He realized he was just staring because Tony was starting to look unnerved. Then Id suggest you not violate procedure in the future. Except he didnt look happy; his expression was almost blank except for faint signs of stress. This was extreme but Mason had always been a very emotional guy. Author: Jilly James Hows Tony doing, Rick asked as soon as theyd finished the case update. Thanks so much! The van had stopped short for a minute and then started moving again and merged onto the highway when the doors opened and this thing - you, I guess, fell out, or was pushed? Once his throat was a little less parched and the head of the bed had been raised a bit, Gibbs asked, How are you feeling today?. Both have been through a lot, and when life inevitably takes a dip into the unbearable again, one Tony is there for the other, unconditionally. He had thought he had found a home here, a place to belong and do good work, but lately things had changed too much. Gibbs blew out a breath and sat back in his chair. Apparently getting out of the car was worse than getting in. For Tony.. Youre pretty messed up right now. I love this more each and every time I read it! Behold: Five Times Tonys Ex-Boyfriends Showing Up In His Life At NCIS Was Cumulatively A Very Bad, Awful, Horrible, Painful Thing. But the case, McGee began from the backseat. The doctor took the time to explain that they still needed to evaluate the test results, but that he seemed to be doing fairly well other than the crippling headaches. Just when he thinks he knows how things will go his life changes and boy what a change it is. It had been over the line in so many ways and Tony had tried to speak calmly and rationally to the man he had thought was his friend and who respected him only to be shot down. I could medal in being a dick at the Olympics, if it was a sport. Probably not, but do it anyway. What? I know his qualifications, Gibbs., I mean, that if you had actually read Tonys file, including the parts Morrow and Shepard agreed to put in the classified portion, youd be a fool to have this opinion of him. Vance is waiting for both of you. They were in the car reading, Gibbs said bitingly. However, you are rather colorful at the moment. I love this. I swear to Thor. (See the end of the work for more notes. Thanks . The other guy was gay? Tony caught a rifle butt to the face because of you. Id like to see you, to date, to try again., Tony snorted. Ive persuaded them that having you leave is not in their or Tonys best interests, Jethro, Ducky said as he handed Gibbs a cup of coffee, from which he gratefully took a large drink. Well, um, Im going to go, I guess. I have them both in an interrogation room. They hurt?, Feeling like his chest was constricted, Gibbs managed to neutrally respond, Theyre fine. Thank you. She mentioned the father/daughter bond she believed they shared, which had enraged him so badly he nearly threw his phone. Gibbs has been gone for months, and Tony's been doing his best to keep everything together, despite Jenny's undercover OP, despite the team's behavior, despite his own exhaustion. We dispatched two squad cars and three unmarked cars, no sirens, immediately to 26648 Royal Woods Circle. Aside from just being skilled, it was emotional and seemed to be a look at the heart of the man he loved. Thank you for a satisfying end to that episode. Ive posted my comments in the past on this piece, but I came back to it just a day or so ago because I stumbled across a few disturbing fics on FFN and AO3 that purported to address the situation but instead tried to make it a TIVA (gag! Hed left her the one message about Balboa taking over the case and to work with him and, again, not to call. However the likelihood of it blowing up in their faces was always there. He had gotten a call from his husband and needed to take it. But there has to be an investigation into a procedure breach where an agent was injured, and then a disciplinary review. Tony was staring out the window, his expression tight. They talked for another fifteen minutes, working through the risks and benefits of the different approaches before Gibbs signed the consent forms for the big ass nail-thing, as he thought of it. He was embarrassing the whole agency with the other Federal agencies. Gibbs assumed as the adrenaline waned, Tonys ability to function went with it. This also creates a unique bond with Gibbs; Tony does not know how to handle this. A few weeks after my attack, McGee was opening some anonymous mail addressed to simply NCIS agent. But, then I love all your stories! Not a word from either of you. It was perhaps after half an hour of listening to Tony bobble., She waved her hand. Anthony DiNozzo/Original Male Character(s), Major Character Death mentioned (not Tony or John), Art for Reverse Bang Story "How I Met Your Father" by penumbria, Tony's Boyfriends - You Choose Challenge. If not part of another investigation, the FBI would have purview. The treatment room he was led to had two nurses doing something with all the tubes, wires and equipment DiNozzo was hooked up to. Her names Ziva and shell be here soon and can back up my story. I dont want to attend your funeral.. Running into Robert had been nice. Hed only been out of the cast for two weeks, an event which had allowed them to move upstairs to the master bedroom, but also saw Tony frequently overdoing it and ending the day with a limp. Stuff like that. Tony had wanted the young agent on the team, had gone to bat for him, but Gibbs had been proud of how McGee had grown into the job and was happy to have him on his team. Hed been ducking Abby since hed left NCIS after the emergency call about Tony earlier, even though hed told her hed be in touch when he could and to not call him. You talk about Tony being unprofessional Maybe you should look at your unwarranted prejudice against an agent who has proven himself to just about everyone else in the damn agency; thats very professional of you., For a moment, he thought Vance might lose it, but he reined it in and instead asked, How is DiNozzo?, Gibbs, Vance snapped back. I assume you remember getting the voiceprints in Royal Woods?, Tony carefully wasnt moving. I will add the link to the art when I get it. Someone will need authorization to pull it from evidence even Abby cant access it. There was the sound of a punch and a grunt of pain. He found his way to Tonys nipple; teasing one, then the other as Tony twisted and moaned underneath him. More thumps and crashes and another yell, but sounding agonized. I know you dont really want that, and I know Tony wouldnt want that. Though Tony was in a lot of pain, he was able to articulate that different areas hurt worse; his head seemed to be the absolute worst of it. What are we looking for?. It had been after the BFF bombing when Gibbs had not only missed the back of his head and hit above his ear but also done it in public, in the lobby of a government contractor rather than in the bullpen or elevator of NCIS headquarters. Point, Tony conceded. Just stopped by for a re-read. Got nothing to do with Gibbs. They had been chasing tangos into underground tunnels that were never used, so no one knew to take biological decon treatment about the mold issue. And what if the damn thing is out when you need to go to a doctors appointment?, He quickly shot Tony a sidelong look, then asked, Why dont you tell me whats really bothering you, because youve stayed with me before and it didnt set you off like this.. Hed finally had to go home last night and get some real sleep after four nights sleeping in the recliner by Tonys bed. Most of Tonys injuries had been reduced to scarred reminders except the ongoing problem with headaches and the rehabilitation for his leg. Without replying, Gibbs left the small consult room and let Ducky take him to Tony. Get out to the car, he growled. But if thats what weve come to, then it ends here. Yeah, Duck, Ill think about it. That wasnt a terribly hard promise to make because he frequently thought about it. I wouldnt know. Yeah, that almost covers how good this is. Long time no see., Tony leaned against the door frame. Michael Weatherly leaving the series at the end of this season has bummed me out and I can only hope the writers give Tony a worthy and fitting send off.but if they dont (which they probably wont because they are idiots theyll probably bring back she who will not be named and have them ride off into the sunset together, Arrgggg I dont want to even think about it.the horror LOL ). Summary: Tony has had many lovers over the years but only one became his husband. But I made sure that the civil suits by the families of the dead and injured were fast tracked. I feel I could write endless variations on Dead Air but this was definitely my ode to Tony/Gibbs getting together around those shenanigans. And girl, did you deliver. I know you thought you were backing up your partner, he had a hard time not sneering through that, but you should have shut up and cooperated., He took a sip of his coffee, which was almost gone, then leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest. Gibbs understood it, but he didnt like it. Theyre operating on his leg now. Yeah. He had no plans to be anywhere else. Now sit on the goddamn floor!. Last Gibbs had heard, McGee had obtained a job with a software company and had moved to North Carolina. Tony nodded, but Gibbs could see the insecurity and the hope warring with each other. However, his own situation was clearly precarious. Jethro, Ill take Mr. Palmer for a cup of tea and give you some time alone with Anthony.. He stayed with me through my recovery and I was offered a job with his project. After dressing and changing the sheets, Gibbs finally made his way downstairs, happy to hear the chatter between Tony and his dad. She was quietly retired for medical reasons and new blood from outside the agency was brought in and brought the entire thing into a new era, without the good old boy networking and corruption that had been so prevalent before. Do not give Balboa grief for taking over this case, and Id strongly advise you to stay out of the screw-up that David and McGee have created for themselves.. Another weight hit his arm and it broke. I Ive been gone on you practically since we met. Gibbs would never let that happen. Ill just sit here, man, the second guy, and only one living, replied. The very first visiting hours I havent been here and you happen to show up?, She jumped. Nor did he have time for a serious new apartment hunt. As soon as it was answered, he bluntly asked, How is he?, Hello, Jethro, Ducky responded politely. Plus all the flashing lights. Though Id like more, boyfriends, lovers, significant others, whatever youd want to call it. Ill admit it took me a bit to ask him, but once I did, I agreed that the onus was on McGee to step up, not on Tony or me to hold his damn hand. Gibbs had come close to losing Tony after the Domino fiasco, but when he confronted Tony about it later, the reasons actually went back to the mess while he was in Mexico and after his return. Gibbs theorized this was when Tony broke his leg. In a world where NCIS, Stargate SG-1, and The Sentinel coexist with the MCU, the consequences of the battle for the Triskelion (as seen in Captain America: The Winter Soldier) are deadly for more than just SHIELD and HYDRA agents. Gibbs let them listen through every request for help, and stopped the playback just after Tony dazedly begged his friend to find his partners and make sure they were okay. That wasnt all hed done. She changes them just as much as they change her. Frankly, its a mark of shitty observation skills that people think Tony is inept with computers yet he manages to pull his weight on the standard investigative tasks like searches and background checks, plus does all his SFA paperwork and frankly half of my paperwork on his own time, and yet barely puts in more hours than either of the other two., Chewing a new toothpick, Vance scowled. Content Rating: Mature She was exactly the kind of person who would feel perfectly justified ruining his life and career by showing that fake to people. Why do you want me around? Tony asked cautiously. Gibbs offered a nod to the SFA, who returned it tightly. Atta boy, Tony, Gibbs said even as several people entered the room to take Tony off to surgery. McGees emotions were plain to see; he was horrified. Well, we needed a place to put your big TV, Gibbs replied blandly. Thank you for writing and sharing this story. Gibbs pulled up in front of his house, which was a fairly short distance from the hospital, since Gibbs actually lived in Alexandria. Not that his team isnt good, but Id think with a domestic terrorist, Vance would want his A-team on the case., Abby! Gibbs nearly hollered. At the door to Tonys room, he peered in through the window and found Abby perched on the chair Gibbs usually occupied, which put her back to the door something Gibbs wasnt fond of himself, but he wasnt prepared to sit on Tonys bad side. His lack of trust and dislike of other agencies or departments getting involved in his cases had translated to some degree into her disdain. Id like to know what happened, Boss. He sort of doubted theyd last long enough to get seriously cold. Can you log the entire recording into evidence but get her a version without Tonys attack so she can start running her comparisons right away? Gibbs knew it was doable, but considering he was crap with technology he didnt know if it could be done quickly enough to not compromise the MaH case. Wonderful! He had threatened plenty but he would never really show it around. Will Tony come out on top? The junior agents were both focused on the case, but spared Gibbs a glance, one looking more intimidated than the other. Tony gave a little moan and his lips parted. Now he was ducking Vance, too. Lieutenant Faber, the man Tony called for backup, had them both detained, but released them to me without charges. You are a rockstar! Howd he come out alive after going toe to toe with a Kidon assassin? Thanks! Its all gonna come out sooner or later, but until you hear it from another official source, no one outside the two of you., Got it. he kicks gibbs ass like a boss and you cant even get mad at him. But eventually she took the seat when she found no give in Gibbs expression or demeanor. Just because the locals arent going to follow up on the issue doesnt mean NCIS is going to let it slide. He leaned forward and braced his elbows on the table. Well, I can certainly understand your point, and I agree with you, but the Director is only stating fact when he says the matter may be out of his hands., Gibbs shot Ducky a baleful look, but decided to change the subject. I will remain for another hour or so, but then must be going. It was great, relaxing and surprisingly informative., Cool. It tormented the well known peace activist for the rest of her short life. Even though Tony!whump is to some extent canonical. But, no I havent confronted them yet. Theyre keeping an eye on the head situation.. RN Registered Nurse You know the DEA is going to request the full undoctored file, yeah?, I know. Why? But they were also the marker of the new turn his life had taken; a much better turn. Tonys legs wrapped tight around his waist again. They werent really safe - in many definitions of the word - almost getting caught several times but when senior year began again and the majority of the school returned from their summer breaks - which Tony never went on and which Mason did but he lived a few miles from campus so it didnt matter - they agreed to stop and move on with no hard feelings. He would easily admit he wanted Tonys piano in the house. Just lucky., Okay, well, Agent DiNozzo really, really needs to get where he was going. Will Gibbs finally see what he should have seen from the start? Keep in touch, take a break during the transition. No, Abby. The last thing he expects is to encounter a poor, sickly spirit animal and, while doing the right thing and taking care of her, come across his Sentinel. Though Gibbs new from personal experience that head wounds bled like a bitch. Equipment malfunction? Vance asked hopefully. I really enjoy your work. Plundering Tonys mouth, he slid completely on top of his lover, always gratified with the way Tonys body accepted him, legs parting swiftly and wrapping around Gibbs hips. They may have to operate on his head if the swelling doesnt go down., Legs bad enough to require surgery? When youre ready, well talk about it, okay? Acronyms: He pressed a chaste kiss to Tonys mouth while running his thumbs along Tonys cheekbones. None. The older man wasnt getting the point that she didnt want to go out with him and was chasing her with all of his Scottish charm on full display. Im listening., Gibbs tossed the flash drive on Vances desk. Gibbs couldnt stop himself from pressing his tongue forward, tangling it with Tonys, and exploring the mouth hed been fantasizing about for nearly a decade. If it did, it was something else to lay at David and McGees feet. I appreciate it.. Probably was the truth that he was sleeping with her. Wish I understood what was going on but maybe someday, huh., Tony and Axelrod shared a look and Tony smiled with a grimace. So he gave Tony a ride and I wasnt reamed out by Gibbs for not doing what I was supposed to be doing. Gibbs nodded in a way he hoped was reassuring, and Tony shifted his attention to Ducky, who was attempting to ply him with water. And that aint all that was being said either. The DEA has the case, and they determined the guy who recognized you was from Philly. McGee had left an open request to talk to Tony when he was ready. And if you did say yes to that, you wouldnt be my dirty little secret. Tony would normally manage just fine with crutches, but with his shoulder injury, it wasnt a possibility. They wouldnt do that., They did do that, Gibbs snapped. As for the other issues McGee and David have been suspended without pay. Literally. This is the story of her life, her love, and her recovery. Will you be back before then in order to attend the consult?. Forcing back the seething frustration, he listened to what he needed to fill out and what he was consenting to in terms of DiNozzos treatment. As he savored the caffeine hit, he heard a couple of junior agents come in, talking. What else is in his file that I havent read? Vance prompted. ME Medical Examiner Regardless, his gut said Balboas team was on the right track and he felt comfortable in his choice to hand the case off. The knife missed the swinging arm, Tonys blurry vision causing him to swing too high. When he finally pulled back, he was so tempted to go back in for more, and to ravage that long neck, but he knew they needed time. Going toe to toe with a Kidon assassin hours I havent read stress...
