To whom it may concern:

This is actually a sequel to "Visibility", but it should stand on it's own as there is only really one large reference to the first fic. This is an action/adventure, where as the first was a romance. If you're able to stand a fluffy romance fic, then please have a go at reading "Visibility".
I just want to ask one thing: Please, don't reveal any spoilers in the reviews! You'll know what I mean when you read the story. If you want to comment about any of them please email me (on my profile page). But for the plot's sake, I would be very grateful if no spoilers are revealed.
Also, thank you to the few people who reviewed the trailor. It was a real boost.
Well, here we go again!

Setting the scene: It is a few years after "Visibility" (which was set recently after the movie) and the story begins on the Nautilus.

Chapter 1 – Boredom

It had been a very slow time for the League recently. There had been no major calls for them to help with any of the world's problems. In fact, life abroad the Nautilus was rather dull.

Nemo had promised to take them around the world, and he had been true to his word. They had travelled from continent to continent, tasting the variety of cuisines and seeing the diversity of the architecture. He had taken them to places with strange animals and weird civilizations. In fact, there was hardly an inch of land or sea that the League hadn't seen.

Yet, everything just lingered on with a slow, monotonous pace. Without the thrills and adventure of saving the world, there just wasn't enough to satisfy the wants and needs of the League's excess energy.

One such day, the five friends were sat at the dining table after a meal, discussing the very thing.

"Can't we just go out and cause some trouble for ourselves?" Skinner suggested, lying back in the dining chair, stuffed after the huge meal that Nemo's crew had made for them.

"That would hardly advertise the image we're after, now would it Skinner?" Mina replied to him. Sawyer licked his lips after finishing the final spoonful of desert he had just shovelled into his mouth.

"Mmm," he piped up, finishing his mouthful. "She's got a point Skinner." Skinner rolled his eyes, and put his hands behind his head.

"But if we don't get a mission soon," he argued. "We might as well just call the whole thing off. What's the use of being heroes if there are no villains to fight?" Sawyer pushed his plate away from him and leant forwards to address Skinner.

"We just have to be patient," he told Skinner. "We should be grateful that nothing is happening. Sure, it's not much fun for us; but isn't the world's safety more important than our own enjoyment?"

"And if we were to do as you suggested, Mr Skinner," Nemo spoke up. "What would happen when there really was an emergency? Who would help them then?" Skinner ignored this and suddenly became very interested in one of the designs on the wall beside him.

"It would be nice if there was something for us to do, though," Sawyer said after a few moments of silence. Sadly, the League agreed with him.

"Is there anywhere else we could go, Nemo? Dr Jekyll asked, trying to lift the depressed atmosphere that had fallen upon the group.

"We haven't been to Devonshire yet." Nemo replied. The whole room groaned. Anywhere but Devonshire, they all thought. Nemo frowned at the group and folded his arms. "Haven't you enjoyed yourself travelling the world?" The other started to look a little awkward, each avoiding being the first to answer his question. Mina spoke up first.

"It's not that we haven't had a wonderful time," Mina began. She looked at the others for support.

"Because we have had a wonderful time," Sawyer piped up, backing up Mina.

"And it's been great seeing all the different places," Jekyll added. "But..." He stopped. Nemo raised his eyebrows.

"But what?" he asked them, curiously. Skinner looked at each of the others in turn, and rolled his eyes.

"To put it frankly, Nemo," Skinner told him. "They haven't been the most comfortable of visits." Nemo's face dropped slightly. The others looked slightly relieved that Skinner had spoken up.

"Mongolia was cold," Skinner continued. "And I of all people know that. But did we really need to stay overnight in the Antarctic? I was surprised that any of us could move by the morning!" Sawyer stood up.

"And when we went to Portugal," he told Nemo. "I was practically eaten alive by those blasted mosquitoes." The mention of the insects made him scratch the remaining scars of the bites. Mina raised her eyebrows at him.

"You must have sweet blood," she commented, giving him a sly smile. Sawyer stepped back slightly and gave her a nervous grin back. She turned to face Nemo.

"And don't you think that the extended stay in Transylvania was a little uncomfortable for me?" Mina spoke as nicely as she could. Nemo shuffled slightly in his seat. He glared at Jekyll waiting for him to make his complaint about the travelling. Noticing this, Jekyll walked sharply out of his eye line.

"You could have told me that you weren't enjoying yourselves." He told them, feel a bit disgruntled. Jekyll emerged from behind his hiding place and raised his hand.

"I enjoyed myself." He said quickly. Mina, Sawyer and Skinner all shot him an angry look.

"We all enjoyed ourselves." Skinner told Nemo, directing the remark at Jekyll. Jekyll meekly sat once again at the table. Skinner turned to Nemo. "But we're just saying that your choice of locations could have been a little more thought out."

Nemo didn't reply and nobody really wanted to take the conversation any further.

"It would still be nice if we had something to do, though." Sawyer commented, breaking the silence.

After a few moments of awkward silence, the remaining people rose from the table and all began to walk off in their separate directions.

"Captain Nemo!" One of Nemo's crewmen ran into the room. The League stopped and turned to face him.

"What news?" Nemo asked him, importantly.

"We've had a signal on the radio," He replied. "Someone is signalling an SOS!"

There was a short pause and a smile spread across Nemo's face. He turned to face the others who were all looking as intrigued as him.

"And about time too!" Skinner exclaimed.

NB: This chapter is a lot shorter that the others will be, but I really wasn't getting on with this chapter! It's not the exact begining I want, but it'll have to do. Any comments and reviews are welcome.
