Awakenings

A/N: Okay, my first NCIS fic! This is crossed with a fictional story I wrote called 'ThePhoenix Queen' All things NCIS are not mine, but Kaileena and other origional characters are mine. I would love some helpful reviews, cause I'm not positive where this story will end up. No specific pairings, just a team fic, so enjoy!

Awakenings

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo entered the bullpen, coffee in hand. Nodding to his coworkers, he set the coffee cup down in front of his boss.

"What do you want, Tony?" asked the silver haired agent.

"Now I can't get my boss coffee just because it's early?" Tony asked, flashing his trademark gotta-love-me-smile. Gibbs looked up at Tony, his piercing blue eyes boring into Tony's brown ones. Tony's grin faltered.

"I just wanna get out of here early. I've got a big date and I want to get a shower beforehand." Tony replied.

"If you get your paperwork done." Gibbs replied. Tony turned and went to his desk, powering up his computer. The next few hours were spent in relative silence, the occasional paperclip being thrown between Tony and Ziva. At one point, she looked up and stared at Tony a little oddly.

"Tony, when is the last time you had a haircut? You are looking shaggier than normal." Ziva said. Tony looked up at her, and ran a hand through his unusually scruffy hair.

"I guess it's about time for another haircut." He said, his tone slight annoyance, slight resignation. He knew it was about time for his hair to grow faster, but it still bothered him. Just then, his phone rang. Gibbs looked up and watched his senior agents face as he answered the phone.

"DiNozzo. Hey, Kai, how've you been? Wait, slow down. You what? Where? You did the right thing. Call his CO, explain the situation as best you can, and I'll be there as soon as I can." Tony hung up and stood, heading for Gibbs' desk.

"Is everything okay, DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked. Tony looked a little worried.

"Family emergency. I've got to go. I'll be back as soon as possible." Tony said.

"Tony, your only family is your father who disowned you fifteen years ago."

"Gibbs please. I can't explain any farther than that. Not because I don't want to, but because I'm not allowed. Please don't ask me to." Gibbs was taken aback by Tony's pleas. He had never known the agent to beg like that.

"Okay Tony. If you need anything, you know you can call me." He said.

"Thanks, boss." Tony said, and rushed over to his desk, grabbing his stuff and heading for the elevator. After he was gone, Gibbs got up and headed for the rear elevator, his mind intent on finding Abbey.

Gibbs braced himself for Abbey's earsplitting music when the lab doors opened, and was met with jazz. Gibbs stepped in carefully, curiously wondering what caused the change in mood for Abbey. He found her in her office, scrutinizing a doll.

"Abbs, did you know that Tony had more family than his dad?" Gibbs asked. Abbey looked up and grinned.

"Hi Gibbs! Tony has family?" Abbey asked, just a little too quickly, even for Abbey. Gibbs glared at her. Even Abbey couldn't hold up under the Gibbs stare, and she quickly shriveled.

"Did you get a name?" she asked, hoping to avoid the big questions.

"He was talking to someone named Kai on the phone, then he left. Said it was a family emergency." Gibbs said. Abbey's eyes widened.

"Kai!? She's in town?" Abbey exclaimed.

"Yeah, and they were talking about someone in the military. Tony told Kai to call his CO. What do you know that I don't?" he demanded.

"Gibbs, that's Tony's personal business. I don't know if I should be talking about this."

"Abbey, this team is more than a team. We are a family, and families tell each other when something is bothering us." Gibbs said. Abbey looked at him, and sighed.

"You're right. Kai is not exactly family to Tony, she is called a Watcher. She is supposed to keep the peace among the clans. For the past year, she has had another job. She is royalty now. She must have called Tony to help her with one of Tony's clan mates since she can't exactly control what's happening."

"Abbey, what's going on? What clan, what royalty?"

"Before I tell you, you have to swear that you will keep these secrets."

"Okay, I promise."

"Gibbs, I want you to swear on Kelly." Abbey said, her eyes deadly serious.

"I swear on Kelly, I will keep these secrets." Gibbs said solemnly. He knew in his gut that what Abbey was about to tell him would change his team forever.

"Tony is a werewolf, and Kai is Lady Kaileena, the Phoenix Queen."

A/N: Well, how will Gibbs handle this? Reviews will speed the update process! C'mon, you know you want to push the little button!
