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.

The Demon Rose

G. I. Joe: Renegades

Chapter 2

Jane lay on her bed alone in her quarters. It had been almost six months since the incident at her apartment. Her uncle had put in a request to start a new unit called G I Joe's, he even had her as a part of that team. Not like she cared any more. She was no longer military. She was a civilian working with the military. A knock on her quarter's door made her jump slightly. Most people on the new base left her alone, except for the other members of her team. She got up from her bed and went to the door. As she opened it she noticed that no one was standing there, instead there was a small package with a dark red bow. A note was attached. It was written in Japanese but she managed to translate it as: 'To Demon, the only girl who always looks so sad.'

Jane blushed slightly before walking back into her room and closed the door. As she opened the package she noticed that it had been carefully wrapped in black paper. She opened the box and held her breath. Inside were a small dream catcher and some wind chimes. Tears threatened her eyes. Someone out their cared enough about her. She saw another note at the bottom but this time it was in English. 'Jane, we have been hearing you crying in your sleep. We all pitched in to buy these for you; hopefully they help with your nightmares. Scarlet, Duke, Ripcord, T. Rat and Roadblock.'

Snake Eyes had watched Jane take the box into her room. Ever since they had all moved onto the base together he had noticed Jane secluding herself from everyone. That was contradictory towards her normal behavior when he had last seen her. She was outgoing and always trying to make friends. As he went to walk to the door he noticed that she was walking out again. This time she seemed a little happier. He ducked back into the shadows to observe her.

Jane knew someone was watching, actually she knew who it was but she didn't bother to let them know she knew. She wanted to stretch her legs before going to practice. She could instinctually tell that the person watching her was now following her. She inwardly grinned before ducking down and swinging her leg out to trip the person. As she did so Snake Eyes jumped above her leg and noticed she was getting up with a large Cheshire cat grin on her face.

"I already knew you were watching me, but following me Snake Eyes, really?" She said in a mock hurt tone. "I thought you didn't spy on your own." Suddenly her mocking tone vanished and the blank staring ensued.

Snake Eyes was used to her staring off into space but not like this. But now it seemed like every time she said something like 'spying' or 'betraying' she would begin staring. He gently put a hand on her shoulder and she snapped back to reality. Her mood changed almost instantly when he touched her shoulder.

"Sorry, I must have stared off." She smiled and rubbed the back of her head. "I'm heading to the training room, you want to come with?"

She turned and started for the training room.

…

Scarlet and Duke walked into the training room to see Jane pinning Snake Eyes to the wall. She was smiling and she calmly let him go.

"I've never seen anyone take Snake Eyes down like that." Scarlet whispered.

Jane noticed they were being watched and she looked back at Scarlet and Duke. "Hey," She said as she waved her hand. "Thank you guys for the present." She stated before backing away from Snake Eyes.

"Not a problem." Scarlet stated. "Actually it was Snake Eyes who bought the dream catcher, we got the wind chimes."

Snake Eyes watched as Jane blushed before grabbing a towel from the rack next to the weights. She rubbed the back of her neck and then her face. His eyes followed her as she left the training room and took a left down the hall.

Jane went towards her quarters and noticed someone walking out of it. She tilted her head sideways then charged after them. She managed to sneak up on them and wrap the towel she had in her head around their neck. "What were you doing in my room?" She asked as she brought the person closer to her. The stench told her it was Tunnel Rat.

"I was trying to see if you wanted to come and have dinner with us all. But when I walked into your room I noticed you weren't there and it was a mess."

Jane let go of her teammate and felt her heart racing. If her room was a mess that meant someone had gotten in there while she and Snake Eyes were sparing. She shoved Tunnel Rat aside and went into her room. She looked at the mess. Her paperwork was scattered on the floor. Her books were strung across her bed and her clothing was piled in a corner near the bed. "Oh boy." She whispered before turning on a light. Someone had been looking for something, something in her room. But who, and why?

"Jane, what's wrong?" Tunnel Rat asked as he walked in and stood beside her.

"Someone was looking for something." She stated while pulling out her cell phone. "I want to know who, why and how they did this without anyone noticing!" She growled.

…

General Abernathy stood next to his niece as her room was examined. He didn't know what was going on but something was spooking Jane. "Jane, maybe you should take some time off." He offered. She had been stressed out. First she was betrayed and attacked by her former teammate Henderson, then she resigned from being in the military then she was recruited by Abernathy to be a part of G.I Joe's and now she was training non stop.

"I'm fine sir," She stated as she glared at her room. Something wasn't right. Everything was there, even the presents that the Joe's had given her. "Really I am. It's just unnerving. First Henderson isn't dead, second he betrayed us, third I killed him six months ago and now my room is a mess. It's kind of odd."

General Abernathy had to hand it to his niece, she was always able to put pieces together that just never seemed to fit. "I'll have this investigated Jane."

"Actually sir, I was wondering if I could have permission to assist in the investigation." Abernathy stared at his niece quizzically. "I haven't done anything in months since joining the Joe's sir. This would put my skills to some use."

"I thought your skills were intelligence recon, con art, and corporate espionage." He stated with a slight grin.

Jane didn't find what he said funny. Instead she shrugged her shoulders, giving her uncle a scowl. "I also know how to investigate, that is part of the intelligence recon." She twitched as one of the investigators held up one of the wind chimes.

"I didn't know you had any of those with you." Abernathy stated.

"I didn't bring any; the Joe's bought them for me." Jane stated before noticing one thing in her room was out of place. "Excuse me, but could I—" She motioned at one of the purple latex gloves the investigators were using.

"sure thing ma'am." The man handed her a pair of gloves and she walked across the room to the object attached to her dream catcher. There was a note attached to the back. She slowly took the catcher off the wall and took off the note.

"How on Sam hill did I miss that?" Jane whispered harshly towards herself. "General, I don't think we should be looking for something missing…looks like something was put in here."

Abernathy looked at his niece and noticed the worried expression.

"Get this to Snake Eyes; I don't know if it's meant for me or him." She took the gloves off and wrapped the note in them. "Also tell him to be careful…something isn't right here."

Lady Jaye had only known Jane for six months, but something about the woman said she wasn't afraid of anything. However, the way that Jane was acting now was clearly stating she was afraid. Lady Jaye took the note and walked off to the training room to see Scarlet, Snake Eyes, Duke, Road Block and Ripcord talking. "Snake Eyes, Jane wanted you to read this, said to be careful and that something isn't right."

Snake Eyes had never thought Jane to be the cryptic kind of person. He had noticed that sometimes her statement had a double meaning. He unrolled the gloves and then the note. On one side read: 'You serve no one' and on the back was the Arashikage symbol.

A/N: R and R, but no flames! Also i have the first eighteen chapters of this written so i can't really rewrite it how people like. This is my first G. I. Joe fanfiction; so if you don't like, don't read. That has always been what i do so you should do it too.
