G. I. Joe: Renegades

Chapter 21

Jane's cloud nine shattered in that instant. Those words had turned her world from warmth and comfort and fire to cold, harsh and icy. She felt her heart beating faster again and her throat felt like it was closing. "But…" Her voice trailed off and she looked at the ground.

"Jane, we work on the same team." He let her go and turned for the door.

"Flint," she whispered while touching his shoulder. "Please, don't do this."

He didn't want to turn around. He knew what he would see, her in tears. He hated the idea of her in pain. "How serious was it between you and Henderson?"

Jane's heart stopped. She hadn't thought about that for a very long time. "Henderson and I, we…we kissed and that was all."

"Do you still love him?"

Jane took in a sharp breath. Why is he asking so many questions? She pondered. Maybe he's just curious? Not likely, there's a motive here. "I loved everyone on my team, but what happened between Henderson and I is in the past."

"That still doesn't—

"HE BETRAYED ME!" She screamed. She was ready to do anything to get that through to Flint. She spun him around and pinned his right shoulder against the wall. She might have been small but she did know how to fight still. She had taken Pile-Driver out in a fight so it shouldn't be hard to hold Flint still. "You don't know what it feels like when your teammate has betrayed you, your team and your country to the enemy! So don't think I still love him, because it's over with him."

Flint was startled at her. Even in the dimly lit room she looked frightening. Her brown-red eyes seemed redder, her short brown hair almost curled forwards like devil horns, and her face had paled out to look like it was covered in ashes. "Jane, I'm sorry."

Jane let him go and turned away. She needed to get better control of her anger. It was unusual for her to lose it like that. "Please, I want you to leave…"

"Jane,"

"I said go, I'll see you in the mess for dinner ok?" Her voice faltered, wavering between pain, anger, and sorrow.

Flint was stunned. She just told him to meet her for dinner, what was she playing at? Surely she was angry with him for asking so many questions. "All right, see you then." Flint walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Jane slumped to the floor and broke into sobbing. She hated feeling like this. She wasn't in control of her darker half anymore, and it was going to put people in danger. The last time she had lost control was before the mission that she should have died on. She had killed several of the terrorists, and almost killed members of her team until Amethyst had used the first four of the Seven Hidden Blades. "I'm so sorry." She whispered to no one.

…

Snake Eyes saw the door to Jane's room open once more, fearing that another person broke in, he inched closer. He turned the corner to see that everything was in its proper place. He walked inside to see a note sitting on the pillow of her bed. He picked it up and took off to find Flint and the others.

…

Flint sat with the team; he was worried about where Jane was but knew that she couldn't be in too much trouble. Suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder. Turning he expected to see Jane standing there with a tray in her hands, instead it was Snake Eyes with a note in his hand.

'Hey Flint, if you're reading this I went down to the pool to calm myself. I'm just not ready to face you at the moment.'

Flint was slightly confused. Scarlett took the letter from his hand and jumped to her feet. "What's wrong?"

"Jane went to the pool." Scarlett said as she started to take off.

"And that's a bad thing?" Ripcord retorted.

The General, having overheard part of it shot to his feet and took off.

"Jane doesn't know how to swim!" Scarlett shouted as she followed the general.
