This story is replacing my Smallville story "Phoenix" because of the lack of reviews and because it was going nowhere. So fans of Hellboy ( movie fans) sit back and enjoy the story. It occurs after the 1st movie but before the 2nd which by the way will not exist in this "reality". If anybody seems to be out of character… I'm sorry this is my first Hellboy story.
Keep on the lookout for clues to who the "Voice" is.
Summary-Blue is a young girl in need of help when she starts to lose control of her ability when a new power comes to emerge. She contacts the BPRD for help and they recruit her much to the displeasure of Hellboy. However, as an enemy pops up on the radar, Blue helps the team in defeating the enemy and Hellboy comes to accept her.
Chapter 1
Stars shone in the night sky as Blue looked outside her window. She yawned as she stood up from the window still. She went over to the small bed in her room where another little girl lay sleeping. Tammy softly snored and Blue smiled. She bent over and kissed her soft forehead. Tammy smiled in her sleep and mumbled as she turned over to her side.
Blue stood up and left the room as quiet as a mouse. She didn't dare wake up the household for fear of another beating. Down the stairs she went passing by an open room where a large man sat snoring quite loudly in his armchair, a beer loosely hanging from his hand. The TV flashed images across its screen. She tiptoed by and went into a small disordered office.
She sat down at the computer and turned it on. She winced as the beeping sounds came from the computer. Once loaded and ready to go, she moved the mouse to open up the internet where she roamed through and found the website she sought for. It was the FBI website. With a few more clicks she hacked her way into a private site where it listed the employees of the BPRD where the world had no clue even existed expect for a few and herself.
Blue gazed at the screen finding the name she searched for, clicked on it, and opened up an email window. She looked back to the sleeping man and started to type.
Dear Agent Myers,
My name is Blue and I am in need of your help. I am a shape-shifter and I am losing control. I'm afraid I will hurt the people around me when my emotions take control, especially my daughter Tammy. I know who you are and who your comrades are as well. I have heard of Hellboy and the things he has done. Heroic and dumb things I should say.
However, an old friend of ours says you can help me and if you can, a deal must be made. I live in an all-girls orphanage and have been all my life. I have never been outside these doors. In order for me to willingly go, I need homes and families to be found for these girls, especially Tammy who is only five years old. I want them all to be adopted and away from this place.
Please let me know as soon as you can by email.
Thank you,
Blue
She clicked the mouse and the message sent. She shut down the computer and went back to her room. She climbed into her bed and closed her eyes with a deep breath as if a weight has been lifted from her shoulders. A voice trickled through her mind and she smiled.
"Sleep tight my dear," a man's voice said.
The next day she woke up early and yawned. The sunlight shone through the window and lit up her drabbed room. She got up and went over to Tammy.
"Tammy, it's time to wake up for school," Blue said as she gently shook the small girl's shoulder.
"Blue…," Tammy said as her eyes slowly opened.
"C'mon Tammy, you know you have to get up," Blue smiled.
"Awww…," Tammy moaned in displeasure.
Blue laughed and shook Tammy's blanket off the bed. Tammy got up and slowly with a yawn, went to the bathroom. As Tammy went, Blue went to the small furniture filled with clothes. She set out the clothes for Tammy and went down stairs to cook for the 5 girls and 1 man in the orphanage. The morning came and went as Blue did her daily chores of cleaning the house and getting things ready for dinner.
Blue took her opportunity to use the computer to check her email as soon as the man left. She turned on the computer and waited as she looked outside for any sign of the man coming back. The computer beeped its completion and she once again hacked her way through the internet. She delighted in seeing an email just for her. She opened it and read it.
Miss Blue,
I thank you for your email and I would like to say that you are most certainly welcomed here. It is very rare for someone with an ability, no matter how extraordinary, to come to us for help in regaining control.
And as for your deal, I believe something can be done. Will it be alright if we come get you this Friday? Will that be satisfactory and give you enough time to get the girls ready for their families and for you to pack? Families have already been picked and contacted.
You mentioned an 'Old friend'…I am curious to who that is. Might you tell me who that is?
Agent Myers
Blue was surprised and excited. She wrote back a quick and short response.
Agent Myers,
Absolutely! I will be ready this Friday.
As for the old friend…you wouldn't believe me even if I told you!
Thank you so much!
Blue
She clicked her mouse and off it went. She whooped loudly as she turned off the computer. She sat in the chair as she gazed at the blank computer screen.
"I told you they would help," The voice in her head resounded.
"I know…I'm sorry I didn't believe you," Blue thought.
"It's alright my dear. You have a long and hard journey to take now. Be brave as you always have been and things will be easier than you thought," the voice said.
"I know…it would be interesting to see what happens when we 'bump back' as you always say Professor," Blue said in her mind.
The voice chuckled, "I do always say that don't I?"
"Yup!" Blue chimed.
Blue stood up and pushed back the chair. She went back to her chores and the day went by quickly with her excitement never once backing down. Night came once again and she and Tammy sat together on her bed.
"Tammy, what was it you always wished for every night?" Blue asked the little girl.
Tammy looked at Blue and thought hard.
"A Mommy!" she cried.
"You're right and guess what?" Blue said to Tammy.
"What?" Tammy's eyes widened in expectation.
"You're getting a mommy and a daddy!"
"Really?" Tammy cried.
"Really and truly," Blue said.
Tammy looked at Blue with so much excitement she almost looked as if she was going to burst like a bubble. Then her expression changed to one of confusion.
"But what about you Blue? Won't you have a mommy too?" Tammy asked in her little voice.
Blue sighed as she looked at Tammy. She hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"No Tammy-girl, I won't be getting one," Blue said.
"But why?" Tammy asked.
"You remember Kitty?"
Tammy nodded.
"Well you know how I can't bring her back?"
Tammy nodded again.
"I'm going to a special place that will help me bring Kitty back and all those other animals you love," Blue explained as best as she could to a five year old. "Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
Tammy looked at Blue and nodded sadly. She turned towards Blue and gave her a big hug.
"I wish you were my Mommy," Tammy mumbled against Blue's shoulder.
Blue's eyes filled with tears and her arms squeezed her, "Me too, my girl, me too."
