I do not own Hellboy or any of the characters from; also the main OC is a "gift" from a dear friend of mine that will soon be going over to serve in the war, he informs me that I must do his character justice or he will jump in front of a moving bullet! PLEASE LET ME DO HER JUSTICE!!
In the weeks after Hellboy had stopped the golden army you would think that some form of joy would come to the three "Freaks" that had just quit working for those who didn't respect them. Unfortunately several problems arose, Most of human kind feared Hellboy thus he couldn't get a job to pay for the large amount of food he consumed, his best friend Abe had slipped in to a slight depression after the only girl he ever loved had sacrificed her self to save the world, and Liz was pregnant with two quarter demons.
So with great reluctance they returned to the Bureau. But thanks to Johann Krauss Manning stayed off their backs, until…
Manning had called them all into one of the meeting rooms where he sat with a rather worn looking file sitting in front of him. Once they were all seated he pulled an envelope out of his pocket handing it to Hellboy.
"From Meyers." Was all he said before starting to shuffle thru the file.
Liz peaked over his shoulder as he opened it to reveal a picture of John, bundled up in a parka and goggles to the point you wouldn't know it was him if not for the name tag on the coat. John was standing in the middle of a snow storm flicking off the camera with one hand and holding a sign in the other that read, "Tell Liz and Abe I said hi!"
Hellboy snickered and handed it to Abe who shook his head and gave a sad smile at the picture of their old friend.
"See he does like the cold!" snickered Hellboy who was swatted over the head by Liz.
Manning rolled his eyes and cleared his throat, "Ok, I have a request for the two of you."
He paused as he motioned to Hellboy and Abe while pulling several pictures from the file, "I need you to make yourselves invisible for the next week, maybe two," at this Hellboy clenched his stone hand and Manning backed up slightly, "Now Red let me finish, We have a new person, from the outside coming down, she's been on the streets for the past 15 years and we think she could be an asset to the bureau, so we don't want her freaking out and running off. We want to ease her in to normal life before we,"
At this point he is interrupted by Liz, "Well if she's going to be working with them and living down here you'll have to introduce them eventual."
Before Manning can answer her Hellboy buts in, "Who is she anyway? And why she so important? And why would she freak out? If she's one of those ones that hates us so much than a few weeks an't gonna help!"
Manning huffs and glares at Hellboy, "First of all she's important because she has powers, but we're not sure what they are. The reason she would be upset is because she recently had a bad encounter with a certain Prince and she decide to finally call me and…"
He is again interrupted by Hellboy, "Wait, final decide to call you? How do you know her?"
Manning is a bit flustered and acts like he's trying to come up with a good excuse when Abe pipes up for the first time, "She's his Daughter."
Manning glared at Abe as Hellboy stares at him in confusion, "Her name is Abigail, Abigail Nora Manning, she…"
Hellboy gets up shaking his head, "Hold on a minute. If she's your daughter then why was she living on the streets?"
At this Manning clams up and gives Abe a glare that clearly says don't even think about it.
Abe calmly stares back, and after a few moments Manning throws the file and pictures on the table and turns away, "Go ahead and tell them, I don't give a damn."
Hellboy and Liz turn to Abe who in turn watches Manning for a moment before turning to his friends, "All I will say is that certain events lead Mrs. Manning to leave taking a young Abigail with her, several years later she was killed in a Car crash. Abigail was 13 at the time, when she came out of school to find her father there and not her mother she ran off. She out ran Manning and the agents that were with him and after that started cutting all ties to her old life. She even started going by her mother's maiden name Marsel. No matter what Manning said she refused to come into his care, choosing rather to fend for herself."
Hellboy blinked a few times before looking at Manning and proceeding to laugh, "Wow, you really are screwed up if your own kid would rather live on the streets than be with you!"
At this Liz smacked him and his to shut up, she may not like Manning all that mush but even she could tell this all upset him.
Liz walked around the table and put her hand on Manning shoulder, "I can't guarantee anything with him but I'll try to keep Hellboy out of sight as long as I can, but only until she settles in."
Manning nods and Liz assumes that the closest to a thanks she'll get so she turns to the file and picks up the pictures.
The first is beautiful women with brown-blond hair matted to her head, sitting in a hospital bed holding a small bundle that appears to be a baby.
The second is The same woman helping a tiny girl stay up and try to walk towards the camera.
The next, the little girl is about 2, her hair just like her mothers pulled back in a little braid, is standing on a chair leaning towards a fish bowl with one hand holding herself up on the table and the other held toward the bowl, but the unusual thing is the water is rising in a spiral up from the bowl.
The next picture is of a 13 year old girl with the same hair pulled up in a high ponytail, with her winter jacket pulled tight around her standing in front of a school and craning her neck like she's looking for something.
Liz flips thru several pictures that look as if taken by a investigator because they are all either to far away or she is facing the other direction.
Liz notices that a couple seem to be surveillance cameras and the girl is running away from the camera.
When Liz reaches the last couple in the pile she is slightly shocked by one that shows a young woman in baggy ratty clothes that is glaring straight at the camera, thu that isn't what startles her, what startles Liz I the fact that the picture appears to be taken while it was raining but the rain looks to be stopping with in inches of the woman and rolling away from her.
Just as Liz goes to hand the pictures to Abe the phone rings, Manning reaches over and answers it, after a few seconds he gets flustered and starts yelling "Stall her!"
He hangs up the phone while jumping up and starts ushering the three out, "She's her hide! Quickly!"
Hellboy starts to protest but Liz shushes him and pulls him towards his room. Abe retreats to the library but before he can close the door completely he hears the lift and turns to peak through.
He watches as the lift descends, and just as the rider comes into few an agent steps up to the door and raises an eyebrow at him, before Abe can say anything the agent puts a finger to his lips to signal Abe to be quiet and steps in front of the crack, blocking Abe from being seen but still allowing him to see the newcomer.
As the lift reaches the bottom she is everything Abe expected, from the worn down work boots to the ratty wool cap pulled down over her long matted hair. But Abe senses that the is more to her than meets the eye, as he reaches out with his mind to see what he can find out her head snaps around so she's looking right at the agent blocking him from few and his mental exploration comes to a halt just short of its target.
Abe watches as the girl is distracted by Manning and lead off in another direction after a short confrontation which leaves one of the newest agent in a state of fear and Abe to ponder this person who can bloke him from their mind.
Abigail sat in the passenger seat of an old beat up pickup truck, with a bucket of mud between her feet that she was currently working into the oldest rattiest pair of jeans she owned.
The drive was her best friend of nearly 10 years Vanessa. Between the two women Vanessa's 6year old daughter, Sophie, was curled up asleep.
Vanessa looked over and shook her head, "Why do you do that Abby. Way go thru all the trouble to make that old fraud think that your so down on your luck when your doing so well on the streets. Despite having no parents, no permanent address, or job? And why are you doing this again?"
Abby looked up and smirked before taking a large glob of mud and ribbing it in to her long Brown Blond hair making it cake together, "Because I want dear old dad to feel like a self center no good piece of shit before I find out who or what that thing was that destroyed the first apartment I tried to own!"
Vanessa rolled her eyes and glanced at Sophie, who shifted in her sleep, before returning her eyes to the road, "You know Abby, from what I heard this bureau your dad works for is where Hellboy is hidden, and there is some sort of physic weirdo down there too."
Abby slowly turns her head and glares at Vanessa who slide closer to her door, "Ok ok! I'll stop talking about physics like that." As Abby returns to her task Vanessa mumbles under her breath, "Weirdo!"
Abby throws a handful of mud at her causing her to shriek which wakes up Sophie.
Sophie sits up rubbing her eye and looks around, "We there?"
Abby wipes the mud off one hand as best she can and reaches up and starts petting the to triangular ears sticking out of the top of the girls head, "Not yet sweaty go back to sleep."
Sophie cranes her head into Abby's hand and Abby chuckles as she notices the large cat tail poking out of the bottom of the girls dress start to twitch back and forth.
Just as Sophie goes to say something the truck stops and Vanessa announces, "We're here."
Abby looks up and sighs, turning back to Sophie, "Ok my little cat demon, are you going to be good for your mommy while I'm gone?"
Sophie tilts her head to the side and gives a look as if she was thinking about it but can't keep the straight face and starts giggling.
Abby laughs and kisses the top of her head, gives a quick smile to Vanessa and climbs out of the truck right before closing the door she says, "Wish me luck!" With that she heads off towards the gate where an agent is waiting for her.
He leads her in to the building and on to a symbol on the floor. There is a man across the room, which got on the phone the second they walked in.
Without a second thought she reaches out with her mind and find that he called her father to warn him she was there so he could hide a couple of agents called red and blue.
Abby rolled her eye and thought to herself Leave it to Daddykins to think that Hellboy is going to scary me! And who the hell is Blue? That little cartoon dog with spots?
She's startled from her thoughts by the floor she was standing on jerking slightly, she then realizes that it was a lift and she's already at the bottom. Must stop zoning out not safe with these… Her thoughts are interrupted by the soft buzzing feeling she gets when another physic is trying to read her and immediately puts up her mental barriers and snaps her head toward the source of invasion.
A few feet away are two large golden doors that are cracked open slightly and an agent is standing in front of them. Abby can tell right away it wasn't him but before her mind can explore behind him she is interrupted by her father.
"Abigail, I hope you didn't have an trouble finding the place?" He says in that tone that says he's forcing himself to be nice.
Abby tries not to gag and glares at him, "One of the lady's I beg off of gave me a lift when I said I had a long trip to meet family."
Manning nodded and motioned a agent forward, "This is Agent Kepler. He'll show you to your new room and you can get cleaned up, I'll send a female agent to take you shopping for new clothes later."
With that the agent shuffles forward, " Miss Manning if you'll, " before he can finish Abby has him lifted off the ground by his color, " My name is Marsel! Not Manning."
The Agent gulps and nods his head, adjusting his clothes as she sets him down, "Th-this way M-miss Marsel."
Abby sniffs and with one last look at the golden doors follows the cowering man down the hall.
A/N-Well my friends what do you think? Please Reveiw!
