Me: ok, this is my first Hellboy fic I actually wrote down. I've thought of others a lot, but never actually uh... typed... them. So this is really my first, and I'm telling you, I can't think of a way to begin it. I know what I'm going to do. And I must point out, this isn't really a romance. There will be little hints of romance I guess, but it's pretty much just a friendship fic that came into my head (without my permission, granted!) And I decided to get it out of there and onto uh... not paper, screen, but you get the idea... on with the story, sorry for the OOC ness.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hellboy. Maybe if I try really hard... ehhhhhhhhhh... (hurts herself) ok, still not even close.

Hellboy let out an agonizing groan, the smoke he had just sucked in from his cigar billowing around him. Abe watched it curve around the glass of his tank and scratched the back of his head. "Well, at least I can't smell that." He mumbled to himself. Hellboy glared slightly at him.

Neither one of them was very happy today. This was another one of those prized days where the thought goes through their heads "This could only happen in my life." Some new recruit had found something about aliens in Egypt trying to call some monster by sacrificing human blood to the very hungry large stone sphinx, and of course this article had been taken completely seriously and they had been rushed over there to see.

"At least it had been easy to get in disguise." Abe thought. He was playing a stupid game he had learned from a stupid book he had read that he played whenever he had nothing better to do. He had read all the books he had brought, and quite frankly he wasn't in the mood to read about the great stone sphinx and monsters right now.

Hellboy let out another bored sigh, filling the room again with grey smoke. He glance over at the feeble looking new recruits. One of them had watering eyes, and seemed to be trying not to cough. The other one, a slightly stronger looking woman, turned suddenly to Hellboy, obviously annoyed. "Can you just put that out please?" she asked. She seemed to caught on every word, so the words came out dry like sandpaper.

Hellboy grinned slightly. "I'm so sorry, is it bothering you?" he asked. He let his eyes grow wide and his tail rise over his shoulder, blowing twin jets of smoke from his nose. Abe coughed slightly to keep from laughing. This pose normally frightened to new recruits, but just made the people who already knew Hellboy laugh. He looked up at the two "newsies."

The man with the watery eyes fell backwards the next time the bus his a bump in the road. The girl raised an eyebrow, but Abe suddenly felt a slight fear grow in her. However, he also felt a voice in her shouting how stupid it was to be afraid of a fat red monkey. He raised a nonexistent eyebrow, amused.

"You look like your constipated. Smoking will do that to you, I'm heard." she said. Then she went into a slight coughing fit again.

"You-" Hellboy said, pretending to look threatening, he was angry, and a little surprised as well as amused.

The bus suddenly lurched forwards. Hellboy, being as graceful as he is, imediotly fell down onto the floor and began sliding. Abe felt the water in his tank shift. People on the bus grabbed onto things, but the bus turned this time as it went down a hill, and to everyone, everything went dark.

Ok, one other thing I forgot to mention. The Kim you read about in this story is not the Kim from the comic books. This is Kimala, my own invention. And yes, Kimala is a name. Ok, well, how did you like it? Honest opinion, please. Though this isn't really anything. Just sort of an introductery chapter. Give me advice, and complain about me in a reveiw, please!
