Vengeance considers the arrangement in question. It will be irksome to have the human questioning his judgments at every turn and extracting the proper price from sinners nearly impossible...but the ability to manifest when necessary, rather than only at nightfall was a boon.
Still, letting the human's mind burn out would make his job much easier...until the other fools like the mystics in Chicago begin impeding him. He could simply destroy them all, but it would be costly and then more would come after him.
Eventually, the Rider would enter the fray and then one or both of them would go back to Hell and leave no one to protect this realm.
"And I will be freed when necessary to do my work? You will not seek to stop me, no matter /when/ this occurs? In return, you will see and know all that I do or plan to do and I will know the same of you.
And I will kill only those who /truly/ deserve it. We will be of one mind from this point forward.
What say you, human?"
Austin considers this. He's still got the option of fighting this whole thing from now on, but if he does, then there's no telling when Vengeance will get out or for how long. He might wake up somewhere to find out that he's done something he can't forgive himself for.
Or, he could still bind himself to one place and never leave. But again, if Vengeance ever got out, there was no telling how he might take revenge.
This was the least of three evils.
When we hunt, you let me lead off. If I can't get the job done, you're up. We kill only when necessary or this we're no better than what we're fightin'. We stay under the radar and you'll get to take down all the sinners you can handle.
"Then...we have an accord. I will give you access to my power when necessary, human. Do not waste my abilities on trifling matters.
I will abide by the set terms." Vengeance says.
