Good evening everyone, I'll keep this author's note short and let the chapter speak for itself.
Just a quick message before we start, half of the reviews that were submitted for Chapter 1 have been answered in this chapter, and the other half will be in chapter 3. So for those of you who've reviewed and not seen answers to your questions yet, I promise they will be in Chapter 3 which is coming up very soon :) So enjoy and review with your questions at the end thankyou!
Angel- Hi everyone and welcome to the second chapter of "The FBI's best kept secret uncovered." Thankyou to everyone who had reviewed, as you've been the ones to make this new chapter possible…
Hellboy- Yeah beats a day working with the FBI…
Angel- So I'm not going to say too much in the way of a starter, but before we get on with the questions, "ame-ga-korobu" asked a question that was directed towards Nuada. Can I just state before we continue that Nuada and Nuala are not questionable characters as they did die in the film…
Hellboy- Thank god for that…the last thing I need is another spear being stabbed in my chest.
Abe- I think it would certainly cause some conflict…
Hellboy- conflict?! He's tried to kill me on two occasions…emphasis on the tried. I mean Abe even Nuala held a knife to your throat the first time she met you...
Angel- Yeah…pleasant introduction…
Abe- She was frightened…and concerned about placing her trust in others.
Hellboy- Abe, Belle was frightened, but I don't remember her holding a knife to your throat when you held out your hand to her.
Belle- Of course not, but it's not wrong to be scared of trusting someone.
Angel- Trust placed too easily can never lead to anything good sadly…but anyway enough of that stuff, so yes Nuada and Nuala aren't questionable. But we can now move on to the questions.
"LadyAquanine73551 asked- since you guys quit the BPRD (officially), and live independently of the FBI, how do you, Liz, keep from going insane from getting groceries & cooking for Red?"
Liz- Cooking for Red can be quite a challenge…but most of the time now, instead of having three meals a day he spreads it out so there's less when I cook it, though he often just cooks for himself. Though I think it was a bit of a shock to Belle when she first moved in…I doubt she's ever seen anyone eat quite as much as Red does.
Belle- Never…
Liz- Red eats portions that could feed the whole family for a day…it's not easy to cook so much, and of course we can hardly buy that much on a normal food trip. For groceries, we tend to buy in the regular amount…then Red's is always delivered via truck, because to be honest a car just couldn't handle the weight.
Angel- Truck?
Hellboy- Hey I like my food…
Liz- So it can be pretty exhausting, with two kids to feed as well but Red does help a lot because he knows what he wants, that's why he helps in the kitchen so much.
Hellboy- Like I said to Abe, I'm willing to put my life on the line for her, yet she still wants me to do the dishes…when I do a lot of the cooking as well, I can't win.
Angel- I just think it's pretty good that he actually cooks…anyway here is "LadyAquanine73551's" other question… "And Belle, did Abe tell you his favourite food is rotten eggs? (Century Eggs, to tell the truth). You sure you still want to kiss him after hearing about that?" –and for those of you that don't know what Century eggs are exactly, it's a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice straw for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing. It turns the yolk a dark green and the egg whites a deep brown…Not something I'd ever eat, but there we go- Belle…?
Belle- *glancing at Abe* …no I didn't know that… *unreadable expression…* are you being serious?
Hellboy- *looking at Belle* I was wondering how you'd never mentioned it…
Abe- *sheepish smile* they're a delicacy…
Hellboy- barbeque ribs are a delicacy Blue. Rotten eggs are rotten eggs.
Abe- *tentative* Belle…?
Belle- Well, umm, in answer to your question, no, that wouldn't put me off kissing him…
Dale- *surprised expression* Really?
Belle- I love Abe…and I trust that he'd never let me taste that, so if he's eaten them since my arrival, I haven't known about it, though I guess I'm not too surprised he didn't tell me.
Abe- No of course I wouldn't…I know it wouldn't be suited to your tastes…and I didn't tell you originally because it wasn't something I thought you'd want to know…
Belle- No, but I don't mind, we all have things which are different about us. *Takes his hand*
Liz- It could be worse, remember the cat lady?
Hellboy- The one that ate cats and was scared of Canary's…? That was just weird, and sickening. Who would eat a cat?
Abe- Apparently she would…
Belle- I think I prefer the eggs to cats…
Angel- same, okay so that's the first set of questions, now onto our next reviewer…
"Ame-ga-korobu asks- Hellboy: How would react if people started referring to you as Satan?
Abe: Can you communicate with fish?
Agent Manning: How many antacids do you take in one day?" Okay so that last one is really random, but I did say any questions, so guys?
Hellboy- The first person to refer to me as "Satan" will not be sat at their desks reading this putting it simply. They can still read this if they want to…but it will be from a hospital bed…
Angel- Good job no one ever calls you that, Abe?
Abe- I can communicate with aquatic animals through their senses, but not by directly speaking with them.
Hellboy- So you mean if we get a pet goldfish you can talk to him?
Abe- Not literally Red, no water based animal is that advanced…
Hellboy- Except from you?
Abe- Well that's slightly different, I'm an Icthyo Sapien.
Hellboy- Yeah you still need to live in water…
Abe- Not indefinitely.
Angel- Okay, and Manning? How do you answer that one?
Agent Manning- What kind of stupid and insulting question is that?
Hellboy- *smirking* I think you'll find it's your stupid question, though I think the reviewer who asked that is pretty great. Why haven't I ever asked something like that?
Agent Manning- Because you've got little sense.
Angel- Do you plan to actually answer, instead of insulting the reviewer?
Agent Manning- I do not require Antacid's…on a daily basis…
Hellboy- *laughing*
Agent Manning- Don't you dare…
Hellboy- Manning don't waste your breath, I mean, can't you tell I'm trembling in fear already? *grinning*
Abe- I think it may be best to move on before they start arguing…
Angel- Good point Abe, and thanks guys for your answers ^_^
Abe- My pleasure
Hellboy- Yeah no worries
Agent Manning- Hmm…
Angel- Well while Manning lightens up a bit, here's the next set of questions from reviewer "Kiimm"
"Liz-Who is your closest friend in the bureau? And why?
Belle-what was your first impressions on Abe?" –there's more which will be added in farther down so theirs no confusion. So Liz…?
Liz- That's really difficult to answer…
Hellboy- *smirking* Pick me!
Liz- *laughing* don't put me off Red. I have to admit, Red is like my best friend, he has never let me down. He's always tried his best to do anything that would make me happy. Abe has always given me advice when I've needed it, and well, I have a lot to be thankful for with Belle. She's often been the caring friend that we've all needed at some point or other, and has made me feel good about myself, especially when we go shopping.
Belle- Naturally…shopping is the best therapy,
Hellboy- No wonder she manages to spend so much…
Liz- But I think it would have to be Red, from the very start he's always been protective of me and as well as being my soul mate, he's my best friend.
Angel- That is so sweet *welling up* lol, okay, next one.
Belle- When I first met Abe, I was only able to hear his thoughts, and in being so soothing, I found it a comfort. When I first looked at him and realised that's where the thoughts were coming from, I understood that he was someone I'd never have any reason to fear…I felt like I could trust him from that first moment, and my feelings for him only grew stronger.
Abe- *smiling and putting his arm around Belle's shoulders* as did mine for you…
Angel- Here's the next lot of questions from "Kiimm"
Abe-If there was anyway of bringing Princess Nuala back from the dead, and she was brought back, what would you do? (Seen as you love Belle)
Abe-Why have you and Belle not taken your relationship further? (M rated, kind of further) Does it bother you that Hellboy keeps carrying on bringing that up it front of everyone?"
Hellboy-Why do you find Manning annoying? :) (can I have my free kitty now ;))
Hellboy-Were you worried about your first time with Liz?
Hellboy-What did you think when you found out you had kids on the way?
Hellboy-how long could you go without sex?" Alright…
Abe- *still holding Belle's hand*If Nuala was brought back, I'd be so happy for her, because her death was…unjust…and something that was awful to witness. If Nuala came back, she would be regarded as a very close friend of mine, and I would look out for her. But I've understood that everything happens for a reason, and if Nuala was brought back, my relationship with Belle wouldn't be affected…at least I hope it wouldn't.'
Belle- no…I know that whatever happens we'll always have each other.
Hellboy- I'm interested to see the next question.
Abe- *glances at Belle then to Angel* I have to answer this?
Angel- *shrugs* afraid so Abe, everyone said they'd answer any questions asked…
Belle- It's alright you know Abe…
Abe- I would never pressure Belle into anything she's not ready for…though I think there's some nerves on both sides. It is a little frustrating when Red brings it up, though it's often treated as a "light" comment.
Hellboy- Hey, I just don't get how it's waited this long.
Liz- Oh Red
Hellboy- *innocent expression*I'm part of the question, not my fault…
Abe- but it is something I'd considered though as I said, unless Belle's ready I wouldn't ever mention it.
Belle- *stroking his hand* Blue…
Angel- what a gentleman…and now we come to Red's questions…
Hellboy- Firstly "Kiimm" yeah you can have a kitten, let me know what kind and we'll sort that in the next chapter…and finally.
Abe- Oh dear…
Belle- This could go on a while.
Liz- No swearing Red…
Hellboy- Alright, if you've ever worked with someone who has treated you like…crap, the people you work with like crap, and acted like he controls your life, then you'll get why he annoys me. We quit, he doesn't leave us alone. I save his life, he shows no thanks for it. Abe can agree to that…
Abe- Manning can be fairly insensitive…
Agent Manning- Insensitive?!
Abe- You've never shown fairness towards us all admittedly.
Hellboy- This joker couldn't give a damn whether we lived or not. All he cares about is his promotions and ranking in the FBI –and don't deny that one Manning. Don't get me wrong he's got his less annoying traits…cause next to Fentran, Manning is like a saint.
Belle- I think we can all agree that Agent Manning is nothing compared to Fentran…
Abe- Certainly not, his treatment of other people is considerably lower than Manning…
Agent Manning- and I'm supposed to see the compliment in that, am I? It's no wonder I have to take so many
Angel- Well you can't blame them for that, they do their jobs and they've made sure the public are safe…then you complain about them.
Agent Manning- Oh yeah they do their jobs…though you forget to mention they've been exposed to the public before, they brought two entities out into the open…why am I saying they, I should be saying Hellboy.
Hellboy- If he keeps this up I'm not responsible for my actions, are we clear on that one?
Angel- …lets move on to the next question…
Hellboy- Yeah, though if any reviewers are wondering why Manning isn't in the next chapter, don't be surprised if I start bragging about it.
*Manning and Hellboy exchange glares.*
Hellboy- When it came to my first time with Liz, my only problem was that I was worried about hurting her. I'd always protected Liz faithfully, I didn't want to be the reason she got hurt in any way. But when I found out I had the kids on the way, I was ecstatic, I couldn't believe it. Then to find out it was twins, you couldn't have said or done anything to alter how I felt. I just I can't describe it, next to hearing Liz tell me she loved me that first time, hearing that I was going to be a father to twins was the most incredible thing in my life.
Liz- *on the brink of tears* wow Red…
Hellboy- But other than that the sex has been pretty good.
Angel- *shaking head* Typical HB…so that brings us onto our last question then…
Hellboy- I don't know how long I could go without…and I certainly wouldn't want to find out.
Abe- That is one thing I'm not certain that Red would have much will power with…
Hellboy- Thanks for the support
Liz- Actually that would be interesting to see…
Angel- *laughing* Well we've come to the end of the chapter- don't worry this is the first half to those of you who's questions haven't been answered. As you can imagine getting through so many, it's easier to split the answers into two chapters so it's not as confusing.
Hellboy- Yeah and it gives you a chance to ask us more…
Angel- Right, so we'll be back soon with the second half I can assure you, and then after chapter 3, just keep reviewing and we'll have more chapters and answers for you. This fanfic has its differences from others as it relies on the reviewers to keep it going. So if you're enjoying this and what it to keep going, then review and ask us any of your questions.
Belle- especially considering you haven't hesitated in what you've asked us so far…
Abe- No it's been fairly…straight forward…with their approach.
Angel- Well it certainly makes it simple to answer, though the questions haven't failed to surprise me yet.
Hellboy- and I doubt that'll stop anytime soon.
Angel- Well thanks for your input, and thankyou to the reviewers for your questions, keep them coming and we shall be back soon. Anything to say before we finish?
Liz- Don't think so…
Belle- Only for them to review and continue reading…
Hellboy- Yeah, I mean where else can you question us like this?
Abe- and of course seen as this is the last chapter of this before the day presumably…
All the cast- Happy Birthday! –For Monday!-
Angel- hehe, my first birthday since I've been writing for Fanfiction…Thankyou to all my reviewers as usual, and to the cast of this for answering the questions sent a final note, to my "life and love a new beginning reviewers" I will still be updating Sunday the day before my birthday…so tomorrow in other words lol. Thankyou everyone and goodnight! X
So there you have it, with half of the questions answered, the other half will be up in the next chapter as I said. Please review if you want this to continue, and all questions are welcome... -though some may have to be picked out to be answered in future chapters if this continues to do well-. I may update again before my birthday (so excited :D) and if not it will definitely be just after that...
Thankyou, review and goodnight!
