Peace and Quiet

Bruce was in the bat cave looking over the files of each Ghost Rider he's so far encountered including Sean.

"It doesn't make sense how can there be so many Ghost Riders at once?" Bruce asked himself.

"Do you ever give up." Sean said from the shadows making his eyes widen as he turned around and faced him while Sean just had an amused smirk on his face. "Surprise." Sean said.

"How did you get in here?" Bruce asked.

"Relax Bruce I'm not here to fight. I found who you were exactly after putting a few pieces together that didn't add up such as your equipment. No Vigilante has high tech weapons or vehicles like yours unless they either A, are rich and powerful or B under government contract and then I realized exactly which of the two it was. I guess it explains why your so stubborn about my methods and the other Riders. Both of us are similar in more ways then one with our past." Sean said calmly making Bruce lower his guard slightly seeing he wasn't a threat.

"So why are you here?" Bruce asked.

"I figured it was time to let you know I figured out who you were and don't worry Talbot and I haven't said a word to anyone I respect you to much for that even though you did nearly kill Carter and kidnap my sisters but I understood your reason." Sean said.

"I am sorry for that but I couldn't take a chance that you and the other Riders would eventually kill innocent people." Bruce said making Sean nod.

"I understand that however though that cant happen. You see the Ghost Rider state basically only lets us kill those who are guilty of crimes that are unforgivable." Sean said.

"Like the Joker and those killed in Arkham. Did you order that attack?" Bruce asked.

"Not even close that was Blaze acting on his own though Talbot and I were going to do that anyway with all the evidence we've collected from the few good guards from that hell hole." Sean said.

"The few good guards?" Bruce said confused.

"I told you when you attacked me the first time remember. 90% of the guards had innocent blood on their hands either for letting the many bad nut jobs in that place free or accepted bribes. The system is extremely flawed but people wont change it and you can guess why." Sean said making Bruce narrow his eyes for not seeing that.

"I wasn't aware of that." Bruce said.

"Nor was Commissioner Gorden or his daughter Barbra or should I call her batgirl?" Sean asked amused making Bruce roll his eyes seeing his small crime fighting family was caught. "Anyway that problem has been taken care of and ever since the Chitauri invasion things have been pretty quiet since criminals are afraid of the League the Defenders and the Avengers now." Sean said.

"Ive noticed but it wont last long though. Soon they'll come back again." Bruce said.

"True but a friend of yours might be able to stop that." Sean said confusing him.

"Meaning?" Bruce asked.

"Come by my office tomorrow and you'll see." Sean said as he was engulfed in white flames and vanished. Bruce being curious now decided to take up on that offer.

Next day

"Well look who it is." Talbot said to Bruce.

"Still holding a grudge?" Bruce asked.

"A little since you held one of our projects down with that nitrogen you threw at Carter." Talbot said.

"Ok enough." Sean said walking in. "Now as I promised." Sean said pressing a button on the desk. "Sally bring him in." Sean said to Sally on the phone.

"Right away." Sally said.

A few moments passed and the doors opened as Sally walked in along with to Bruce's surprise a fully healed Harvey Dent.

"Harvey?" Bruce said in shock.

"Bruce its good to see you again." Harvey said shaking his hand.

"We managed to heal the burned skin and tissue that was damaged along with getting rid of his other half." Sean said.

"How?" Bruce asked.

"Special shock treatment. We've created a special drug for people with his former condition added with shock treatment and gets rid of it for good." Sean said.

"Isn't that a little dangerous?" Bruce asked.

"It would have been if we didn't test it out first. Harvey volunteered for the test and as you can see it clearly worked. He's been given a full pardon for his former crimes as Two Face." Sean said.

"This talk is going to have to wait I still have a few more tests on him to confirm his mental state along with his physical." Sally said as she and Harvey walked away.

"I'm at a loss for words and thats a rare thing you'll hear from me." Bruce said with a smile.

"I knew you'd like it. Blaze spared him because he knew he wasn't entirely to blame for what happened to him for becoming two face." Sean said.

"What about the Riddler though correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't his life ruined and made him into what he was?" Bruce asked.

"He had all that intelligence and instead of starting over he hurt and killed hundreds of innocent people and showed no remorse so no." Sean said before out of nowhere General Hardcastle barged in along General Ross though the later of the two tried to stop the former.

"We've got some business to talk about you brat!" Hardcastle yelled slamming his fist on his desk.

"I'm sorry he wouldn't listen to me." Ross said scratching the back of his head.

"What business?" Sean asked.

"About your Ghost Rider friend giving Superman his powers back thats what you stupid shit!" HardCastle yelled before Sean punched him in the face hard sending him to the ground.

"Let me be clear on something general." Sean said mocking him with the last word. "I only needed Superman out of the way till the Defenders group was finally finished forming which it has been for months. It was created to fight against him should history repeat itself and he gets brainwashed or goes rogue. Second of all you will not order me around your rank I know from detailed reports has been diminished greatly since your little stunt of nearly killed SuperGirl." Sean said glaring at him for that part.

"They all deserve to die ARGH!" Hardcastle yelled as Sean stomped on his chest hard making him spit out some blood.

"Sean enough." Ross said making Sean scoff before kicking Hard castle away.

"Lets try to calm down here." Talbot said.

"Oh I'm very calm here. I just wont stand for a disgrace to the military to think he can order me around like one of his worthless pawns." Sean said making Hardcastle growl and tried to charge at him had security not arrived and detained him.

"You wont get away with this Brat!" Hardcastle yelled in rage.

"I'll make sure he gets a proper court martial and his status is demoted further down." Ross said.

"Do whatever you can if it shuts him up and makes him miserable." Sean said as he left.

"Wasn't expecting that." Talbot said.

"I was. I knew eventually Hardcaslte would make a scene or something about Superman getting his powers back. Just didn't count on it being in my office of all places. This will doubt get him thrown out of the military." Sean said.

"Personal issues against one another?" Bruce asked.

"Something like that. He thinks those with powers or enhancements should be put into service with the US military. Talbot Ross and I opposed that proposal each time he brought it up explaining the flaws of doing so forcefully. You've already heard of the results no doubt from Superman on Volcana." Sean said.

"He explained enough to me on that subject." Bruce said.

"She works for Global Tech now after we found her little small island. Of course I didn't force her to leave I just gave her a better offer then those previous who used her in her life." Sean said.

"And that would be?" Bruce asked.

"You'll find out soon enough." Talbot said.

Later

"So how did everything go today?" Lois asked getting some drinks out.

"HardCastle barged into my office demanding the Ghost Rider takes away Superman's powers again. You can guess how that went." Sean said.

"I thought he was kicked out of the military after Superman was brainwashed?" Lois said.

"Thats just the cover story. He was drastically demoted from his rank after that. Ross and Talbot were the ones who suggested his demotion didn't need the US looking bad because of his screw up. Somehow he's gotten some of his former rank as general back. He's no threat though especially not to me or my sisters since after Batman's little stunt I've had them closely watched by my security." Sean said.

"Wait you said Talbot and Ross had him demoted what about you though?" Lois asked.

"I was busy with something else but I would have suggested the same thing." Sean said before his phone rang. "Yeah? Whoa slow down Talbot what happened?" Sean asked. "How the hell did that happen?" Sean asked making Lois concerned. "I'll be right there." Sean said hanging up. "Damnit." Sean said.

"What happened?" Lois asked concerned.

"Hardcastle went off the deep end and activated something in the labs." Sean said getting outside and got in his car.

Minutes later

"What hell?" Sean asked in confusion seeing some kind of human husk in the middle of the lab.

"Price to pay for helping an alien boy." Hardcastle said making Sean sigh before pulling out a pistol.

"Whoa lets not..." Was as far as Talbot got before.

BANG!

However Sean didn't pull the trigger instead it was Frank Castle.

"Not like he didn't deserve it." Frank said as Hardcastle had a bullet hole in his head.

"What the hell is this?" Sean asked.

"No idea but one of our new agents of SHIELD is inside that thing. Daisy Johnson if I recall." Talbot said. "Hardcastle was trying to steal a crystal or something in the labs when she caught him and tried to stop him only once he drooped it some kind of mist came out of the damn thing then this happened." Talbot said before it began to crack apart.

"Uh?" Sean said before Daisy came out fully breathing hard. Daisy had slightly tan skin black hair and blue eyes. (Her Earths mightiest heroes appearance)

"I'm not even going to ask." Talbot said as medical teams came in and got her out of the room for quarantine.

"Where this crystal Hardcastle tried to take?" Sean asked.

"This is whats left of it." Ross said handing it to him.

"I don't think she was just in the husk for no reason." Sean said.

Later

"Just as I thought this crystal is not from earth theres nothing in it that fits on the periodic table." Sean said massaging his temples.

"Whats in it?" Frank asked.

"Hell if I know I cant make head or tails of this thing. I'm sending it to Stark maybe he can get better results then we can." Sean said.

"I wouldn't bother to much with that." Batman said dropping down.

"How did you get in?" Talbot asked.

"Ive seen this crystal before once. Someone in the same position as your friend I found in the same kind of husk. He got out but started showing signs that something happened to him. Calls himself Gordon and as soon as he came out of that husk his eyes were covered by his own skin. I took a DNA sample back then. I think you should see this." Batman said handing him the Data and Sean plugged it in.

"The hell?" Sean said looking over the results.

"What is it?" Ross asked.

"There is no fucking way. His DNA has been altered somehow but for some reason it looks like it was supposed to be that way." Sean said.

"Like what a second version of Mutants Like Wolverine and Professor X's X men?" Talbot asked.

"No something different." Sean said.

"I think these people had their DNA like this from their ancestors and it passed down to them." Batman said.

"Like what a Bloodline?" Ross asked.

"Or something else." Sean said looking over the Data.
