All the simple pleasantries a follower should yearn

Now all that I can do is watch them burn

And wish that I could save them all, or just one"

Location: Avengers Tower, New York City.

[ 3rd POV ]

Within the workshop, the song Justify by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus played over the speakers.

Brendan had not left the workshop since Eligos had taken over his body yesterday. He had been working on Lucy some more, adding new modifications to her in terms of defenses.

The biggest addition was an internal device within the engine which Brendan called a Soul Drive. It was a culmination of both Brendan and Eligos's genius. The Soul Drive would allow Eligos to safely leave Brendan's body and possess Lucy, without risk of Brendan losing his powers.

Other additions mainly came from some of Tony's old armor variants. Lucy was now capable of flight. Using a combination of the beastly 426 Hemi that was housed within the Charger's engine compartment and Eligos's power, the car would be able to reach speeds that exceed even Tony's newest suits. The car also was equipped with repulser blasters, heat and electronic seeking missiles, duel fusion lances, as well as an EMP generator. The blower could also now double as a flamethrower.

As Brendan wiped his face of sweat with a rag, he looked over the car once more as he had just finished waxing down Lucy for a second time due to him installing the new upgrades.

"Hey, look at the bright side! You'll be able to join the battle and not just be a backseat rider in my body." Brendan commented, earning a little chuckle from Eligos.

{ Finally! I get in on the action! Not that I don't enjoy being in here, but I'd like to be able to kick some ass once in a while. } Eligos said rather happily, earning a small smile from Brendan.

Brendan caught the sight of someone heading into the workshop as he reached over and cut off the music, turning around to be greeted with the sight of his father.

Tony entered the workshop, his eyes looking around the room as parts of old suits of armor were scattered amongst the area. Pieces missing from them which were now installed within Lucy.

"I hope you didn't mind? I kinda had a bunch of ideas in mind for Lucy and I couldn't help myself." Brendan said to Tony, who walked over towards his son who was currently standing next to Lucy. The older Stark then placed a hand on the roof of the car, feeling over the smooth exterior before looking at his son.

"Listen, I..I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. I sometimes keep forgetting that you're not a child anymore, but instead an adult. I felt like I wasn't going to be able to protect you anymore. That I'd—"

Brendan stopped his father, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Dad, you will always be there to protect me. And now I'll be there to protect you. We're family, we look out for one another. That's how it works." Brendan told him, a smile on his features.

Tony began to give a small smile as looked down at the car, then back at Brendan.

"Me and the others did a lot of thinking, and we thought you would considering joining us? Being part of the Avengers?" Tony asked his son, which received a shocked yet happy expression from Brendan.

"You...you're serious? You want me to be an Avenger?" He asked, wanting to be sure that his dad wasn't messing with him.

Tony nodded, he was indeed serious. "You're an adult, and my son. You are allowed to make your own decisions."

Brendan looked down at Lucy for a few long moments, a sigh passing him before looking at his dad.

"Well, I got one thing to ask then?"

Tony's brow raised "What is it?"

Brendan's lips curved into a smirk "Will I get another chance to kick Ultron's ass?"

That earned a laugh from Tony as he gave his son a warm embrace. The tension between the Tony Stark and his son had seemed to disappear completely.

[ Later On ]

The Avengers had finally gotten a fix on where Ultron was gonna be. As he was looking to acquire Vibranium, but the purpose for getting it was still unknown to them.

Brendan had decided to wear his new attire, which consisted of black jeans, sneakers and a black short sleeve shirt. And fingerless leather gloves. Overtop of that shirt was his custom jacket. It was black leather, and on the front of the jacket was the symbol of the Ghost Rider which was stitched with white leather.

It wasn't like armor or a bulletproof suit, but it was perfect in Brendan's eyes.

Brendan had asked if he could take Lucy instead of getting onto the Quinjet, and of course was given the OK to do say as Tony knew of the modifications that he had installed into the car.

The Avengers boarded the Quinjet, which was on the landing pad. Lucy being parked right next to them as Brendan climbed into the driver's seat of the vehicle. Tony walked up to the cockpit and looked out the window to watch and see if his son's modifications held up.

"Alright, let's see if our brilliance paid off." Brendan told Eligos, as he reached forward and turned the keys that were housed within the ignition into the start. This caused the monstrous 426 Hemi to roar to life with primal fury.

{ My fingers are metaphorically crossed right now! } Eligos said, rather eager to see how this went.

Brendan reached down and a 3D menu appeared right next to him, he hit the button that said 'Initiate Flight Sequence' as it blinked a few times before the transformation began.

[ Insert Theme - Light Is Green By Kazuma Jinnouchi ]

Underneath the chassis of Lucy, twin stabilizers unfolded in the front and rear axels which ignited with light blue flames. This pushed the Charger off the ground by a few feet, making it hover as the wheels folded into the wheel wells.

Black plates slid over the exposed wheel wells that locked into place. The rear fenders folded outward, forming wing like appendages. The rear taillights folded up to reveal rows of thrusters housed within the taillights. Which light with blue energy.

Within Lucy, all the readings that Brendan was receiving on Lucy's 3D console were reading green across the board.

"IT WORKED! MY GOD IT WORKED! I AM A FUCKING GENIUS!" Brendan exclaimed happily. The steering wheel suddenly transformed, turning into a control wheel similar to ones on jet planes.

{ THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME! } Eligos screamed, just as happy as Brendan was.

Within the Quinjet, Tony could only grin ear to ear at the sight of the now flying '69 Charger. Maria had a smug expression on her face as she saw it.

"I should tell Coulson about this, he might get jealous and want to upgrade Lola further." Maria thought to herself, chuckling at the thought.

"Alright, let's move out." Tony said, as Brendan reached down and yanked back the throttle that had now replaced the gearshift. The rear thrusters whirred, combining with the 426 Hemi as Lucy took flight into the sky, with the Quinjet following closely behind.

Location: Salvage Yards, African Coast

It didn't take them long for them to arrive to their destination, which was a savage yard on the African Coast. Brendan landed Lucy closer towards the location where Ultron was since his vehicle was smaller and harder to track.

Brendan exited Lucy, walking around as he opened the trunk to reveal that he had an assortment of weapons. He grabbed only what he needed: His Hellfire Chain, which was an upgraded chain that hand a handle attached on the end for Brendan to grab a hold of. And he also grabbed his shotgun, which was a Winchester Model 1887 Lever Action Shotgun. The weapon had been modified and can also transform if Brendan channels some of Eligos's powers into the gun. He holstered it on his back as he wrapped the Hellfire chain around his torso.

Closing the trunk, he quickly made his way inside as he made it to where Ultron was. And where the rest of the Avengers were gathering as he could hear Ultron yelling.

"It's a thing with me. Stark is, he's a sickness!" Ultron yelled as Brendan could now see him, he had another body now. This one appearing to be of his own design as it wasn't anything like an Iron Man suit.

Speaking of, Iron Man landed right down behind Ultron as the rest of the Avengers joined in.

"Aw, Junior. You're gonna break your old man's heart." Tony quipped

Ultron turned around, being greeted with the Avengers as well as Brendan. The young Stark also noticed two others with Ultron, a man and woman. Tony had said their names were Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. They were enhanced individuals. As his dad put: Pietro is fast and Wanda is weird.

"If I have to." Ultron told Tony.

Thor decided to speak up. "We don't have to break anything."

"Clearly you've never made an omelet." Ultron said to Thor.

"He beat me by one second." Tony commented, as Brendan shook his head.

This time, Pietro was the one to speak up as he stepped forward.

"Ah, this is funny, Mr. Stark. It's what, comfortable? Like old times?" Pietro gestured all the Stark Industries weapons that were surrounding them as Brendan's eyes locked onto the white haired male.

"This was never my life." Tony said, still feeling guilt stricken about what he had done in the past.

Steve looked over at the twins "You two can still walk away from this."

Now, it was Wanda's turn to interject. "Oh, we will."

"I know you've suffered." Steve tried to explain as Ultron cut them all off.

"Uuughh! Captain America. God's righteous man, pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..." Ultron was then cut off by Thor.

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it." Thor asked Ultron, who seemed to not care.

"I think you're confusing peace with quiet." Ultron said to Thor before his eyes looked upon Brendan.

"And you. I remember you, the last time I saw you, or better say the first, you were a bit...heated." Ultron spoke to the younger Stark, who seemed to only smirk.

"And when I saw you last, I had put a nice hole in your head.

Let's see if you'll last longer this time, okay? I want a nice challenge." Brendan cracked his neck.

Pietro looked at Brendan, his eyes narrowed dangerously at the younger male.

"You are a Stark? You do not have the same fire as he does. . ."

Brendan chuckled as he looked over towards Pietro.

"Nah, bro. Mine's much worse." He threatened.

"We'll see about that, boy." Pietro threatened right back, he seemed itchy to want to hurt Brendan.

"What's the Vibranium for?" Tony asked.

"I'm glad you asked that, because I wanted to take the time to explain about my evil plan," Ultron mocked, in an instance he had blasted Tony up against the wall and the two took their fight to the air.

"You ready to rumble, Eli?" Brendan asked Eligos who only chuckled happily.

{ Damn right! Let's get the hurt train a-rollin! } Eligos exclaimed, which was all Brendan needed to hear as he gripped the hand of the Hellfire Chain and with a yank it unraveled quickly around his torso and ignited aflame with Hellfire.

The Iron Legions attacked, flying at Tony, Steve, Thor and Brendan. The young Stark whipped the Hellfire chain forward and swatted one of them out of the air, this caused the metal soldier to suddenly to combust and turn into a pile of ash.

Another iron soldier tried to rush him from behind but Brendan had quicker reflexes, he reached back and grabbed his shotgun and took aim. Pulling the trigger, the round hit the legion soldier with brute force as it ripped a hole directly into its chest. Brendan grabbed the soldier by his head and the proceeded to yank it off with ease.

Wanda stood in the shadows, watching the fight. "It's time for some mind games" One of Ultron's copies muttered to Wanda and the brunette slunk into the shadows.

Brendan watched as Wanda tried to run, and quickly rushed after her. Wrapping the Hellfire Chain around his torso and bolstering his shotgun. He soon found himself in some narrow corridors as he looked around, trying to locate her.

As he rounded a corner, Wanda came out from behind him and used her special ability to try and mess with is mind. The feeling however only felt like a tingle to Brendan's mind. Wanda was shocked and confused, her powers could break even the strongest of minds and yet he didn't seem to budge.

And it also alerted him that Wanda was right behind him as Brendan turned around and grabbed Wanda's hand as she struggled to try and escape. But Brendan only seemed to keep her there as he looked directly into her eyes, peering right down into her soul.

"What are you!?" Wanda demanded, still trying to break free.

{ She's spilled innocent blood, she's guilty! } Eligos said, which was all the confirmation Brendan needed to hear.

"I guess it's time for you to pay for your sins. . ." Brendan told Wanda as his eyes glowed brightly with orange fire, before the skin on his started to burn off into ashes all the way down to the bone. His eyes vanished out of the sockets of his skull and instead were replaced with two burning red orbs. The skull lit aflame and the scars along the top baseline of the skull glowed brightly. A demonic roar leaving the mouth as the transformation was complete.

Brendan was now the Ghost Rider.

Wanda stared at the now transformed Brendan with fear, it was like the devil was staring right at her. Ghost Rider grabbed Wanda's shoulders as he pinned her to the wall, his glowing orbs staring even deeper into Wanda's soul. Wanda herself slammed her eyes shut as she waited for the end.

Ghost Rider's hand extended out as a fireball manifested into it, he was ready to claim her soul. But as he looked deeper into her soul, he saw something. He saw a frightened little girl, someone who had suffered all her life. She and her brother had their parents taken away from them. Just like Brendan had his taken away from her.

Ghost Rider's head tilted, as the flames seemed to change color to a soft blue. Wanda's eyes opened slowly to see the fireball in his hand vanish. Ghost Rider released Wanda's shoulders and stepped back from her. Before he could walk away, he was blindsided by Pietro who sent him flying down the hall and into the wall.

As Pietro prepared to collect Wanda, she looked at Ghost Rider who was now getting back onto his feet. For some reason, she didn't feel as afraid. She had felt something within him too. Before Brendan had transformed, she saw his eyes. She could see the pain he was holding within him, he had lost something dear to him too.

Her thoughts were interrupted as Pietro grabbed her and zoomed out of the corridor with his super speed, leaving the Ghost Rider behind. Ghost Rider picked himself up, looking back where Wanda had used to be.

{ You hesitated! Why didn't you take her soul? } Eligos asked as Ghost Rider seemed to not answer, he instead left the corridor. He needed to regroup with the others.
