Chapter 1
It had been nearly a year since the Hood's attack and a lot of things had changed on Tracy Island. Alan, although finishing his education with Fermat at Wharton's academy, was now a member of International Rescue and had started training, along with Fermat and Tintin. Evie now lived permanently on the Island and spent most of her free time fixing the Thunderbirds and messing with the various systems around the Island. She still went to various countries to help with NCIS cases when she was needed, but primarily was an active member of International rescue. John and Brains were now sharing rotations on Thunderbird 5, meaning that John would spend 1 month on 5 before spending 1 month on Earth while Brains mans the space station. Jeff still went on various missions, but not as many, saying that he was perfectly happy to man command and control with Tintin.
"Dad! They're back!" Gordon yelled from the pool as his father walked out to the deck.
"I know Gordon. Who do you think gave them permission to land?" Jeff replied as he made his way to meet the twins. "How was the trip?"
"Boring! She dragged me clothes shopping!" Virgil moaned as he walked up the path to the house from the tarmac, carrying a lot of bags.
"I didn't hear you complaining when you bought more clothes than me." Evie shot back as she carried her share of bags. "By the way Dad, I am never going to a business meeting for you again!"
"What happened?" Jeff asked, knowing it took a lot for his only daughter to get angry.
"All the guys wouldn't stop staring at her butt, or her chest." Virgil replied, still angry at the men openly staring at his twin.
"They what?" Scott snapped, walking towards them. It was well known that all of the Tracy boys were extremely over protective of Evie. Even Brains, Fermat, Kyrano and Onaha had become protective of the young female.
"Calm down Smother Hen. I handled it." Evie replied. "By the way Dad, you might be getting a phone call later on." Virgil realised what she was talking about and burst out laughing.
"What did you do?" Jeff asked, slightly worried.
"Well, one of the men at the meeting decided to slap my ass on his way out-" She said. Jeff chose to ignore her language when he heard what he did.
"So she spun around, looking murderous-" Virgil added.
"Pulled my gun out-"
"Pinned him to the wall-"
"And told him that if he did anything like that again, I'd shoot him where the sun don't shine-"
"Then rang his boss-"
"And got him fired." They finished together. Jeff and Scott stared at her for a second, before laughing so hard they were leaning on each other. Gordon came over to hear what they had been laughing about and once he heard the story, fell into fits of laughter.
"What has this got to do with a phone call?" Jeff asked once he stopped laughing.
"He got really pissy once I called his boss and said he'd call you and tell you how unfair and untrue it was and how he should get his job back." Evie said with a laugh.
"Ok. Go put your stuff away. Dinner is in 30 minutes. Oh and Evie, Brains wants to talk to you about doing some upgrades to the 'birds." Jeff said before walking to his office.
10 minutes later, Virgil was sat in the living room with Scott and Gordon when he received an email. His eyes widened as he realised what the email was and quickly checked to see that Evie had gotten the same email and knew exactly how she would react.
"Oh no." He said, knowing that they were in trouble once she opens the email.
"What?" Scott asked, looking up from the video game he was playing with Gordon.
"NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" They heard Evie shout as she ran down the stairs, making all the boys jump. She ran into the living room, looking straight at Virgil. "NO! NO WAY!" She shouted.
"Evie, calm down." He replied.
"Don't tell me to calm down Virgil Grissom Tracy!" She snapped. "There is no way I am seeing that woman again!"
"Woah! What's going on?" Jeff asked, walking into the room with Brains.
"There is a high school reunion for our class in 2 weeks." Virgil said, not taking his eyes off his sister.
"Then what's the problem?" Jeff asked, crossing his arms.
"Lisa Watts." Virgil said again. Scott and Gordon instantly knew why Evie was reacting the way she was, but Jeff was clueless.
"Who is Lisa Watts?" He asked.
"She's a bitch." Evie snapped.
"Language Evelyn." Jeff said to her, trying not to be too harsh. "Virgil?" He asked, knowing he would only get a string of profanities from Evie.
"She used to bully Evie and Gordon." Virgil said. "Remember when Gordon broke his arm? That was because Lisa pushed him down the stairs at school." Jeff instantly disliked this woman. "She wants us to take Scott, John, Gordon and Alan and do live music."
"Ok, you are all going." Jeff started, only to be cut off by the 4 of them protesting. "Enough! You are all going to go and that is final. I will attend meetings and we will take the 'birds and leave them at the private air strip in case we're needed." He walked out of the room before anyone could complain.
"There is no way I am going. I didn't even like anyone in your year!" Scott said. "Nothing will make me go."
"There's a free bar." Evie said.
"I'm going." He said before going to inform the 2 blonde brothers of the plan.

"I don't want to do this!" Gordon moaned as the 4 of them stood in front of Thunderbird 2.
"Suck it up and get in the 'bird." Evie snapped, still in a bad mood.
"Alan breaks up for half term today, so we have to get him anyway, and Dad said we all have to go and take the 'birds in case of a rescue." Scott sighed, still angry about having to go.
"Then why isn't John here?" The red head complained, pulling at the sleeve of his flight suit.
"Because he is currently in orbit around the Earth in a tin can and isn't due to come down 'till next week. Now get your butt in the 'bird before I strap you to the windscreen with jelly." Evie snapped, making the red head sprint into the 'bird out of fear.
"It won't be that bad, will it?" Scott asked as Evie walked ahead of them.
"You've obviously never been shopping with Evie." Virgil replied with a laugh. Scott gave him a quizzical look at the pilot sat down and started the pre-flight checks on his 'bird. They quickly took off and flew to America, landing the 'bird at their private airstrip just outside of New York where Lady Penelope and Parker were waiting with Alan and Fermat. The British agent quickly left with Fermat, taking him back to the Island, while the Tracy siblings got into the car they kept at the air strip for occasions like this and drove to the shop they wanted.
"How come Fermat got out of this?" Alan asked as they walked out of a shop, 3 hours after they entered.
"Because he doesn't have to go to this reunion and Lady P took him back." Gordon replied as paparazzi snapped pictures of the 5.
"Come on. We need to pick up John's suit." Evie said, walking slightly in front of them with Virgil.
"Why does John get to order his suit and we don't?" Gordon asked, still sour about having to go.
"Because he is in his lab and Dad said we have to get it for him." Scott replied as they walked into the shop and Evie left them to get the suit. "How does she do it?"
"No idea. My feet kill! I can't imagine how much hers hurt." Alan replied, sitting in one of the chairs.
"Those heels must be at least 6 inches!" Gordon said, stretching his back. "And she was in the changing room for an hour trying on dresses."
"I can hear you guys you know." She said as she walked out to them, suit bag in hand. "Ready to go?"
"YES!" All 4 boys shouted as they left the shop. Evie just laughed as they got back into the car and drove back to the air strip. They quickly got changed before Scott and Gordon went to sit in the passenger section at the back of the pod while Evie and Alan co-piloted, with Virgil the pilot of course.
"Ready for lift off." Virgil said. They expertly guided the big, green 'bird into the air, Evie radioing the Island to let them know their ETA. Once they were in the air, Virgil activated the auto-pilot and turned his chair to look at Alan. "Wanna get some more training Speed?" He asked, making Alan smile.
"Hell yeah!" He yelled, quickly getting out of his chair and into Virgil's. Virgil leant on the back of the chair, looking over Alan's shoulder and telling him what to do.
"Hey Fly-Boy. You 2 alright down there?" Evie asked over the comms, laughing at Virgil's expression when Alan hit the wrong button.
"We're all good Female Thunder." Gordon replied. "Fly-Boy fell asleep just as we were taking off."
"Don't torment him too much Fish." She replied. "Anyway, thought you should know that Speed's flying. At least until we near the Island."
"FAB. I'll strap Fly-Boy in." Gordon replied.
"Hey!" Alan protested, looking over at where Evie sat laughing.
"Watch where you're going!" Virgil snapped, making Alan look forward again.
"I think I preferred the simulator." Alan muttered, making Evie laugh more at the look on Virgil's face.
Here you go guys. Hope this was alright for you. Just so you know, I am going to make this a crossover with NCIS:LA in later chapters, but I'm not going to put it in the category as a crossover since this is primarily a Thunderbird fic and the NCIS:LA characters only provide some help.
Please let me know what you thought.
