League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1940's
The Agent
The OO7 Agent James Bond walked down a dark corridor in MI5's HQ, he was on his way to his boss's office, he'd been told it was an emergency and he was needed by his boss straight away.
James stopped outside the office door, wasting little time he opened it and entered. The room was pitch black Bond felt around the wall for a light switch but couldn't find one, raising his eyebrows he heard a husky voice say "Greetings Mr. Bond, pray do come sit down" suddenly a light came on, James looked in the direction of the voice and his eyes came upon a peculiar sight; A extremely small man, possibly 4-foot-2 with a shaggy beard and a deep scar across his left eye which was pale, white as if it was dead, he was holding a cane for balance and what looked like a document in his free hand. "Who are you?" asked James in a shaky voice "Where is M?" James didn't like the look of the man; he had his hand on his sidearm just in case. If the man was threatened at all he didn't show it, in fact he was smiling "Don't worry M is fine" James didn't believe him "Well, that's one question answered, and what about your name?" Bond said this in an aggressive manner but the man just chuckled "My name is William, William Harrison, but you can call me Bill, everyone does, I'm the Head of the British Special Forces, the division that started the League of the Extraordinary Gentlemen" "League of what?" replied James with a puzzled look, William grinned again and said "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, it was a taskforce first created back in 1898 to combat serious country emergency, it consisted of the well-regarded Chemist Mina Murray, the famous Hunter Allan Quatermain, the-" "Hey!" James interrupted "I've heard of Allan Quatermain, I read all his books when I was a child, he was a hero to me" William continued "As I was saying, the famous Hunter Allan Quatermain, the Scientist-Pirate Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man Hawley Griffin, and finally Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" he took a breath then carried on "They saved the world from an invasion by Martians then they split up for some reason or other and we haven't reformed one, until now, I told the Government's main leaders the candidates for this new team I've come up with and they loved it" he paused giving James a chance to ask "What have this got to do with me?" "I want you on this team, M said it's a good idea, so what do you think?" James sighed and then replied "No, I don't do teams, I work alone, I hate taking orders in a field mission" he was about to walk out of the office when Bill quickly said "Wait!" James stopped and turned around "You won' be taking orders in field missions, you're going to be the leader" James eyes widened "Seriously?" he gasped "Yes" James couldn't believe it, he'd never had his own team to command, not once, he made up his mind "Okay, who do I recruit for my team first?".
