[ It's Hellboy's fears confirmed in the careful way she describes the power that exists in her beyond the simple reach of her hand, the concern that he had upon first speaking to her sketched out in her soft voice. But within that fear, he has to admit that she and Jacob would have every right to feel the same way about him, if they knew the full extent of possibility wrapped up in his right hand, and it's with a grim acknowledgement of their shared potential that he studies his two companions. ]

Then it can't come to that. Right? [ He glances beyond her to Jacob. ] We'll make sure it won't.

[Jacob nods, meeting Hellboy's look. Jacob's seen Gilia's power, the spirit of the sea that exists in her, part of her very soul. He knows it's powerful, knows it's deadly, but he doesn't fear her.]

It won't come to that. And as I see it? We can't be fighting each other when the city is against us. We keep each other safe, we watch out for each other.

[ She shakes her head, a simple aggreement to that. ]

No, I never want it to. My power is a gift and one I want to use for the good of those around me, never their pain. But I know I must never let any pain I feel be known, the consequences of it...

[ Far outweighed any slight or broken heart. ]

... I would much rather do as you say, and work with you.
