The first thing that Cato thinks is that "Hellboy" is rad as hell as a name but he doesn't say anything yet; he's still trying to figure the two of them out.
"It can't be my universe's Earth." His expression is hesitant. He considers time travel since he's dealt with it before. "Or at least...not the version of Earth from my time."
That would be on account of it being destroyed.
He's not ignoring the doctor's offer, though, just talking to buy some time to ruminate on it. The scratches on his arm are definitely infected. Maybe it'd be good for a doctor to check it out. Make sure it's minor and that his arm isn't going to fall off.
He has good instincts for vibes. The vibe is different with these guys. Red guy, Hellboy, is upset about what - potentially missing his kids being born if he doesn't get home soon? Ouch. That...that seems real. That means he's a dad - well, a soon-to-be-dad anyway. Very daddish. If he's telling the truth.
And the doctor is... he knows that look. He's seen Gary kneel down in front of him and do his "I really want to help" look so many times. Gary always wants to fix things, he always wants to make sure people are safe.
With Hellboy able to so easily overpower him, he's not sure he could stop them from killing him anyway, so Little Cato reluctantly and very cautiously inches forward, holding out his scratched arm to McCoy, though he looks like he's still agitated enough that he'll dart if spooked. His tail is still flicking around in agitation.
To a doctor's eyes, it'll be obvious the scratches on his forearm are infected but at least not severely. It's still within the realm of him possibly being able to fight it off on his own. And they're only skin-deep.
"Jen, one of the jerks that tried to kill me, she said humans only become 'myths' sometimes. Like it's some kind of thing you can change into? And otherwise it's a lot of different nonhuman kinds of people born as...whatever they are. I think something must have brought us here but the humans think we're whatever these 'myths' are from their world. And the humans definitely don't like them."
Maybe he'd almost died but at least being tossed in with the roomies from hell had netted him some useful info about the place because they'd played fake-nice before trying to eat him.
