Chapter Four: Personality Clashes
Disclaimer: Don't own it. Never will.Except for Cat.Unless I become very rich and famous and buy it. Which is...unlikely. To say the least.
The next morning Hellboy was sent to get Cat from her room for a talk with Professor Broom about how she was doing in her new home. Now he's standing outside her door.
Knock knock
No response.
Knock KNOCK
Nothing.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
A vast nothing happened.
"Cat!" he yelled.
"I know you're in there!"
"COME ON! ANSWER THE DAMN DOOR ALREADY!!"
"Okay, you asked for it…!" And with that Hellboy broke down the door, crashing into the room just as Cat walked out of the attached bathroom with a rush of steam. She was wearing only a towel wrapped loosely around her waist, her hair wet and plastered to her shoulders; apparently she hadjust gotten out of the shower.
Hellboy paused for a minute, unsure of how to react to his half-naked teammate. While he dithered over what to say, Cats' face gradually made the journey from shocked to furious.
"OUT!" she yelled, transferring the towel to cover her up better. Several vines came lashing from the various corners of the room, grabbing him and bodily throwing him from the room. He crashed into the wall across the hallway from her, just in time to watch a full oak tree grow—in the space of a few seconds—to cover up her doorway.
A few minutes later a hastily-dressed Cat came storming out, the tree moving to allow her passage. Her eyes were all-green again, with fangs and stripes visibly apparent. This time, however, she had grown a series of woodenspikes, maybe two inches long each,running along the backs of her arms, paired with wing-like protrusions on her back, while the striping continued all over her body in strange, twisting designs. Her arms were held akimbo.
"What…on…earth did you think you were doing!" she hissed.
"I didn't know you'd be in the shower!" protested the devil, still sprawled on the floor.
"That's why there's a door." She responded dangerously. Undisguised fury was radiating off of her.
"You weren't answering!"
"So you could have waited! Done something besides destroy my door and walk in on me!"
At this point both parties were yelling at full volume.
"You could have been listening!"
"The problems is not in me not listening but in you not waiting!"
"It is not a problem! If you had answered I wouldn't have done it!"
"Both of you stop it at once!" said a stern voice to the side of them.
Turning to look, Cat saw Professor Broom. "You're behaving like children! Cat, you're overreacting. Hellboy, you should have knocked."
Cat looked at him with poisonous fury in her eyes. "In case you haven't noticed," she spat "I am a child." And with that she stalked into her room, splitting the tree trunk in two with her passage into her room. It snapped shut sharply behind her, efficiently cutting of the conversation.
Broom gave a deep sigh. He was too old to deal with a teenager.
A/N: Sorry its short. But I did update twice in one day! It's my way of making up for the delay. Sorry about that… (cringes away).
Anyways, as always, review review review! Please!
