PEaCE

Feels Like Home, My Beautiful Rescue. (Chantal Kreviazuk)(This Providence)

The alarm clock was beeping obnoxiously on the table next to the bed I was occupying.

I grunted as I lifted my body up enough for my mind to register the time as I slammed the off button down. "8:00…"

I can't remember the last time I had woken up so early, and I wished for sleep to reclaim me.

Falling back into the comfort of the bed, I could feel my mind drifting back into sleep when a gentle tapping on the door made me jump.

"Ahh!" I yelled briefly as I fell promptly off the bed in a tangle of sheets.

I heard the door open and some one rushing towards me. "Nash are you alright?" The soft voice of Abraham Sapien called as he helped untangle me from the mass of sheets.

"Uh, yeah…I…fell…" I managed, mental slapping my self for my stupidity. "I thought vampires where supposed to be graceful…guess I'm the exception…"

He laughed lightly as he helped me up. My heart skipped a beat as his hands held mine.

I looked up at him to see him smiling down at me. "You have absolutely gorgeous eyes… you know" He whispered.

I looked down in fear that I might be blushing, though not quite sure if that was even possible "Their not as entrancing as yours…" I whispered absent mindedly. "Oh, I mean like their…very…um…blue?"

He laughed at this. "Yes, I guess they are…quite blue…"

I looked back up at him but was distracted by a shadow in the door way.

Sure enough…it was Hellboy.

Abe followed my gaze and jumped slightly releasing my hands and holding his behind his back.

"Red!" He said startled. "What are you doing here!?"

Red laughed loudly. "Please tell me your not trying to romance poor Nash…"

Abe's face turned various shades of blue. "Red…it is very immature of you to suggest that I would…"

"Me immature! Blue your tripping over her like a school boy for a hot teacher…" He winked at me and turned back to Abe. "We'll talk later…"

He left whistling to him self and leaving me and Abe in embarrassed silence. But I was not interested in Abe so the whole thing was ridiculous.

Oh, God who am I kidding…I'm falling head over heels for the man…it seems he's the teacher and I'm the giddy school girl, the hormonal teenager who was 'discovering things'…great, I'm becoming the thing I loathe. But I mean, Really I've know him less then a day…

"Well…um…Nash," Abe stuttered embarrassed breaking through my thoughts. "Manning wants you to meet him in the training level at ten, he sent me up here to tell you and um…bring you to get some breakfast, though I guess I got a bit side tracked…" He trailed off. I nodded and the silence reined again.

"So um…where is breakfast?" I asked desperately breaking the horrid stillness.

He cocked his head and seemed to come out of his thoughts. "Oh, of coarse I'll show you…"

He took my hand in his and lead me down the stair case into the library, past his tank, and down two levels. Human agents staring oddly at us as we walked hand in hand.

We walked through a group of double doors and into a small cafeteria of sorts. I sat down at a table near the door and crossed my legs underneath my self in the chair, yawning loudly.

"I'll get us something to eat, just relax and get comfortable…" Abe said softly smiling down at me.

I nodded and laid my head down on the table closing my eyes. "Well maybe not that comfortable…" He laughed walking off.

I kept my eyes closed in a peaceful bliss; at least on the outside, but inside I was waging a war on my feelings, I remained this way until an odd smell captured my senses making me look up.

Abe was seated across from me with a large tray in front of him. On which there was pancakes, a glass of thick red liquid , and a bowl of what looked like green eggs.

"What's with the eggs?" I asked curiously.

He looked from me to the eggs and seemed to waver in colour again. "Um, there rotten eggs…I'm quite fond of them…"

I nodded. "That's cool…" I say smiling at him and talking a drink of the bright red liquid.

He cocked his head. "Really?"

I nodded again. "Yeah, I think its cool that you eat rotten eggs…its unusual…it makes you unique…" I stated gulping down more of the sweet crimson liquid. "Man, what kinda juice is this its amazing!"

He laughed slightly. "Nash, its blood…"

I promptly stopped drinking. "Really…." I said slowly before resuming my drinking again. "Well…tastes good."

He laughed and popped one of the eggs in his mouth.

I devoured the pancakes and downed the blood before he was even half way through with his eggs.

"So Abraham…"I started casually. "Tell me more about your self…I find you an absolutely captivating person."

He cocked his head slightly and smiled gently. "Well I am a fully qualified doctor, a Pilot, and Occult Paranormal expert."

I stared at him. "Um…wow…how did you learn all those things?"

He shrugged. "Four books everyday, for thirty years, and a practice… it does one good."

I rested my head in my hands and looked up at him. "Wow, the only thing I can do is move things…" I said dully.

Abe stood up and walked over, sat next to me and pulled me close to him. "That's not true, from what I can tell you have a very artistic creative soul, that is very complex and extremely hard to read…your unique, special if you will, I'm glad you're here…with me" He added softly.

I sighed. "Abe, I've never met anyone like you before…and I mean, not just because of your appearance, I mean your personality and the way you seem to actually care for me even though we just met less then 24 hours ago."

He smiled slightly and sighed. "With me, being telepathic and your capabilities, I don't believe it will take that long for us to get to know each other…later tonight in the library we can work on your telepathy skills and see if we can make a break through."

I nodded and leaned back into him. "Thanks Abe, really, you're a great guy ya know."

He stroked my hair with his hand. "Thank you Nash."

We sat at the table and talked about different missions, Professor Broom, and Abe told me about Liz Sherman, whom I would meet later today, who was Hellboy's girlfriend.

I rested the side of my face in my hand as I looked up at Abe, who was recalling the story of the last time they had faced Rasputin, and how he was badly injured by sammael.

"Excuse me, but Dr. Manning requests you both in the training rooms." A human agent dressed in an all black suit said cutting through our conversation.

"Oh dear, I completely forgot the time, tell him I apologize and we'll be there shortly." Abe said politely.

The man nodded and left. "I'm sorry Nash I didn't mean to ramble on like that…"

"Not a problem, I don't mind." I replied setting my empty plates on a iron rack. "I like hearing about the different missions and things…"

He semi smiled and led me from the room. We took a quick elevator lift down a level and stopped in front of a pair of steel doors, and I vaguely wondered how many levels made up the complex.

Abe held open one of the steel door and led me inside.

The interior was a large white room that had various entry ways to other rooms, Hellboy and a young beautiful woman were already waiting next to an impatient Manning. " Ah finally, Ms. Zander, I would like you to meet Ms. Liz Sherman, she'll be your partner in one of your training sessions today."

"Nice to meet you Liz." I said shaking her hand.

"You too, Red filled me in on your story last night, I'm really sorry for what happened to you, if you ever want to talk just find me."

"Thanks, Liz."

"Alright enough talk lets begin we're already behind schedule, we'll start you out easy Ms. Zander, this round will be hand to hand with Agent Sapien."

'Oh jeez…' I thought as my stomach fluttered and Hellboy snickered causing Liz to elbow him in the side.

I followed Abe into the center of the room and stood there waiting.

"Ok you too get on with it…" Manning said after about a minute of silence causing Red to erupt into more snickering.

"Come on Abe, show me whatcha can do…" I said trying to sound prepared.

Abe flittered dark blue before rushing at me and round house kicking me in my side, knocking me swiftly off my feet.

"Nash are you ok!?" He asked immediately after.

I jumped up and punched him strait in the stomach causing him to fly into the opposite wall.

"Damn…" Red muttered.

Abe shakily stood up. "Very good Nash…"

I hurried over to him. "Abe, I'm sorry, I didn't think…"

He laughed lightly. "I'm fine…don't worry Nash."

"Ok, Ms. Zander that was very good, now lets go to Liz."

Liz looked up at him. "Are you sure, I really don't think this is a good idea…"

"Ms. Sherman its fine, you wont hurt her…now begin."

Liz moved towards me as fire suddenly engulfed her.

She hesitantly shot a blast at me. I drew my power and manipulated the fire back at her catching her off guard and she fell back on the floor as the flames gradually faded around her.

"Liz are you alright…" I asked helping her up.

"Yeah, fine…that's one unique talent you have, I have to say I wasn't expecting that…" She said rubbing her head.

Manning nodded and wrote a couple notes on his board before looking back at me. "You have to be prepared for anything Ms. Sherman," Manning stated looking from her to me and then towards Hellboy. "Very good, honestly I thought this would last longer. But anyway lets try you against Hellboy."

I locked eyes with the large demon. "Don't worry I'll try an go easy on ya." He laughed walking out into the center floor.

Suddenly he lunged at me hitting me square in the face with the right hand of doom.

The impact send me falling back as Abe yelled. "Red! What did you do!"

I jumped up and cracked my neck. "Yeah Red, what DID you do…that cant be the best you've got…"

He grinned and cocked his head. "A tough one, eh." He threw a punch at me again, which I easily dodged.

I 'ran' behind him and jump kicked him down, throwing him face first into the floor.

"Good one Nash!" Liz called.

I gave her and Abe a thumbs up as Red grabbed my shirt and threw me into the side wall.

Standing up I taunted Red more, honesty feeling no pain. "Aw…Red, really? I though out of all people you would have more than that! I should just forfeit, I'm obviously to much for you…"

He rushed up hitting me in the stomach with his stone hand. I yawned.

"I think some one missed out on their dunkin doughnuts today, cause you kin'T do it!" I laughed parodying the commercial that always said 'You Kin Do it.'

"Damn Kid…" He mumbled as I jump kicked him in the stomach causing him to fall back.

He groaned and stood up only to have me punch him straight in the face as he grinned. "We're to evenly matched…which sucks…"

Manning clapped. "Very good, you two…your all dismissed…"

"Good job kid…" He said pulling a cigar out of his pocket.

"You too Red."

Liz walked next to Hellboy grinning. "She beat ya…"

Red turned and looked down. "No…if anything we tied."

She rolled her eyes. "You won Nash…good job."

"Thanks…" I said eyes wandering to Abe as he walked nearer.

Liz looked from me to Abe smiling lightly.

"That was brilliant Nash," Abe said smiling. "Though I wish Red wouldn't have jumped in and hit you like that…"

He took the cigar momentarily out of his mouth blowing out the smoke. "Hey, monsters don't 'go easy' blue, better she takes it like it is then expects every fight to be easy…"

Abe glared at him not saying anything. "Well Nash would you like to go work on your telepathy, or…"

"That'd be nice."

Liz and Red exchanged grinning expressions. "Yeah, and uh, Blue?"

Abe looked at him with a look that said, red if you say one stupid smart ass comment I will throw something at you.

"I wanna talk to today, at lunch…" Red said winking. "You'll thank me…"

"Yes…I'm sure," He breathed. "Come on Nash."

He lead me back to the Library, and sat me down on a secluded black sofa in the far corner of the room.

"Ok, well first try reading me. I need to see what you mean when you said it hurts." He said holding out his hand.

I eyed it. "But I don't wanna hurt you Abe."

He look my hand and held it flat against his palm. "Its ok, I need to see what it feels like."

I nodded warily and dove into his mind. Thoughts, Dreams, and Events whirled into my mind expanding it and I could see myself, as he saw me, hear his thoughts about me, see his dreams…about me…? Beautiful, Angel, Perfection. '….Could never feel the same for something like me…..' Desire, Hope, Love? I pulled out quickly and fell against the black leather breathing heavily. Abe laid next to me, membranes closed over his eyes, as he breathed deep, a look of pain on his face.

"Abe I'm sorry…" I whispered.

His eyes flashed open and he looked at me. "No, no I'm fine…it just…" He swallowed. "What exactly did you see…"

'….Could never feel the same for something like me…..' His voice whispered though my mind.

"Not…much…" I said hesitantly.

He threw his head back into the back of the sofa. "Your different than anyone I've ever met Nash…your strong…and intelligent beyond your years." He lowered is voice to a whisper. "So beautiful…"

My heart rate increased. "Abe… exactly what do you think of me…"

His body flittered dark blue. "I think of you as someone I could never replace…someone who has, in such a sort period of time, stolen my heart fully and completely. Yet, what could I possibly ever give you…"

I sat up and started at him. "What can't you give me…Abe you think of your self to badly. You know even though my family's gone and my heart aches, it hurts to think that I might never have gotten to come here and meet you. You're the person I believe I need more than any one right now, and you make me feel like truly for the first time I'm where I belong…like this is home."

He sat up and looked over at me. "Nash…I'm a freak, you don't have to be condemned here like Red and I…"

I stood up and looked down at him. "Dear God Abraham! Your not a freak! And what the hell are you talking about condemned?! I thought that you'd be happy that I felt the same why about you that I saw you did about me!" I shot loudly.

His eyes widened and he stood up just as I stormed off to my room leaving him alone, concerned, and confused.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Upstairs I slammed the bedroom door and fell face first onto the bed. I didn't understand why he was being like this.

'I felt the same way he did, didn't I? What did he mean by condemned, doesn't he know that none of that matters, I mean I liked him for him. He only met me not even a day ago and he acts as though we're old friends, he's so unique and special, I just don't understand why he doesn't see that.'

I breathed deep into the pillow, eyes closed mind racing with thoughts that where beginning to give me a headache.

The feeling like my head was over worked with too much information and just ready to burst. I laid on the bed, head buried in the pillow, until sleep gradually over took me.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

'tap, tap, tap'

My eyes flickered open, head still buried in the pillow. I sighed and whipped my mouth on my sleeve. 'tap, tap, tap'

"Nash its Liz, are you ok?"

I looked towards the door and slid out of bed over to it. "Yeah I'm fine…" I said opening the door to let her in.

"You missed lunch and dinner, so I thought you might like some food." She held up a large sandwich and a glass of blood.

I gratefully took the food items. "Thanks Liz," I said. "Would you like to come in and talk?"

She smiled and nodded. "Yeah sure."

She walked in and sat on the edge of the bed as I closed and locked the door.

"Abe told us you're mad at him." She started. "Red and him had a long talk…"

I looked down. "Oh…" Was all I could think to say.

"Nash I know you both feel something about each other, I can see it in the way you look at each other."

When I failed to say anything Liz continued. "Abe's never felt romantically for anyone, he's not as ambitious as Red is." She explained. "But he's sincere and honest, and probably one of the sweetest guys in the world."

I finally looked up at her and found words. "Your right, but I don't understand some of the things he said, like he told me that he was a freak, and that I didn't have to be condemned here like him and Red…and that he couldn't give me anything…"

Liz nodded understandingly. "That's how Abe is, he's only thinking of what's best for you, Red and him cant go out in public because of obvious reasons and the fact that they 'don't exist', he just doesn't want to hold you back, and he thinks that if anything happened between you two that you'll be stuck in here your whole life."

I nodded. "But what did he mean by can give me anything?"

"He thinks that he can't give you the things that a normal man could…"

I took a sip of the blood and sighed. "But that's ridicules doesn't he know that doesn't matter…"

"Men are like that, even psychic ones, they can be blind and unaware of such obvious things," She laughed slightly putting her hand on my shoulder.

"He'll come around, you'll see."

I smiled slightly. "Thanks Liz," I raised the sandwich slightly. "For everything."

She smiled back at me. "Not a problem Nash, I know how difficult it can be here at first…"

Liz explained to me how she had lost control as a child and destroyed an entire city block, killing everyone including her parents and brother.

I couldn't help but feeling a sort of connection, Liz told me she still felt disconnected and guilty about it.

"They never told me what had happened when I was brought here, I blacked out and couldn't remember," She sighed. "Everyone here was even scared of me, but one day Red came to see me and," She smiled. "He told me he wasn't scared of me and that everything would be ok. He did the same with Abe when they wanted to dissect him."

"What?" I asked confused.

"Well when they first found Abe, he was in suspended animation," She explained.

I nodded. "Yeah he told me, but why would anyone want to dissect him?"

"Well, the scientists at the Bureau wanted to in order to further their 'studies." She continued. "But red put and end to it, and they've been like brothers ever since."

"Reds a great guy, your lucky to have him you know." I said.

"I know," She said smiling. "Abes a great guy to, you know."

I laughed. "Yeah, yeah, I know."

"He'll come around I bet you by tomorrow night you two will be together."

I raised my eyebrow and grinned. "And perchance what are we wagering?"

She thought a moment and then grinned deviously. "Ok if you are together by tomorrow night then I win, and if not you win. Now the loser must," She grinned if possibly more deviously. "Come on to Manning."

"Wait, hold up? Like hit on him?" I asked.

She laughed. "Yep, jokingly of coarse but, he doesn't have to know that…"

I matched her grin with a devious one of my own. "Me thinks we have a bet."

We shook hands and the bet was on.

"I cant wait to see what happens tomorrow." She said smiling still. "I better get back to Red, find out what he told Abe."

I laughed and rolled my eyes. "Yeah, well see Liz."

She laughed. "Well I'll see you tomorrow Nash. You gunna be at breakfast?"

I nodded. "Yeah I'll meet you there." I said. "And thanks again Liz."

"No problem. Night Nash."

I smiled finishing off the rest of my sandwich. "Night Liz."

She laughed and shut the door leaving me thinking about what might happen tomorrow and the prospect of having to come on to Manning.

Either way tomorrow promised to be an interesting date. I downed the last of the blood and fell back into the bed. I closed my eyes, not really asleep, not really awake, but in-between in a blissful world of make believe.

Ok so some tention between Abe and Nash this time around. But Abes just doing in here intrest and because he really doesnt have a clue XD But thats what makes him so endearing!!

Liz and Nash got some bonding tyme and whos gonna have to put the moves on Manning =P lol Message and Rate. PEaCE
