Part 4 of the four-part series "What You Do for Family", based on Gibbs' Unwritten Rule: "You do what you do for family."

"
This story will crossover with The X-Men, Sailormoon, and Harry Potter. There will also be refences to characters from "NCIS:
Los Angeles", and "NCIS: New Orleans" None of the franchised-characters are mine.

The NCIS-franchise belongs to writer-director David Bellisario.

The X-Men universe belongs to Marvel comics and writer Stan Lee.

Sailormoon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi.

And the Harry Potter books come from the mind of J.K. Rawling.

Only the idea to combine them in this way is mine.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs had never felf so empty, and helpless, in his life! Or, scared.

Very scared.

It did not help matters the he was on a table in autopsy.

Or, that his table was surrounded by a ring of ghosts. Now, it was stangely-comforting to the Marine that the ghosts were those of friends and family! But? For the most-part, they were staying silent, like a ring of vultures waiting for the Dinner-Bell to ring!

'How did I get here?' Jethro thought. He tried to speak, but - like almost the rest of him body - the Marine's tongue and mouth refused to obey him and move. His eyes seemed to move, but they were starngely dilated.

"Don't Fight it, Dad! Not yet." Kelly Gibbs told her father. "Save Your strength. Please?"

'Kelly?' Gibbs asked his daughter's ghost once his mind cleared enough to work. 'What happened? I remember.. getting shot? Am I dead?'

"No, Jethro," Shannon Gibbs sadly smiled. "Unfortunely, you're not alive, either."

"Do what your little girl says, Probie!" Frank Franks gruff voice cut through Autopsy. "If ya try to fight what's happened to ya, now? You'll have no strength to fight whoever caused this mess, later!"

'I don't even know who could've pulled this off!' Gibbs almost whined. 'Damned bullet didn't even hit anything vital! Almost like it was an ... oh, shit!'

'Our thoughts, exactly, Gunnery-Sargeant1' The Ghost of Owen Granger intoned. "Why your daughter contected Kate and Usagi. And? Why I contacted Hermoine. I'm sure she let Draco and Harry know."

Jethro Gibbs weakly giggled at this. This was still a serious-time, and he didn't know exactly who was involved, or how they were? But? His team would know in time, and, be kept safe while they learned! He just hope the newbies to the heam could work with mutants, sailorsenshi, and witches.

"I glad to hear your spirit chuckle, Gibbs!" Abbie Schiutto - birth-name, "Ollivander" - announced as she came into Autopsy. "Even if it is just a weak laugh. Jimmy! We have trouble!"

"What kind of trouble - ?" The medical-examiner asked.

"The kind where we scream for help, Dr. Palmer, as loud and long as we can!" Abbie said. "I pulled every test on that bullet that can be done, forensically! Accordly to every test? It's nothing but s regular.. .50-caliber bullet! If it had hit a vital-area, it would have killed Gibbs! No question! But..?"

"But, it only went into his leg." Jimmy said.

"Right!" Abbie answered. "Something is .. hinky .. about that bullet! I kept feeling it, so, I gave it the Ollivander-treatment! I was not the best-trained witch, Jimmy! But? I trust my gut, amf I know enough to try to analyze what I feel. So? I toook out my wand, to - like - focus my abiliies, and examined that bullet, again. And? I found auras. Magical Auras. They BATHED that bastard!"

"I take it you weren't able to narrow-down who's they were?" Palmer asked as he stared at the bullet.

"Not all of them, Jimmy!" Abbie said. "Not totally. But? I lived in Britain long enough to recognize auras from Hogwarts! Dad has always said Hogwarts' aura mixes with whoever is taught, there! The longer you're there..."

"The more it permeates you. Like smoke." Palmer sighed. "That, I understand! Were Hogwarts' auras the only ones you felt, Abbie?"

"Unfortunately, no." The Forensic-Scientist moped. "Also, unfortunely? Them? I recognized! At least. in general. We've had experiences with them!"

"'We had experiences with..'?" Jimmy slowly repeated the Forensics-Technician. Then, he sighed. "Let me guess. The demons that found housing in certain X-Men?"

"Yep. 'A' for the Examiner!" Abbie stood straight. "And, for extra-credit?"

"A Sailorsenshi?" Palmer asked rhetorically.

"Try two of the bitches!"

"Ouch." Palmer softly whined. "Forgot that Neptune decided to not await her execution-date."

"Well?" Abbie replied. "At least, she saved the government the expence of a lethal-injection."

"I'll have to ask for the finding from the M.E. in Terra-Haute." Dr. Palmer said. "I'd love to know exactly how she cheated the
Hangman. But, I can guess why? Neptune mever struck me as the type to admit to any failures! Amd ? Having witnesses to her execution, particularly Sailorsenshi and NCIS, would have seemed like an admitted-failure to her!"

'Jackass narcissist.' Gibbs thought with a weak chuckle.

"'Little Miss Perfect'!" Abbie sighed. "Complete Narcissist. Amd? As much a control-freak as Pluto!"

As the Medical Examiner and Forensics Tech were discussing their latest case, seven young women were making thrir way through
the NCIS-Bullpen.

"Pardon me!" The brunette of the septet with the dragon across her shoulders spoke up. "We're here to see Dirctor Leon Vance?
About Gunnery-Sargeant Leroy Jethro Gibbs?"

Agent Clayton Reeves, MI6-Liaison with NCIS, looked up from his desk:

"Yes, ma'am! I'll see if the Director is... available? Shadowcat? Wolfsbane?"

"We'ce been made. Kathryn!" Rahne grinned. "Recognize the accent! Oxford?"

"Been working to lose it!" Clayton grinned back. "MI6, formerly! Now, with NCIS! I remember hearing of you when you were still
in Scotland, with Excalibur!"

"Aye! That's us!" Rahne smiled, then lost that smile. "We're here about Agent Gibbs? How is he?"

"We're not too sure, Ms. Sinclaire!" Director Vance said from the catwalk. "I'm hoping.. now that you're here.. you might be able to help us figure out that puzzle! Especially, after Miss Sciutto annouced Jethro wasn't 'quite ready to be autopsied, yet'. Her words."

"Definitely something.. 'hinky', here.. as Abbie would say." Pixie spoke up.

"Quite." Agent Reeves replied, then looked up to see who just spoke. "Ah! Megan Gwynn! The Pixie! Heard that Washington has an open-file of your sisters and yourself!"

"That they do, Agent Reeves!" Megan answered. "For whenever things get so murky, even CIA can't handle things!"

"When CAN Central Intelligence handle anything?" Tim McGee groused.

"Yeah." Kathryn softly answered, a bit hesitantly. "Tony.. told us about what happened in a letter. How.. Ziva was called back to Israel as a witness. And of the hit. He wrote us that you were able to track the hit-squad's payment to a CIA-Agent, a Trent Kort? We were able to look him up. Damned rogue-agent! Tony gave him the justice he deserved."

"Yeah..." Tim suddenly was brought back to reality by Kate's voice. "Oh?! Hello, ladies! I take it you're here about Gibbs?"

"You heard right, Agent McGee." Sharon Smyth, alias Catseye, answered. "How long ago was the deed done?"

"Going on three days ago!" McGee answered. "When did you here about it?"

"Two nights ago!" Illyanna Rasputina answered. "Kathryn awoke from a dream! Said Kelly had said that Agent Gibbs had been shot. And was somewhere near death. I scried to learn what I could of the matter. And we asked Lieutenant Pride for permission to leave Louisiana."

"Dwayne let me know you'd be caming this way about 15 minutes ago!" Leon spoke from the door of his office.

"'Kelly'?" Clayton asked. "Who's 'Kelly'?"

"Gibbs' daughter!" Leon said. "She and her mother were murdered before Gibbs became a CIS-Agent. While he was still a part of 'Desert Storm'. I'm telling you this, Agent Reeves, to prepare you for meeting any more of Gibbs' family!"

"Meaning, Director?" Clayton looked up and asked Leon.

"Meaning", Eleanor Bishop answered for the Director, "if Kelly Gibbs reached out to touch Kathryn? She probably reached out to others!"

"And, we'll probably need the help just to identify all our Bogeys." Vance sighed. "Gibbs was right. Where his cousins go, trouble soon follows."

"This time, Director Vance?" Jubilation Lee corrected Leon. "It's the other way around! Trouble came to NCIS..."

"And We followed!" Illyanna Rasputina answered, as Danielle Moomnstar nodded solemnly.

"Leon?" Kathryn asked "My cousin still down in Autopsy?"

"Seemed the best place to keep him, Miss Pryde!" Vance modded.

"Thank you, Director." Kathryn nodded back. "Come on, Illyanna! Let's see if we cam't find out anything, helpful."

Soon, Kathryn's Posse was in Autopsy with Jimmy and Abbie.

"So.. we heard right from Draco!" Kathryn chuckled low. "You did reveal that you were maical, didn't you, Abbie?"

"Well?" Abbie shrugged her shoulders, "'Magical'? Yes! 'Witch'? Not according to Hogwarts!"

"Yeah, well?" Kat said, "'Screw Hogwarts!' And, that came - ver batim - from Draco Malfoy, himself!"

"So! You been keeping up with your cousins?" Abbie asked.

"As much as the Navy and FBI allow me to!" Kathryn said. "Which is, pretty much, whenever we have free-time!"

She looked over at Jethro's gurney at Lockheed's sigh. "They're keeping a protective-ring! But? Any with that protection,
Jethro's scared. And frustrated. He's been dead, before. Clinically dead. That, he can handle. But? This is new! Too new"

Kate turned back to look to Illyanna. "Well, partner? Let's see if we can't figure out our part of this puzzle?"

Within five minutes, Kathryb, Abbie, and Illyanna were examining the bullet that had hit Gibbs.

"Well, Boss-lady?" Illyanna looked at Kathryn. "I got bad news. Amd, I got terrible news!"

"That seems to be the way this days is going, 'Yanna!" Kathryn sighed. "Give me the bad news, first."

"I don't know the aura that they attached to." Illyanna said, apologetically. "But? The blood-sucking leeches in
question are DEFINITELY demonic! And three of them are TOO-familiar to mistake for -anyone else: The ghouls that USED
to be Xi'an Coyh Manh, Ororo Monroe, and Poitr Nikoleavich Rasputin."

"Damn, damn, and damn!" Kathyn swore under her breath. "Anything else you can definitely tell me, Illyanna?"

"Only that there are two more leech-auras bathing this bullet!" Illyanna answered. "I never met them, before. But? They
are both Oriental, both are female, and one is INCREDABLY old!"

"And, We've run into them, both, before," Abbie volunteered. "here. On-grounds."

Kate then sucked-in a breath to try to calm herself:

"On-grounds. Yeah. Right. Okay, Illyanna?" She whispered. "What's the terrible news?"

"Bindingd this strong? Can only work if the demons, or the demon-possessed, are alive."

"Son-of-a-BITCH!" Kathryn whined, putting her face in her hands. "This is fucking NOT what Usagi needs to deal with!"

Meanwhile, the trapped-spirit of Leroy Jethro Gibbs sighed. 'Oh, yeah. Somebody's pissed.' Then, he giggled.
