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 4

Everyone stared at Tunnel Rat. There was complete silence.

Finally Duke was the one to break the silence. "She attacked you with a towel? Why?"

"I went into her room. The door was open and I saw that everything was a mess. As I came out she came up behind me and well…yeah." Tunnel Rat said.

Jane blushed slightly before looking at her food. Everything was gone from her plate, except the pudding. Her eyes widened as she looked at all of them. "Ok, what happened? Who stole my food?"

Everyone looked at Road Block who shook his head. "I got here the same time as everyone else; her food was missing by that point."

After a few moments everyone began eating. Jane glanced around at all of the faces. Flint and Road Block were wolfing down their food like there was no tomorrow. Lady Jaye and Scarlet were watching her closely. Road Block, Ripcord, Breaker, and Duke were talking amongst each other. Everyone was happy together, everyone belonged, except her. She then noticed Snake Eyes getting up, a Spork in his right hand. Then she figured it out. "Oi, Snake,"

Snake Eyes glanced over his shoulder at her.

"Think fast." She picked up the cup of pudding and threw it at him. He caught it and looked at her curiously. "Next time you want to steal my food, don't keep the spork in your hand."

Snake Eyes looked at his right hand. There the Spork was. He nodded his head and continued to go his way.

Lady Jaye watched as Jane left to go get more food. "She's interesting."

Scarlet looked at Lady Jaye then nodded her head. "She's changed a lot since I last saw her over two years ago."

That was when all the guys looked at her. "What exactly happened?" Tunnel Rat asked.

"We were on a mission," Scarlet began.

Scarlet and Snake Eyes walked on either side Jane. Everyone said that Cap was the leader because he was a full blown Colonel, but everyone followed Jane's orders, even though she was only a Major at the time. As the team neared their destination Jane put her hand up motioning to stop. Everyone froze. She pulled out her twin Desert Eagles and crouched behind a cabinet. They al suddenly heard footsteps and did the same as Jane.

She glanced back at Snake Eyes and Scarlet. They were older than she was, actually all of her team had been in the military much longer, yet she still seemed to be the leader. Even Cap listened to what she told him to do. She began to wonder why. What made her so special? There was no time to ponder these thoughts. People were coming closer and they needed to get out before they were discovered.

Their mission was to destroy the building, but she didn't know if that was a good idea to do at this point, now that insurgents were roaming around. Again she glanced at Snake Eyes who simply nodded his head. He knew what she was thinking, he always knew. But she never knew what he was thinking. She felt the weight of this decision land heavily on her shoulders.

Scarlet looked at the fear in Jane's eyes. It was odd; normally she was coolheaded in situations like these. But then she realized something. Jane wasn't worried about the situation. It was what the mission was about. They were sent to blow up the place, but the distance from which they had to place the explosion, the exit and the timer of the detonator were all wrong. It was a suicide mission.

Jane leaped up from her spot as the insurgent walked past her. She took off down the hallway. Glad that her guns were drawn. She shot a few more of the insurgents then made her way to the elevator. As the elevator closed a hand shot in and Pile-Driver got in with her. There were shouts of protest and Jane looked one last time at Snake Eyes and Scarlet.

Scarlet looked in horror at her two teammates. They were going to sacrifice themselves for the mission. Snake Eyes lunged for the elevator as it closed. He stared one last time into Jane's pale blue eyes. She looked at him fearfully. But she gave an order. "Don't follow, get out."

Duke sat in silence.

"That's why she's got a high rank."

"Had," Scarlet corrected. "Yeah, she was always sticking her neck out for her team. We all thought she and Pile-Driver were dead, turns out both were still very much a live."

They all jumped at the sound of someone snorting. "I'm sorry, but I have to admit Shana, you tend to make me look too much like a hero. I was just doing it to impress my uncle." Jane stated as she sat down in her normal spot. "He and I never could look each other in the eye. No pun intended."

Tunnel Rat chuckled a little at the joke.

Jane's smile softened. She picked up her fork and poked at her salad. "It's funny, you all respect General Abernathy, but I grew up hating him. Part of me still hates him. " my sister on the other hand, she worships him like a god. She added silently. She didn't want any of them to know about her sister.

The team looked at her like she was crazy.

"Try growing up with him as your legal guardian since you were seven years old." She stated. She put the food in her mouth and began chewing.

"General Abernathy is a good guy." Flint stated.

Jane swallowed her food. "I agree with you on that, but he doesn't know how to raise a kid. Especially one who was traumatized by watching her parents die in a lab explosion." Everyone fell silent. She felt the air around her tense. She had revealed a little too much of her personal life. "Can we please just finish our food and then get back to our jobs? I think no one wants to hear that story."

Everyone nodded their heads and ate in silence.

…

General Abernathy was sitting not to far from the Joe's when he heard Jane's words. Had he truly been that horrible towards her when she was growing up? Her sister didn't say anything either. If so why didn't they tell him instead of just being silent all the time?

He glanced towards her. She still looked like her mother. It pained him almost to think it. His younger brother had had a bad habit of dating people Clayton had previously dated. He even married Emily Rose. 'I'm sorry Jane, I'm so sorry.' He thought before getting to his feet and heading back to his office.

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.
