A/N: my bad, my bad. Sorry for the late update, been in a rut… and I had to watch Hellboy again just to get inspired I am also writing my fic for Gargoyles so I'm really sorry for this late update.
Chapter II
A New Recruit
Abe blinked at Hellboy "Really? Myers and Liz have gone to recruit a new person?" he asked "Yup. Myers believes that he can recruit her into joining the Bureau." Hellboy explained "Oh. And this 'she' happens to be telekinetic?" Abe asked again. Hellboy opened his mouth to ask how he knew, when it came back to him that the fish man is psychic.
"Yup, guess you won't be the only psychic here in the Bureau." Hellboy said as he smoked his cigar. Abe was quite intrigue of this new information, a new recruit who has psychic powers like him, this could be interesting. He sighed, that is, IF Myers and Liz can convince her to join.
Avery stared out the window, bored. She had taken her Edgar Allen Poe book out and read a few poems and short stories, but after a while, she stopped after she read The Raven, she sighed "So, do you have any special powers?" she asked the two "I don't have anything special, I just look out for… H.B." Myers answered "But I'm pyrokinetic." Liz added and Avery nodded "Cool, the ability to control fire." There was silence for half a minute when Avery asked "So what does an agent do?" "Nothing real special, watch out for the team, help them when needed, take them to where the problem is…" "Oh, so you're pretty much like a babysitter." Avery added.
Liz tried not to laugh and Myers' cracked a smile "I guess so." He said.
After an hour of talking, Avery took out her MD player and listened to her favorite songs, she fell asleep after awhile.
Avery was dreaming, she knew she was dreaming, but it looked so real. The only reason she knew it was a dream was that everyone were moving so fast. She stared as Myers and Liz talked to a big red guy or in Liz's case, arguing with him on something. All around her, agents walked by.
Avery noticed a door, instinct told her not to go in, but curiosity got the best of her and she walked to the door. She hesitated and slowly open the door.
She walked pass the door and found herself in a library. Avery gazed at the shelves and pondered on why there was a tank in one of the walls. She headed over to it and stared into the clear water.
She jumped when a hand touched the glass.
Avery yelped as her eyes opened. She blinked, confused at where she was and cough in embarrassment. "You ok?" Liz asked turning in her seat "Yeah… just a dream… surprised me… sorry." Avery said sheepishly.
"No worries, we're here." Liz reply and Avery looked through the wind shield to see the huge building. "Wow. It's big." She whispered.
"Jus wait until you see the inside." John told her.
John pulled the van up to the building and made a complete stop. All three got out and stretch, as soon as they got the kinks and cramps out, Liz and John help Avery grab her stuff and entered the Bureau. Avery's eyes scanned the massive hall and noticed no doors "Where's the door?" she asked.
"You'll see." Liz said as John beacon for Avery to join them to stand on the crest.
Avery stood between Liz and John waiting for something to happen when all of a sudden, the floor jerked. Avery gasped as the floor began its' descent. Once it made its stop, Avery looked at the new surrounding "What do you think?" John asked.
"It doesn't look so bad. At least it's not like you keep everyone with gifts in cells and treat them like freaks." She answered.
Liz smile "Yeah."
They took Avery to her room and as she set her bag onto the bed she look the room over "Not to bad, not as big as my old room but it will do." She said.
"Would you like a tour of the Bureau?" John asked. "Yes." She replies.
20 minutes in with the tour, Hellboy came out a room "Liz! You're back." He exclaim happily. "Hey HB." She greeted.
"So how did it go?" he asked.
"You can see for yourself." Liz told him turning to Avery.
Avery stared at Hellboy and he stared back "Oh, I thought she was taller." He said. Avery raised a brow "Yeah? Well I always thought you looked like a giant monkey." She retorted.
John bit his lips and Hellboy stare down at Avery "A wise guy." Liz chuckle "Oh calm down Red, it's not so bad." She told him.
"I'm so happy that you found it funny, I thought it was so funny I forgot to laugh." Hellboy said sarcastically.
Avery stood there watching Liz and Hellboy get into an argument, she looked about and saw agents walk by, ignoring the group. She found this familiar, especially the door that seem to draw her to it. Knowing what was behind the door, she open it and waltz in.
I was going to make this longer… but I decided to save it for the next chapter, I'm evil like that XD also, sorry about the lame ass retorts Avery and Hellboy said to each other, couldn't think of anything else...
