Chapter 1: Ash Like Snow, the moonlit lover

It was a cool night, cooler than it should be. It wasn't Winter yet and Zero was freezing his ass off. He stood up, it had been a strange day. Something bad was coming. He stalked to his bathroom, grabbing cloths and a large jacket for the night. the day had started out normal like any other, but he was sure something was following him around all day, a sinking feeling now and again. Only difference, nothing happened but feelings and strange unexplained noises.

He set the cloths down and looked at himself. He was 6'4, unusual Amber eyes that looked golden. His face was anything but Lilith, he had long black hair in a ponytail, but multiple strands sat at the sides of his face. He was a practitioner of martial arts and parkour, a usual thing in New York.

He sighed and ribbed his face "I'm going insane, or mad. Probably the latter" he said. He put a finger to his shirt collar, but a knock on the door stopped him. He put on his large coat, still freezing and torn away to what would have been a hot shower.

Upon opening the door, he saw a man in a suit, looked federal "Mr. Xercies Diiz I presume?" he asked. Zero nodded, and was handed a letter "it is an invitation to join B.P.R.D." Zero had never heard of the organization sadly,, but took the envelope non the less. "Thank you…" but once he looked up, the man was gone.

Zero sat, staring at the letter, thinking of the man. Not a piece of skin was visible to him when Zero saw him, the hat had blocked any view of his face. The voice, was different, fluid but scratchy. He opened the letter and read

"Dear Xercies, of you are reading this, then your curiosity has allowed you the privilege of thinking about joining. Inside is a form, a map to the building, and this letter addressing you. I hope you consider our offer.

-Abe"

It ended there but he knew there was more to it "damn, I must be an idiot, or a very brave curious person" he said. He took out the form and looked at it. For being a application, it was short and sweet, no overload.

He began filling it out, until he hit two questions that made his brows furrow, both optional. One being species, the other being Power/Ability. He looked skeptic, but was pretty optimistic, could be an IQ part of the test, might not. He left them blank and finished. He stood and walked out of the house.

It wasn't long before finding the building, it wasn't normal. It looked normal, but didn't feel like it, he observed. He sighed, the building was a normal 4 story building, a usual Office building, but it had a suffocating sense of creepy. He had always been like that, more aware of the physical world than most. It was so normal to him to feel things most don't, but this was abnormal to his standards.

He halted once he reached the door, it took all of his strength to open the door, an agent ran over once they realized he was just suffocating from the lingering feeling and energy. Heh was helped up as he blacked out, noticing what looked like a large, red demon coming out to see what was going on, but before he could fully see the guy, he slipped into unconsciousness.

In his mind, images of death and terror reeled around it, horrible creatures dead, agents dead… and a dead old man, a figure dressed fully in metal with blade tonfas, the weapon was a guess though. Another image, sad, the red demon he saw earlier, kneeling over the old man. It almost brought him to tears feeling that sadness, that utter hopelessness. But all dreams had to end.

He woke up with a start, the feeling had died down, now that he was used to it, but he still felt it. The same agent that was at his house stood in front of his bed. He took off his gloves, revealing blue, webbed hands. Zero raised an eye brow "Mr. Xercies Diiz, I am Abe sapien" he took off the large hat, a blue amphibian face stared right back "and welcom to the BPRD" he said.

Zero smiled and stood from the bed "Abe huh?" he asked "Well abr, Where is the Red demon I saw before passing out, I'd like to meet him" he said. Abe looked at him "You saw him? Oh boy, is that why you fainted?" he asked.

Zero laughed at a confused Abe. He suddenly stopped and looked at Abe "No, I felt the pain of this area" he said. "What do you mean? Psychic?" Zero shook his head "if I was, it be for people not the area" he said "am I paranormal? Not that I know of" he said.

Abe composed himself quickly "I am a psychic you know" he said "But, of you want to meet Hellb— I mean Red, I see no harm." he said. Zero noticed questions would be inevitable, He didn't have any however. He sighed as he followed Abe "so why invite me here?" he asked.

Abe was walking, staring straight ahead "You were being followed by something bad, so we thought you would need a way to fight back before it killed you" he said "the only way it be after you, is your a part of the supernatural, or you made an enemy that was one" he said.

Zero sighed "Only a idiot would believe that the supernatural exist, that's what logic says. So I guess I'm an idiot" he said, starting to grasp the meaning "that feeling, I'm part of this supernatural Rabble now, aren't I?" Abe nodded. They arrived at a reinforced door "Well, it doesn't blend in very well" he said.

Abe opened the door, and Zero saw movement, a small orange blur. He caught it as it collided with his chest. A tabby cat, it nuzzled his chest and purred "And Cats seem to like me" he stated. He let the cat down, when standing back up, he was face to face with the red Demon from before "It's a pleasure to meet you, hellboy" he said.

The demon huffed "Likewise, come on in then." he said stepping aside for Zero to walk in. He closed the door after the tabby had followed zero in. It made zero curious to walk inside the room and to be face to face with 24 sets of cat eyes on him. Cats always loved him, heck, all animals loved him.

He sighed and sat down "You going to tell me why you came to see me, a demon? I don't understand why" Hellboy started "I wanted to say this now" Zero Interrupted him "I saw you Lost someone dear…" that earned him a hand to his shirt collar, a reaction expected, without tensing or flinching, he looked up at him "I would say that it wasn't a false image then" he said and patting the flesh hand grabbing him "I'm sorry I upset you" he said.

Hellboy no longer looked menacing, his hand slacked and his stove hand went on his face "No, I'm just an idiot, I just threatened you for being sympathetic" the sadness in those yellow eyes burned "no, it's quite alright, I said that to you, I expected a reaction like that" he said.

After an awkward silence Zero sighed "let's start over then" he held out his hand "Xercies Diiz, call me Zero" he said. Hellboy shook it with the stone hand "Hellboy, Call me Red" he said.

Zero walked out of the room, smiling to himself, he had spent an hour getting to know Red, the demon was interesting, but the gun loving part was a difference. Zero preferred Weapon and Melee Combat. He had a distrust for the usefulness of guns, it eliminated any defense and any way to fully know you Won.

In his thoughts, he didn't know a woman was following him, Shorter than him, but with red hair, She looked utterly Pissed. Zero grimaced as she caught up "Hey, can I talk to you?" he expected to hear, but alas she said "Hey, Get Your ass over here" she said. Zero shrugged and followed her to an empty office space "Uhhh… Can I help you?" he asked. She sighed "Yes, you look like you can held your own, I'd like to fight you"

"Wait, Hold up, your mad, and you want to take it out on me?" he asked, shocked. She smiled "yes. I'm Liz by the way, pyromancer" 'great, she wants to fry me…' he thought.

"Sorry, I have to go take a entrance exam in 20 minutes, training and all that" he backed up to the door, and ran out, hearing the angered protests. She ran after him 'Holy shit!' he thought. He sped past Abe, who was talking to an agent about a leak in his tank. The guy looked surprised and shocked to see Liz Run after Zero.

The woman was crazy, it was simple. She had chased him into a condemned building and started a fire by accident, a spark had flown and hit wood that had no water, it shot up like kindling. He now was inside the burning building by himself, with the front door blocked, borded up windows, and no way to hack his way out. The tap still worked, so he started wetting the house, so the flames would not spread, but they still did.

He was beginning to suffocate and loose consciousness. He took a chance, spilling water all over himself and charging for the door, jumping forward, through the flames, above a burning beam, and outside.

He was on the ground, ashes falling around and on him, come to the touch, but obviously was hot. He was facing the sky as a figure, hellboy charged towards him, Liz must have gotten to the bureau and told hellboy.

The demon looked beautiful in the moonlight, the horns illuminating softly in a dark ivory color, the eyes lot by moonlight, and his skin had a glowing hue to it. Zero had know for a few years he was gay, but never had fallen in love, or very close to it. But the demon had changed that.

He smiled "My Moonlit Love" He said before losing consciousness, drama never came that night, because he didn't need them. He had found something he thought he could only dream to find. Love.
