So, I've had this plot in my head for a while now. I read a Covenant/Ghost Rider fic once and it made me come up with my own spin off of the crossover. I can't remember the name of the fic off the top of my head but to my knowledge mine and theirs won't be similar. I hope ya'll missed me. I know I've been bad and I said I wouldn't start another one until I finished my others but this is one I'm writing to relieve me of stress while I'm studying for finals.

It was storming outside. Tyler had called the other three boys over to the old colony house and none of them had arrived yet. That worried him. Reid was normally the first to arrive since he was in such close proximity, but with the weather taking a turn for the worse who knew how long it would take them. The young brunette stood gazing out the window, watching raindrops stream down to the windowsill while he waited. A hand on his shoulder made him jump.
"What brings you here on a night like this?" Gorman asked. While Tyler didn't want to worry the old man, he also realized that Gorman knew he would not be there if something were not wrong. The boys needed the book tonight. Even though it was a vague excuse, Gorman dismissed it and just nodded. The old man remained moving about the house and Tyler could tell that he felt just as anxious that the boys had not arrived yet. Tyler glanced down at his watch. He'd been waiting by the window for an hour.
Something was wrong.
The young witch dug his cell out of his slacks. He'd come straight from the school, startled to a point he'd never been before. He drove to the colony house in record time, luckily it hadn't begun raining at that point. He went to the basement and sat shaking for a good hour before finally feeling he could call everyone else without his voice betraying him, showing the others how startled he was.
Reid had been the first one he called. He was the closest not just in distance but also in friendship. The two of them had become even closer, although no one thought it was possible for two people to become closer than they already were. The blonde had assured him that he'd be there within the hour, but something had happened. '"Reid would never lie to me," Tyler reassured himself, "Something must have happened." The thunder startled Tyler out of his thoughts. It was now that he realized he'd never really stopped shaking. The sooner the other boys got there the sooner they could figure something out.
Like a beam of hope, headlights shined through the window. At seeing the black car Tyler smiled, Reid was finally here. The blonde witch bolted up to the door and Tyler couldn't tell if he was trying to get out of the rain or if he was concerned. As he entered the colony house Reid turned to the window where he knew Tyler would be waiting.
Tyler looked like a nervous wreck. He still had slight remnants of his school uniform: slacks, belt, and white collared shirt. What concerned Reid the most was Tyler had removed his tie and the front of his shirt was smeared with blood. "Shit," was the first word Reid uttered. He approached the brunette, letting his hands come up and grasp the blood stained clothing. "This is bad," the blonde frowned, "How bad was it?" Reid didn't need the boy to answer. The brunette was still shaking and pale. He couldn't look Reid in the eye. "You'll be ok, I promise." Tyler just shook his head, fighting back tears. "No, you'll be ok! I'd never lie to you." After a slight pause Tyler finally nodded. Reid told him to go sit in the sanctuary and the youngest brother reluctantly did as he was told.
Reid stood for a moment lost in his own thoughts when a creaking told him that he wasn't alone in the room. "It shouldn't have taken me this long," Reid turned to face the caretaker, "How has he been doing?"
Gorman shook his head before uttering a long sigh. "He hasn't spoken since he got here. He hid in the sanctuary for an hour before he called any of you and he refused to move from the window before you arrived." Reid nodded, his gaze returning to the window as another car pulled into the driveway. A wave of dizziness hit him and he had to grasp the wall for support. The car one was silver, Caleb's. Someone was getting out on the passenger side, which told Reid that Caleb had picked Pogue up along the way. The final two brothers did a similar sprint to the front door and upon entering turned immediately to Reid.
"Where's Tyler?" Caleb asked relieved that Reid was here.
"I told him to wait in the sanctuary. He's shaken up. I've never seen a premonition do this to him." Just before all of the boys ascended they developed a power unique from one another. Caleb's had been an undeniable strength. That strength plus his father's and his ascension allowed him to defeat Chase. Pogue could create barriers that couldn't be penetrated. His power made him practically invincible since any blow, magic or otherwise, couldn't hurt him. Reid's power was an all-seeing sight. He could see 360 degrees around him at all times, even through walls and other objects and for as far as he wanted. Tyler's power was future sight.
However, all of the boys' powers came with disadvantages. With Caleb's strength came fatigue that would put him into a coma for days. Pogue could only hold his shield for a minute at a time. Reid would have dizzy spells, which would overcome all of his senses. Tyler would get nosebleeds and his premonitions were uncontrollable.
"So just how bad was this one?" Pogue asked shaking the water from his long brown hair.
"Bad." Reid said simply. "The whole front of his shirt is covered in blood.
"Shit." The other two boys echoed his earlier sentiments.
The three boys opened the door to the sanctuary. It was dark, pitch black, but they had walked the spiral stairs a hundred times before. The three older witches could tell that Tyler had already disabled the traps so they quickened the descent into the sacred room. The further they walked they could see candles lit below, their faint light giving them distance markers until they reached the bottom. Tyler was already seated in his place, the bench on the lower left arm of the pentagram. Reid next to him at the lower right arm and Pogue sat at the upper left arm. The upper right arm belonged to Caleb but the top remained empty. That would've been Chase's spot.
In the dim candle light of he sanctuary Caleb and Pogue could finally get a good look at Tyler. His body was glowing, drenched in sweat. His hair was plastered to his forehead. The front of his shirt was sickeningly damp with blood and stuck to his heaving chest. The young witch was shaking uncontrollably and fighting to keep his eyes open. Caleb and Pogue were in shock, the premonitions had never been this bad.
"Tyler look at me." Caleb commanded. He could see the warning signs of another premonition happening. Tyler was fighting to keep his eyes open and his body had become limp. Tyler once described the feeling that came over him right before a premonition happened.
Caleb and Tyler had homeroom together when Tyler had gone completely limp and his nose began to bleed furiously. After escorting him to the nurse Caleb demanded to know what happened. "My head hurt a lot. Then, suddenly I felt uneven, almost like being dizzy. I couldn't keep my eyes open no matter how hard I tried and then I was outside my body. I was seeing things happen that never happened. I think I saw the future." Suddenly it occurred to Caleb what had just happened. Their baby boy just developed his own unique power. Caleb hugged him in the tightest embrace and when he pulled away Tyler just grinned, "I knew that was going to happen."
However all Caleb could think of was how to keep Tyler from having another premonition. He jumped off his bench and moved in front of Tyler, Reid and Pogue on his heels. "I can't make them stop, Caleb." Tyler's words slurred together, causing the older boy to frown. The way Tyler was slouched over and at this point leaning heavily on Reid meant he had already lost control of his body. There was nothing they could do but let the premonition come.
"Baby boy, it's too late to stop it. Just don't fight it. We'll be here to wake you up," Reid reassured him. He ran a hand absent mindedly through the younger boy's hair in an attempt to calm him down. Since Reid and Tyler shared a dorm, Reid had gotten used to the motions that he knew would make Tyler relax and performed them flawlessly. Pogue, however, had never witnessed Tyler having a premonition and watched in wide-eyed wonder.
"No, please," Tyler begged, his eyes becoming heavier and heavier, "no more." His nose began to bleed, adding to the already large collection of blood on his shirt. Finally, Tyler blacked out into sweet oblivion. Reid caught Tyler as his body became fully limp and held him, ready for the ambush of tears that would come when Tyler woke up.
"What do we do?" Pogue asked, very unnerved by the whole experience.
"We wait. When he starts to wake up then we wake him up because it helps him come out of it faster. Then we let him lay down and wait 'till he starts talking about it." Reid said nonchalantly. He'd been there for most of Tyler's premonitions and the recovery pattern was always the same. "What worries me is Tyler has never had two in one day." Reid paused as he watched tears stream out of Tyler's eyes, "and the one's he's had have never been this bad. He's going to need a lot of rest." Pogue just nodded and began biting his nails, a nervous habit that he just picked up.
Tyler sprung up, scaring the other three boys. His eyes were wide and full of tears. His chest was heaving. The blood had run down his chin leaving the others a chilling sight. "In four days I will become very ill," Tyler said, however the voice wasn't quite Tyler's. There was something wrong. Something the others couldn't place which sent chills down their spines. "I will be taken by forces unknown. Do not fight for me, as it is futile. This is your warning." Tyler's eyes rolled back in his head and he collapsed again.
"That's new." Reid attempted to lighten the situation, but all three of them knew that Tyler's premonitions were never wrong.
Alright guys, there's my start. If anyone wants to offer to beta that'd be cool. Otherwise I'm gonna try to get a new chapter out every couple of days. Thanks
