The rain was more ferocious than before is Nemo's Automobile pulled up alongside the Doric Arch. inside the normal gloom beneath the arches a shroud of further gloom hung in the air like storm cloud.
" I guess we've found our comrade." Said Sawyer exiting the vehicle.
" As observant as ever." Replied Mina from the other side.
" I'll go introduce myself." Said Tom with a wry grin.
"Should be good for a laugh" grinned Skinner behind Mina.
Sawyer made his way towards the gloom. The Shroud parted and a figure strode purposely out of it.
"Miss Le Fey, I presume?" He Inquired.
"Yes, and you and your Friends are late." She replied sternly. The gaslight combined with the lights of Nemo's vehicle showed the fury in her eyes. Her face was strikingly beautiful but the frown it currently wore betrayed it. She was fairly tall and against the accepted fashion of the day she wore her hair loose.
"I can only apologise, Ma'am"
"Given my time on this earth, You would think I would be used to waiting for things. Sadly for you."
" Special agent Tom Sawyer." He interrupted.
"As I was saying. Sadly for you Agent Sawyer, waiting is one of the things that annoys me most. This time I shall forgive but try not to cross me again."
" We have been warned." Replied Skinner, a sarcastic tone in his otherwise arrogant voice.
" Please Mr Skinner, show Miss Fey a little respect." Said Mina.
"How do you put up with them?" said Morgan as she passed Mina heading towards the Automobile.
" I really don't know." Replied Mina, shrugging.
The Members of the league re-entered the waiting vehicle. The engine hummed as it made its way to the docks and the awaiting Nautilus, where The Ships Captain, Nemo and Doctor Henry Jekyll were waiting for the league and their newest recruit to join them. Speeding through the street's and avenues of London the vehicle they were in brought nothing but awe and amazement from bemused onlookers.
It turned into the docklands area and the sight that met them kept them in as much awe as it had the first time they had set eyes on it. The Nautilus.
Sitting Majestically in the Thames the Nautilus was gleaming despite the weather. The entrance hatch was lowered as the auto approached. It sped up the ramp to the storage area beyond.
" So this is the Nautilus, larger than I thought." Said Morgan.
"You've heard of my vessel Miss Le Fey?" Interrupted Nemo who approached from a side corridor.
"Yes, Captain Holmes gave me a brief description of this ship. He described it as an underwater ship and I pictured a more conventional vessel." She replied
"Let me assure you madam there is nothing conventional about this ship."
"I'll have to see its capabilities with my own eyes. Before I pass judgement captain."
"Well we could stand here with these pleasantries, but I believe we must be in Africa to meet the final member of the league. And to think I've just got the sand out of my coat from the last time." Interrupted Skinner.
"It's unlike you to want to enter danger so readily. " said Jekyll from the corridor.
"Well after our previous exploits Doctor, it seems I have a taste for it."
"In that case Skinner, Let us make haste, Captain" said Morgan.
" Let's" replied the captain.
They made there way to the bridge as Nemo radioed ahead for the voyage to begin. The Nautilus sank into the Thames and cutting the river ahead in to made it's way to the mouth and the North Sea beyond.
