"Is she alive?" Liz asked, upon seeing the unconsious Megan.
"Yeah, just fainted." Hellboy said. He put her on a table. Her arm hung limp off the side. Not without Liz noticing. She held it and ran a finger along the mark the Suldru left. Abe saw what she was looking at and turned to the folders of past Suldru victims.
"How'd she get this?" she asked
"Sully wrapped that tongue of his around her arm." Hellboy said, sitting down and lighting a new cigar.
"Abe?" Liz asked
"It's a match." Abe said, holding up pictures of the dead girls' arms. Looking from the pictures to Megan's arm, they were exactly alike.
"Like marking his territory." Hellboy said. "What can kill him?"
"He said, 'Only when what I adore turns like they did can I be killed'." Liz said
"A riddle, just what we need." Hellboy moaned
"Please be quiet." Abe said. "She has gone through a traumatic moment. She needs to rest in peace, if only for a short moment."
White. Megan awoke to the sight of white. She blinked when she opened her eyes. There was the beeping and humming of machines next to her. Her awareness increased as she pushed herself to look at her surroundings, as did her fear when she realized she was in a place she didn't know. She was in a clean silver and white room. There was a fogged glass window to her left, blurred figures walking past it without looking in at the sole occupant. She was wearing all of her clothes while lying down on what looked like a hospital bed. Small sensors were stuck to her head and wrist.
Now Megan was smart. She passed high school and college. Unfortunately, she does overreact a few times under certain circumstances. This was one of them. Nobody was in the room with her. No security cameras were watching her, none were in the room, too. The sensors were ripped off, causing her to yelp in surprise. She pushed herself off the bed. She nearly fell, but suddenly grabbed the bed for balance. Her arm, which she now noticed, was bandaged. Megan looked at it for a moment and then went over to the door to her room. It was clear glass. Every time a person in a black suit walked by, she quickly moved away.
"Where am I, MIB headquarters?" she asked herself. She pushed the door open and looked up and down the hall. It was empty. She walked out and ran left. She heard feet and quickly spun around to run right. At the fork, she took a right, still running. She paused to catch her breath in a large doorway. After last night, she couldn't keep running as much. When she heard feet coming, the door was pushed and closed quickly behind Megan before anybody could see her. She let out a breath before looking around her.
"Whoa." she said
"It's good to see you up and roaming." Came a voice, Megan spun around, surprised by Abe.
"Wah! Fish man!" she held, her arms held akimbo.
"Megan it's me. Abraham Sapien." Abe said calmly.
"Abraham... Abe... Oh," Megan lowered her arms and took in a few shaky breaths before calming down, "Everything's... so... It really happened, didn't it?"
"I'm afraid so." Abe nodded
