Chapter 3 : White & White
Carlton Industries were located in New York, New Jersey. Somewhere Lynx Eyes had already gone to help a rich weapons designer to get rid of some goddamn, mad terrorists who aimed to end his life in the worst painful way he could imagine. She had disguised herself as his secret « girlfriend » since the Australian man had told the news that he was currently dating some beautiful woman coming from Asia. She could remember their previous love-making as she and Snake Eyes traveled further into the corridors of the Pit, making their way to the cells with the others ahead of them. It had been good sensations but again, they certainly as hell didn't match those Storm Shadow had thrown at her.
When she woke up in the plane after her sleep, she told her fellow ninja what he needed to know – she hid the fact that Storm Shadow was alive and had sex with her, he would have hunt down his brother until he gets his hands on him. Lynx Eyes didn't like lying to Snake, but it was worth it ; he couldn't be bothered on a mission because of his supposedly fallen brother he had recently « killed », which would have been bad if she had told him. In other words, she will keep him safe and healthy without knowing that Storm Shadow had discovered something very terrible about their master. She imperceptively bit her lower lip in wonder as she thought about it. No doubt Snake Eyes would be mad at her for keeping that secret about the Japanese ninja and their engagement. That was still weird coming from Storm Shadow ; among all the Joe, he chose to come to her in the first place with that damn obvious reason « Besides that red-haired fiend, the two buffoons, the hacker and the British man, you are the only one closer to him. ». How unnerving.
Getting her nodachi from its usual place on her back, Lynx Eyes expertly flung it so it was resting on her shoulder, earning her a whistle from Ripcord who was watching her.
'' Isn't that too heavy for you ? '' he asked, rather curious.
The Chinese assassin merely looked at him. '' For a woman, you meant ? '' she corrected softly. Then, she handed him her large sword. '' Here, hold it a moment. ''
'' Heh, you're talking to Mr Muscles here, no need to- wow, what the hell ? Ripcord screamed in shock as he stumbled with the big sword in both hands. Seeing this, Scarlett and Heavy Duty laughed out loud at their comrade struggling to keep balance so he wouldn't drop on the floor. '' How can you carry such a weapon like this ? It's goddamn heavy ! ''
'' Do not drop it on the floor or I shall make you hold it until tomorrow, '' Lynx Eyes warned as she stood before the funny man, unfazed. '' I am really attached to Jìnghuà dāopiàn, it is my most treasured gift. I would be damned if I were to lose it because of you. ''
'' Huh...then why don't you... take it back ? '' Ripcord breathed out shakily. Once the Chinese ninja gladly took her weapon back, he let out a long, damn relieved breath. '' Wow. Now that's one helluva of a sword...damn ! ''
Lynx Eyes ignored it as she continued her way with Snake, a twitch upon the corners of her pink, adorable lips.
On their way to see the Baroness, she remembered all the times that woman, always clad in a black leather suit, had tried countless times to catch her. Paired up with Storm Shadow, she must have felt very powerful – if « invincible » wasn't a sufficient word to express the supreme amount of self-esteem she felt towards herself, then nothing would be able to describe her. Baroness, also known as Ana de Cobray, was a cunning, bitchy woman who thought she could handle Lynx Eyes by herself. How it must have been fucking humiliating to her when she returned to her « beloved » McCullen without any deadly ninja, but only with deep wounds that needed to be immediately treated. Storm Shadow must have laughed at her own cockiness – if it was possible for him to laugh – and would have continued if he hadn't encountered the lynx on his missions to capture her. Nonetheless, Ana de Cobray was just someone who craved for care and love, two emotions she lost with her old-self when she was injected with those dreaded nano-mites.
Wayne Yen had always been a forgiving person. It was in her nature, even if she was a cold-blooded assassin that was always given dangerous missions that would certainly end up being killed in horrible ways. The Yen family worshipped its beloved god, Buddha, for giving its members the notions of forgiving, living forward and looking for the future. Her little brother tough, Sun, still had troubles forgiving people who called him a freak because he was a genius at an ancient martial art known as « Ba Gua ». Ever since Wayne taught him that style, he was up using it to punish those who dared to beat him up. Only to give them a piece of his mind.
'' Hey... ''
She slightly turned to face Duke, who was staring defiantly at her.
'' How come you know of Ana ? '' he asked.
'' How come you never knew she had tried many times to capture me with Storm Shadow ? '' Lynx Eyes retorted. Besides her, Snake Eyes imperceptively flinched at the mention of his brother but he quickly shrugged it off. '' Your old girlfriend had orders to bring me to Cobra HQ so their mad doctor – now known as « Commander » and a vile scientist – could inject his nano-mites in my body. If I had not been a ninja since my youth, I would have been your enemy. And I am sure as hell you do not want to battle me. ''
That seemed to startle Duke.
'' She tried to capture you ? And Rex wanted to... oh, boy. How long have you been here ? '' he muttered to himself, disbelieved.
Wayne didn't reply as she watched Heavy Duty typing a code to open the highly secured doors. With a biping sound, they opened in a hiss. The guards standing there guarding the doors made of steel nodded at the Joe, who nodded back in acknowledgement and resumed walking. Duke, who was used to visit Baroness, took the lead and made his way to her, followed by his team. The clicking sound of boots on the floor was like Scarlett, Heavy Duty, Breaker, Ripcord and Duke were the only ones there since Snake Eyes and Lynx Eyes usually didn't make any noise. Not even the slightest ; the Chinese assassin, along with her usual diving suit, was bare-foot. It didn't bother at all since she loved walking bare-foot everywhere she goes. Figures.
Soon, the sight of Baroness came to them. To Lynx Eyes it was a new sight ; what, no black leather suit ? No glasses ? No bitchy, cocky attitude ? That was freaking new : she was wearing the cell captive's grey blouse of G.I Joe prisoners and her black hair were tied up in a messy bun. She looked up from her spot and immediately turned towards the Joe. Her deep blue eyes shifted uncertainly to every soldier, rested upon Lynx Eyes's form for two long minutes before turning to Duke. Then, a little smile crept its way on her full lips.
'' Duke, it's been a long time, '' she said in a low voice. '' What are you doing here ? ''
Lynx Eyes saw it. A flickle of fear struck Ana de Cobray when they met eye-contact ; so the Baroness still remembered her even if it's been months since their last encounter. The Chinese beauty blinked as she watched Duke pulling the black-haired vixen into a tight hug.
'' We need informations about a group of damn terrorists known as « Jigsaw », '' the newbie told his lover. '' Lynx Eyes here said that you might have encountered them while you – he swallowed hard enough to get the attention from mouses – still worked for Cobra. So... do you know them ? ''
'' If I know those motherfuckers ? Trust me Duke, even if Storm Shadow and I were a pretty good team together, these guys really don't like being bothered while they are working. Especially if they are bothered by ninjas. ''
Was that a taunting ? Lynx Eyes took it as a « yes ».
'' Then, give them all the information my comrades seek. I will be on my way, '' the Chinese assassin countered before quickly walking away, Snake Eyes on her heels.

Departing earlier and preparing the field would allow Wayne to make sure that a goddamn white clad ninja kept his word and knew that she was currently heading to N.Y.C ; thinking of him made her thoughts confused, but she couldn't afford to let Storm Shadow haunt her brain. She needed it to concentrate on her target, which was sneaking into Carlton Industries, getting rid of the peasants that could eventually be there to make concurrence and stealing the microchips. Wayne couldn't tell that it would be easy for her if Storm Shadow hadn't lied. No, it would be fucking hard with a sexy ninja like him taunting her. They had sex, more like three or four times that night and the great Buddha himself should know that it will happen again in the future (A not so far away future, though). Praying Buddha to help her in her path seemed like asking the Devil to reunite with the Heavens : the path of peace that her « lover » seeks was another path of pain he should endure, but not alone.
Not alone. Storm Shadow, by having sex with her that night, forced her to sign a pact with him. She will have to vouch for him if there was any clash between him and the Joe, if they ever found out that the white ninja was alive. He may have left Cobra, he was still the enemy. Nonetheless, Wayne knew she would never let any friend, comrade, not even Snake Eyes, hurt him while his seeking for forgiveness ; as an over-protective big sister, she never let anyone touch Sun without a warning. Hell, she would even slaughter any scum that would dare to lay a finger upon his adorable face. So, to conclude, she was ready to face all the scowls, all the glares, all the betrayed looks of her friends. And she would face their justice.
A little sound drew her from her reverie and she pulled out her phone. Seeing that it wasn't the one G.I Joe gave her, she pulled out the other.
Troubled, my dear ? Do not fret, we will soon be reunited.
No signature, but he was way too recognisable. How he obtained her phone number was mind-blowing but what the heck, Wayne would know him soon enough. Even if she had to have sex with him again. Frowning her delicate eyebrows, she quickly typed her answer.
Your message sounds...strange. In fact, it is too romantical since we are not romantically involved. Where are you ?
Storm Shadow was quick to respond.
New York, Chrysler Building. The view is quite the show. To respond to your teasing, we might not be romantically involved but since that wonderful night – I hold no regrets, whatsoever – things could change. Radically. Since you mentally vowed to help me through my path of forgiveness, we have to get through obstacles together. I mean it, Lynx Eyes.
And I will never, ever doubt your words. I knew what I will have to get through if I were to sign a pact with you : hellish adventures, which could lead us to certain death for high betrayal for me, life-prison for you. I do not even know why I chose to help you, in fact. It is still obscur, unknown and kind of frustrating. We will have to work on you under the noses of your brother and the Joe. They tend to be very protective of their comrades. Especially Snake Eyes.
As she wrote the codename of her closest friend, Wayne fought back a lump in her throat. The answer of Storm Shadow didn't let having regrets about what was coming for them.
There will be no turning back. I will not let you betray me and if you do, I will hunt you down. Every inch of this planet will be removed from my wrath. I will find you everywhere, Lynx Eyes. You cannot hide from me, not anymore.
And Buddha himself knew that man was right. Now Wayne could use a little fear to be wary around Storm Shadow. He could be scary when he specifically wanted to be. Despite her being a cold-blooded assassin, a chill ran down her spine and she swallowed her lump.
« Yo, Lynx. Do you copy ? »
Wayne jumped a little at the voice, her heart bumping against her chest. She sure as hell wasn't known for cursing out loud, but she mentally did before putting a long finger to her device in her ear.
'' What do you have, Heavy Duty ? '' she asked.
Her voice was a little shaky. She hoped he didn't hear that through that damn device.
« You were right about the Baroness's knowledge about those motherfuckers like she said : they are a low-class terrorists group, but they made themselves known by killing eighty people in Russia thirteen years ago. Moscow got almost destroyed. »
'' Did something in Russia interested them so much that they had to make a disaster upon the Russian people's home ? '' Wayne wondered aloud. '' It is so pointless to make a terrorist world-wide known. I should be shocked. ''
Some chuckles. « The FBI and other forces went to bust them but as it was predicted, they disappeared and didn't reappeared since then. Until now. So once you arrive in New York, make sure to sneak in Carlton Industries HQ without being caught, find that damn microchips and get the hell out of here once you've collected it. Got it, Chinese lynx ? »
'' I would roger that, '' she told her comrade before cutting the conversation. Then, she got up from her seat and swiftly went to her driver's cabin. '' How long before we reach New York ? ''
'' About twenty minutes, ma'am, '' he quickly answered.
'' Make it fifteen. I fear that someone very important is waiting for me.
She didn't wait for him to reply and directly went back to sit. Wayne sat cross-legged, straightened her back so it was rigid and closed her eyes in a full breath. Jìnghuà dāopiàn rested on her long, bare legs, cleaned and sharpened. The large sword was created in Tokyo, Japan, when Wayne finally mastered the « Ba Gua » and was told to be taught a long lost style known as « Hiten Mitsurugi ». It was an advice from her master ; she was so gifted in both martial arts and swordfighting that she should carry a sword singing her talent. The nodachi may be a huge sword, but it came in handy as she only used it to surprise her enemies. Blocking the bullets with lightning speed, cutting their throats before they could scream their horror and slicing them with the swing of the blade made by an expert ? Sweet. The Chinese assassin just loved her sword.
Minutes went by and Wayne found herself making her way down the plane just after the landing. The clouded sky of New York welcomed her with a loud thunderbolt and she inwardly cringed at the sound, letting a slight leer appear on her stunning features. Her precious senses were sharper than any human due to the rough training she had back when she was a mere child. Lightly scowling at the coming storm, she used the door leading to go downstairs. When she was sure that no one was suspicious enough to go up and see what was going on, the assassin deigned to answer to her damn phone, which was buzzing for less than twenty minutes.
'' Trying to cope with my surroundings, '' she muttered harshly. '' Why are you being so stubborn ? ''
« You were ignoring me. »
'' On purpose, '' she added as she swiflty descended stairs. She slowly opened the door of the third floor she reached and closed behind her. Her sharp eyes shifted over the large office, apparently empty – which was odd – but filled with freaking giant teddy bears and other stuffed animals lounging the walls as she passed them with a slight bemused expression on her face. '' Can you track my phone ? ''
« Already done. I am on my way. Are you alone for the moment ? »
'' The others will come as back up. So yes, I am currently on my own. '' her brown eyes wandered around the creepy stuffed animals. '' And with some giant stuffed animals. There must have been a sort of party over here. ''
« Stuffed animals ? I never understood the utility of those...wait, you are distracting me. Give me at least ten minutes to reach your position. »
Wayne actually smiled. She smiled. The Chinese woman rarely smiled, only to her most trusted friends. When she wanted to. Snake Eyes and Scarlett were, somehow, the ones she truly cherished. Not because of her closeness to both of them, but because they had been able to help her restore her honor. Storm Shadow made her smile because...because she found him...funny. Which she immediately found strange judging by the weird look upon her face. She brushed off that thought and focused on her task.
Carlton Industries HQ were located at Upper East Side and that building where she had landed wasn't, so that meant she had to move through the New York citizens. Then, she had to change clothes because wearing a diving suit by this dreaded weather would be quite...paranormal. As New York is known to be the very place where strange things always occurred, Wayne wouldn't be surprised if that building in which she entered was booby-trapped or full of deadly lizard freaks like in the Godzilla movie Ripcord watched with Scarlett. Weird.
Damn weird. The super genius was hanging out with the funny guy !
After insuring that no one was on that floor – except for the white ninja who was closing in her way – she made it for the restrooms where she could change. The Chinese assassin put her big sword against the wall, then went into a cabin and began to strip off her diving suit. How goddamn awkward was it to change clothes for a deadly skilled assassin from G.I. Joe in a office (in the restrooms of the office would rather satisfy everyone's sane mind.) ? Peachy. Wayne wore black panties then ruffled in her bag before stopping. Completely.
Why the hell, in her own words, did she chose to wear white clothes ? White shirt, white jacket, white jeans and white shoes – as if Converse were her style of shoes. All of it reminded her of a white clad ninja with whom she was involved. Sexually involved. She inwardly cringed as she grudgingly put her clothes on. Storm Shadow was the only one who should wear white. Wearing white like him could mean...something.
Something she didn't like.
Something she fucking hated.
Something he would like.
The door of the restrooms creaked open. '' Last time you put clothes on, you made it in less than ten minutes and you were gorgous. What is taking you so long ? ''
Speak of the devil...
He sounded annoyed. Damn, hilariously, annoyed. Soflty rolling her eyes, she stepped out of her cabin and went to retrieve her sword. Which she didn't find on its respective place but rather on the hands of her « lover ». Her « lover » who was staring at her silently, the nodachi placed upon his left shoulder. His eyes roamed over her slender body. Again and again. Up and down. Again and again. Up and down. Then he placed the nodachi against a wall, made his way towards her quickly. Wayne had yet to register his clouded eyes before she was pinned against the cool wall, and felt lips upon hers. The kiss was harsh, ferocious, just like they were now used to. The heat of Storm Shadow's body was warming her up and she couldn't help but moan at the fucking sensation as she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back with the same passion.
They had seen each other hours ago. It was late in the afternoon. But it seemed like eternity. Storm Shadow had escaped horny Italian chicks and Lynx Eyes had learnt she was going to have one hell of a ride with him. Good.
Thrilling. Scarlett would have already cried.
The sexy ninja was the first to talk. '' Now that is something I want to see on you. All white. Good choice, my dear, '' he chuckled between kisses.
Wayne frowned and pulled back, breathless and her lips swollen. '' This is not funny. I am on a mission, now will you move ? ''
He pinned her a little harder, his body covering hers. His eyes held a growing desire within them, which wasn't faltering any further when Wayne glared at him. They even smiled mockingly at her furious ones.
'' Tell me something, Yen, '' Storm Shadow said smoothly, leaning in. '' A stunning, attractive woman wearing my favorite colour is in reality a deadly, cold-blooded assassin who wouldn't hesitate to murder some call-girls if they lay a finger on her cherished little brother. But that assassin is also « dating », if we can call it a date, another assassin who is currently trying to redeem himself to his dear brother. And the stunning woman ignores her lover to accomplish a mission for her superiors. ''
'' Is there any problem in accomplishing missions instead of seeing her « lover » ? '' the Chinese ninja asked sarcastically, bringing a leg to kick him in the guts.
The handsome Japanese ninja evaded it gracefully and grabbed her long leg, wrapping it around his hip. He smiled down at her.
'' There is one : her lover is also a ninja. Just as deadly as she is. He can help her in her mission and protect her. They have a pact, they have to respect it until it's actually done. True, she can protect herself but if her lover is ready to bear all the obstacles she will face with her, they can become invincible. Do you understand me, Wayne ? ''
He had whispered those last words upon her lips, biting into the flesh. Staring right into her eyes. She had stopped struggling in his grasp long ago when the words started sinking in.
Indeed, she understood him. If they joined forces, they could cover more ground and work as a team. Two ninjas would get a job done in less than one hour if there was no complication. If they joined forces, the Joe wouldn't have to come as back up. But then, they would arrest Storm Shadow (after freaking out because he was goddamn alive and supposed to be dead!), put him into a trial and send him into prison for life. Lynx Eyes wasn't ready to betray her allies and friends, it was pointless and utterly out of character. It would mean being hunted down to no end. Nonetheless, she understood what he meant. And she nodded to make it clear. Crystal clear.
He smiled and kissed her again. Hard, but with a surprising gentleness behind this hardness. He even added smooth pressure on her rear with his fingers.
Damn ninja.
'' Let us go. We have a microchips to retrieve. ''
And he even knew what was the target of this...
Goddamn this white ninja.
« … »
They reached Carlton Industries within forty-five minutes with the car Storm Shadow had rented when he arrived in New York. Sounds like the ninja still had money, because renting a Porsche Carrera GT wasn't given, especially to the call-girl of the Bronx. A white one, of course. Somehow, Wayne had felt peaceful ; it had been so calm between them. Around them. No hard metal, no AC/DC to ruin her ears (Heavy Duty could be really, fucking annoying sometimes.) and no Ripcord to joke about women's strenght and intelligence – just because he was hanging out with the super-genius red-haired freak certainly didn't mean he was allowed to despise other women's intelligence. Storm Shadow seemed a man worshipping silence, so was she. While he was driving, Wayne had had the delicious chance to observe him – though he actually liked it when she looked at him and only him.
She had found it really hard not to jump on him. As if he wanted her to. Judging by the smirk on his lips, the sexy ninja thought she was going to do it. And he wouldn't have minded it at all. Banging the sexiest assassin of G.I Joe was pure mirth, but banging her in a fucking car like that Porsche would have been heaven. So no, Wayne hadn't jumped on Storm Shadow.
But she knew it would have been hard to resist at the temptation he had offered.
The gorgous Chinese woman looked at her silver watch. 7:00 pm. The others must have caught up by now and must be waiting at a luxurious hotel of New York. Good, she wouldn't have to explain the presence of the white ninja besides her and face Scarlett's wrath. Taking a full deep breath, Wayne took in their surroundings. Both of them were in the hall of Carlton Industries HQ, two bright-looking people in the center of black or grey-working employees of the facility. Well, there was an exhibit and the assassins had taken care to bring their invitations – after removing the two Yakuza from whom they stole the invitations from the Earth – and were currently looking at the weapons that were shown to them. Had it been Tony Stark who designed them, there would have been more Yakuza coming at the exhibit. More excited people, more horny chicks staring at the most beautiful males of the party – like Storm Shadow – and more business men looking at Wayne's rack... if they weren't already doing it, there was a problem.
Clicking the heels of her white Converse on the floor of steel, the assassin moved to a hot-dog stand, where the owner – a young man in his early twenties with blue eyes and pitch-black hair hanging all over his head – smiled rather widely at her.
'' Hello, shall I take your order, mademoiselle ? '' he asked with a smooth tone.
What the...huh.
Nope. Not with her.
'' Hot-dog, please, '' she said, handing the money.
'' And which sauce do you want ? Ketchup or mustard... huh, with that, can I... ''
'' Ketchup, without your number. Or mine. Thank you. ''
Oh, sweet deception. She bet that if Storm Shadow had been here with her, he would have laughed at the scene. Maybe thrown a few shuriken at him to make that hard-headed understand that the astonishing Chinese vixen was someone else's.
With a thin smile, Wayne took her hot-dog and wandered off. Biting in it, she stared at the little group of business men chatting together. Instead of looking at all the faces, she focused on the more important man of all the group ; brown hair, perfect shaved face and sombre eyes that glinted with malice as he talked restlessly to his coworkers. He was wearing a very-looking expensive suit, all made of black, without a tie and the first buttons of his blouse open to a well-built chest.
Theodore Carlton. Heir to the Carlton business. Known as one of Stark International potential enemies.
And a scaring womanizer. The Brazilian woman making her way to him, followed by a Black one and an Irish one, scooped her long arms around his neck, giggling like a school-girl. Carlton seemed pleased by that lovely attention and laughed with her before planting a kiss upon her cheek.
Arching an eyebrow, Wayne spoke.
'' I found our target, guys, '' she said, then paused to take a bite. She swallowed it quickly. '' He has not presented his new project yet, but it will not be long. Right now, he is surrended by some women licking his face and disgusted coworkers. Funny that way. ''
She heard someone bursting out laughing and other laughs. It lasted for a while and Wayne found it hard not to smile.
« Now that's something we don't see everyday since Ripcord and Scarlett are quite discret about their activities. Huh ! You killed me, Lynx ! »
« Guys, I think...I think we have to... stay focused on the task ahead... »
« Then, why the hell are you laughing like a madman ?! »
'' If you guys are not keen on keeping it quiet, I would have to move without you. This place is...crowded. I will take the microchips at night, when all the security system is on. ''
The laughter continued. Oh well.
Wayne rolled her eyes and turned around. To almost bump into Theodore Carlton in the flesh. The womanizer smiled brightly at her lightly startled expression.
Now what the...
'' Well, hello ! '' he said, a bit cheerfully. He pulled a face. '' Huh, sorry for that, that was me and my mirth. I'm overjoyed to show the world my newest creation and get Stark down to the tube. Would you care to join me ? I would like to show you around, a gorgous babe like you shouldn't be alone without a man of power at her sides. ''
What the... ?
« What the...doesn't he have better to flirt with a woman like Lynx ? Even Stark would do... whatever, just accept it. »
Storm Shadow would have burst out laughing, just before killing the man. But now, the ninja was off somewhere, waiting for the mission that will occur later. Wayne hummed. For a minute. Then smiled.
'' Why not ? It's not like I have to go somewhere, '' she sighed as she let Carlton lead her through the crowd.
In fact, she had to go somewhere. And fast.
Because she felt like protecting Theodore Carlton from the murderous look of a white clad ninja.
Asian term :
Jìnghuà dāopiàn : Purifying Blade.
Yeah, I really like Chinese and Japanese.
