Isabella Cross Stepping on to the platform, Isabella felt as if her nerves were being exposed everything made her twitch and look in that direction in which it came. Isabella was briefed about who she would be working with although much was left to her imagination. not paying attention to where she was going the platform she was standing on began to move and like an elevator it slowly descended into the ground. Bending her knees she caught her self from the sudden movement it made when it jerked and kept moving.
Their were two agents she thought standing in from of her. They looked a lot like the Men in Black. Bella smiled at her thought. Blinking she looked around the agents that stood in front of her Her eyes dared from side to side as she took everything in. Though she really couldn't see much due to the fact their were people blocking her way and the fact that they haven't stopped moving yet so everything looked like cement walls.
Isabella wore her normal ripped jeans and purple tank top. Her sandles were done up and hug snugly to her feet. Her curly blond hair reached the middle of her back. she was nervous taking a strand she began to curl it around her finger.

Jellas walked around the beareu aimlessly. Nothing big had happened today. No missions yet. not even any visits from new test dummies. There was nothing going on! Then she remembered something. Wasn't there supposed to be a new girl coming in? Yes. there was! She quickly made her way to the entrance elevator, hoping she hadn't missed the new girl's arrival. She smiled. There was the girl, descending on the platform. Jellas walked closer to the elevator and placed a hand on her hip, waiting for the platform to stop before her. She looked beside her at the fellow agents - although you couldn't tell that they did the same job. They wore black suits, while Jellas favored a black, form-fitting shirt with a trashy white heart on it. She had jean shorts that were fringed on the edges. She also wore small, black boots with knee socks.
"Sup?" she said to one of the men. He just nodded at her and turned his attention back to the elevator. Jellas shook her head and also directed her attention to the elevator. "Hey, new girl!" she shouted at the moving platform. "Welcome to the Beareu of Paranormal Research and Defense! We're glad to have a new member of the team!" Just then the platform came to a stop before her. This girl had blonde, curly hair. She also had a purple tank-top and ripped jeans. The jeans were what Jellas liked most about the outfit. She looked down at the girl's sandals and smirked. She might not want to wear those here! she thought. "Sup?" she said holding out her hand. "I'm Jellas. Glad to meet you."

Isabella Cross
Taking a step off the platform she smiled. "Hi" She began her mood was cheerful and optimistic. "I'm Isabella, Bella for short" she said shaking the girls hand. Shoving her hands in her pockets she looked around. Poking her head around a corner and looked around. "I'm curious where would i be sleeping?" Bella asked already wondering how long wit will taker to learn the where everything was. Bella was at times an extrovert although it really depended on her mod. for most of the time she is an extrovert. but their are those times when she is an introvert.
Not really seeing anyone else who had came to meed her Bella took an immediate liking to Jellas. "Is it just you?" she asked, realizing that her question was slightly vague she re-phrased. "Before me, were you the only one on the team?" she asked her head now slightly tilted to one side. Everything was shiny, it made Bella want to touch it.
Yes, Bella was briefed but she was only told about the B.P.R.D. it's self. She heard a little bit about a red man but she didn't listen much. Bella was happy and a little out-going, She would be up for just about anything.

"Nice to meet you, Bella," she said, letting go of her hand. She rested her hands at her side then placed her right hand on her hip. "I'm curious," Bella said, "where would I be sleeping?" "We'll find you a room," she assured Bella. "Though I should say...not everyone's room is a palace like mine." Jellas did have a larger room than most of the agents. Mostly because of all of her belongings. Hellboy had a room similar in size to hers, but he also had tons of cats that lived with him...and Liz. She thought about Liz's pregnancy for a breif moment. I wonder what heir kids'll look like, she thought, looking up at the ceiling.
"Am I the only one?" she repeated the question. She laughed lightly. "Of course not! There's lots of others! There's Abe, Liz..." She paused for a moment and smiled. "...and Hellboy. Most of us call him Red though." She sighed. "He's got a lot of cats! It'll probably be awhile before he lets you pet them. He loves those cats." She paused. Jellas smiled and looked at Bella. "So," she said. "What brings you to the B.D.R.P.? What gift do you have?"

Isabella Cross Laughing lightly she spoke is a somewhat of a hushed voice. Maybe she didn't want passing agents to think that she is a freak or something. "I've been told I'm an elemental." she said her lips coiled up into a crooked smile. Tugging on the seam on her shirt, she felt a little nervous. where was everyone else? were they waiting to come out of the walls and scare her? Looking at the walls she cringed at it's reflectiveness. "So, Big Red huh?" she spoke. it was really a rhetorical question mostly speaking to herself. A barrage of question flooded Bella's mind. "Where do i train? Will i have a Partner? Will I go on missions?" Her questions came out so fast Bella hadn't time to get her emotions under control. the problem with Bella's powers is that then ever her emotion get out of control good or bad, her powers are a force to reckon with, that is why she needs patience and training. Twirling her hair around her finger she looking down the hallway that was behind Jellas. "where is everyone?" she asked looking slightly confused and tapping her sandled foot on the cool ground. "Guess i wasn't that welcomed" she forced a laugh to hide her twinge of sadness. great now already in a new place she felt like the biggest freak in the world. placing her fingernail in her mouth she began to lightly chew it. It was a nervous habit of hers, Seriously where was everyone. 'Maybe..' Isabella thought that she was at the wrong agency.

"An elemental, huh?" she said. "That's cool. I can generate and control ice." She formed a ball of ice in her hand and showed it to Bella. Then she just threw it behind her, over her shoulder. She heard a man slip and fall over it and snickered. THen Bella asked tons of questions really fast. "Woah!" she said. "Slow down! We have a training area. You'll get to go on missions and will be assigned a partner to go with you on that mission. You might even have more than one partner. It depends on how difficult the mission is." Bella then asked where everyone was and commented that she wasn't that welcomed.
Jellas laughed. "Don't take it too personal, Bella," she said. "Red's probably lifting weights in his room or something. Abe is usually in the library...in his tank. Abe's a fish dude, by the way." She paused. "And Liz... Well, she took some time off to deal with the pregnancy. There's two babies and they're gonna be a handful!" She paused and looked around. Even though Hellboy spent most of his time in his room he always came to check out new people. "Red should be coming," she said. "He never misses a noob's arrival." She turned to Bella. "No offense."
Just then Jellas spotted someone she knew. He was walking down the hall towards them, his eyes glued to the floor. What was his name again? Oh well, she thought. Let's just stick with codenames. "Yo, Emo!" she yelled, waving her arms above her head. "Come meet the new girl!"

Derek was walking down the hallway, his head facing the ground as always. He'd heard about a new member of the team arriving today, but wasn't in a rush to meet her. He just walked as slow as possible until he heard Jellas call his... codename. She yelled for him to come meet the new girl, who he could see standing next to her. She looked really young, although Derek wasn't one to talk. He was ninteen on the verge of twenty. That was considered somewhat young by the B.D.R.P. Reluctantly he sped up and stopped next to Jellas.
He smiled shyly at the new girl. "Um hi," he said softly. He wasn't god at introductions. He wouldn't have to introduce himself though. Jellas would probably take over if he started to anyway. He just shoved his hands in his pockets and slouched a bit. Jellas didn't say anymore so he decided to give the girl his name. "I'm Derek," he said. "Derek Tomland." He didn't hold out his hand for a handshake. He didn't like handshakes. They were almost awkward for him. Especially the first time he met Jellas.
He remembered the handshake perfectly. Jellas had held her hand out for him to shake it and he reluctantly took it. Her hand was as cold as ice... but why wouldn't it be? She did have the power to generate it. Though when he shivered with chills, Jellas had laughed. She told him about her powers and that she had purposley froze her hand over as a joke. Derek didn't laugh, but he did find it somewhat funny. Derek smirked at his flashback.

Bella stared at Jellas's hand in awe. "thats cool" she said wanting to touch it, but soon as it had formed she threw it over her shoulder. seeing the man fall she laughed rather loud. Getting up he glared at her. Bella put her hand over her mouth to control her laughter. Looking back at Jellas she smiled and giggled again. "I don't really know what i can do. I've been to afraid to try." Bella admitted. Bella would be dreading and looking forward to that day. She knows she can to big things...but she's just too scared. Seeing another figure join them Bella smiled. "Hi I'm Isabella, Bella for short" she smile, and just about to but she noticed that he had his hands shoved deep into his pockets so hers played with the fibers that were coming loose on a rip in her jeans. Now boredom setting into her now settled nerves. Bella looked around. "So where is this library?" Bella asked, she was a really big bookworm.

Jellas smirked at Derek's discomfort then turned her attention back to Bella. "The library?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. She shook herhead. Great, she thought. A bookworm. "It's down the hall, to the left, through the double doors, to your right, and then the first door on your left." She paused and went over her directions again in her head. "That was confusing wasn't it?" she asked, although it was obvious it was. "Just follow me," she said, gesturing to her as she began walking down the hall. "You too Derek." She couldn't just leave him alone. He spent too much time moping around the bureau. "Hey," she said. "This'll be your chance to meet Abe!"

Derek nodded at Bella. He wanted to say the least possible words. He had just met this girl and was pretty shy around new people. Bella asked Jellas where the library was. Jellas gave her detailed but very confusing directions. Derek scratched his head then stuffed that hand back in his pocket. Jellas then decided she would lead Bella to the library. She told him to come as well. He shrugged and then followed her. Jellas told Bella that she would be able to meet Abe then. Derek's eyes widened.
He'd gotten used to the creatures around the bureau, but not completely. Definitely not Hellboy. Hellboy's tough attitude scared and intimidated him. When he arrived as a new member of the bureau Hellboy was the first person he'd spotted. How couldn't you spot him? He was a tall, muscular, bright red... thing! now onder there were so many Hellboy sightings before the Golden Army scandal! Well... that and Hellboy's egotistic nature. He shook his head when he remembered that Hellboy had once signed an autograph for a fan.

'Abe' she thought Hearing Jellas's directions Bella did knot know wat she was talking about. Giggling she responded. "yea you might just wanna shot me" Turning around she let jellas lead the way. Bella should have been paying attention to where she was going but she figured that she would be here for a while and had enough time to figure out where everything was.
Bella turned left then right soon she came to big almost wooden looking doors. Taking a small intake of breath she smiled and pushed open the doors. Noticing the tank she didn't take note of it what Bella was looking at was the walls of books. "I've never seen so many book in my life!" she exclaimed.
Letting her excitement take control of her for a moment she didn't notice the water in the tank began to rise and lap up against the top of the tank. Running to a book case she pulled a leather bound book it looked old. Slowly she ran her hand across it to get what ever dust was on it off. Golden letters appeared. 'Shakespeare's Macbeth' Squealing with delight she hugged the book. Turning around to show her new friends she saw the water rising out from the tank. Gasping she calmed her self. closing her eyes she concentrated on her heartbeat. It eventually slowed and the water splashed back into the tank. Letting out a sigh she pulled the book closer to her chest.

Jellas led her to the enormous library. "I've never seen so many books in my life!" Bella exclaimed. "Yep," Jellas said. "There's a lot of them." When Bella got excited so did the water in Abe's tank. "Woah!" Jellas said. "Bella, you might want to calm down a bit!" The water returned to normal when Bella calmed down. Jellas sighed and wiped her forehead. She looked around and her eyes settled back onto the tank. "Yo, Abe!" she said, walking towards the tank. "We have a new recruit! Come say hi!" She smiled and leaned against the wall next to the tank. She couldn't wait to see the look on this girl's face when Abe showed himself. There's nothing like meeting a fish dude!
The first time she'd met Abe he'd scared the crap out of her! It was creepy seeing a fish dude for the first time. She'd never seen anything like him before in her life so she was surprised. She almost screamed when she met him, but she forced herself to hold it in. It would be very rude to scream and it would probably lower his self-esteem. It was no use though. Abe knew how she felt. You could say that his hand looked into your soul. That's how Jellas referred to it.

((I'm allowed to god mod my own characters!)) When the water started to churn in Abe's tank, Derek's eyes widened. Bella was doing this! It was a little frightening, but also cool. Jellas told Bella to calm down and then the water in Abe's tank settled. Jellas then called to Abe to meet Bella. His eyes widened once more. Even though he'd been at the bureau for awhile, he still felt a little weird around the creatures. Abe was really nice, but it was hard for Derek told hold a conversation with a fish. He tried to slip out of the room quietly, but Jellas caught his arm. "You're not going anywhere," she said.
Derek reluctantly stayed in the room waiting for Abe to pop up into view.

No matter the numerous times he had walked the length of the library, there was always something new to look over. The amphibian man padded barefoot across the expansive room, several books tucked into the curl of his right arm. His left hand trailed across the spines, whispering ghosts of voices and thoughts swirled around him and he paused, a slender finger resting atop a single book. Pulling it free he quickly read the title and author. “Henry David Thoreau,” the lilting tenor of his voice echoed faintly, absorbed quickly by the thick wall of literature. “Civil Disobedience.” Curling his head, the gills along his thin neck fluttered as he took a slow even breath. He remembered that one, an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state. The Princess would surely enjoy reading this one.
Tucking it with the ever growing pile of book, he soon had a stack of them leaning against his chest and nearly to his chin before deciding he needed to set them down and find a few more. Perhaps he was overtly excited that the elven princess would be staying with him. Them! He said them, right? Abe glided across the room, his tiger stripped body gleaming under the low light as he meandered outside of his tank in only his black shorts and the skin some deity gave him. He had just stepped behind the massive fireplace, hidden behind a single marble statue of an Angelic warrior holding a sword, when he heard the large golden door open followed by voices.
His eyes blinked, protected by the obscenely large contacts as he turned to see who had come in. Through the flickering fire, he could make out three people but the heat of the flames kept him from looking too long. Perhaps Nuala had come by for a visit. Thin lips curled slightly in the vague semblance of a smile and he quickly juggled the pile of his book in his arms and strolled out from behind his hiding place.
“Your highness, I – Oh!” Abraham paused at the last step down from the fireplace at the group that had faced his tank. A sweep of his eyes brought no sign of the princess and he couldn’t help but feel a little dejected. It showed in the drop of his shoulders before he took in the unfamiliar body. Jellas and Derek he had both met and conversed with a few times but the third individual was deftly new. We’re they getting a new agent today? Neither Director Manning or Dr. Krauss had not been by his tank all morning and that seemed awfully unusual. Curling his head, he raised one free hand stretching the thin membrane under his arm and gave a small wave. He curled his toes into the lush carpet before taking the last step down, nearly losing his load of books in the process. In one quick graceful move, he bent backwards to shift the center gravity and twisted to keep them from sliding off one another and paused again.
“Um, hello.”

Isabella Cross
Tearing her eyes from reading her book, Her ears registered a different voice that seemed to be addressing her. Her eyes wide her mouth dropped slightly. Once could tell that she was holding down whatever emotion that she was feeling at the moment. Her eyes changed color from the obvious frustration she was feeling from keeping whatever noise her voice was going to make when she opened her mouth.Hery eye color when from their natural watery blue, to an earthy Green, then to a calm Yellow then To a fiery red. closing her eyes she cleared her throat. Walking up to him her book stil tightky gripped in her hand. Bella waved. "hi, I'm Isabella Cross, Bella for short." the words came out mechanically as she recited her little introduction speech. Bella reached out her hand for him to shake.
