POV: Alexia and Tony.
Chapter 1
I kept my eyes closed and hoped that he wouldn't come back. He had already killed my friend and raped me. I wondered if this was the place I was going to die. I had just gotten out of the Marines and was on my way to surprise my brother.I guess he'd be surprised to know that I was found dead in a park near where he lived.
"Call NCIS" a male voice ordered. Another let him know that he heard him and ran off. There was suddenly a hand on my neck and my eyes snapped open. A police officer stared down at me. Paramedics, who had just arrived, checked me over and did a rape kit in the ambulance after a long fight about me going to the hospital. I hated hospitals.
"Special Agent Gibbs" I heard a voice say to the first police officer. I was done and I stepped out of the ambulance so they could question me. As soon as I stepped around the ambulance, I saw someone I never expected to see.
"Alexia" he whispered and ran to me. I was engulfed in a huge hug before he scanned me to make sure I was okay. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into another hug.
"DiNozzo! How..." a silver haired man asked. I giggled quietly. My brother gave me a look that said 'shut up'. Back in high school, the teachers, coaches, and kids used to confuse the two of us when they called us that.
"She's my sister boss. My twin sister" Tony told him. Boss? I thought the police officers had called him to pick me up or something. The guy introduced himself as NCIS Agent Gibbs and questioned me about what I remembered.
"Sir. There's not much I can remember. The attacker had hazel eyes and was Caucasian. That's all I noticed before he...raped me and knocked me out. Sir" I told him. Tony wrapped an arm around me and squeezed me.
"Alright. If you remember any more, tell Tony" Agent Gibbs said. I nodded. Suddenly, everything went black.
Tony
As soon as Gibbs finished questioning Lexi, I saw my sister's eyes roll back into her head as she fainted. I was glad that I had my hands wrapped around her because she would've hit her head hard. I silently cursed and gently laid her on the ground. As soon as I did, she started to convulse.
"Somebody get me something to put under her head and something with sugar in it" I yelled at the people standing around us as I pinned her arms and legs to the ground so she wouldn't hurt herself. I fought the panic down and reasoned that Lexi needed me to stay calm. She hadn't had one of these fits in years. Gibbs put his jacket under her head and watched me.
"Move back" McGee ordered the crowd. They were standing a little too close. Gibbs took something from someone and I held on as Lexi's convulsions got worse for a brief moment before finally stopping all together. I got off of her and took the sugar drink that Gibbs handed me.
"Tony" Lexi asked as she woke up. I opened the bottle and made her drink some of it before pulling her close. I always hated to watch her attacks over the years. I didn't want her to hurt herself, but she couldn't help it if she did.
"When was the last time had anything to eat or drink before the episode" I asked her. She looked at me guiltily and I closed my eyes as I sighed. Since most; if not all; foods have sugar in them, Lexi would always need to bring something to keep sugar in her body.
"You should go to the hospital" Gibbs told her. She shook her head and drank the rest of the sugar drink. When she was done, Lexi and Gibbs argued over going to the hospital.
"I don't have to. The paramedics checked me over and did a rape kit on me. The seizures are something that I've had ever since I was born. I only get them if I don't eat or drink anything for a long time. I normally have a snack on me" she told him. The two of them had and a staring competition and surprisingly, Lexi won.
"At least have Dr. Mallard check you out" I said trying to make a compromise. Lexi agreed and Ducky cleared her. Gibbs shook his head and muttered something about her being a DiNozzo.
"DiNozzo" he shouted as he crouched down by the body. Both Lexi and I lifted our heads at the name and then looked at each other. Like high school, it was hard to tell which one of us he was referring to.
"Tony, I think he means you. I don't work for him, so it makes the most sense" Lexi confided. I went over and followed Gibbs' directions to take pictures before Ducky and the Autopsy Gremlin put the body in the truck and McGee and Ziva collected the evidence.
"This reminds me of this cop movie..." I started. Gibbs smacked me on the back of my head and stopped me before I could continue on my rant. Lexi's fit of giggles stopped my next comment. I hadn't heard her laugh for years.
"Tony, did anyone ever tell you that you watch way too many movies" she asked me in between laughs. I rolled my eyes and pouted playfully. I took a picture of her before she could calm down.
"DiNozzo! Are you done playing with the camera yet" Gibbs asked me angrily. I snapped to attention and barely saw Lexi fighting back another fit of giggles.
"Yes boss. Are we finished" I asked him. He looked from me to Lexi before letting us leave. I put the equipment back into the truck and we all rode back to the office so we could get our cars.
"Wow Tony, new car" Lexi asked when she saw the Mustang. I smiled proudly and gave her all the stats of the car making her sigh in boredom. I leaned over and gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"Hey, I'm glad you're okay Lex. I wouldn't know what I'd do if I found out that you had been killed. We'll find that bastard that hurt you" I told her. Images of Lexi lying on the ground dead flitted through my mind and I had to shake them away.
"Tony, look, I'll pay you back for everything that you're doing for me. I'll find a job and pay you back..." Lexi began. I instantly smacked her lightly on the back of her head and stopped her mid-sentence.
"Shut up Lexi. You're my little sister. You can stay here as long as you like; free of charge" I told her. The job situation was pretty much handled the next day when Director Sheppard was talking to her. She was automatically put on the team as a Probationary Agent.
"DiNozzo" Gibbs called making both Lexi and I jump up. Gibbs ran his hand across his face and told us that I'd remain DiNozzo and he'd call Lexi by name.
"I've got a lead on a possible suspect" I reported. As soon as Lexi saw the photo, she gasped.
Lexi
That was him! That was the guy who tried to kill me! The others stared at me in curiosity. I remembered exactly what had happened that day. I was walking through the park when the asshole grabbed me and raped me. My friend had seen the attack and had come over to help; only to be stabbed with a knife.
"Lexi" Tony asked. The guy smiled as he knocked me on the head hard before pulling on a mask. I saw him run away right before the blackness had swallowed me up.
"T-That's him" I told them. I had almost fainted from the headache that came with the memories. I took a sip from my drink and took a deep breath before standing up again. Tony gave us his information while standing next to me ready to leap into action in the case that something would happen to me.
"Let's bring him in" Gibbs told us. He motioned for Ziva and McGee to go get him. Tony watched me carefully and Gibbs gave me a soft stare. On the way to the office, Tony had warned me about Gibbs.
"I'm fine. I'll interrogate him if you want me to prove that I'm okay" I told him. Tony gave me a look and whacked me on the back of the head. I glared at him.
"You are not going to interrogate him even if I have to go in and drag you out kicking and screaming" he told me stubbornly. I sighed and swore in Spanish.
"Tony, if you think that I'm afraid of him, then you don't know anything about me. Just seeing me will shake him up. Easy, open-and-shut case" I told him. Gibbs and Tony shared a look that I couldn't read.
"I never said that you were afraid of him..." Tony began. Gibbs swiftly cut him off by saying that I was going into the interrogation room and that they would watch me from behind the glass.
"Which room boss" McGee asked as Ziva marched in holding the guy by the back of his neck. They put him in interrogation room one and Tony tried to get me out of questioning him. That prompted Gibbs to smack him on the head.
"Well, here it goes" I sighed. While I couldn't wait to put this bastard behind bars, I was a little nervous about questioning him. It was my first time and I was still new as a Fed, but I wanted to prevent any other girl from going through what I went through.
"You! You survived" he asked me. I smiled sinisterly and slammed the files onto the table before making a smart remark that would've been worthy of Tony's praise. I started drilling the guy and threw in some taunts.
"You couldn't wait could you? You had to attack, you sick, dirty bastard" I said. He snapped. With a growl, he launched himself at me with scissors. Everything went in slow motion and as soon as I saw him flying at me, I pulled out my Sig and fired.
"Die bitch, die" he yelled at me. I hit him square in the chest with my first bullet and in the shoulder with my second. Unfortunately, I was also hit as well. I looked at my left shoulder and saw one of the blades sticking out. It hadn't gone in far, but it did go in enough that I could bleed to death.
"Lexi" Tony called running over to me. I could only stare at the scissors sticking out of me. How could this have happened? I could have easily dodged a hail of bullets, but instead I get taken out with a pair of scissors? The ground began to fall away and I felt Tony's arms wrap around me as he lowered me to the ground. His hands forced me to look at him instead of the wound.
"Bring it to Autopsy" Gibbs hollered at someone. All I could see was Tony's face as he went on about me getting better. He had his usual mask on; the one he puts on when someone he loves his critically injured.
"H-Hard t-to believe" I said. I coughed and some spit came out of my mouth. Tony used his shirt to wipe it away and then gently caressed my forehead. I'd seen soldiers, kids, get blown up on the battlefield; I've seen men and women of my pay grade and both higher and lower ones get shot dead right in front of me; and I've watched as apposing soldiers died in firefights while either me or others contributed to killing them. Yet I can't watch and react to an everyday scissor coming at me?
"What's hard to believe" Gibbs asked crouching next to us. I looked over to him; another Marine. I smiled at him. I could tell that he was a former Marine not only from his personality, but there was a vibe that came off of him that screamed Marine.
"T-That a d-damn pair of scissors would kill me when...b-bullets and bombs couldn't" I stuttered out. Tony had also warned me the previous day that nice Gibbs wasn't good. Gibbs was being nice. I think.
"Colonel Alexia DiNozzo, who the hell told you that you could die? Last time I checked, you were on my team and I didn't tell you that you could die" he demanded in a calm, but raised voice. I let out a choked laugh; he was a stubborn Marine; a type I've seen before. Tony blinked and Gibbs ordered me not to die before marching out of the room in a loud rage. The paramedics hadn't arrived yet which was kind of odd.
"I didn't know you were a Colonel. Last time I talked to you, you were a Sergeant Major" he said curiously. I rolled my eyes. Tony was...well, Tony. There was no other way to describe my twin.
"T-Tony, t-that was years ago. Way too long ago. I think I was well-liked by someone in a higher position. I don't think anybody has gained ranks as fast as I have" I told him. Finally, the paramedics came and loaded me onto a stretcher.
"Remember, when you get out of the hospital, you're coming to my apartment and I'm going to be making sure you recover fully. Without complications" Tony stated bluntly. I opened my mouth to protest, but Tony snapped the oxygen mask onto my face.
"Prep the OR! Patient is stable, but in critical condition" a paramedic called over the radio in the ambulance. I was going to Bethesda, the closest hospital there was. As soon as I entered the hospital, I let the blackness overcome me.
"Did you get the stuff McGoo? We wouldn't want Lexi getting bored, now would we? No, I couldn't! Would you leave your sister if she was in the hospital? Just put them on the side of the TV McSmooth" Tony's voice growled. I opened my eyes and saw him glaring at his phone. He grumbled a goodbye and hung up.
"Are you being a pain in the ass again? I think you are going to piss all of the doctors off if you continue" I lectured him. He turned to me and smiled. He rambled about a movie he watched and I sighed heavily.
"DiNozzo! Stop trying to kill your sister with another one of your movie references" Gibbs snapped smacking him on the back of his head. That's when I thought of something.
"Tony, what about dad" I asked him. He looked at me glumly.
Another sister fic. Ideas for stories just can't leave me alone!
