Family

I brush my long hair and smile slightly to the mirror. Behind me was a very handsome blond hair, blue eyes, mute with a scar going across his face. He wrap his arms around me burying his face in to my shoulder. "Love, you should," I softly gasp as he softly bit my neck. A low moan left my lips and then he pulled away. I sent him a playful glare. "You should get ready." I told him with a pout when he actually listen to me. He kissed me then climb in to the shower. I finish getting dress but the dress I'm being force to wear won't zip for me.

A moment past then it zipped up. I looked back to Snake Eyes, now semi dressed. He has his pants on and boots. He doesn't have on his shirt, gloves, or mask yet. I turn around kissing him deeply. Moments like this I hate our schedules.

This will be my group's last 'clean up mission.' After this mission we will be official Joes and get to go on to base. That in mind now I had to pull away. We will have time to ourselves eventually.

I know he's away at his dojo training with one of his masters whenever he can. I can understand that. I would do the same if Sifu didn't get sick like he is. I'm worried about the old man but he says not to be. If something happens to him Antonio has to take his place. Antonio will call all advance students forward and we'll fight till only one stands and they'll be Antonio's second. Really the title is first. Second only gets title if first denies it or isn't alive anymore.

I don't want to think about that so I softly peck Snake Eyes. He finish getting dress and waited for me to put on my shoes. Walking carefully holding Snake Eyes's arm I could hear Sarah laughing at me.

"Can kill people with barely a touch but can't walk in high heels with out face planting." she laugh out smiling to me.

"Be nice to her, Sarah. She was the one that took the bullyin' for ya if ya don't remember." Hatcher said from his spot on the counter. His glasses glare from the laptop. His dark sandy hair like a mop covering his face, only slightly. He looks slightly scary but far from it.

"Thanks for remembering me, James." She used his real name which got an apple thrown at her by Yu Lee. Sarah rubbed where the fruit hit her and I smile. This is my family. Not all of them but some. It's both some of my past, Sarah and Hatcher, and present Yu Lee and Snake Eyes.

"Lets get this over with!" Lacy cheered coming in to the room. Another of my present day family. She's hyper all of the time but it's not annoying if you know her past. She's not jumping off the walls hyper but just hyper.

I climb in to the limo that Hatcher is driving Snake Eyes sat next to me squeezing my hand softly. We, my group minus Hatcher and Snake Eyes, are going in undercover. I slip my head piece in leaning against Snake's hand as he covered it with my hair. "You two are giving me cavities." Sarah said with a light grin when I blush. My sisters all laugh but it was dropped. All four of us will go in and make sure no one goes to the area Snake Eyes has to be. He'll take care of security on his own we just need to make sure no one else get involve.

Snake Eyes start to get out but I grab his arm. He stop and I sign in to his side and he touch the back of my neck. This is our substitution to say how we feel for each other. At least for now. "Stay safe." I told him. He nod getting out. I've still worry but now at least not as much. He always stay true to his promises and he just did promise me.

"Ready or not here we come." Sarah said once the limo made a full stop. I've lean against the door then collect myself for my mask that I've hide my true emotions behind. It's metaphorically speaking anyway, not a real mask. Hatcher open the door for us to get out. Sarah in her navy blue dress and black heels first. Lacy in her red silky dress and shoes next.

Yu Lee was next in her Chinese design dress and sandals. I took a deep breath reciting the things to keep me from face planting through my head. Keep shoulders straight. Stand proper and walk even strides. Don't rush myself but don't be scared to walk. Nice smile to the people dressed up. "You look natural. Doing Mama Mo's tips?" Sarah only half teased me in a slight whisper.

"Oh hush. I'm just looking forward to getting back to the hotel." I stated the truth and we walked to the man holding door open for us.

"Welcome ladies to the-" I've tune him out smiling. We walked to the areas we all need to be. East wing cleared. I looked back to West wing where Sarah is she did clear symbol. Yu Lee was going upstairs and Lacy at the North Wing of the building already beep twice. That's no go for North Wing. I've can't leave my post. Snake Eyes needs an all clear. He really doesn't it just makes things easier. Mine was fine for now and I walked slightly smiling. Each of us are 'representatives' from different countries. I'm France, look at that, I laugh when Hatcher told me that was the one that I could replace. Yu Lee is China's with obvious reasons. Lacy is Greenland. Finally Sarah is Russia. How she got Russia I have no idea. She speaks it yes. She's better at German than Russia though.

"Tu es très belle aujourd'hui." /You look beautiful today./ I heard the voice I so hate. I turn and smile sweetly to the man I know from my past.

"Tu es magnifique vous Jon ou devrais-je vous appeler Grenade?" /You look stunning yourself Jon or should I call you Grenade?/ I asked the man behind me. He's a Joe I know from my past. He nod his head at me.

"May I ask who this lovely lady is?" a man came over to us.

"This is Josephine Noel, she is representing France." The man turn to the newest man. Instincts kicked in and I scan him finding any threats in him. He's tall skinny and doesn't look athletic. He's an older man but not old. I smile to him and bow my head to him. He's Japanese origins.

"Does she speak?" the man asked eyeing me carefully.

"Pas même dans vos rêves pervers." /Not even in your dreams pervert./ I said smiling and Jon snicker then shook his head.

"Not English, sir." He said glancing to me. "Se comporter ou je vais lui dire que vous agissiez à nouveau." /Behave or I will tell her you were acting up again./ he said turning to me. I wanted to stick my tongue out at him but didn't. Her is being my Master of sword but I haven't spoken or seen her in a long time. She still writes to me but I haven't really open them. Been busy lately and do you blame me? We didn't leave out on good terms anyway.

"Well if that's the case, I was told Greenland, China, France, and Russia all came in in one limo." He said looking around. "All four being beautiful woman of that race." He then spotted my red head. "I shall see if Russia can speak English." He bid his goodbyes and walked off.

"Creep-alert." I grumble after he was out of hearing range.

"Behave." Jon told me and walked off. His details already in my mind and I know he will never be a threat so why should I really scan him. Though he does look good in a suit. His shaggy hair was in a nice comb back and pony tail. He looks different but he's still the big softy I've known for years. Same foster home and all. He got his nickname then later code name by his obsession of exploding things so they started to say he's like a grenade that he so loves because one day he was going to explode himself.

I walked around still making sure no one went down the hall and when they did I got them out by getting them confused. Easy to do when you can speak a lot of different languages. They all left easy enough. I sigh when I got the signal from Sarah and Yu Lee that it was time to go. Lacy walked over to me and we entwine our arms as we walked. No one notice when we left one by one but not one after another. Lacy went first and then a moment later it was Yu Lee. I walked up to Grenade and bid my goodbye and then walked out. A few minutes later Sarah came out and we all already in Hatcher's limo. "All went smooth?" he asked looking at us through the rear view mirror.

"Yep." Sarah said smiling and we all started to smile. A moment later the sunroof open up and Snake Eyes jump in through it. "Got what we need?" She asked him and he flash a flash drive out of his pocket and then slipped it back. I smile curling up to him. He lean forward resting his head on mine. We can finally be completely together now, hopefully.

We got to the hotel and I was finally able to get out of these shoes. I went in to my and Snake Eyes's room stripping and then went in to the shower. He came in through the window then closed it and the curtains. He turn to the open bathroom door and I could see him as I finish slipping off my clothes. First thing to go was the devil-trap shoes that was before I even closed the front door. The rest was slower than that. He walked in and unhook my bra and slid it off of my shoulders. I was completely naked in front of him. He motion me in to the shower. I got in and he start to strip too. First to go was his mask and visor. I watch as his hair moved with his movements. His eyes open and his blue eyes just sent shivers down my spine. He's so handsome when he gives me that look. He makes me want him so badly.

He slip off his gloves and then the next thing was his shirt. I turn my head and flip the water from the fountain to the shower it self. He by now was in nothing and was climbing in when we were looking at each other something just click. This is how things are meant to be. Him and I are meant to be like this. We are meant to be this close. I went up to kiss him but as our lips connect someone knocked down the door to our room and he was out of the shower before I. He grab his clothes and got dress in super human speed I swear. I got out and slip on my jeans I wore before I got in the dress and slip on my hoodie having no time to find my shirt and bra. Snake Eyes grab my hand pulling me up on top of the sink then motion up. I look up to see a vent and climb up with him behind me. "In here water's going!" I heard someone yelled.

"Come out of there peacefully and we won't kill ya." the guy yelled and I had to roll my eyes. We kept crawling till we above Sarah's room and I look down to see she was caught as was Lacy and Hatcher. Where's Yu Lee? I kept crawling and wondering what type of place is this if their vents are really big enough to army crawl through. Right now I'm just happy it is. We got to the fans and then stop I didn't know what to do, Sarah and Yu Lee are the smart ones. They can figure out anything. Me? I'm just the person who makes sure it happens.

'What now?' I sign to Snake Eyes as he looked around. He didn't know I could tell. They will be looking for us soon. I went down one vent and glance around before anyone could see me and dropped down when I saw it was all clear. He jumped down too and I pull my hoodie around me tightly. My family is most important thing to me so I'm not leaving them. "I'm not leaving them." I whisper harshly to him when he tried to get me to go through the exit.

He shook his head and then explain. 'I do not want you to leave just we need a plan. Lets get out and watch where they take them then get them before they get to their destination. Plus we have to find Lee.' He sign to me and I fill in the rest. Some of it I missed and had to figure out what he was saying.

I nod my head in agreement. That I can do for now but I am not leaving them, ever. I ran ahead of him and slipped in to a nook between rooms and smile when they walked past me with Sarah and Lacy who both saw me. I put my finger on my eye then ear and they signal they understood. They were going to be the ears I will be the eyes. Walking around carefully I watched as they pulled out with Hatcher who was freaking out. He's not train like us, none of his brothers are too. I sigh as I watch them and than Snake Eyes came back with Yu Lee who apparently jumped down a clothes shoot for the maids uses only. I got up and pulled a gross looking rag off of her head and she gag. I nod my head and motion them to follow. I got the parking lot and notice I don't have my keys for my bike, Sarah does. I growl and then Yu Lee motion to Hatcher's truck. It'll work. I can hotwire it, have many times before.

A lot of memories in this truck. It was Daddy Hatch's truck then given to Hatchet and eventually given to Hatcher to use. Hatch is their last name and they got their nicknames mostly based off of it. I remember about the key problem and got the screwdriver from the back and the other two didn't question but got in as I stuck the screwdriver in key spot and twist making it crank up. Yu Lee looks surprise. "James never mention that." She said surprise and I laugh pulling out and following the black vans a safe distance.

"He doesn't know about it. Don't tell him either." I stated as we drove. "Snake, is it normal for our people to be kidnapped when we have a successful mission?" I asked him. He shook his head. "Do you know how they tracked us?" I asked as I saw them pull out on to a side road and I waited a few minutes then followed them.

"I think I know how." Yu Lee spoke then pointed ahead of us. I glance to see the doors man standing outside of an old barn. Where we are no one can see us but we can see them. Before I could say or do anything Snake Eyes told us to wait. He gave Yu Lee the flash drive then got out of the truck. He went in to the woods and was gone. "How long have it been?" Yu Lee asked after a while and I glance at the radio remembering that this was an old truck it doesn't have a built in clock. I reach in to my pocket and sigh.

"Don't know. Feels like an hour but you know how bad me telling time by feeling is." I stated and she nod her head in agreement. Snake Eyes came back with a bruised up Hatcher and sore looking Lacy and Sarah. Sarah, Snake Eyes, Lacy, and I got in the back of the truck letting Yu Lee and Hatcher in the cab. Yu Lee drove and Snake Eyes let me curl up to him. My hair isn't as wet as it was and this all annoyed me so much. Someone knew who we were and probably why we were there. More paperwork great.

JD: If you guys don't start posting reviews I'm cutting this story out some and only posting once every other week. I might have to soon because I'm looking for a job but I'm serious about this right now.
