Author: Wereleopard58

Rating: T/Teen and up audiences (at the moment, it could change)

Show: NCIS/Star Wars the Old Republic and all expansion packs for the game.

Pairing: DiNozzo/Theron Shan, Slash

Summary: The second stand-alone story in my DiNozzo's Men. It's an AU. Senior worked for the government agency known as 'Empire', he was one of the special agents know as a 'Sith'. He seduced a female agent from the 'Republic'; she was a beautiful and powerful Jedi called Elizabeth Paddington. When they had a child, he was disappointed to find out that the pathetic creature had no 'Force' ability. Tony, from as early as he could remember was to never remove his necklace. No one could know that he was strong in the Force, especially his father. It was easy for him to hide, except when he had to work with SIS agent Theron Shan and Sith Lana Beniko. There was definitely more going on than just a case and how was he going to keep this secret, things only get worse when Ziva starts to annoy a woman much more powerful and terrifying, and his father turns up. All Tony wanted to do was escape it all and maybe take the gorgeous Theron with him. DiNozzo/Theron, Slash

Tony sat there and started to play with his necklace as he read a file, hoping that something would jump out at him. There had to be something he could find, all this talk with having to work with the other agencies of 'Empire,' 'Republic' and 'SIS' had him worried if they couldn't solve this case. He did everything he could to avoid them, what if they found out about him? What he could do? What would they do to him? What would his father do?

"I didn't know you liked jewellery Tony, what was her name?" Ziva asked snidely, she wanted to know how important this person was, when had they met and why didn't she know anything about it.

"What woman?" He just caught the last part of what she'd said; it had become second nature to ignore her as much as possible.

"The woman that gave you the necklace, what was her name?" She repeated more slowly as if he was an idiot and Tim laughed.

The computer genius loved it when Ziva brought Tony down; it made him feel better about himself. After all, she never did it to him.

Tony hadn't realised he'd taken it from underneath his shirt. "My mother gave it to me." He replied automatically.

Gibbs looked over and stared at his SFA, the younger man never gave up anything as personal as that, something was bothering him, and it annoyed him that Tony wouldn't talk to him about it. They were more than just a team, they were friends. He wanted the other man to be able to come to him and talk about what was up. Unfortunately, it wasn't something you could force.

"DiNozzo with me, alone." He growled as the other two stood up to join them.

"Are you sure it's not something we should know?" The Mossad operative asked. Any extra information on Tony would be fantastic. Even though Ziva had his file, she never seemed to understand him or to predict his next move. It annoyed her no end.

"If I wanted you to join us I would've ordered you to." He turned and walked off knowing that his SIC would be right behind him. Gibbs growled as soon as he saw his usual haunt was busy, so headed straight into the stairwell. "What's wrong?"

"Uh nothing, why?"

"I don't know that's why I'm asking. This case seems to bother you more than others."

"I just want it solved and, like you, I don't like working with other agencies, and more than one is a nightmare."

Gibbs nodded in agreement, even though he knew there was more to it, he couldn't make his agent to tell him. "I'm here if you need me."

"Thanks, boss I appreciate it."

The two men walked out and froze when there stood Shepard and an attractive woman.

"Ah, there you are Agent Gibbs. I'd like you to meet Satele Shan; she works for the Republic and is a Jedi."

Tony froze his only hope was to solve the case quickly and to avoid being alone with anyone who had an affinity with the 'Force'.

"It's nice to meet you Ms Shan; this is my Senior Field Agent Anthony DiNozzo Junior, Agent Tim McGee and Officer David…" He stopped as soon as he noticed that she was still staring at Tony.

"DiNozzo Junior?" She repeated and waited for him to nod. "I can see your mother in you. She was my best friend back in the academy. I'm sorry for your loss, but she is at one with the Force."

"Yes, your mother was a Jedi. It was a shame you didn't have a small amount of her power, or any of it really." Ziva muttered.

"Elizabeth was the most powerful Jedi I'd ever known. She was also the most loving and caring person. I was lucky to have her as a dear friend."

"Thank you, I didn't really get a chance to know her that well." His father had sent him off to boarding school as soon as he could. His mother hadn't argued it wasn't until later and that she explained it was to keep him away from Senior. Just after that she'd died, or murdered, Tony didn't know which it had been, but wouldn't put it past his old man.

"Of course." Satele smiled at him again and then turned to the others. "I'm here about the case you're working on this is the fourth person that has been murdered. All have Force abilities; so far that is the only connection. As you know, there aren't that many of us who can use it. They must all be connected. We've had talks with the Empire and SIS, so we wish to send you help. Two people will join you, Sith Lana Beniko and SIS agent Theron Shan." She watched as they heard the last surname. "Yes, he is my son, but he isn't Force sensitive. He will pass information on to me. I don't feel that you need an agent from the Republic. They will join us shortly."

"Thank you, Grand Master Shan," Shepard repeated the woman's complete title.

Ziva's eyes lit up this could be a chance to get an essential contact for her father. A Grand Master helping Mossad would prove that she was an excellent agent. It would also stop all those stories that she only got certain jobs because she was the daughter of the Director.

Lana turned and looked at Theron as they made their way up to the right floor. "Why do you think they want something was this Tony DiNozzo?"

"I don't know Lana; he doesn't have any Force abilities, no matter who his family is –."

"Like you." She grinned.

"Yes like me, well my father didn't have the ability either."

"Ah yes, the Supreme Commander."

Theron shook his head. "Forget I said anything…Whoever this 'third party' is they definitely have an interest in him."

"So we protect him and solve the case?"

"Hopefully we can do both." The two of them had been thrown together when they found out they had spies within their agencies and there was a mysterious organisation building up an army, for something. They each realised the other was the only one they could trust, to a point. Some even might say they were friends, kind of.

"Ah Theron, Ms Beniko." Satele smiled as they walked over.

Theron just nodded at his mother and turned to the people he'd, they'd be working with. His gaze landed on the good-looking, hazel-eyed man. His photo definitely didn't do him justice.

"I'm Director Shepard, this is Special Agent Gibbs, his second in command DiNozzo, Agent McGee and Officer David who is on loan to us from Mossad."

"You're the MCRT, correct?" Lana waited for them to nod. "What interest would Mossad have in that?"

Tony forced back a smile; it's one of those things he'd always wondered. Ziva was there for a reason, and it wasn't going to be one that worked in favour for NCIS. He did his best to keep her at arm's length. Just as he would with these two new 'guests', and he tried to ignore how attractive he found the man and the cranial cybernetic implants intrigued him. No matter what he felt, he was not going to get to know Theron Shan better; it just wasn't going to happen. Even to his own ears that felt like a lie.

"My father thought the experience would do me good." She snapped.

"Oh, so you needed some extra training then?" Theron replied and kept his face as neutral as he could, but the amusement on Tony's face was making it very difficult, and that wasn't the only thing. He shook his head to clear his mind from those thoughts, it was not the place, and his pants were far too tight.

"No, I didn't." With that, she turned her attention to Lana, who just stood there staring at her coolly. Those yellow eyes made Ziva feel a little nervous, so she pretended that something important appeared on her monitor.

"You have cranial cybernetics. I went for it, but I was refused. I think my father talked to someone." McGee muttered, with those implants his computer skills would've been so far ahead. Only the best got them, he had to get to know Agent Shan. Hopefully, the two of them would be partnered up.

"Theron, please keep me updated." She asked her son and waited for an acknowledgement. Satele hated the fact they weren't close. It had been a long time since anyone had known that she'd had a kid. While she'd been pregnant Master Zho had perpetrated the lie that she was on sensitive missions. Now she had no idea had to get closer to him. It didn't help that she and his father Jace didn't really speak, the military man had no idea how to connect with their son either.

"Agent Gibbs I will leave Shan and Beniko in your capable hands." Shepard smiled.

"Yes, director." He replied sarcastically. "Let's get you both up to date."

The man stared at the monitor and the photo of Anthony DiNozzo Junior. Only he knew how much raw power the young man had, and it would belong to him. He opened a channel, only those near the top saw who he was.

"Mr DiNozzo, you will bring me your son, is that understood."

Senior shuddered at the voice, but it was the only way he could work his way to the top of the pile. His son was the key and whatever they wanted to do him was okay, that damn brat was always a disappointment. This way at least he would do something for his father, which would make a change.

"Yes sir, I will make sure he is yours."
