This takes place right after "The Nature of the Beast." I know there are already a lot of NCIS Tiva Season Premiere one- shots out there, but I decided to keep this in the tradition of my stories "Forget Agent Barrett" and "Forget Mr. Miami" and do my takes on what should happen at the end of the episodes.

Disclaimer: I don't own the italicized lines or NCIS. Both belong to CBS and Bellisarius Productions.

Also, did anyone else (if you've watched M*A*S*H) feel like the conversation with Tony and Kate's sister seem a lot like the conversation with Hawkeye and Sydney Freeman?

Now I give you the first chapter of Two Special Agents

Each with a Badge

"All the girls you've dated have been dysfunctional." Kate's sister had told him. He smirked thinking about when he told her that girl's with guns were hot. They were. However, when Kate's sister told him, "That's what brings me back to Agent Barrett." He became thoroughly confused. He had not been thinking of Agent Barrett holding a gun at all, but Ziva. He had looked at the badge covered in blood earlier and thought it was Ziva's. That was one reason he did not want to remember what had happened earlier. When he looked at the badge thinking it was Ziva's blood, his mind reverted to seeing her in Somalia. Tony sighed as he put his head on the pillow remembering she had asked him to spend some time with her. He should have taken her up on the offer. Slowly he closed his eyes hoping to finally catch some much needed sleep that was not filled with murders and crooked assignments.

Ziva stood outside Tony's hospital room. She had peeked in to find him asleep and was now unsure if she should go in or not. Tony had had a trying day and Ziva did not want to interrupt any peaceful sleep he could get. Ziva turned to leave when she heard a noise come from his room. Immediately, the newly named Special Agent opened the door of her partner's room. Realizing she had overreacted at the noise, Ziva went to sit in the chair close to his bed. At least sitting next to Tony would ensure his safety in her mind. As Ziva sat next to Tony, her mind went to the conversation she had had with him a week ago about their spending time together. She knew it was an odd request, but felt like she needed the old Tony back. She felt like she was losing him again and finding out about Tony's being in the hospital had not helped her. When she had been told, her mind reverted back to his car being blown up. Ziva looked over at Tony before taking his hand in hers. He was all she wanted right now and oddly enough, that did not scare her.
