A/N: so as this, and a few of the next chapters, will be occurring on the actual Titanic it is time for me to through a little disclaimer up. I have not studied the Titanic since the seventh grade, meaning I'm getting my info from my memory and the internet, so forgive me if my details or facts are a little off. =] Also, I have changed the dynamics of the Five a little, but have no fear! All will be explained… eventually ;) Other than that, enjoy chapter two!

At precisely ten forty-five on April the 10th Nikola, Helen, and James arrived in Southampton. Helen and Nikola had sent the majority of what they would need to America weeks ago and so the only luggage they had were a few suitcases of clothing and such things for their voyage. Or more accurately, Nikola had one suitcase and Helen had two. James carried one of Helen's suitcases as he walked them both to the gangplank. Once there he set down the suitcase and gently embraced Helen goodbye.

"Be safe Helen," He smiled, "and be sure to wire me as soon as you can."

"I will."

She smiled back and went for her other suitcase but Nikola had already grabbed it from the place where James had set it down. Then she turned and began to walk up and Nikola turned to follow Helen but,

"Tesla, wait." James called.

Nikola turned back, and faced Watson, not sure what he could possibly want. James took a step forward, bringing the two men a couple of inches from the other. There was a moment of silence in which the two men stared at each other. James broke the silence.

"You take good care of her, look out for her over there," He said then added with a tiny smile, "Though I know I don't have to tell you to do that since that is all you've been doing since you first met her."

"No, no you don't," Nikola agreed, returning the smile, "But I will anyways."

Placing down his suitcase, Nikola extended his right hand to James, who took it saying,

"Goodbye old friend."

"Goodbye Watson."

And after a final shake, Nikola took up his suitcase again and followed Helen up the gangplank to the deck. Once there, Helen showed the man her and Nikola's ticket. The man said that they were staying in a very nice parlor suite, handpicked by Mr. Andrews. A young man, who was nothing but a boy really, wearing a neatly pressed uniform, appeared from nowhere who took both of Helen's suitcases and instructed them to follow him to the cabin. It was a quick journey, filled with silent stares from Helen and Nikola who were both impressed by what they saw, though one of them would never admit it. Reaching room number B-63 the young man flicked open the door and pace inside, putting the suitcases next to small table in the front room.

They both followed the young man inside and Helen looked around. The room, was gorgeous. The front room had a small table and chairs scattered about. Looking into the bedroom from its doorway she allowed her eyes to lazily sweep over the room, the couch nestled in one corner and then her gaze drifted to examine the bed. It was a large elegant four post bed placed snugly against the wall, drapes tied up at opposite ends. It was simply a beautiful room, and she made a mental note to thank Thomas for it when she saw him later that evening at dinner.

It was at this moment Nikola spoke,

"Excuse me boy? Think you could show me to my most likely less elegant room now."

The young man looked confused and replied,

"Sir, this is your room. This suite was reserved especially by Mr. Andrews for one Dr. Helen Magnus and Nikola Tesla."

Helen erased her mental note.

"What?" Nikola sputtered.

"Are you quite certain?" Helen asked the young man.

"Positive M'am."

And without another word the young man slipped out of the room, gently shutting the door behind him. Nikola paced to the bedroom door, running his fingers through his hair in an agitated manner. After looking inside he let out a small sigh and said,

"Well, I can always sleep on that couch. It appears to be comfortable enough."

Helen gave Nikola an odd look replying,

"Nonsense."

"Pardon me?"

"Nikola, honestly, do not be ridiculous. We are close friends who are both immortals. I think we can handle sharing a rather large bed."

Then, as she grabbed her suitcases and walked back into the bedroom, smirked,

"Besides after this you'll be able to brag for all of eternity that you have been to bed with me."

Nikola grinned broadly to himself. He was going to enjoy this trip a great deal.
