Liz sighs tiredly. She knows that Hellboy was protective of her - he always was, and chances are he always will be. And really, it's something she'll always have issues with. Not because she doesn't appreciate it, but because a lot of the time she still feels like that scared little girl. Liz could spend years making progress, only to have somebody say or do something that makes her feel like she's still the same. Like she's just as vulnerable now as she was back then.

She hates that feeling.

"Yeah, all right. But we've already got enough to worry about."
