Disclaimer: I do not own G. I. Joe nor any of the characters except my own Oc's of Lt. Col. Jane Abernathy "Demon Rose (or Emily Rose)", Sgt. Henderson "Pile-Driver", Corporal First Class Jana Ling "Amethyst", and Col. Roger Stevenson "Cap". However the last three died before the story but there might be some flashbacks of them.
Synapse: Jane was part of a covert op known as the Demon Unit, but Cobra killed all of the members except her. Soon after the Joe's were cleared her Uncle started up the elite force and now she's a part of it all. Now Jane is brought into a world where people can come back from the dead.

So here's to casper, aptly named cat who didn't know when to quit whinning for food (at four in the morning). Cheers!
The Demon Rose
G. I. Joe: Renegades
Chapter 7
Jane sat in the plane between Snake Eyes and Flint. The mission was a reconnaissance mission unto itself. She was to get into the hospital un-detected with two others as back up. Then she was supposed to get more information about Cobra inventions and their workings with MARS Industries. After that she and her team were to get out. It seemed simple enough, at least in thought but something was telling her that it wasn't going to be that simple.
Flint looked at Jane to see her thinking face. It was becoming a normal habit for her to stare off and begin thinking. He had tried to convince her that she was a good analyst but she argued that she was a grunt just like the rest of them. He chuckled when she looked at him with this odd look on her face. It seemed like she was portraying excitement, anxiety, and some nervousness. "What is it Demon?" He asked, using her nickname like she had asked everyone to do.
Jane composed her emotions. "You all know I was a con artist before joining the military. I was thinking, instead of sneaking in, why don't we con our way in?"
Flint thought for a moment while everyone groaned. "You might be onto something."
"It's crazy!" Ripcord countered. "You can't expect to get in with every Cobra agent who knows your faces!"
Jane tilted her head to the side. "They don't know this face; they know my alias of Emily Rose, but not Jane Abernathy."
Everyone on the plane fell silent. Snake Eyes couldn't help but smile under his mask. Jane had always been one for the theatrics, but he didn't know she was a con artist. He put a hand on her shoulder and nodded his head.
"Whatever you say Demon," Duke sighed. "You're leading reconnaissance part of the mission anyways. I guess we should trust you."
"Thanks, now what's our ETA?"
"Fifty minutes, give or take." Ripcord replied.
"I'll come up with the con then. When we land, you better listen carefully to me then Flint, Snake Eyes. It might require you to think outside the box a little too much." Jane fell silent once more.
The rest of the plane ride was noisy. Everyone was talking about things, getting their minds off the mission as best as possible. Scarlett was staring at Jane, she was thinking about the last mission they had gone on together. Jane knew what her friend was thinking, that she shouldn't be leading this mission because she has a tendency to jump right into the danger.
Jane closed her eyes and leaned back into her seat. She was plotting her next move. That was easier said than done though.
…
Jane crouched down beside her two teammates. "All right, Flint, I need you to find one of the guards, knock him out and take his clothes. Snake Eyes, I need you to follow us in unseen. You're there incase anything goes wrong. I need to set something up, actually Flint, get two uniforms." She paused in thought. "Try to find one my size please. I know I'm small but it shouldn't' be that hard."
Flint laughed a little at her remark.
Snake Eyes looked at Jane then nodded his head. He figured out part of what she was going to do. 'What's your plan for when you get the uniforms.' He asked.
Jane pulled out a pineapple grenade and grinned sadistically. "I'm going to make a big explosion; Flint is going to pretend I'm hurt. They'll get me into the hospital and then we'll go from their."
"You're making this up as you go?" Flint sounded alarmed.
"This is a con job, you have to be flexible. So yeah I kinda am."
Snake Eyes shook his head. She always had this sense of how to do things. But sometimes that sense would take over and she became a slight danger to the team. 'If things get out of hand I'm taking over.' Snake Eyes signed.
"I know Snake Eyes, don't worry. I think this mission won't require any suicide attempts."
Flint looked at her slightly worried. "Suicide attempts?"
Jane shrugged. "Aren't you going to do what I said?" She asked as she started looking around for a good place to drop the grenade. "And remember stealthy!" She whispered harshly towards the running figure of Flint.
Flint scoffed. She was one to talk, she was going to detonate a grenade once he got back. He looked around the area, there weren't many guards as there were machines. That wasn't too strange, what was strange was that the soldiers were all as big as he was. There was no way he could find a uniform the same size as Jane. He clenched his jaw then whistled. Two that were nearby, that had heard him, came towards where he was crouched down. He waited for them to pass him and he got up. They didn't notice him. How strange he thought, they must be getting dumber every timei. He tapped them both on the shoulder then slammed their heads together when they looked back at him. He let them fall to the ground then he stripped them of their uniforms. Quickly he pulled on one f the uniforms and then went back to where Jane was. At first he didn't see her. he pressed on his ear piece. "Jane where are you?" He whispered.
"Above you," Came the response over the earpiece. Jane dropped out of the tree and stood in front of him. "There are land mines just a few feet away. I—Oh, right." She took the uniform from Flint and turned so her back was to him. She slowly started to take off her clothes and he turned around embarrassed. But before he turned away he noticed a long jagged scar running from between her shoulders and wrapping wound to her left ribs.
He didn't know if he should ask where she got the scar or leave it to her to tell him later. When she walked in front of him she was still adjusting the length of the sleeves and pant legs. "I thought I told you to find one in my size?" She asked softly.
"I couldn't find anyone that small. Most of the guards are the same size as me." He countered before noticing she was joking. She walked another few steps then pulled the pin out from the grenade. His eyes widened as she tossed in ahead of her. Flint acted quickly and grabbed her arm. He pulled her to the ground and covered her as best as possible.
Jane was surprised by Flint's actions. The following explosions made her flinch a little. One they were done she slipped out from under Flint and took out her knife.
"What are you doing?" Flint asked walking up beside her.
"Well we have to make it look good don't we?" Jane asked as she gently drew the blade across her shins. Blood began to run down her legs. Flint also realized that her face was covered in ash and he looked around to see a burnt stick lying on the ground. She walked over to Flint and handed him the knife. She pointed to her cheek right below her right eye. "Could you,"
Flint felt like protesting but he gently dragged the knife where she had pointed. Blood dribbled down slowly. He didn't like having to do that to her. "So long as we don't have to do this again, I think I might be able to live with myself."
Jane smirked a little. "Pick me up," she stated very blankly.
"Excuse me?"
Jane's eyes looked at him in disbelief. "I said pick me up soldier, or do we want to leave now?"
Flint picked her up and started to move towards the hospital entrance. People had started to move towards where the explosion had come from. "I stepped on a mine, he pushed me out of the way but he's hurt badly." Flint stated as some doctors rushed towards him. They brought out a gurney and lay Jane on it.
The doctor's rushed Jane away. Flint followed for some time until one of the nurses told him he had to wait in the lobby.
…
Jane waited for the Doctors to begin to cut her pant legs before sitting up right. As she did so she brought out a Tazer and touched each of the Doctors causing them to pass out. She found one of the shorter doctors, took off their scrubs, lab coat and pass card. She then stripped out of the uniform she was wearing and walked out.
…
Flint sat patiently in the lobby. Suddenly a gentle hand touched his shoulder. "Sir, your partner is going to make it. He's resting patiently in my office."
Flint chuckled. He should have known Jane was able to handle herself. He got to his feet and followed her. She swiped the pass card in front of a door then went into the office.
i No the author just felt like being stupid, and she doesn't know how to write fighting sequences for guys vs. guys. She does know how to write them when it's guy vs. girl, guy vs. monster, girl vs. girl and etc.
A/N: All right, you know the drill, same as the other chapters. However, if i get a flame or a troller, i will show no mercy. my cat just died and i ain't home to do anythign about it. i is in no good mood. Currently i am working on chapter 20, i'm posting my The Amethyst Stone, a spin off of this one with the character Jana Ling. I'm really working hard to understand some of what i am creating for that one. It spin off of this one at about chapter three for this story. I'm also working on a story called The Logical Listener, which comes off of this one around chapter sixteen, i thinks. My friend is working on a spin off as well. Still, r and r please!
