Summary: Fiona spent her whole life trying to fit in, little did she know she would find kinship among the most unusual of people. And a job that asked her to risk her life regularly.


It had been one of the stormiest nights on record. Lightning had ripped the sky, sending it into a series of brilliant shades of blue and purple. It was the kind of night that no one wanted to be outside in.
But, the next morning, a woman out walking her dog found evidence that someone had been outside that night. Lying on the grass at the side of the road was a small baby, quietly smiling and waving it’s little arms and legs about. The woman lifted the baby in her arms and carried it straight to hospital.
The child was later adopted by a loving couple. A couple who took the baby in and cared for it as if it were their own.
They called her Fiona.

As Fiona grew she had always felt that she didn’t quite belong, the only blue-eyed blonde in a family of brunettes. Their green and brown eyes seeming to shun and accuse. Her struggle to fit in was intensified when, just thirteen years old, she accidentally electrocuted the family’s pet Labrador. After that she became a recluse, keeping herself covered at all times and separating herself from the world - even those she called her family - afraid both of what she might do to them and what they might do to her. She worked with her newfound powers in secret pretending she was a normal human being.

That was until the government approached her and asked her to join their ‘special’ forces.

Disclaimer: You think if I owned Hellboy I’d be writing this? Nope.
Hellboy is the property of the wonderful Mike Mignola and Dark Horse comics and the movie franchise is the property of Warner Brothers. Anything or anyone else you recognise from the Hellboy comics, Hellboy films or B.P.R.D comics are also intellectual property of Mike Mignola and Dark Horse.
On the plus side I own Fiona, Agent Platt, Charlotte Brennan and this work of fiction.
This is a purely fictional piece of work and any similarities to persons real or imagined, living or deceased are unintentional.

Author’s Notes: This fic is set in a slightly AU world. Mostly movie-verse with some comic-verse mixed in for fun this is set six years after the events of film one, except Professor Bruttenholm is still alive and sadly, Liz is no long with us. Also, film two and it's events never happened.

This fic can also be found at Fanfiction.net under the same name.
Also keep an eye out for 'The Icarus Files or scenes you didn't see' - a series of drabbles and ficlets based on scenes either cut from this fic or outside the events of this fic ;)
