Hell Boy

I was sitting on the couch in Abe's room next to Liz. We were talking to Abe about the current events at the Bureau. Liz had her swollen belly against my right side, and I felt a firm kick from one of the twins, I was in the middle of a sentence and it made me jump.

"… Whoa!" I said loudly nearly jumping up off the couch.

"What is it?" Asked Abe, thinking that something had hurt me or something like that.

"One of the babies just kicked me!" I said with a broad smile spread across my face. "They just kicked, I felt it. Oh, I think that one will be a soccer player or something like that." I was really excited; I had been waiting to feel something from the twins. Now they're really starting to move. Liz was laughing as I held my hand to her stomach and waiting for another sign of life. Another firm kick.

"I don't know about the sports just yet, we're not going to even know what they like until they're old enough." Liz said smiling.

"Well I can have hopes for my kids can't I?" I asked, still smiling big.

"Yes, you can definitely have hopes for them. And I'm sure they won't let you down." Added Abe confidently.

Manning walked into the room with some of the FBI guys following close behind and professor Krauss by his side.

"What do you want Manning?" I asked, my smile fading at the sight of that idiot.

"Do I have to want something to come in here?" He asked.

"Umm, let me think, YES." I told him firmly. He had interrupted us in a very important moment in my kids' lives, when they start moving a lot. I like that part. "Especially if you've got your goons following you like you're a mother duck." I said flatly.

PHANTOM

'I have nothing left, Christine's gone, my music is gone, everything that ever mattered in this world… gone. What else is there to live for? My life means nothing without them. Living, no longer seems worth it. If only Christine could have found it within herself to love me, this monster. But no, how could an angel like her, ever love a monster like me? It does seem quite fantastic and very mush impossible. No one could ever love me, the devils child… this hideous beast. '

While I was musing to myself, I hadn't noticed a girl standing in the corner of the room, until her soft voice finally broke the cold dead silence.

"Feeling sorry for yourself?" She asked quietly. The sudden sound made me noticeably jump.

"Who are you?" I asked loudly, hating the fact that someone was in my lair. I couldn't see her; she was hidden in shadow, with what looked to be a hood covering her downcast face. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to save you from yourself." She said with that same soft tone. Her voice was so kind, and held something within it which I could not quite place.

"What are you talking about?" I said with malice and fury dripping from every word.

"No need to yell, I am here to help." She whispered.

"I don't need your help, and what's more I don't want it!" I practically screamed at her.

"My, you are a stubborn one aren't you? Well, you may not want my help, but I did not ask if you wanted it, I am giving it to you whether you like it or not." How could she use such sarcasm and still manage to obtain a sweet and kind whisper. This girl is now truly starting to upset me.

"Who are you? Why don't you show yourself?" I screamed into the darkness surrounding this strange newcomer.

"You want to know who I am, do you? Well then, let me show you exactly who I am." She softly said.

She stepped out of the darkness and pulled the dark hood from her face. What I saw next was nothing my own disfigurement could have prepared me for.

A/N: Hey everybody! Hope you like this. This is my second story, and I just want to know what you all think. Tell me what you think should come next when you think of it; I really love to have input from my reviewers. So, R&R please!

P.S. Has anyone seen The curious case of Benjamin Button? It reminds me of The Phantom in some ways, especially some of the phantom phic stories that people have done. Well, peace out! ^_^
