It's Profile Time again! This time, we look at a Joe who needs no introduction. She's a gal who you can always count on to get the job done, and she knows more languages than anyone else in the Pit, the one, the only, Lady Jaye! (Thanks to YoJoe.com)

Lady Jaye

Real Name: Hart-Burnett, Alison R.

Grade: E-4

Primary Military Specialty: Intelligence

Secondary Military Specialty: Personnel Clerk

Birthplace: Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

Bio: A graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, one would think she was Irish thanks to the Gaelic lit she obtained there even though in reality, she's a Massachusetts girl. If Lady Jaye wasn't a member of GI Joe, she'd likely be the next Katherine Hepburn, or working for the UN as a translator. Lady Jaye is a talented actress and she can speak French, German, Italian, Polish, German, Russian, Spanish, and Portugese. A qualified Airborne and Ranger, Lady Jaye is considered one of the most valued and admired members of the GI Joe team. On a mission in Los Angeles, she, alongside Recondo and Cover Girl, found the Misfits known as Starchild and Darkstar and helped save them from Dr. Mindbender, Tomax, and Xamot. Even though Recondo ended up saddled with the Starr Brothers, Lady Jaye thinks of the radically-opposite mutant twin brothers as sons, helping to watch over them sometimes. During her time as a Joe, Lady Jaye (or "LJ", as Starchild likes to call her), met her now-husband Flint, and had a daughter by him.

Fact: Lady Jaye was the one who discovered Paul's amazing talent for impersonations when he played a joke on Flint by mimicking her voice perfectly

"YAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Kyle and Electron's fists hit each other, and thunder crackled.

"You are strong, Earthman." Electron noticed. "How did you obtain mastery over electricity?"

"I was born with it, featherhead." Kyle grinned. The two grappled in mid-air. "Let the Thunderbolt teach you how we Earthmen fight! YAH!!!" Kyle kicked Electron, then nailed him with a dropkick. "That's how it's done!"

"AAGH!!!" Smasher staggered from a hard jab from Thunderbird. The Apache warrior himself had a bruised cheek and bloody lip. They both panted. "I see you do not back down."

"My people do not believe in backing down." John panted. Smasher smirked.

"Good. I do not believe in it either. You would make a fine member of the Imperial Guard. When I retire, I think I'll call on you." The alien warrior nodded. John shrugged, fists still raised. "Of course, Earth would have to be part of the Shi'ar Empire then, like my planet."

"Who knows." John smirked. "Feel ready to continue?"

"Let's dance, as you humans would say." Smasher smirked. Evidently, a mutual respect formed between the two powerhouses. Meanwhile, Shark Man was having a rough time.

"Hold still!" Shark Man yelled, spitting ice water like crazy at a phased Astra. The red-haired alien laughed and danced.

"Awwwwwwww, poor fishy-boy!" She laughed happily. "Can't hit me! Can't hit me! Nobody can hit me when I'm not solid, baby!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Siryn wailed at Guardian. Her sonic voice made him stagger, but it also hit Astra.

"AAAAGH!!!!" She screamed, turning solid. Shark Man grinned, as he had seen it coming and covered his ears. He spit some ice water, freezing the red-haired Imperial Guardsman.

"GANGWAY!!!!! COMING THROUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!!" A familiar voice yelled, accompanied by a screech. All the fighting stopped cold.

"What?" Gladiator scratched his head. An orange jeep streaked into the street, decorated with red flames, and piloted by a certain bomb-obsessed Joe and his monkey.

Firestorm and Blast Radius…What're they up to now OH MY GOD!!! X23 screamed in her head. Firestorm appeared to be out of control. The orange jeep with the laser cannon on the back was his baby, an armor-plated convertible jeep he customized himself called the Firerunner. If anyone touched his Firerunner without permission, Firestorm got mad and blew the person's house up. His jeep was powered by nitro, and the sounds of explosions were often heard from the jeep's supercharged and heavily-modified engine. Firestorm was just as insane behind the wheel as he was with explosives: He often went at speeds of 100 mph or more, and he generally though of road signs as options he often ignored. "EVERYONE LOOK OUT!! FIRESTORM'S DRIVING AGAIN!!!"

"RUN FOR IT!!!!" The West Coast Misfits screamed at the top of their lungs, diving into the nearest buildings they could find.

"Who is this 'Firestorm' and why are they so afraid of him?" Gladiator asked the Guard. They looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Maybe he is some kind of monster." Smasher shrugged.

"GANGWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Firestorm yelled, knocking away Impulse, Shape-Shifter, and Nightside. Nightside ended up landing in the jeep. "Hey! I'm Firestorm and this is my monkey Blast Radius. Everyone calls him BR. Tell me about yourself." The red-haired Malibu Joe grinned. Nightside blinked. An explosion erupted from within the jeep, and a burst of speed was the effect.

"I like explosions…" Nightside grinned.

"What was that?" Shape-Shifter wondered. The West Coast Misfits emerged from the buildings.

"I thought Trojan forbade Firestorm from ever driving again!" Ali put her hand to her heart.

"Knowing Firestorm, I bet he threatened to blow Trojan's home up!" Rictor laughed. He saw something in the sky. "Hey, what's that?" He pointed at a landing silver spaceship. It was huge, around the size of Malibu Base.

"Ooooooooh, Gladiator's gonna get it." Astra laughed. Gladiator gulped.

Oh man, I'm gonna get it now. Gladiator moaned.

Well, a new twist? Why the heck did Firestorm drive through that street? Who's in the ship? What's Gladiator gonna get? What madness will happen next? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
