"Whoa," Nancy Thompson said as she came into view of Hellboy. It wasn't a fearful statement, however. She was more in awe of him than anything. Hellboy liked kids. They didn't have the jaded preconceived notions of how the world was supposed to be. There tended to be less fear when dealing with him. There was still a wonder in their spirits that allowed them to take him for what he was, rather than what they wanted him to be. "You're kinda badass."

"More than kinda," he smiled wryly. "Sorry for all the secrecy and taking you out of your place. I know tonight, and the past few days, wasn't easy for you."

This girl, in the span of a few days, had lost her best friend and her boyfriend. Still, Hellboy had to admit she was holding up better than anyone should have been in her predicament. She looked more defiant than anything.

"Yea, well, when you friend said you had a way to kill this fucker, I wasn't going to pass it up," she stood with clenched fists. "This is all my parents' fault. Well, all our parents. And now Glen and Tina are dead. If Freddy's gonna come after me too, I want to fry the bastard."

Oh yea, this was Hellboy's kind of kid.

"Kid, I think we're gonna get along," Red chuckled. "Wanna know the plan?"

"Hell yea," she nodded.

Liz entered the room, a small shack, not unlike Freddy's, on the school grounds. It was musty and dirty, but away from a populated center, which would be necessary to complete the plan.

From his belt, Hellboy pulled a small vial, "This is a potion of shared dreaming. You and I will drink it, and we'll enter each others' dreams. This will be crucial, as Freddy is definitely going to come after you, and I'll be there to give him hell. Once we interact with him, Liz here is going to wake us up. Freddy's powers and kills clearly indicate he strattles the line between the real world and the dream world. Because of that, if I wake up holding onto him in the dream, I can pull him back into the real world."

"Yea, I did it with his hat," Nancy nodded. This chick was tough. "But what happens when we bring him back?"

"That's where I come in." Nancy turned to Liz, who was now completely covered in pyrokinetic flame. She burned a luminescent blue in front of the two of them. "My fire is hot. It's melted away worse than Freddy Kruger before. He won't stand a chance."

"We'll run, lock Liz and Freddy in the shack," Hellboy nodded. "Liz will send him back to Hell, and we get to watch a pretty light show. I wish I had my Pink Floyd records."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Nancy asked.

Hellboy shrugged and uncorked the potion and took a swig before handing it to her, "See you on the other side, kid."
