Later that day ...
The Nautlius had gone as far north as it was able to go and was now on the surface, Nemo, Tom and Henry were walking about on the ice sheet, Mina was surprised that Zu hadn't decided to join them as Henry was going but since Henry had announced that he planned to leave Zu had been very quiet and was now standing on the deck staring out into space.
"Zu are you alright?" Mina asked standing behind the younger woman
"I'll be fine." Zu said turning round and give Mina an obviously fake smile.
"Is it what Jekyll said this morning?"
"Yes." Zu said sadly
"I thought you be pleased that he is retiring. It is obvious that you care deeply for him." Mina said trying to find out what exactly the problem was
"I am pleased for him. Last night after you all left he told me that he loved me and kissed me but now he says he is leaving. How can he love me if he is planning on leaving me?" Zu asked
"Hasn't he asked you to leave with him?" Mina said surprised
"No, that's the problem. If he asked me I probably would." Zu confided
"Henry has felt that he is not worthy of anything for many years now and to have suddenly be handed a cure at the same time that he falls in love is probably more than the man can comprehend at the moment. Give him a few days and he will ask you. Do you have any clothes that you could wear in London incedently?" Mina asked
"Only this type." Zu said gesturing at her trousers and jacket.
"Come with me I'm sure that I have some spare clothes that will fit you."

On the ice ...
"Are you sure that you are doing the right thing?" Tom asked Henry
"Yes. I need to discover who I am again and I can't do that here." Henry said
"Are you going to take Zu with you?" Nemo asked
"I don't think she'd come with me if I asked. So no, all she ever saw in me was a scientific puzzle and without Hyde I am nothing." Henry said justifying his actions to himself.
"Are you sure about that?" Nemo asked
"Nearly. Why? I thought you didn't want her to have anything to do with me."
"I want my daughter to be happy, I think that she'd be happier with you than with me." Nemo said
"If she makes any sign that she'd like to come with me I'll ask her until then I'll leave it." Jekyll said.
"Suit yourself. However if you don't ask you will never know." Nemo said.

Two weeks later . London ...
Henry, Tom, Nemo and Skinner stood in the exit from the Nautilus. The ship was docked at what could be the same place it had been when the league had first started out a year before hand.
"Well goodbye then." Henry said.
"Goodbye mate. Take care of yourself, I'll miss you." Skinner said
"Goodbye Doctor." Nemo said extending his hand for the doctor to shake.
"See ya then. I'll make sure to look you up the next time we're in London." Tom said.
"Goodbye then. Say farewell to Mina and Zu when you find them." Henry said picking up his bag and preparing to leave.
"Trying to sneak off without saying goodbye Henry?" Zu asked from a bit further back
"Zu?" he said pleased that she hadn't stayed away.
"Yes." She walked forward with Mina next to her, both women had the pleasure of seeing the look on the mens faces at Zu's transformation.
"I'm sorry we are a little bit late but we couldn't make up our minds which dress would be the best." MIna said a half smile on her face. Skinner grinned at Mina as did Tom. Nemo and Jekyll had identical looks on their faces. Zu lifted one eyebrow at them in a question.
"Is there a problem?" she inquired
"Where are you going?" Nemo asked already knowing the answer.
"I want to see London. I've seen India and the far north and want to see London." Zu said grinning at the doctor as he still hadn't said anything.
"Can I speak to Zu for a minute?" Jekyll asked. Nemo nodded and Jekyll led Zu to one side.
"Is there a problem Henry?" Zu asked innocently
"No. No problem."
"I want to come with you. I'm sorry if you aren't used to women acting this way but I've had rather a strange upbringing. I want to come with you, you obviously weren't going to ask me so I made up my own mind. You don't mind do you?" Zu finnished on a rather uncertain note.
"No. I'm sorry I didn't ask you but I thought your only interest was in me as a scientific oddity."
"I love you Henry Jekyll and only you." Zu said and kissed him in front of the others. Henry couldn't believe that he had heard her say that. Skinner cleared his throat behind them and they broke apart blushing and smiling foolishly.
"I presume that Zu is going with you." Nemo said the hint of a smile on his face.
"I'm going with him father." Zu said.
"Goodluck to you then." Nemo nodded.
Henry and Zu walked off the ship, though they couldn't hold hands as each of them had several bags they were as close as they could get. Henry couldn't stop smiling, he was home and he had Zu with him. As the pair of them vannished into the fog that surrounded London the league went back on board the ship and it slowly returnned to the sea. As Henry hailed a carriage he thought he heard a laugh in the back of his head one that sounded suspiciously like Hyde, he ignored it.
