Synapse: Amethyst had been captured by Cobra nearly one year ago and now she was finding herself imprisoned by another. This man is using her, keeping her hidden, and now he expects more from her. Now she wants out.

G. I. Joe

The Amethyst Stone

Chapter 9

"You actually think that's going to work?" Storm Shadow questioned. He had never actually seen hypnotism work on anyone.

Helping set Henderson against the wall; Amethyst responded saying: "I've seen my father do it…and I have done it to my team."

Amethyst sat across from her unconscious former teammate. Clearing her mind Amethyst tried to remember the words that she had programmed for her teammates. Henderson's were the hardest to remember. They had been completely based on rhythm and relaxation.

"Come on Pile-Driver, what if we get into a situation where we need to control a teammate because of brainwashing, or worse the person went totally ballistic?" Jana said while chasing Henderson around. The man was bigger than her in weight, height and build, yet she was determined enough that she might tackle him to the ground.

"No way Scary Chinese woman!" Henderson stated while grabbing a chair and putting it between him and her. "I saw what you did to Jane, and there is no way you're going to get me to do some crazy shit like my girlfriend!"

"I didn't know you two were together."

"Well…wait don't get me off topic!"

Jana giggled then focused her qi into her left hand. "If you don't just sit down in front of the metronome I might have to use my technique on you."

"You wouldn't…" He stopped running and watched as her left hand raised a little. "You would…Jana, please, you know I hate that voodoo stuff!"

"Too bad…sit."

"A metronome…I need a metronome." She murmured.

"Why?"

"It'll help…trust me."

Storm Shadow huffed as he got to his feet and walked away.

Amethyst tilted her head from side to side slowly. Her eyes were wide but had a warning look to them, like a snake about to strike.

Henderson had his eyes open just barely to see Amethyst moving her head and her eyes wide. He knew she was thinking about something, or trying to clear his mind. "Don't bother doing that hypnosis shit you have."

"Oh, but you need ot forget things, then I need to put false memories in your little pea brain." Amethyst touched his face caringly. "I wish you hadn't joined Cobra."

His eyes snapped open. "How did you know?"

"It's not that hard to deduce, that's the only reason why you would attack me." Amethyst felt a tear roll down her face. "If only things hadn't turned the way they did right?"

"If only," He agreed. He knew that she was going to brainwash him now. There was no doubt about it.

…

Storm Shadow returned to see Amethyst hugging the man who had attacked her. He stood there with the bag he had just bought and waited for Amethyst to sit up. When she didn't he threw the bag at her and walked away. It's just like a woman to flirt with the enemy. His thoughts ran faster than he could control them at that moment. Enemy, I don't serve Cobra anymore, and I already call him my enemy.

Amethyst jumped when the plastic bag hit her. Finally she sat up and brought the thing out of the bag. Turning the metronome on; she set it so the wand was facing Henderson. "I want you to focus on the wand of the metronome. I want you to listen to the ticking noise that it makes. Let it ease your mind and cleanse your soul…" Upon seeing him relax into her voice and the ticking noise of the metronome Amethyst continued. "Listen to my voice Pile-Driver; I want you to leave this house after this. You have not found your quarry, and you are going to report back to your superior officer. You searched the house until there was nothing left to search."

"I searched the address; the ninja and the Chinese woman were not there." Henderson said in a dead tone.

"They seem to have left before you got here."

"They seem to have left before I got there."

"Afterwards you got into your vehicle and left."

"Afterwards I got into my vehicle and left."

Amethyst hoped she had left nothing out. "Wǒ yǐjīng duì nǐ shuō de zhèxiē dōngxi, xiànzài nǐ bìxū fúcóng. Shuìmián dǎzhuāng jī."i

Henderson slumped into himself and Amethyst let out a sigh of relief. She bent forward and untied Henderson's wrists. "Storm Shadow, I need your help!" She called before starting to pull the heavy man to his feet. "Like now!"

Storm Shadow walked into the room, having only stood outside the door, and helped Amethyst carry Henderson ot his vehicle. Seemed that the man had done a solo mission for Cobra. "How long until he wakes up?"

"As soon as I snap my fingers…means I need to be behind a bush." She started to make it for one of the bushes near the vehicle when Storm Shadow grabbed her shoulder. "What?"

Storm Shadow pointed to the bushes then at himself. "I'll do it, better me than you. That way you can escape and I don't have a dead body on my hands if this turns bad."

Amethyst bit her lip then nodded her head. "All right, but no funny business. Wait until I am out of sight, ok?"

"Never planned on any funny business, Sensei." The last word escaped his mouth before he could stop it. He never considered her his teacher until that point. He had never thought of anyone as a teacher after Hard Master.

Amethyst didn't think twice about his statement. Instead she hurried off back into the house but left the door open, incase when Henderson woke up he looked towards the door and thought that he hadn't finished searching. That would end badly. She thought while ducking behind a windowless wall and waiting.

i Wǒ yǐjīng duì nǐ shuō de zhèxiē dōngxi, xiànzài nǐ bìxū fúcóng. Shuìmián dǎzhuāng jī: These things I have said to you, now you must obey. Sleep Pile-Driver.
