NCIS/ Dark Angel crossover- kinda

Hey you guys! This is just something I needed to try. I'm not sure if it might be leading anywhere, and it sure doesn't make much sense, starting with the time setting. I just needed to get it out of my head anyway. Let's just say the Dark Angel storyline took place around 2000, or the NCIS around 2025, whichever you prefer.

Let's just imagine for a moment that Tony DiNozzo knew Max Guevara pretty much like Logan Cale knew Max Guevara.

Give it a shot!


When Tony Met Max

Chapter 1

„Come on, Kate. I was just kidding! You don't look much older than 25." Tony gave her one of his trademark grins, aware of the fact that she was one of few women who seemed to be able to resist it- even if it was hard to believe.

"Safe it, Tony."

"I never meant to hurt you, I'm a nice guy underneath all this…"

"…immature act you put on? Yeah, right." Kate stepped closer to him, he could smell her perfume. She almost touched him. "I can put up with a lot from you, DiNozzo. But you know what, it would be nice if I could actually believe that there is more about you- but you never ever gave me cause to, alright? To me it really seems like this is all there is to you." Kate kept her eyes fixed on him, ready to respond to every possible line to insult her he would come up with next. Only there was nothing. His eyes had wandered from hers and followed something that was behind her. For a moment she lost her composure. Would this guy ever do what she expected from him? Had he changed his tactics? There had to be a reason for this act… "Tony, what the hell…"

He completely ignored her, almost shoving her aside when he took a step forward. "Max." His voice lacked all the teasing it usually possessed.

At hearing a female voice Kate turned around to see a beautiful, slim brunette with long, curly hair and big brown eyes standing there. She wore tight blue jeans that rode low on her hips and a leather jacket.

"What are you doing here?" Tony sounded utterly confused now. He bit his lower lip, running his hand nervously through his hair.

"I…I don't know."

Kate looked from one person to the other, they both seemed to have forgotten that other people were in the room.

"I see." Tony stood up straighter. "I've got work to do." He turned around harshly and stumbled rather than walked back to his desk, sinking down in his chair. Kate assumed that he would not have been able to keep standing another second. She had never seen her self-confident co-worker rattled like this. And all because of a woman? She shook her head in disbelief.

"Tony? Please." The young woman took a step closer, her eyes filled with fear and desperation. Kate started to feel sorry for her. Whatever it was, something bothered her.

"What?" The furious scream pierced through the air and Kate turned her head back to where her friend now stood, his hands leaning on his desk. His chair had slammed into the drawers behind him, underlining the question with a loud crash-sound.

"I…I need your help. I didn't know where else to go, I…Please. Listen to me." Max swallowed hard.

"No! No, Max! I'm not gonna listen to you! Forget it!" With that he grabbed his jacket and stormed past the two women, almost running into Gibbs and spilling his boss's precious coffee on his way to the exit.

"What the hell is the matter with DiNozzo?"

"Morning, boss." Kate took a deep breath.

"What's going on?" His gaze fell on the young stranger standing in his bullpen, looking like she was about to cry.

"Guess he isn't too happy about seeing me," Max admitted, trying to force a smile on her face.

"I'll go find him." Kate stated, dropping the file she had been carrying the whole time on her desk. "Be right back."

"Are you okay, miss?" Gibbs asked, uncharacteristically worried.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine. Guess I already knew this was going to happen."

"Then why did you come? DiNozzo really isn't worth crying over, you know," Gibbs tried to ease the tension.

"I need his help." Max whispered. "I really do."

I know Max is out of character right now, but it's an extreme situation…and it's my story:)
