Thank you for the review I had so far for Chapter one. I'm glad that someone likes having Jonas and Duncan in the League, if people have any ideas as to who I could include in the league then I will take any ideas under consideration. There aren't many more well known(ish) characters to come most of the rest are my own characters.
Jonas, Duncan, Kate and Mina aren't mine though Dr Armstrong is.
Please let me know what you think.

As soon as Dr Armstrong had left the room Mina allowed herself to look properly at the young man standing on the other side of the room, she couldn't see anything strange about him but that did not mean anything one thing she was all to aware of was the fact that even the most normal looking person could be hiding something. She had read his file when she had been given it, it did not tell her much other than his name and age and the fact that he was some kind of scientist. There was no mention of any powers,
"You are a scientist are you not Mr Quinn?" Mina said
"Sort of Mrs Sawyer." Jonas replied
"I am surprised that I have not heard of you as I always pay particular attention to any new scientific discoveries." Mina said
"I've been working for the American government for the last year" Jonas said as means of explanation
"Before that then did you not exist." Kate asked quietly
"It's complicated." Jonas said with a grin.
"I've heard that before." Mina muttered remebering a time more than 100 years previously when someone had said something very similar
"I had to swear that I would not say anything." Jonas aplogised
"Understandable." Duncan muttered
"Who else is joining us?" Jonas asked
"Our doctor will be joining us here. We have to go to Prague to collect a Miss Jenkins after that." Mina said
"Can you fight Mr Quinn?" Duncan asked
"Better than I could a year ago. I can use most firearms, hand to hand isn't much of a problem. I brought this with me to use as well. It's a new type of technology and we have only just been developing them. One shot stuns, two kills and three disintergrates." Jonas said showing Duncan the Zat he had with him. The fact that they had been in use by SG teams for 5 years and were is fact an alien piece of technology were beside the point.
"useful." Kate comented, she was sure that it was a very useful piece of technology but she did not put any trust in it especially if they came up against an immortal, if that happned then she would stick to the tried and tested method of removing its head.
"You have no idea." Jonas said with an ear to ear grin. At that moment the door opened and someone new came into the room. Mina looked at her with interest, the woman was looking slightly nervous as though she did not want to be there. She had short black hair in numerous braids around her head dressed simply in jeans and a black shirt she looked unremarkable.
"Is one of you Mina Sawyer? I was told to come here for 10.30" the woman asked revealing a New York accent.
"I am Whilimina Sawyer. May I have your name?"
"Reyes, Dr Celia Reyes."
"Dr Reyes. We were expecting you." Mina said. She knew more about this woman than she did about Jonas Quinn. Celia Reyes was a mutant but had been able to hide that fact from ordinary people for most of her life. However she had been attacked several years earlier and her secret had been revealed, as a result of this she had been a temporary member of the X-men until leaving them to continue her medical career.
"I was told that a group being formed here was going to need a medic along with them. I don't see why it has to be me." Celia said shaking her head and causing the braids to fan out.
"We need you Dr Reyes because of your other abilities. You are also used to dealing with strange injuries so would be prefect for our group." Mina said calmly
"I'm not getting involved with any more super teams. I was promised anonimity when I left the last one. Why can you people not understand the fact that I want to be left alone." Celia said
"We need your help Dr Reyes as otherwise the whole world will die. You have seen what the legacy virus did to people, you know what aids can do to people. If you imagine either one of those and multiply the pain several tens of times then you might have an idea as to what it is that we are trying to stop." Mina said.
"You are joking right?" Celia asked her face having gone slightly pale at the thought of an illness that painful
"I wish that I could say that I am, the problem is that I am not. We have two months in which to gather our team together and stop him. After that point he plans to unleash it for the first time over Orlando and the theme parks there. The number of children affected will be into the tens of thousands. We don't know who he is or where his base is. All we know is that we have to stop him. Will you help us ?" Mina asked
"I don't have any choice do I."
"We all have a choice, yours is whether you wish to help us or not." Kate said
"I'm in then." Celia sighed.
"Welcome to the League then." Mina said and held out her hand
"I'll go and check what time we are to leave" Duncan said and with Kate left the room. Mina studied the young woman with them for some time, she was the youngest in the group, Mina was over 100 years old, Duncan was just over 400 and Kate was heading towards 300. Jonas was younger being just over 30 years old. Celia though was just 26. Not as young as Tom had been when he'd joined the League, he had been just 22. She could easily remember Tom from when she had first met him with blond hair and very anxious to prove himself, it had been 5 years later when they were finally married. He had aged though when he'd died the spirt had still been there but the blond hair had long since faded to white. She had promised when he had died that she would not marry again as it was just too painful as she never aged whereas they did, nothing she could do would stop that. Her friendship with Duncan went back 100 years and she was grateful for it as he never aged and would be there for sometime longer. Mina was lonely, she wished she had not got involved in the league once more but someone had to lead it and she had been chosen. She hated being a vampire and not for the first time she cursed Dracula for what he had done to her.

There you go what do you think?
I know not many people may be aware of the characters that I am using and that is deliberate as I want to have more room to play with them than I would have if I used well known characters. However I will be using well known badguys promise. Please let me know what you think as I want to know what people think.
Jonas, Duncan, Kate and Mina aren't mine though Dr Armstrong is.
