I was sitting up in my little corner listening to Mozart while reading Harry Potter. It was a few weeks before christmas and I was taking the holiday spirit to heart. I was wearing an oversized red sweatshirt and green legging. I had opted out of wearing shoes and then wore the fluffiest pair of socks I would be fine.The door flew open and Manning came storming in. He walked over to Abe's tank and knocked on it, in a very annoyed voice he said,

"Hey, Fishstick...We gotta talk."

This had to be good, I set my book down and jumped down off the shelf. Grinning as Manning jumped, he sighed and turned back to Abe, who was swimming over to get out of his tank. I wondered what Manning wanted. When Abe got out and walked over to us Manning led us out into the hall,

"Look at that.. Each photo costs a fortune to suppress. And then, naturally, they pop up on the net."

He showed us pictures, it was Red. Then Manning flipped to one where Red had actually posed,

"Oh, Lord... He's smiling in this one."

"I know..It's not just the money. It's the provocation. This is asking for trouble. His ego..."

He paused and said his name causing the doors to open and we continued down the hall,

"...is out of control. And I think it's deliberate on his part...He hates me."

I shook my head and said,

"No, he doesn't. He's just...enthusiastic."

Manning glanced at me and shook his head, then he turned to Abe,

"How are things between him and Liz?"

Abe shrugged,

" Oh, you know. The usual. Since they moved in together- Good days and bad."

We ducked behind a pillar as something boomed then shout out at us. I turned slightly to Maning and finished for Abe,

"Then again, there are the really bad days."

There was my brother, lying on the floor smoking. He must have really pissed her off. He got up and put out a fire that was on his shoulder, then turned to us,

"Oh, hi Blue, Ellie... Manning."

He walked over to the room and stepped over the remaining part of the door, I guess it was his turn to be destructive. Manning, Abe and I started over to the door and peeked in as Red shouldered at Liz,

" Well...I'm not afraid of you! You hear?"

He started to pick up his crap, he ever seemed the throw away anything. It was horrible, I didn't know how Liz could handle it.

"Look I have one rule! One...Don't touch my stuff."

He held up a finger almost like it was going to command that no one touched his stuff, which I was tempted to do now. Liz then appeared, on fire but she looked more hurt than angry.

"You have the same album on CD, LP and an 8 track, An 8 track!"

Red turned and took it from her, almost offended that she said that.

"You can't listen to Al Green on a CD! You just can't! Oh, and 8 track was the way to go...one day mankind will realize its mistake."

He said turning and walking over to the bed, sitting down on it like he was already bored with the conversation. He told the cats that it was ok and then a swarm of cats came bolting from the bed. Cat whore that was what he was.

"What about me Red? I need some space! Not much, but just enough to find...to find...my...toothbrush."

Red looked up almost confused, boy did he not understand females at all. I watched as Liz caught on fire until Red pointed,

"Is that what this is about?? Your toothbrush is right there, behind you...There, there...with the cat food!"

I gagged, poor Liz. She looked ready to break down and cry. Something was not right, she was strong and it took a lot for her to cry now..something had to be wrong.

"Damn it, Red...there's no room for me here. You can't just act like-"

But she was cut off, the alarm for a high class mission was being sounded. Turing to Abe I grabbed his arm and dragged him off to go change for the mission. I hurried to change into black pants, thigh high boots and a black tanktop with a weapon belt filled with new guns, knives and ammo. There was no way that I was going to let anything get to me. Grinning I pulled my hair up and let my demonic features out. I had cut my horns a day or so ago so they weren't back to their full curl so that sucked. Hurrying out I slammed into Abe who started to read the case file. This one sounded fun.

-time skip-

I looked around, the people that had been here had been long dead. Seventy guests had been accounted for and there was no survivors. I headed off into a room a little bit away from the others, wanting to get away from Red and Liz's arguing. It was getting quite annoying right now and we needed to find out what had happened to the guests here. Turning on my comlink I couldn't help but feel I was being watched,

" Hey Blue...are there creepy crawlies in the wall?"

I asked, pulling out my gun and looking at them with suspicion. I had a bad feeling and it wasn't getting any better.

" I'm afraid I do detect some activity."

Fuck meeeee. Creepy crawlies in the wall and then Red asked over com,

"How many...ten?"

"No. Maybe a hundred..or two."

Groaned I headed back where I had came, not wanting to be alone anymore. As I ran back into the room and caught what Abe was saying,

" There are no corpses because there are no leftovers."

I glanced down at the floor, seeing that I was indeed...stepping in shit.

" Awe crap."

My brother grumbled over the com. I didn't blame him. It was nasty. I walked over to Liz and Abe, glad that I hadn't wandered off too far and looked for the creepies.

" All they do is eat, and eat and eat."

" Sound like anyone you know?"

" Liz and I grumbled, we shared a brief smile, but hers faded quickly.

" Come on Abe, what are they?"

" They are tooth fairys."

I looked at him, this was not the time to joke,

"Abe, c'mon.. cut the crap."

He shook his head and said,

"Third century, the Teutoburg forest. Famished. They feed on calcium And they do go for the teeth first. How do you think they got that name 'Tooth Fairies'?"

Shrugging I turned and watched as Liz moved her flashlight over a small hole in the wall there was something there, I could just feel it. Then Abe's detector went off and then there was a rush of movement. Abe pushed Liz behind him and he froze, but I didn't have time to figure out why. I lept into action, shooting at the damned things until the they joined me. They were everywhere, swarming around us, I had to rip one off of me when it bit into my shoulder, but Abe had it worse they were surrounding him. Liz and I aimed at the damn things and Liz shouted for him to keep shooting.

" RED WE NEED YOU!"

Liz all but screamed, A few seconds later a giant naked statue of a fertility god came rollling in, taking out a shit ton of the tooth fairys. I truned to liz, she was on fire, her hair was whipping around her and I turned to Abe,

" Go, there is a safe up stairs, Go Abe Go!"

He nodded and ran off, pulling off the damned things as he went. Running over I Liz I held out my hand, bigger blast means to stupid little tooth freaks.

"Do it, Liz, do it!"

I was chopped liver, again. Liz and I closed our eyes as we let out a huge blast of fire, burning everything. Then Liz shouted something, Red had stood near the window and the blast had knocked him out of it. Sending him flying down into the public eye. Fantastic. Manning was going to be oh so happy with us. Opening my eyes I realized we had fallen to the ground and I was resting my hand on Liz's stomach...I felt something in there...and it wasn't a food baby....

" Liz...you're pregnant."

She looked at me then at the safe,

" Fuck."

-time skip-

I was sitting in Liz's and dumbasses room. I had walked out of the building thinking that there wouldn't be people around but no. Red had to go and get the light shined down on us. Everyone saw who I was...the Tv's kept asking if I should be classified as a freak or a beauty part of the beast. I brought my knees up to my chest and casted a glance at the bathroom, where Liz was taking test after test. We didn't tell Red, but she had to tell him sometime. He would be a fantastic father figure, almost as good as our father. Abe walked over to me and grumbled about how no one trusted him, so i patted his foot and turned back to the TV.

" And look at this guy, he has a toilet bowl around his neck. Anger flared up and I shot a quick volt of electricity at the TV causing it to break. Red looked at me and grumbled,

" Little sisters take all the fun away...over protective of stupid...humph."

" You didn't need to do that....I would have gladly held my own protest of my breathing apparatus."

" Shush. Let me be a bitch."

" But you are not."

I said shush fish man."

I kicked him out of my head and threw up the barriers. Almost as I finished Liz walked out of the bathroom. Slightly pale and shaking. But Red didn't take notice. What a damn child. I got up and stretched, my tanktop came up to about mid stomach, but then back down as I hunched over, when we got back I had changed into shorts and a tank top, no shoes, why bother. I had just started to leave when Manning casually walked in like he had nothing better to do with the world. Poor guy, for once I felt bad for him. He had tried to keep this place a secret, but Red being the dumbass that he was messed everything up.

" You killed me you know. You killed me...."

He continued on, but I shut him out until I head,

" New B.P.R.D. Agent. To babysit you."

I spun around, grinning, maybe he would be able to help keep Red in line, Red jumped up, almost growling,

" A new guy?"

Oooo I like him already. Turning to Abe I grinned,

" This has to be fun."

He shrugged, almost like he was deep in thought and only half heard me. Oh well.

-time skip-

We were gathered around, waiting for the new Agent...turns out he was German. Red didn't really get along with germans, but I didn't care as long as they didn't try to bring another hell on earth for us to fix. As the elevator lift lowered I couldn't help but jump on the balls of my feet to try to see him, but when stopped I couldn't help but still and gasp at the sight. It was another freak. He walked forward in a suit, it looks like he was made of fog...so her was ectoplasmic or something. He stepped out and bowed to us,

"Johann Kraus, at your service"

I turned to Abe, who shook his head and said,

" I like him."

Kraus seemed to glance at us, but I couldn't tell, he had no face after all.

-another time skip so deal-

We were standing in the lab, gathered around Kraus who had pulled out one of the dead fairies. It looked so small and innocent but their bit was sure as hell evil enough.

"Poor things, bought and sold on the black market. Smuggled in tight, cramped cages. Let's see what they can remember"

He said, Abe said something about the seal when Kraus cut in finishing for him. Abe nodded,

" Look who is being a fangirl right now Abe. Another smart mind on the team making it a bit nice for you eh?"

" Hush. Brilliant minds think alike."

" Oh, I understand. I'm not smart enough to be called brilliant. Thanks Abe.."

Slamming down my barriers I turned to see that the fairy had come back to life, it was growling and hissing at Hellboy, which was funny.

"He says that this is a rough translation...the fairy says you are rude, brutish and not too bright"

I snorted, point one for the new guy and little guy.

"Touche."

I heard Abe whisper but I ignored him. I kept staring at the little guy, he seemed so scared...who could have taking him and shoved him into a cage? I knew that he was a little person killer, but it still wasn't right.

"Enough. it seems our little friend here remembers a noise. A very peculiar noise in the last place where his cage was traded: market sounds....Troll language."

I blinked, the one place that we knew for sure that there would be Trolls,

" The Troll Market."

I said, looking up at Kraus, who nodded,

"Jeez,your buddy there doesn't look too good."

Glancing back down I couldn't help but have a sharp intake of breath, it was pale again...dying again. I wonder how it would feel like to be brought back only to die again.

"I'm losing my grip on its limbic system..He feels nauseous. I'm afraid he's about to die."

Hellboy grumbled,

"Wow, You have that effect on me too."

I smacked his arm, that was rude. I watched as the Fairy's cheekbones hollow and then finally collapse, ectoplasm escapes its body and goes back into Kraus's fingertips. It was kinda sad...a life had been taken away again.

"How can we find the Troll market? Its location has been a source of speculation for centuries."

Abe said, Kraus raised his finger into the air and said,

"Yes, well, Trolls dwell under bridges...And Vladimir Vanya 18th century occultist...places it under Washington Bridge."

" We looked there and we never found anything."

Krause turned to Red and said,

" Yes, but not with me."

-time skip-

I was sitting on the roof grumbling. I was told to stay behind with Liz, but I had been able to stay with the group before they went off looking for trolls. Abe was looking through the lens's at my brother, he radiated shock, those things show the true nature...well appearance of things.

" Having fun there Abe?"

I asked, making him spin around, I grinned as he continued to radiate shock.

" What am I more demonic looking than normal?"

He shook his head, not speaking. Fantastic. I got up and walked over the ledge, without turning I dropped down and walked over to the truck, turning off my communicator. My mood wasn't the best right now but I guess that was apparent because even Manning was quite. I flopped down in one of the seats and slammed my head on the desk part of the monitor.

" Hey Kid, you okay?"

Manning asked, making me glance at him from the corner of my eye. He, for once, looked like he actually cared. I shrugged and covered my face.

" I don't know Manning...I'm just so...confused and hurt. But why does it matter? I'm just a boring person."

He didn't say anything, but the next time I looked back he was gone. Great. I placed my head back down and let myself drift asleep.
