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.

Chapter 14
Breaker, Duke, and Snake Eyes walked into the Airport. As soon as they walked in someone hurried them to a room in the back.
"I hope Jane realizes that when she gets back from her vacation she's going to be doing several laps around the track." Duke muttered, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"I think she and Flint realize that." Breaker said.
The Air Martial who had arrested Mr. Ling stood in front of the elderly man. "You three must be Lt. Col. Abernathy's men…she said that you had something to say to me."
Breaker thought for a moment. He had forgotten all about the code word. "Uh…she said that we were sent to help Mr. Ling get his daughter uh…Amethyst back from Cobra." Breaker stammered out.
The Martial nodded his head then let Duke help Mr. Ling to his feet. "All right, we've questioned him as far as Colonel Abernathy allowed us to. She said you had better interrogation methods than we had."
Breaker looked at Duke and Snake Eyes slightly worried.
Snake Eyes looked at the elderly man. so this was Jana's father. The girl had always been talking about her parents. Said they would do anything to save her when she was growing up. Seems that had happened even though she was a grown woman. Snake Eyes put a hand on Mr. Ling's shoulder.
Mr. Ling looked up at the black masked man. He remembered seeing the picture that Jane had been showing the Air Martial. "You're Snake Eyes; you were there on the mission Jane had died in…what happened to her? How is she still alive?"
Duke started to lead the man towards the car.
"I want to know how Jane is still alive and not captured by Cobra!" Mr. Ling shouted as they put him in the car.
"We don't know, only Jane knows…Jane and the General." Duke said. Snake Eyes grabbed the large package from the back of Duke's car then went for his motorcycle. "Hurry Snake Eyes, we leave at 0330 hours."
Jane walked into the hotel room with Flint. There were two beds in the room. She dropped her duffle bag near the twin bed closest to the window. She flopped onto the bed face first and curled up into a ball.
"Are you all right Jane?" Flint asked as he set his belongings down on the floor next to his bed. He sat down on his bed and faced her.
Jane mumbled into her pillow then waved her hand signifying she was fine.
"Just tired?" He asked.
Jane mumbled some more then fell silent. He should have known she was tired. She had been the one to drive to the hotel from the airport. She had gotten their luggage and she had been trying to get the men to ask the right question of Mr. Ling.
Jane felt too lazy to change into a night outfit, and she was too tired to bother pulling the covers over her. a gentle hand rested on her head as another hand slipped under her and pulled the covers out from under her and then covered her.
Flint could tell she had fallen asleep as soon as he had put the blanket over her. He had to admit it had been a long day. He lay on his bed and folded his arms behind his head. There was a knock on the door and Flint got up with a groan. He yanked open the door and stared at Snake Eyes. "What are you doing here?"
Snake Eyes held out the package the General had given him to give to Jane and Flint.
Flint took the package, looked at it and when he looked back up Snake Eyes was gone. "Ok,"
…
Jane woke up the next day and stretched before curling back in her spot on the bed. She hadn't moved at all that night. She heard water running and someone walking out. She rolled over and looked in the direction of the footsteps. Flint was standing there brushing his teeth.
Flint heard what sounded like a cat being strangled and he walked out of the bathroom to see Jane curling back on her bed. He took a couple of steps and she turned to look at him. He felt a laugh forming when he saw how her light brown hair was sticking up on the right side and flat on the left. "You might want to take a shower." He said after removing the toothbrush from his mouth.
"Uh?" Jane sat up and raised an arm to smell herself. "I don't smell bad." She said innocently. Probably still tired, Flint thought.
"Not your smell, your hair is having an argument." He pointed his toothbrush at her hair.
Jane got up and went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He was right; her hair was having an argument. She walked back to her side of the room, opened her duffle bag, pulled out some clothes for the day and started to go back to the bathroom.
Flint leaned over the bathroom sink and rinsed out his mouth. He looked up and saw Jane standing behind him through the mirror. She seemed to have paused in mid thought, her eyes were closed and she smelled the air. "Is something the matter?"
Jane shook her head. "Nope, I was just admiring the scent of your after-shave." She was being blunt again.
"You can be really strange sometimes Jane." Flint muttered.
"My sister's worse. She lives in her own little world of 'science proves everything'. She even says that the only reason she had a child was because, and I quote, 'it was the most logical thing, the goal of all living creatures is to reproduce offspring in their own image'." Jane chuckled. "Sometimes I think my sister's a little over the edge with her logic."
Flint raised his eyebrows. "Were your parents that bad?"
Jane's chuckling stopped and she looked at the ground. "I don't really remember, but the General says they weren't. He says Sarah acts like that to avoid the pain of loosing our parents."
Flint nodded his head. "I'll leave you alone then." He walked out of the bathroom.
Jane striped out of the clothes she had fallen asleep in and turned on the shower. She waited until the water was just the right temperature to cause the mirrors to fog up but not hot enough to scold her skin. She stepped in and let the water wash over her.
