DISCLAIMER: I don't know GI Joe, since that's the works of Hasbros. I only own Nixx/Chloe. My first Joe fic, so let me know when you're finished reading this chapter. Also, signing will be in Bold and writing will be in italics. ENJOY!

(Part 4: Paris, Daytime)

Once the team was in Paris, they went into full alert mode as far as last minute prepping went. Nixxhad her Delta-6 accelerator suit on and her guns fully loaded. She just was waiting for the 'go ahead' signal. Once they reached the lab, it turned out that the Baroness was already done. Snake and Nixx were the first to go after the SUV. They quickly got on the roof of the SUV and hung on.

The SUV was swerving left and right, having Snake Eyes swinging to the left too far and nearly losing grip. Within a few minutes, the SUV was causing accidents in order to get both Snake Eyes and Nixx off the roof. They barely hung onto the roof at the best of their ability. Once Breaker informed the team of the possible blowing up the Eiffel Tower, both Snake and Nixx went into work on stopping the SUV.

While Snake was on the side of the SUV, Nixx was still stuck on the roof. Both Scarlett and Nixx were able to save Snake once…but when Duke hit the SUV with a missile, Nixx nearly fell off.

"Thanks for the heads up…WATCH OUT!!!!" Nixx said as missiles were being fired.

When a pulse cannon was being deployed, Nixx nearly fell off the roof because of the pulse cannon being assembled. Then, out of nowhere, Duke was in front of the SUV and managed to get off without taking Nixx with him. Snake went to shoot out the tires but left in time for the incoming train…but Nixx held on before the SUV flipped over and she fell on her arm, spraining it as she came to a skidding halt. As she got to her feet, Nixx saw Storm Shadow arm a warhead to the launcher. She quickly went after both of them, but stayed with the Baroness as she hooked onto the bottom of the elevator.

Nixx flipped onto the elevator just as the Baroness left it. Nixx ran as fast as she could to catch up to Ana. She got halfway across the glass roof when she stopped to see the warhead hit the Eiffel Tower.

"No…" she gasped as she watched the tower fall.

Seeing the kill switch, Nixx reached Ana in time just as she fired; Nixx narrowly missing it. Ana made it to her transport just as Nixx did. Before she could do anything, Storm Shadow knocked her unconscious.

(Flashback to five years earlier)

"Welcome to GI Joe…we need to give you a codename, so if you have any ideas, feel free to share them," General Hawk said to a 23-year-old Chloe.

Chloe looked around the Pit in awe: she had never dreamed that she would get this far. She only heard about GI Joe from a family friend, who was a part of the team before he resigned and led a peaceful life with his wife and three kids. After losing her mom and Brett five years earlier, Chloe enlisted in the Army and made it to as far as a Lieutenant before she was offered to join the Joes. Hawk took special liberty to check over her files and saw that Chloe was good with technical support and got her to recruit based on that…along with her military background and other means of personnel files.

"Sir…maybe we can call her 'Codex'…she's good with computers, right?" Breaker suggested as he peeked his head from behind a monitor.

"Nah, why not--" Heavy Duty said.

Nixx. Her hair's dark as night, Snake Eyes signed.

"How about that? 'Nixx' good for you?" Hawk asked.

Thinking it over, Chloe nodded her head. From that day forth, she would be known as Nixx to the Joes, especially the Alpha team.

(Flashback to 20 years earlier)

"Storm Shadow," Sensei scorned at a young Storm Shadow after beating up on a young Snake Eyes.

"He's a thief!" Storm Shadow shouted in Japanese.

"English, Storm Shadow…where are your manners?" Sensei repeated just as Brett walked by, leading his twin sister.

"He's a cur! A weakling!"

"He doesn't look like one, Storm Shadow…" Brett said.

Yeah…it looks like he can hold on his own… Chloe added with sign language.

"He must let him in and show him the light…now, what can we call you…?" Sensei said to Snake Eyes.

Chloe walked up to Snake Eyes and looked carefully at him. She smiled as a name came to mind. She signed it quickly to Brett, who was watching what she was signing to him.

"She said 'Snake Eyes'…his eyes kind of reminds her of a snake's…plus he was able to defend himself against Storm Shadow, Sensei…" the older twin replied.

"So it's settled…welcome home, Snake Eyes," the sensei said after much consideration of the name choice.
