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. Jake 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 13

Jane watched the man that walked by with some scrutiny. "Why is it always me?" She asked before looking at Flint. She glanced around then pointed at the Air Martial who sat not too far away from them. "I just hope he notices. I don't want to cause a scene."

As if on cue the Air Martial noticed the man and got to his feet. Jane held her breath in anticipation of what was coming next. The air martial followed the man and confronted him. The man, smaller than the Martial, pushed the Martial against the wall of the plane and brought out a gun. Jane tensed. How he had snuck it onto the plane, let alone on a carry-on? The gun was small, no bigger than the size of the man's hand. It probably had only a few bullets in it. Flint put a hand on Jane's shoulder and shook his head.

"We can't get involved." Flint whispered to her.

"If we don't everyone on this plane might die…" Jane countered before getting to her feet. By the time she had gotten up she noticed that the Martial was trying to stop the man. But it wasn't really helping. The man had managed to get away from the Martial and pointed a gun at him. Everyone in first class let out screams or gasps. Jane on the other hand walked over and gently put a hand on the man's shoulder. He turned and pointed the gun at her. She didn't flinch as she stared down the barrel of the gun. "Sir, why are you doing this? Don't you have a family or someone you care about?" Jane asked sweetly.

The Man stared at her. She suddenly recognized him. His long grey hair pulled back into a pony tail was tucked under a black long sleeve shirt. His kind eyes were trying to plead with her. "Mr. Ling? Jana's dad," She was confused but she tried to keep it to a minimum. "What's going on?"

Mr. Ling looked at the ground and put the gun down. "Jane, you're dead."

Jane shook her head. How could she explain that to him? "Never mind that, why are you doing this?"

"Cobra has my daughter; they've had her for nearly two years now." He broke down, tears falling from his face.

Jane froze. The computer had said she was deceased, was Cobra holding member's of her old team hostage so that they have some ready terrorists from their families? Then she remembered Roger didn't have any family left, at least as far as she knew. "All right, let me guess, they told you to do this so that they give you your daughter alive?"

Mr. Ling nodded his head.

The Martial watched the situation closely. "Who are you ma'am?"

"Lt. Col. Jane Abernathy," she answered while holding out her ID card. She still had her military badge, which surprised Flint.

Flint got up and pulled out his badge as well. "First Lt. Faireborn," Flint said while glancing at Jane. "Sir, what should we do?" He had to call her sir while she pretended to be her old self. It was probably the only thing she expected at that point.

"Take the man's gun Lieutenant." Jane ordered while touching Mr. Ling's shoulder. "Mr. Ling, I need you to tell me everything you know." She pulled out her earpiece, which she had placed in her pocket before leaving the base. She tapped it twice and muttered something.

As Mr. Ling recanted the story to Jane she made sure the com-link was open so that Breaker could hear it. He wasn't happy she had woken him up in the middle of the night but he was taking the message and was going to relay it to General Abernathy. Jane calmly had Mr. Ling sit in an open seat beside the Martial. Mr. Ling told them that about how the day before he had gotten a phone call from Cobra saying that they had his daughter, they even proved it with her voice screaming for her dad, and they told him to wait for further instructions if he wanted to see her alive again. Jane let out a huff and then sat in her seat.

"Then they called me four hours ago saying that they wanted me to board a plane, but at the gate someone would give me a case. I was to get into the cockpit with the weapon in the case and shoot both pilots." Mr. Ling whispered.

"You do realize that if you had done that you would have died too." Flint said, earning a slight glare from Jane.

"I just want my daughter safe."

Jane reached over and touched the elderly gentleman's arm, "I know. I will make sure that your daughter is alive and gets help. My team can do that."

Flint was about to counter what she said when he realized that she said 'my team' not 'my team and I'. He put his earpiece in and listened to the whole conversation.

The Martial looked at her impatiently. "Do I put him in handcuffs or do we let him go?"

Jane fell silent. She didn't know the answer to that one.

"Put him in handcuffs," Breaker responded. At first Jane thought it was because Breaker hated the man but then she heard him running. "I'll get some of the Joe's to get there and take him into custody."

"Put him in handcuffs, some of my team with rendezvous at the airport in a few hours." Jane got to her feet and pulled out her lap top and turned it on. "These are Breaker, Snake Eyes, and Duke…they'll be coming to get him." She showed the Martial the pictures of the people. Strangely enough she had had their files downloaded to her computer by Breaker. She had wanted to know her teammates strengths, weaknesses, and abilities but now the files came in handy for another purpose.

"Duke's not going to be happy." Breaker stated.

Flint tried to keep from laughing. He could imagine Duke waking up in the middle of the night, grumbling and complaining, getting to the Airport, getting Mr. Ling and then getting Ling to the Pit. Afterwards he imagined Duke getting on a plane and going to find Jane and trying to strangle her, only failing miserably.

"Also Breaker, the geeky looking one will say Amethyst. It's Jana's code name and that will be the code word to prove who they are."

"Geeky one!" Breaker screeched.

"Jane that's a bit harsh," Flint stated while trying not to laugh. Now Breaker was going to hunt her down and attempt to strangle her.

"It was better than I was thinking." Jane said with a shrug.

The Martial looked at the two military officers then rolled his eyes. "Are you two dating or something?" He asked sarcastically but at the same time not so sarcastic.

Jane took a deep breath and then shook her head. "Nope, couldn't. He's part of my team."

"Well you two fight like an old married couple." The Martial said under his breath before putting handcuffs on Mr. Ling. The old man looked down in shame.

"Mr. Ling, we'll figure this out. I promise."
