An alarm shrilled Loudly from its place upon a beaten up bedside table for a few moments before a slender hand reached from beneath plump covers to turn it off. Silence reigned for a few moments before there was a feminine yawn and a girl, in her very younger 20's, sat up and stretched. Her sleep filled aqua eyes roved her small room unseeingly for a moment before they fell upon the small Calender hanging on her wall.

Jumping from her bed with a squeal she rushed to change into her new uniform, fresh out of the package it had arrived in a few days prior. It wasn't much, plain black trousers, a little baggy, a white button up blouse and a cardigan, once again black. Carefully, she pulled on a pair of black gloves and tamed her wild black curls into the semblance of a bun at the nape of her neck.

When she was ready, she ate a quick breakfast, brushed her teeth, and slipped on her comfortable shoes before running out of her door and to the bus stop.

The ride was uneventful and with a quick, quiet thank you to the driver, she strolled down the street, following the directions she had received on a letter that had arrived with her uniform. Soon she reached a gate that towered above her, no easy feat since she was at an even six foot in height, and pressed the intercom button to the side.

When the talk button flashed green she steeled the nerves running rampant through her.

"Hello, my name is Delmare Keaton, it's my first day here."

She stood there for a few moments, shifting nervously, before there was a loud buzz and the gate opened slightly, the magnetic lock disengaging. Breathing a small breath of relief she pushed open the gate and entered the slate grey building.

A stiff looking man in a crisp suit was waiting for her inside and spoke in a clipped manner,

"Miss Keaton, my name is Agent Manning, follow me."

Raising an eyebrow at his abrupt tone, Delmare followed him silently listening to him attentively.

"You signed the non-disclosure form but I will overview it again. Anything you see in this facility will stay within this facility. If you do tell anyone then you will be imprisoned and the key thrown away."

They stopped in front of some ornate doors and before he could continue she asked,

"Sorry for interrupting, but why am I here? I received a job offer, who's pay check I couldn't refuse, but it has been extremely vague in the discription."

Agent Manning turned to face her and gave her a cursory overview,

"You are here Miss Keaton, because of your degrees in mechanics and aquatic engineering. There is some delicate equipment that needs fixing or updating whenever needed, and you are one of the best."

Pride blossomed in her chest as her face reddened a little. Agent Manning gave her a cursory glance before continuing where he left off.

"What you will see through these doors may shock you, please don't scream."

Delmare's nerves shot through her and her heart began to race as Agent Manning pushed open the doors. Inside was not what she expected. Her heart began to calm as she cast intrigued eyes around the lavishly decorated library. The only reason she could see that she was there was the enormous tank that took up the right side wall. Slowly she left the Agent by the door and moved over to it, taking in that it was much larger inside. Her hands twitched gently before she asked,

"Is this why I am here?"

She gasped and spun as a new voice answered her,

"Not quite."

An.

Please be kind, I haven't done any FanFiction writing in a long time and normally they are Harry Potter ones. This came to me after watching shape of water and binge watching hellboy/2. After searching for some Abe/Oc and coming up rather short, I thought I would try my own hand at it!
