Chapter 10
Normal Life Meets Tk
Tk Carefully climbed out of the ventilation shaft to Hellboy's room, thankful she could change shape at will, and ran back to the professor's library. Irma was there with Liz and Marcy sat next to Abe's tank turning the pages for him and reading her own book, the professor was there as well looking over some old documents.
"And just what are you up to, hmm?" The professor asked not even looking up from his work.
"Nothing. Oh and if anyone asks, I was here the whole time." Tk replied, taking a small remote from her pocket and pressing a button.
"Oh dear." Abe says just before-
"WHAT THE HELL!"
Everyone looks to Tk who's rolling on the ground laughing. Thundering footsteps are heard coming towards them.
"Time to go." Tk said transforming into a tiny gray bird and flying up into a darker part of the library and tucking herself away amongst the various objects, just as Hellboy came thundering in.
"Get your feathery ass down here bird!" Hellboy yelled.
"Why?" Tk asked from her safe perch as a bird. "As far as I can see you got what was comin' to ya, after what you did yesterday!"
"After what happened yesterday?" The professor asked.
"It was just a joke pop." Hellboy said.
"HOLDING ME UPSIDE DOWN WHILE I'M A BIRD AND HOLDING ME OVER YOUR CATS IS NOT A JOKE YOU BUTT MONKEY!" Tk screeched perching on Liz's head.
"You did what?" Liz said in outrage. "You tried to feed her to your cats?"
-2 days later-
"Big butt." a blue and green Macaw squawked. "You got a big fat butt."
"Shut your beak bird." Hellboy growled.
"Fat ass." the macaw squawked loudly, Liz trying to hide her amusement, snorted into her coffee.
"That's it!" Hellboy said getting up and reaching out for the bird with his right stone hand.
"Touch my bird and you'll wake up without a tail!" Tk yelled from the tank room where she was preparing for her first underwater session with Abe. "Sit with Liz bird, Liz there should be a piece of old canvas cloth and an apple in my pack, put bird on the cloth and give him the apple, that should keep him quiet, and a beer for big butt, that'll shut him up, for a minute."
Tk gets in the tank and transforms.
-two weeks later-
"Look out!" Tk cried hurling a knife straight into the monsters head, killing it. Hellboy gets up, storms over to Tk, grabs her roughly by the arm and drags her back to the truck.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Hellboy bellowed, shaking Tk.
"You're hurting me!" Tk whimpered trying to pull her arm free.
"You could have killed yourself! When I say stay put I mean STAY PUT!" Hellboy yelled.
"I was trying to help." Tk said.
"Help? You're just a damn kid! You can't help! Plus I don't need your help!" Hellboy replied.
"Red..." Liz started.
"Stay out of this Liz. This is between me and her." Hellboy said.
"You know what? The next time a monster is about to kill your sorry red ass, I'LL LET IT!" Tk yelled in anger, in one quick movement Hellboy's left hand made contact with Tk's cheek.
"RED!" Liz yelled in horror. Tk's eyes welled up with tears as she removed her locater tossed it to an agent, picked up her small pack and ran. Hellboy's about to follow her but he's held back.
"You've done enough Red." Liz said. Her tone accusing, as she and a few other agents went after Tk.
Tk stopped and took her cell out and dialed.
/ "Agent Clay here."/
"C ..Clay?" Tk stammered.
/ "Tk, is that you? What's wrong?"/
"Red." Tk sobbed.
/ "Red, is he alright?"/
"He hit me." Tk sobbed even harder.
/ "What! Where are you?"/
"5th and Argon. Can you come get me?" Tk asked.
/ "I'm on my way kid-o. just sit tight."/
-ten minutes later-
"Thanks Clay." Tk murmured as she climbed into the car.
"Why ..." Clay started to ask.
"I don't want to talk about it, I just want to go home." Tk whispered.
Tk went straight to her room when they arrived back at the bureau.
