Hufflepuff in the Marvel Universe

When Gu Zhongyan secretly wondered whether Johnny Brace had forgotten him, little did he know that Johnny was also thinking about him in the same way.

Having been a stunt motorcycle rider all his life, Johnny has to say that this period was the most subversive period in his life.

Even when I first met Mephisto many years ago, it was not as exciting as this time.

After all, burning yourself into a skull with only a skeleton overnight is not an ordinary experience.

Not to mention the magical encounter of meeting a wizard later, who invited me to join the team and become a superhero.

After Gu Zhongyan left, Johnny also seriously thought about his future.

Indeed, after becoming the Ghost Rider, ordinary life has left him. If Mephisto makes a comeback, the best choice is to form an alliance with Gu Zhongyan.

From this point of view, Johnny already has plans to join Gu Zhongyan's team.

But the existence of one person prevented him from making this determination.

This person is naturally his ex-girlfriend Roxanne, a woman who couldn't even revive her own father under Ghost Rider, but she could.

As a famous stunt motorcycle rider, the reason why he is not stationed in Ohio, the headquarters of stunt motorcycles, like other motorcycle riders, is because the other motorcycle rider is in this city?

Even though he knew that he was no longer an ordinary person and was not suitable to be with the other person, he was still unwilling to leave just now. Deep down in his heart, he still held some unrealistic expectations.

Because of this melancholy, he has been unable to make a decision.

Unexpectedly, after Gu Zhongyan settled the matter with St. Fangansa, he was stumbling back in Los Angeles, and he didn't have time to take care of him for a while.

Now it was better. He thought about it and struggled with it. As a result, the real owner didn't come, and the confusion in his heart changed from whether to join to whether Gu Zhongyan had forgotten him and changed his mind.

Just when the two people's brain circuits were vaguely connected, Gu Zhongyan finally came to the door.

Looking at the Chinese teenager standing outside the door, Johnny couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "When are we going to New York?"

Hearing Johnny's almost eager tone, Gu Zhongyan was slightly startled and looked at him in surprise.

What happened? Why did Johnny seem more urgent than him?

However, Gu Zhongyan quickly came to his senses, shook his head and said: "No, in fact, I came here today because I hope you can stay in California."

"???"

Johnny looked at Gu Zhongyan in bewilderment. What's going on? Didn't he want to join the team and become a superhero in New York? Why did he change his mind in the blink of an eye and look down on himself?

In Johnny's confused eyes, Gu Zhongyan quickly explained:

"That's right, I came back a little late this time because I went to Los Angeles..."

Soon, Gu Zhongyan told him about the situation of the Children's League away from home, and also explained why he was late.

After hearing all this, Johnny, who was already confused, was even more dumbfounded.

Well, he had just accepted that there were demons and wizards in this world, but in the blink of an eye, aliens appeared, and the California under his feet almost sank because of the opponent's spaceship.

I don’t know if it was because he was too dumbfounded, but Johnny couldn’t help but wonder if California sank when he became the Ghost Rider, and whether the fire on his body would be extinguished by the sea water.

He didn't even just think about it, he asked the question.

Even Gu Zhongyan didn't expect Johnny's brain circuit to be so weird. He was dumbfounded for a moment before he came back to his senses and said faintly: "You think too much. What's burning in your body is the fire of hell. Even if it's...

You'd be fine if you pressed yourself into the Mariana Trench."

After speaking, Gu Zhongyan shook his head, put this strange conversation behind him, and said seriously.

"It's like this. After what happened, I felt that those children were all talented people, so I asked them to form the Young Defenders to serve as the backbone of our alliance."

"However, although these children are extremely talented, they are just children after all. I am far away in New York, and I am afraid that if anything happens, I will be beyond my reach."

"It just so happens that there is another you. Los Angeles and Sacramento are both in California. Since the Defenders have power in the east and west, there is no need for you to travel here and there."

"You stay in California. On the one hand, you don't have to leave your hometown. On the other hand, you can help me with the Young Defenders. What do you think?"

After hearing these words, Johnny's eyes looked a little resentful when he thought of his struggles during this period.

He glanced at Gu Chongyan faintly, "So, your alliance is still a children's nest, right?"

"Last time, I said that Su was just a special case. There was only such a child in the entire alliance. He asked me to join with confidence and boldness."

"Okay now, not only did six more people show up, but they also asked me to take responsibility. Just tell me straight away. From the beginning, you planned to let me help take care of the children, didn't you?"

Facing Johnny with a resentful look on his face, Gu Zhongyan laughed twice, feeling a little hot on his face, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he recruited him.

At that time, when Johnny said that they were organized by a youth team, he still explained blatantly that it was a bit of a slap in the face to let others take care of the children now.

Fortunately, Gu Zhongyan has lived through three lives, and if nothing else, he still has a decent face.

After a moment of embarrassment, he said: "Isn't it because the plan has failed to keep up with the changes? I didn't expect to encounter this situation at the beginning."

"Although the Young Defenders are children, the youngest one is fifteen years old. After two years of experience, they will be able to stand alone, so you don't need to worry too much."

Johnny sneered, obviously unmoved.

Seeing this, Gu Zhongyan hurriedly said: "Of course, I also know that I have wronged you by doing this, so I have already figured out a way to seal the spirit of revenge in you."

"After sealing the spirit of vengeance, you cannot become the Ghost Rider unless you actively fuse the spirit of vengeance yourself."

"In this way, you don't have to turn into a flaming skeleton every night. You can even marry a wife and have children like ordinary people. How about that?"

Johnny's expression changed and he looked at Gu Zhongyan seriously, "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's really true, more real than pearls." Gu Zhongyan nodded repeatedly.

After returning to his peak, the magic he can use has greatly increased. In his normal form, as long as he doesn't explode, his power can completely suppress the Ghost Rider.

As long as Johnny takes the initiative to cooperate, it is not difficult to seal the spirit of vengeance and make it come under Johnny's control.

Speaking of which, he learned this method from Tina's magic of destroying Yuanyi's staff and reshaping its shell.

The difference is that the Spirit of Vengeance replaced the Yuanyi Staff, and Johnny just acted as the outer shell.
