Alternate Aliyah Chapter 1: Promotion.
What if Gibbs chose Ziva over Tony in Isreal? Where would their lives be? Who's side would Mcgee and Abby chose? And, most importantly, would there be there be a happy ending? T for infrequent swearing and violent fight scenes. Spoilers for Aliyah and Semper Fidelis.
If you love Ziva do not read this; the story takes Tony's side so there is a lot of Ziva bashing, Also Gibbs is a bit OOC in this story, so there is a bit of Gibbs bashing in the early chapters too...

Location: The Plane
''Gibbs I can no longer trust Tony'' said Ziva quietly. ''I know Ziver, I know'' whispered Gibbs. ''Can you reassign him please, I don't want to stay in Israel with my Father'' plead Ziva. ''I'll go talk to Tony, all right, I'll see what I can do'' said Gibbs
Ziva walked back on the military aircraft with a smug look on her face. She tried to direct to Tony, however he was asleep. The plane takes off as Gibbs enters the plane; just behind Ziva.
''Tony, TONY'' shouted Gibbs, waking Tony up. ''Yes boss'' said Tony immediately, yawning as he did so. ''I need to talk to you in private, now''. He signalled for Tony to follow him down to the back on the plane. '' As he got up, Ziva directed a smug smile at Tony, who this time saw it. What has she done thought tony, who was instantly unnerved. Ziva smiled again as she saw that.
''Tony'' said Gibbs, once they reached the front of the plane. ''What boss'' said Tony. ''The dynamic of you and Ziva isn't going to work on the team; she no longer trusts you'' began Gibbs. ''I know boss, I gathered'' said Tony impatiently. Must be tired thought Gibbs. ''She needs to stay here, DiNozzo, so her wretched father can't get his hands into her...'' said Gibbs. He paused, letting his sentence lie in the air. After 10 seconds of silence Tony spoke up: ''Are you saying what I think your saying Boss-'' ''you can't say on the team Tony, I'm sorry, but it won't work interrupted Gibbs, cutting him of. Before Tony could open his mouth again, Gibbs walked of, taking his seat at the back of the plane. 3 minutes later, a considerably sadder Tony walked slowly to his chair at the back of the plane, looking at the ground constantly as he did so. Ziva attempted to meet his eyes, so she could unnerve him again, but she did not succeed.
Unknown to the 3 of them, Director Leon Vance of NCIS was not asleep; he was faking it. Tony leaving, WOW that is big. I thought Gibbs and Tony were inseparable. Maybe I can use this to my advantage. He may not be my favourite agent in the world, but maybe I could use him to my advantage... For the Specialised Special Ops team I want to develop. I should offer him that now!
''Agent DiNozzo, can I talk to you at the front of the plane please'' asked Vance. He's asking thought Tony. ''Yes sir'' said Tony, and got up from his chair. Vance did to, and followed Tony done the plane. Ziva and Gibbs both watched the pair go down the plane, and both were thinking the same thing: what does Vance want with Tony?
''Agent DiNozzo I hear you need a new Team'' said Vance. ''Apparently I do sir'' replied Tony, with a hint of sadness in his voice. Director Vance noticed this. ''I'm starting a specialised Special Operations team when we return to America, and I need someone I trust at the Helm. That's you Tony, do you accept the position. ''Yes sir'' said Tony, almost immediately. ''Good, your rank will be Supervisonary Special agent, congratulations Agent DiNozzo'' said Vance. ''Thank you sir'' said Tony. ''We shall discuss your team when we get back to D.C'' said Vance, and turned to go back to his seat. ''Yes sir'' said Tony, and followed.
Ziva and Gibbs looked up when they heard Vance and Tony approach. They both had smiles on their faces. Why is he happy, he shouldn't be happy he's supposed to be depressed thought Ziva. Why is Vance so happy and why Tony is smiling too... Something is up. Ziva couldn't contain herself: ''what are you so happy about Traitor'' said Ziva, with obvious hostile and venom in her voice. Before Tony could answer, or Gibbs could tell her of, Vance spoke: ''Tony just got a brilliant promotion, and now has an excellent Job'' said Vance. Again, before Gibbs or Ziva could speak, he spoke up ''Tony, your job is Top secret by the way, you know why I gather'' said Vance, directing it at tony. Tony thought back to their conversation 5 minutes ago; it made sense. ''Yes Director, I understand''.
This is wrong; tony should be depressed not happy and down smiles, or is it all smiles. I'm not sure, but anyway, why the hell is he happy. And top secret classification, what's with that... thought Ziva
Location: D.C NCIS HQ
Director Vance had scheduled Tony's meeting with him for 09:00. It was 07:45. Time to say goodbye. How do I say goodbye to Abs thought Tony, as he went up the Elevator. With a Caf-Pow he thought. Ten minutes later, once he'd bought a Caf-Pow for Abby, he set out though the Bullpen. Ziva looked up; as did Mcgee. I'll say goodbye to Probie later he thought. McGee's face was one of surprise; Ziva's was unreadable. ''What's up with DiNozzo?'' asked Mcgee as tony went past. Ziva ignored him. ''Ziva? Asked McGee. Looks like she's pissed with me too or maybe she's just pissed at everyone... Anyway I really need to speak to Tony...
''Hey Abs, how are you'' said Tony, as he entered Abby's 'Labby'. ''I'm good'' said Abby, as she accepted the caf-pow and drunk it happily. ''You however, are not'' said Abby abruptly as she stopped drinking. ''How can you tell Abby'' said Tony, who then sighed and turned a 360. ''Well'' said Abby as she turned back to her computer: ''your Armani suit is soaked in sweat and what appears to be tears, you hair is messy and very unlike you and you have come and seen me early which means you are sad'' said Abby. ''Maybe I just like to see you'' said Tony softly. ''Well of course you do'' said Abby as she turned to face him again, ''but you've only ever come this early once and that was when you were sad after killing that idiot Rivkin'' said Abby. As she noticed him wince, she realised the problem. ''She still hate you? Asked Abby. ''So much she got Gibb's to kick me off the team said Tony, with a hint of anger in his tone. ''WHAT'' shouted Abby. ''No no no no no NO!'' Shouted Abby, who was now hysterical and circling her computer. '' You can't leave said Abby, who started crying. ''Come here abs'' said Tony, who hugged her. At this point Ziva entered the room. Oblivious to her presence, for his back was facing the door, Tony began to comfort Abby: ''It's okay Abby, I'll keep in contact, I promise, I'll be around D.C a lot, and I'll come visit whenever I can'' said Tony soothingly. ''You better'' said Abby, who then pulled away from him.'' Or I'll Kill you and leave no forensic evidence'' Then, Abby saw Ziva, who had been watching for over a minute and a half now; silently.'' And frame Ziva'' whispered Abby.
''So Agent David what can I do for you''. Before Ziva could speak up Tony spoke up: ''Gotta say goodbye to McGeek'' said Tony, who was trying to sound joyful in front of Ziva. ''See ya later abs'' said Tony, again joyfully, and walked toward the Elevator. Just as he entered the elevator, he heard Abby begin to shout at Ziva, and could not help but smile.
''What the Hell Ziva'' shouted Abby.
''I no longer trust him; so I got him out of Gibb's Team'' said Ziva, almost proudly.
''How dare you!'' shouted Abby even loader. ''He tried to help you, and you betrayed him''.
''Betrayed Him!'' screamed Ziva. ''He's a traitor he killed my boyfriend''.
''For good reason'' shouted Abby, a bit quieter this time '' your boyfriend was a traitor to your wretched Mossad; he tried to kill Tony!''
''So'' said Ziva simply and quietly and softly. This is not how a imagined this conversation going, I thought I could convince her to turn on ... him
Something snapped on Abby then, and she could not contain her anger. ''Do you even care. Do you! No you don't do you. Just because your boyfriend got killed you're like: oh maybe I should goad someone, oh, let's try Tony! But no, you can't do that Ms. Daveed. You can't ruin his life. You know what. I think you're just angry your MOSSAD boyfriend got his ass kicked by Tony. Even if you are, doesn't mean you have the right to kick him out!
Ziva tried to speak, but she was cut off: ''Get out Ziva; get out, asks someone else to get your evidence! '' Ziva turned and walked off toward the elevator, fuming.
''Oh, and don't make it Agent Gibbs either'' shouted Abby, just as she left Abby's earshot.
Location: Bullpen
''Hey Tim, can I speak to you in Gibbs's office?'' asked Tony.
Calling me by my real name must be serious thought Mcgee.
''Sure Tony I'd love to'' said Mcgee, and followed Tony to the elevator. Once they entered the elevator, Tony hit the emergency brake.
''I'm leaving Probie'' said Tony.
''Why'' said Mcgee.
''Ziva somehow managed to persuade Gibbs to kick me off the team, and now I have to leave'' replied Tony.
''Does she still hate you'' asked Mcgee delicately.
''Yes, and now she's made me leave my family'' said Tony, who burst into tears and hugged Mcgee.
''I never thought any of them would do something like that'' said Mcgee, trying to cover his anger at Ziva and Gibbs but not 100% succeeding.
''Have you told Abby'' asked Mcgee.
''Yes'' said Tony, pulling away, but still sobbing. ''I left her shouting at Ziva in her Lab'' said Tony smiling, attempting some to cheer himself up.
''I hate her now'' said Mcgee abruptly and dramatically.
''No Tim, don't'' said Tony miserably.
''No Tony, she can't do that, and Gibb's can but shouldn't... said McGee.
''I thought of him as my father sobbed Tony, and hugged Mcgee again.
5 minutes later, Tony stepped out in the Bullpen. Ziva was still missing, however Gibb's was there. Don't look up Gibbs, Don't look up! Begged Mcgee in his head. Gibbs looked up. DAMN thought Mcgee. ''Come on Tony, you don't want to look bad for Vance. '' said Mcgee. ''Your right probie'' sniffled Tony, and entered the Men's bathroom. ''Go probie'' whispered Tony ''Do your job'' he whispered even quieter. Mcgee turned, nodded, and walked to his desk. The whole time directing a look of Venom and hatred that Gibbs never thought he could ever produce; let alone direct at him what have I done thought Gibbs. But then what could I do, I couldn't give Ziva back to Eli, no, I made a difficult choice, but the right one...
Location: Autopsy.
''Hey Duck'' said Tony, walking in the Autopsy. ''Tony m'boy!'' greeted Ducky, whom noticed Tony.
''What's the matter?'' asked Ducky.
''Gibbs has kicked me off the team'' said Tony.
''Oh my, why would he-''.
''Ziva'' said Tony, speaking after Ducky trailed off.
''Oh no, do you need anything'' said Jimmy, walking in.
''No thanks guys, but thanks, hopefully I'll see you again'' said Tony, walking out.
''He's upset?'' asked Jimmy Palmer.
''Yep'' said Ducky sadly.
Location: Director Leon Vance's office
''Hello Director'' said Tony, sitting down at Vance's table.
'Hello Tony, and before we get any further, this conversation doesn't leave this room'' said Vance.
''So, who's going to be on my team'' said Tony.
''There is no time for that Tony, we have an emergency'' said Vance quickly.
''What's going on'' said Tony, now 100% serious.
''A new Terrorist cell of an unknown name has a Hydrogen Bomb, and is planning to attack an American Navy base; the only problem is we don't know which'' said Vance.
''You need me to find it and dispose of it'' said Tony quietly.
''Affirmative'' confirmed Director Vance.
''This is a specialised Mission, it involves uncover work, and perhaps some computer hack, as well as of course investigation and fighting'' said Vance, ''and thus too many people will arouse suspicion, you need to pick a partner and get this Bomb Agent DiNozzo''.
Tony stayed silent, so Vance spoke once more: ''what agent do you trust the most DiNozzo?''
Tony answered immediately (he didn't need to think about it) ''Agent Mcgee'' said Tony quickly. It used to be David, but now it never will be thought Tony.
Director Vance smiled Good choice Tony, He has skills which you don't need but could definitely make use of. Just needs combat training, but Tony can help with that. ''Go get Agent McGee Supervisionary Special Agent DiNozzo'' said Vance happily.
''Yes sir'' said Tony, and left the room. He walked down the steps toward the bullpen used by his former team; avoiding the gazes of Ziva, fully recovered from her bout with Abby, and Gibbs, who was upset at McGee's gaze at him earlier. Tony reached McGee's desk:
''Looks like you'll be seeing me a lot for a while Tim'' said Tony.
''Tony?'' asked Mcgee Must be serious thought Mcgee.
''Come with me Tim'' said Tony ''meeting with Vance'' whispered Tony.
'' Okay Tony'' said Mcgee, who got up and went with Tony. They both avoided stern gazes from Gibbs and Ziva.
''What is this about Special Agent DiNozzo'' shouted Gibbs.
'' It's Superpvisionary Special Agent DiNozzo Agent Gibbs'' Tony shouted back without turning around.
-''Agent Mcgee'' said Director Vance, as Tony enters the room with Mcgee.
''Director'' said Mcgee.
''I expect your wondering what this is all about'' stated Vance.
''I was wondering'' said Mcgee honestly.
''Supervisionary Agent DiNozzo'' requested Director Vance.
''A hydrogen bomb has been obtained by an unnamed terrorist cell, and they are planning to use it against one of our naval bases. It could potentially blow up a whole city'' stated Tony.
''You are the agent SAC DiNozzo trusts the most, so you will be the one to accompany him on this mission, is this okay with you'' said Vance, although you could tell it wasn't really a question.
''Yes Director'' answered Mcgee.
''Good, now I must arrange you a 'HQ' to work at; this mission is Classified and Top Secret'' said Director Vance
''Yes Director'' said Tony and Mcgee, sensing this was a dismissal.
''Oh, actually, do you mind working in the forensics lab, it will help you research'' asked Vance.
''No sir'' confirmed Tony.
''Remember-'' ''The mission is top secret, we can't tell Abby'' cut of Tony.
''Correct'' said Director Vance, surprised at Tony's knowledge, however quickly recovered: ''Go down to MS Scuito's Lab and I will call her and tell her the situation''
''Yes sir'' said Mcgee, and Tony and Mcgee left...
