Kat sighs and turns to walk down the hall and hears Hellboy follow her.

"Babe, are you mad?" He asks carefully.

She sighs softly, "Not at you." She turns as they reach their door. "I would have done the same thing."

Hellboy sighs, relieved that she wasn't upset, but he could see she was bothered, "Look, Kitten..."

"Red, he had no right to say that to you." She says softly.

Hellboy sighs and looks away, angry at Manning, at Sammael, Rasputin, himself. He lost two good men down there and one agent, who he knew like a best friend, was an inch away from death.

Kat move to stand in front of him and reaches to cup his face in her hands, "It's not your fault. We underestimated the situation."

"Yet, I got everyone hurt or killed." Hellboy scoffs and sighs at the feeling of Kat's fingers brushing against his beard. He leans down and presses his head against hers. "I almost lost you." He whispers as the memory of Kroenen having her in his grip fills his mind and makes his anger rise more.

Kat sighs and lifts her head to kiss his cheek, pulling him down to wrap her arms around his neck. "If a bitch wannabe queen can't keep us apart, I highly doubt a dust bag asshole would." She laughs as he chuckles. "And he's lying on a slab right now, being poked and probed.  So, that's a good thing, Red. 

Hellboy sighs and lifts his head, wrapping his arms around her as he straightens. Her feet dangles as she continues to hold on to him. But he still didn't feel any better. Not until everyone comes out alive. No more sparing lives.

Katherine slowly lets him go and he gently puts her down, "I'm gonna go check on Clay. I'll be right back...ok?" She says.

Hellboy sighs and nods, he didn't trust his voice right now. He leans down and kisses her head as she moves to walk down the hall towards the other Med Bay where Clay was. He sighs and leans on the wall, thinking about everything that went on in the tunnels. Losing Quarry and Moss. Nearly losing Abe and Clay. Watching Kroenen take off with his girl. Sammael. This was such bullshit. Moving away, Hellboy heads inside his room and goes straight to the shower. He needed some time alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(SMUT!)

With the hot spray pouring down over him, Hellboy leans on the wall, pressing his stone fist against the wall as he kicks himself.

He sighs at the caressing feel of the shower, but it didn't help how he was feeling. He still carries so much rage. He just wanted to punch Manning so badly. Kill Rasputin for bringing him on this Earth. He wanted to yell and scream at his parents for creating him. He just hated life right then and there.

Soon, he feels a soft hand gently brushing up his back. That soft feeling made everything go away. He sighs softly and turns to see Kat standing in front of him, naked, wet, and beautiful.

He looks down at her, admiring her beautiful face, her body, everything about her. He couldn't even speak. Kat couldn't take the hopelessness in his eyes. He was hurting badly and all she wanted to do was heal his angry heart. She reaches up an cups his face in her hands, watching him sighing in content as her fingers run through his beard. He leans down, pressing his head against hers.

How can this...gorgeous woman...tame his wild, raging heart and, yet, still love him? Manning was right, he was reckless. But that's how he is. He does all he can to do his job and keep people safe. But it still cost too much.

Kat looks up as his pained face and lifts on her tiptoes to kiss his lips. Hellboy couldn't resist, he falls into her kiss and deepens it. Filling it with his passion, his fire for her. He wraps his arms around her body, pressing her tight against him as they continue their wet make-out. The water trails down over them, mixing with their kisses.

Hellboy turns her and presses her against the wall. Taking her hands and trapping them above her with his stone hand. He grins down at her and kisses her again. With his human hand. He reaches down and lifts her leg. Keeping it over his hip.

Kat moans against his lips as he lowers himself to meet her warm flesh with his hardness. He groans softly as he slowly thrusts against her, rubbing against her wet pearl. Hellboy trails his lips over her skin till he reaches her neck, sucking on her sensitive areas as he continues his erotic torture. Kat whimpers with need as her body trembles for him. He slowly lets her go and feels her fingers dig into his back as she holds on to him, lifting her hips to meet his slow thrusts.

Hellboy reaches down and picks her up in his arms, her legs automatically wrapping around his hips. He moves and captures her lips one more time. Keeping her pressed against the wall. The feel of her was driving him crazy. She was his addiction.  Panting heavily, he breaks the kiss to look for the handle and shuts the water off before carrying her towards the bedroom. 

Still holding her in his arms, Hellboy gets on his knees on the bed and gently places her down.  Once she lets her legs fall, he reaches under her to pull the bedspread, blankets and sheets away.  He covers her body with his, holding her in his arms as he leans down to catch her lips again.  He moans softly as he rubs himself again between her wet folds. 

Together, they moan and moved together. Lifting their hips to meet one another.  Panting, as the kiss breaks, Hellboy trails kisses all over Kat's body. Going lower to where she aches to have him.  She couldn't stop the whimpers as he kisses her lower lips.  He starts to make soft growls as he pushes her legs apart and dives between them. 

Throwing her head back against the pillows, Kat lets out a loud moan as Hellboy feasts on her flesh.  He moans softly around her pearl as he gently sucks.  Rolling his tongue around it.  Kat whimpers and her body trembles, she needed release so badly but not without him. 

With soft gasp of air, Hellboy lifts his head and licks his lips as he climbs back over her. 

"I love you." He whispers and kisses her passionately.  Panting softly, "I love you." He mumbles against her lips. 

"I love you."  Kat whispers softly. 

After so many nights of rough love making, it was very rare for them to have a night like this. Slow and soft, sweet love making.  Kat never minded how Hellboy preferred the wild tigress in bed, but once in a blue moon, he just wants to cherish every little thing about her. Every part of her.  Tonight, in most cases, most people would just fuck the pain away.  But, Hellboy and Kat weren't most people. He moans softly with her as her legs slides over his him, feeling her rub against him.  He grips her ass with his human hand as they roll to their side.  Gripping her flesh tightly in his hand as he keeps her pressed against him, meeting her movements. 

She gently pushes him to lie on his back, climbing on top of him.  He grunts as she gently pushes him back against the pillows, sighing softly as he grins up at her.  She leans down and kisses him deeply and passionately, making sure he knew how much she loved him.  He knew she does.  Everyday she shows it and doesn't even realize it.  He moans softly as she breaks the kiss to trail her lips down his body.  He drops his head and sighs as he feels her grip him in her hands.  With a loud moan, his head throws back agains the pillows as she takes him in her mouth.  Stroking his hardness as she sucks the tip. 

"Oh, fuck, babe." He whispers and moans as she drags her tongue so softly over his sensitive flesh.  He grunts another moan as he feels her play with his balls.  "Fuck." His face twists into agony as he grips the sheets with his human hand.  "Ohhh!" He groans. 

Kat has been practicing to surprise Hellboy, little by little to take him deeper in her mouth.  She felt powerful when she hears him groan in surprise as she slides more of him inside till he nearly touches the back of her throat. 

"Holy shit! Oh! Babe, that's new!" He moans and grits his teeth, "Oh, yeah."

She pants as she lets go with a wet pop, laughing softly at her accomplishment.  She yelps when Hellboy yanks her up on top of him, giggling as he chuckles, moaning once again as he captures her lips.  Kat pants and sits up to straddle him.  Reaching between them, she grips him in her hand and moves to slide down over him, taking him slowly inch by inch.  They both gasp in pleasure as they feel their hot flesh join together as one.  Kat moans as she goes down more to take all of him.  Never seizes to surprise Hellboy; a big demon like him could break a human woman with his size.  Maybe even kill her.  But not Kat.  She was made just for him. 

Moaning together, Kat moves her hips and rides him at an even pace.  Hellboy keeps his hands on her hips, guiding her as he lifts his own to meet her movements. She uses his chest as leverage, gripping his muscles as she rides him slow and lovingly.  Hellboy slowly closes his eyes and savors the feel of Kat wrapped around his manhood, it was incredible.  Like her.  He reaches up and takes her hand with his human hand, she gasps when he takes it off his chest, causing her to fall forward a little, but she catches herself to avoid slamming on top of him.  He intertwines their fingers together and lifts his hips more, picking up the pace till she moans louder and throws her head back.  Grunting, Hellboy shouts and moans with her as she tightens around him.  He wasn't ready for this to be over so quickly.  With his stone hand, he grips her back and yanks her forward till he captures her lips again.  Moaning against them as he rolls them over till he was on top of her. 

Panting heavily, he breaks the kiss and grins down at her as he remains deep inside her, but he slows his movements till she whimpers. 

"Hellboy, don't stop.  Please." She begs. 

Grinning wickedly, "You like that?  You want me to fuck you, or do you want me to love you?" He pushes deeper, making her cry out in pleasure.  "Oh, yeah." He groans.  "How about it, Babe? Fuck or love?" He grunts and thrusts again, sweat was building over their bodies. 

Whimpering, Kat moans more as he shifts his hips and slide in deeper, "Oh, god.  Please, please.  Love me." As badly as she wanted it rough, she wanted this Hellboy, the kind, gentle lover she craves for. 

"Yeah?" He pants out, "Oh, I'll love you, Babe.  Forever." He shifts his body and begins to pick up his thrusts, moaning and grunting. 

Kat cries out and holds on to him, digging her nails into his back, "Oh, God."

Hellboy grits his teeth, forcing himself not to go so roughly, but it was hard for him.  He needed her badly, but he wanted her pleasure more.  He wanted her to enjoy it.  And she was!  He moans and shouts as he feels himself twitch deep inside her.  He drops over her to bury his face in her neck, holding her tightly as he continues to love her body. 

"Oh, god, oh, babe.  I'm close." He grunts out. 

Kat couldn't speak, all she could do was whimper under him and hold on as he made love to her, "Oh, please, please." She whimpers out.

"God, I love you, babe!" He shouts as his body jerks against her. 

"I....I...Ohhhhh!" They both shout as the climax hit them harder than before.  When they're rough with each other, it's on a different level.  This was one of the best for both of them as they come together as one.  Feeling as if they just touched heaven together.  Kat cries out as her body arches under him as she gushes and tightens around him.  Hellboy shouts as he shoves deeper till he fills her hard, he shoves again till she squeezes him dry.  Hellboy grunts and lets out a loud groan as he continues to empty himself.  With a harsh puff of air, he collapses to his side, feeling her shake under him from the orgasm.  He gently slides out, leaving a wet trail. 

Panting heavily, they both laid over the wet sheets in a limp pile. 

"You definitely know how to love a woman, Red." She says breathlessly and laughs. 

Still panting, Hellboy grunts and chuckles, "Glad to know I haven't bored you yet." He sighs and grunts as he gets up.  Before they could go to bed, he wanted her to be comfortable.  So, like a gentleman...for the first time in a very long time since they've met...hell, he's never done this before. Everytime they made love or fucked, he just rolls over and snuggles. But tonight, he cleaned her up and the sheets.  Well, cleaning the sheets included yanking the bed bare and just placing a blanket over the mattress so they could be warm.  Still naked in each other's arms, Hellboy held her gently against his chest and tickles her back as she rests.  Listening to his heartbeat as she plays with his chest hairs. 

"How's Clay doing?" He asks softly.

Kat sighs, "Not much change, but the doctors are doing everything they can." She looks up at him, "He's gonna be ok, Red.  Have faith." She says softly. 

He sighs, "I'm trying, Babe.  But, I left him down there."

"To save me and to stop Sammael.  I'm part to blame, anyway." She scoffs. 

"No, you're not." Hellboy shakes his head.

"If I wasn't so surprised, seeing that place, I would have sensed Kroenen right then." She argues.

Hellboy still disagrees, "I don't think so, Babe.  I didn't even notice him.  I usually sniff out enemies long before they can take me down."

Kat gives him a weird look, "And what about Sammael? Did you sense him before or after you took a swan dive out of the library window?" She asks sarcastically.

He holds up a finger, "Ok, one time.  One time, I missed the chance." He scoffs.

Kat rolls her eyes, but chuckles as she snuggles back against his chest with a sigh. She begins to think abut her dreams and the voice she's been hearing.  She doesn't know why she hasn't told Red.  Travis never said she couldn't.  And she didn't like keeping secrets from him.

"Red." She sits up and holds the blanket against her body. 

"Yeah, Babe?" He asks as he watches her move to face him. 

"When we were facing Sammael the first time, I had a vision.  I usually never have them when I'm awake, but that was the first time.  It's like when I hit my head, it cracked opened a door.  Opening a new path for me to have them." She says.

"So, when you were screaming that night..." He frowns.

"I was having a vision." She finishes for him.

He looks at her in concern, rubbing her arm softly in comfort, "What was it?" He asks.

Kat rubs her bottom lip and shivers, "It was Rasputin.  Grigory, whatever he calls himself.  And...Ilsa.  His lover.  The dust bag in the lab, Kroenen.  And..." She frowns as she tries to recall what she saw.  "I saw...Ilsa and Kroenen...in a cold place.  There was ice and snow everywhere.  If Grigory killed himself, then Ilsa and Kroenen brought him back somehow.  I saw him covered in blood.  Then before we got back, I saw them all in that shower room with Sammael.  Something about an eclipse and a child must be there." She frowns and shakes her head, "I don't really understand what it means."

Hellboy frowns, but rubs her arm and shoulder in comfort, "We'll figure it out, Babe.  Don't worry."

Kat sighs heavily, "That night, I had a dream." She shivers at the memories.  "I saw my parents."

Hellboy looks at in her shock, his frown deepening at this information. 

"I also saw a place I never been to nor have I even seen or heard of.  According to Abe, he said it was a place where royals, people who ruled parts of Hell, sat there.  He called it 'Hell's Playground'. I saw hundreds of...people screaming in horrible..." She couldn't describe it.  "And there was a throne.  Decorated in nothing but human bones.  Abe said it was called..."

"The Throne of Agony." Hellboy nods, remembering about this.

Kat looks at him in surprise, "Wait, you know about the Throne of Agony?"

Hellboy sighs, "I read about it once when we were hunting that den of succubuses in that strip joint in New York.  Someone called you a not so nice word in succuś (succubus language) but they also called you daughter of the Dutch Wizard or something." He mutters.  He looks up at her, "But I knew it meant about your father.  So, I did some private research and found a lot of sick stuff." He shakes his head, "I couldn't share it with you.  It would have given you horrific nightmares.  And plus," He stops and sighs, "I know how much your dad meant to you.  I couldn't destroy the image you have of him because of his past."

Kat sighs in disappointment, "Red, that job was 2 years ago.  You should have told me.  You don't have to protect me."

Hellboy looks away, picking at the blanket, "I know.  But, you know me when it comes to fathers.  I didn't have such a great relationship with mine.  Hell, I didn't have one with my real father.  Whoever the fuck he was." He scoffs and looks at her, into her eyes, "But, Kitten...you had one who loved you and treated you like a child should be treated.  If I had what you had, and I find out my father is a....well..." He laughs humorlessly. "I guess we're two peas in a pod.  Both of our fathers from Hell.  Literally.  But you know what I mean." He waves it off, "Just thought I was doing something right for you."

Kat sighs softly and leans forward to kiss his lips gently, she gives him a soft smile as she pulls away, "As disappointed as I am about this, but I know your heart was in the right place.  Just...no more secrets from here on.  Okay?"

Hellboy's heart jumps when he thinks of one secret he was keeping from her.  Something he hasn't told anyone.  And he couldn't tell her...not just yet.  It wasn't the right time. 

He gives her a grin, "Okay." He sighs softly and pulls her close.

Hesitantly, Kat struggles to find the right words, "There's something else. Something I can't really explain."

Hellboy looks down at her, "What is it?" He asks softly.

"When I had the dream of my parents, of Hell's Playground, I heard a voice." She says, sighing shakily. "It was my father's voice."

Hellboy frowns, "Well, that's nothing. I mean, you were dreaming of them, so they were talking to you in the dream." He shrugs.

"But I heard him again down in the tunnels." Kat adds.

"What?"

"When Kroenen had me. He dragged me past several mirrors and I heard his voice again. I even saw him in the freaking mirror." Kat scoffs.

"Okay, that's strange. Was it a vision, or...?" He trails off.

"I don't know. And it pisses me off that I don't know anything about these visions." She sighs, feeling lost.

"Don't worry, Babe. Once Abe is better, and once we get this whole bullshit with Rasputin taken care of, we'll figure it out. Maybe...we can find a seer and see if we can contact your parents, if that'll be possible. I promise...I'll do everything I can just for you." He says softly.

Lifting her head to look at him, "Really?" She was so touched with what he does for her. He'll bend over backwards for her and she knows it.

"I think we're past the part where we meet the parents, don't ya think?" He grins and laughs as she scoffs, but smiles when she laughs.

She gives him a soft smile and grips his chin as she lifts up to kiss his lips, "I love you, Red."

Returning the smile, "I love you, too, Babe." He says and strokes her back as he lets out a hum of content as they get comfortable.  "So, uh...how about a round 2?"

Kat snaps up with frown, but Hellboy wiggles his brows at her and pounces her.  Kat shrieks as they laugh and rolled all over the bed, falling into another round of lovemaking.  He tosses the blanket over there bodies as he plays with her under it.  The blanket shuffles around against their movements, muffling their laughter barely.

"How about you be my little succubus?" He teases.

Kat giggles, "Want me to give you a lap dance?"

"As long as there's a happy ending." He grins. 

Kat squeals under the blanket and shrieks in laughter.  Hellboy grins as he loves her once again.  This time, rough like he loves it.  And again...and again.  And again.  By the time they were finished with their 5th round, Kat was passed out over his chest.  Hellboy's chest heaves with his heavy breathing.  His body still tingled from his constant orgasm.  Once the last aftershock hit him, he sighs and collapses over the bed.  He couldn't move and he didn't want to move.  He looks down at his love draped over his body and gently move her to rest on the mattress. 

Sighing softly and quietly, he winces as he struggles to be quiet and carefully gets out of bed.  After relieving himself in the bathroom and cleaning up, he gets his boxers on and heads back into the bedroom.  He stops and grins as he admires Kat's sleeping form.  She was beautiful with her body spread out over the mattress, her hair everywhere.  The blanket barely covered her naked body from him.  He moves around the bed and walks towards a wall.  He looks over his shoulder and makes sure he was truly asleep.  From behind a picture of his favorite band, he opens a secret door that shows a safe with a keypad panel.  He types in his passcode (Kat's Birthday) and opens it.  Inside was valuable items that meant so much to Hellboy.  But he eyes one thing that sat right at the top.  A black velvet box.  He grins and takes it. 

Moving away, he looks down at it in his hand and with a flick of his thumb, he opens it to reveal a beautiful engagement ring.  A huge grin breaks out on his face. He's been thinking about this for a long time, but he didn't know how or when he should do this. It never really occurred to him that he wanted to marry. After meeting other creatures, they never worked out for him. Liz...

Hellboy sighs at the past. There was once upon a time that he wanted to marry Liz. But...it was never in the cards in the first place. He never gotten this far before. Getting a ring. According to Travis, this was his and Trevor's family ring that their mother wore when she was engaged. Nestled in the sterling silver band was a 1 carat ruby stone surrounded by baby diamonds.

A year ago, before Travis and Hellboy weren't speaking to one another, he went to his uncle for help about how to ask Kat for his hand in marriage.  And when Travis listened to what Hellboy was asking for...he couldn't help but smile big at this information. 

"If you truly want to surprise her, you need to prepare everything she loves. Foods, certain gestures, play her favorite song. You could do what some men do for their ladies. Some would hire a pilot and write it in the sky..."

"Unc, Unc, I think I don't really fall into that category right now." Hellboy mutters sarcastically.

"Oh, sorry. Hmmm...well, son, I have heard this from younger gentlemen who are more...intimate with their choices of asking."

"If you're talking about me being naked with chocolate and whipped cream on my..."

Travis holds up a hand, stopping him from saying more than he should know, "Whatever you feel comfortable doing..."

"Oh, come on!" Hellboy grimaces in disgust, it was starting to get very awkward talking about his sex life with his uncle.

"You are both young and it makes sense to experiment." Travis shrugs.

"Why not recite poetry or...?" Abe tries to help but Hellboy cuts him off.

"Hey, Baby, how 'bout we marry? Wanna fuck?" Hellboy says sarcastically and scoffs.

Abe groans and facepalms at how terrible that was.

Hellboy shoves his seat away with a frustrated grunt, "This is so stupid!"

"Hellboy..." Travis holds his hands up, stopping him from getting angry. "You're asking the woman you have loved for 2 years. I'm honestly surprised you two haven't married now." He stops and sighs, "I may not be Trevor, Hellboy. But, I care about you and Kat as if you two were my own children. And Abe, as well. And, from what I have seen since I have joined this team with you three...I can see you and Katherine share such chemistry that hardly anyone carries. You two..." He stops and chuckles as he walks to stand next to Hellboy, placing a hand on his arm, "It may seem such a cliché, but you two were made for each other. And I know you can see that as well. Fate...has brought the two of you together for a reason. More than destiny. When I learned about you and Katherine's prophecy, I truly believe it wasn't just to save the world...it was to save you both."

Hellboy sighs softly as he thinks about what Travis said. It was true. They were made for each other and he wasn't going to lose her. If anything ever touches her or harms her in any way...they'll be sorry. He grins crookedly and looks at the ring one more time...

When the time is right, he'll ask Katherine Hemlock to marry him. He clicks the box closed and places it back into his hidden safe, locking it tight. Carefully, he slides back into bed and gently pulls Kat into his arms. She mumbles in her sleep and snuggles against his chest, making soft pleasant noises. Hellboy couldn't help but laugh softly. She almost sounded like a kitten mewing. Always had a thing for cats.
