My first NCIS story in far far too long...who knew being ill could throw you this much? Still trying to get my head back into PND, but it's taking its own sweet time. I finally decided to try the random pairing generator to kickstart my muse again - I think it worked. Will be added to as I get stuff done :)

Prompt - Leroy Jethro Gibbs / Jeanne Benoit / here first
"I don't care who you think you are," Jeanne glared at Gibbs. Her words were pronounced, as if she was weighing every one before she said it, "but that is my boyfriend in there. And right now, he's my patient. So you don't get to just waltz in here and demand to see him."
Gibbs felt Ziva stiffen next to him as she prepared to pounce on the Doctor who stood between them and the door to Tony's room. Tony and McGee had been undercover in a dodgy bar on the other side of town and when their suspect had noticed he was being followed, he'd kicked off a bar fight. Tony's usual luck had held out, and once again he'd been knocked unconscious while Gibbs shouted uselessly down his cell.
However, this time it was a little more serious and Tony required stitches. Apparently he also had a pretty severe concussion – not that the Doctor had told them anything. If it wasn't for the fact McGee was playing Tony's brother, Dr Benoit would have kept them in the dark. Both men had had fake IDs on them, so McGee kept up the act of Tim and Tony DiNardo while the barman had called for an ambulance. He didn't think the regulars would take too well to being infiltrated by a pair of cops.
Gibbs focused his glare on the woman before him, feeling no remorse when she shrunk back ever so slightly. He was in no mood for interfering doctors when one of his agents was hurt. Abby was the only one who said it out loud, but the team really were a family. And when one of his kids got hurt on his watch, Gibbs felt like he was failing in his duty as a father. "Look, Doctor what–"
"No. You listen to me Special Agent Gibbs," Jeanne retorted, her voice laced with sarcasm, "Tony has nothing to do with the Navy. And from what I can make out, there were no marines in that bar. You have no need to question him."
She folded her arms across her chest in one final act of defiance. Everything about her posture screamed mine. She didn't say it, but Gibbs and Ziva got her message loud and clear. I was here first.
Deciding he had played by her rules long enough, Gibbs decided to do things his way. Jen was going to kill him when she found out that he'd completely blown the undercover operation she didn't think he knew about, but it couldn't be helped. It was this, or Ziva made Tony's girlfriend disappear.
Smirking, Gibb s reached around Jeanne and swung Tony's door open. Ignoring Jeanne's indignant protests, Gibbs stormed past her and boomed, "DiNozzo, what the hell do you think you were doing?"
"It wasn't my fault, Boss."
No, Doctor, you weren't here first.
