Crossing WorldLines pt1 (Angel): Chapter 4- Back to Jersey
by JuggaloJohn
“ Yes you said we would go back there what for.”
“Well it was the cross over point between the DC world line and the Dark Horse world line. Batman has given me something I need when I was with him.”
“Ok, so Let us go then. And not wasted time” Illyria said
“Well wait a sec,” Lobo said as he whistled and his Bike came smashing through the room, “opps…my bad”
“Ok well Illyria just return to where we were the first time.” I said
With that she simply opened a portal and all four of us went through, and ended up right back in the Dark Horse world line in Newark, New Jersey. Right in front of the Department of sanitation, or at least that what it said on the outside. I walked over to the camera on the side of the gate and showed it the crest Batman had given me.
The gate slide open and I waved the others to follow. As I walked to the door we all entered and found ourselves in front of the main lobby desk with a guard sitting at it
“For what reason are you four here……?” the man said
“I was sent here on the advice of Batman, he said that this was the best place to find the help I would need for the kind of problem I have.” I said plainly, but it was my idea to come here, Batman said to just drop his name to make sure I didn’t have any problems.
“Oh, well very good then Sir” the guard said “watch your arms please”
And with that the floor we where standing on began to lower, just as I know it would.
“So Bats, Knows these Guys or sompin’” Lobo asked
“Yeah, he worked with the guy we’re looking for once” I said, “that’s How I know the Two world lines cross here. He also gave me what we needed to get in here without any problems.”
The Floor stopped and the four of us walked towards the doors at the end of the hall.
“But where are we anyway, this looks like a government complexes” Wesley asked
“Yup it’s” but before I could finish the doors opened and John Myers walked out saying
“Welcome to the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense”
“The What?!?!?!?!” Wesley shouted
“Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense or B.P.R.D.” I said “ Wes, Do you think you’re the only one in this world line that deals with the Paranormal, or can save the World from total destruction.”
“Well,….wait you mean to tell me that the United States government has a federal program for Paranormal Research and Defense. I thought they only wanted them as weapons.”
“Well, there are lots of Government programs I don’t even know about.” Myers said. “Anyway?!? So…umm what brings you here Mister…umm”
“Harris,” I said “ John Harris, and We are here to ask here to ask the Red Guy to help out in saving the world form the forces of darkness and all that…. you know stuff that right up his alley.”
“Umm…yes well, if batman said that we are the ones to help you then I guess we are…” Myers said.
“Big red Guy???” Wesley asked puzzled.
“Follow me please through the library “ Myers said,
“Woo, nice fish tank you got their man” Lobo said “Could be a swimming Pool”
“It’s Not a Fish Tank, its My Home,” said a voice behind us
“Oh hello there Abe” I said
“Hello there yourself John Harris, strange, you do not belong here, you are not from this world, not from a world I have ever seen or heard of…strange, That you know me and all of us, but are not from any world even close by”
“Yep, that’s why I’m here Abe, I need help to work out a plan to save these people and get me home.” I said
“Ah, yes, I can see that now.” Abe said throw the speaker of his glass tank.
“Who is this?!?” Wesley asked.
“Abe Sapien” Abe said, “sorry, I forgot the rest of you didn’t know me”
“Yeah, well Abe, love to hang and chat, but we need to see Red.” I said
But Abe only looked intently at Illyria, I could tell he was just reading the evil force she puts off.
“This Person, her there, She more Ancient and Evil then anything I have felt. Strange that she is just standing with you…….No…I feel it now, you are lost, you are out of touch with your once great life…….and I no longer feel Evil, more just the echo of evil, strange……you were once a powerful Demon, almost as Powerful as Cthulhu”
Illyria trembled at the Sound of the Name.
“Do Not Speak Of the Destroyer of Worlds in my presents Fish man.” Illyria snapped, “The End of all beginnings is to be compared to nothing.”
“My apologies, I did not main to offend you, it’s just I no longer sense Evil, more just Apathy, all that Horrific Power, but No want or care to use it.” Abe Finished.
I just looked blankly at Illyria, I have heard of Cthulhu on many different things, but I never would of thought it would bring such fear into a Demon as Powerful as Illyria, what in Gods Name is Cthulhu then………
“She is a demon???” Myers asked worriedly
“Umm well, yes” Wesley said in reply
“But I will explain, for what seems like the billionth time, As Soon as we get to see Hellboy”
“WHO!?!?” said Wesley
“Hellboy, the guy we are here to meet” I said
“Hellboy!!!!!!”
“Yes, Wes!!”
“Oh yeah, I heard a him, when I was on that weekend downstairs, hahahaha”
“What?” Wesley and Myers said together.
“John” Abe said
“What?” Both Myers and me said together
“Sorry, Myers, just take them to see him. They will need his help” Abe said.
“Ok follow me” Myers said once again
As we where walking down the passage Wesley stopped me for a second and said, “What did Lobo mean when he said when I spent the weekend downstairs.”
“Well I told you about his deal, He died once, spent sometime in heaven and trashed the place, so they kicked him out and they sent to hell, where he damn near took over it. So both sides made a deal, Lobo was turned immortal so there was no way he was ever going to come back.” I explained
“He almost took over hell in a weekend!?!?!?!” Wesley exclaimed
“Again, this is why he is on our team.” I said plainly
Lobo Just Smiled, as Wesley looked at him.
“I should of read more Comics growing up” Wesley said
“Ok, here we are” Myers said as we got to the large vault like door, and Myers Pulls two Baby Ruths out of his pocket, and handed them to me. The Door was swung open and you can see about ten cats coming into sight.
“This guy got a thing for varmints?” Lobo Asked.
“Umm, No, Just cats” Myers said.
As we walked into the room we could see Hellboy from the back, he was grinding down his Horns. And caught a glimpse of us in the mirror.
“Sup Myers, dinner isn’t for four more hour, something going on.” Hellboy said as he turned “Who are these Guys”
“Umm, they say they are Friends of Batman.”
“Well, a friend is kind of a stretch. More like he put the good word in for us” I corrected
“Hmmm, Well I know Batman, Putting in a word is something he would only do for a friend, or someone who he thinks really needs the help. So what’s your story?” Hellboy said
“Umm’ I’ll take it this time John” Wesley said as he sat down and recapped the entire store over once again for Hellboy and Myers. After he was finished Hellboy just stood there looking at us.
“WOW, that sounds like a problem. Hmmm, but it also sounds like a Party too, and I would feel right after being invited to not at least stop in to say Hi.” Hellboy laughed, “So your name is John too, what’s your Last name.”
“Harris” I said
“Ok Harris it is then. To many John” Hellboy Joked
“Yeah tell me about it” I said
“Well, looks like you guys got one more member of your little team. I need to tell my buddies I’m heading off for a little while, and get myself some supplies, the Samaritan extra rounds.” Hellboy said as if he was a kid heading to summer camp. “Oh, and I need to talk to Liz before I go.”
Hellboy wondered off out the room, Then Myers looked at us, and started to talk.
“umm…well…he is going to be running around for a while getting things he needs. So umm lets head back to the library, I’m sure you will find a lot of the books there maybe helpful to you.”
“Hmmm…. well it couldn’t hurt to look really” Wesley said, seeming happy at the sound of getting to sit and read for a while, I think he seemed that this was a little bit of normalness to this rather weird day.
As we got to the Library Hellboy was already taking to Abe, informing him he was going to be heading out with us. Abe just nodded, he already knows everything from us as me passed, he felt it in our minds. Wesley sat down in a chair and started thumbing through a few Books Myers said may help out. Wesley just seem happy to read something New, Finally he was getting something out of this trip. Which I was happy for I was the one having the fun even if the was and important mission to help get me home. I only wish I know I was going to be able to get home. Illyria was just standing looking into the glass tank, until after Hellboy wandered off again. Then she began to talk to Abe. She looked very thoughtful, like she was wondering what to do next. Lobo just kind of sat down beside me, and spun the globe sitting next to us.
“So where are we heading again” Lobo asked
“L.A., its right about here” I said pointing to the globe with an arrow I formed with the ring, yeah I know not really an important use of the power, but I felt like it.
After about an hour Hellboy returned to the library again, Liz was behind him wheeling in a trunk. I have seen the case before; it housed all his weapons and different ammo for the Samaritan. Hellboy walked over to a case next to the main desk. It was a humidor he pulled out a case of cigars. He looked around the room, and I saw him looking at Lobo
“Hey Big guy, here!” Hellboy said as he throws Lobo three rather large cigars.
“Woo, I know I liked this Guy” Lobo said as he Light on of the Cigars and put the others in his pocket.
“Are you ready now Hellboy?” I asked
“Oh yeah, just one sec.” Hellboy said as he turned to Liz and gave her a hug “be back soon. Later Abe.”
With that I used the ring to pick up the trunks and the now Five of us walked to the main entrance, back to where Lobo’s Bike was sitting.
“Ok Illyria lets head back to the Wolfram & Hart building, but set us on the roof, and will walk down. So no one we don’t want to see us, won’t see us.” I said.
Illyria simple nodded and opened a portal with no effort at all, and we stepped throw, Lobo and Hellboy Carrying the trunk followed by Lobos bike. And as easy like walking into another room we where on the other side of the US. Standing on the top of the Wolfram & Hart Building.
