Thanks you guys for all the reviews, views, favourites and follows, I was not expecting such a turn out so thank you!
Disclaimer: I do not own G.I. Joe if there would be a lot more Snake Eyes and more romance
No one was expecting a shot to ring out.
Everything happened in slow motion then. I heard the shouts and screams of the crowd and Joes, yet I didn't move. I stood stock still as the bullet came closer and closer to me. A hand wrapped around my right upper arm and started to pull me away but as they did I felt a fiery pain in my arm, I cried out as the pain continued throughout my whole arm, time speeded up then as I closed my eyes and fell onto my knees clutching my arm as blood seeped out of it at a neverending pace. I could hear Commander Heavy Duty shouting for the crowd to go and leave then I heard a raspy and old voice say loudly
"All associates of the Joes must die!" He reapeted this sentence three times before another shot rang out. On hearing the sound I squeaked and shuffled slightly back
"He's dead" I heard Commader say there was a slight sigh as I heard Captain reply
"I can see that, what about the other guy?" He asked I didn't hear a answer so I assumed that meant he was gone, also there was no screaming about how I deserved it or something like that. I became aware of hands trying to pry my hand off the injured hand, I clung on tighter not knowing who it was and I was too scared to open my eyes and see who it was. The hands stopped suddenly and I heard boots running over
"Hey kid, can you open your eyes for us" A voice I regonised as Captains said. I hesitated slightly before opening them when I did the scene I saw nearly made me throw up, blood was sprayed everywhere, some of it mine but most of it looked like another persons. I also saw Commander Heavy Duty blocking something from my sight as well as this I saw Captain Duke kneeling infront of me, he smiled slightly when he saw my eyes open
"There we go, I know that it hurts but do you think you can move your hand and let Snake Eyes look at it and fix it up?" He asked I looked to my left and saw Snake Eyes looking at me with his head slightly tilted I gulped slightly
"O-Of course, Sorry sir" I said before carefully and slowly removing my hand from the wound wincing slightly as it caused pain to flare up as I moved it slightly. Snake eyes immediately got to work, getting medical things out that I had no clue what they were called or anything. Captain Duke, seeing what Snake Eyes was doing started asking me questions
"So, what's your name? I can't keep calling you kid forever" He asked, smiling slightly
"My names Lyndsey Pearson and I'm not a kid, I'm eighteen years old and have been for the past six months" I said, huffing slightly, Captain laughed at my expression
"But your so short though!" He said, still laughing. I smiled as well, it was true I was barely 5"4 let alone avaerage height I thought carefully before saying my answer
"But great things come in great packages" I said, trying to wise but failing. A small
prick in my arm had me wincing as I turned around and saw a needle in my arm Snake Eyes patted my arm in what I hopped was an apologetic way, but couldn't be to sure since he, you know doesn't talk and all.
" Guys! General Hawk wants to talk to us all! Including the girl!" A British voice said I turned my head away from the silent but amazing ninja toward the dark skinned man known as Commander Heavy Duty
"This girl has a name" I mumbled, Snake Eyes who had obviously heard shook with silent laughter. Commander Heavy Duty ran over to us carrying a high-tech gizmo which I did not know the name of or the brand though it could possibly be Apple... I had no time to say anything though as a blue beam came out if said gizmo and revealed a tall man wearing camos and a green beret, the soldiers who could automatically went straight to attention
"At ease, Soldiers" he said, the two soldiers immediately relaxed though the man continued talking
"I heard what happened." He stated simpily, I stiffened up but then loosene off when Snake Eyes lightly slapped me on the shoulder reminding me that he was still working
"How did you hear what happened?" Captain Duke said looking quite shocked at the quick knowledge gain of his superior officer
"Your the top story in the local news, it didn't take much for me to understand that when the headline is 'G.I. Joe recruitment test ends in a shooting' it involves us. But what I want to know is why didn't you stop it when you saw those kids arguing?" He continued on it was then I decided to make myself known to the officer
"Tha would be my fault Sir, I was defending Snake Eyes when the 'kid' was insulting him. Clearly it wasn't my place to do so and I apologise for doing so. However, I do also admit that the Joes did break up the fight and were clearly going to send everyone back home on end it, but the shooter guy shot one shot and if I had of actually moved out of the way I could have stopped this getting any uglier and also possibly stopped his screaming of 'All associates of the Joes must die!' So, I really apolgise for any mess I have caused in this and I will try and do my best to either pay for damages or help out in anyway possible" I said Looking down at my legs, which had miraculously escaped being banged up The tall man lookedk at me for a second before speaking to the soldiers in front of me
"I want all of you on a plane within the next two hours and that includes the girl" he said, I whipped my head around to look at him as the the soldier infront of me started protesting even Snake Eyes was waving his hands about
"But sir, why? It's not like she's an asset to this mission or even the team it doesn't make any sense" Commander Heavy Duty said next to me Snake Eyes was nodding his head whilst wrapping up my arm in a thick white gauze
"As I can see from her file, she may prove to be a very good asset to the team, if she passes the tests that is. Oh, Let's not forget she defended one very important member of your team and if she didn't, Snake Eyes may have become a laughing stock of the whole of the city" The leader-man said looking at what I realised was my file. Commander Heavy Duty still looked like he didn't want to to go with it but sighed and gave up. That was when I decided to speak up
"Not trying to be smart or anything here but where exactly are you?" I asked looking puzzled at the mysterious loction this man was in
"Why don't you come and see" was all he said.
