Patience wasn't one of Hellboy's strong suits and though he'd never really admit it, neither was solitude. He'd already befriended a couple of stray cats but he didn't have electricity (which meant no TV) and he was fairly stuck inside during the day unless he wanted to chance having Myers bitch at him. It wasn't so much Myers bitching that kept him inside though. He knew if he attracted too much attention they'd just send people to get him. While they couldn't make him do much of anything, they could make his life difficult. In any case, the sum of the situation was that just after midnight the night after he'd met Jill, he was standing on the sidewalk across from the Hyperion hotel. It hadn't been hard to figure out or at least approximate which room she was staying in. She gave him tingles that were different from the feeling he got from the vampire. He waited across the sidewalk, shifting from foot to foot for a while (which is to say about five minutes. See the patience comment) then crossed the street. He could be relatively quiet when he wanted to be so the leap he took to the third story window was fairly silent. He caught the window ledge with his right hand, dangling there for a moment before he tapped on the window with his left hand.

"Resourceful." Jill commented. "So you're pretty much invulnerable, huh?"

"Almost but not quite," Hellboy answered. "I nearly got torn apart by a whole slew of demons once. Nearly collapsed from blood lost another time and if you can behead me, I'm probably not goin' to make it. Pretty much anythin' else, I can survive."

He tilted his head and looked at Jill a moment. "What about slayers? I've heard they're pretty tough."

"Tough but vulnerable. I mean I'm not fire or bullet or sword through the heart proof. But I do heal fast if its something minor." Jill explained.

"Luckily the powers that be gave us reflexes like crazy, high speeds and a hell of a punch. Slayers die all the time though."

She pulled her lower lip through her teeth. "That's why we were moved here. Something big and bad is after all of us and wants us all dead. They bombed a castle in Scotland and killed hundreds of Slayers. So we've all been split up into smaller groups so they casn't get so many at once."

Hellboy nodded at her explanation. "Makes sense," he turned the cigar stub in his mouth for a moment. "Well I got your back," he told her.

"Is that official or something? I mean did you have to think about it?" Jill wondered.

Hellboy shrugged. "Didn't have to think much about it. It's official. I like you and you're nice to me. I don't know why but you are. Figure the least I can do is watch your back when I know things are after you."

Jill lifted her shoulders in a graceful shrug and pulled her feet up into the couch. "Most of my life I never got a chance, so I think most good people in life deserve one... even demons." She looked over to him and gave him a small, closed mouthed smile.

Hellboy thought about it and shrugged. "You know, I kinda feel the same way. Sometimes though, stupid people reaaaally make me test that theory."

"Do you come across a lot of stupid people?" Jill asked.

"People in general are stupid," Hellboy answered. "They see me chasin' a demon and by the time they react to demon, the one I'm chasin' is past them an' I'm on it's tail so they decide to hit me with the fire extinguisher or what have ya. Ain't like it hurts too much but by the time I get around 'em, tryin' not to hurt 'em and go after the demon. It's long gone and onto hurtin' someone else. They make my job harder 'cause they don't process everythin' they see. Just the one big thing they see. Big red guy. Must be bad. They forget the big red guy is chasin' somethin' that in general, looks equally as bad as me. So yeah. I run across a lot of stupid people."
