❝ Schoolboy crush, maybe? Haven't you seen how I give you those puppy dog eyes? ❞ Doubt a joke was what she was looking for but hell, she'd set him up for it well enough so why not?

Deft fingers of his left hand were busy working the button and zipper of her pants, ignoring her flirtation as best he could. More focused on making sure that she was taken care of than discouraging further attempts to get in his pants. She was too messed up to handle him right now even if he were to take her bait.

Eventually, he'd ask what she'd gotten herself into that got her hurt this badly.

"Always got red demons in those dreams of yours," he questioned as he lowered her pants. "Guess I should be honored I'm one of them."

Johnnie raised up her arms, sly expression still present as she sat before him topless. The hunter hadn't bothered with a bra today, well aware that she'd planned to drop by Hellboy's place tonight.

Getting absolutely bodied by her hunt was not originally in her plans.

"Hard to not flirt when you're peeling layers off of me, red. Although I pictured this going down differently in my dreams." A relentless flirt. Johnnie kept up the chase even now when she was filthy and cold.

Hellboy decided it was best to stay his tongue for a time to allow her appropriate time to begin to come to grips with the information he'd presented. Being told you were coo-coo for coco puffs your entire life when the reality was more twisted than that could be hard to take. He had no interest in overloading her. Though he had to admit there was a curiosity blooming. Given her visions were real then who knows what she could be seeing, where she could be seeing, she could be getting premonitions from across the world.

"Granted there are your honest and true oddballs out there with minds that just aren't right," he commented after a moment. "I find that it's best to not dispel possibilities, though. Some minds got more goin' on than doctors know about. Werewolves, ghosts, things exist. Annoyin' but real."

Lucy nodded her head as he confirmed her reality. She was taking it quite well, considering how many people had told her these things weren't real. Of course, it helped that the source of the information was something she'd thought was a hallucination just moments before.

"I always thought the things up here weren't just my imagination," she told him, tapping the side of her head with a single fingertip as she spoke. "These visions always seemed far too real to be made up. It's one thing to have nightmares of ghosts and werewolves, and other movie monsters. But I've seen things I wouldn't even begin to be able to describe."

❝ An' here I thought we were buddy-buddy. Striking me right in the heart. ❞ Hellboy feigned hurt but he wasn't taking her words all that seriously. Was no surprise that a witch might not want him around. Despite a certain sect of witches claiming he would be the KING of all witches. . . which he hadn't taken very well. ❝ Making it sound like I follow you around or somethin'. ❞

troublemaker might not necessarily be how others would describe him in the organization. resident trouble finder might be the better way of describing exactly what hellboy was, you put him on assignments when you were expecting things to show up. or even when you thought that you might have just a hoax or rumors on your hands but on the off case that it was legitimate you needed your best on it. one could also consider him fairly . . . messy.

"heh, not sure that label fits me too well. though i have a preference for skipping some of the bureau's dumber practices. can't tell ya why they have so many supposed psychics employed but all they do is stand around givin' ya vague statements as if they're doing some hard work." even when they did get things right it was almost impossible not to when all you had were vague statements. something was bound to hit the mark.

"long as you know what you're in for comin' with me to my assignments. ain't for the faint of heart most of the time." though they did have a tendency to visit the best food spots they could find once they were done. often made it worth the trouble.

the moniker of ‘ troublemaker ’ gets a little more of a knowing - sort - of - grin out of her than it probably should, what with first impressions being so important. but she isn’t about to deny the fact that he’s only been around her less than an hour and already he’s got a bead on her ----- at least not completely. ( and even if she did, he’d see for himself sooner rather than later. and she’d rather downplay than lie. again, bad for first impressions. ) “sometimes. depends on the situation,” or whoever’s the one passing out the labels in those situations. “my director would probably just call me a giant pain in his ass.” not that fury was an innocent victim in all this ----------- he’d done plenty to warrant her pushback. “i prefer ... outspoken.” so really, a mix of all three. but even with the chronic pain she liked to inflict on him, nick fury trusted her enough to make her a liaison for a second time in her stint with SHIELD. granted, the difficulty curve here is much higher than keeping tabs on captain america ----- navigating a man with a moral compass always pointed due north and a near - obsession with inserting himself into conflicts that weren’t always his battles to fight was starting to feel like a cakewalk compared to some of the cases she’s thumbed through already. but at least she’s beginning to get the impression she’ll be amongst like - minded individuals. one, anyway.

“so what you’re really saying is, i picked a troublemaker of my own to learn the ropes from. checks out.”

Having dozed off in an arm chair he was easily able to see her in the kitchen when his eyes finally opened. ❝That breakfast I smell over there? No wonder I gave ya a key to my place.❞

His cigarette hung unlit from between red lips but before even thinking about lighting it his gaze shifted to the hero. ❝ You aren't an anti-cigarette sorta woman, are ya? ❞

few words had been exchanged so far and yet this was the closest anyone had come to any sort of connection with the entity. no one captured was willing to open up but she'd been a brick wall since being put into her captivity. one would have expected her to loosen up after a time and be willing to at least speak, she'd given nothing away. at least, not until the cigarette came into play.

everyone had their vices.

"maybe we got some other stuff in common, hm?" her turning away from him in no way deterred his attempts to get her to speak. getting anything more would at least keep this from being absolutely fruitless. "can start small, like... i got a name. hellboy. you?"

with keen eyes, the entity observed the way the red man-beast prelit the cig and settled within the two-sided slot, which she frowned at. it appeared as though whomever they were had thoroughly thought out her confinement. the petite woman prowled forward when he motioned her yet she remained quiet for that moment.

amelia plucked the cigarette between her index and middle finger before descending the foot of it between her lips. she inhaled deeply, allowing the smoke to swirl within her lungs and throat only to release it through her parted mouth and nostrils. ah, the simple pleasantries such as smoking never failed to assuage some of her irritation. her eyes flickered towards him, staring intently for two beats until she finally nodded in response. " it seems we do... "

her reply was short and she gave no other indications of speaking for she turned around and sat upon the cot once again, enjoying her cigarette.

Gotham City, Hellboy dealt with some creepy crap but something about this place took the cake. People could create a lot of creepy without needing monsters or demons. ❝ We got a problem? ❞

"I wasn't mauled. I was lightly mauled." Wasn't a small distinction when you took into account the number of non-living victims left behind.
