Chapter 3
John's P.O.V.
After my arrival in the building, I was lowered down into an underground facility. There I met Professor R. J. Broom, and Abe; a blue fish man. Then I was handed over to an agent Clay. We were right in front of a huge vault.
"So you've met the fish guy right?" He asked. "Ya, that was weird." I had to admit, Abe really freaked me out. Clay then proceeded to pull out some sort of key and used it to unlock the vault. Once it opened Clay turned towards me with a nod of his head, "Come on in, and meet the rest of the family." I gave Clay an incredulous look.
I followed him into the room. "He gets fed six times a day; he's got a thing for cats. You'll be his nanny, his keeper, and best friend." 'What's he talking about?' I started to winder if Clay was in his right mind. Looking around the "room", if you could even call it that, I saw televisions, comics thrown everywhere, and just as Clay had said, there were cats; lots and lots of cats. My eye twitched unconsciously. As I was scanning the room I came across a picture of a woman. She had blonde hair, and light blue eyes. But the most prominent feature was her pointy ears. Getting back to the subject at hand I wondered who Clay was talking about.
"Excuse me, who?"
Clay handed me a Hellboy comic book. "I hate those comic books, they never get the eyes right," a deep voice said. I looked up. A huge red man was weight lifting. He had a stone arm, a tail, and what looked to be filed down horns. "Hellboy, he's real." I thought out loud. "Ya, sixty years old by our count, but he doesn't age like we do. Think reverse dog years, he's barely out of his twenties." Clay said. The conversation carried on with mentions of hair implants and filed horns. All of a sudden an alarm went off, "Code red, warning code red." Hellboy looked up and smirked. "Hey, hey, hey, it's my time. C'mon John, lets go fight some monsters," Hellboy said. 'Did he say monsters?'
Sora's P.O.V.
After the alarm went off I made my way towards the garage. 'I hope Red hasn't met the new guy yet.' I pleaded to myself.
Rounding the corner I opened a mechanical door to the garage. Inside, agents were scrambling around the huge room to prepare to leave. They reminded Sora of chickens running around without their heads. A dry chuckle escaped her lips.
Once she saw her mode of transportation she sweat dropped mentally. 'We really need to get a new set of wheels'. Right in front of her was a garbage truck. Not your ordinary garbage truck, but a monster fighting, battle ready vehicle. Inside awaited Sora's holster for her guns, and her belt that had the BPRD symbol on it. On her belt was also her communicator, extra ammo, a large knife, some granola bars tucked into a small pocket, and a small protection charm given to her by Abe as a welcome present. She made her way over towards the "inconspicuous" vehicle.
Once inside she opened a locker with her code name on it. The boys, meaning Hellboy and Abe, decided to call her Wisp. She mentally scoffed at the name. Since her name was Sora, which meant sky, they wanted to give her code name pertaining to the sky as well. She remembered the day when Hellboy first gave her that silly codename.
*Flashback*
Sora was meditating in a training room trying to cool off after a fight that she had just had with Hellboy. He had the nerve to play a stupid prank on her that resulted in her hair tuning bright green! She would get him back somehow, and that was precisely what she was thinking about at the moment. 'I could always sneak into his room at night, and shave all his cats bald!' She thought with a sense of mischief, but then turned the idea down sadly. 'That would be a bad idea though; he'll probably sneak into my room later on and then shave my head bald.' She shivered at the idea.
"Hey girlie, what cha' doin' in here?" Speak of the devil, Hellboy just walked into the room. "Go away Red, I'm trying to plot my revenge." She started to get irritated again.
Hellboy just chuckled and kept advancing towards her. Mentally a vein popped out of Sora's head in anger. "I said go AWAY!!" Sora yelled, but the strangest thing happened, a small gust of wind blew out towards Hellboy and knocked him off his feet. The only thing that Sora thought at the moment was 'Cool'.
"What the hell was that?! "Hellboy quickly got up and glared at Sora. She smiled and then burst out in laughter. If Hellboy was able to get any redder than he usually was he'd look like a sunburned tomato; which was precisely how he looked.
Sora was laughing so hard that she had to hold her sides as they started to hurt. Tears started to roll down her cheeks. Hellboy started to walk towards her in anger, but wat blocked by small wisps of air.
He growled in frustration. A small cough brought both of their attentions to Abe, who happened to see this little display in full while he was walking by.
"That is quite remarkable if I do say so myself. Sora do you think you could do that again?" Abe inquired. Sora nodded. She then closed her eyes and tried to concentrate really hard. Nothing happened. She opened her eyes, and sighed in disappointment. "I guess it was a one time thing," she pouted.
Hellboy took this opportunity while she wasn't paying attention to try to get back at her for laughing at him. It only ended the same way as his first try. Wisps of air were preventing him from advancing towards Sora.
"It seems to me that any possible threat to the well being of Sora is stopped by the air," Abe hypothesized. "Haha, looks like you can't pull any more pranks on me!" Sora gloated in Hellboy's face.
"Shut-up Wisp!" Sora's aura immediately turned dark. Hellboy just smirked. "What. Did. You. Just. Call. Me? Sora's eyes were covered by a dark shadow as she ground out those words through her teeth. "You heard me, Wisp." Hellboy had a death wish. Abe just chuckled and turned to leave, "The name really does suite you Sora." With those words Abe was gone, and was soon followed by Hellboy in fear of Sora's wrath.
Sora couldn't believe that Hellboy had the audacity to give her a terrible nickname, and Abe agreed to it.
Days later everybody was calling her that, and she couldn't help but feel angry all that time. It wasn't until Professor Broom called her that did it make her loose all of her pent up frustration over the name. She did get Hellboy back for it though. For about a week after that, Hellboy's tail was a work of art sporting paintings of bright yellow and pink flowers done by oil paints.
*End Flashback *
Sora smiled at the memory. She noticed that the hatch to the truck was closing, and she turned her head to see Hellboy and Abe going towards their own respective lockers.
She then remembered what Manning had bribed her to do. Walking up behind Hellboy she tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around to face her.
"What do ya want?" He asked a bit annoyed. Oh yeah, she knew that he had met the new guy already. "Hellboy, do I need to make it clear that we have to keep this agent for a while? You can't just keep scaring these guys off you know. Just give this one a chance. Maybe you'll learn to like him." She pleaded to him while giving him a puppy dog face.
Hellboy's P.O.V.
I was already irritated that we were to get a new agent, but after I met the guy he just pissed me off. I couldn't understand the feeling that I got when I saw him looking at Sora's photo. I was one of the pictures I took when it was father's birthday. She was wearing a blue dress shirt, with a grey skirt that reached down to right above her knee. She was smiling at one of the jokes I just cracked when I pulled out my camera from my pant pocket and took the picture. It really pissed her off though. She didn't like having her picture taken, and she was already mad at me for putting lime green hair dye in her shampoo bottle. I would never do that again. The oil paint that she used to paint flowers on my tail took weeks to wash off.
This John Meyers also had the nerve to stare at my horns. I instantly didn't like him. Thankfully the alarm went off, and we had to leave on a mission. 'Saved by the alarm,' I though to myself as I left my room with Clay and the boy scout followed.
I didn't care if the boy scout couldn't keep up with me or not. It would be his fault if he got lost in headquarters, not mine. As soon as I was at the garage I headed straight to the garbage truck, and sealed the door. I noticed that Abe and Sora were already there. I made my way over to my locker and opened it. A tap on my shoulder made me turn around to come face to face with Sora.
Looking at her I couldn't deny myself anymore. I knew that when the boy scout was looking at her picture I was jealous. She had grown on me, and she became one of the people that I hold dear to me, including father and Abe. I wasn't about to let some boy scout take her away from me, and I'd be damned if he ever tried to get too close to her. She is one of a few people that don't judge me for the way I look, and I feel content whenever she is around me. I am not about to give that up.
"What do ya want?" I asked a bit annoyed. She looked at me with knowing eyes. "Hellboy, do I need to make it clear that we have to keep this agent for a while? You can't just keep scaring these guys off you know. Just give this one a chance. Maybe you'll learn to like him." She pleaded with puppy dog eyes.
"Manning Bribe you again? For what this time?" I asked with a smirk forming on my lips. She huffed and admitted that she was bribed with money for books. I smiled, and sighed, "Fine, but it's only so you can get your damn money for your damn books." She jumped in the air and said, "Yay! I'm getting me some new books!" The thing that she did next shocked me. She placed her arms around my shoulders in a hug, and kissed my left cheek. She then skipped off towards Abe to talk about pointless things.
I was frozen to my spot. 'Did she just do what I think she did?' I asked myself in disbelief. I stood there dazed as I touched my cheek where she gave me a kiss.
'What is this feeling that I feel?' I asked myself in confusion.
