A/N: This is a one-shot that came to me when I was listening to my iPod last night. It wouldn't leave me alone, so I wrote it. The song is "Superman" by Taylor Swift.

Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS: LA or the song by Taylor Swift. I kinda own the plot.

Talk, dark, and Superman. He puts papers in his suitcase and drives away. To save the world, or go to work, it's the same thing to me.

Nell listened in her com. She heard Callen shout "NCIS!" Then the sound of a door being kicked open. Gunfire followed. What seemed like hours later, she heard Callen say the bombs had been recovered. She sighed in relief.

I hang on every word you say. And you'll smile and say "How are you?" and I'll say "Just fine." I always forget to tell you I love you, I love you forever.

Nell watched Callen head back down the stairs. Their flirty banter, their small talk. She wondered if he ever thought of having anything more. She realized that she loved him. But she shouldn't. She should love Eric. That's what everyone expected. They were perfect for each other.

I watch superman fly away. You've got a busy day today. Go save the world, I'll be around. I watch superman fly away. Come back I'll be with you someday. I'll be right here on the ground, when you come back down.

"Bye guys! See you later." Nell watched Callen walk out of OSP. He and Sam were being placed undercover. Bare minimum contact for two weeks. She could listen in through her com, but they couldn't hear her. She wished she could give him a hug, even a kiss. But then he would know. The whole team would know. And she couldn't have that. Because everyone expected she and Eric to be together. And Nell never disappointed,

And I watch you fly around the world. And I hope you don't save some other girl. Don't forget, don't forget about me.

Callen was helping Red Team out for a few days on a joint-mission. Nell was listening to every word said, and she wished she wasn't. Because she had to listen to Paris flirt with him. And he didn't say anything. Just talked to her. So maybe he liked her too. Idiot. She thought. Of course he likes her. They're perfect for each other. Just like you and Eric are 'perfect' for each other. Nell sighed and continued to listen.

Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be. Right here wishing the flowers were from you. Wishing the card was from you. Wishing the call was from you.

Today was Nell's birthday. Ironically, Callen was coming home today. She had gotten flowers from, Eric. She got a cards from Sam and Hetty. Kensi and Deeks, who were on vacation- had called her. But she hadn't heard or seen anything from Callen.

'Cause I loved you from the very first day.

"Nell?"

Nell spun around in her chair. Ops was empty except for the man who was walking towards her. The one she hadn't seen in forever. The one who was now helping her up out of her chair and pulling her in for a hug. "Happy Birthday." he whispered in her ear.

"Thanks." she pulled back and smiled at him.

"So what do you say we ditch this place and go grab something to eat for your birthday?"

Nell grabbed her purse. "Sounds good."

They headed down the stairs and out of OSP.

"It's good to have you back Callen."

"It's good to be back." He put an arm around her waist.

I'll be right here on the ground, when you come back down.
