Road Of The Ghost Rider

Johnny's life has been complicated ever since he lost his family. It was hard for him to keep moving forward, especially when high school started. While everyone else was making friends and hanging out, Johnny had to focus on school but always got into trouble being in fights, He was working in a mechanic shop to earn money for himself after he turned 18, as the foster care system couldn't support him. Despite the challenges over the last four years, he managed to work hard and graduate. With the money he saved, he was able to afford an apartment after graduation. For the past year, he has been working and sleeping every day, with rare days off when he indulges in watching movies, particularly those in the MCU.

In the darkroom, we see Johnny lying down on his bed watching Marvel. As he relaxes, he starts thinking about how it would feel to live in movies and do incredible stuff. If he ever wanted to be in the MCU, he would love to have powers like being a mutant because there's always a secret about being a mutant, and then he had an idea in his mind.

"How would it feel if you were a mutant Ghost Rider? Now that's awesome," Johnny thought with a smirk on his face. But as he turned on his phone to check the time, he noticed it was getting late. When he was about to turn off his phone, he looked at the screen and saw a photo of himself with his smiling parents. He sighed and said, "Miss you guys and sorry you have to see me looking like this instead of enjoying my life, but don't worry, I'm okay."

He turned everything off and just stared at the ceiling, wishing his life would change for the better and that he could do something more exciting. However, he got cut off when sleepiness took over him.

-----------------------------------------------------------

When the sun hit his face, he started blinking as he sat up. His eyes adjusted and he noticed he was not in his room. He started to freak out as he looked around and noticed he was in a small room. He got out of bed, looked around, and noticed that this room looked like a hotel room.

He went to the restroom to wash his face. As he washed his face, he turned on the light and took a step back, taking in what he was seeing.

What he's seeing right now is not him and he noticed that he looks like a young Jensen Ackles. And what was worse is that he looked no older than 15. He started to freak out even more now but got interrupted when he heard the door knocking.

He went to the door but when he was about to reach the door nob. He took a breath and started thinking, "Okay, calm down, this is just a dream, nothing more".

When he opens the door he is met with a kind lady no older than 40 years old. Who was looking at him in concern?

"Are you okay, Cain? You woke up a little late," she said with concern, noticing that he wasn't acting like his usual self.

Johnny didn't know who this Cain was but put a smile on his face and said, "Sorry about that. I guess I was too tired". She nods at that, knowing teenagers always like to wake up late.

She just shook her head and chuckled. "Well, get ready, mister, because you got to find a job to do because remember you said you don't want to go to school, so better find a job or else back to school," looking strictly at him of the promise they made. The only response she got was a nod, so she smiled and started to leave.

As he watches her leaving out of his sight, he closes the door leans his forehead on it, and starts thinking of what the hell is going on.

He doesn't know where his at and whose body he is now. So he went to check if he could find where he was and what was going on until he spotted a wallet on the table along with the phone as he checked it he saw a driver's license with the person's face as his and noticed his full name was Cain Blaze and where and it looks like he lives in Texas but as he heard of the last name blaze he noticed it sounded familiar but form somewhere.

As he was done checking out the driver's license, he looked at the phone sighed with relief, and noticed it didn't have a lock screen. He checked Google for news and articles, and what he saw shocked him even more than who he is right now.

That was seeing Tony Stark with articles about his achievements when he was young and until now, but he noticed he hasn't been Iron Man yet, so he kept looking to see what else he could check, like about Captain America in World War and rumors about mutants.

Until he finally knows where his at and that he is in the MCU universe. He looked around and chuckled about where he was now until he had the most massive headache that felt like he got hit by a train. He screamed as he grabbed his head, lending him down to his knees and seeing memories of Cain Blaze's life, knowing he had been an orphan since he was born, got dropped off by an orphan care lady he spoke to at the door who's named Rebecca who has been taking care of him and other kids. His life flashed before him until what shocked him more was when he hit puberty, his mutation activated, allowing him to control and become fire, but he hid it. He does it because he knows how the people react to seeing him as one of the mutants.

As the flashback stops, Johnny, who is now Cain, takes a deep breath and, shakenly, starts to stand upright. He smiled, knowing he had a new life but, better yet, a second chance.

But what was more exciting about that? He is a mutant who controls and ignites himself in fire. Knowing there are going to be challenges for him to become stronger.

He reached his hands out, trying to see if mutant powers would work or not. As he was concentrating, he felt a little feeling in his heart pumping and seeing fire slowly coming out of his hands. That he was in shock and awe of what he was seeing right now was something beautiful.

He watches when the fire goes out of his hand and notices his power is a little too weak but he's not letting this down. He can work hard, and he is in the MCU, not in the comic book, which is a good thing because he likes all the heroes in the MCU other than the Marvel comic book because it is some messed up shit.

So he started thinking of what he needed to do and, better yet, make his life more fun and exciting, but he needed to find a job again for money because everything is always money, so don't forget that.

----------------------------------------------------------

Cain has been walking to see if anyone is hiring, but he's mostly trying to find a mechanic shop if they're hiring because he's mostly great at making and repairing cars and made good money out of it, but they were not hiring anybody. But his only hope was one of the bosses who told him there was another mechanic shop, but it was right next to the graveyard that was looking to hire people.

As he walked inside the shop, he noticed there were a lot of cars along with motorcycles here that you see every day when people need something to repair, but what caught his attention was there were classic cars here. There was a 1969 Camaro Z28, 1957 Chevy Coupe, 1967 Pontiac GTO, 1969 Chevrolet Blazer, etc.

He was amazed at how this classic still looks nice and repaired. He looked around and noticed nobody was around "Hello, anybody in here."

He walked and said, "Hey, uh, I'm looking to see if you're hiring someone," and the response he got was complete silence. He checked around and saw nobody was here at all.

He looked around, scratched his head, and said to himself, "Where the hell is everyone?". Looking and saw nobody was here at all but he caught something in his right eye. He looked out the window and saw what it looked like an old man in the distance in the graveyard who looked like he was covering something.

----------------------------------------------------------

As he walked towards the man he saw the whole graveyard full of life as the graveyard was taken care of along with the tombstone. He was surprised this place was taken care of at all. When he was close to the man he noticed this man was covered in what looked like the size of a casket.

When he was a few feet from him, he asked, "Excuse me, do you know the guy who owns the mechanic shop? I am looking to see if he is still hiring." Point his thumb back toward the shop.

The man stops what he's doing and shoves his shovel to the ground. The man then reached for his cowboy hat on the tombstone, put it on, and said, "Well, kid, that'll be me you're looking for." he turned around to show his face. Cain was surprised at who was meeting.

"Howdy kid named Carter Slade, and you must be the kid who's looking for a job when one of my friends told me about you," he said as he tipped his hat at him.

Cain shook out his stupidity as he reached for a handshake. "H-Hi, my name is Cain Blaze, and I'm looking to see if you're hiring, sir."

Carter smiled and reached for the handshake. As they shook hands, they felt their hands heating up like it was about to erupt into flames in about a few seconds. They let go of each other and put a fake smile on their face not knowing they both were about to expose themselves.

"So you're looking for a job, huh, kid," Carter said as he walked past Cain, heading towards the shop.

Cain followed right behind him "Yes, sir, I was hoping you would like to hire me, to work for you sir". Carter nodded his head about hearing what the kid was here for.

Carter walked to a red maroon Harley-Davidson and looked at Cain "Okay then why don't you tell me what kind of engine this Harley-Davidson has huh kid because kids nowadays like cars and motorcycles but don't know how it works"

Cain smirks at that because that is true. There aren't enough people who don't know what kind of engine they have or what's the problem with it, so he says, " That right there is a Harley engine is a two-cylinder piston engine. Both pistons are connected to a single crankshaft through their connecting rods. With the design in a V configuration, the pistons cannot fire at even intervals".

Carter smirked at that and pointed it at an orange 1967 Pontiac GTO with the hood up. "And that one". Cain looked at that and smirked because his giving him a hard one because this generation doesn't know that much about a classic car but only a little bit and said "That one right there is a 1967 Pontiac GTO that came standard with a 400 cubic inch (6.6 L) V8 engine with an 8.2:1 compression ratio and a single four-barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor. It produced 360 horsepower at 5,100 rpm and 438 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm right there."

Cater was impressed by what he heard from the kid. And he is more impressed with how the kid knows his cars.

Carter chuckled and looked at him "Well color me impressed you know your ride". Cain shrugged at that but kept on listening to what Carter was about to say next.

"You hired kid. I'll see you tomorrow," he said as he patted the kid's shoulder. Cain smiled at that of what he was hearing, but he had something on his mind.

"Mr.Slade," he said as he watched Carter start fixing a family car. When he heard him respond to him he said "Where are the other workers"

But what he heard surprised him was that Carter said, "There ain't nobody works here, just me, kid".

He didn't know what to say, but he said his farewell to him and started walking out of the shop and said, see you on Monday.

As Carter heard his footsteps walking away, he made sure he heard him leaving. He looked at the window and said, "So this is the new Ghost Rider, ain't it, pal."

What he is seeing right now is a fire skull that wasn't looking right at him because he was looking at the new host that was walking in the road.

The only response the old man got was a nod from him. He signed and continued work on the car and said, "Well, this is going to be one hell of a ride."
