This story is a part of my NCIS/GH Crossover Series. It takes place before Forced Vacation (crossover), Some Vacation (NCIS), A visit (GH). This story will also be posted 3 times. NCIS, GH and as a Crossover.

Michael was never in a coma, he is 16. Morgan is 10.

Tony walks into the bullpen ready to work. Hopefully they catch a break in the case.

"Gear up. We got word that Seamen Johnson is in the warehouses at the dock." Gibbs ordered.

The team arrives at the dock and split up looking for their potential suspect. Tony finds him first. Seamen Johnson fires at Tony before getting into the car. Tony ducked behind some crates as Seamen Johnson fired his gun. He took off after the car without calling out to the others or waiting for backup. Tony caught up with the car and reached in through the open window to grab the starring wheel. The car started swerving as Tony was barely hanging on to the wheel.

Gibbs, McGee and Ziva came running just in time to see the car crash into a wall of crates. The crates fall on top of Tony and the car.

"TONY!" Gibbs yelled rushing to the crates.

Ziva and Tim followed and helped Gibbs pull the crates off of Tony. After about 5 minutes they manage to unbury Tony. Seamen Johnson was still in the car, dead on impact. Tony just laid there unconscious.

Tim was immediately on the phone to call for an ambulance and Ducky.

Tony woke up in the ambulance on the way to Bethesda.

"Did we get him?"

Gibbs couldn't believe this guy. He pulls the most insane not to mention stupid and dangerous stunt that could have gotten him killed and he is more concerned with whether or not they got him.

"Seamen Johnson is dead. He died when the car crashed."

"I-I killed him. I-I only try to stop him from getting away." Tony stuttered.

"Sir, you need to calm down." The paramedic advised.

"Wait, where am I?"

"In an ambulance. We are on our way to Bethesda." The paramedic answered.

"I don't need any hospital." Tony argued.

Gibbs got up in Tony's face and gave him a glare warning him to stop arguing, he was going to the hospital anyway. Tony immediately stopped, he knows how to read Gibbs and he also knows he is in for one hell of a lecture. He also knows that if Gibbs tells his uncle about this stunt the lectures will never end.

Tony sat on the bed in the emergency room. No internal bleeding so he wasn't going to be admitted. He had broken his arm in 2 places and is just waiting for the doctor to set it. Gibbs hadn't left his side the entire time. Internally, he was grateful for that. All the times his father put him in the hospital, he had to handle it all alone. After Tony started playing football at military school, he twisted his ankle. He called his uncle to let him know not to come up for the weekend because he was staying in the barracks. He was shocked when Sonny and Jason showed up at the academy.

"You are good to go. Here is a prescription for painkillers." The doctor told him after doing the cast.

"You are going to stay with me." Gibbs ordered.

Tony nodded, he knew better than to argue with Gibbs today. Maybe in a week or two he can prove that he is capable of taking care of himself, even with the broken arm. But until then he will bide his time.

"Your suitcase is in your room. Abby brought it over while we were tied up at the hospital. Dinner will be in an hour and you will take your painkiller." Gibbs ordered.

Tony nodded and walked up to Gibbs guestroom. He stays here often enough when he is sick or hurt that Gibbs just started referring to it at his room. He wishes Gibbs would just yell at him and get it over with already. But he hasn't, he had been nice. Gibbs doesn't do nice, not with him. Gibbs knows that he doesn't like nice.

Tony goes down to help Gibbs with dinner. It would be the first step in proving that he doesn't need help.

"So Boss, how can I help?"

"Just sit."

"I can" Tony began before catching Gibbs glare, "Sit down right here and watch."

Tony sat down at the table and watched Gibbs make dinner. After dinner was ready, Gibbs put Tony's in front of him. Tony just stared at the plate willing it to disappear all on its own without having to actually eat it. Gibbs noticed Tony wasn't eating.

"You need to eat in order to take your pain killer."

Tony nodded but made no attempt to eat.

"Why aren't you eating?" Gibbs asked.

"You're mad at me, right?" Tony asked afraid of the answer.

"Yes, I am upset at your actions not at you. You could have been killed today and for a few moments there I thought you were dead. I couldn't move those crates off you fast enough and when you were finally free, you weren't moving. And all of it was for what?"

"To stop the suspect from getting away."

"If the suspect did get away, we would have found another way of catching him. No suspect is worth your life. I really wish you would comprehend that. Out there in the field you watch your six and the teams six. You have no problem with the team six; your problem comes with watching your six. On a day like today when we had so much ground to cover that we had to split up, I need to know that I don't have to worry about you doing something dangerous and stupid like getting yourself killed when you are working alone." Gibbs growled.

Tony heard the lecture and he knows that Gibbs is right. He uses his life as tool to justify getting a job done; as a means to an end. But he also knows that is never going to change.

Michael and Morgan will be in the next chapter.

Please Review. They make me so happy.
