[Hellboy]

(Sorry for being away for so long. I'm not quite sure what to do with Red yet so this is just to the break the ice a bit. Everyone's welcome to join.)


After leading Magdalena back to the BPRD, Red took it upon himself to take her up to his room. The thought never occurred to him that Liz probably would hate him for that, although any indecent thoughts were absent from his mind. He was old enough to know that cheating and one-night stands with complete strangers were usually disappointing. But his room was where all the beer was.

"So yeah, this is my place." he said when he stepped through the door, throwing his arm in the air in case she needed to look around. "And these are the kids."

He looked around to see at least three dozen kittens of all sizes and colors laying on his bed, the floor, or climbing on the furniture and television. His room was a complete mess. Cat food, candy wrappers, his clothes, and other objects littered the place. He had to stomp all the way to the fridge and had some difficulty opening the door.

"Aw come on," he snapped before ripping the fridge open. "Damn thing...." he pulled out a six pack and dangled it in the air infront of him, looking back at Magdalena. "You want one?"

[Magdalena]

"KITTIES!!!"

Although her canine instincts made Magdalena want to chase the felines and probably end up eating them, the human part of her always found them adorable, especially the smaller kittens. She was blushing and giggling up a storm, fighting the urge to want to scoop them up and snuggle them. Human form or not, cats could always smell the canine scent on her and she was often covered in scratches and bitemarks by the end of the snugglefest.

"Beer?" Mal smiled and moved over to Hellboy, taking the entire six pack. "Thank you! Haven't had a drink in forever, you're my savior."

[Hellboy]

Hellboy was half expecting her to grab at least two beers, maybe three, but when she took the entire six pack, he was somewhat caught off guard. This girl didn't look like she was a big drinker. He was hoping he wasn't dealing with a lightweight. He pulled out another six pack and then walked over towards his bed, sitting down and cracking open the beer. He drank down the alcoholic and moved his hand over to a kitten, scratching the top of it's head.

"So, what brings you across the pond?" he said. "Haven't been to Rome in years. Has it gotten better?"

[Liz Sherman]

Liz thought she heard some voices around the corner after heading back to her bedroom she shared with Hellboy, she hadn't seen him practically all day except early this morning before he left, after that he disappeared. She had no idea but she figured he had a reason, her arms crossed over one another for a few more seconds until she uncrossed them, sliding her hands in the back pockets of her casual black demin jean pants. She had been thinking about a lot lately, unsure why she couldn't figure out what to do about telling Hellboy about the pregnancy, she was trying to find the right time but every single time she tried, the words never escaped her mouth. She was scared of course, scared about how he would react and in fact if she wanted to have the baby. What type of life would he or she have?

She tried to keep it cool, not let herself be known about her having a lot on her mind. As soon as she got closer and closer to the room, the steel door was opened only meant perhaps Red was back. She walked through the door hearing another voice in the room with him, she stopped in her tracks, raising an eyebrow. Another woman? who was this and in their bedroom.

Her feet started to walk slower, until she reached the two of them, She looked rather confused, seeing Red and a blond woman. "Uh..hello?" Liz folded her arms back together.

"What's going on?"

[Magdalena]

Mal had taken her drinks and took a seat on one of the chairs near Hellboy's bed. She popped open the can and took a nice long swig. After savouring the taste of the cold beverage, she was just about to answer his question when a lady moved into the room. She grinned and waved to her. "Buongiorno," she greeted, then lifted up another can of beer. "Would you like one?"

Just as she finished that sentence, she heard a hissing noise. She looked down at the floor to see one of the larger cats near her, hissing at her and looking ready to strike at her with it's paw. She made a puzzled face, then glanced at Hellboy.

"I guess they know a wolf when they see one..." she said, then looked back to the cat. "Hey you, don't hiss. I'm not mean."

[Hellboy]

Hellboy looked up as Liz entered the room and grinned as well. "Hey!"

Just as he was ready to add to that, he noticed that very confused look on her face. He didn't quite understand it right away, but decided it would be a good idea to answer her question.

"I was out in New York and found Ayla with this lady." he said, tilting his head in Magdalena's direction. "Liz, Mal. Mal, Liz. Ayla thought it'd be a good idea to bring her here. You know, can't have a werewolf in Central Park."

That's when the brute noticed the hissing cat and frowned a bit. "Huh.... maybe he's just grumpy."

[Liz Sherman]

Liz smiled lightly at Red as he said hey to her, but this whole walking in with him having another woman in their bedroom was completely awkward to her, to Liz at least. She turned her gaze on the woman as she spoke to her, greeting her in sort of another language. It wasn't a language she was familiar with. She figured it was somewhere along the lines of a hello. The question sort of knocked her off course about her offering her a beer. Drinking alcohol wasn't her thing especially now in her condition, though she knew the lady didn't know. "No thank you."

She had no idea how to react except feel completely out of place. "Right bring her in our room." She said in a slight sarcastic tone; Perhaps it was the standard idea of how bad the room looked plus that Liz found Red with this woman. Liz knew better than to feel territorial since she knew she could trust HB with all of her life, just made her really feel self-conscious. Liz was trying not to feel that way about her life anymore, she wanted to grow up and not be the 'old' Liz anymore.

It was bad enough that Liz couldn't live like this already with all the cats, her not being able to find her belongings, the room always being a complete mess and now Red was bringing in women in their room? she wasn't even here in the first place, deep down she knew nothing would happen but tell that to her heart. Perhaps she should just turn around and walk away.

Lately Liz had been thinking about leaving for awhile after finding out about the pregnancy, she thought she needed to be alone, so that would explain another escape route for her as she hated but needed to do from time to time.

She heard a hissing noise from one of the cats, her eyes went on the cat. Feeling sorry for the cat, must smell her being a werewolf. Cats had a expert instinct in their species. Liz lowered down on little, making a clicking noise with her tongue to get the cat's attention. The cat heard her and walked over, she rubbed and petted the top of the larger cat's head to calm her down. "Be good now." Liz smiled at the larger cat as she began to purr. "No one likes a mean grumpy ole' cat."

It wouldn't be easy to tell Red this, she thought they had their privacy in this room. Guessed she was wrong. Her attention went on her big red ape. "Red I'm...uh I'm going to leave for awhile. I thought I could tell you that in private but you have company so I thought you'd should know." Liz looked to the two of them, then sighed a little. "Well carry on with whatever conversation you two were having, act like I'm not here." she didn't know exactly how to handle this situation, acting like a jealous girlfriend was totally out of the question since Liz was not ever like that. She didn't act jealous or act out unless it was a heated argument between her and Hellboy but that would of explained the mood swings, it had a big explanation after finding out why.

She decided to get her things, maybe pack a half bag and come and get the rest later. Liz walked over to the closet, opening up the door, she went on her tippy toes to pull her duffel bag down since her height was not all that well coordinated to reach things. She pulled the bag down and sat it aside, gathering her clothes from the closet and then over to her drawers. Just she could not handle all this right now, there was too much at stake already with their relationship.

[Magdalena]

Alright, now things were awkward. Mal might have been a bit of a dumb blonde and certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she knew a lover's quarrel when she saw one. She had the sudden suspcion that she was probably in their room: their being the big red demon and that dark haired girl. Bad place for a blonde in a skimpy outfit to be.

"Uhhh....." her eyes shifted from Red to Liz and back again, then she picked up the six pack and stood up. "Oh wow! How did a bunny get into this place!? I should go follow it and see where it takes me! Bye bye now!"

Lamest excuse in the world... she thought to herself as she moved hastily out of the room and hopefully evaded as much drama as possible. Oh well, I don't want the guy's girlfriend to beat me up. Last thing I need is to get between a couple.

[Hellboy]

Shock. That was the first feeling that struck him. He watched as Magdalena awkwardly moved out of the room, then completely turned his attention to Liz. Red moved over towards the dark haired girl and reached out with his "normal" hand, taking her by the wrist.

"Liz? Wait, what? What's all this about?"

[Liz Sherman]

Great now she made herself look jealous and stupid since Magdalena left all weird out of their bedroom. Surely Liz knew that Hellboy would never cheat on her but then again with his attitude and how he's been acting with making himself known to the world about him and them all together. He may allow all of this go to his head and that's the last she wanted. Perhaps might be why she choose to not let him know about the pregnancy. Because of his reaction, he might not give her the reaction she always dreamt of seeing from him.

She continued gathering her clothes together after turning her head one side watching the girl leave, she sighed in frustration then felt a very warm hand touch her wrist, Liz whipped around and looked up to Hellboy whom was taller than she was. Now why wasn't she surprised he'd do that? with all the questions, him not understanding her actions and her attitude.

Liz blinked slowly, not really wanting to do this but what other choice did she have. Not many. Her brown eyes looked up his golden ones, she reached up and rubbed his red cheek, shaking her head at him. "I need some space, Red. I can't live like this, it's too much and now this..with you bringing another woman in our room and---" Liz explained but she couldn't say the rest, not now..it was not the right time to tell him that he was going to be a father. He had his life, she would just wreck it.

She just waved it off. "Forget it, I'm not going to say anymore." Liz turned her back to him, closing her bag up, soon she passed Hellboy heading inside the bathroom to get her toothbrush and paste and other things she would need.
