AN- I won't promise to update sooner this time, because I always break it… But still, I will not abandon this story at any time, so you don't have to worry about that. Thanks for all your reviews, faves and alerts so far and of course your patience.

Enjoy.

''Tom, don't be ridiculous!'' Mina scolded, swiftly following him down the corridor. He was a fool to think he could do this! ''You'll be killed in minutes!''

''Maybe.'' He replied, not caring. As long as he got some damage done before he died, he would be fine with that outcome. He'd have done his job, or at least, done all he could to get it done. He could join Huck and Allan…She had the speed of a vampire to use against him and she did, taking him roughly by the arm and almost appearing in front of him out of nowhere. She gave him a piercing gaze.

''This is madness- I won't allow you to do this. Please…'' Her gaze switched from authoritative to pleading. ''If anyone should do this, it should be me. No harm can come to me, I can fly and move much faster than a mortal.''

''I can't sit here and do nothing. And what if something happens to you?'' He retorted, staring back at her. She was very nearly taller than him, but he could thankfully match up to her in height at this point. He had decided that he would go out and locate any stationary tripods and plant explosives. It was more a job for Skinner, just like the last time, but since he was gone, it was up to Tom.

He would then get to the pit and destroy the things in there that seemed to be building things for their comrades. The original landing site- although it did make sense for Mina to go…but he wasn't going to stay back and do nothing.

''Like what? They cannot harm me, unless they have some silver with them. '' She said sarcastically. Nothing they had, that she was aware of, would be able to kill her. Injury was of course possible, quite likely. But not death- that was the 'luxury' she had over Tom. ''Agent Sawyer, I refuse to let you throw yourself into the danger zone like this, again. I will be doing what you wish to- though you will assist me.'' She said finally, taking charge of the situation.

He stared at her and suddenly realised what she had said as she walked on ahead of him towards the area where Nemo stored explosives. He and the Doctor were not far behind, but Sawyer didn't wait for them.

''Wait a minute, I want-''

''I know you want to, but you are not going to. That is final.'' She said matter of factly, giving him a look which dared him to challenge her. He fell silent and sighed, watching as the Captain pointed out which devices they were to use and how they would be detonated.

Coughing, Skinner stumbled onto the railing of the upper deck having jumped down from the bridge. He struggled with the door hatch and got it open, glad to feel the coolness of the ship. He closed it again and moved down the ladder hastily, hearing familiar voices…

''Oh, bloody brilliant!'' He said with an invisible grin, rushing down the corridor to meet them. They were in a room he had never seen open before, and shelves and boxes were all around containing weapons and….bombs?

''What's this then?'' He said, forgetting that he had disappeared without notice and was likely to be in a lot of trouble. The League members all turned sharply towards the doorway, recognizing the disembodied cockney voice anywhere. Sensing his position, Mina went over to him and found his ear, dragging him into the room.

''Ow! Mina!''

''Where have you been!? We were worried sick! We thought you had abandoned us!'' The vampiress scolded him immediately without a second thought. He got free of her grasp and clutched his ear, although they couldn't see him do so.

''Oh, I see- invisible bloke goes missing and it's- 'Oh he must have betrayed us!', not- 'Oh no! Where is Rodney Skinner? I hope he's alive!'' He answered sarcastically, receiving a laugh from Sawyer which he could not suppress.

''We didn't know what to think, you leaving without saying nothing and all.'' The Spy explained, grinning. A weight lifted in him at the return of the thief, who took a navy blue jacket from the wall and put it on so he could be seen.

''Well- I went to do your job- spyin'. I went to the pit and watched those things working- unfortunately, I got much closer than I would've liked…but here I am. I wasn't planning on leaving you lot, just yet. You're like a really odd family- really odd- but a family none the less.''

He confessed, hating touchy feely little moments like these. Mina's gaze softened a little and she smiled, forgivingly. He grinned, forgetting that she couldn't see it and flexed the coat which stuck to him somewhat, after having washed off the blood and weed residue off in a stream.

''Well…you and Mina will be a perfect combination to planting these things. I vote, that me, Nemo and Jekyll provide distraction a second time round.'' Sawyer suggested, indicating to the explosives Nemo had directed them to. Mina nodded slowly.

''Very well.'' She said with a sly smile, being in charge for once. He grinned at her and took up one of the bombs, examining it with interest. The Captain moved over but did not take it from him- he began to show him and the others the way they all worked.

''So when do we begin…?'' Jekyll asked as Mina and Skinner packed a small shoulder bag each to take with them. She had those which could be attached to the tripods and detonated by Nemo- Skinner took those for close range and quick fire, which he would have to set and run away from fast- but he was up to the task.

''Now. We'll just go out there and attack on sight. It's all we got left…let's make sure it works.'' Tom answered, looking out of the porthole window determinedly.

To Be Continued….
