A.N. OMG!! Thanks to all of you who reviewed on my newest fic. I love you! I was especially surprised and pleased how quickly they came.

Korusuna- Hehe, thanks I was really worried about how to put Rodney's sense of humor on paper, lol, Henry on the other hand I'm not entirely sure what to do with him, but a Mina/Henry is coursing through my brain though. Does that sound ok?

Maikafuiniel- Omg! I totally agree. I love Skinner and I must say I am absolutely speechless. You really want to put "my" fic on your site? Anyway I would be very honored if you did and I don't mind if you do by the way, hehe and I am sooo glad you like the fic. I'll keep updating as often as I can.

Puella Lutea- Ok, you are my hero! That's the type of constructive criticism I want. I really appreciate it. About the accent , thanks I wasn't sure if I should use it or not…..so I eventually gave in and used it. It was something new to try for me. I'll remember that next time about already hearing the cockney accent when you read, this I agree. Oh and thanks for telling me how to spell Jekyll correctly (embarrassed look) once again I appreciate it. I want more of this k.

Silver windcat- lol, thanks mate. I'm really glad your enjoying the fic and I hope this one will go past a few chapters…..ohm it will, hehe.

Sparrow's maiden- OMG!!! I saw the movie not long ago myself and fell in love with Skinner, not to mention the actor who plays him, but I'll update as soon as I can on this fic, hehehe. Thanks.

Megan smith- (evil grin) I'm gonna leave Anita's reason for needing help a surprise, lol. Actually its not all that great, but you'll find out in this chap……promise.

Suzuki Blade- Aww…..thanks, mate. I'm really glad you like my fic. Personally I didn't think this one would be quite a hit….but who knew. Any who as I said before updates will come as soon as possible…….by the way cool name (that goes for the rest of you as well).

~NOT SO BAD~

By KOTY M

Ch.1 Beginning of TROUBLE!

Anita couldn't believe it, they were actually going to help her. She read the letter from Nemo again telling her all she need to hear. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen were being very generous indeed and she couldn't help but be grateful for that. This task was one she knew should be handled by her and only her, but she couldn't ignore the strong need for the leagues help.

Quickly gathering her leather bound journal and a medium sized travel bag, Anita began stuffing clothes and other assortments she thought would be needed into the brown bag.

She would not wait another minute to see the league.

Outside the rain poured down hard at an angle, slightly stinging Anita's eyes, but she paid no attention to it.

She was pleased to find out the league was not staying very far from where she lived.

The name of Henry Jekyll was to be the one providing their shelter and such while they were here since he was the only one who currently lived in London.

As Anita approached the manor where the league was to be she caught a glimpse of their automobile. A sigh of relief escaped her lips, gladdened that they were there and she was finally going to meet them. Hopefully I can muster a good impression on them, she though looking and straightening her attire.

Henry Jekyll lead the league members through his spacious home, showing them their rooms as he came upon them.

They all seemed to be very pleased with the place for it was beautifully furnished with cherry stained tables and chairs. A soft burgundy couch and love seat complimented the cream colored walls that were lined top to bottom with books in his living room . The bedrooms themselves were quite large and uniquely designed with the same cream walls. The upholstery of the furniture was of light blue or beige with burgundy imprints.

Only being three bedrooms, Mina was quite pleased Henry got up the courage to ask her if she wouldn't mind sharing his room, as it were Tom had already put his belongings with Nemo. She was not about to share one with the mischievous Skinner.

Skinner walked down the halls of the manor getting a feel of the place before he got to comfy. "well, well looks like the bugger did well," he smirked as he said these words.

He turned the corner making his way out of the halls and into the living room to see the other league members sitting very comfortably on the couch, Nemo had sat himself in the love seat.

"Well, we find anything interesting to talk about while I was gone?" A grin spread over Skinners face through the grease paint as he joked. The league members smiled as they looked up to acknowledge him.

"Mr. Skinner, this is no time for merriment. We must discuss this situation we have found ourselves in," Nemo said after a moment.

Skinner was about to interject when a knock came at the door. "Who could that be at this hour," Mina asked raising a delicate eyebrow at Nemo.

"I'll go check for this is my house," Henry stated getting up from the couch.

"I think I'll join you in solving that little mystery," Skinner said getting up as well.

The men slowly walked to the door giving each other a glance as they came up to it. Nodding to one another Skinner grabbed the doorknob and slowly turned it.

Shocked expressions plastered themselves on the two men's faces as Anita Perry stood drenched head to toe in the doorway of the manor with bag in gloved hands.

"Would I be in the company of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," she asked with a rather weary voice.

"Why yes you would, love. But why would a pretty little thing like you be needing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," Skinner asked. "Does the enchantress before me have a name?,"

"Skinner!," Henry gave an apologetic look to the woman for Skinners behavior and allowed her to step inside. Surprisingly enough she smiled at him and gave a small laugh.

"You must be Rodney Skinner." She shook the invisible mans hand. He was thrown off guard at the mention of his name, but figured he would let it be…for now. "And yes I do have a name, Anita Perry.," She glanced towards Henry who stared at her suspiciously. "Mr. Henry Jekyll right?,"

"Uh, Ye yes that's right," Henry stuttered taking her hand. He was thankful Hyde wasn't present at the moment. But I am Henry. Why not let me out. Lets what fun we can have with her. Lets see how fast she can run. Hydes voice boomed through his head. Henry ignored him as best he could fixing his gaze on the woman before him. She's pretty. I know you think so. Pathetic worm she would never glance at you the way you want her to, she wants me NOW LET ME OUT! Henry shuttered at Hydes monstrous voice and began to figit with his pocket watch.

Anita gave a curious glance toward the tall, Mousy doctor as she heard Hydes voice, but let it go thinking it was her imagination.

Anita glanced behind Henry as she saw Mina, Nemo, and Tom coming. Most likely curious to see who was visiting them at such a late hour.

"Ah! Miss. Perry. You have finally made it, although I thought we were coming to you.," Nemo smiled, slightly bowing.

"Please call me Anita, captain," she corrected him with her own warm smile. "and I am sorry to bother you. I did not mean to contradict our agreement but I had to come as soon as possible. May I ask who your other companions are?," She nodded in Tom and Mina's direction.

"Agent Tom Sawer, but you can just call me Tom," Tom answered "and…"

"Mina Harker." She interrupted extending her hand to shake Anita's, who gladly excepted the woman's gesture of greeting.

"So you're the lass that's in all that trouble. I figured you would be all innocent and scotch free.," Skinner gave her wicked half smile. She gave him scowled despite the fact he was flirting with her. He was quite the charmer from what she could tell.

"I am far from it Mr. Skinner," she held a serious expression which made Skinner stop for the moment. "Now that we have introductions out of the way I believe it would be best to get straight to the point. Shall we sit down," with that she walked over to the living room closely followed by the League, who were glowering at the invisible man who gave the a look as if to say 'what else do you expect'. They rolled their eyes at him as they continued to walk to the living room..

She marveled at the books lining the walls for there must have been hundreds. Literately! She promised herself that after the little meeting she would have a glance at them.

Choosing the love seat, Anita sat down with a sigh mentally preparing herself. Tom, Mina, and Henry sat in the couch opposite of her as Nemo and Skinner stood on either side of it.

"What are we dealing with first of all," Tom asked in a rather menacing tone.

"Lycans, or you probably know them as werewolves.," Anita stated flatly. "and they are not to be misjudged for they are very sophisticated and very powerful," she warned

"Werewolves. Like the ones in fairy tales and stuff. I thought they didn't exist," Tom spoke as if he didn't believe her.

"Well mate, up until a year ago you didn't believe in vampires, invisible men, or hell even Henry's alter ego." Skinner said teasingly as he raised an eyebrow at him. Tom, who was embarrassed, looked to the floor.

"And I assure you anything is possible,: Mina added.

Anita nodded at this and turned her attention to Henry. "So that was Hyde I heard earlier. Your so called alter ego.," Everyone gave her questioning looks except for Mina.

"Uh…..I, I suppose so," Henry looked frightened at this, but visibly relaxed when Anita gave him a small knowing smile. She had a monster inside her as well.

"So you can hear old Hyde can you. Can you hear what my alter ego is saying," Skinner replied winking at her. Mina gave a glare before rolling her eyes.

"No I can not," Anita laughed "and from what I've heard about you I'm not entirely sure I want to.," She gave him a playful grin causing him to return one of his own.

"Does this mean you have unique powers of your own," Henry asked

Anita gave a sad smile "If you want to call it that. Yes," her face darkened for a moment and her eyes turned icy blue appearing to almost glow. Everyone gave a small gasp at this. It's more of a curse than anything," she continued after a moment.

"So your one of these creature as well." Nemo said, It wasn't a question.

Anita's head lowered and she looked at her gloved hands. "We must stop them." she said quietly. "they have destroyed my life and will destroy more if we don't do something," she continued with more force edging her voice.

She and the league looked at each other and Knew they had a new member.

A.N. whew! (whips forehead) That was quite a lot of typing. Oh well it was worth it. Sorry if you wanted a little more to happen in this chap, it ended quite different from what I planned myself. If the ending was cheesy……sorry, lol I will do better with the next chap, but I thought it would be a good Idea to leave things open for thought if you know what I mean.

Well hope you all enjoyed the official first chap….um…keep up the reviewing….cheers, mates.
