Penny stood awkwardly in the middle of the B.P.R.D.'s large library. Ever since Liz had left to report her arrival to some important agent, she had been stuck in here wringing her hands. Anxiously, Penny walked over to one of the numerous bookcases to examine it contents and take her mind off the monsters outside the doors.
"Lonely Angels, Black Stars, Heart of the Hunter" Penny read the book titles aloud as her fingers ghosted along their spines, a smile flashed across her face "Black Beauty" Penny lifted her hand to pick it up when a tapping sound startled her.
Penny jerked back from the bookcase and whirled around trying to find the source of the sudden sound.
"Sorry"
Penny turned around again, who was that?
"Where are you?" Penny demanded, a confident tone in her voice despite how she was feeling.
"Behind you"
Penny turned around quickly, she frowned at what she saw, an aquarium? There was a shape in the water though. Slowly, Penny walked forwards, her eyes fighting to make the image less blurry. She stopped next to some form of book stand, and saw what was in the tank. Shock filled her, it was a man, he was slightly fish-like but a man. His skin appeared to be a light blue-green colour with darker stripes of blue-green. His large, almond shaped eyes were focused on her.
"Could you turn the pages?"
Penny nodded her head and turned the pages of the five books.
"Who and what are you?" Penny blurted out at him, Penny mentally smacked herself, what a time for her bluntness to make an appearance.
The creature, obviously, looked very taken aback but quickly answered her "Forgive me for not introducing myself sooner. I am Abraham Sapien, but most people call me Abe"
"Okay, but what are you? I go fish-like in water but this is pushing the limits"
A small sigh escaped Abe, as he tapped the glass beside a small note before he swam off. Penny sighed, that usually happened to her. She walked over to the sign to read it.
'Icthyo Sapien 14th April 1865'
"1865" Penny said frowning
"That note was found with him" Liz said startling Penny
"I've offended him" Penny stated while walking over to her "Thanks to my natural charm"
Liz frowned "There's another member of the team that's different, one I think you should meet separately from the rest. You see he isn't exactly human."
Penny gave her an odd look "Isn't exactly human?"
"He's ..Uh... a Demon"
