They Remember, They Want, Then Things Happen
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story itself. "This is a completely original idea that I came up with all by myself." There's a Tony DiNozzo quote for you. But yeah, all characters go to CBS, even though I am a little mad at them for not making a new episode in two or three weeks, but there's new one tomorrow! Anyway. Here's the story.
She remembers-
She remembers their old partnership, the one that is slowly coming back. Where every day they put their lives on the line for each other. They would flirt and laugh, and they were happy.
She remembers the moment all the good feelings she had ever had for him leave, and replaced by hatred, as soon as she walked in to her old apartment, with him on the floor, gasping for air and Michael next to him, unconscious.
She remembers knocking him to the ground in Israel, not wanting to believe he was telling the truth, although knowing he was. She did not want to admit Michael had used her, she refused.
She remembers talking to Gibbs, telling him to leave her in Israel, for she could not trust Tony anymore. She remembers the events after that, leading to her trapped in a torture camp in North Africa. She remembers every whip, scratch, and burn. She remembers wanting, needing so badly to die. And yet a part of her was still clinging to hope, that her true friend and family would save her. Her NCIS family. She tried to push away that hope, because it would never happen. She remembers hating herself for giving up everything that meant anything to her.
She remembers being dragged to room where she was first brought to. And being caught by surprise when the bag over her head was pulled off, and revealed Tony himself. She sensed McGee behind her. They had come for her, and she did not deserve it. She remembers talking with him, and even though he had been tortured as well, the same sarcastic, smart ass-y Tony she had once known. She would never know what to say to him. She remembers him telling her they had a plan. And then she remembers her capturer being shot in the head himself. She remembers seeing Gibbs after turning a corner, and she saw McGee and DiNozzo's faces thankfully light up, and she was relieved, but also a bit sad, these people did something she would never deserve, and she could never repay them.
She vaguely remembers the applause when walking back into the squad room. She remembers Abby's tight hug, but mostly she remembers Tony's gaze on her. It was a look of relief, wonder, and longing. She couldn't look him in the eye.
She remembers a week later, getting screamed at by Abby, saying she needs to talk to Tony. She remembers talking to Gibbs twice, the second time finally gaining his trust again. She remembers talking to Tony in the bathroom, apologizing for everything, saying she would always trust him from now on. She remembers the light kiss on the cheek she gave him, wishing she had the guts to make it on the lips.
After that she remembers things slowly becoming back to normal, with the jokes and the flirting. And now, she wants.
A/N: Whattya think? Kinda popped in my head, I thought why not give it a shot. Should I keep going? If I did, next would be He Remembers, and on to She Wants.
