“Yea I do have a soul. A fun loving one at that. But it’s useless warning me Rider. You move far too slow to hit me,”[/b][/I] he said flashing a wink at her as she looked around.
It didn’t take long for her to run off after one of the groups and wasn’t surprised when she chased down the largest group. Following after, he stayed behind a little just to watch her in action, and to check out her tactics. Hovering above the alleyway he watched the fear course through the body of each of the criminals. Their hearts were beating so hard that they sounded like drums thanks to his super-hearing.
“Looks like she would give the Bat a run for his money,”[/b][/I] he said to himself from high above.
Looking around he spotted another group of criminals who seemed to be regrouping in a building several blocks away. From what he could see it looked like they were pulling out some RPG-7s, Uzis, and a small collection of small arms.
“Hey Ghostrider. I’ll be a couple buildings over. Looks like there is a party going on and I want to get my grove on,”[/b][/I] he said before he sped off towards the building. Crashing through the brick wall between him and the criminals, he looked over the surprised criminals, and smiled brightly. “Hiya fellas. I hope you have permits for those otherwise you’re all in lots of trouble.”[/b][/i]

"No one can outrun Vengeance...especially in that outfit."
She said nodding her head. But soon she was simply too busy trying to get information on The Snake, a wanted arms dealer. If she couldn't find him she'd find his lieutenant.
"If no one knows then you're all useless to me..."
She said before pointing her rifle at the cowering group. They were still trapped between the Rider and a wall of fire. The fire began to move closer to them now before one man jumped forward, kneeling before her and hysterical.
"The Snake's not here. He's...he's we don't know. We just receive his messages. Word has it he's in another country."
She jumped down and approached the man, picking him up and staring at him.
"Look into my eyes!"
The man tried to look away but couldn't. The rest were now debating between dealing with the Rider or trying to jump through Hellfire.
"If I find out you lied to me I will find you and you will be sorry."
She threw him down and the wall of flames vanished. She then turned to where Superboy had gone and climbed back onto Shadow, heading in that direction.

They were scared. And that meant they were desperate. Desperate enough that one of the men pointed the RPG-7 at him and fired the missile at near point blank range as the rest of the criminals in the room yelled for him to stop. Normally if he was going to be hit with a missile he would just take the hit or side step it, he didn’t have this luxury this time around. This time around he would have to stop it with his bare hands to prevent it from exploding.
So that’s what he did. Reaching out, Superboy grabbed the oncoming missile, and held it in it’s place as he shook his head. Taking a deep breath, Superboy used his arctic breath to turn the volatile weapon into a block of ice. Dropping the missile to the floor, he looked at the thugs with a raised brow as they looked at him with gaping mouths. He could see amazement, fear, and panic in their eyes which wasn’t really surprising.
“Come on guys. Everyone knows you save the fireworks for the end of the party. We’ve only just started the party.”[/b][/I]
Wonder how Ghostrider’s party is going? Hopefully she isn’t having too much fun. That girl has some issues, not as bad as the Bat, but pretty damn close.[/i]

She heard the launch of an RPG and knew instantly that's where he was. Then again it wasn't difficult to figure out where he was, especially if he was going after someone. She stopped at the building she could figure he was in. Between the hole in the wall and the red cape blowing out it wasn't difficult.
"Yah!"
And with that call Shadow began to climb the side of the building towards the hole. She then stepped in the hole and stood beside him. Now the fear was more than evident. Between Superboy and Ghost RIder the people knew they were screwed. She glanced over at Superboy and tipped her hat.
"Don't let me stop you."

When Ghostrider showed up at his side in the room, he looked over at her with a grin when her presence made one of the men lose his bladder control. He couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous that she had gotten that reaction when he was just the one who had stopped a missile that travels at one hundred and fifteen meters a second with his bare hands like it was nothing and then turned the thing into a block of ice.
Maybe I’d be more menacing if I had a flaming skull too. Probably not a good idea, would probably clash with the suit.[/I]
“Alright boys and girls. Any more bright ideas you wanna share with the group today or have we agreed that shooting missiles, throwing grenades, and shooting at the super-powered heroes isn’t going to work for you today? Or ever for that matter.”[/b][/I]
Crossing his arms over his chest, the group of thugs all dropped their weapons, and got to their hands and knees. In the distance, he could hear the sounds of sirens approaching their direction. If there was one thing he had to give the Metropolis Police Department credit for it was that they were fast.
“Got any questions for these guys before the police show up or did you get all the answers you wanted from the last group?”[/b][/I] He asked as he turned to Ghostrider with a smile.

She watched as he managed to get them all to surrender. He didn't know exactly what she'd missed but assumed it was something impressive. She glanced over and noticed an odd look on his face. Was that jealousy? Someone was actually jealous of her? That was definitely a first, as far as she knew. She was the bearer of a nasty curse right now, something that would definitely be passed to her children, no matter how much she didn't want that.
"I do have some questions...."
She jumped from the horse and flames encircled her, SUperboy and the men. However it was soul fire so the wooden floor it rested on was not burned.
"I want information on the Snake. I will use my penance stare on anyone I feel is lying."
She stopped in front of one of the bigger men and looked down at him.
"The Snake?"
"Not his real name. He's in New York and owns a couple businesses, not sure which ones. But he has government contracts. He works in Gotham too, he hired us to work Metropolis. Pandora's on his pay roll too. That's all I know, I swear."
"Good."
She said as the flames disappeared. She climbed onto Shadow and tipped her hat before running out of the hole, down the wall and back onto the street before running down the street again, assuming Superboy would follow.

When it seemed that Ghostrider got the information she had wanted, she hoped up on her horse, and rode out. Of course Dan followed after. The night was young and he really didn’t have anything better to do. And hanging around with Ghostrider just got more and more interesting, even if he did find her rather over confident in her abilities.
“So what’s next Rider? You heading off to the Big Apple to look for this Snake guy that you’re looking for?”[/b][/I] He asked with a raised brow. “Who is this guy anyway? Some big mob boss you’ve been working on tracking down?”[/b][/i]
Truth be told, Dan-El didn't really know all that much about the criminal element of this time. Some names he recognized from the history books, but others were too obscure for him to remember or care about. In all honesty, Dan-El had bigger problems to worry about, like trying to find out where his cousin Conner had up and disappeared to.

"Not enough information."
She said simply, responding to his question about where she was going next. Besides, by time she got there he would've received word that Metropolis was a bust. So she'd have to try a different route. The thug hadn't said much to narrow it down so she had no idea where to start. But the mention of Pandora did mean something. She stopped and turned to look at him, knowing, or assuming she'd stop too.
"No, he goes higher than the mob. He's trying to take over turf, but not in the usual sense. He has an army and now that Pandora has joined her this makes things more interesting. I have a score to settle with that bitch."

When Ghostrider starting going off about a score to settle with Pandora, Dan’s brain started working. He had heard the name before, but he was having a hard time placing it. It wasn’t until he contemplated contacting Thomas for info that he finally realized where he had heard the name.
“Pandora as in the Joker’s daughter? One of Batman’s usual foes? That Pandora?”[/b][/I] He asked as he looked over to her. “I hope you’re not planning on going to Gotham unannounced to track her down. You know that’s going to only end up bad. The Bat is extremely territorial GR.”[/b][/I]
Oh man I hope we are going to New York and not Gotham. Thomas is too damn territorial and I really don’t wanna deal with trying to break up a fight between him and Ghostrider.[/i]

"Alleged daughter."
Ghostrider corrected. Everyone knew Pandora claimed that title however no one actually knew if she was aside from her and the Joker. And with the Joker dead, dying an unlikely hero, only she knew. And she would always claim to be his daughter.
"I need to gather more information first. New York is too big for a hunch as is Gotham. I may need to contact the Avengers and Nightwing to see if he's heard anything."
Sure she could talk to Batman but the two of them rarely spoke. Primarily because they seemed to be having an unknown contest on who can be the most intimidating. Sure the old Batman would win but this new one...that was a tough one.
"I'm hungry. Can you change and we can get something to eat?"

“Well if you want, I could zip over and talk to the Bat,”[/b][/I] he offered. “He and I have an understanding and I’m sure he wouldn’t mind knowing about some of this stuff regarding Pandora.”[/b][/I]
A large part of them having an understanding was mainly due to the fact that their parents had been best of friends and they each knew each other’s identity. Granted he had known Thomas’ well before he had met him, but it had helped them break the ice at least.
“Food huh?”[/b][/I] He asked with a grin. “Any place you thinking? I know a couple sweet spots we can check out. There is a new restaurant that opened up in downtown Tokyo that has some good grub. Or were you in the mood for something else?”[/b][/i]
He was certainly thankful that they weren't going to be trying to track down anyone as he wasn't too fond on wanting to venture to Gotham without letting Thomas know first. One of the things the two had agreed on was that neither would work in the other's city without consulting the other first.

"No, I'll talk to him myself. We may not have as good of an understanding but we have some semblance of respect for each other."
She said simply before jumping off her horse. She listened as he named off some place in Tokyo. She would've risen an eyebrow if she had one but of course, she was just a skeleton so that wouldn't work.
"I was thinking somewhere more local. I know a couple places. Although this is your city so I'm sure you could think of something. Go change and meet me on the corner in a few minutes."
She knew it wouldn't take long for him to change. He had super speed and all that stuff. Same as he could get back there pretty quickly. She waited for him to take off (Sorry to god just trying to speed it up) before riding into an alley and jumping off. She transformed back and Shadow ran into a shadow, disappearing. She made her way towards the corner, now playing a flute she happened to have on her. She was wearing a T-shirt and jeans with cowboy boots, a long duster and a cowboy hat, not hard to pick out in a crowd, even for him.

“Right. And by respect you mean he didn’t completely disregard your existence?”[/b][/i] he stated with a chuckle.
When she mentioned something more local a couple spots had come to his mind, but before he could mention them she had already disappeared. Luckily Danny was able to travel faster than the speed of light so by the time she had changed into her outfit he was already standing on the corner waiting for her in a pair of faded blue jeans and a black and blue plaid button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows.
“Don’t you own a normal wardrobe?”[/b] he asked with a raised brow. “You look like you’re on your way to a country party.”[/b]

She stuck her tongue out at him as he insulted her clothes.
"I told you I grew up in the south. This is normal for me. Or am I supposed to be all slutted up like most of the other girls around here?"
She asked with a raised eyebrow as she put her hands on her hips. She usually caught flack for her clothes but didn't care. She dressed how she was comfortable and was a huge tom boy. She tilted her hat back and looked at him.
"Look at you. Dressed like everyone else."

“No, I’m not saying that at all GR,”[/b] he replied. “All I’m saying is that you could have picked something that wouldn’t make you stand out so much. All it takes is one smart criminal or one having a very lucky day to put two and two together that the Southern Belle dressed in a duster and cowboy is the Ghost Rider. The whole point of having a secret identity is to make sure our enemies don’t realize who we are so they can’t hurt our friends and loved ones.”[/b]
Then she started to comment on his clothes. Standing back, he looked at his outfit, and raised a brow at her. Like her, Dan-El dressed comfortably and dressed like how he normally dressed. Even in his time frame there was nothing better to wear on the farm than a pair of jeans. He really didn’t see an issue with his outfit. He was still him while blending in with the crowd, just as he was suppose to.
“What’s wrong with that? At least I’m not going to stand out, which is kind of the point,”[/b] he retorted, sticking out his tongue at her.
