Reboot
It was a sea of black. An ocean of regretful whispers. A bath of tragic tears. And a million other metaphors for a day when everyone who had ever crossed the right side of the path with Leroy Jethro Gibbs gathered to mourn the loss of a great agent and an even better boss. Everyone that is besides Anthony DiNozzo and Ziva David. Of course it had been 25 years since the 'most compatible' team of NCIS had been a team and many long years since they had physically seen each other again. The visits soon dwindled as did exchanging emails until they were left with only Christmas cards and birthday cards when they remembered.
Now, two black-clad newlywed figures stood to the side of the crowd, "I would have thought they'd turn up, especially Tony - Gibbs meant a lot to him," the woman whispered to her husband before altering her naturally black hair to cover the spider web tattoo that stretched around her neck.
"Maybe they couldn't bring themselves to or maybe they're out of the country?" her husband replied hopefully yet quietly.
She turned back and lowered her umbrella, "I wonder if they know, wherever they are."
"They're close."
The two figures turned round sharply to meet the intruding voice. It was a girl in her mid teens but had a face that looked older than she was - sun kissed skin that brought out her piercing green eyes. She wore black skirt to the knee with a blazer and smart heels. Her face was framed with brown naturally highlighted hair that cascaded down her shoulders in curls, "from the stories I must assume that you are miss Abigail Sciuto so therefore you must be Timothy McGoo?"
The husband leant in closer, "er, McGee actually," he corrected.
The young girl politely hid a laugh behind her hand (normally she would have thrown her head back and laughed for hours but that wasn't appropriate at a funeral), "Yes, I know."
"So," Abby started, utterly confused by this girl, "Who are you?"
"You can't tell?" the girl rolled her eyes at the two adults, "Maybe if I threw out a few movie quotes whilst throwing a few knives around it would help?" she said jesturing with her hands.
Abby and McGee now looked very concerned but were beginning to understand. The girl just held out her hand and stated, "Hello, I'm Savannah DiNozzo."
