Hi everyone, okay before I start tonight, I just want to say I'm sorry about the delay in updating, but until I have enough question's I can't write the new chapters. Also this chapter is a couple of pages shorter than usual, but I had a couple of questions less than the usual amount to work with just so you all know before reading.

Okay please enjoy and review thankyou very much! x


Angel- Well good morning everyone and welcome to Chapter nine of "The FBI's best kept secret"

Hellboy- *yawning* why are we here at this time of the morning?

Liz- it's ten thirty Red…

Hellboy- Yeah I know…I could still be in bed right now.

Belle- though you did wake us up early the other day…

Hellboy- With good reason

Abe- Of course.

Angel- lol, well regardless of the time, tonight we're going to get straight into the flow and answer the questions sent in. Now since the last chapter Manning has returned…

Manning- Well it's better than spending all day in a-

Angel- yes well most know, but for those yet to read the chapter, it's best to say no more. So today we'll be starting with the reviewer "Forever'nAlways" who wants to hear Manning scream like a little girl.

Manning- oh why did I come in today?

Hellboy- I bet after his recent "encounter" he definitely screamed like a girl.

Manning- I did nothing of the sort, I merely stood my ground.

Hellboy- yeah…sure…

Waits until Manning isn't looking and fires his gun into the air making Manning yell out in a near scream.

Manning- Are you trying to give me a heart attack? *indignantly, and gasping for breath*

Hellboy- No, just helping the lady out with her request, though yeah, startling you was a bit of fun.

Manning- Lord help me…

Angel- *laughing* so you've just learned that Manning's apparently religious…okay onto the main question from "Forever'nAlways"

"To Abe, Belle, Liz, HB, and Angel: Do any of you have any irrational fears (phobias)?"

Angel- well I have a phobia – though it's not irrational…my phobia is of being physically ill :S

Hellboy- yeah that's one benefit of being immortal…no illness. Though you'd still be in trouble if you had a phobia of injury…then there'd definitely be a problem.

Abe- I think that can be classed as quite a common fear…certainly most dread the thought of being ill…

Angel- definitely, so Abe do you have any irrational fears?

Abe- I'm actually not keen on very small enclosed spaces…my tank is completely fine, but the tube I was found in was very uncomfortable and claustrophobic to an extent, so that kind of entrapment really unnerves me.

Belle- Well I'm quite certain being locked in a room for the best part of three weeks would have been just as fearful a time for you as it was for me…

Abe- Yes…something I regret not being able to stop sooner…

Belle- It doesn't matter…being with you in the end made it alright.

Hellboy- Always with the love scenes...

Angel- So Red, any phobias?

Hellboy- Nah, wouldn't be much good if I had any though, considering my frequent evening dates I've had…ya know some of them can be so forward

Belle- I don't know how you treat entity's so lightly Hellboy

Hellboy- Trust me Belle after sixty years on the job, ya learn to lighten up a bit around monsters.

Angel- So do either of you have any phobias? (Liz and Belle)

Liz- Mines quite a simple one…I don't like the dark…I've seen too much darkness in my life, so whenever there's no light I almost feel like the bad memories all flood into the darkness.

Belle- for me it's hospitals, I just can't bring myself to be around people who are badly ill...I just find it unnerving...

Angel- hospitals do good for people, but I don't think anyone likes them really, you'd have to drag me into a hospital being perfectly honest :) and here's a question from the last chapter from "StormyChild95" for Manning

"And, Manning (I dont want to be unfair): do you have a wife or kids? :)"

Manning- None…well I have a son to an ex, who I never talk to, but I do see my son occasionally…and he brings my granddaughter. So I do have some family, but with the job it's difficult sometimes to see them.

Belle- you must be very proud to see your son raising his daughter,

Manning- yeah I guess I am really…though I try to be a better grandfather than I was a dad. At the time I was a lot younger, and work was –as it is now- a priority. But now it's really all I have other than those few moments.

Hellboy- it's never too late to lose time with your son, despite my Father's involvement with the bureau I was never left feeling like he didn't want me there. I was always a part of him, as he is of me.

Angel- Interesting background from Manning, and now onto our next question for him and last from "Stormychild95"

"Manning: When Hellboy, Liz and Myers had fought the Sammael's and Rasputin (in the first movie), it seems like they forgot you in that chamber, so my question is: how did you get out?"

Manning- put it this way…I didn't get very far…I managed to move through the chamber, and after finally pulling through it; I didn't know where it was safe to go, or what route to follow. I was gonna go on instincts when Hellboy suddenly showed up at long last. Just smug, after managing to do everything so "easily."

Hellboy- I never said it was easy…just that the supposedly "unleashed god" was a bit of a disappointment. I was in and out of there with a few hours to spare at least.

Angel- As always confident…okay and now onto "Fifth-Generation-B-Baby: Yeah I don't think I could handle fifty cats...but at the moment I have 4 Lucia, Morris, Spaghetti (I didn't name him), Morris and Fluffy (Spaghetti and Fluffy were early b-day gifts from an uncle)"

Hellboy- I've heard of a lot of cat names but Spaghetti? It's like me calling one of mine pancakes…sheesh, and well Fluffy's about as predictable as it gets with pets. *Grinning*

Angel- Lol I agree it's unique… well here's "Fifth-Generation-B-Baby's" question

"To everyone Do any of have any tattoo's? Or do any of you want one?"

Hellboy- well everyone seems to think the markings along my left shoulder are a tattoo, so I guess you could count that yeah. But unless Belle's got any, which I doubt, no one else has any tattoos. Besides, I'd like to see someone try and get ink onto my skin permanently.

Belle- I can assure you I certainly don't

Hellboy- Well there you go *smirking*

Angel- I can't say the thought of the pain sounds appealing lol,

LadyAquanine73551 - Thank u all so much for remembering my birthday :) :D That was very kind of you. Thank u for the offer of a kitten Red, but, though I like cats too, I'm afraid my family would disown me if I had one. Besides, my doggy would eat it :( So best keep those little cuties safe in your room.

Abe- it was not a problem

Belle- no not at all

Hellboy- Yeah fair enough, though I dunno why people waste their time with dogs…yeah I know their loyal but I mean they want attention all the time

Liz- yes not that we know anybody like that…

Hellboy- *grinning* I never said I wasn't high maintenance…

Belle- why is it that you don't like dogs though Red? I love both dogs and cats, they're adorable animals…

Hellboy- yeah till dogs cover you in slime…

Angel- Lol I don't think this debate is going to be sorted in one chapter lol. So onto the questions

"Red, Liz, and Abe: 1.) Did any of you ever do any time-travelling during some of your missions?"

All – No

Hellboy- Thank god, I have a feeling if we went back in time we'd be dealing with the Nazi's father made enemy of.

Johann – Zat could be quite ze dangerous predicament

Hellboy- hey she's talking to me, Liz and Abe here…

Abe- I think time-travelling can be quite a difficult thing to get right if attempted, it would also feel unusual going into a past I never knew, and seeing a possibility of my future.

Liz- I agree, I wouldn't want to see my past repeat itself, neither would I want to see the predicted dangers of the future, but I think that our missions have certainly seen some unusual turns and fights.

Belle- It would be very interesting though, seeing the future, but at the same time I suppose you'd be frightened of doing something to change whats good in your future.

Abe- Fate can decide a lot, but it is our own choices which can be equally as important…

Angel- Okay here is the next question for the same three characters -

"2.) What was the most difficult ghost u had to deal with (not including Johann, lol)."

Hellboy- alright I demand to know why we can't use Johann *smirking*

Manning- I'll tell ya in this job ghosts are probably the last thing to worry about.

Abe- we've dealt with very little in that side of the paranormal, the worst we've seen is lost spirits which are very difficult to face as they can often turn the areas you are in to reflect their misery. It's hard to recognise what exactly you can do to make it cease.

Liz- well I've never seen any ghosts whilst working with the FBI, but then again Red and Blue worked with the bureau for a long time before I completely joined.

Hellboy- I still reckon those warrior spirits in China were the worst, I mean how are you supposed to get a good shot when they keep moving from place to place?

Abe- evasive manoeuvring Red…

Hellboy- yeah well I soon showed them the meaning of the afterlife…

Angel- I don't think anyone doubts that Hellboy :) and here is the final question for Liz, Hellboy and Abe

"3.) "I Dream of Jeannie" is my fave oldies TV show. Did you guys ever have to deal with genies, & if u did, did they come out of bottles or lamps?"

Hellboy- unless I was drunk at the time no we didn't

Abe- not that I can recall no, I think some things are just that…mystical

Belle- I wouldn't believe that about everything though…not where we're concerned hehe…

Angel- neither would I lol, fantasy has too many possibilities as most of my readers would agree. Okay now onto the next question…

"Red: What's w/ the dozens of TVs in your room? Is that some sort of collection? Is your hobby collecting TVs from every decade? I don't know about u, but watching that many of them at once would make me dizzy :P"

Hellboy- I used to have them on different channels…when I was cut off from the human world I tried to see as much of it as I could…that and Liz…I missed her so much that anything I could find about her on TV I watched. I didn't want to miss a second. That's why I had all the TV's.

Liz- Though now we simply have one big widescreen TV.

Hellboy- you know it babe. Though now I don't need high definition just to see you…

Liz-*smiling as he puts his arm around her*

Angel- Aww, that's sweet in a strange sort of way…okay onto the next question…

"Liz: do you plan on growing your hair out in the near future? Or are u waiting for the kids to grow a little older before doing so? (I hear some moms keep their hair short b/c they don't want their little babies grabbing & pulling on it)."

Liz- I actually prefer my short hairstyle. I guess when it was long I just didn't know what to do with myself regarding my life let alone my appearance, so getting my hair restyled almost helped me break out of that. I think my hair would look good at a longer length if I kept it in a particular style…but as well as that we're unsure if the children will have the possibility of trying to singe my hair as of yet.

Belle- in light curls at the front with the rest straightened would be very suited to you.

Dale- Sometimes I wonder how you work with the FBI on these missions when your just so…feminine and gentle.

Hellboy- take it from me pal never underestimate women, especially when they control fire, water and ice.

Liz and Belle exchange a smile

Belle- then again I don't think anyone ever really could expect me to be violent.

Abe- your certainly not violent, you're very delicate and gentle natured. I don't think anyone could ever say that. You're simply strong in your abilities.

Liz- very good way of putting it.

Hellboy- yeah at least she won't encase you in ice…

Belle- that was a different matter entirely…and besides you did worse to Fentran…

Abe- I don't think Belle would intentionally cover one of us in ice.

Hellboy- nah and of course, he wouldn't have been walking straight if I had my way…

Angel- yes, or a part in this fanfic probably. Okay so now onto the next question which is for Belle.

"Belle: What is your favourite fairy-tale?"

Belle- quite possibly sleeping beauty. As I've said before I loved the romance between Aurora and her prince, and just how they were destined to be together in the end. *glances towards Abe*

Angel- you really do have to love fairytales, they have such an innocence about them.

Hellboy- I can't say I ever really noticed I was more about action films.

Abe- it's interesting how love and destiny is portrayed through the story of a fairytale.

Angel- Though it is quite a sweet thing to watch blossom wouldn't you agree?

Abe- very much so yes…

Angel- okay so this next question is for you actually Abe…and our final from "LadyAquanine73551"

"Abe: If you could go to a tropical island with Belle, which one would u take her to?"

Abe- wherever she would like to go, I am happy just to be with her wherever we go. But I suppose if I were to choose it would be quite possibly Queensland, as it is a beautiful area, and it has a lot of open water there…the beaches and culture there just seem so beautiful, so I think that would be where I would take her.

Belle- how wonderfully romantic…walking along the beaches at night in the simple starlight…it sounds so perfect…

Hellboy- looks like you know where you'll be taking her on holiday then Abe old buddy *grinning*. Then we can really catch up when you get back…

Liz- I dread to think what you'd be asking…

Abe- yes the thought had crossed his mind.

Angel- I don't think I need to ask to get the idea…

Belle- nor I read his mind…

Abe- probably for the best my dear…

Hellboy- hey I never asked you too.

Angel- *laughing* I don't believe you ever have done. Okay now onto our next reviewer "Kiimm" who has some…interesting questions tonight. The first being for Abe…

"Abe-Have you ever had feelings for Liz stronger than friends feeling? ;)"

Abe- no I can't say I ever have…my relationship with Liz is like a brother to a sister, I care about her as she does about me, it's purely a friendship that will always remain strong I'm certain..

Angel- okay and now one for Belle…

"Belle-Who was your last relationship with and how long did it last?"

Belle- well Abe is my first proper relationship…but I guess before Abe the only person I came to see as someone I could potentially date was Dale…we did like each other for quite a fair amount of time. But we never properly dated in the end.

Dale- no…that was erm…an interesting time when we liked each other, the amount of times I saw you very late at night without your parents knowing.

Belle- *smiling* yes I remember

Hellboy- discreet eh?

Everyone- *laughing*

Belle- definitely

Angel- and finally onto our last reviewer of the night "Angel Protectress"

"Red, can I name her Fluffy? My pretty blue Fluffy kitty... Yes I know I'm a bit strange..."

Hellboy- after some of the cat names I've heard in this and recent chapters nothing could make me think Fluffy is strange…in fact I'm sure we had that one already…

Abe- yes earlier in the questions Red…

Hellboy- I knew that…

Angel- and here is her question tonight…

"This one is for everyone... When you were kids what did you wanna be?"

Hellboy- seen as you're the youngest Belle I'll let you take this one first…

Belle- oh thankyou *laughing* well when I was little I used to want to be a princess as most little girls do…then I wanted to be a dancer for a while…so for me it was all very elegant when I thought about what I wanted to be.

Hellboy- a princess? That one figures…I know who it is if Aurora gets ideas like that now…

Abe- it will be an interesting circumstance to find yourself under Red…

Hellboy- yes though I'm sure you'll have that problem one day brother Blue

Abe- *turns a slightly darker shade of blue* well…possibly yes I mean…

Belle- well if that moment comes I'll be quite happy; to bring a daughter up loving fairytales and magic would be so perfect.

Liz- yeah when I was a little girl I just wanted to help people, because I remember my father always encouraged that something could always be put right by helping others. So I guess I learnt it from him…to begin with I wanted to be a vet because I remembered loving the zoos and I was always told that in being a vet I could spend a lot of time with animals. But now I don't think I could manage having to put animals down…it's bad enough that I've destroyed lives before, I couldn't bring myself to do anything like it involving innocent animals or people…

Abe- it's a difficulty to decide whether it's good or bad, because not everyone can see into the eyes of an animal and know if they could possibly be ready to lose their lives.

Belle- the thought of having that to do would scare me; I think I'd be too unnerved to do anything like it.

Angel- Mm I'd be no better, okay Abe?

Abe- it's not a question I can really answer considering my past, but when I was brought to the bureau and saved by Professor Broom and Hellboy, helping with the FBI was part of my gratitude…for they saved my life, and so I was glad to help in any way I could.

Hellboy- yeah till the FBI got to be even more arrogant and self-centred, then we quit.

Belle- well supposedly…

Hellboy- hey I say we have, and I think all of us made that pretty clear *grinning*

Manning- he thinks it's so easy when he's government funded.

Abe- I believe that was the BPRD not us

Hellboy- yeah and besides pal, I can do what I like, and I don't think you're really big enough to be telling me what to do.

Angel- okay well before another argument starts here even though Manning's only just returned that's the end of our chapter. So thankyou for reading, keep the questions coming as I can't update without them…and if there's any questions you want to see answered please ask them! As we will answer every question asked, whether it be on the relationships of Hellboy and Liz or Abe and Belle, questions to supporting characters, or to me about the fanfic's or anything, just review and ask! Thankyou all for reading and to my "life and love a new beginning" reviewers I'll be updating soon. Thankyou in advance and goodnight! Any closing words guys?

Belle- just goodnight hehe

Abe- Yes goodnight…

Hellboy- yeah, any of you who want to really know my opinions of other characters let me know and kittens are still on offer…and actually the love questions for Abe and Belle have been quite good to hear.

Angel- that wasn't what I had in mind Red lol

Hellboy- you gotta admit it's a good topic though.

Belle- Oh dear…it's like us saying that about you and Liz…

Hellboy- well…

Liz- Oh no…we're not going there, and if the reviewers do you can answer them Red.

Abe- are you sure it's wise Liz?

Liz- actually…

Hellboy- *grinning* well I've done my bit…goodnight guys…and girls before anyone says anything.

Liz- Goodnight.

Dale- yeah goodnight everyone.

The group start to leave, Belle leaving with Abe, Hellboy and Liz, whilst Manning is murmuring incoherently about Hellboy when Red leans back in.

Hellboy- hey…I heard that.


So please review :) I hope you all enjoyed the latest chapter and once I have enough questions of course I shall update.

I hope to have it ready in the week as usual but of course the reviews and questions all depend on that.

Thankyou too all my reviewers who constantly have questions to ask and make the fanfic as good as it is and give the topics that the characters discuss. Including "LadyAquanine73551," "Kiimm," "Silverrain1312," "Forever'nAlways," "Angel Protectress," "Stormychild95," "Fifth-Generation-B-Baby," and everyone else whose reviewed thankyou very much!
