Disclaimer: I don't own League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, any of the characters (except for Angie), or any other reference in here. Nor do I own Ophira who is the creation of a fellow author.
Authors Note: Yo everyone! It's Angie Holmes here with my first fic. I'm sure you all know my sis 'Phiri. I hope you enjoy seein' this through my eyes.
Prologue: 2 Weeks Later
"Tom, no!" Angie screamed as she ran into the middle of the firefight. Ophira tried grabbing at her arm and Skinner pulled her back.
"We don' want both of you caught out there, Ophira." He said softly.
"What does that girl think she is doing?" Came the thick scottish accent of Alan Quartermaine.
Angie didn't even know what she was doing, or even why she thought she could save his life, but she believed that she could. She watched angrily as their enemy pulled Tom into the building.
Angie screamed a swear and pounded her hands against the door.
"Tom..."
"Sawyer," came the hissing voice. "I know what it is you want."
"Oh, right, like I'm going to listen to our nemesis. Look, why don't you just let me go and I won't have to turn the rest of the league on you."
"It's good to see that at least you believe that." It said mockingly. "I know what it is you want. I've seen the way you stare at the Holmes girl, but she doesn't feel the same way for you, does she?"
Tome silenced. Their villain smiled, realizing that he struck a nerve. He planned on playing that for all it was worth.
"Come to the window, Tom," he said. Tom slowly walked over and looked out. He could see Angie walking back towards the rest of the league, away from where he was being held prisoner. "She turns from you."
Tom couldn't hide his disappointment. The villain smiled.
"But I can help you," he whispered into Tom's ear. "I can make her go away." Tom took a few breaths as he stared at the girl outside of the window. Suddenly he snapped out of his daze as he realized what the man was implying.
"No..."
But his reaction was to late. The villain had picked up a kaleidoscope from the back table and cracked it against the back of the boys head.
"Kill the girl..."
Tom felt his head hit the ground and could see red creeping across his eyes. "Angie..."
Angie turned and walked away from the closed door, completely unaware of the assassins positioned all around her.
"We have to get in there!" She yelled, her voice quivering.
"Come back Angie, you've done all you could." Alan shouted back to her. Angie blinked back tears and continued making her way towards the league.
Suddenly there was a gunshot ringing out behind her. She could feel a blinding pain shoot through her middle before she fell to the ground.
"Angie!" Rang out the voices of the entire group.
What could I have done differently? She thought. How could I have stopped this?
Authors Note: So there is the first chapter of my fic. What does everyone think? Does it continue the greatness of my sisters? What will chapter 2 be like? Well read on my peoples. Read, review, and all that jazz. Yeah, it's short, get used to it. Ideas are hard to come by. You'll understand why soon enough.
