Disclaimer: Dont own hellsing, dont want to. If i did, where would the fun in watching it be?

Integra Wingates Hellsing was feeling somewhat angrier than usual. A man cloaked in black was standing by the door to her office. She was not at all happy with the way that this night had turned out. The man's news had been most disturbing.

"You're sure about this." She said, wanting to make absolutely sure that she had it right. The figure nodded. "You may go, then." Integra focused entirely on her cigar. She refused to believe only for a moment. She called to the random soldier passing by her door.

"Yes, Integra?" Integra looked hard at him.

"If Seras has returned, send her to my office." The soldier saluted her then walked toward the dungeon. He really hated the dungeon. It was dark and smelled like a cellar. There was blood in the air. Of course, it didn't help that the dungeons were where the Hellsing vampires lived. Then there was the occasional soldier that went down to the deep inner part of the dungeons and was never seen again. The rumor was that Alucard had been rather... hungry. The soldier was actually shaking when he reached Seras' door. Seras opened it before the soldier could even knock.

"Integra wants to see you." He said fearfully. Seras nodded. She was not in any mood for talking, but she had to obey an order. She walked toward Integra's office. Leaving the dungeon and reaching the mansion itself. It was a somewhat long route, because a solid wall seperated the wings of the building. "Seems pointless to just walk around." She said to herself. At that point she turned toward the direction in which she was pretty sure Integra's offic was. She struggled to remember one of the few actual lessons that Alucard had taught her.

"Pretend the wall isn't there, if you think it's not there, then it's not." That is what Alucard had said about this ability. When Seras had asked him how it was possible for a solid being to go through a solid wall, he had laughed that odd laugh of his. "In regards to our powers, we are not like walking dead. We are more like ghosts than anything else." Seras had in no way been reassured by this, but she had managed to get through the wall.

"Pretend it't not there, pretend it's not there..." She said to herself as she stepped toward the wall. She found in a few steps that she had actually did it. Her head was now in Integra's office.



Integra actually though that she had drifted to sleep on her desk as she saw Seras' disembodied head coming through her wall. It was followed by the rest of her body. Just like Alucard used to... Integra yawned.

"You wanted to see me, master." And calling her master, too. Integra though amusedly. Alucard must have rubbed off on her. She shook herself and sat a bit more erect on her seat.

"Yes, yes. I just heard what happened today. Not that I blame you, of course. Anderson has made it personal now. I trust that you are as angry with the Iscariot as I am." Seras nodded. "However, you are not yet powerful enough to beat Anderson in singloe combat, so until then, I am going to put you on solo. You will no longer move with the human unit." Seras was only a bit taken aback. "I do hope that Alucard taught you to use your abilities."

"Yes, master." Actually, that was not the whole truth. Her master had taught her to use many of her abilities. He had taught her to walk through walls, change to bats, maggots, and mist. She could not yet learn to use her other abilities, because she was bound by the same restraint system that Alucard was, and was only powerful enough to release the fifth and the third seal. She could not, for instance, summon her familiar, though Alucard told her that because she had his blood, her familiar would be much like his hellhound.

She shuddered at the thought of the first lesson that Alucard had given her. They had had a fight with Alexander Anderson yet again. Seras had been incapacitated by a knife in her gut. She had kneeled on the floor in pain. Alucard repelled Alexander and forced him to flee yet again, then rounded on Seras.

"I never knew you would be this weak." he had said. "I have no choice" He pulled a pair of clips for his guns out of his back pocket. "Don't worry, I will just use regular bullets. Seras had been too afraid to move as he had pointed both guns at her. "I will show you just how far your regeneration can go." Then he fired. He shot her until both of his guns clicked empty. He fired until Seras was nothing but a pile of flesh laying in an expanding pool of blood. She had felt sure that she was going to die. Then she opened her eyes. She watched her own arm re-attach to her shoulder. She watched her own blood return to her body. She raised herself into a kneeling position. The pain was incredible.

"Get up, police girl." She didn't try to get up. "Very well, again then." He reloaded his Jackal, and put another six bits of led into her. She had reassembled again. She spat blood onto the ground. "GET UP!" he shouted at her this time, and this time she had.

On the way back to her room after her meeting with Integra, she ran into walter in the hallway. "Greetings, miss Victoria." He bowed.

"Walter, I have been put on solo..."

"Understood, miss Victoria. Integra had me prepare a weapon for when she put you on solo or you became full time partners with Alucard. Come with me." Seras followed him into one of the rooms in the dungeon. "This," he said, pulling a case from under a table "Is the 'Tiger' A 38 calibar handgun, the bullets are made from pure silver, filled with blessed quicksilver. The rounds can penetrate four feet of steel." The gun was beautiful. It was blood red, and almost as large as Alucard's Jackal. Written up one side of the barrel was was 'Jesus Christ is in Heaven Now', The same inscription as the one on Alucard's Jackal. Written on the other side of the barrel was 'Heaven or Hell?'

"Perfect, Walter." Seras said, cocking the gun. She strapped the holster to her waist. She turned and walked out the door, still examining the gun.

"Just like a kid with a new toy." He said to himself, the same thing he had thought when he gave Alucard the Jackal.
