands to Robbie knowing exactly what he was. Robbie was a bit overwhelmed by it but he was happy, happier then Gabe had seen him in a while. These were good people who would not let Robbie fall, and not just because they were scared of the Ghost Rider. "So who made all of this?"

"I did. Sadly I do not always have time to cook, but I do try to make sure we all sit down together when we can." Coulson wanted to keep his family together and seeing them all like this made everything else worth it.

Gabe smiled at the man he had only met once, still curious about the silver band on his arm. "It'll take more then good food to get near Lucy. Daisy is the only one outside of the family to get to ride in her and even drive her once."

"And it will be staying at once until she learns how to drive," Robbie reminded his brother with a frown, he loved that car.

"Oh come on, it's not like I wreaked it?" Daisy whined, frowning at Robbie like he was overreacting.

"Her," Both Robbie and Coulson corrected.

"All right, all right her. Look I thought she self healed, plus I was worried about Mack." Daisy would have enjoyed driving it more if things had been different, at least it worked out all right in the end.

"I was there," Robbie reminded the snarky hacker turned agent, "you should stick with your van."

"Harsh," Daisy retorted, grinning at the roll of eyes.

"If I may? How exactly does your car repair itself?" Simmons asked curious, science was her favorite topic.

"Magic, just like how I come back from turning into a skeleton," Robbie answered with a shrug. As long as it worked he had never given it much thought, demonic powers were bit beyond him.

"Magic...hm, of course," Simmons did not believe in such things.

"Fitz-Simmions don't believe in magic Robbie, though how else they would explain a flaming skeleton I don't know." Daisy had to admit it was hard to believe It was anything else after you saw It, she would never get used to It fully.

"Well we would have to run some tests but science can answer anything," Fitz answered, he was starting to wonder a bit though.

"Turbo the guy drives a car that puts Christine to shame, and can turn into a freaking walking skeleton, science has nothing." Mack was a man of faith so a demon was something he had to except, and after having that thing in his head he was sure It was from Hell.

"You two seem nice, really, but I don't think I would enjoy being tested," Robbie liked the pair but labs were not his thing, he was a mechanic and he was happy with that.

Simmons pursed her lips in though, "Perhaps studying your powers would be more to your liking? It would be advantageous if we knew what you were capable of, especially if there are more then one of you."

Daisy bit her lip when Robbie turned to her for her thoughts, she was used to him doing so since this was her world. "She has a point, besides Jemma is like supper gentle and will even feed you."

"She makes the best sandwiches," Fitz agreed smiling, she always had known just how to make his favorite.

Robbie frowned, being a test subject made him feel like a sideshow attraction, but he was curious to see what their fancy tech would say about him. "I guess a few tests would be fine."

Jemma smiled hands coming together, "Excellent!"

Daisy giggled at her friend's childlike excitement, it reminded her of when they had first met, "Kinda standard for us super powered people."

Robbie frowned as he swallowed, "Not letting anyone else drive Lucy except maybe Coulson."

Coulson preened at that, he knew Robbie felt the same way about Lucy as he did Lola, "I would never dream of ordering such a thing."

"It is just a normal car though right?" Fitz asked frowning slightly, Lola was anything but.

"As long as it's not on fire yeah, pretty much. I customized it for street racing but it can't fly or anything," Robbie was sure they had a flying car around this base somewhere, with this many labcoats it was inevitable.

"Yeah, he did that to me once, sent me rolling into the streets with an already fractured arm," Daisy pouted, she was still a little mad about the trying to kill her thing.

Robbie frowned at her, "Don't jump uninvited onto people's roofs and you won't fall off moving cars."

"You do know most women hate it when a man walks out on them in the middle of a conversation, tied up or otherwise," Daisy retorted, pointing her fork at him.

"Oh?" Elena asked perking up with a wicked little smirk, she had heard about the basics but she did love bantering and play fighting.

"After threatening to take me from Gabe you are lucky that was all I did," Robbie muttered, Gabe had not heard all of this but he appeared curious so he let it go. "Besides you quaked a car over at me, for all you knew a car landing on my head would kill me."

"Well in my defense quakeing your ass into the side of a van didn't phase you, besides the whole coming at me with a flaming wrench was like rude."

"That was the point," Robbie reminded the crazy agent, she would have broken something if he had not had the Rider to heal him.

"Super rude, that is what you were," Daisy concluded nodding, he was still a bit moody but she did not see him coming at her with murder literately in his eyes anytime soon.

"What are you five?" Robbie arched a brow at her, fighting a grin.

"Why because I am super cute?" Daisy teased sweetly, grinning when Robbie chuckled at that, "Because I so am."

"Well no mater how cute you are I am gorgeous," Elena reminded her friend flicking her long hair over her shoulder.

Gabe grinned at the back and forth, this is what he wanted for his brother, "So why are you called Yo Yo Elena?"

"Oh my power, this one said it works like a yo yo so there you are, I will show you later promise." Elena winked, Gabe was a good kid and her powers were not nearly as dangerous as Robbie's or Daisy's could be.

"It takes a little getting used to but they are pretty cool, seems all Inhumans get an insane trick." Robbie had fought a few and beside a few more, he most definitely wasn't what they were, but he had been just as useful in saving the world.

"Lincoln believed we each got a power that was tied to a purpose, maybe you were chosen to be a Rider for the same reason?" Daisy had wondered about that, what was so special about Robbie that a demon might value. Mack said the Rider fed on vengeance and pain, Robbie had those but that was not all that he was.

"Who?" Robbie asked frowning, he had heard the name before in passing, he was another Inhuman who could shock people. The lighting like attack Aida had used on him had been taken from him, a nasty little trick.

"The man in the picture you saw, my friend who died saving us all from the Hive." Daisy had wanted to quake Robbie's head off when he had said a Ward line holding Lincoln's picture but he could not possibly have known.

Robbie frowned as he thought back to their second meeting, how he had taunted her because she had threatened to take him from Gabe. He had been cruel, needlessly so, and she had never called him on it really. Even now she was being gentle about it, he was sure she would want a full apology in private. "Sorry about your friend."

Daisy nodded, she knew Robbie understood now was not the time, he was not as dense as she first thought. "Thank you, in a way you've taken his place."

Mack frowned glancing at Robbie, supper powered guy who cared only about helping Daisy but was becoming one of them. Robbie was learning to curb the Rider's kill everyone bad tendency so he was more enjoyable to have around, he really did grow on you. "At least he won't go Ward on us."

Robbie frowned slightly at Mack, he was a killer never a traitor, "Wrong type of demon."

"Oh honestly," Simmons chided them both, "Even if there are such things the forces of Hell are not appropriate conversation at a breakfast table, joking or otherwise."

Mack frowned, after all these people had seen and God was still not a concept they grasped, "Simmons..."

"Ah, ah, ah. Robbie I can forgive since he is new but religion and politics do not belong at the table," Simmons reminded the large man with a tsking finger.

"Daisy didn't tell me all the rules yet," Robbie turned to Daisy with a teasing half smirk.

"Been kinda busy but yeah partly my bad, still apologize to Simmons like a good boy," Daisy teased with her normal amused smirk. It was good seeing Robbie relaxing and joining in, having some normalcy in your life was important more so when you were far from normal.

Robbie arched a brow at Daisy but turned to Simmons, bowing his head, "Sorry, still learning."

"Not at all," Simmons assured their newest member with a smile, manners were very important and it was nice to see the former murderous vigilante had them.

Coulson smiled at his gathered team, this was what he liked to see. "I'll make sure to get you a list of the unwritten rules by the end of the day, and yes don't touch Lucy has been added."

Robbie nodded, Lucy was as indestructible as he was but it was the principle of the thing, a principle Coulson fully understood. "Might just have to have a friendly race sometime, I am curious to see what Lola can do."

"Could be fun," Coulson responded smiling a bit, testing his baby against a demon car could be fun, at least since the demon liked him. "Your unique talents behind the wheel may be of use working with agents, car chases are something that comes up."

Robbie frowned considering playing cat and mouse with a bunch of green agents, "I'll think about it."

"Oh please any excuse to race you'll take," Gabe reminded his brother with a laugh.

"He's not wrong," Robbie admitted with a shrug, he lived to race even now, somethings you were just born with.

"Personally I do not see the appeal. The science and the cars is of more interest to me then the racing and crashing." Fitz was curious about 'Lucy', more so when he heard it was just a customized car worked on by someone without their advanced tech. If 'Lucy' could give 'Lola' a run for the money it was worth studying.

"I don't let just anyone touch my car but I guess I could let you and Mack take a look...they are trusted around Lola right?" Robbie knew Mack would be gentle with his baby, a little teasing aside, but he was less familiar with Fitz.

"They will be very careful, or you are free to mess with them a little," Coulson knew his team would be careful even without the threat, though it was still fun to Troll them a little.

Robbie nodded, sounded good to him, "Sounds good."

"No roasting their hands like that punk they need those," Daisy warned grinning, that little brawl had ended well, and they had deserved it for trying to steal a wheelchair.

Fitz and Mack shared a look, Elena chuckled, "No roasting my man at all eh?"

"I'll do my best," Robbie assured Elena with a smirk, he and Mack had bonded so it was all good.

"If you have that much energy perhaps you'd like to spar?" May knew they were all just joking around but she was curious about what Robbie could do. If she could get him to agree she was willing to train him to be as dangerous as he could be without needing the flaming skull.

Robbie arched a brow at her, tilting his head as he looked her over, "I'm free."

May nodded, Daisy liked this man so did Coulson so she wanted to like him as well, at least give this newer less standoffish version a chance. "Daisy show him where when you're all done here."

"That lady is intense," Gabe commented watching her walk away.

Robbie nodded, "Been that way since we've met, brutal fighter though."

"Yeah she's who taught me, I didn't start out with powers." Daisy got why May wanted to spar with Robbie and was relived Robbie seemed to as well. The last thing she wanted was May and Robbie butting heads like they had when they had first met, they were all kinda sorta friends now, mostly.

Gabe nodded, Daisy had done just fine with a clearly hurt arm he had seen the bruises so he knew it had been nasty. Robbie already knew how to be brutal but more refined moves not so much, unless he had been learning those in secret along with his other job. "That frowning little Asian lady is going to kick his ass isn't she?"

"She can kick all our asses kid, trust me there is no shame in being floored by May." Mack may be built like a tank but May had taken him down more then once, skill was sill.

Robbie tilted his head slightly as he consider what he had seen of Mack fighting skills, "As long as I don't tick her off I think I'll be fine."

Daisy smiled patting Robbie's shoulder, "Learning already."

Coulson chuckled softly, May had not been thrilled with Robbie at first but he had helped with that. Now that the young man was no longer defensive and chomping at the bit he was rather pleasant, Coulson fully understood why Daisy had been drawn to him. "She is not ticked off at you, besides you can heal."

Simmons tilted her head, none of the Inhumans she knew of had any rapid healing abilities, a bit odd considering they were originally designed to be weapons. Since he burned the flesh from his skull away and then grew it back he would have to have some sort of healing ability, Inhuman or otherwise. "Well he could survive in the Demon Core so a bout with May should be rather painless."

"If she was ticked I'd rather face the core," Mack chimed in seriously, he had no desire to get on May's bad side.

Robbie shook his head, even being the Rider in that box had hurt, "Noted." Glancing at Daisy he nodded getting to his feet, his brother would be just fine without him for a little while. "If it glows don't touch it."

"Seen that movie, didn't end well, go do whatever it is they need you to do I'll be fine." Gabe knew Robbie's friends would keep an eye on him, Mack was pretty normal and not just because he didn't have powers.

Daisy smiled as she hooked Robbie's arm with her own, "Come on you before May does get ticked at you for keeping her waiting, she hates that."

ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE, AND THE PLACE YOU NEED TO REACH

"After the whole Ward thing I let May know I wish I could channel some of that hate fu and she was all 'I'm up most mornings at five.' True to her word she taught me to channel, it came in handy when I was learning to use my quake abilities since me stressed equaled quakes back then. You don't have that problem, but learning hate fu will mean you won't have to call the Rider as often to deal with those locos."

Robbie nodded, learning more advanced fighting skills would come in handy if he was going to stick around even part time. "Everyone get hate fu training?"

"Agents get trained sure but those of us who are the Team only if we ask really. You my flaming friend are part of that inner circle while here so if you want lessons ask nicely." Daisy had learned well from Ward then May, she wanted Robbie to learn too. Sure he was impossible to kill, maybe, mostly, but if he could avoid getting hurt all the better. May wanted to like him and fighting was how May bonded really, besides Robbie could take a beating.

"Hey now, I'm just offering my skills to keep the world form going to Hell, not volunteering to play super spy full time." Robbie protested frowning, being trusted was a great feeling but he was a fighter not a planner on the level the Team needed in order to keep S.H.I.E.L.D. going no mater what.

"Master the hate fu my young padawan and all will be well," Daisy teased with mock seriousness as she entered the gym May favored.

Robbie rolled his eyes but let it go as she entered the room and nodded in greeting to May, who nodded back also saying nothing. Turning to Daisy he smiled, "We hooking up for lunch?"

Daisy nodded, lunch sounded good be it a group or more pair activity, "You're on Reyes, be gentle with him May hm?"

"I'll be fine Chica, go be brilliant somewhere eh?" Robbie half smirked at the spitfire, he could not ask for a better partner now that they had stopped fight each other.

Daisy flicked his forehead with a huff, smirking up at him she just stood there for a moment, "Please, I can be brilliant anywhere you're the one who needs training. Bye, bye now kiddies."

May nodded as a goodbye waiting to see if he would need any prompting, he seemed able to think on his feet just fine. Falling into a defensive stance she watched alert eyes follow her movements with a slight frown, gloved hands coming up like a boxer with a nod. Returning his nod she lashed out, time to see how much training he would truly need.

ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE, AND THE PLACE YOU NEED TO REACH

And that is the end of chapter one, maybe I should stop watching all those short QuakeRider MVs on YouTube...thoughts? Chapter 2 will be the sparring and what will lead us to chapter 3, looking at 4-5 total with possible One Shot or full fledged sequel depending on Muses and any suggestions made in Comments/Reviews. Feel free to read both One Shots, they might amuse you as well if this has. Later my fellow AOS fans.
