Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'll try to update sooner, but I'm really sick. I hope you like this. If you have any questions just ask. Some things even to me don't make sense. Please read and review.

Audrey walked into the bar and grill. Flame was close to her side behind her. Flame tensed as she walked in. Audrey knew she was sensing all the evil coming from the bar. She could feel it too. Audrey walked up to the bartender.

"Hello," she said with a smile, "May I ask; where does the man called Johnny Blaze sit when he comes here?" The man looked at her and shrugged. He walked off. She scowled under her breath. She looked around. The people at the tables began to clear out. It was almost dark.

Then she felt it. Flame also tensed up beside her. The man at the bar was emitting evil. He was planning something. "Hey," he called to them. Audrey put on her best fake smile and walked over. "She looked at the man. He was ragged and she could smell the liquor on his breath.

"Yes?" she said. The man grinned. "I know where the stunt man sits." Audrey's smile disappeared. "And where might that be?" The man tried to reach out for her, but she backed away before he could. The man brought his arm back to himself.

Audrey could feel Flame tensing up behind her. Probably trying not to hit something. The man looked at them. "I'll tell you," he said, "for a price." He looked up at Audrey with a wicked grin on his face. Audrey put on a fake smile and said, "I won't be able to help you with that. But maybe my friend here will."

Flame stepped out of her place halfway behind Audrey. The man's eyes lit up. "That will do," he said. "The man sits over there at that table," he added as he pointed out a table in the corner of the restaurant part of the place.

He stood up and began to walk towards a door in the back that Audrey and Flame knew to be the street. Flame looked seriously irritated. "Flame," Audrey mumbled under her breath, she knew she would hear her, "Don't hurt or kill the man." Flame looked at the ceiling and nodded.

Audrey walked over to the table as Flame and the man walked out the door. She sat down and put her feet on the table. Her duster stayed on the ground. She pulled it over her legs, so it wasn't touching the ground.

She sat there until she felt him outside. The Rider was coming to the bar and grill. She tensed up and calmed herself down. Johnny Blaze walked into the bar and grill and started to walk towards the table. I wonder how long it will take him to notice the demon powers in me, I know he can sense them, Audrey thought as he walked.

All of the sudden Johnny stopped and looked at her. He was four feet from the table. "Um, excuse me, but you're in my chair," he said as he tried to control the Rider. Audrey put on her fake smile again, "Hello Johnny."

Johnny tensed as he realized that she was sent. He sat down. We are in a public place, he thought. "Um, hello?" Audrey smiled again. She pulled her feet off of the table and sat up straight. She was pretty tall for a woman.

Johnny looked at her, "I know what you are. Can we talk outside?" Audrey's smile turned into a slight grin. "I was thinking that maybe we could stay in here. I didn't come to hurt you." Johnny had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Well, what did you come for?" he asked.

"I came for the powers of the Rider." Johnny looked at her. "You were sent by Mephistopheles."

"Yep, sent to get the powers back before something bad happens."

"I've got control of the power by now," Johnny said, some anger rising from him. "Oh, I wasn't talking about you, Rider." Audrey said as she looked at him. She knew, even if he was good, she might could still hurt him with her touch.

"What were you talking about then?" Johnny asked, a little sarcastically. "Well, if you must know..." Audrey replied. "You didn't kill Blackheart last time." Johnny's face turned to shock. "I did his father was mad, but he took him back with him."

Audrey raised her eyebrows, "Yes, but that doesn't mean that Blackheart was dead. You may have put him in a coma like all other victims of the Penance stare, but if you remember there was something important you were forgetting."

"What may that be?" asked Johnny.

"When Blackheart said he didn't have a soul, he meant it. You may have made him feel the pain of the other souls, but it wasn't his own. As soon as he got back to Hell, all the souls came rushing out of him." Audrey didn't mention Blackheart had a soul, it was always in Hell.

"So, he's still alive." Johnny said.

"Yes, and very irritating." Audrey said as she remembered all the shouting coming from Blackheart the last few days.

"He's coming back?" Johnny asked.

"In a few days if I can't get the power back."

"Why you?"

"Hmm?"

"Why were you sent to get the power back?" Johnny asked Audrey.

"Oh, because of my bonds," she said as she raised her left hand showing him her wedding ring.

"You're married?" Johnny asked, disbelief again coloring his tone.

"Well, yes. You didn't think demons could get married?" Johnny shook his head.

"Well they can." Johnny stood up then and walked to the door in the back that led outside. Audrey was right behind him. He walked out. Audrey right behind him. The sight was slightly funny as they walked out into the alley.

The man from earlier was running away from Flame who was in the middle of the alley. Flame turned and saw the Rider who immediately turned and started walking towards Flame. Audrey stepped in between them.

"Please don't hurt my sidekick," she said as he pushed by her. She walked away and sat on the side of the alley. She had a job to do and she wasn't getting sent back early.

The Rider and Flame fought until he got a good hold on her and let his Hellfire burn her alive. Tierre popped up and tried to fight but he got rid of him like he had Gressil. Audrey sat there and thought, Now I have to do my own errands.

Flusso popped up and was easily disposed of. Audrey stood and walked up to the Rider who was now coming to finish her off. "Johnny," she said in warning, but he grabbed her around the throat. She knew she was going to have bruises.

He lifted her up off the ground as she held what little breath she had. The Rider was oblivious to the pain that would too soon render him incapacitated. "Your blood is stained by the blood of the innocent." Yeah right, I'm the most innocent. "Feel their pain."

Right before he looked into her eyes the innocence hit him. He crumpled to the ground and disappeared, leaving a shocked Johnny behind. He was still in pain as she sat down on the ground next to him.

"Thanks for getting rid of those guys," she said trying to get his mind off of the pain, "They were starting to get on my nerves." He stood up and asked, "How did you do that?" As Audrey stood up he turned around.

She smiled, "Go Rider. I'll be in touch." She disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. Leaving Johnny looking shocked.

Meanwhile: Present

Blackheart kept thinking about her. He hoped the Rider wouldn't hurt her. He wanted to see her so bad. Then he had an idea. He stood up and teleported to his father's study. Mephistopheles looked up at his son's entrance.

Mephistopheles thought Blackheart looked like a little kid who was upset about the death of a family member. He found it quite amusing. "What do you need Blackheart?" he asked. Blackheart looked at him like he was frustrated.

"Can I use the mirror?" he asked a little embarrassed. Mephistopheles smiled from his desk. "To see your faithful wife?" he asked.

"Yes," Blackheart replied. Mephistopheles waved his hand and a floor length ornate mirror rose in the middle of the floor. Blackheart last used this to look at Audrey before they were married, how ironic. Blackheart remembered what to do.

"Show me Audrey," he said to the mirror. The mirror was smart enough to know which one he was talking about. Immediately the mirror showed an empty room. Blackheart was starting to wonder if the mirror was smart enough when Audrey popped up in the middle of the room.

He watched her with longing. The Seductress' words were getting to him. "The wife you've never touched." she said. Blackheart had never touched Audrey. She had requested a separate bedroom from the beginning. They never had a honeymoon.

He just wanted to touch her cheek. Her lips. To kiss her once. He knew she was at the Rider's place. Waiting for him to return. This was her chance to see her family. He also knew she would never succeed. He wouldn't willingly give up the power. He hoped Audrey would think of a plan.

He hoped she would find a way to get to her family. He would let her go anyway when she got back though. He desperately wished, as he watched her, that she still loved him. But he did hurt her.

He remembered that day. He was so busy trying to take over that he had broke all promises to her. He had promised to stay with her. She was actually willing to go to Hell as long as he was there. He kept away from her for a week.

He ran into her literally. He caught her before she fell. He could feel the anger radiating through her. So he let her go. "You stupid, unreliable, lying, workaholic piece of crap!" she yelled at him. He was astounded. She stalked off and he never had a civil conversation with her again.

When he or she tried to talk to each other they lost their tempers and fought until they just stopped talking. One time Mephistopheles walked up to him and said, "Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned." He chuckled as he walked away.

Blackheart came back to the present and watched his one and only love sit down and wait impatiently. Blackheart had enough and walked out of the room. He teleported to the library and kept looking through books.

He sat there and looked until he just put his head down on his arms. He missed her so much. Thinking about her made his heart ache. If only she still loved me, he thought. He then had an idea. Then chuckled at how cheesy it sounded, even though it made his heart ache.

I'll let her go because I love her.

Please tell me if you like my Blackheart. I changed him into what I thought he might be like love stricken. What do you think I should do next? Please review. You can PM me also if you want. Anonymous reviews accepted. Please!
