We all seat ourselves in the craft. Duke is acting possessive over the case much like me with chocolate, orange juice, and apple juice. Ninja guy walks over to Ripcord and girl nursing, jams a needle into his arm. Ripcord cries out like a little kid.

"I thought all you special ops guys were tough", redhead girl says.

"We are tough", Rip says through grit teeth, then continue flirty. "But we're also sensitive."

She rolls her eyes at him. Ninja guy taps her shoulder questioningly; she gives him a slight smile before speaking.

"I'm fine, thanks."

He moves away from her back to me, he checks the bandage (he wrapped a bandage on a head wound I got when the car flipped when we first got in the craft). Rip tries touching British dude, but British dude bent his hand back before he could succeed.

"With a kung fu grip", Ripcord note with a pained voice.

Ninja boy pops out a pocket knife. My eyes bulge out, he sends me a head shake, and I nod understandingly. Okay so I'm not going to get stabbed, coolf. (A/N: Coolf- Its cool and wolf together, I say if something is cool and awesome.) Duke starts questioning their uniforms and where they originate. Morocco guy question where Duke is from.

"Duke wasn't born he was government issued", Rip interject before being forced to lie back down.

I giggle and nod in agreement. Duke turns to my ninja.

"What about you? Where you from? Duke interrogates.

"He doesn't have to tell you Duke, he doesn't know you", I tell him off at the same time redhead says. "He doesn't speak."

"Why?" Rip ask.

"He doesn't say", Morocco replies.

Hmm, he's a ninja so more likely Japanese. The only ninja clan I know there is the Arashikage clan. I wonder…

"Myst, what are you talking about? You don't know anything about him and calling him your 'best friend'. You don't even know his name", Duke reminds me.

"Silly Duke, a best friend isn't knowing all their background. It's knowing them, their habits, their likes, their dislikes. It's how you treat each other and all the memories shared", I explain. "So I don't need to know his information."

Ninja friend puts a hand on my shoulder and nods. I'm taking that as a thank you. I give him a friendly smile. Duke goes back to interrogating the team.

"So somehow you're all the same unit, but one you can't tell me the name of."

The redhead responds and Duke question more.

"You're going after those guys that hit my crew?"

His question is met with silence. He looks at all of them before continuing.

"Well whoever you are, whatever this unit is, I want in", Duke states.

This gets everyone's attention.

"I'm no war-girl, but if my brother's in, I'm in too", I announce.

Everyone looks at me as well. I roll my eyes and look at ninja man. I motion for him to seat next to me, since he's standing by me. He does as requested of him. I lay my head on his shoulder and cuddle his arm. Once I'm comfortable, even though he's stiff, I go to sleep.

My sleep doesn't last long because a little while later we land at their base. We climb out to meet their general.

"Welcome to the Pit, I've read a lot about you three", General Hawk greets.

"You can't believe everything you read", Rip says.

"We even tried to recruit you a few years back", Hawk address my brother.

"You tried stealing my brother from me? Hell no", I say.

"I don't remember any offers to join any operatives", Duke says.

"So you don't remember about four years in Thailand?" Hawk asks.

"About four years ago, my boy/brother had issues and his issues had issues", Ripcord and I say together as the platform moves down.

"I have been in the military my whole life and I have never seen an attack operation like this", Duke informs.

"And I have not been in the military at all and I have never seen an attack force like this", I announce for no reason.

"Alright since you've trusted me, I guess I'll trust you. Technically G. I Joe do not exist, but if it did it would be comprised with the top men and women from the best military units in the world. The Alpha dogs", General Hawk explains. "When all else fails, we don't."

We see many different floors on one floor this girl use this invisibility suit in a multi-person fight.

"What's that?" Ripcord asks.

"Dumbass", I fake coughs.

"Camouflage suit", British guy answers.

"It photographs everything behind you and puts it in front of you", Red explains.

We walk into some monitoring room. My feet are getting tired. I walk closer to my ninja friend.

"I'm getting on your back, my feet are tired", I whisper before hopping on his back.

He grabs hold of my legs to support me better. I rest my chin on his shoulder. The General and Duke start talking about the attack.

"We need to find out everything we can about her, knowing is half the battle."

Just as he finish a man appears in hologram form. General introduce him as McCullen the C.E.O of Mars industry the maker of the warheads.

"Obviously, you're the security we've should have chosen for this mission", McCullen compliment.

Duke instantly gets offended and defends his team. That's what I love about my brother, when he cares about something he won't let anyone say badly about it. I kind of start going in and out of the conversation.

"Ninja buddy, you want to hang out after this? You can get to know me better and help me meditate. I love meditation ever since I went to Japan and stayed with this ninja clan I can't pronounce." I offer.

He stiffens for a second before nodding his head, accepting my offer. I return my attention back to the group. McWeirdo, oops, I mean McCullen, was asking to check on the warheads. That seems like a load of dung to me but what do I know. He does of weird typing before requesting updates from the General and disappearing.

"Breaker?" Red questions Morocco guy.

Huh, I guess that's his name.

"My voice analyzers were going up, down and sideways", Breaker explains.

"Looks like McCullen's working at an angle he doesn't want us to catch", British dude says.

"Yeah, like he's really a bad guy with major plans to destroy countries and rule the planet", I joke sleepily from ninja buddy's back.

Everyone looks at me for a second before looking at each other. I hop off my ninja buddy and stand by Duke and Ripcord. Breaker starts scanning an image they got of the woman that was part of the attack. She looks like my old friend, my brother's ex-fiancée, Anna. Rip must notice to because he starts to ask but Duke silence him. Breaker and General's assistant explains how the will be able to find her with their amazing software.

"You okay?" Rip ask Duke.

Duke doesn't reply but I can see he's not. I place a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"What happened to her?" Duke asks.

Neither Rip nor I had an answer.

"Well it appears that I've been announce official custodian of the warheads. Looks like your mission has been completed here, Duke."

"When you move, she come after you, you know that right?" Duke asks. "And with her intelligence and toys, she'll find you."

"What's your point?"

"You're going after her, first we want in", He announce looking back at Rip and me.

"General, It was our team that got wasted out there, we deserve this", Ripcord explains.

"You don't ask to be a part of G.I Joe, you get asked", Hawk replies and start walking away.

"You scouted me four years ago, now I'm ready, lets have at it", Duke sends back.

Eh, I'm not really a part of this. If he can convince him then I stay, if not I raise hell and leave.

General Hawk starts tell Duke off, but Duke cuts him off.

"I know her", Duke spills the beans.

"What?"

"You said "knowing is half the battle", right?" Duke pulls out a picture from his breast pocket and shows the General. "Well I know who she is."

While Hawk looks at the picture, Duke explains.

"She was a blonde, her name is Anna Lewis, I can tell you everything about up until about four years ago. After that, obviously some things have changed."

"That girl still owes me some apple juice", I interject.

What is it 'give-Mystie-weird-looks' day? Geesh.
