Monster
I walked into the library, Dad looked up from talking to Myers who looked scared out of his mind.
" Did I interrupt something here?"
I asked, walking over to Dad and hugging him, eyeing the new person. He had grabbed me a cup of coffee which got him off the I will kill in three seconds if he say something wrong too maybe I will smack him on the head for pissing me off.
" No we are done here, When will you be getting something to eat?"
Shrugging I walked over to Abe and took his breathing apparatus and started to place it where it was supposed to go. Abe nodded and walked up the stairs into his tank. Dad nodded and then he and Myers left, probably went to talk to Red.
" Hey Abe, is Dad hiding something from me?"
I asked, flipping through a random book, shutting it when I saw a picture of a demon. That's what I was...but I didn't really like to think that.
" He might...might not. Depends on what you are looking for."
Sending a glare at him, he knew perfectly well what I was looking for.
" Abe what would happen....if Dad left? Who will be here for Red and I?
Glancing up at him I saw he just shrugged.
" I don't know, but you will always have Red and myself here for you...maybe Liz when she comes back."
Nodding I couldn't help but miss Liz. For the longest time I was the only girl here then she showed up, thirteen times she quit and left us. She always came back, but it got to the point I gave up on trying to figure her out. She kept her facial expressions to the minimum so it was hard to read her without entering her mind.
" Abe, am I a freak for trying to look human?"
I whispered, I kept seeing the way Myers looked at me when I let my features shift.
" No, you are being you. I think it's amazing how you are able to do so, yet your brother cannot."
Nodding I let my features slip into my demonic like state. Red might have to saw off his horns but me, I got to keep mine. They were honestly kinda cute, just tiny little curls on either side of my temple. I walked over to a large chair and curled up with a book,
" Abe, wake me up when it's time to go please."
" Will do Sparky."
Sending one final glare at him I started to read, then slip into oblivion.
-time skip-
Abe was taking off his breathing apparatus and his spandex suit, he looked unsure about going down into the dark water, and I didn't blame him. Red held out a small vial of something and Abe took it,
"There you go, Doctor. This should cover your tailfin -- On loan from the Vatican, a bone from Saint Dionysius. Ugh. Looks like a pinky."
Abe looked at it then back at Red.
"Remind me why I keep doing this."
I shrugged and fought the urge to tell him not to go, something wasn't right down there, I could just feel it.
"Rotten eggs and the safety of mankind."
Red said looking down at the hole, Abe nodded,
" Oh right."
Then the fishman turned on his locater and jumped, into the dark waters. I wish I was able to breathe underwater, something wasn't right.
" Red. I'm...worried for Blue."
I said, turning to look at my brother. He shrugged,
" How come you never call him Blue to his face, it's always Abe or Fishboy. Never blue."
Shrugging I glanced back at the hole, something was so not right. I got up and shook my head,
" I'm going to go look on the far side of the tunnels. Then I was off, making my way over falling bricks and crap that people have thrown down here over the years. In truth I just wanted to get away from the bad feeling. I couldn't handle it. Taking out my flashlight I started to look around, there was no way my communicator would right here,too much shit blocking the signal. I looked around for about a good ten minutes then my belt went up, lighting up as a blue color...Abe. I turned and sprinted back to where I had left everyone, but when I got back I couldn't help but let out a gasp. Quarry was ripped to shreds, his face covered in blood, oh god. I ran back to where we had let Abe down into the water. Water was everywhere and there was a trail of blue blood coming from the hole. Looking around I spotted blue gray skin, Abe! I ran over and nearly screamed. Abe was covered in blood and not moving. I kneeled down and felt for a pulse, it was there, but not strong. Hitting my communicator I screamed,
" MAN DOWN, MEN DOWN WE NEED ASSISTANCE. HELP PLEASE!"
" Ellie what happened?"
Red's voice came throught,
" Red please it's Abe...Quarry is dead...I don't know about Moss...Abe is hurt please Red!"
Silence,
" Ellie...Clay is down too."
I froze, this can't be happening.
-time skip-
I sat in front of Abe's tank, sniffing, I wasn't going to leave him. He was always there for me. How could something like this happen to him? Red stood next to me, his hand on my shoulder. Moss turned out to be dead too, Clay was in the ICU at the hospital...I should have stayed with them, they would be alive if it wasn't for me...it was my fault.
"He'll make it."
Great, Manning was here, he was just what I needed to cheer up.
"But not everyone was so lucky...Two agents died today. Clay probably won't survive the night. You two are reckless."
I didn't turn around, just brought my knees up to my chest and put my forehead on them.
" We knew those men better than you did."
Red said, anger was clear in his voice, he was taking the losses hard too.
"Ah, I see. That makes it all alright then."
I looked up, he fucking didn't just say that. I got up, spinning around to face him.
"No, it doesn't make it right, but I stopped that creature, didn't I?"
Red said, nearly shouting. Manning didn't seem to care about anything because he kept running his fucking mouth.
"That's what you do. That's why we need you. You have an insight. You know monsters."
That's it,
" What the hell does that supposed to mean? That my brother and I are monsters?"
I yelled, clenching my hands together, I wasn't going to cry now, he was here and he wasn't going to see me cry.
"In the end, after you've killed and captured every freak out there... there's still two left...you and your freak sister."
Red just walked over to a large metal tube and picked it up, disconnecting the cables making sparks fly everywhere. I watched as fear filled Manning's face and he ran out of the room, leaving Hellboy and myself standing there. I turned back to the tank and sat back down. Tears now flowing freely.
" He blames you...when it's all my fault. If only I stayed with them...maybe they would be alive...and then there would be one less freak out there...Hellboy I wish it was me in that tank. I wish it could have been me that got killed instead of Moss and Quarry..."
I buried my face in my knees, Red placed his hand on my back, rubbing it a bit before he walked away...Leaving me alone with my thoughts.
" It's going to be ok."
" No it's not. Manning was right. It's our fault that two people are dead and Clay is in the ICU."
" They were doing their job."
" You got hurt. I knew something was wrong, that something was going to happen Abe! I was scared to leave you all, and what did I do? I hightailed it away from everyone. Letting people die...and get hurt."
" I'm going to take a nap in a few seconds, but let me tell you this, I do not blame you, they wouldn't blame you. Hellboy does not blame you...no one but that jerk Manning Blames you. Go to bed, I will be fine. Go visit Liz. She is back."
" I don't want to see her."
" Ellie."
" Abe."
" Go see her or I will refuse to get out of the tank when I can."
" Asshole."
" Go see her and then sleep. Please?"
" Fine."
I got up, placed my hand on the tank for a moment, vaguely feeling Abe's pain, then turned. Might as well go say hi. I headed down in the direction of Red's room only to run into Myers and Liz, who looked slightly pissed off. She took one look at me and pulled me into a hug,
" I missed you Sparky."
" You too Burn."
She pulled away and sighed,
" Red seems like he is in a bad mood...talk to him?"
I shrugged,
" Maybe. Where you going?"
She glanced back at Myers who looked a bit scared,
" For some coffee."
Blinking I grinned,
" Awesome. Have fun, Myers look out for pickpockets and grab me one with lots of creamer please!"
He blinked,
" You aren't going to act like an ass like Red?
" No, if Liz is happy then I'm cool with it...just don't do anything stupid please."
He nodded and I smiled. But it hurt to smile now. I was going to check on Red now, that was for sure. He would be furious to find out that I nearly gave my okay, but he couldn't yell at me later. I wanted to spy on them now. I hurried down to his room, almost getting something thrown at me.
" What do you want?"
Grinning I walked over to a wall where the brick wall was.
" You know...a good punch to this wall would mean freedom and then maybe...a few high jumps we could go watch. That is if you want."
He raised his eyebrow.
" I like the way you think."
-mini time skip-
Red and I were on the roof, watching the two as they got coffee. To my happiness Clay got a third cup.
"What are you two talking about. What's so fascinating? So important?"
Red grumbled, leaning closer until he almost fell forward. Dumbass. They two moved away from the building they were getting coffee from and Red and I jumped from one roof to another, keeping them in our sights.
I caught snippets of what they were saying, Myers kept asking if she wanted sugar or milk,
" She takes it black you moron."
Red muttered, nearly glaring holes into the back of the poor man's head.
" Told ya."
Rolling my eyes I watched as they continued to talk, then Liz snapped Myers picture. Then they were off again, heading over to a park. Shit, looking at Red I saw he was already getting ready to jump, backing up a bit I ran and jumped, my feet hitting the roof while he almost missed it. He pulled himself up and then his eyes widened.
"Hi..."
Turning I saw that there was a kid feeding some pigeons. Shit.
"You're Hellboy and Demon girl or Sparky."
I had such a lame hero name.
" Shh, We are on a mission."
My brother said, walking past the kid and looking over the edge of the building, the kid looked almost star struck as he looked at Red. Damn guess I was lame to him too. I walked over and kneeled down almost to the kids height,
"Don't tell anyone, huh?"
He nodded vigorously, guess I wasn't that lame.
" Hey kid wanna see something cool?"
I whispered, he nodded again and I sat down cross legged, then held out my hand, as usual my hand glowed blue, then as I breathed in and out, it changed colors. Until about eight different colors were in the palm of my hand. It was almost like Liz's fire, but I could control it and maybe even make it stronger or just weak enough to show the kid. His eyes widened, grinning I closed my hand, cutting off the little show.
" Show off."
Red grunted, not looking at me. I guess I was being a bit of a show off, but when your brother could eat like a pig, throw cars and a few other tricks, you'd have to be creative on how people saw you. But i had no problems with that...not at all. After a while the kid went and got some Milk and cookies claiming his mom made them. I took a bite and grinned,
" These are good kid!"
He grinned and then Red started to grumble again,
" Come on! Look at him, those shifty eyes, that... phony grin!"
I turned and watched as Myers yawned and then...yep.
"Oh, the yawning trick. That's so 1950's! Watch his arm..."
I snicked at how stupid that looked, then Red threw something, hitting Myers dead on. Red snickered and high fived the kid, what a big baby.
"Just go down there and tell her how you feel! My Mom says..."
Red kept shaking his head, it wasn't that easy kid. Liz was like Red's Moon and stars. To him he would mess everything up if he told her.
"It's not that easy, okay? Plus, you're nine. You're not old enough to give me advice...Though my sister over here, she could take that advice and use it to her own person use."
Glaring at him, what the hell was he implying? I liked no one, been that way forever. No one liked me, I liked no one in return.
"Who are those guys?"
Red and I looked over to where Myers and Liz were, then people were out talking to them. Agent Lime bounds out of one of the vehicles, grabbing Myers, talking rapidly. Liz screams, covers her ears. Something was wrong...very wrong.
"Something's wrong.."
Red said. I looked at him, then we were off, running as fast as we could go.
