"Agent Dinozzo, so glad you could come. Please take a seat."

Both agents from different organizations sit at the desk. facing each other.

" now I understand you guys aren't usually naval bodyguards but this asset is VIP level."

a Manila folder with the S.H.I.E.L.D eagle on the cover is handed over. inside the Avengers logo and a heavily redacted file on Bruce Banner is found. this file has nothing from his past and nothing about hulk.

Agent Tony Dinizzo looks at the file and then up to to the suit in front of him. its the first time this organization has asked for NCIS help.

"I don't think we'll be needing that, why don't you tell me more about this Dr. Banner?"

he says somewhat nonchalantly. the suit replies

" you have enough clearance to know he's an Avenger but not who. We have redacted anything that will tell you who. Only two things you have to know. Keep him calm at all costs, if for some reason guns are used Do not let him get shot. And he is not comfortable around any military people except me and those on his team. The ship is a SHIELD vessel owned by the VIP with an AI installed. One that doesn't answer to many. Good luck. I'm the teams handler and I tell you he's a hard one to stop once he's started."

well that last part wasn't cryptic at all, thought Dinizzo. he listens as the suit continues

"Oh I think you'll find this AI helpful. He's Stark's. And you don't have the clearance for anymore. Unless he tells you the redacted stuff, you'll have to find out yourself. Your quinjet leaves in thirty. Be prepared." a small pause and the agent, with a frown, continues

"and see to it that you do you best. The routes the vessel will be travelling has had an increase in piracy, and the vip's main enemy made in his hero career also plans an attack. Bruce knows the former. Does not like the latter. If asked your presence. Just say that fiancée asked handler for anymore extra protection. Do not mention the possibity of an attack. Advisory's name is Ross. Mention thus and your most important job will end up being all the more difficult"

Agent Phil Coulson regards the ncis agent as he speaks. ' I sure hope he reacts like Stark did when he finds out.' his thoughts are interrupted when the agent replies.

"Increase in priacy, Don't like the latter, okay, I've got it. Need I bring anyone else along?"

to which the hasty reply is

"Don't worry if the AI calls a code GREEN, we will send people along. though you may bring in backup if you must bearing in mind asset is the equivalent of the president in importance, whoever you bring in must be told everything I Just told you. dismissed."

Tony nods in comprehension and gets up, thinking 'Perhaps I should bring Ziva just in case, or would that frighten the guy a little too much? And what would it mean by Code Green? better find out.' before leaving to prepare.

almost as if he'd read the other agents mind, Coulson calls out to him as he leaves

"if you have a woman on your team it might help. Have Jarvis call me if you need help. "

" will do" comes the cheery reply

exiting, Tony ponders which female to take thinking 'Thinking, 'Maybe Abby better go. Ah what the heck, I'll take Ziva and Mcgeek then keep in contact with Abby"
