Someone or Something New
An LXG Fanfic by Exmouth
Chapter Two
A quick question for all you avid readers of mine: What new fanfic adventure should I embark on next? Reservoir Dogs, Underworld, or American Psycho? I have extensive ideas brewing about the three, but I want to focus on only one at the moment. E-mail me with your vote.
Anyway, on with the show..
Renja stood alone in the dark foyer, breathing dust and decay, until footsteps were heard down coming down the stairs. She knew it would only be him, coming to argue.
"What in the hell are you doing here?", whispered Dorian thru clenched teeth.
"You didn't think M would send you out on your own, did you? You'll need two for this job, you know it.", replied Renja.
"No I do not need help! I have everything under control. Its all going according to plan. Why M would send you I haven't the faintest."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Its supposed to mean that he shouldn't have sent a woman to do this."
"Why you insensitive, sexist, hypocritical bastard! You have that half- thing Mina up there and you didn't give it a second glance when you saw that she was attached to the League. Have you forgotten already of what I can do? I can be a man easily enough!"
And with that, Renja's body melted into a silver mass of liquid, like mercury. Two or three minutes passed, and the exact copy and shape of Dorian Grey, like a twin, stood before him.
" Oh. I guess I did forget.", said Dorian.
"Yes, well, you'll have to be more careful next time, you jerk."
"Renja, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just obligated to approve. Mina and I were in love once."
"You weren't in love. You were having sex."
"Yes, well. It was fun just the same."
Meanwhile, the rest of the League was gathered at the top of the stairs, watching the entire scene play out, and watching Dorian Grey talk to a copy of himself. Luckily, the two Dorian's were speaking in a whisper, so no words were being heard.
"Now, Renja,", said Dorian, "what I want you to do, is go back upstairs and tell Quartermaine that you have changed your mind about joining the League and leave the mission to me! Now go."
"Its too late. They already know I'm here."
"I don't care! What do I have to do to prove to you that I can do this myself?"
But before Renja could answer, her eyes flicked to a spot over Dorian's shoulder, and she re-appropriated back into herself, the normal Renja. Dorian turned around, eyes wide and mouth agape.
"Hello, uh, friends. I was just having a small discussion with our new friend, Renja, and uh, it seems that she has fully decided to join the League."
"She's a shapeshifter, isn't she?", asked Mina.
"Yes, I am, half-ling. And don't talk about me like I am not within you presence."
"Now ladies, we don't want to begin our adventure on bad terms, now do we? I think we should depart, or we will be late.", said Dorian, nervously.
The League took Dorian's remark into account, and they left the old mansion to set sail.
