AN- Hello everyone! I'm so happy to be writing another fan fic! Don't worry, I'll try not to neglect my song fic- as if I would. But anyway, here's the 'fresh meat', I hope you like it. This was a random idea I had, and in a maths lesson me and a friend came up with many ideas for future chapters. I'm having to write an essay on Jekyll and Hyde in English, so I should get started on the rest of my work for that after I do this chapter.P.S- In blade 2, Tony Curran is the one with long hair isn't he? I'm pretty sureI recognise that accent!

Nemo entered the library where the rest of the league of extraordinary gentlemen were waiting for him.
''Gentlemen- and Mina- I have finished work on a new project, and would be grateful if you would watch the first test run on the machine.''
''Sounds interesting. So what hav' working on then Nemo?'' asked Skinner, leaning against the bookcase. ''Follow me and I'll show you.''
The group followed the captain into the less grand part of the ship, where most of the crew worked. They came to a large room, furnished only with a desk, and a slate board on the wall, both covered in diagrams and calculations. Standing on the other side of the room stood a machine, about the size of a wardrobe. Attached to one side was a panel with a few buttons and dials on it. Pipes ran from the back of the machine.
''What is it?'' asked Mina, moving closer to the machine.
''It's a time machine. As I said before, it hasn't been tested yet, but I won't risk putting one of us through it. I do think it should be able to transport an object through though.''
''To where?''
''Another place in time.''
''Is that possible Nemo? It seems…''
''Farfetched?'', the captain found the word Jekyll was looking for and he nodded, ''Yes, it does seem so, but I haven't tested it yet- I'm completely sure it will work.'' Tom joined Mina by the machine and looked at the panel. ''What exactly are you gonna put in here?''
''You if you touch any of those buttons.'' Tom moved his hand away from the control panel. Quatermain turned away from the chalkboard, looking slightly confused. ''How does this machine of yours work?'' ''Well…'' Tom sighed slightly as Nemo began to explain the science behind it- and son began to fidget. He wanted to press a button or turn a dial so badly- his curiosity had always been a problem. 'I'll find ou what happens later, so I'm not gonna touch anything.' He thought to himself, glancing away from the panel.
Skinner, bored and confused by the explanation, slipped over to Tom and nudged him. ''Psst- are you thinking what I'm thinking?'' The thief whispered. ''Well, yeah, but I'm not touching anything.'' Skinner grinned, and replied ''Aaah, go on Sawyer, just push one little button…'', Tom shook his head, ''alright then. I will.'' Skinner pushed a button and turned a dial before Sawyer had reacted, grabbing his arm as he let go of the dial.

The machine began to glow slightly, and started humming. ''SKINNER! SAWYER!''
''Uh oh…''they muttered in unison, and both ran and hid behind Mina as Nemo glared towards them. She rolled her eyes. ''Obviously you boys don't know the meaning of 'look, but don't touch'?'' she said, turning her gaze to the still humming machine.'

''He did it! He did it!-'', Tom paused as he pointed at skinner, realising how immature he sounded, ''Ow!''. Skinner elbowed him, apparently not bothered about looking immature. The machine suddenly quietened. A little trail of smoke crept out from under the door. ''Is there anything in there?'' said Dorian, looking on with more interest than he had felt earlier. Nemo approached the machine and opened the door- to reveal two boxes. The square box had a glass screen which was pitch black. On top of it rested a much, much smaller rectangular box covered in buttons.

''And what would ya call that?'' Tom moved forward and picked up the remote, which Nemo took from him. Quatermain picked up the T.V and carried it ovet to the desk (after nudging it with his foot when everyone was watching Nemo examine the remote). Dorian looked at them all as they stood around the box. ''Well, lets see what it does.'' He pushed a button and the screen flickered into a picture- of Lawrence Lowelyn Bowen- the league were watching changing rooms!

Mina smiled. ''He looks like you Dorian-'' ''No he doesn't!'' Dorian sniffed, giving Lawrence a dirty look. ''How is there a person in there?'' skinner cried, tapping the TV. Tom pressed a button on the remote and the screen jumped to a cartoon. Skinner and Tom couldn't help but laugh as a green haired person with wings said something very stupid. ''Well, this is an entertainment device- but I don't find it very entertaining, so if you'll excuse me…'' He left the room. With green eyes fixed to the screen, Tom murmured ''can we keep it a bit longer?''

''Well, I may take it apart later- but you can use it for a bit longer''. The league left the room except for the spy and the thief, who remained watching the television screen….

Mina and Quatermain had both agreed to check on Tom and Skinner, since they had been 'missing' for at least two hours. ''Well they're still here- and look hypnotised…''Mina said, looking at the two of them. They sat on the floor in front of the desk with grins on their faces, laughing at the action on the screen. She steped over Tom's legs and stood in front of the screen. Tom blinked, as if not sure she was real. ''Hey, Mina luv, would you mind stepping over a bit?'' said skinner trying to see around her but failing. '' Yeah, we can't see the box-'' ''The idiot box?'' She crossed her arms. ''Er yeah, whatever you say- could you move now?'' She narrowed her blue eyes, glaring at Tom. ''Please?'' The glare moved to skinner, who smiled, trying to charm her out of the way. ''This thing is going back where it came from.''

''Not yet!''

''Just a bit longer!''

''You've been for hours-'' Quatermain began, interrupted by them both- ''So? It isn't hurting anyone…''

''I'll bet the light is hurting your eyes.'' Jekyll said from the doorway. ''Nuh-uh!'' Tom replied, rubbing his eyes vigorously. ''Oi!'' Quatermain picked up the T.V and headed for the machine- when Tom and Skinner both grabbed a leg each. ''Get off me you bloody idiots!'' The both stood up and tried to take it- skinner managed to slip it from him as Tom started a tug of war with Mina over the remote. She stepped on his foot, digging in the heel of her boot.

''Ow!''

''Give it here!''

Quatermain watched Skinner heading for the door. ''Do something Jekyll!''

''Erm-''

Having to think quickly, he stuck out his foot and tripped skinner, who managed to catch the T.V as it fell to the floor. As Mina stepped back she fell over Skinner and landed on the floor. He angrily sat up and grabbed a strap hanging from tom's trousers, pulling him to the floor. Jekyll snatched the clicker from him and threw into the machine. Quatermain pulled up the T.V from Skinner's grip (''Noo!'') and placed it in the machine. After Jekyll helped her to stand up she pulled Tom and Skiner up from the floor and over to the machine- by their ears.''Now, which buttons did you press?'' asked the hunter, crossing his arms. ''Er…I really don't remember...OW! ow! ow!'', Mina tightened her grip on Skinners ear, ''Alright, alright! Don't get your knickers in a twist!'' Tom sniggered but stopped as she pulled on his ear. Skinner pressed the button and turned the dial, and the machine started up again. There was a flash of light from inside the machine and the humming stopped. Jekyll opened the door. ''It's gone.'' 'I never got a look at that either!' Hyde grumbled. Skinner and Tom sighed slightly. ''Well, it was fun while it lasted, eh Sawyer?'' Tom nodded in agreement. ''So when's dinner?''

Alan and Jekyll chuckled slightly as Mina rose an eyebrow, and they left the room.
