LXG: Aboard the Nautilus. By elven emma
The League sat around the large white table as Nemo told them of their next destination. Helen's invisible hands were hidden by black leather gloves. What she had done may have been heroic, yet now she felt some how embarrassed. She avoided everyone's looks except for Jekyll's, the one man she felt who understood, and Skinner who had actually begun to be polite. Well that was until she was well enough to begin walking about again (which didn't take long) and Skinner was his usual mischievous self. He could get quite annoying but Helen found him quite amusing. Like the time when he almost gave one of the older workers on the Nautilus a heart attack and there was much panic as almost everyone thought the old man had been suddenly struck down by some contagious disease, The Nautilus had almost come to a grinding halt, but Mina soon sorted Skinner out.
'So it seems we have been called to China.' said Nemo, 'The Nautilus has already changed direction.'
'Does that mean we can't disagree?' said Skinner. 'What happened to team thinking?'
'It is team thinking,' said Mina, 'We all thought that we should help and that your remarks were unneeded.'
'What? I feel quite hurt.'
'Mr Skinner, please may I continue.' Said Nemo who was getting quite annoyed by this time, 'If you have any problems please speak out.'
'Oh no, go ahead.'
'So why do they need our help?' asked Sawyer.
'The people in the village claim to have seen ghosts and spirits.' said Mina, 'they believe it means the end of their existence unless the ghosts put to rest.'
'We are to meet a Mr. Thwait at the port. He will then take us on to the British Embassy building.'
So it was on to China.
Helen was getting as much fresh air as possible before the Nautilus dived in to the deep waters. Sawyer decided to join her, bringing his shotgun with him and a cloth to clean it with. He tried to make it as shiny as possible and then put it down and faced Helen.
'Look, I gotta apologise to ya Helen. I have to say I didn't trust you before, but I guess I was very wrong.' said Sawyer. He didn't want hard feelings between the team and especially with someone who didn't need her eyes to see.
'It was understandable, I should have told you more of myself and where I got those papers from.'
'Where did ya get 'em from anyway?'
'It's a long story. Perhaps one for another time.'
'Alright.' Sawyer went back to his cleaning, or he would have done if his gun was still there. 'What the? Skinner!'
Helen gave a small laugh, 'Perhaps I need to teach you a few things,' Sawyer turned around to see his gun behind Helen, held by her pointy tail. 'Stealth is important and shooting everything in your path is not a very good way to give yourself stealth.'
'How do you know how I shoot?'
'You are American Mr. Sawyer, need I say more? I'm not getting at you, it's just sometimes violence isn't the way. Trust me.' With a flick of her tail she left, and Sawyer followed as the ship prepared to dive.
Sawyer was walking towards the dining room for dinner and soon found himself walking along side Mina.
'I must say Sawyer,' said Mina, 'It was very decent of you apologising for you miss trust.'
'Yeah well, I just want a happy team,' said Sawyer with a smile.
'Hmm perhaps Alan was right, with an attitude like I guess you could be a leader.' Sawyer grinned even more. He'd never heard anyone tell him that he had the chance to be a leader. 'But I think you need to be able to gain some control over your team first.' Sawyer's grin went and then he felt a sudden smack on his shoulder as Skinner shouted ' 'ello there Tom!' Sawyer gave him an annoyed look and walked off towards dinner.
'I don't understand you Skinner,' said Mina, 'I think you've quite rude.'
'Well I wouldn't be me if I was polite would I?'
'I don't mean slapping Sawyer, I mean with Helen. After what she did for you and now you're acting as if nothing happened.'
'I took her flowers yesterday.'
'They were tea leaves.'
'What can I say she was thirsty.' Mina went, shaking her head and walking briskly. Skinner wished she would stop. He was more thankful than everyone realized and to be honest he wasn't sure how to show it. He couldn't visit her in her room or drop in with flowers now that she was well again. Skinner had thought he could carry on as normal now, after all Helen seemed happy enough. 'Speak of the Devil!' he said as Helen turned the corner.
'Good evening.' Said Helen, 'I see you've been annoying Sawyer. He was saying how annoying you were and tired of you joking.'
'Just another normal evening then.' Said Skinner as they both laughed.
The Nautilus was almost there, in the same country where Helen was changed. Near the same Temple where Helen was first possessed by the Dragon spirit.

elven_emma: this chapter took a bit of thinking because it was really a chapter of the League going from A to B but I hope you liked it. Now on with the action!!!
