A/N: This is my very first G.I. Joe story.

"So you remember you have a brother," Rex said to Ana from inside his cell. Ana opened her mouth to speak, but Rex cut her off. "Let me guess, you don't have a brother anymore. Or maybe you were going to say your brother is dead."

"Shut up Commander," She said to him. "I'm only here because," "You want me to reveal how to get the nano-mites out of your body. Am I correct?"

"Yes."

"You must think me a monster, don't you Ana?"

"You tried to KILL ME!"

"If I had wanted you dead Anna, you never would have made it out of the Arctic fortress. But that's not the point. If you really want to be freed from the nano-mites you know what you must do."

"I'm not going to free you Commander and there isn't anything you can say that will change my mind."

"I'm still family, Ana."

"I have a new family now."

"Ha ha ha ha," The Commander lightly chuckled. "Do you really think the Joes will accept you as one of their own, especially after what you did?"

Ana remained silent before turning to leave. "This conversation's over."


"Are you sure these doctors know what they are doing?" Ana asked Duke nervously on the hospital bed.

"Relax Ana. These are some of the best doctors on Earth. I'll be right with you the entire time." He put a comforting hand on Anna shoulder and she tried to ease up some. The doctors entered her room shortly after and put her under anesthesia. Anna remained asleep for what seemed like hours, but then something went wrong. It felt as if her insides were being torn up. She jolted awake and was met with a great horror. The nano-mites were eating here alive! Anna looked around the room, but saw that nobody was there. She was by herself.

"Somebody help me!" She screeched at the top of her voice. Anna woke up from her nightmare completely covered in sweat.

"Ana? Are you ok?" Duke asked half-asleep.

"I'm fine Duke. Just a bad dream is all. Go back to sleep."

"Won't argue with that." He replied and then he was back out.

Ana rose from their bed and went to the closet. She input Duke's access code and took out the camouflage suit.

"I'm sorry Duke," She apologized. Then she was gone.


Scarlett sat in the control room, which controlled everything (and they meant everything), completely bored. Things had been pretty quiet on Earth ever since they took down Cobra. While she was scanning the monitors she noticed Ripcord was taking a shower and couldn't help herself. She messed with the temperature of the water.

"YAAA, COLD!" He shouted and fell down. Scarlett nearly fell out of her seat laughing. She heard the doors to security room open and said, "You're here early (thinking it was the relief shift)." Something grabbed her head from behind and slammed her face against the control panel knocking her out. Ana pushed Scarlett off the control panel and searched her for the cell keys.

"Thanks Red," Ana thanked and rose to her feet to walk off. She stopped when she heard the safety of a gun being clicked off.

"Turn around slowly and carefully, Ana." Ana did as she was told. "I knew we couldn't trust you, but Duke was so ready to believe you had changed." Scarlett kept the gun pressed right into Anna's chest.

"What are you going to do now, Scarlett? Kill me?"

"Believe me I'd like to." Suddenly Ana's hand shot out and grabbed Scarlett's gun with almost inhuman speed. She punched her in the jaw making her see stars and fall to the floor. While she fought to stay conscious she slammed her fist into the alarm.

Anna quickly ran to the control panel and punched one of the buttons before quickly exiting the room with the door automatically shutting behind her. Scarlett rose to her feet, and attempted to give chase, but the door was locked. She went to the control panel and saw that Anna had smashed the door locking mechanism.

Duke rolled out of his bed when the alarm began blasting.

"Ana!" He called out, but she was nowhere to be found. He then saw the door to his room began to automatically shut. He made a break for it and dove just in time to get out of the room. He pulled out his gun and ran for the Cell room.


Snake Eyes was busy sharpening his blades when the alarm was sounded. The door to his room slammed shut before he could reach it. Never being one to give up Snake Eyes searched his room for a way out.


Duke was running faster than he ever had in his life. He couldn't let Ana do what he believed she was going to do. He spotted her just a few hallways from the Cell Block and fired a warning shot. Ana stopped and faced Duke.

"You're going to free the Commander aren't you?" Duke asked walking closer to her, gun pointed straight at her heart.

"I'm sorry Duke, but this is the only way I can get the nano-mites out of my system." Duke unlocked the safety on his weapon when she said that. "Well doesn't this look familiar?" Ana said referencing a time when Duke had a chance to shoot her, but didn't.

"Don't make me do this, Ana,"

"If you were really going to kill me you would have done it by now."

"You're right," Duke agreed and a shot rang out. Ana looked down at her heart and was horrified by the blood that was pouring out.

"Duke," she whispered before he shot her again. He walked over to her lifeless corpse (her eyes were wide in shock). But when he bent down to close them, her hand shot out and grabbed his wrist.

"What the hell! ?" He shouted in surprise. The two of them looked down at Ana's heart and witnessed something green mending it. The nano-mites were actually healing her wound. Ana's head shot up and revealed a sadistic smile. She drove her fist into Duke's chest and sent him flying off her.

When he rose to his feet Ana stared at him with a beyond ticked off look and said, "Consider us broken up." Her hands went to her back pocket and pulled out a pulse gun. Duke fell to the floor to avoid the blast and opened fire with his own gun. She dodged every shot Matrix style. She fired her gun at the ceiling above him. Duke jumped back and avoided being crushed.

"Darn it!" He cursed punching the wall while pulling out his communicator. "Ana's on her way to free the Cobra-Commander and I've been cut off. Is there anybody that can intercept?" Duke's question was answered by the entrance to the ventilation duct above him crashing down. Snake Eyes momentarily appeared then pulled his head back up.


"Ana. To what do I owe this unexpected visit?" The Cobra-Commander asked when she came to his cell.

"It's like you said, Rex. You're still family." She unlocked both the gates for the Commander and Destro. As they exited the Cell block Snake Eyes came rushing at them both swords drawn. Ana charged him and knocked one of his swords out of his hands. She deflected his strikes with ease and kicked him in the side. Snake Eyes went down and grabbed the side of his chest.

"And you thought the nano-mites were a curse," the Commander said as they headed for the hanger. As they began to board one of the Joes jets, Duke ran into the hangar shouting, "ANA!" He fired all the bullets in his gun, but wasn't at a close enough range. Rexx pulled out a sniper's rifle from the jet and shot Duke in the leg. When he went down he aimed the gun at his head.

"Good bye old friend." The Commander said and fired. It all happened in slow motion; the bullet flew at Duke, who was helpless to dodge. But just when the bullet was about to end his life Snake Eyes appeared from out of nowhere and deflected the bullet with his sword.

"What's that thing made of?" Duke wondered.

They were too late, however, to stop the Cobra team from escaping.

A/N: Yes it is because of the nano-mites that Ana has developed some superhuman abilities. Hope you likedthis.
