Disclaimer: I do not own any of Hellboy. Saddly...

Author's Note: Decided to throw an OC in the mix for Nuada. This my first Hellboy fanfiction so bare with me. I think I should get better as I go. Please review!

Memory 1

Allison ran from the mob of people who called her a monster. She ran for her life until she heard someone call out to her. She turned to see an older man beckoning to her, arms outstretched to welcome her into an embrace. She impulsively jumped in his waiting arms, instantly feeling comfort envelope her as he hugged her.

The red headed girl sobbed into Dr. Broom's shirt, while he stroked her hair. After her minor emotional breakdown, they both walked to the waiting helicopter, that would take them to the secret facility in New York.

Present

Allison sat in her favorite chair in the library, staring at the old man who had saved her 8 years ago. She stared at the old man she had referred to as Father, since she heard her call her brothers call him the same. As she stared, Dr. Broom smiled and addressed her.

" Now Ally... Haven't I taught you it's rude to stare?" He turned and looked over his glasses at her graceful frame, still smiling. " I'm working, so why don't you go bother Hellboy? He needs to get away from those cats of his." Dr. Broom turned, dismissing the 17 year- old from the library.

Allison ran through the maze of corridors that led to her brother's room. As always, grass and wildflowers grew in her wake. As she reached the security door, she turned and sighed to see the growth. She pulled her fingers into a loose fist, the plants dying away as she did. She then turned and punched in the code to unlock the door, and entered the door to hear a droning buzz coming from the bathroom.

Ally walked to the side of the door and glanced at reflection of the mirror. She saw Hellboy sanding down his horns, and it brought on a distant memory to mind as she watched him.

Memory 2

The trembling girl walked into the cluttered room, hearing a droning buzz come from a open door just past the bed. She walked timidly to the doorway and addressed the hulking red giant, who was sanding down his horns.

"Hello?" Hellboy glanced at her for a second, then reverted his optical attention to the mirror. But he addressed her somewhat smugly.

"So, you're Allison, huh?" His yellow eyes watched her as she fumbled for a reply. She jumped as she felt something brush against her leg. A smile tugged at her lips as she looked down to see a small black and white kitten staring up at her. She giggled and dropped to the ground, petting the purring kitten. The giant stood in the doorway, watching as the two of them played on the floor. After a moment Hellboy spoke.

" You can have him if you want." Allison looked up and giggled. She then looked serious, rising slowly. She timidly stepped toward him and hugged him to the best of her ability.

"Thank you." Hellboy stared at the little girl for a moment, before lifting her into a bear hug...
