Summery: We all know that Kensi loves to inform the team of odd ball facts. This even prompted Ray to give her the nick name of Wikipedia. Ok so maybe they only call her that in one ep but still Kensi is a walking encyclopedia of facts. What if she was super scary smart but didn't tell anyone. There isn't much Kensi isn't perfect at. This is a story of why she is this way.
BACKSTORY
Ten year old Kensi Blye sat in the Principles office between her parents. She didn't know why she was there and it scared her.
"Mr. and Mrs. Blye as you know we gave all of our students a recent IQ test."
"Was there something wrong with Kensi's test?" asked her mother.
"Oh no nothing was wrong in fact Kensi tested at the top range. Your daughter is very smart."
"What does that mean?" asked Donald.
"Well to start with we would like to give Kensi a more compressive test. This way we can best decide on the correct course of action."
Kensi had no real idea what they were talking about. She looked between her parents and the principle.
"When will she take this test?"
"We can have it ready on Saturday. The test takes five hours."
Two weeks after Kensi took this new test she was back sitting between her parents in the same office.
"Now we believe that Kensi has a phonemic Memory."
"Mom what does that mean?" asked Kensi quietly.
"It means you remember things better than anyone else. This makes you a very special person."
Kensi soon learned she would have a special consoler to help her manage her gift as the principal called it. She was also put in a special class for smart students. When her friends found out they all made fun of her. They called her a nerd and a freak. Kensi hated this new class.
Over time Kensi learned to keep quiet about how smart she really was. She spent all her free time with her dad or in her room reading. At sixteen Kensi was fluent in twelve languages. She could rebuild a car engine blindfolded. Kensi could shoot any weapon put in her hands and was a black belt in four different fighting styles.
The one thing Kensi didn't have was friends.
At eighteen Kensi was accepted to every college she applied to. She really didn't know which school to choose.
"Mom I want to take a year off."
"You want to do what?"
"Take a year off and figure out what I want to do."
"Kensi you need to pick a school."
"I will in a year."
"No you will choose now."
Kensi was sick of being told what to do. A week later when her mom was at work Kensi packed her stuff into her car and left. Her dad had died in action the year before and Kensi had no other ties except her mother. If she had her way Kensi would be a Doctor. Kensi wanted her own life for once and she was not going to stop till she found where she belonged.
Hetty Lang was known for finding the right people for the right jobs. For years she tracked potential agents. This day Hetty was tracking one Kensi Blye. The young woman was currently in Los Angeles and living out of her car. She was working at a little shop near the beach that was across from a little coffee shop. Hetty sipped at her tea and watched Kensi. The girl was way too smart to be homeless. What Hetty knew was she had left home at eighteen and never went back. Hetty had traced her across the country for the last five years. Today she would make her offer.
Kensi was exhausted. She went for a swim after work then used one of the outdoor showers to wash her hair. Today was her last day at the shop as she had been told that she just wasn't a good fit. Kensi was never a good fit.
Walking back to where her car was parked Kensi noticed a very tiny woman standing next to it.
"Miss Blye."
"How do you know my name?"
"I make it my business to know everything." Hetty said. "I'd like to buy you dinner and talk to you about a job offer."
Kensi was starving so she said yes and followed the woman half a block to a nice café.
After they ate dinner and then Hetty pushed a folder across to her.
"I would like you to come work for me."
Kensi opened the folder. "NCIS."
"Yes. I run a very special team that is involved in undercover work. I could use someone like you on my team."
Kensi looked at the amount she would be paid. "That's a lot of money."
"You get hazard pay." Hetty smiled at her. "The job can be very dangerous."
"What do I need to do?"
"Simply sign the papers. You will be sent to DC for some training then return here in two months."
Kensi took the pen and signed her name. Hetty handed her a plane ticket. "You leave in the morning."
"You knew I'd say yes?"
Hetty only smiled.
Two months later Kensi stepped off a plane at LAX. Hetty was there to meet her.
"Welcome home Miss Blye."
"Thanks Hetty."
"Now how would you like to see your new home?"
"Lead the way."
The first day in DC Kensi had been welcomed with open arms. She loved the training and had made friends. People that didn't care how smart she was or how good she was at things. Kensi had found where she belonged at last.
The apartment was close to the office and Kensi loved it. Hetty gave her a paper with where the team worked out of.
"Now with this job you will need to keep your personal life separate. No one can know what you do or were you work."
Kensi nodded.
"I've spent my entire life pretending to be someone else."
"Then this will be the perfect job for you my dear."
Hetty left and Kensi got unpacked. She went to bed early not knowing what would happen the next day.
Kensi pulled up and parked outside an old warehouse. She looked around and shrugged. This was the address. She guessed that a secrete group needed a secrete base.
A young man stood looking at her. "You Kensi?"
"Yep."
"Hey I'm Eric Beal. It's my first day too."
Kensi smiled and together they made their way into the building. "I'm in charge of the computers."
Eric and Kensi took the old elevator up into the building. Eric took her down a long hall and opened a door. Kensi was shocked. The room was filled with the most high Tech computers she had ever seen.
She met her team. G Callen, Sam Hanna and Mike Renko. She liked them all right off.
Within days Kensi was loving the new job. Every day she got to be someone else. No one knew how smart she was. It was part of the deal she made with Hetty.
"So G what do you think of the new girl? Asked Sam one day.
"Well she's a bit of a know it all, and seems a bit stuck up but it's most likely fear. She'll break in soon enough."
"I sure hope so."
