A/N: I have no clue why I keep rewriting this fanfic, but I do.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own NCIS! I only own Katja Falkenrath, Clara Lupei, and Aurora Valentina! Along with Bianca and Michael McCallum!


"Listen up," Gibbs' smooth voice broke the silence.

"What is it, Boss?" DiNozzo asked, voicing McGee's and Kate 's unspoken question.

"A new agent should be arriving soon," was his reply.

Just as he said that, the elevator doors opened and an extremely beautiful woman stepped out. Deep amber eyes studied each of the four NCIS agents.

McGee was captivated by her beauty. When she walked, he could have sworn that she was gliding across the floor. He looked to DiNozzo only to notice he was staring but not noticing the way she walked. Then to Kate , but she just went back to her work. Then, lastly to Gibbs. McGee could have swore that he saw a grin on his face for a fraction of a second before it left; leaving his face void of emotion. The silver-haired man walked over to the young blonde agent and held his hand out for her to shake. She accepted the gesture.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you," She told him with a smile on her face. "I've heard so many wonderful things about you, Agent Gibbs."

Her voice had a slight Italian accent.

"The same goes for you, Agent Valentina," He responded as she dropped her hand back to her side. "But please, call me Gibbs."

"And I would prefer it if you called me Aurora," She told him, the smile on her face never faltering.

"Very well, Aurora," Gibbs replied, his face the same as always. "But, come on. Let me introduce you to the rest of the team."

She nodded before Gibbs turned and walked to the bullpen. She followed nervously as the other three agents stood up and walked to stand in front of their desks.

"DiNozzo."

"Kate Todd."

"Tim McGee."

"As you may know, I am Aurora Valentina," She told them. "Born in Rome Italy, lived there until I was eight, moved here to DC, enlisted in the Marines for seven years and here I am six months later."

She motioned to the bullpen with a smile on her face.

Before she could say anything else, Gibbs' phone rang.

"Gibbs."

He sighed inaudibly, but Aurora heard it. Her hearing was extremely sensitive, after all.

"You guys get acquainted while I go talk to Abby," The Team Leader told them before placing his phone in his pocket.

Gibbs turned on his heels and walked to the elevator before stepping on as the doors opened.

DiNozzo turned his attention to Aurora before walking up to her.

"Well, well, what's a pretty woman such as yourself doing in the Marines?"

The blonde's eyes darted to Tony, "If you keep this up, you will loose a limb."

"My, my, feisty aren't we?" DiNozzo asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I wouldn't advise angering me, Agent DiNozzo," The blonde told him, her voice cold as ice.

As she gave him the warning, the young American-Italian agent could have swore that he saw her incisors grow. Longer than any humans' would normally be.

She strode over to McGee and DiNozzo finally noticed she was wearing all black. Slacks, long-sleeved shirt, and hiking boots.

"Buongiorno," the blonde said to McGee as she sat on the edge of his desk.

"Huh? Sorry Aurora, but I don't speak Italian," the young man told her, looking into her deep amber orbs.

"Don't worry about it," She told him with a smile on her face. "It just means good morning."

"Well, then good morning to you too," McGee told her with a smile on his face.

"When you guys are done flirting, just let me know," the dark haired woman told the Italian agent and the MIT graduate before going back to her work and zoning them out completely.

"Don't be like that, Kate ," DiNozzo chided as he took his seat at his desk.

"Why don't we let you meet Abby and Ducky?" McGee asked, looking to Aurora's eyes to see her reaction.

"Sure." Was her reply. "Why not?"

With that, both her and McGee stood up and walked to the elevator. The doors opened and the two stepped in.

McGee pressed the button that would take them to their destination.

"So… What made you decide to be in the Marines?" McGee asked, looking to his teammate with a smile on his face.

"My mother was one of those that never gave up," She replied with a sad smile as she looked to the ceiling. "And my father was a ship's captain. But what I think it was that made me decide to be in the Marines was the fact that I wanted to fight for and defend my home."

She turned to look into his eyes. But she saw something that she hadn't saw in a long time. Care.

As she turned back to face the doors, they opened. The two Special Agents stepped off before the brown haired man led her to a room that smelled of death. The scent got stronger as the pair neared the Autopsy Room.

Aurora wrinkled her nose in disgust as the doors opened; the smell of death hitting her head on.

"Ducky," McGee called out, causing the ME to turn to the pair.

"Timothy?" The older man asked as he looked to the pair. "Who is this?"

"This is our new agent," The younger man told him with a smile. "Her name is Aurora Valentina."

"A nice name," The man, Ducky, told her smiling gently. "May I ask where you were born?"

"You may," she answered with a grin. "Rome, Italy."

"Italy, interesting," He mused, mostly to himself, before going back to the dead body on the autopsy table.

Aurora turned to McGee to whisper in his ea, "Can we go ahead to Abby's lab? The smell is too much for me right now."

"No problem, Aurora," He responded, grinning as he looked into her eyes.

Aurora turned to leave with McGee following behind.

As soon as the two were in the hall, Gibbs walked up to them.

"Aurora."

"Yes, Gibbs?" She asked, trying to remain calm.

"When you were in the Marines; what was your rank and MOS?"

"I was a Marksman Instructor and my rank was Master Gunnery Sergeant," She replied, confused. "Why?"

"Sergeants Misty and Caitlinn Harris are up in Director Shepherd's office with Lieutenant Lupei," The silver-haired man told her. "Says its important."

"Wait, Clara Lupei?" Aurora asked, confusion evident on her face.

"Yeah? Why?" Gibbs asked her, looking at her like she was crazy.

"Great," She ran her hand through her blonde locks. "Katja is going to kill me."

"Who?" McGee asked, finally having enough of being out of the loop.

"Captain Falkenrath," She clarified.

"Why would Captain Falkenrath kill you?" Gibbs asked, ready to arrest Katja.

"It's just a saying, Gibbs," She replied, sighing. "Might as well call her in as well. Either way I might as well go on to Director Shepherd's office. Wish me luck."

With that, she walked off. McGee was just standing there, watching her walk away.

"What are you waiting for, McGee? Follow her," Gibbs told him before heading into Ducky's lab.
