Disclaimer: I don't own The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
I just recently saw this movie, so forgive me if I make mistake with character and such. I do plan to see it again. But anyway, I love to create my own characters that I think can fit in to an already existing story. That's not all I write about but I do find it fun to do.
Since LXG focused a lot on character I thought it would be fun to add my own. She's just something I cooked up shortly. I'm actually making her up more as I go along. Still, our little Nancy here is my own character. That's the only thing I own.
Enjoy!
It was shortly after the attack on the Nautilus that the rest of the League noticed the captain of the ship, Captain Nemo, was pre-occupied with a certain part of the ship.
He'd talk with his crew in their native tongue, disappear often and told the guests on the Nautilus of a room that they were forbidden to enter. While the League respected
his word they grew curious nonetheless. It seemed there was one part that needed constant attention, despite the fact that the Nautilus was damaged heavily and desperately needed repair. However, Nemo's behaviour soon passed and his attention was focused on their mission once again. Until one certain day...
Nemo was going over some plans with Allan about what to do about Dorian Gray and their mysterious "Phantom", when a crew member of his came up to his captain.
He gave him some sort of look, and said something in their native tongue. Allan could tell that Nemo knew what his officer wanted. Nemo looked pleased and eager. He turned to Allan.
"We'll quickly finish these plans. After that I have something I'd like to show you and the rest of the League. I think you'd be most impressed. It's far beyond my Nautilus and my automobile."
He spoke with such confidence and mystery. Allan said nothing. He'd rather deal with their main mission. Even though reluctant to take it in the first place, the idea had warmed up to him after awhile. He was ready for another adventure and that's all he wanted to focus on. As admirable as Nemo was for his genius, and even though his inventions had helped them incredibly along the way, he could do without an introduction to another. Regardless if it helped them succeed or not. Allan looked down ay the map on the table and spoke again of what actions to take against Dorian and The Phantom.

It was around 9:00 pm when Captain Nemo gathered the rest of the League. He had something important to tell them. Some were nervous, such as Henry Jekyll. That seemed normal behaviour for him though. However, most were anxious and curious. Mina cocked her head to show that she was interested. Tom expressed his curiosity and excitement.
"What is it this time?" he asked. "Something that can fly? Some kind of weapon? Well? What is it?"
"Patience," replied Nemo softly. He sighed and then spoke again. "I'll try to keep this short since I can tell not everyone wants to be here," he shot a glance at Allan. "What I have goes far beyond the greatness of my automobile, and yes, even my Nautilus. It took decades to build. My father started on it and I am now proud to say that I have finished it. I now present to you what I call a time machine."
Nemo threw back a curtain to reveal a spherical machine. It had a shield of thick glass which one could use to see inside the machine. There was a seat and surrounded by it was knobs and toggles. The League spread out to have a closer look at this "time machine".
Tom was blinking rapidly, obviously either doubting what Nemo had created or actually believing it was, indeed, a time machine and awe-struck at the idea at the same time.
The expression on Mina's face was difficult to figure out. Nemo gathered that she didn't believe it but that didn't deter her from getting a closer glimpse. Inside she noticed that in front of the chair there was a series of numbers and a small map. She gathered that one would choose the year with that. The purpose for the map she had yet to determine.
Henry Jekyll blinked a few times as well but not as much as Tom. His mouth was open as if he wanted to say something, but obviously reluctant to do so. His reaction was hard to figure out as well. Unlike Tom and Mina he didn't circle it looking at it with more detail, but one could tell he had an interest in it nonetheless.
Allan stood still with his arms crossed.
"You can't expect us to believe that," he said gruffly.
"I assure it works," Nemo said confidently. "One could use this to go to the past or the future."
"How do we know it works?" Allan asked. The sarcasm in his comment was hidden.
"It does work, and I'll show you," Nemo smiled.
One of his crew members opened the hatch to inside the machine. Tom and Mina backed away as it opened. The officer flipped a few switches as he leaned over. He randomly set the set of numbers to a year. It was a year that was in the future; to the year 2003. The map's purpose was to set coordinates as to where specifically to go. He chose some part in North American, on the west coast. But as his arm reached back from setting the year and place he hit another switch by accident. His eyes grew wide and he froze. Nemo knew what he had done and he gained a similar expression as the one of his officer.
"Stand back!" he quickly shouted to everyone, and ran backward. Everyone followed as they didn't know what to expect.
A blinding, white flash filled the room. Crew members shouted in surprise and in fear. But after the flash, and once everyone had regained full vision, they realized the time machine's seat was not empty. A limp body lay on it.
Everyone's mouths dropped open at the sight of the body. This person was unlike anyone in this time has seen before. It was that of a young female's, probably just undert twenty. One could tell it was a female with their bust and curvy body. However, her hair was short and it spiked out. It was black as a raven. She had two metal beads that stuck out of her right nostril and under her lower lip. She also had a metal bar that went right through the cartilage of her left ear. The ends too had metal beads.
She wore a strapless, red dress. It looked as if it were torn since the bottom did not end straight. Part of the dress's hem started really high, near her hip. It went diagonally down till her right knee, where the other half of the bottom hem ended. She wore black, knee length boots that laced up. It looked like something a man would wear.
Clutched in her hand was a small bag. It was black and just had one strap. It obviously was to go over the shoulder.
The girl didn't react as it looked like she was unconscious. Her head was rest against the top of the chair. The League and other crew members drew in closer to have a better look at this girl.
"This can also bring people from the past or from the future. It depends on who was at the set coordinates." Nemo whispered. He had to break the uncomfortable silence.
Suddenly the girl's eyes flashed open. They were green. She gasped as well. It looked as if she had just woken up from a nightmare. She breathed heavily as she looked around. Her vision wasn't that clear.
"Are you all right?" Nemo asked slowly. He didn't want to frighten the girl.
She leaned forward. Her left arm rested against the chair as her right hand supported her head. She was a dizzy and needed to wait until her vision was clearer.
When it was she slowly looked up. The first people she saw were the rest of the League. Captain Nemo, Allan Quatermain, Tom Sawyer, Henry Jekyll and Mina Harker. They didn't look like normal creatures to her, what with their attire and all. Her lips finally parted and she spoke.
"What the fuck is going on?"

A/N: Well, that's it for the first chapter. I hope to have the second one out really soon since I know what I'm going to do up till then.
Anyway, for the record, my title is off the name of a song. I'm honestly not sure who it's by. I got it off the Donnie Darko soundtrack. It reminded me of my character, Nancy, so I'm using that as my title.
