A classic like the 1969 Charger was rare, and Robbie would normally soak in the attention, playing up for the crowd. His car was one of the crowning achievements and yet for once he wasn't focused on the people around him, his mind occupied with sheer anxiety. [color=00aeef][i]"Try breathing. Inhala. Exhala."[/i][/color] [color=f26522][i]"Ralph, I know how to breath. I like you Ralph but, I wish you weren't in my head all the time."[/i][/color] The Charger pulled into a parking lot connected to Brooklyn Bridge Park, its namesake sitting stunningly within the water, overlooking the park for all to stand at awe at. Robbie had never seen it before, a sight that drew his awe despite the reasoning for why he was here. He only wished he could be visiting under better terms, but for now he needed to focus on the situation at hand. Parking and stepping out of the Charger, he could hear Ralph rambling in his head, having to tone out the man to even hear his own thoughts. Every step into the park was heavy, the laughter of children playing, and adults talking echoed through his ears before his eyes finally connected with those of the man who brought him here....Eli Morrow. [color=00aeef][i]"ELI!"[/i][/color], Ralph screamed from inside Robbie's head, turning the boy's black, the temperature of his body beginning to rise, taking every bit of Robbie's control to keep Ralph from turning them into the Rider. [color=f26522][i]"Stop, Ralph. There are kids here."[/i][/color] [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/b/b6/Elias_Morrow_%28Earth-616%29_from_All-New_Ghost_Rider_Vol_1_12_001.png/revision/latest?cb=20151201075907]Eli's[/url] gave his nephew a grin that exuded malice, his own eyes giving way the same blackness that permeated Robbie's own eyes. "Oh little Roberto, its so nice that you came." [color=f26522]"Tío, why?"[/color] Robbie's voice broke as he asked, as he loved Eli as a kid, having a bond that seemed so easily broken by his uncle, but now he could see so malevolent behind those eyes, and feel what he felt in himself when he first became a Rider. "Roberto, I needed to see you. I heard so much about the rider in Los Angelos but, you know what really caught my eye? The charger. A one of a kind. Did you know that I'm the one who convinced your father to add those rims? Oh my brother was so stupid." [color=f26522]"What do you mean 'was'? What is going on?"[/color] "Oh my poor little Robbie, you missing your parents? My my where is Gabe? Are his legs still garbage?" Eli let out a maniacal laugh as he spoke about Gabe. Robbie's face would scrunch up into a scowl and his words would burst from his lips in rage, [color=f26522]"DON'T MENTION HIS NAME, BASTARD!"[/color] "Or what? You'll punish me for my sins?" [color=f26522]"How do you know abou--"[/color] "Because boy, I am like you. You can tell. And that's why I called you here. I wanted to see just how badly you wanted to see me. How badly you wanted the answers that you would travel all this way and leave your baby brother behind. See my little nephew, I'm going to do terrible things and I want you to know it was me. I want every waking moment to be agony for you because you'll know that you could've stopped me." Robbie and Ralph both were in awe of everything that Eli spoke upon, and yet they knew he was right. With Eli being a rider, if he was not lying, would mean a fight that would endanger everyone in the general area. Two riders locking in combat would spell doom for the general vicinity, and Robbie could not take that chance no matter how much Ralph wanted to tear Eli apart. Every muscle tense, blood vessels ready to burst, and steam pouring from the pores on his face. Screams erupted from the civilians within the park, pointing and gasping at the sight lurching from the East River, fire trolls ascending from the water. In a matter of moments fire were raging across the borough, the trolls attacking anything and everything in sight. "Well champ. Aren't you gonna help these people?" [color=00aeef][i]"Robbie, we punish Eli NOW!"[/i][/color] [color=f26522][i]"Please Ralph. We do this to protect people and right now people need our help. You're a hero, remember?"[/i][/color] Robbie gave a glance to Eli, his twisted smile making his stomach churn, but now was not the time. They'd find him again, his sin acting as a beacon, and crimes that will weight heavy on both souls of the rider. He hated it despite knowing that right now saving people from the fire trolls was the immediate danger and he needed Ralph to feel the same way. [color=00aeef][i]"Let's ride."[/i][/color] Robbie turned from Eli, dashing straight for the charger, his body beginning under go the process of becoming a rider. The skin on Robbie's face began to melt away, giving way to the skeleton underneath, flames bursting forth, and his mouth opened wide to let a demonic roar that filled the park. The moment he touched the charger, flames engulfed it from bumper to bumper, the wheels covered in flames and as he jumped into the rev the engine, flames erupted from the engine. He pulled from the lot, the engine screaming, racing through the street to the first fire troll he could see. The troll was attempting to burn a building filled with people, and Robbie acted quickly. The Hell Charger drifted around the debris, chains covered in hellfire shooting forth from the vehicle and wrapping around the troll's head. Revving the engine, he used the supernatural horsepower to give the needed force to pull the creature to ground, slamming its head and crackling the earth underneath. The hellfire continued to burn upon the troll, giving the beast a level of discomfort and pain but, it did not completely stop its rampage. The troll would now be facing punishment at hands of the Ghost Rider.
