Chapter 9
John's Pov
I imagined right now it would be just getting dark outside, why I imagine that and do not know for sure is because this level of the B.P.R.D was underground so alas no windows. I had dragged Hellboy to go to our rooms to leave Abe and Liz to themselve's and of course for our last meal of the day. I watched my lover quickly work through the large bowl of Nachos as those were one of his favourites before he started on other food that filled the trolley. I picked pieces of chicken and some potato with a bowl of vegetables I had asked for while I mulled over the last two day's events. Who would have thought any of this would happen, the girl we were sent to find who was supposed to be a thief had been severely injured without even hurting anyone herself, then of course the later development of her growing ears and a tail among other things. I remembered how Manning's had assumed she had the power to teleport but Hellboy had straight away added his doubt to that, right now I was definatly agreeing with him, if she didn't want to becaught she would have used this power, especially with that gun being pointed at her. It's possible the police made a mistake about how she escaped.
"J" "Joh" "JOHN?!" I snapped out of my thoughts hearing HB's voice filter back in loudly and turned to face him apologetically "Sorry Red I was thinking". He snorts softly and offers me some more chicken "Obviously, but what were you thinking about?" He asked curiously as I shook my head to the offered food and sipped from a glass of juice. "About all that's happened the last few days, it's been hectic and almost unbelievable" I replied. He nods his head and swallows whatever food he had in his mouth before responding "It has been but now it should be calming down, Abe said he didn't sense any further changes". I nodded but didn't reply as we finished eating; afterwards we spent some time watching one of the many TV's Hellboy had in his room, the channel showing an old cartoon.
Later on we decided to head back to the library to see if Blue found anything in his research but on the way I thought it best to inform manning's of the recent events after we told him to pretty much go away earlier. Red went on ahead to the library muttering to himself about how Manning's wouldn't want to see him anyway. I was going to try to work out why when I realised he must have done something to set the man off again. I sighed softly and knocked gingerly on the door to the man's office only entering when I heard him shout for me to come in. As I walked in I noted that he was sitting at his desk reading and signing reports, he didn't give me a second look as he carried on "What do you want?" I would have frowned at his attitude had I not already been used to it so I went about updating him of the events from the last two days, explaining what happened during the street chase, swiftly adding my doubts about Brookes ability to transport herself from place to place, carried on to explain what happened to her once we brought her back and her new 'additions'. I noticed that Manning's stopped working long enough to listen after he heard of her tail, his face set in a grimace more so than usual. I was trailing off my explanation about how she was now resting again when he interrupted "Well find her a room of her own and make sure she knows this isn't a holiday resort it's a place of work. Off you go…" he nodded towards the door then carried on working, honestly the man had no heart! I shook my head and left the office without another word to head to the library, briefly thinking that he wasn't any different than the agent that shot Brooke.
Brooke's Pov
The first thought that came to mind when I woke up againwas that I was hungry and thirsty. I hadn't eaten of drank anything for about two days so that made sense and with the amount my body had gone through I wasn't surprised. The next thing that came to mind was that I couldn't hear anything in the room, not one else breathing or moving so I guessed Liz hadn't returned yet. I slowly opened my eyes, rubbing at them till they focused and realised that even though it must be morning by now, the room should be dark as there was no window's and the light's should still be off. Then why could I see the room clearly though with a strange tint almost as if with those night vision goggles you see in the movies. I sat up and started to stretch my tense muscles when I felt something move behind me, twisting my body around to quickly eye the bed I saw nothing out of the ordinary until I spotted my tail, it was moving, just a slight flicked from side to side and I watched it curiously. I easily got distracted by it, watching this new strange addition flickering around, feeling the sensation's of it and still feeling almost unconnected to it. Suddenly I heard what sounded like a large cart being pushed along the hallway outside the door, it didn't stop but it caught my attention. Perhaps someone outside the room could tell me where to find John, Liz and the others.
So up I got, keeping in mind what Abe said about me being woozy for a while but I managed to stand fine, feeling perfectly capable and that's when I noticed that getting up had knocked something to the floor. Leaning to pick up the material I realised it was a magazine, it was different seeing items in pure daylight to with this strange night vision. I gathered Liz must have left it there last night before she left.
I made my way to the door of the spacious and cosy looking room, testing the handle and finding it unlocked I relaxed slightly opening the door. The sudden brightness of the outside corridor made me start suddenly and it took a moment but this time I felt the change in my eyes as my cat's eyes vanished along with the night vision to give me normal vision again. Walking out cautiously into the hallway I saw no one, so I closed the door and quickly making a choice between left and right I turned right and started to walk down the corridor, hoping it led to the others so I could find out some answers for what was going to happen now and something to eat.
I hadn't been walking long, perhaps a couple of minutes when a door to my left opened up and a man in a suit and brown well groomed hair came out, he paused as he saw me and I suddenly remembered when I had been chased both times it was by men in suits. When I had been shot it had been by a man in a suit so the natural reaction was to panic and run away but for some reason I stayed put hoping he would not know who I was and leave me be but he seemed to remember himself and look at me warily before speaking "You are looking for Red and the others right?" I remembered hearing the name Red from when I had been with all of them before so I nodded expecting to be pointed in the right direction but what surprised me was that instead of telling me which way he smiled friendly like and said "Ok they are probably in the library I'll take you there". I didn't want to trust him at first but figured I didn't have a better option right now so I followed him hoping he didn't lead me astray.
Hellboy Pov
Somehow during the time the four had gotten back together in the library/Abe's main room to talk about the research Abe had been doing they had been drawn back into another useless debate about what else…but Hellboys hair. According to Liz it was a very important discussion, any moment now the rest of my shiny black well-kept hair might also turn grey, so the fire user said but I did not buy it for a minute, there wasn't even ONE grey hair. I swiftly declined her proposal to dye it for me and insisted that there was no such bloody grey hair. I was quickly becoming agitated, not sulky; I didn't do sulking just agitated…which sent Liz into a fit of giggles. While John was trying to smooth the conversation down there was a knock at the door before a doll haired agent walked in "Clay…what you doing down this end of the Bureau?" I asked still moody from the debate. He smiled friendly at me before he stepped in allowing room for Brooke to also come into the room looking nervous and shy. The little kitten I noticed had some of Liz's spare clothes on though they were way too big still. "I found a lost little girl in the hallway thought you might know her" he joked as he started to leave, I waved him off as did my mate before both John and Liz were at her side with kind smiles and soft voices 'women' I thought slightly amused though I guess that didn't really apply to my lover but it was close enough.
I heard John ask how the cat girl was and waited for the reply "I'm fine thank you" I heard her speak softly, she was so damned polite, Liz spoke next "How did you sleep? ok?" Brooke nodded her head and gave a smile "Yes thank you", again I was amazed at her politeness, some thief. Then I remembered that during the briefing Manning's had said she had a bag with her that was possibly stolen but she wasn't holding a bag when I found her or even when we chased her. I stored that information away to question later when she was more settled in. John and Liz brought the girl further into the room and Abe met them near the middle of the large library so he could check the kitten over, he gently placed his hand on her shoulder to obviously check her body for injury or the like and I was glad to see she didn't flinch away just waited curiously and patiently. After a moment he pulled his hand away and I was betting he would say his ever annoying 'ah' but he didn't just nodded in satisfaction and spoke "You seem very healthy now except that you could do with something to eat, what do you say Brooke?" she smiled wide and nodded her head eagerly "Yes please.". At that Blue went to the communicator on the wall and asked an agent to bring some food for her while my little lover pulled out a chair at the desk for her to sit on which she did. Liz and John both stayed close I noticed and I felt also compelled to join them, so without much mental debate I walked over and took a seat at the table a couple of chairs down as the others were already sitting at the closer chairs.
I gave her a grin as I asked "So this place is pretty weird right?" she blinked before nodding a little shyly "What is this place?" she asked and it was Abe the know it all who answered "Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence." She looked a little worried at that so John quickly stepped in "We aren't going to experiment on you or anything like that it's just a place that investigates paranormal happenings in the world and keeps the world safe." She noticeably relaxed at that before becoming interested so while we waited for her food we each supplied answers to her questions about the Bureau. When her meal arrived it was a piece of chicken covered in cheese and had a handful of chips on the side decorated with some salad. There was also a drink of juice for her and a napkin wrapped around a knife and fork. She looked at the plate surprised when it was placed in front of her "It looks and smells so nice" and I agree it did. The fire girl decided to comment here "You might want to eat up or Red will eat it for you" I glared slightly at her "I can control myself" "are you sure?" she taunted playfully "I have eaten already sparky" I retorted. A soft smile graced Brookes face at our banter but she picked up the cutlery and started to eat.
John's Pov
While the girl was eating I smiled she looked adorable in the over sides clothes but then I noticed that there was a slight movement at the back of her shirt and I looked at her curiously "Brooke?...your moving your tail". She paused her eating and blushed slightly nodding her head "Yes when I woke up it started to move". I smiled at that and realised if the shirt was not so long then we would be able to see it flickering around no doubt.
While Brooke was finishing her drink, meal already done with and barely anything left on the plate Abe decided to ask what I was already thinking "Brooke we know you have been at the police station before, they said you escaped from a locked cell. Do you mind telling us how?" he must be trying to help her trust him, rather than read her mind he would let her tell us willingly. She nodded a little, looking around and probably realising that she was among those like herself. "I stole the guard's key as he passed, he didn't even feel me take it from his belt. I let myself out when he was gone and locked the door before I left the keys on the desk and went out the back door." Everyone looked stunned for a minute before Red grinned "So much for Manning's theory of teleportation" at this Brooke looked at HB confused.
Hellboy then decided to bring up a subject I didn't think the young girl quite ready for "So it was reported that you stole a bag the other night, that true?" she looked suddenly very guilty which answered Red's question. "Don't worry you won't be in trouble we just want to know" I spoke in a soothing voice, my hand resting on her back, she nodded a bit "Yes. I dropped it though when two men in suits chased me before you all chased me. I don't know where". That explains why she wasn't found with a bag or any belongings apart from the clothes she wore obviously, she had dropped it somewhere. "What's going to happen now?" she asked apprehensively and I quickly responded before my lover could say anything that might frighten her "You can stay here with us and be safe…would you like that?" she seemed to think for a minute before she nodded "I've never met people like me before" but then her face seemed to drop "what am I? Am I not human anymore?" she looked between us searchingly causing Liz to give her hand a gently squeeze from across the table trying to be assuring as the fish man answered "I haven't found anything conclusive in my research yet but I am sure I will in time but you are partly human partly not from what I see" she seemed to accept that answer at least for now.
