Mina's eyes went larger than her teammates, as Edie Donatello strolled in, a small, bitter smile on her lips.
"How did you get in without my crew's knowledge?" Nemo demanded.
Edie winced slightly at the tone of his voice. "I transformed into tick. Took me quite a long time to get here, but at least I made it."
Mina raised an eyebrow. "How did you get here so fast, then? It took me three bloody hours!"
Edie grinned, and explained, "A wolf's trot is swifter than a horse's gallop."
"And I thought you did not wish to participate in this mission."
"Naturally, I did not. However, I know that bombs will endanger the planet. I'm just here to make sure none of these bombs are dropped. However," she added, "with any part that involves a human's life and no bomb, I will not help."
Tom muttered under his breath, "Glad to have you aboard."
"I heard that, Mr.."
"Special Agent Tom Sawyer. From America, as I think you can tell by my accent."
Edie peered at him, a cold look in her eyes. But, she smiled, and said, "Pleasure. Fanatic on guns?"
"Well, actually, yeah."
Edie nodded, then turned to Allan, who was keeping a close eye on her. "I don't believe I need to guess. Allan Quartermain, correct? The Great White Hunter?"
"That is correct, lass. But, how would you know about me, if you don't have any contact with humans?"
Edie grinned bitterly. "`Tis hard to forget a man who is well known by a species that has a tendency to talk a lot."
"I doubt you have any knowledge of me, though," muttered Nemo, to which Edie turned her head to and shrugged.
"I admit I cannot deny not hearing your name. However, I am quite sure you have enough of a legacy not for you to not be forgotten. By the way, what is the name of this vessel? It seems a little large for a ship."
Nemo's mouth twitched into becoming a smile. "Captain Nemo. You do not think lowly of the Nautilus? That eases me. This is the Sword of the Ocean, which can also travel under water."
Edie choked, "UNDER water?"
"Wot's wrong, luv? The thought of water frighten you? `Cause you are welcome to snuggle up next me if ya scared."
Her head swirled quickly to Skinner, who held his drink in his left hand, only wearing his coat and greasepaint.
"O. Rodney Skinner, Gentleman Thief."
"Kind of a oxymoron, isn't it? I wasn't aware there was one. And, how are you not showing any skin except your face?"
"Well, long story short, a man created invisibility, I stole `is work, can't transform back, and I'm stuck with these ole stuffy freaky darlings until I `elp and get my reward."
"Old stuffy freaky darlings?" Allan muttered under his breath, and Skinner continued.
"Enough about me, `ow `bout you and me get a room?" he asked, as he finally passed out.
Mina sighed, shaking her head. "Anyone up for dumping out the trash?" Tom looked up with a small, mocking frown on his face.
Edie looked over to the vampire and asked, "Is he going to be alright?"
"Oh, Skinner is always like that." Her head turned to face the new speaker: Dorian Gray. She had to admit, he was kind of sexy, with his black hair and small mustache. He smirked at her, and bobbed his head for manners.
"Dorian Gray. Immortal."
"Immortal? I thought all that was a myth, unless you mean to tell me you found the great Fountain of Youth?"
"No, but I wish I did. I had my portrait painted a very, very, very long time ago. I made a wish for it to age while I remained young and healthy. Turns out it came true, so I only true weakness is my painting," he explained, giving her a small wink.
She gulped, muttered, "Charming. And, you are?" she asked, turning towards Dr. Jekyll.
Jekyll looked up, a little shocked that she was speaking to him. He was now really uncomfortable.
{What's wrong, Henry? Can't bear to introduce me, you bloody coward? Come on, let me out to give her a REAL introduction of Me.} Hyde laughed inside of him, earning a small wince from Jekyll.
Mina leaned over and asked loudly, "Dr. Jekyll? Are you feeling alright?"
He looked up and tried to manage a small smile. "Yes, I am. I'm Dr. Henry Jekyll. At your service," he added, remembering the first time he met the League.
"I see. And what is your contribution to this team?"
Here, he paled, fumbling more with his watch. "M-me? W-well, when I was young, I-I was always interested in the evil souls of men. I-I made a v- vial that separated a man's sins from his good, creating s-sort of a persona different from the person who drank the vial. I made myself my guinea-pig, becoming the house for a brute by the name of Edward Hyde."
{That's all I am?! A PERSONA?! I AM YOU, WORM!} Hyde roared, causing Jekyll to reach for his head with his right hand. He continued, a little bit of sweat dripping down his forehead.
Edie nodded. "I see. I pity you, though I must admit, I do think that you were a little ignorant when you made it."
{Hah! This girl speaks the truth!} Hyde said smugly.
Edie turned away from the poor man back to Mina, raising an eyebrow at her. Allan cleared his throat.
"So, Paris, France is where this madman will be heading?"
"Yes. The reason? I will give you a hint. 'Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir'."
"Come again?"
"Well, one, Richard always did wish to visit France for the woman. Two, Paris is known as the city of love, and you can spread disease by what I call mating, but what you humans call s-"
"Okay, okay, I think I get the point," he interrupted, holding his hand up and looking slightly worried. He turned to Nemo, nodding. The Indian looked to all the others, and said, "A little privacy, if you all please. I'll have dinner sent up to your rooms."
"Don't worry, I'll show you to a room," Dorian said, taking hold of her arm. Mina glared at the immortal, before both took off. She turned to Allan and Tom, both who were gathering their arms underneath Skinner and lifted him up, no doubt going to dumped him in his room.
She turned, and left, leaving Nemo and Jekyll behind. The nervous doctor walked over to the Captain, muttering, "Um, Captain. I've been meaning to ask, that room you had Hyde in when I came, c-can I use it? I want to let h- him o-out before we reach Paris."
Nemo turned to face the doctor. "I suppose. I still have the chains. However, I prefer until after I eat. Come back to my room after an hour has passed."
The doctor nodded, then left, closing the doors softly behind him as the Captain took his seat and began to sketch notes.
He suddenly ran into the vampire, who looked slightly concerned for him. "Are you alright? You seem a bit tense," she asked, placing her gloved hand on his shoulder.
He nodded, saying, "I will let Hyde out in an hour in that room Nemo used before when we first met."
She nodded, and both began to walk together in silence. She broke it by murmuring, "Doctor, if I may inquire, do you think we saving humans will be a good thing in the long run?"
He stopped, scratching his head and stuttering to find an answer. Finally, he sighed, and looked up into her azure blue eyes, and replied, "I do not know. I-I always thought h-humans were s-supposed to be good and everything else was evil. I t-think I would have come up with a better response if Hyde did not bother me. Why do you ask?"
She looked at him quizzically, frowning slightly. "Ms. Donatello told me before I left her house. She advised me to think about it before I took action."
"And what do you think of it?"
She shrugged. "I have no mind of it at all. I signed up for this task, that's what I will do."
He looked down at her bleak answer. She was so beautiful; he could never win her over. Dorian and Tom had looks and charms that could easily win.
She surprised him by saying: "I'll visit you in two hours."
His head jerked up, a look of surprise on his face. "R-really? T-that is kind, but y-y-you don't have to."
She said nothing, turning to walk down to her room, leaving him to listen to Hyde's taunts. Soon, he turned and left to his room. Unknown to them, a small Egyptian Mau had watched them in the shadows.
With a flick of a tail, Edie, the cat, left back to her room, morphing back to her original form.
************************************************************************
Ok, I know, she was with Dorian, but her room was closer, so she was able to break off and listen to Jekyll and Mina. ^^ I'm a Jekyll/Mina fan, sue me! NO FLAMIE!
So happy I have four reviews! I feel loved!
