I came up with this idea after watching the deleted scene where Tom says "That other agent I told you about." Oh and yeah I don't claim LXG or any of the characters (Much as I'd like to)

Tom sighed and leaned on the rail. Surprisingly he was the only one on the deck right now.

"At least it gives me some time to think."

He was not really sure what he had gotten him self into. This League, while they were all after the same thing didn't really seem like a real team.

"Maybe things will change when we get to Paris."

The door clanged behind him. Looking around he saw Quartermain coming towards him. He leaned on the rail beside Tom.

"So, Sawyer, do you Americans usually work alone in things like this?" Tom flinched, memories flooded his mind. Running down the street.....walking into a trap...the gun shot...blood....

"Sawyer?" Quartermain was looking at him now.

"No. I had a partner but before we got to London..." Tom paused "The Phantom shot him. I decided to stay on the mission, so I followed the Phantom to London. That's how I found you all." Tom forced a smirk.

Quartermain nodded, he could tell that the young man was hiding something but then again he knew all about ghost of the past.

"Sawyer, once we get to Paris, I would like for you to accompany me ashore." Tom raised his eyebrows. Quartermain gave a wry smile. "As I said earlier it will be quite the hunt."

"So who is this guy anyway?"

"His name is Mr. Hyde." Quartermain walked back to the door. "Coming Sawyer?"

"Na; I think I'll stay up here a while longer." Quartermain nodded and went back into the ship. Tom sighed; what he had told the man was true, to a point. But the other agent had been more than just a partner, he had been a friend--his best friend since childhood; Huck. Tom smiled as memories of his childhood played through his mind. Skipping school...running off to become a pirate...attending his own funeral...the trouble with Injun Joe...finding the treasure...freeing Jim the slave...getting shot in the leg...being called hero's by all the other boys. Huck had been there for all of it. He frowned as the memories took a dark turn. Standing out in the rain...Huck on the other side of the street...running after the figure...the malicious laughter...a shot...Huck falling...blood seeping through his shirt... "Get...him for me...Tom."...the funeral...standing at the freshly dug grave alone in the rain...

"Agent Sawyer." Tom shot back to reality. Caption Nemo was standing at the door. "We will be diving in a moment." Tom nodded and walked over to the door, burying the memories back inside him.
