A Complicated Business

[Beta Ray Bill]

In certain situations, this would be a very weird thing to be in a city overhyped and doped up on joy. A city of smiles unaware and ignorant of the real world and its problems.

Hellboy took a small breath before covering his mouth again with the brim of his trench coat.

"Jeez, what kind of a government poisons the air of their cities."

Vision surveyed the area to make sure no had followed them into the alleyway.

"Answer: forms of tyrannical governments, for example, North Korea drug their citizens to make sure they will obey commands."

Hellboy gave a light chuckle under his coat.

"Wow you're a walking encyclopedia and I was beginning to think  you were only a robot."

Vision just gave Hellboy a stare, the sarcastic joke completely went over him.

"I think I have something that should protect us from the air, so uh don't be alarmed by the charm there harmless." 

Vision gave a confused look. "So you are able to cast magic?"

Hellboy reached into to his deep trench coats pockets and pulled out an odd looking neckless with an ornament shaped like a star.

"No, I don't know spells like a wizard if that's what your thinking, I understand occult spells stuff a necromancer or a witch and in this case, a Vatican priest would know, and before you say something about me being dangerous theses are charms, not curses." 

Frisk nodded and stepped close to Hellboy she didn't seem to be afraid of HB and of course, why shouldn't big Red only wanted to do what was right and wouldn't harm anybody unless he had to or angered him.  Vision hesitated before he got close to him on the other hand, he was still going to have to prove himself to earn his trust. The large half-demon began his chant the neckless began to glow and hum.

"Per virtutem divinam ex malo deféndat auras." The neckless's glow intensified and its hum turned into a whine before it abruptly stopped.

"Alright that does it you can stop holding your breath now," Hellboy said putting the charm back into his pocket. "You have three hours before that wears off so I'd suggest we do what we need to do with speed."  

Frisk gave a big gasp of air and Hellboy took his coats brim from under his mouth.

"So what's our plan Vis for saving Cap and Marcus," Frisk said pulling out her heart shaped soul.

Vision folded his arms and paused to think for a moment.

"The most logical thing that has happened to Rogers and Marcus is that the local government has imprisoned them. I would suggest that we would find them in townsperson, I will also state that it is most likely guarded in this case we might have to resort to violence."

A black bird flew straight into Hellboy flapping its wings and crowing at him, the half-demon tried to swat it away.

"Stupid bird leave me alone, shoo!"  The black bird squawked at him and flew high into the air circling the group before landing on a trash can beside them.

"I think it wants us to follow him." Frisk got close to the bird and it started to fly into the city streets. "Come on follow me!" The little girl darted into the streets after it, Vision quickly followed her, Hellboy just stood in place and followed and pulled out a cigar and let it.

"So now we're for birds, Huh, that's a first."  Red darted after the duo trying not to crash into the drugged overjoying citizens who were now beginning to look like zombies, something Hellboy did know how to deal with. the bird flew over a large building that had guards patrolling around it.  Hellboy grabbed Frisk on the back of her shirt and yanked her back, Vision had stopped too.

"Hey! whats that for!" She yelled as she was put back on the ground. HB pointed at the building.

"That's the prison that bolt head was talking about," Hellboy said stepping forward trying to see how many guards there were in the prison.

"Oh."

HB turned to Vision who was doing the exact same thing he was doing.

"Hey, Sparky what do you suggest we do?" Hellboy asked pulling out his revolver and checking its ammo. Vision turned his head in response.

"I first would suggest that Frisk stay here from the danger,"  Frisk shouted in protest. "But I want to go help."

Red knelt down to her level and gave a smile "What we're about to do is not something that a child needs to do."

Vision put his hand on Hellboy right should.

"Alright, I'll attack the building from the giving you time to get into the building from there you need to free Captian America and Marcus."  Vision stepped away from them and readied himself.

"Frisk if any of the town's militia come after you, try to hide or defined your self." 

Hellboy raised his revolver to his head and clicked its hammer.

"Time to kick some ass."

Vision launched himself into the air and blasted his heat his heat vision at the building. most of the guards started shooting at him trying their best to bring him to the ground. Hellboy charged for the building. Two of the guards noticed him and open fired, their aim wasn't all that good missing every shot. Hellboy fired his oversized revolver into the militia man on his left sending him crashing into the wall behind him, the other responded with more gunfire. The half-demon ducked as bullets whistled past his and tore at his trench coat. Hellboy raised his large stone right hand and uppercutted the man square in the chest sending him into the air and crashing hard to the ground.

Red ran for the front door and smashed it open with the Right Hand of Doom. Three more guards jumped at him inside. HB picked up the fist one threw him at one of his partners he then shot at the third one blowing out his kneecap. The demon proceeded through the building beating anyone that got in his way. He stopped near a door that had a sign on it that said "Prison cells". Hellboy grabbed the door and punched it open and darted through the cells. Almost all of them were empty except for one. Hellboy stopped near the one that wasn't empty and smashed the cell door open.

"You Marcus?"

The man was looked up at Hellboy and forced himself to stand up.

 "Yes, I'm Marcus. Things took a turn for the worst and we are here, have seen Cap?"

Hellboy shook his head "I figured he would be in here with you."

"No the mayor of this town took him for questioning an hour ago, we need to find him."
