It was just another day in Washington D.C the sun was just peaking over the horizon, and most people were on their way to work. Abby, the forensic specialist of NCIS (Navel Criminal Investigative Service) was asleep in her lab after trying tirelessly to decrypt a computer for Gibbs investigation, but it wasn't going well. The guy who placed the many levels place exactly 21 levels with each level more time consuming. With McGee's help she could get though around six and during the wee hours of the morning she cracked another three.

Abby yawned as she felt the sunlight pouring into her lab's 'bullet resistant' glass windows. She gave Bart (her stuffed hippo that farts) a tight squeeze. In her hand within the next three seconds was her drink of choice Caf-Pow. Abby then walked over to her Major Mass Spec,

"Major Mass Spec, I know you were being stubborn last night, but I need you to work. We have a case for Gibbs! Now look at the substances."

Abby stopped talking to her machine after feeling that she gave an adequate pep talk. Then it was back to cracking codes. After a few minutes the elevator dinged, which Abby thought was probably McGee coming down to help her keep cracking codes, but it was only Jeff the mailroom guy.

"Hey Abby, I got a package for you."

"Thanks Jeff." Abby said gingerly taking the package, walking over to the table in her lab, and carefully slicing off the tape.

Inside the cardboard box was a black velvet bag. Keeping the bag shut was two woven pieces of string that were also black in color. Abby being quite cautious, and carefully allowed the contents to empty out onto the table which revealed its peculiar contents.

Five stones. Each in the colors of the stones were different the colors were dark blue/black, fiery red, pure white, mossy green with specks of dark brown, and a very bright yellow.

"Now what do we have here?" Abby thought out loud. She let her finger hover above the stones until she carefully picked up the dark black/blue stone. She held it by only her fingertips, but then placed it in her palm.

*Flash*

Abby held her stone and felt rushing water around her. Waves crashed on her head and winds brought up larger waves. No land was in her sight. She only could plunge. Her hands led her body dive into the rushing water after a few feet she stopped. All she could think was of drowning here and now, but she took a gulp of water. She kept a steady heart rate.

Abby went even deeper, or well she tried until the water thrust her only a beach's shore. Her eyes blinked back the water until she saw a figure that looked pale, but lifelike.

"Abby." The person began and then Abby recognized the voice, Kate Todd.

"Kate?" Abby began still on the sandy beach unable to move.

"I don't have much time, I will keep it simple you need be careful. These stones give the person who absorbed the powers control over what powers that the stone had. Show me your stone." Kate said this with no joking tone in her voice. Abby showed Kate the stone, as it dark blue/black form.

"Kate why are you here?" Abby asked still tying to understand.

"Abby I can't tell you not now…but I can tell you that the stone you have gives you power over one of the four main elements. I need you to remember what happened before you came here on the beach."

"I was underwater and breathing, the water brought me here to you." Abby said,

"I have to go Abby and so do you. Remember one thing your team must choose a stone." Then Kate faded into the background and Abby felt a small tear come out of her eye.

*End Flash*

The NCIS forensic lab surrounded Abby, with her sitting on the floor a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Kate I miss you…" Abby said holding onto her stone and putting it into her lab coat pocket.

The elevator door opened to McGee, "Abby," She turned revealing her face with watery eyes and a tear rolling down her cheek. "Oh Abby, what's wrong? What are these?" Tim said looking at all the stones with four left on the table. She waved his hand over the stones feeling a slight calling from the very bright yellow stone. He picked it up in his hand and suddenly collapsed on the lab's floor.

Abby barely was able to keep him from falling and began talking to his unconscious stat,

"McGee, I saw Kate," Abby paused," These stones, you chose one. I hope you chose the right one. I need to test something." Abby said propping McGee in her chair and started filling a huge bucket of water, large enough for her head to fit in.
