Liz was dead. Gone from this world. Saving Hellboy and her friends from death, she sacrificed herself for them. Her friends. Her family.
Hellboy was heartbroken and angry that she left, left him all alone. Sure, he had his dad and his cats, but he...
12 years. 12 fucking years! She left him. Alone. Hellboy couldn't explain it. He blames himself every day for what happened. It was stupid and reckless, but why leave him in the process? She was everything to him. After so long, he can't get over it. Drowning himself once again in hard liquor and beer, Hellboy lies depressed surrounded by his cats as they mew around him. Some were playing with his tail, chasing it as it moves sluggishly around the bed. Today was the 12th anniversary of Liz's death and, like always, he lies in bed, drunk as fuck and looks at the sprawled-out clothes he had in bed next to him. It was Liz's favorite.

Still carried the strong scent of her perfume. Sometimes he could almost see her, lying next to him with that sexy smile of hers. She was his first. One of the first few humans who looked at him and saw more than the demon side of him. She treated him like a person. He sighs heavily, missing her even more.
With a hiccup, he sits up and reaches for his bottle that sat on the nightstand...but with his drunkenness, he was starting to see double. Reaching out and grabbing the bottle, he's met with air. He snorts and laughs as he tries to grab the right bottle.
"Come to papa." He grunts and finally grabs the right bottle but before he could take a swallow, the doors open, and Agent Esteban Ruiz walks inside.
Hellboy looks up and grins, "Ruiz! Hey, buddy. Come on in." He hiccups and holds up his bottle. "Want a drink?"
Ruiz shakes his head, "Not today, HB. Hate to say that it's not a social call. You're being summoned. By him." He says as he puts more of a warning tone at 'him'.
Hellboy's grin fades, "So, he's back?" He grunts and sits up. His kittens jump off the bed and runs to play on their cat trees.
Ruiz sighs, knowing how much issue Hellboy has with Professor Broom, "Yup. Just flew in. He's waiting for you in his study."
Hellboy frowns and sighs in annoyance, "He knows what today is. And he should know that I wanna be left alone. No missions." He grunts and gets up, swaying a little as he walks around his California king bed to gather up Liz's outfit and properly put it up with care.
"HB, you know we all miss her. But it's been 12 years, big guy."
"Like I don't know that?"
Ruiz shifts his feet, "And you know her as well as I do, she wouldn't want this. Come on. Let's see what the old man wants, and we'll hang out before I leave."
Hellboy frowns and turns towards Ruiz, "You got a mission?"
"B.P.R.D. wants me in Tijuana to check out a nest of Vampires. Shouldn't take me too long." Ruiz says and walks towards Hellboy, patting his human arm, "Come on, Big Guy." He turns and walks towards the door.
Hellboy sighs heavily and shuts his trunk that carried Liz's personal items and locks it up. He grunts as he walks out of his room and met with Ruiz and two other agents.
