Why Me.
Summery: So we all know Callen doesn't date cops. He can't help it that female cops seem to like him. What happens when a new agent joins the team and she has no interest in G Callen? Callen of course decides she's the one for him.
There will be lots of drama, humor and maybe some romance. Will involve the entire team as well as some Densi. Set around the time Kensi comes home and goes from there. And as always I own nothing except my original character.
Hetty sat at her desk and watched as Sam looked over the rest of the team. Once again they were sporting bruises, cuts and most likely the way Kensi was holding her side some cracked ribs. She and Sam did their best at patching the team up but maybe it was time they had a full time medic. Hetty picked up the phone and called Vance.
Two weeks later the mission doors opened and a woman walked in. Or to put it more correctly strutted in. Special Agent Finn Hudson made her way thru the buildings main hall with confidence. She walked past four sets of eyes watching her. Hetty looked up and smiled at her as she took a seat across from her.
"Well Miss Hudson how nice to see you again."
"Same here Hetty. So Vance says you need an agent with medic training."
"That we do." Hetty pointed over to the four agents who were gathered watching. They scattered back to their desks as soon as Hetty pointed at them. "Those four get hurt more than a team of Rugby players."
Finn nodded at Hetty and settled back into her seat. "You know I was supposed to be on leave for another six months."
"I do realize that you needed that time but I need you here more."
"Ok fine Hetty you got me."
"Good lets go introduce you to your new team."
Hetty led the way over. "Now everyone I would like to introduce you to your new team member." Hetty looked up at Finn. "Everyone this is Special Agent Finn Hudson."
Finn looked around at two confused faces (Kensi and Deeks) one amused face (Sam) and one not too happy face (Callen.)
"Miss Hudson this is G Callen your team leader, his partner Sam Hanna, Kensi Blye and Marty Deeks."
"Nice to meet you." Said Sam.
"Same here."
"Now Miss Hudson is not only an agent she is a trained field medic."
"Military trained?" asked Sam.
"Yes Marines."
"Nice, Navy Seal." Sam smiled at her. It was going to be nice to work with someone military for a change.
Deeks looked at Kensi then back at Finn. "We do get hurt a lot." Said Deeks.
"Yes you do Mr. Deeks. Now make her feel welcome." She pointed at the desks. "Make room for her at one of your desks please. I'll let you choose where she sits."
Sam started to rearrange his things and told Deeks to move his down to the middle so Finn could have room on the end. It was a tight squeeze but they would make it work.
Callen sat at his desk and watched the newest member get situated. Nell came over and brought her some things for her space as well as a chair. Once they were settled Kensi spoke up.
"So how long were you a marine?"
"Five years."
"Why did you get out?"
"I was involved in a case that Agent Gibbs was working. He recruited me to join NCIS, at the time it seemed like a smart move."
Kensi smiled at her. "My dad was a marine sniper."
"I went thru the sniper training but was better at the medical stuff."
Kensi liked Finn right away. Plus it was good to have another woman around. She had to smirk at the way Deeks kept checking her out without trying to get caught.
"Deeks."
"What?" Deeks jumped when Kensi called him. She shook her head at him.
"Let's go spar."
"Yeah sure. Spar." Deeks got up and made his way behind Finn and followed Kensi to the gym.
"So what's up with those two?" asked Finn.
"Partners in every sense of the way." Said Sam.
Finn shrugged and powered up her lap top to check her emails. Callen still hadn't said a word. Sam looked over at him and found Callen to be studying her.
"Hey G how about if Finn rides with us for a while?"
"Sure."
Finn looked up at Callen. He was looking right at her. She raised an eyebrow at him and went back to her laptop.
Callen couldn't get a read on this new agent. She was tall to begin with but her boots had two inch heals that brought her up to his height. Her blond hair was pulled back into a pony tail and she had one pink streak going from the front of her head all the way back. Her skin had a light tan to it so she must spend time outside. She wore little makeup and had small diamond studs in her ears.
It was her eyes that really got to him. They were a grey/blue. He had never seen eyes that shade before. Callen now knew how Kensi must have felt the first time she saw Deeks.
Finn was not too happy that Callen was watching her. One it made her nervous. Second she didn't like to be watched. After checking her email she decided to go explore.
Callen's eyes followed her as she made her way out of the bullpen.
"Man G can you be any more obvious?"
"What are you talking about Sam?"
"You've been staring at her sense she walked in. Either you don't trust her already or you like her. I'm going with like."
"No clue what you're talking about Sam."
"Sure G. But I think you're smitten."
"I am not. You know I don't date cops."
"Never say never man."
Callen shook his head and got back to his own paperwork. He hated to admit it but Sam was right. He was totally smitten.
Finn found the gym and stopped to watch Kensi flip Deeks onto the mat. "Ow Kensi."
"Oh come one Deeks you tripped over your own feet that time."
Deeks stood up and rubbed his butt. "Hey Finn how's it going?" said Deeks.
"Good just decided to explore a bit."
"Well welcome to the gym." Deeks pointed to a hallway in the back. "We have a shooting range and armory back there."
"Your own shooting range sweet." Finn started to walk away. "Can I ask you guys something?"
"Sure." Said Kensi grabbing her water bottle.
"What is up with Callen?"
Kensi and Deeks exchanged a look. "Why?"
"Well he just spent the last fifteen minutes staring at me."
"With Callen you never know." Said Deeks.
"Just so you know he doesn't date cops." Added Kensi.
Finn shrugged and headed for the shooting range. An hour later she ended up back at her desk. Sam was nowhere to be seen. Callen was the only one there and he looked up her as she walked by.
"So Gibbs recruited you?"
"Yep."
"You work with Gibbs?"
"Yep."
Callen looked over at her. She was typing at her computer and not looking up at him.
"So where are you from?"
"Lots of places."
Callen was used to people wanting to share. Hell most liked to share way more than the answer to a simple question.
"Let me guess Marine brat?"
"Nope."
"Navy?"
"Nope."
"Army."
"Nope."
"Ok has to be Air force?"
Finn finally looked up at him. Callen smirked at her. "So your mom or dad?"
"Neither."
Callen was getting nowhere.
"You don't like to share do you?"
"Nope."
Finn sat back in her chair and crossed her arms and looked Callen in the eye. Neither of them noticed they had an audience. Hetty, Granger, Nell, Eric, Kensi and Deeks were on the upper level watching the exchange.
"I have $50 on Callen blowing a gasket by the end of the first week." Said Kensi.
"I'll take that." Said Granger.
"G likes her, I think the fact that she isn't throwing herself at him is going to be fun to watch." Said Sam.
"Yeah women usually like Callen, Finn doesn't seem to really care." Said Deeks.
"So are you going to tell me anything?" asked Callen.
"Wasn't planning on it."
Callen smiled at her. He liked a challenge.
"Ok how about you tell me one thing and I'll tell you one thing."
Finn cocked her head to the side and looked at him.
"Alright who was in the Air Force?"
"My uncle he raised me."
"I was in 32 foster homes."
Finn looked at Callen for a heartbeat then went back to her laptop. Callen smiled at her and finally went back to his own work.
Finn looked up at him and rolled her eyes. The rest of the day went fast and Finn started to get into the rhythm that was OSP. As everyone was getting their stuff together Kensi suggested going for beers and pizza. Everyone was in except Finn. She just wanted to go home and relax but they insisted so an hour later she found herself sitting next to Kensi and Nell at a local restaurant.
The team seemed to be a good group of people. In a way they reminded her of Gibbs' team. They were a family. She just didn't know where she fit in with this new family or if she ever would.
Callen was once more watching her from across the table. Finn noticed that Sam was watching them both. She took a deep breath then picked up her beer. It was going to be a long night.
"So Finn you enjoying LA so far?" asked Deeks.
"Well I haven't seen much of it yet. I'm still waiting on most of my stuff to show up."
"Do you have any family here?" asked Nell.
"No." Finn could feel every one looking at her. "Closest thing I have to family is Gibbs."
"What about your uncle?" asked Callen.
"He died on 911, he was in the first tower to come down."
No one knew what to say to that. The tension was broken when the desert cart was brought too close to Kensi and she almost grabbed it. Nell explained that Kensi had an addiction to sugar. After Kensi got her sugar fix and half of what Deeks ordered everyone said goodnight.
Finn was walking to her car when Callen caught up to her. "If you want I'd be happy to show you around LA this weekend."
"My things are being delivered on Saturday so I'll be busy this weekend unpacking."
"Did you want some help?"
Boy he doesn't take no for an answer. Finn looked at Callen and noticed Sam watching from his car.
"I'm sure I'll be fine."
Callen seemed a bit upset she said no to him. He must be used to women falling at his feet. Finn didn't have time to deal with a guy like him. She opened her car door and got in leaving Callen standing there. Once she drove away he walked back to Sam.
"Got shot down huh G?"
"Shut up Sam."
"Hey give it time, she doesn't know you."
Callen got into the car and closed his eyes. Why on earth did he have to be attracted to a cop of all people?
The next day Finn was in before Callen. She was up in OPS with Eric and Nell getting her new cell phone and being brought up to speed on how things worked. Callen stopped just inside the door and just watched.
Finn was leaning over the table net to Eric looking at something on a tablet. They were laughing an acted like they knew each other. Callen was jealous.
Eric looked up at Callen. "Hey Callen what's up?"
"Nothing just seeing if we got a case."
"Nope no case."
Finn never looked up at him once. She pointed something on the tablet out to Eric and they laughed again. Callen walked over to see photos of Abby. It hit him then Abby must have talked to Finn about Eric and the other way around.
There was one photo that came on the slide show of Abby and Finn. They were showing off tattoo on their wrists.
"Ok so Abby's is a spider what's your?" asked Callen.
Finn finally looked over at him. Eric chuckled next to her. Finally she pulled off her watch and showed him. It was a skull with a rose in its teeth. "I lost a bet. Abby got to pick what I got."
Callen smiled. "I like it."
Finn shrugged and put her watch back on. Callen invited himself to look at the photos too. Eric tried not to point it out to Finn. The one thing Callen noticed was that in every photo of Finn she was smiling. Callen hadn't seen her smile once yet.
After a few minutes the photos ended and Eric turned the tablet off. "Oh Eric I almost forgot I spoke to Abby last night and she is coming out to visit next month for a few days.
"Oh cool. I can't wait to take her to that new tech bar."
"Eric she's coming to see Finn not you." Said Nell laughing.
"Actually I think she'd rather visit with the guys then me. In fact she said she can't wait to see Callen again." Finn looked at Callen and almost laughed at the look on his face.
"I thought she had a boyfriend?" asked Eric.
"Nope she broke up with him. Something about him passing out at the sight of blood." Finn shook her head and walked out of the room. Callen followed her.
"Abby is not my type."
"Oh calm down Callen she's excited to see all of you. Said she had a blast the last time she was here. Well except for the getting kidnapped part."
"Yeah that was not good." Callen walked down the steps next to Finn. "I really would be happy to help you unpack this weekend. I can bring over food and beer."
"You don't give up do you?"
"No." Callen smiled at her.
"I'll think about it."
With that Finn headed to the shooting range leaving Callen once more standing there watching her walk away.
