G.I.Joe fanfic book 1: all is fair in love and spies

Time skip

A/N: SO! I was writing part 2 of Face Off! When I thought I should give you a sneak peak off the future of the story or stories and I just had to get this on paper. If you don't want to read about Katherine's future then don't read but I really wanted to share this with ya'll and I am cutting stuff out so you don't get major spoilers and this is taking place after Retaliation and a little before The Winter Solider. Oh, and HEB is a grocery store chain in Texas that has fresh and great food, it is by far more better than Walmart or any other larger chains. At least in my opinion. Prepare yourselves for the feels and fluff! There are many in this chapter because I fully intend to break your heart and you Don't even know the have of it. I figured if I have to suffer with the knowledge if their future then so did you but beware the future can change. In this case maybe or maybe not. *smirks* I do not own G.I.Joe or Marvel, I wish I did!

Another side note: here's the game plan for before the movies starts, Face off part two, two fun chapters, one mission with Snakeeyes and maybe one more mission, maybe one or two flash back or dream chapter and then the beginning of Rise of Cobra.

Time Skip

"Where is Katherine? We need to talk about that stunt she pulled earlier." Scarlett said, angrily at Melody. The woman sat calmly on the long black leather couch and studied Scarlett with a bored interest.
Melody took a delicate sip of her glass of pink mascoto from HEB and then spoke,"Katherine is probably street racing again, she seems to do that in any spare time she gets but you wouldn't know that would you?" Melody answered Scarlett's question, curtly with a sharp hostile edge in her velvet voice, full of warning.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Scarlett asked with a hint of hurt in her question," Why is she street racing?"
"To answer your first question, ya'll seem to not give a rat's rear about what happens to Katherine and for your second question, it keeps o mind off certain things and she enjoys the thrill of high speeds of the races. She has always has." Melody growled, Jackie and Margarita moved to Melody's spot on the couch, ready ro give any support to their familia.
Scarlett jerked back as if slapped, she knew that when Katherine was forced to leave after.... Everything, it wounded the Family's friendship with the Joes. She knew on their turf, the Joes treading on thin ice. Even where Katherine, herself didn't blame them for their deaths but her family however, did.
The ringing of Melody's Stark phone, it played Kansas', 'Carry On My Wayward Son,' and that broke the rising tensions. Melody saw the caller id was Antonio, who was at tonight's races with Katherine instead of racing, he was making bets on Katherine's races. She answered," Tell Katherine, she needs to get back here before I-" Melody was interrupted by Antonio's jumbled, panicked Spanish that was repeating one phrase over and over. Once she deciphered his mushed sentence, what he said made her blood run cold. '¡Katherine ha estado en un accidente realmente malo en las razas! No creo que la respiración! ¿Qué puedo hacer?!' (Katherine has been in a really bad accident at the races! She's not breathing! What do I do?!) He kept chanting,'¿Qué puedo hacer?' (What do I do?) To the phone, to Melody but her tongue wouldn't work to form words. She thought, this couldn't be happening not with the issues with her powers not working, properly. Finally, she found her voice and said almost just as panicked as Antonio,"What happened?! Is she alright?! Never mind I'll be there in a few minutes." A sense of déjà vu at her sentence, that was what Tony said to Katherine after she called about... No, that wouldn't happen to Katherine, she would not lose another hermana.
Everyone in the room spun to Melody's outburst and watched as she flung herself off the couch, spilling her drink on the wood flooring and glass shattering across it dark stained wood. She snatched up the keys to the Expedition along with the small grey cylinder container and without being invited Roadblock, Snakeeyes and Scarlett followed Melody, Jackie and Margarita out the apartment's door and into the black Expedition. They tore out onto the streets and headed to the race location, Melody prayed that Katherine would be alright, that no other Ramses would be claimed for many years to come. Questions where asked by Joes and the Familia but Melody didn't seem to register them, all she could hear was the pounding of her heart. Emotions crashed over her like a tidal wave and she screamed out," Damn it all to Hell!" Her hands clutched the steering wheel like it was a life line and floored the gas pedal. Anxiety and fear raced through her body, it was almost over whelming if she wasn't on a mission she would just lose herself in it's dragging seas, but she was on a mission to save Katherine's life. She wasn't ready to lose her.
The tires squealed in protest when Melody slammed her foot on the brakes. The wreckage of Katherine's once beautiful red Mustang made her want to puke, it was such of a nauseating sight. Red fragments of the gorgeous Pony car were scattered across the blacktop, then her horrified gaze fell upon the car , itself. The Mustang was crushed, the roof was caved in on itself. The car as a whole looked like a giant hand crushed the car and then lobbed it as far as it would go. It was also missing two wheels that she saw one was a few yards away and the other stuck in an oak tree. There was a body that was stuck half way out of the car, unmoving. Antonio was crouched beside the body, talking to it to try and get any form of a response. Tears flowed down his handsome tan face.
The front bumper laid a few feet in front of the parked King Ranch edition Ford Expedition. Melody got out of the car on shaky legs and before she knew it her legs were carrying her to the crash site. She pushed Detective Casanova out of her way, he knew what he needed to do and get the press and cops to go away. She slid next to Katherine, she looked worse than the Mustang. Her own blood matted her short raven hair and her yellow-golden eyes stared out in the distance. Deep cuts covered her body and she broke her femur enough that part of the bloody bone stuck out, her right arm was in a similar situation. Melody saw her hands were coated in blood, they were twisted and at odd angles. That wasn't the worst, a large piece of jagged metal was impaled through Katherine's chest. "RJ! Roadblock!" Melody screamed at them, RJ hopped out of his car that he just arrived in and raced to their side. Roadblock ran with the others following close behind. "We need to get her out of the car." Melody ordered but her voice shook. Roadblock and RJ moved the ruined heavy bits and Melody pulled Katherine out and dragged her away from the wreaked car.
"Katherine? Hermana, can you hear me? Please answer me!" Melody begged her best friend, clutching her hand in her own and she started to sobbed when Katherine didn't respond. Margarita pressed two fingers to Katherine's bloodied throat to try a find any sign of a pulse. Melody looked to Margarita's beautiful yet solum face and she shook it. No pulse, for the first time in two years, Melody cried, she cried hard. Tears blurred her vision and she reached out and pushed Katherine's bloodied hair out of her face. That beautiful Egyptian goddess-like face that made many men want her. Her full, now pale lips were parted like she died saying something and her eyes... her dangerously gorgeous golden-yellow eyes were now devoid of any life.
She looked up for answers, she saw Snakeeyes standing as still as a statue behind everyone, his masked gaze was fixed on the unmoving figure of Katherine Eliza Ramses. She knew of the two's history and that she figured out they still had a thing. It must be killing him on the inside, it must be like she felt right now. That a demon was tearing his insides out and that was a horrible feeling to have.
Jackie pushed through the group with the grey cylinder in her grip, Margarita moved out of the spy's way and Jackie crouched next to the dead body. She set the mysterious cylinder next to Katherine's body and spoke,"perdone mí, mi hermana. Sé que esto no es lo que quiso pero le necesitamos con nosotros." (Forgive me, my sister. I know this isn't what you wanted but we need you with us.) Her hand came and wrapped itself around the ragged piece of metal sticking out of Katherine's chest and yanked it out. No blood flowed from the wound because her heart doesn't pump any more blood pumped through Katherine's veins. Melody stared in horror and was about to push Jackie away when hands seized her and dragged her away. She kick and hollered at Clint but he held her as Jackie took a silver syringe out of the cylinder. Jackie filled the syringe with a crystal clear liquid. Natasha and the Familia blocked anyone form interrupting Jackie and they tried. Jackie then stabbed the syringe into Katherine's chest and injected the clear liquid into her. "por favor trabaje." (please work.) Melody watched in disbelief as Jackie took out a handheld tazzer out of her brown leather cowboy boot and shock Katherine, her body gave a jolt as the voltage raced through her lifeless body. No response. Jackie started to do CPR and compressions on Katherine. Melody realized what Jackie was trying to do when Scarlett and Roadblock did.
"Jacks... She's gone...." Melody whispered to her hermana, her voice so soft and so broken. She slumped on the ground when Clint released her and she slowly crawled closer to Katherine's body.
"I haven't given up yet." Jackie snarled to everyone. Scarlett moved to pull Jackie away and she shrugged away from Scarlett's hand. When all hope seemed lost, Katherine's eyes widened in an unimaginable pain and her mouth opened, sucked in a shaky breath and let a tortured scream escaped her lips. Everyone jumped in shock, they weren't expecting this. She tried to move and clench her hands but couldn't because of her broken fingers, more pained noises escaped her as she struggled. She looked confused and unsure of what just happened like she didn't remember the crash.
Snakeeyes finally moved and lunged to her side, moving to clam the raging woman. He grasped her other hand, giving her any and all support that he could give. Melody stared in disbelief and wondered what in the holy heaven was in that syringe.
"We need morphine or something! Damian Casanova!" Margarita ordered, her doctor instinct kicking in. Casanova grabbed a medical kit and passed it off to Margarita who yanked it open and then ordered Snakeeyes to move. He jerked his head up, visor met furious dark brown eyes, evenly. He was clearly stating that he was refusing to leave her side, ever again. Melody saw Katherine try to squeeze his hand and focused his sole attention to her.
Melody stood up and backed up so that Margarita could help, Margarita started to work her magic. "Katherine." She cooed," Hermana, you're going to be fine.... if you can understand me, nod or do anything." Margarita grabbed a another syringe and started to workk.
"You're as bad as First Aid with.... terrible bedside... manners.... 'Rita." Katherine managed to say and smiled, weakly.
Margarita smiled at this and she said," Good," she injected a pain and sleep medicine into Katherine, who drifted off into blissful sleep. That's when she started to set her bones in place, Melody had to turn away from the sight. It was one thing to break the enemies' bones among other things but to see a doctor work on her own hermana was another thing, entirely.
Melody asked Jackie," What did you give her?"
"An experimental concoction that scientists at SHEILD created for Katherine's issue, I didn't know if it would work or not." Jackie supplied, her gaze never left Katherine," I'm glad it did."
"Me too." Was all Melody could say in reply and she was. She lost her best friend and Jackie brought her back, there wasn't enough words in the world to say that expressed how thankful she felt.
Margarita stood and cleaned her hands with a baby wipe,"I can work on her better at home. Someone needs to carry-" She was cut off when Snakeeyes picked Katherine up with a gentleness and caring that could only originate from someone who loves the person. Melody could see what Katherine had been to blind to see, that she had someone willing to stand by her and who loves her. Katherine needed to see this before she loses it.....
(Katherine's POV)
Katherine stirred from her deep sleep and felt strong hands tighten their hold around her, she was being carried... by whom? Whoever it was, he or she was walking up steps. The last thing she remembers was that a$$butt in the stupid black Dodge Charger crashing her car, her precious Mustang. She loved that car, the Mustang was where most of her firsts happened in. It was where she learned to drive, what she raced for the first time, where she first got kissed by Andy... the list could go on and on.
Katherine cracked open her eyes and saw a clad black neck, her heart leapt into her hurting throat and started to race with anxiety. Snakeeyes. She couldn't move much, thanks to whatever pain meds 'Rita gave her but she could talk.
"Snakeeyes?" She croaked. "Where are we?"
His head tilted down to her, she saw her reflection on his black visor. He held her tighter to his ridged body and didn't answer but his action said it all. She died and came back. Katherine should write a book called 'how many times one can die before taking the hint that the afterlife didn't want her sorry arse.' She managed a weak laugh and rested her pounding head against Snakeeyes' shoulder. "So what was it this time? Eh? Blood force trauma to the head? What?"
"You died, Katherine. That is not a laughing matter." Melody hissed from behind. Katherine craned her sore neck over Snakeeyes' shoulder to meet Melody's gaze, evenly and seriously, no longer laughing. They reached the concrete landing to the apartment. "You weren't going to come back, you were going to stay dead."
"That's what people do." Katherine said,"You should have left me dead." When that sentence left her lips, Snakeeyes halted at once and put Katherine down and almost stormed into the apartment, he wouldn't storm but you could see the anger radiating from him in raging waves. Katherine swayed on her feet from light headedness, frowned and turned to Melody. "What?"
Melody could strangle Katherine to death, again, for her stupidity. It wasn't that Katherine was stupid but she didn't know how to respond to something good in her life. So many bad things started to tip the scale a long, long time ago. "Why? Why in the name of all that is holy in the universe would you think that?" Melody asked, almost spitting in fury and fumed at the spy.
Katherine leaned against the wall of the apartment and suddenly Katherine looked old and weary. Katherine met Melody's eyes and several minutes had past before she finally spoke," I..... I honestly don't want to live anymore."
Melody stared at her oldest friend in horror, unwilling tears formed in her eyes, once more," Wha-? Katherine-" Melody started but Katherine cut her off.
"I'm in pain, 24/7, I'm tired and I have nothing to live for anymore." She said.
Melody yelled at Katherine," You have us to live for!"
"There is no cure."
"So, you're just giving up! On life!? On us?! On him?! ON YOUR FAMILY?!" Melody screamed at Katherine, tears falling down her face like waterfalls. Her heart was breaking for her dear friend by the second.
"I-." Katherine started to make an excuse or to reflect the question but she stopped and her gaze fell to her feet. She only had one shoe on, the other one must've been blown off during the wreak. A cheerful, bright yellow, cartoony smiley face grinned up to her. "....Maybe." She admitted, quietly. She couldn't bring herself to look up into Melody's eyes.
Melody moved forward and tightly wrapped her arms around a sore Katherine." Don't.... Don't give up, you have so much to live for. Tatiana, Gabriella, our familia, the Avengers, the Joes and Snakeeyes. You have so much, you just need to open your eyes and see it." Melody pulled away and said, sternly," You need to take care your familia, You can't and won't give up because if you do I will bring you back to kill you, myself. Got it."
Katherine gave a weak smile and said "yeah."
"Now, go in there and get that smexy ninja of yours." Melody ordered, playfully and smacked her bum when she started to walk through the door. Katherine shot her hermana a mock glare, the events smoothed over like it never even happened because that's how they worked. They would breakdown and spill their hearts out in front of each other, then go on like nothing ever happened.
Katherine walked into the house and ignored everyone and walked into her room, where Snakeeyes sat on her bed. She was shocked to see that he removed his helmet and visor but she recognized the look in his eyes. A look she has only seen twice before.
"Snake-." She started but she was cutoff when he stood and cross the room until he was in front of her. His eyes bored into hers and it took her breath away. He leaned down and captured her lips with his own, he was trying to express everything he felt with this kiss. Katherine didn't think about the repercussions, she just acted. Her hands entangled themselves in Snakeeyes's hair when he deepened the kiss. Together they walked backwards, not breaking the kiss until something hit the back of Katherine's legs and they fell on the bed. Katherine decided while kissing the one man she could spend forever that she wasn't giving up without a fight.....
