Hey, Welcome to my first Multichapter Hellboy FF. I hope it reads well, also in later chapters if I get a character wrong, you can tell me as long you aren't nasty about it. Also my homepage has this OC's 'Profile' It tells you her peronal information, Age and such, if your interested. Enjoy the intro
It was late, about 10pm, which is why Penny had been so surprised find a coffee shop open. The small deck outside the shop, where she was sitting, was being cleared of tables and chairs. Penny turned her head to look at the empty streets, sipping her coffee as she did so. Sighing, Penny leaned back against the chair, so she could stare up at the sky and count the stars. A small smile graced her lips, she never got to relax like this.
Suddenly her throat began to tighten, Penny straightened putting the blame on the stretching of her neck. Unfortunately it only worsened, pushing out of her seat Penny stumbled to the counter.
"Was there nuts in that?" Penny found herself gasping the words rather than speaking clearly.
"Yeah" The blonde teen answered in a bored tone "Its our Hazelnut Special"
"Call a-" Penny suddenly collapsed, terrifying the young man behind the counter.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Penny groaned, her head felt like it had stuffed with cotton wool. Her eyes flickered open cautiously, her vision was slightly blurred as she looked around. A dark-haired woman was standing at the bottom of her bed.
"How are you feeling?" She smiled sweetly at her, too sweetly.
"Who are you?" Penny stared at the woman, she wasn't dressed like a nurse or a doctor.
She smiled again "Elizabeth Sherman, but everyone calls me Liz."
"I'm Penny"
"I know" Liz smiled "I was sent here to offer you a job."
"A Job?" Penny groaned, she needed the money "What kinda job?"
"At the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defence. B.P.R.D for short" Liz smiled "We need some-one with your abilities."
Inwardly Penny panicked, what did she know about her? "What ability?" She asked calmly.
"Your ability to adapt to survive in different environments"
A small part of Penny screamed at her to run, "I have no idea what you are talking about"
Liz sighed "Look, at the B.P.R.D. we remove threats, dangerous creatures away from humans, we keep protect the human race from the magical race. I know about your ability, and you should know I have one too."
Penny remained silent while she stared at Liz, her mind was running over her words again and again.
"You wouldn't have to stay if you didn't like it there" Liz looked at her "Will you come?"
