Chapter 90: Black Widow

The next morning.

During breakfast, Pietro felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Wanda buried her head in her milk while Jack was focused on his bacon. It seemed normal, but he noticed the lingering blush on his sister's face, and even her ears were red.

He knew Wanda well enough to know that this was a sign that she was very shy, but he didn't know what had happened to make her this way.

From the way Jack was eating, it looked like he was enjoying his breakfast, but the bacon on his plate was all into pieces, and he hadn't eaten a single bite.

Jack glanced at Wanda, who was still looking down like an ostrich, feeling embarrassed.

'Why did he have to do something so stupid as to sneak into her room late at night to give her a gift? Now Wanda had found out, and probably thought he was up to something strange.'

'After Wanda discovered that he was the One who had secretly entered her room, she closed her eyes again. At that moment, Wanda's face turned red, her lips trembled slightly, and small drips of sweat appeared on her tiny nose and forehead.'

Even the tightly wrapped blanket was kicked to the side, revealing a seductive body that made Jack, even as an expert, understand what it meant.

'Although he was looking forward to it, now wasn't the time.'

So he ran out of the bedroom in a hurry, almost tripping over himself on the stairs.

Wanda was in a similar, unable to even look up at him. She hurriedly finished her breakfast, put on her coat, and went to school. Pietro had never seen his sister move so quickly before.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, Jack breathed a sigh of relief. At least it wasn't as awkward now.

"Ding Dong~ Ding Dong~"

The doorbell suddenly rang, and Jack looked at the time. 'It was only just after 8 in the morning. Who would be visiting him at this time?'

Walking to the door and opening it, the person standing outside was none other than the Ghost Rider from last night, or rather, Johnny Blaze.

"Good morning, sir, I..." Johnny twitched, rubbing his hands nervously and looking at Jack with nervousness. "I'm... the person from last night, you..."

"I know who you are. Come in and let's talk," Jack raised an eyebrow and turned back inside.

The fact that the other person came to find him was a bit unexpected for Jack, but more importantly, he wondered how Johnny found this place.

Seeming to know the question on Jack's mind, Johnny explained as he walked in and closed the door, "Forgive me for the unexpected visit, someone gave me this address and told me that only you can help me."

"Help you?" Jack walked to the counter and poured two glasses of whisky, gesturing for Johnny to sit down.

"Tell me about it, what do you want me to help you with?"

"I... I want to get rid of this power!" Johnny didn't touch his glass of whisky, glancing around to make sure no one else was around before speaking calmly. "This power from hell has killed many people, and I don't want to be a killing machine anymore."

"First, let me confirm, who sent you to find me?" Jack asked

"Well... a bald lady, looked like a nun." Johnny answered.

Jack nodded and didn't think about this question for too long before going on "Sorry, but I can't help, You made a deal, so unless you die, the job of killing people who do bad things will go on."

"How can this be?!"

After hearing this, Johnny's face turned pale, and he sat down on the couch in despair.

"In fact, I think you don't have to be like this."

Jack felt slightly sorry and comforted him, "This kind of power can be controlled. You can learn to control the transformation. As for how to do it, you have to figure it out yourself."

"You don't understand. This power will turn me into a monster!"

Johnny shook his head, looking defeated. "I just want to go back to a normal life, but being haunted by this power, I can't live like a normal person."

Jack nodded, understanding his feelings, watching him, but he really couldn't help.

The Ghost Rider, in other words, is Johnny Blaze. It's just that Johnny rejects this power, so the Ghost Rider acts entirely on instinct, punishing criminals every night when he transforms.

However, if Johnny could try to accept this power, try to accept becoming the Ghost Rider, he could slowly control the transformation rhythm, just like the previous generation, Carter Slade.

He escaped from Mephisto's control and had not transformed in decades because he had control over this power.

Carter Slade?

Jack was stunned, he suddenly thought of something.

In the movie, after the last transformation, Carter Slade said that his energy had been drained and he could no longer transform into the Ghost Rider.

The soul of the Ghost Rider may be rooted in Johnny's soul, and he has no way out. But transforming into the Ghost Rider requires energy, and as long as it's energy, he can absorb it.

Jack's eyes lit up, and he seemed to know why the Ancient One had asked him to come to find him.

Jack looked at Johnny and asked, "Can you transform now?"

"What?" Johnny was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the sky and said, "Not during the day, but I can at night."

"Okay, then come tonight!"

Jack patted Johnny's shoulder and said, "Whether we can help you break free from this fate depends on tonight."

"Really!?"

Hearing that Jack had a solution, Johnny regained hope.

He stood up excitedly, repeatedly thanking Jack, "Thank you, thank you so much!"

"Don't thank me yet. Let's try it tonight and see if it works," Jack said. He was also unsure, but if he was correct, he should be able to absorb some of Johnny's transformation energy. Then, naturally, he wouldn't be able to transform, just like Carter Slade.

With his mind made up, they agreed to meet in San Venganza at night, and Johnny left with excitement and expectation.

Jack estimated that Johnny would go straight to San Venganza and wait there. God knows how much he wanted to break free from this situation.

.....

One day passed quickly.

Jack prepared dinner as usual while Chloe picked up Wanda and Pietro after school. After what happened last night, He decided to compensate Wanda with something different.

Suddenly, a car's sound was heard from outside, causing Jack to hurry his pace. He lifted the teapot and placed it on the table.

Shortly after, the door opened, and Chloe, Pietro and Wanda walked in, along with another person.

"Hey, Jack, let me introduce you. This is our teacher. She's here for a home visit."

Pietro eagerly introduced the visitor and led her to sit on the sofa.

As Jack walked out of the kitchen, he twitched his eyebrows when he saw the visitor. The visitor noticed him and quickly stood up, extending a small, fair hand.

"Hello, Mr. Wayne. I'm Natalie Rushman, Pietre, and Wanda's teacher. I'm here for a home visit today. I apologize for the visit and hope you don't mind."
