Because I Care
by Sailor Poison

Chapter 1

The time period was still during the cold war with Russia. But Russia was not the real problem for the world. There was a secret terrorist group that has vowed to bring the world to its knees. They go by the name Cobra. They were ruthless and willing to try anything to achieve their goals.

That is why a special organization called G.I.Joe was formed. The name was more a code name to protect the people who work in it. Each member was a specialist in some field.

The members of this organization were rather colorful. One of more colorful members is a name named Shipwreck. Real name was Hector X. Delgado. Was raised in California. Joined the navy at the early age of 16, with his parents permission, and became the quintessential sailor. Seen his share of fighting before he left the navy. The Joe team found him living in a dessert of all places. He built a special land boat that could sail the dunes like a boat with no fear of the wheels sinking into the sands. The Cobra troops left him alone and he left them alone. One day, the heroes needed to rent his boat. That got him mixed up in things and his boat got wrecked. After alot of arguing about paymehe whe went and joined them. Went by the code name Shipwreck. Proved to be a great asset to them time and time again. Great in hand to hand combat and has steel nerves. His faults tended to grate on the nerves of his superiors. He was arrogant, loud mouthed, and had no respect for authority. Despite that, they sent him to Seal training. The man came back with more skills and the same attitude despite the harsh training of the Seal program. General Hawk onc once quote to say this.

“Shipwreck is without question the most frustrating and annoying member of the entire team. He's arrogant, loudmouthed, and has virtually no respect for authority. He must have somehow fooled them into thinking he'd changed to get through SEAL training. That's the really annoying thing about him--he's so blasted good at what he does that it almost compensates for his personality . . . almost.”

Shipwreck wasn’t a bad guy though. He even liked to flirt with the ladies (cover girl was his usual target). He is always the first at the mike on karaoke night and can perform a number of amusing tricks with his tattoos. He is willing to help out a friend in need. Could fry some eggs and eat them while being in the center of a gale. Brown hair that was almost black, and dark brown eyes. Wore a sailor style outfit (white sailor's hat; open-collared, short-sleeved blue shirt with red stripes on right arm; blue bell-bottom pants with black gloves, belt, holster, and shoes) around the base but has been known to wear a wet suit on special missions.

Usually he tended to be in a good mood. The past few days, that has not been so. This has not gone unnoticed by the other team members. Not that many wanted to ever get into a real fight with him. Scarlet has been tempted on trying to approach the sailor on a few occasions but felt the timing was wrong. Even Duke was forced to admit this was not the usual behavior and tried to get down to the bottom of things. Truth be told, his change in temper baffled Shipwreck the most. It started a few days ago when Snake-eyes returned to the base after personal leave.

Snake-eyes has been a mystery to most the unit for a long time. Ninja of the highest ability. Wore a body dark gray tight outfit that pretty much showed his slender muscular body off in a complimentary way. Till a few days ago, no one has ever seen anything except his intense blue eyes that often had then women swooning. No one really knew where he went except this one case, Shipwreck and one of the girls who has been seen dating the ninja.

Snake-eyes was a very handsome man who didn’t always wear masks. He has extensive training as a ninja, along with his brother Storm Shadow who was current working for Cobra. Years ago, Snake-eyes was in a helicopter accident. The Joe force found him living in the mountains with only a timber wolf for company. Now he comes and goes in the HQ. Through the years he has been seeking plastic surgery. Blade hit his face and did some damage. By miracle he lived but was scarred and mute. Thus, his face was hidden by mask for more personal reason then the desire to be mysterious. Finally got a doctor who was highly skilled and his face fixed. So, on his latest return, he left his mask off. Regardless to say, all the women of the unit swooned even more. The men all felt a pang of jealousy for the ninja was very handsome. Hard to believe his hair was that shade of blond. He had that surfer look to him.

Not that Shipwreck was activity dating anyone in the unit. But people like Duke, who was dating Scarlet and Flint, who was seeing Lady Jaye, didn’t appreciate them looking at Snake-eyes like that. For Hector, started as a mere annoyance. Yet, some reason the agitation grew inside the navy man. To the point even his pet parrot Polly declined to sit on his shoulder.

The day Duke tried to get him to explain himself didn’t go so well. Hard to tell people something when you hardly know the answer. First time he forced himself not to deck a person. Found himself looking at Snake-eyes in a different way. The ninja walked with quiet grace. Body was almost perfect with just enough muscle. Maybe these thought disturbed him. Never thought of himself as gay in any manner. Was the first guy willing to hit on a beautiful woman in a bar anywhere at anytime. Now his thoughts went into areas that left him confused.

Yet, Cobra didn’t halt their attempts even if someone was having a bad week or two. Report that Cobra was seen in one of the most hard to navigate swamps. That mean they needed to send Shipwreck out with Snake-eyes to do some reconnaissance. Not that they wanted aro around head questers at the moment.

Snake-eyes was a bit puzzled by the navy man’s behavior as well. Was fond of him, despite his lack of respect for superiors. If he would admit it to himself, have to say very fond. Was hoping his friend got his problem sorted out soon.

Chap 2

Swamp. What can one say to describe the swamp. Muggy, with its share of wet and dry places. Trees standing in an almost creepy way pout of the water. Birds flying about. Water also hard to see through. Life all around, and not all of it friendly. Both were on the boat. Shipwreck navigated the swamp without much trouble. He was wearing a blue sweater and wool cap. Sweater’s long sleeves covered the tattoo on his arms. Before the mission, he studied as many map he could get his hands on, old and new. Snake-eyes also did his share of research. The quiet between them was mutually agreed upon. Snake-eyes was mediating on the deck. Hard to tell he was alive, except for his breathing. Navy man tried not to think of his partner, just his piloting. Comes to a stop in a quiet, dark part of the swamp. Polly was kept with Lady Jaye on this mission. Last thing he needed was the bird squawking at the wrong time. Though Shipwreck did start to miss his bird. She would have been something to talk to when the ninja was on patrol. After carefully camouflaging the boat, Snake-eyes went on his mission. That left Shipwreck alone to his thoughts.

Hector sat up from a bad dream. Rubs the sleep out of his eyes, began to wonder where Snake-eyes was. Checks his watch to see that the hands were no longer moving. Wonders how much time has passed. By the dim light, sun set was almost over. He began to worry about Snake-eyes now. Not that the ninja couldn’t handle himself but that didn’t stop the concern. Then some noise caught his attention.

Snake-eyes on the other hand was not doing so well. He found the Cobra encampment but has been holed up for several hours. This seemed nothing more then another training base for their grunts. Or was it? So Snake-eyes was watching them train. He was almost convinced it was nothing but training, except for that one room he has yet to see. He wants to sneak inside before he left. It was starting to get dark out now. With skill that would have made his master proud, he made his way to the door. His black gloved hand checked to see the door was locked, then skillfully pick the lock. Slips into the room as silent as a shadow. The room was dark except for a few monitors that haven’t been turned off. Some strange vials set up next to a make shift lab. Two the left were some cages for humans. One the other side was the cages with small animals. Some lay dead now. They looked recently dead by the fact they were still limp and warm. The lab set also looked still new as if it just arrived. He had no idea who was going to be the unlucky human subject. Not many people live in this swamp, definitely not as deep as they were. Eyes fell upon some CDs. He quickly slips one into the computer to see what was on it. Information on a new poison. He hardly looks it over, for he didn’t have the time. Instead, Snake-eyes took the two cds and dumps the vials in the sink. The cobra grunts might be pathetic goons who trip over their own feet, but didn’t deserve to be experimented on by their own boss. He sneaks out, leaving the door locked. It was dark out now as he sneaks back to the boat. Felt a snake past him. So carefully he walked that even the animals ignored him. Then heard the noise of the boat coming to him? This didn’t seem right, so he hid to the side. As the boat passed him, noted the Pilot wasn’t Shipwreck but a dreadnought. The others he couldn’t see that well. The boat was by down away ahead of him but he knew where it was going. Carefully made his way back to the base.

Shipwreck was bound by chains. Pain in his left shoulder his reward for his struggle. It took several dreadnoughts to bring him down. Torch was complaining about his nose being broken. Ripper was busy laughing at the misfortune of his fellow mercenary. Buzzer was keeping an eye on their captive. Monkey wrench was the driver. Not that Shipwreck was thrilled about being caught off guard but got some satisfaction that he gave his foe some hits before his capture. The one of them remembered they had a gun and shot the Joe man in the left shoulder. To be honest, they ran across him by pure chance. Figured they must be heading back to base now.

Torch, “That bloody Joe is gonna pay when we get back, mark my words!”

Buzzer, “Not our fault he broke ya nose... Hehehehehe.”

Torch, “Yeah, you were too busy taking swan dive into the swamp.”

Shipwreck, “Let me up and I’ll give you second helping of them knuckle sandwiches! I can fight you all with one hand tied behind my back!”

Chainsaw kicks him in the stomach, “Shut up! That’s it we’re muting him!”

That is when they put tape over his mouth. Shipwreck fought that too but in the end got his mouth taped closed anyway. Wondered if snake-eyes was okay. He got roughly man handled off the boat and through the swamp base.

In the better light one can see the dreadnaughts better. Monkeywrench was a man with red hair and beard. Usually silver sunglasses. Had on his open red vest; grenades diagonally across chest; black gloves; blue jeans with black belt, holster, and boots; dark blue patch on right leg and red cloth tied around both legs). Torch has has brown hair, sideburns, and mustache. His clothes were: red headband; black sunglasses, spiked collar, and open vest; skull necklace; dark gray right armband and gloves; light blue jeans with dark gray holsters and boots; silver chain belt and boots. Ripper has black Mohawk hair and beard. Shipwreck always thought he belonged to the Village people. He wore: red sunglasses; ripped sleeveless green camouflage with gold knife; light blue jeans with black belt, holster, and boots). Buzzer was the blond of the group. Had his hair in a ponytail and wore: silver sunglasses; beige sleeveless open-collared shirt with green strap; light blue jeans with black belt and six thigh pads; black left wristband; snake tattoo on shoulder; brown boots.

Dropped at the feet of Zartan himself. Zartan had long brown hair that he sometimes had under a cowl. Wore a blue vest, gray boots, and gloves that go half way up his arm. Looks at the Joe with a scowl. Apparently he wasn’t having a good day. After finding out someone has been in the lab, he had the dreadnoughts come back from their patrols. The one good thing was finding one of the Joe members. He was far from an idiot. Knew that they never just send one out. The only other good thing was the intruder missed one vile of poison.

Zartan, “Any sign of the others?”

Chainsaw, “Nope. Just found him on their fancy swamp boat.”

Zartan grumbles, “His friends will find out sooner or later. Bring him to the lab. At least we’ll get some use out of him.”

Shipwreck was brought into a room to see the same thing, minus the rack of strange vials. One vile sat in the rack now. By chance one vile sat next to the animals cages out of sight. Thus, it was spared premature dumping from the intruder. Zartan ripped the tape from his mouth which also yanked out some of his whiskers. Yelp from the sailor was followed by the sadistic chuckles from the mercenaries.

Shipwreck, “Keep laughing, ya damn wimps. I bet a new recruit could still kick your asses!”

Zartan, “ Where are your friends? I doubt you came alone.”

Shipwreck, “ I was alone, you damn retard. Even if I wasn’t I would never tell you where my allies were!” Not that he knew.

Zartan, “ I am sure they will come to us. First I am going to let my men have a little fun, sailor boy. Then you get to help our research.”

As Zartan prepared the last shot, his Dreadnaughts proceeds to have fun with their prisoner. Each one taking turns abusing the poor joe. Not that Zartan wanted to join in. Just wasn’t his taste. But he did enjoy listening to it. Shipwreck was left feeling bruised in body and pride. Wished they took the time to prepare his ass before raping it. Had a feeling the worst was yet to come as he lays exhausted on his bunk from the assaults and the blood loss to watch zartan approach with need.

Chapter 3

Snake-eyes found himself going through the cobra camp but this time with a new mission. The trainees were also doing the normal guard duties that more experienced fighters should have been doing. So, the highly skilled Ninja found it easy to sneak up and knock them out. Still didn’t let himself get cocky as he made his way through the base. Only knew one place with any cells and that whe mhe make shift lab. Wasn’t worried about tests being don the the crank sailor, more worried about what they will do when they seen all their chemicals were drained. Most likely take their anger out on their captive. The blood on the deck showed someone was hurt. He just hoped it wasn’t Shipwreck’s blood. Got to the door where the lab was with little trouble. The door was still locked. This felt like more of a trap now. Yet, he still unlocked the door and edged inside. There was another in the room. Lights snap on to show Zartan in the chair with the gun trained on the ninja.

Zartan, “I knew his friends would come back... Any more of you?” gets silence, “Hmmm.... Hard to believe they would just send two.”

Snake eyes could hear the other dreadnaughts coming towards the door. Shipwreck lays on a cot in one of the cells. Bloody makeshift bandage was put on in a clumsy style. Shipwreck must have done it himself. Doubted the enemy would have been that kind.

Zartan, “Our guest doesn’t seem to be doing so good.... I know you have the cd. Give it over.”

The other dreadnaughts rushed inside. Snake-eyes used the sudden appearance to throw a star at the end of the gun Zartan held as he swiftly brings out his sword. Snake -eyes jumped amongst them before they could lock their guns at him. Fists, feet, and sword flashing as soon they all fall down. That left Zartan who was made his way to the cell. Held a small gun pointed at the unconscious man. He figured his men might fail, so decided to take a hostage.

Zartan, “The CD or his life.”

Snake-eyes took out a Cd with delicate care. He didn’t want his friend killed. Yet knew the word of a mercenary like Zartan wasn’t worth anything. Mercy wasn’t in the Cobra dictionary. Then again, Zartan didn’t know he had more then one Cd on him. Held it up enough for Zartan to see before he tossed it to the a dark corner. The man went to get the cd, least it get damaged. That was when Snake-eyes ran to the cell. The CD he wants must be needed to make more of the poison. Grabs the man and runs out the door. Doesn’t take the time to check him out, satisfied with the knowledge he still was breathing. By then Zartan has finally found the cd. From the scream of rage, must have learned it was the wrong cd.

Made it for the boat, hoping on only to pause long enough to put the man down and then starting the boat up. Can hear men starting to fire at the boat itself. Didn't care. In the dark with only lights of the boat, he began to do a fast retreat. Piloting boats were not his expertise of course. Several times he had near misses. The few that have hit didn’t do enough damage to stop them. Forced to stop, only when he knows they have enough distance. By now he hears some soft moans from the navy man.

Shipwreck woke on the deck, watching Snake-eyes do some lousy piloting. Body felt like it was on fire. Shoulder wound was least of his worries. Looked nastier then it really was. Snake eyes pushes back his mask before he knelt next to him. Blue eyes that showed concern.

Shipwreck, “Don’t tell me, you need a real navy man to get us out? I can do that as soon as I get the energy to do it.”

Snake-eyes smirked and shrugs as he examined his friend. Didn’t care for how hot his forehead felt. Shipwreck got to his feet and took the controls of the boat.

Shipwreck, “Need to contact the HQ.... First need to hide his baby. Don’t need cobra scum bag catching us with our britches down!”

After carefully navigation, hides in a boat. It helps that it is still night out. All the lights were put out. Shipwreck then sat down in a chair and with a small light tries to contact the Joe HQ. The static was in the line. That couldn’t be helped.

Shipwreck, “Headquarters, this is Shipwreck. We need assistance. There is some kind of base here. Doing experiments on animals. And humans.”

That didn’t do unnoticed by snake-eyes.

Lady Jaye, “We’ll try to home in on your signal.”

Shipwreck, “Make that ASAP.... “Almost falls out of his chair.

Snake-eyes is there once again, supporting him. His breathing wasn’t that good. This can’t be from the shoulder wound. Dim light he signs , asking if Shipwreck was injected with anything.

Shipwreck, “Fucking bloody land lumbers shot something evil in me. They bragged about it being a new poison. Nothing we can do but wait and hope the others aren’t too damn slow.”

Snake-eyes nods as he helps Shipwreck lay down on a fold out cot.

Shipwreck, “I guess we have a long night...”

Snake-eyes signs, asking what has been wrong with him for the past few weeks.

Shipwreck, “Now you are gonna be on my case about that too?! Bleh...” Coughs some, “ I don’t know... “ Snake-eyes gets a blanket for him. “Maybe, cause it drove me nuts seeing all those damn girls around you like you were a super star. Swooning all over you.”

Snake-eye says he found the fuss over him too much.

Shipwreck, “Not just that.... I... really like you.”

Sound of vehicle approaching. Both knew it was far too soon to be their friends. Snake-eyes thought the vehicles sounding too sure of where they were going to just simple be looking. Maybe a tracer was placed on their boat? He didn’t have time to mess with Cobra.

Zartan on a speaker, “Be a good lil Joe and hand us that Disk. We might let you live long enough to see sunrise.”

If he could speak, he would express how he doubted this would be true. Zartan was not one to always keep his word unless you paid him. Snake-eyes had no desire to do that anytime soon. Grabs his gun and starts to fire at the boat. Heard some swearing as Zartan took cover. Couldn’t help but smile at that. Yet, didn’t need them firing at the boat, so he leapt across to land on their boat.

Felt as if his body was on fire. Heard some fighting nearby. He sits up, feeling spike of pain through his spine.

Shipwreck, “Snake-eyes?”

Visions was poor as he looked across to the other ship. Could see hat looked liked fighting. Takes a gun and tries to take aim at what he thinks is the enemy. Stared to shoot at the enemy. His shoots were actually off mark. Snake-eyes was doing pretty good on his own and had 3/4 of Zartan men down when the firing started, Felt a bullet smack him where he kept the cd. Zartan also fell, with a chest wound. About then a light down from a boat. Snake-eyes fled to the boat to check on his friend to collapsed again. Zartan’s crew beat a hasty retreat. They may not be loyal to others but were protective of their own members. Boat came chasing the retreating villains as boast arrived with Joe allies.

Chapter 4

The cd was destroyed by an errant bullet. Thus all info on the poison was lost. The base was raided and many of the grunts were caught, but Zartan’s gang got away. The base held little info on the poison, except the rats that lay dead.

Shipwreck lay in sickbay. Little could be done except keep him stabilized as possible. His pulse was weak and touching him seemed to only bring him pain. Sake-eyes stayed by his bed, watching the man struggle. Unable to touch him or speak. Began to think about their friendship. Going over the last spoken words. Didn’t have a chance on the boat. Remembers how they worked well together. Now, he began to wonder, how did he feel about Hector. The man was optimistic and stubborn. Sometimes went by the beat of his own drum. Hard not to like this man. Liked him alot. No, more then that. Could it be, he be in loved the old sailor? He dated girls, but had no real care for them like he should. Just to keep people from asking questions or to give a cover when he wasn’t around. His bird was always there. They hoped that might help connect Shipwreck with the world of the living, if he had his beloved parrot squawking close by.

Hector started to moan. This brought Snake-eyes back from his deep thoughts. The man began to thrash in his bed calling out a name. It was Mara or something like that. Snake-eyes had to use all his weight to keep the navy man down. Suddenly, he started to calm down.

Shipwreck mumbles out, “Snake-eyes...... Don’t go.... there, they don’t serve good beer.” as he passes back out.

People came to check in on them. Snake-eyes was polite to them all. Even Coronal Flirt stopped by. Maybe a pang of guilt. The sun was set now. Shipwreck made it thus far, sleeping in a near comatose state. The others tried to pull the ninja away. He was determined to be there for his friend. Slowly, Shipwreck become more stabilized. All the signs were looking more promising. Has the old sea dog beat it?

Hector opened his eyes to see a tired Ninja by his side. Smiles wanly at him. How long has he been asleep? Yet, felt happy to see Snake-eyes has been with him. No, relived.

Shipwreck, “Hey.... what does a sailor have to do to get something to drink?”

Snake-eyes smiles and helps him sip some water.

Shipwreck, “How long have I been out of it?”

Snake-eyes tells him for for a couple days.

Shipwreck, ”That long? I’m surprised they haven’t accused me of being lazy.”

Hears a smile from his friend who can only chuckle in a mute fashion.

Shipwreck, “Have you been with me all this time?” gets a nod, “But... why?”

Snake-eyes just looks down and signs, “Because I care for you alot also.”
