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 6

Jane sat still as Breaker debriefed all of the Joe's about the new missile sights. She felt her heart stop when they pulled up a photo. It looked like one she had taken when she went on a reconnaissance mission. "Excuse me, may I Breaker?"

Breaker looked at the woman known as Demon. He saw the confusion in her eyes. "Yes ma'am." They both were civilians after all.

Jane stood up and walked up to the screen and tapped near two people. "I took this photo nearly seven months ago. One month before joining the Joe's unit." She enhanced the section she had tapped. "This was not there last time. Nor was this," she tapped another section which showed a woman walking from an H.I.S.S tank. "From the reports I have read, Baroness was sucked into the Mass device. However, might I ask why is she crawling out of that Cobra tank?"

They all stared at her blankly. Breaker rubbed his neck. "I didn't notice that actually."

Jane tapped another sector on the screen, her eyes squinting trying to see what she might be missing. Her eyes narrowed more then widened as she suddenly noticed something. "Breaker, did you notice that?" She said pointing at the mountain.

"Notice what?" He walked up beside her then adjusted his glasses. "Oh my…is that really?"

"I think so…"

Everyone in the room was caught by suspense.

"What in Sam Hill are you two babbling about?" General Abernathy interrupted.

Jane and Breaker looked at each other with a grin then at everyone. "It's a hospital."

"And that's got you two bouncing for joy?" Tunnel Rat exclaimed.

Jane sat back in her chair and looked at each member at the table. "If they have a hospital we have a way onto that island. I missed it the first time I saw that picture, but thanks to Breaker I got a second glance."

Breaker blushed a little.

Jane heard the groan. She let out a huff then shrugged her shoulders.

"Do we have enough evidence to do a reconnaissance mission?" Abernathy requested to Breaker.

"That's for you and Washington to discuss." Breaker stated as he passed the data to the General.

…

Jane was running laps when someone clapped her on the shoulder. She pivoted her right leg and spun around with a high kick. By the time she realized it was Flint he had staggered back and was rubbing his jaw. She yanked her headphones out and tensed. Jane walked over to Flint, a hand covering her mouth in shock. She finally stammered out: "I'm so sorry!"

Flint rubbed his jaw and stared at the small woman. "It's totally fine, I snuck up on you while you were working out." He smiled then noticed that she was turning bright red.

"I…" she bit her lip and looked at the ground. "I guess I'm just a little up tight right now."

Flint tried not to laugh. "I wanted to say that you and Breaker really should work together more often."

Jane jerked her head back and tilted it to the right. "Ok, not the best way to hit on a girl." She laughed a little.

Flint's eyes widened and he rubbed the back of his neck. "No, I wasn't." He took a deep breath. "I was just suggesting it because you noticed something he didn't, and he noticed something you didn't. you two work great together."

"But I can't stand being cooped up all day in front of a computer." She argued as she turned off the IPod she had been listening to. "Besides, I was in the military for a little too long. It get's in your blood, that's what my dad used to tell me about my uncle."

"Abernathy doesn't talk about his family, only you."

Jane looked down at the ground. "Guess that means something doesn't it?" She barely whispered.

"Well, I would think so."

Jane clenched her jaw and remembered the harsh words her and her uncle had exchanged the other night.

Jane sat in front of her uncle's desk as he tried to think of words. She had never really cared to be around her uncle except when they were superior officer and subordinate, because then she knew where she stood. Beneath him, like always.

"Jane I wanted to talk to you about things that have happened in the past." He started off. Jane didn't move, she didn't want to speak.

"What about General?"

Abernathy took a deep breath and noticed that she was trying to avoid something. "Jane we didn't have the best of relationships. I was forced to raise you because I promised your mother." Something in her eyes said she snapped. But she was biting her tongue. "I promised her that if anything happened to them I would take care of you and Sarah."

"Don't," Jane whispered.

Abernathy hadn't heard her use that much venom in her voice since she was small. "Jane?"

"Don't bring my mother into this. Just because you hated my father doesn't mean you have to bring my mother into this conversation. This is about you and me, not her!" She spat.

"This has everything to do with your mother!"

Jane stood up so fast her chair was sent flying against the door. It clattered onto the ground. "I will not listen to you if all you talk about is my mother! I came here because you asked me to, said we had to talk."

"I apologize Jane, for things that have happened between us." Abernathy watched his niece with a gaze that reminded Jane of her father. "I still call you family, you know that right?"

Jane felt like laughing. "I joined the military because I wanted to impress you!" She shouted. "I joined the Joe's because you asked me to. Not because you were family, but because I thought that's what you wanted as my superior officer!"

"Then as your superior officer I am asking you to realize that you are not the only one hurting in this situation." Abernathy said calmly. He knew that if he didn't calm Jane down then some of the soldiers would come in at any moment.

Jane froze. He had never said anything about his emotions. "I'm sorry." She stated before going to the door. "Am I dismissed Sir?"

"Yes, you are." He watched her leave then leaned back in the chair.

Jane could hear him, what sounded like sobbing then she listened in a little more through the closed door.

"Why does she have to be as stubborn as you John but look like you Emily?"

Jane glanced at the ground again, ashamed that she had spoken so ill about her uncle. She even regretted some of the harsh words she had said to him that night, and all the nights prior. He was the only family she had. And to some extent, however stretched, the only father figure she really knew. "Hey Flint,"

Flint had watched Jane stare off into space then say his name. "Yeah Jane?"

"Thank you," She whispered before hugging him then running off.

Flint stood there stunned. Had she really just done that or was he just imagining it? He shrugged and started to follow her.
