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.

Chapter 9
Pile-Driver smirked at Jane. His blue eyes locked directly onto her red-brown ones. "You really thought that fall could kill me?"
Flint looked back at Jane to see her wrap her arms around her body and start shaking. She was afraid. Most of the time her emotions were anger, happy, or nervous. Never scared. He stood in front of her and put a hand on her shoulder. "You're going to be fine; I won't let him hurt you." Flint whispered.
Jane nodded her head.
Pile-Driver rolled his eyes. "Really, you're moving in on my woman? That's a little harsh don't you think?"
Flint didn't look at Pile-Driver, instead he was gauging Jane's expressions to see if he needed to turn around and try to strangle the man through the bars. She was trying to keep eye contact with Flint.
"What do you mean Sgt. Henderson, we all watched him fall to his death. From a third story window no less!" Tunnel Rat exclaimed over the intercoms.
"You fell to your death," Jane stammered as she finally looked at Pile-Driver. "So how are you still alive?"
Pile-Driver took the keys and opened the door to the cell. "Seems like you aren't the only one who gets a second chance at life."
"More like third," Flint muttered.
Pile-Driver glared at Flint. "Shut it lover boy."
Jane kept her focus on her former teammate but she could see Snake Eyes had taken down all of the guards save for Pile-Driver. "Jake, please, you don't have to work for Cobra. Remember what they did to your mother? How they fired her and left her with you to take care of? How they then pursued her because she knew too much. You told me that Cobra denied everything and that you, at fifteen, had no proof that they were guilty. Why do you work for them now?"
Pile-Driver stared at her. His eyes became unfocused then after a few seconds they refocused with a glare in his eyes. Suddenly his arm shot out. He was easily ten feet away from them and his hand was suddenly around Jane's throat again. "You wouldn't understand."
Jane's eyes widened then looked past him at Snake Eyes. Slowly she nodded her head and watched as he brought his sword up. She closed her eyes. "Jake, I'm so sorry. You see it wasn't just me and lover boy back there."
Pile-Driver looked at his former teammate. "What are you talking about?"
"We have the whole team standing by. And one team member right behind you." Flint answered.
Pile-Driver nodded his head while putting Jane back on her feet. "Yeah right, you're saying that so I don't hurt either of you."
"Not really. Snake Eyes now might be a good time."
Jane closed her eyes, not wanting to watch the carnage that was to ensue.
Snake Eyes sliced across Pile-Driver's arm. Pile-Driver let out a howl. Snake Eyes quickly knocked out Pile-Driver. He glanced at Jane with slight sympathy. He knew what it was that she was going through. She had trusted him and now that trust was gone. He had betrayed them all. But that story she had been saying, was it possible that Cobra was controlling him?
Jane gently pushed Flint out of the way and she looked at Snake Eyes. "All right Snake Eyes, did you find an easy way out of here?"
"Forget easy, let's just get out." Flint stated as he grabbed some of the guns off the guards. He threw two at Jane and she made sure they were fully loaded. He took two for himself and then he looked at Jane. She was leaning over Pile-Driver. "Let's go!"
Jane yanked a chain off Pile-Driver's neck and followed them. "All right, we're getting out of here…fast."
Snake Eyes nodded his head and took off in the same direction he had gotten into the dungeon from. He pointed up at a ventilation system. Jane's shoulders drooped and she scoffed at him slightly annoyed. "You got in through the vents?" She asked and he nodded. He then knelt down and held his hands so she could put her heel and he could give her a boost. She walked up to him and slipped her foot onto his hands and he pushed her up until she could reach the ledge. She crawled in then held her hand out to him. "Come on slow pokes, last one out of here is a dead Joe!" She joked.
Snake Eyes looked at Flint and pointed Jane's hand. Flint grabbed hold of the hand and let her pull him up. He assisted after he reached the ledge. He turned and held his hand out to Snake Eyes.
Baroness stared at the screen. "They had the ninja with them! Get them!"
The men all looked at each other then took off towards the dungeons. When they realized that no one was there except the incapacitated men, they looked around. Then they noticed the ventilation shaft was open.
"Oh boy, Baroness isn't going to be happy." One of them stated.
"Forget her, think about Cobra Commander." Another said.
Jane jumped out of the vents and looked at their surroundings. They had made it outside finally. "Thank God," she muttered as the other two jumped out behind her.
Snake Eyes tapped her shoulder and then pointed at the vents. 'WE have to get going, they know I'm here and that you two escaped.' He signed as fast as possible.
Jane nodded her head, grabbed Flint's wrist and took off as fast as she could. Flint stared at her surprised. What was wrong with her now?
Snake Eyes covered the rear as they ran back towards the landing sight. He looked around then tapped Jane on the shoulder.
Jane looked at Snake Eyes then nodded her head. "All right people, we need that pick up right about now!"
"On it," Ripcord stated.
"Little lady, you just sit tight." Wild Bill stated over the intercom.
Jane took the earpiece out and looked around. She could hear someone coming near. She held the guns up and waited. "Might want to hurry…we're being surrounded."
Flint looked at Jane then listened. She was right. He stood back to back to her. "After this you owe me a few drinks." He muttered to her.
She laughed a little. "You got that right Soldier. For now let's just try to get out of this one."
A/N: Oooo...will they live htrough this? I hope so! R&R please!
