Chapter 12! Starting with something new this time, hope u like! Also, if you didn't catch it at the end of the last chapter, Abe and Adriana slept together! :D
(Hellboy's POV) This is only for a wee little bit, for a bit of humor.
Walking into the Library, I was surprised not to find Abe drifting in his tank, asleep.
What the hell? He always sleeps in his tank… I thought to myself.
I squeezed my way up the narrow spiral staircase to the door to his room.
I swung the door open quickly, "Abe, you in here?"
The sight that met my eyes made me laugh loudly.
Adriana grabbed the blankets and quickly covered herself while Abe yelled at me to get out, both blushing heavily.
"Red! I have not bothered you ONCE when you're with Liz, so would you please leave NOW!" He said, still being slightly polite.
Wiping tears from my eyes, I said, "I know, I know, I'm sorry, but… pfft! HA!"
"GET OUT!" Adriana said fiercely and I felt myself being pushed out of the room and the door slamming in my face.
I'd never seen the little squirt so mad!
Must've been her new power that did the door thing… I thought, squeezing back down the stairs and running to find Liz and tell her the good news.
Screeching to a halt in the kitchen, where Liz was preparing breakfast, I said, "You'll NEVER guess what I just saw!"
"Manning quitting his job?" She said hopefully.
"Sadly, no, but it's even better than that!"
"NO WAY. You walked in on Liz and Abe in BED?!" her mouth hang agape.
"How'd you guess?" I said disappointed.
"Wait, you did?!?!"
"Yeah! Isn't that hilarious?"
"I'm so happy!!!" She said spinning around, "I always knew they were perfect for each other!"
(Adriana's POV)
The door slammed behind Red and I sighed, rubbing my temples.
"He's always been that way, I'm afraid." Abe said, rubbing my bare back.
I sighed contentedly at the touch and turned to kiss him.
We lay back down in each other's arms happily.
"We should probably get up soon…" He said sadly, stroking my hair.
"You're right as usual," I smiled, "I should get to figuring out my powers anyway."
We got up and collected our clothes from the floor.
I dressed quickly and gave Abe one last kiss before running off to my room to shower.
The entire way I prayed that neither Hellboy, Liz nor Meyers would see me because Red had probably told them already.
Minutes later, I came out of the shower.
Walking out of the steamy bathroom into my room, I noticed Liz on my bed.
A devilish grin was on her face, "So… I take it you didn't sleep in here last night?"
I blushed heavily, quickly grabbing some clothes out of my drawers and heading back into the bathroom to change.
"You know you're gonna have to talk to me at some point!" Liz said through the door.
"I know! I know! Just lemme eat and such first!" I opened the door and headed off for the kitchen, Liz trailing behind me.
"Wait up! It's not fair! You're not pregnant like me!" Liz said, huffing.
I stopped dead in my tracks.
"You're pregnant?!" I said, shocked.
Liz caught up to me, "End of the first trimester. Sorry I didn't tell you… didn't want you to be going easy on me like most people."
"Wow. You need to give me the full scoop on this later." I continued for the kitchen.
Walking in, I saw Abe being interrogated by Hellboy.
Red and Liz went silent as Abe and I blushed.
I went to the fridge and grabbed a piece of bread and stuck it in the toaster.
All was silent.
Meyers walked in, "The weather's good today so Manning said it'd be ok if anyone wanted to go… did I miss something?"
Everyone busied themselves with food, not saying a word.
The toast sprang up and I jumped.
Red chuckled, "You're not afraid of jumping in front of a lion but you're afraid of the toast popping up?"
"The toast startled me! I knew that the lion was about to pounce!" I said, mock angry.
I spread some Nutella on my toast and began eating it, sitting on the counter.
Breakfast continued with small talk, everyone trying to avoid the subject we were all thinking of.
Meyers was clueless, but went along with it anyway.
LATER
Liz and I had decided that she would give a summary of what had happened at the BPRD before I'd arrived while I practiced my new power.
We headed for the training room.
I set my water on the side of the room and stretched a bit, "Ok Liz, I'm ready for the story! Ignore me, just focus on telling it please."
"Alright. Let's see… So there was this guy, Prince Nuada, who was the prince of this other world with like every sort of mythical creature possible. He wanted the other half of this broken crown that when put together would awaken the Golden Army, which is a supposedly unstoppable army made of gold clockwork-like machinery. Anyways, he wanted to wage war against the humans and all that stuff that evil guys usually want to do. His twin sister, Princess Nuala, was the exact opposite. She was kind and very helpful to us in the fight against his brother. But then her brother kidnapped her and said he would only release her in exchange for the other half of the crown and…"
I concentrated and thought of my paper wings as my power began to swirl around me.
"And?" I said impatiently.
"Well… Abe sorta had a thing for Nuala…"
I felt a small twinge of jealousy, "Ok… and?"
"So he gave Nuada the other piece and he unleashed the golden army and Red was having trouble fighting them and so Nuala stabbed herself because it would kill her brother as well as her because they were twins. So she died and Abe was depressed for a long time until you came."
I smiled, happy that I was the reason that Abe had become happy once more.
My power had formed wings as well as it could. They were similar to my old ones only with less defined edges and you could see through them.
Concentrating harder, I managed to flap them and get up in the air.
Happy with my success, I zoomed about the room.
"Hey kid, think fast!" I heard Red shout.
"Red, don't!" Abe shouted.
I turned towards him to find a large ball headed straight at my face.
Putting my arms up, I braced for impact, but it never came.
Opening my squeezed shut eyes, I found that I had subconsciously put a shield all around me.
The ball had ricochet off of the shield and right back into a laughing Hellboy's face.
I smiled smugly at Red as I landed softly on the ground.
Abe rushed towards me, "You are ok, right?" worry flashed in his beautiful blue eyes.
I kissed him lightly, "I'm fine, Abe, but I don't think Red is very happy."
We both turned to see a very annoyed Red getting yelled at by a rather mad Liz.
Chuckling, Abe took my hands and kissed me before we walked out of the training room.
"Manning said it would be ok for us to go outside today if we liked. The BPRD has about 100 acres around this building we could go to."
"Alright, let me go find a coat. Shall I meet you by the elevator?"
"Sure, see you in a bit." He let go of my hand and turned to leave but I caught him just before he turned away.
I stood on my tip-toes and kissed him deeply, my hands on his shoulders.
He smiled into the kiss and cupped my cheek.
Slowly breaking the kiss, we went our separate ways.
I skipped down the hall, much to the bewilderment of some random agents I passed.
Finding my way to the elevator from my room, I saw someone or… something peculiar.
A large scuba-suited person/thing was in the hall talking with Abe.
In the helmet where a head should have been, there was only white gas!
I walked up cautiously.
"Adriana! I'd like you to meet my good friend, Johan Krauss." Abe said, noticing me.
"I have heard much about you, Fraulein." The suit turned to look at me, it's hand outstretched.
I shook it, "I'm sorry I have not heard of you. My name is Adriana Cross."
"Vell it is good to meet you, but I must find Agent Manning as ve have some important business to discuss. Bis Abend!" (this means 'until tonight')
Abe and I got on the elevator and rode up to the surface.
Waving to the guard, we exited out the back door into the woods behind the building.
I shivered and Abe put his arm around me.
We walked in silence down a small path until we found a bench.
Sitting on it, I snuggled into his warm chest and sighed contentedly.
"Do you miss her?" I said, stroking his gloved hand in mine.
"Who?"
"Princess Nuala."
He remained silent for a minute, then spoke, "On occasion, yes… but I don't think it would've worked out, had she survived…"
"Why is that?"
"I'm not quite sure… it's just… in comparison to my relationship with you, I feel like I love you more than I ever loved Nuala…"
I smiled to myself and nuzzled closer to him, inhaling his fresh smell of dew.
He stroked my hair and kissed my forehead as we sat there together in peace.
We slowly walked back, hand in hand, and stopped just before the door.
Cupping my cheek, he leaned down and kissed me ever so gently.
I felt like I was about to melt even in the crisp and cold November air.
That's when I heard a voice from beside us.
"Well, well, well… what do we have here?" a male voice that I knew all too well said from beside me.
I immediately broke off the kiss and stared in disbelief at a man that I thought dead, "Luke?! You- Since when did- How the fuck did you find me?!"
DUN DUN DUNNNNNN! Dra-mah! Exciting eh? First reviewer to guess who luke is and/or what he's doing there gets an author chat!
