I'm back, with the next chapter of this fic, I pretty much have figured out what happens in evry chapter onwards and all I have to do is write it, so don't worry about an abandonment.
Thanks for the Reviews, I'm glad for the positive responses and all those who have offerd to Beta. My replis are below.
For the Trailler:
ElvenBookwyrm: Thanks for your feadback and I'll review you sometime.
Silent Bob 546: Well thank you! I am also obsessed about Ock as well, I wish he had his own comic series, I mean Catwoma get's her own series but Doc Ock dosn't? Has the world gone Mentally Unstable?
And John Lee is Chow Yun Fatt's Chinese character from The Replacement Killers. Daveykins: I'm suprised no one has beaten me to use Otto, thank you.
For Chapter One:
ElvenBookwyrm: Thank you for your offer and I accept, Chapter 3 will be on it's way to you soon.
queerquail: I'm glad this has appealed to you, and my keyboard has a glitch-prone bad keys so sometime I hit 'N' or 'L' and the letter does not make it to the documet and I don't even notice, which happens to be very embarassing if I type the word 'Public' )
Silet Bob 546: If you think an agent passing out and a few politicians arguing is cool, you'll be glad by the rest.
Discalimer: I do not own the concept of the league which belongs to Alan More and Kevin O'Neil, nor do I own 'Buffy the vampire Slayer', 'The Replecement Killers,' 'No one lives forever' or 'Spider-Man'.

0205 Hours
"Where are you going Sue?" Yelled the running George.
"Yeah.. Why don't you stick around, well have some fun...." followed Roger with a sadistic laugh.
Suzan was a young girl that just happened to turn 17 that day, and to celebrate the occasion she came up with the idea of sneaking into a nightclub using a fake ID. As if that wasn't foolish enough she decided to commit a lot of flirtation with four older young muscular men called Roger, George, Dave and Tim 1. Well one thing led to another and now she found herself in this situation: A 17 year old 105 pounder running in the dark allys of Vancouver late at night, with Four Men hot on her trail and with a single disgusting thought on their minds.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" she yelled after them, she was getting tired, she wasn't the athletic type and she was being held back by her clothing, 'Why do women wear these anyway?' she briefly thought to herself.
"Is someone playing hard to get?" cried out Tim.
She had then made a quick turn into another dark alley hoping it might give her some place to hide.
"LEAVE ME ALONE! PLEASE!" she cried again as she looked back at those who were after her. Her looking back was the cause of an Incident, as she felt a hard object making contact with her, the collision caused both to fall to the ground.
"Watch where you're bloody going! Stupid b..." came a feminine British-accented voice from the other body.
Suzan stood up to run again but came to the shocking realization that she was at a dead end; the ally she was in was blocked with a chain-link fence and the only way to get out of there was the way she came in from, as she looked around she realized there was nothing there but her, the brit woman and a dumpster.
"You have to help me!" she pleaded to the other woman who had stood up by then, she was in her early thirties and quite the beautiful creature; Green eyes, log auburn hair and a slender form, she was noticeably pale though. She was wearing Jean trousers, a black shirt and a brown leather jacket.
"Help you from what?" she impatiently asked.
"She's in here, I saw her turn." Came the voice of one of the four me as they we're approaching the entrance of the ally.
"Oh no!" muttered a wide-eyed Suzan in fear as she hurried to hide behind the Dumpster.
George, Tim, Roger and Dave entered the ally, to find only the standing brit who simply kept calm. They approached her like predators approaching a cornered prey; they all kept circling her as if they were to inspect her.
"Hey there..." said a Deviously grinning Roger.
"Good evening." she dryly replied.
"Say, a girl friend of ours came here just moments ago, did you see her?" asked Dave.
"Mini-Skirt, 5'2", brow hair, around 17." followed Tim.
"Well Gentlemen you're in luck, it just happens to be that a girl of that description came here just moments ago and is now hiding behind that dumpster." she replied gesturing towards the Dumpster.
Suzan gasped behind the Dumpster, 'how could she?' she thought. She suddenly felt the solid fingers of Roger clutch her forearm and yank away her from her hiding spot, she grunted in pain as he pulled her into the ally.
"Well thank you honey. You know, you're very beautiful." said Tim to the Brit.
"Thank you." she dryly replied.
"Breath-taking actually." said Dave.
"Again, thank you."
"Yeah, what do you say about hanging with us for a while?" said Roger as Suzan struggled to escape him.
"I told you where she was; but I didn't say you can take her." said the brit very calmly.
"Come again?" asked George.
"Let her go and be kind enough to leave." she demanded assertively.
"This is hilarious." chuckled Roger.
"Let her go and be kind enough to leave." she repeated.
"I think she want's to come along for the ride." said Tim with a chuckle.
"Let her go and be kind enough to leave." she said for the third time.
"I don't mind, sure is a pretty thing, seem's like a screamer." said Dave as he approachd to grab her.
But he'd probably regret that as the Mysterious Brit grabbed his wrist, twisted it and shoved him to collide with Roger, both men fell down and Suzan was freed from Roger's grip.
"Stay behind me." she told Suzan who instantly obeyed.
"You're going to regreat that." said Roger as he and Dave got up.
All four men lunged towards her just to realize she is more than meet's the eye as she was able to dispatch of all four men with kicks and punches and knocked them to the ground.
"What the f.." said Roger before he was interrupted by a kick to the side of the head.
"Had enough?" asked the brit as she paused.
Roger then whipped out a pocket knife while Tim and Dave picked up some crowbars that we're there and George grabbed a chain that was on the ground.
"Fine, let's have it your way."
Tim swung the crowbar at her but she was able to duck the shot as well as the two that followed, George's chain found it's way to her neck however, but as she saw the crowbar coming back she pulled the chain along with George to her and the crowbar collided with the back of George's head Knocking him out cold.
The action fazed Tim log enough for his opponet to snatch away the crowbar and ram it into his gut, as he hunched over she hit him in the back and he fell to the ground unconscious as well. That left her with Roger and Dave, the second swung his crowbar at her but she blocked it with a swing of her own before punching him away and blocking an attempted stab by Roger and knocking the knife away, just so the knife would fall into Dave's hands ad he could stab her in the side as she was pounding on Roger. Suzan shrank if fear as the brit fell to the ground howling in pain, seeing as how the opponent was down and soon will be out, they headed to a trembling Suzan with a world of rage in their eyes.
The Battle was not over yet as George's chain was slung to Roger's neck and he was pulled down to the ground, Dave looked over his shoulder to see the brit fully recovered holding the chain in her hands and kicking Roger in the face knocking him out cold as she did with Tim and George before him.
"That BLOODY hurt." she said pointing at her bloody side.
He tightend his grip on his knife and gritted his teeth, she dropped the chain to the ground and stood unarmed, all of a sudden he lunged at her with all his might.
Her reaction was swift and effective. She took the knife wielding arm and twisted it violently causing him to scream in pain and drop it, then drove his face into her knee and topped it all by grabbing his throat and Chokeslaming him to the pavement.
All four men were now down, Suzan stepped up to her savior who was kneeling next to Roger. "Thank you, you saved me, I don't know what to sa..." she said thankfully before noticing the blood on her side caused by Dave, "We have to take you to a hospital, you're hu...." she followed before she was interrupted by the brit saying: Leave.
"What?!" she asked.
The Brit turned around to look at her, there was something strange about her, her eyes turned from Green to dark Red she had long pointy fangs sticking out of her jaws.
"Leave."
That was all it took for her to run away in fear for her life, wondering if this all was one big nightmare.
The brit however stayed behind with Roger, as she forced him onto his knees and sunk her teeth into his neck. She felt a faint moan of pain come from the young man but she disregarded it and resumed feeding.
All of a sudden she heard a voice come calling from the other side of the ally.
"Miss Murray?"
She was surprised by the sound, who would know where she was at this time and know her name? She dropped Roger and looked up sheathing her fangs, she saw a dark figure approaching.
"Yes.." she said confirming her Identity.
"Mina Murray?" came back the feminine British accented voice.
"Yes, that's me. Who are you?"
Dame Cate Archer stepped up to her and said: "Have it been that long?"
Mina seemed to ponder her Identity for a few seconds.
"Cate?" asked Mina.
"Cate indeed." said Cate with a smile, both women then approached each other and wrapped their arms around each other in an embrace.
"You've aged well." said Mina warmly as they parted.
"You haven't aged at all." replied a smiling Cate.
"Well, it comes with the whole Undead Creature of the night status."
"Care to explain that?" asked Cate indicating the four motionless bodies.
"Long story. Well it's not very long but It's quite boring."
"I see. You wouldn't mind picking up the conversation somewhere else, would you?"
"Not at all.."
30 Minutes later......
"We were such a sight to see, those were the days.." said Cate as she flipped an old photo showing her at the age of Thirty and Mina sometime in the seventies, both wearing cloths appropriate to that era.
"The Trigger-happy girl and her Blood-Sucking friend.." commented Mina.
"Another round of beer for us." called Cate to the bartender who nodded in acknowledgment.
They both had went to a quiet pub near by that was rather empty save for them and a few other patrons, they were chatting over drinks like the two old friends that they we're, catching up on each other's news.
"Got any family?" asked Mina.
"No, you?"
"I haven't remarried if that what your asking, burying two husbands was enough.." said Mina as the drinks arrived.
"How about your descendants?" asked Cate, taking a sip of her beer.
"They are around, I try to see them often, I've even made friends with Drew, she's Quincy Junior's daughter."
"But you haven't told her that you're her Immortal great Grandmother?"
"Naturally." said Mina as she took a swing of her drink.
"I'm really enjoying this, I am, but when are you going to say why have you bothered to catch up after all this time?" asked Mina as she put down her glass.
"Ever the straight shooter you are Mina."
"You know me."
Cate paused for a moment to think where to start from, but finally decided and said: "Shortly after we left the League, all records in MI5 that Indicated the Existence of such a group was destroyed, It's headquarters was used as a storage room, It was erased from existence. A few years after that the UN adopted the concept and formed a multi-national league that served to preserve world peace, We..."
"'We'? You've gone back to work for them?" asked a surprised Mina.
"Not Instantly, but as I was saying; We have prevented several potential world wars in the past 30 years and many International crisis's, Ten years ago I was given a job semilar to M's. I now run the League." she continued, "The world as we speak is under the threat of an epidemic, only this one has no cure nor antidote, unless the nations of this world all pay a hefty price." she completed.
"Figures, I haven't seen you in 25 years and when you show up it's about business." said Mina as she rolled her eyes and took another swig.
"We... the world needs you, again." pleaded Cate.
"Does it now?" said the Vampire with amusement in her voice. "We need a scientist, a fighter.... We need a leader.."
"What if you say no?" asked Mina.
"Are you declining?" "I didn't say that."
"So you accept!"
"I didn't say that neither, I'm mearly asking what will the direct consequences of me not accepting could be."
"I'll go find another scientist who is wise and strong enough to be a leader and a fighter, and since we don't have much time left I was hoping that I already found one."
Mina kept silent as she finished her beer, while Cate looked at her waiting for an answer.
"If you need time to think then you have till tomorrow dawn to decide. I'll meet you in the park, give me your decision."
The Following Day....
Dawn
Cate sat at the park bench wrapping her fingers around a stirophome cup of coffee, her brown eyes scouted the area looking for any sight of her friend, It was nearing sunrise and she thought her friend is more likely to arrive before that happened.
All of a sudden she heard the flapping of wings mixed with a squeaking sound, she looked over her shoulder to see a flock of bats flying till they were near her where they blended into a standing figure of Mina.
"Good morning." said Mina.
"Good morning, I trust you have a decision?" asked Cate.
"I have."
Mina sat down next to Cate on the bench, she looked at the golden rays of sunlight brush over the landscape till it reached them and uttered her discussion.
"I'll do it."
