Me: Someone said they'd like to see where this fic goes! -happy face-

Cousin: Well, finish it.

Me: But... I'm not that familiar with the Hellboy universe...

Cousin: So?

Me: You know how frikkin insane people get when you get shit wrong in fics!

Cousin: That's what makes fanfiction awesome! If they don't like it they can suck your dick!

Me: But... I don't have a dick...

Cousin: Then they can suck mine. Let's go. Write it.

Me: B-but... If it sucks... I'm kinda nervous about posting anything else...

Cousin: I will buy you that awesome zombie prop you want for Halloween...

Me: For real?

Cousin : -nod-

Me: -shifty eyes then sighs- Okay, I will try...

Note: And that is why this fanfic probably isn't going to amount to anything... I apologize in advance... Even though I do have an idea for the next chapter... Not sure how it will work out but... Be gentle, please!

Liz watched Mika after she put on a light sundress she had given her. She put the metal cuffs around her ankles and stood up.

"Let's get you something to eat." She said and started walking out of the room. Mika didn't follow at first until she turned and saw Abe motion gently, silently telling her it was okay, "What do you like? I'm pretty sure we have everything."

"Um... Fish and fruit?" She said but silently thought, 'Sometimes people...'

The dark haired woman took her to a kitchen area that was surprisingly large. She opened what looked like a freezer and after a moment of looking, she pulled out a rather big bag, "Red likes crab every now and then. I know he won't mind if you have some."

Thirty minutes later after the two ate, Mika sat and pulled at her hair nervously, "T-thank you. I wasn't sure what kind of place this was. John Myers said he wanted to help me but the others were a bit rough. Then the Abe guy was there, he was so nice... I just have trust issues with new people."

"And that is understandable. I used to have trust issues here too until Red talked to me. Abe, as well. He's like a brother to me." She smiled, "He's a good guy, always there when you need a shoulder to lean on. The man who raised Red passed a while back, he was very nice. I wish you could have met him, too."

Liz told Mika about the organization and what would possibly be expected of her and it seemed rather exciting to the mermaid.

"Everyone here puts on a hard, badass face but once you get to know them they are nice people. What abilities do you have?"

Mika seemed hesitant again. Noticing her hesitation, Liz held up a hand with flames forming around it before they disappeared, "I tend to start fires... Not always proud of it, either."

She looked at Mika and encouraged her with a smile, "I sing, I can control water. I am connected to the sea and the life within. A lot of land-walkers called me a vampire because of my fangs."

"Landwalkers?"

"Humans."

"Oh, makes sense. Did you know any humans?"

"Only a group that dedicates themselves to helping the ocean, they kept my secret. Can I go back to the water now?"

"Uh, yeah. Sure."

...

Another day passed and Abe was sitting quietly with a book in his hand, a CD player next to him. Piano music filled the area and he felt relaxed after an annoying mission. But he refused to even think about the event now that it was over with.

"This music is beautiful, relaxing." Mika had walked into the room.

Abe didn't take his eyes off the book in his hands, "It is, very soothing after a day like today. I hate subways, you'd think the creatures of the night would choose a place that would be more... Hmm... Quieter or something- AH!"

He screamed when he turned to see Mika standing behind him, naked with her hair still wet from the tank.

"M-Mika!" He covered his eyes with one hand, "Forgive me! What... What are you... Why are you naked?"

"What? I just got out of the water. Should I go back?" She asked, confusion in her blue eyes.

"Damn, Abe!"

Great, Red just had to walk in now of all times.

"Didn't take you for that kind of guy!" He smirked, leaning out of the door, "Liz! Check this out! Blue is turning red!"

"Oh, dear..." Abe muttered.

Liz ran in and threw a hand over her mouth, "Mika! Why are you naked?!"

"I just stepped out of the water...?" She asked, turning her head to the side.

"Mika, you can't do that here." Liz was trying not to laugh at Abe and Mika both.

"You'll give the guys here a heart attack." Hellboy laughed.

Liz was not amused, "Red, they've seen just about everything from working here."

"Put a naked woman in front of anyone and see what happens. It turns into a riot."

She shook her head and looked at Mika, "Come on, I have some more clothes you might wear. There is a lot you need to learn about being around people."

"My diving group I helped save sea life with was used to it. I thought all people were that way."

"Not everyone here is mature." Liz took Mika's hand and took off her trench coat to place it around the mermaid, hiding her body then led her out of the room.

Red looked at Blue and a smile formed on his face as he lit his cigar.

"Don't you say a word."

"Me? I'm not saying a damn thing." Red laughed, "I don't know which one of you just made my night even better with this little incident."

After that it was silent, only soft piano music could be heard throughout the area.
