Reflections of Hope: Crossover between CSI:NY and NCIS. Both teams of NCIS and the NYPD crime lab have one thing in common, Melanie Fischer. A woman whose own team is being targeted by someone who knows that she is connected to both Washington DC and New York City. Can both teams with the help of Melanie stop this person before either team loses one of their own?

Now I do not own any of the characters from CSI:NY or NCIS. However Melanie Fischer is of my own creation and I hope you learn to love her too. Her background with all the characters will be explained in later chapters. I also think that this installment is one of many with Special Agent Melanie Fischer.

Death of an NCIS agent

New York City

Melanie Fischer smiled as she left the only place she has considered home. It was nice to finally be back in the city, with her lifelong friends and of course the love of her life. Before she shut the door to his, no wait their apartment, she turned around.

"You know I love you right?" Don Flack said, as he smiled, adjusting the tie Mel has just fixed.

Melanie kept on smiling as Don smiled right back. "If I didn't know that, I would have gone straight back to DC and not here." She rolled her eyes, and shut the door she opened slightly to go kiss him again. " I love you too. Now both of us need to get going or both of our asses are gonna get fired."

He moved to encircle the red head in his arms. "What if I don't want to? I haven't seen you in three months and then you come and tell me you're pregnant? And then you have to fly off to DC?" She looked up at him and smiled.

"You knew what you were getting into when I left the city to go to Baltimore. Not my fault that my partner wanted to join NCIS." He mock glared at her. "Ok maybe it was but it was something I wanted to do. Now being undercover in foreign countries and pregnant, that's a different story. I had to come back, not just for my sanity but for our child's safety."

She pulled him tighter. "Then why do you have to go to DC so quickly? Is being pregnant the only reason why you got pulled from you're undercover assignment?" Melanie looked up at him, eyebrows raised. "I mean, does Vance even know you're pregnant? Considering you just told me yesterday, out of the blue, while I didn't know if you were coming back?"

Mel pulled away slightly from Don and sighed. "No, Vance does not know. Yet. I have no idea why he pulled me off of my assignment this early. Being pregnant might have had an advantage in this case."

He pulled his arms away and stood in front of her with his arms crossed. She sighed again. "I'm sorry I left the way I did. You almost died and Sam didn't even tell me. Yet again Mac didn't either. When I found out, I realized I needed to come back but couldn't bail out on my team. Then I found leads here in the US, I sent them instead of me. It was right after that the director called and I got pulled."

Don's stance softened and his hands dropped. He let out an exasperated sigh. " Ok, I understand. Go to the director and ask for a transfer here to the New York City NCIS office. That's all I ask."

Before she could answer, his cell phone rang. "Flack." He listened intently and frowned. "Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can, Mac." He hung up and looked apologetically at Melanie.

"It's ok. I need to get going to catch my flight anyhow." He reached forward and hugged her tightly, resting his face in her hair. He let go and opened the door for her and her one piece of luggage to head out.

"I love you." He said as he shut the door. Don and Melanie headed the elevator and got in right away. Don pressed the ground floor button and waited as the elevator took them both down to the entrance of his building. He kissed Mel quickly, and headed toward where his car is. The next sound made him turn around and smile.

"I love you too, Don. I'll come back this time I promise." She smiled as she headed out to the street to catch a cab to La Guardia. Don stood there, reveling in the moment. His cell phone soon interrupted that moment.

"Flack."

"It's Mac, I think you need to hurry up to this crime scene."

"Seriously, Mac do you have a life? You got there way too fast."

"Flack… usually you're here by now. What's up?"

"Had an unexpected visitor last night. Didn't exactly want to leave right away." He heard Mac laugh slightly. "Mac, the crime scene is only a few blocks away, I'll explain when I get there, alright?"

"Fine, Don. See you well now." Don hung the phone as he headed to the yellow tape in a building a few blocks down from his. He ducked under and saw Mac Taylor and Danny Mezzer standing over a body. As he got closer, he recognized the face. Mac realized he was standing there and moved to show the dead body.

Don took a sharp breath. " Is that…"

Mac nodded as he handed him the badge and identification that went with the body. "Andrew Stanley, NCIS."

Danny looked curiously at the two. "NCIS? Does he have anything to do with…"

Don cut him off. "Andrew was part of Melanie's undercover team. He was sent here on a lead on the suspicion of a new terrorist cell." Mac, Don and Danny looked down at the dead agent. Don leaned down and whispered to him. "Please tell me that Mel isn't in danger."

Mac stooped next to Don. "I take it your unexpected visitor was Melanie." He nodded. "And I take it that finding him is not good."

Don stood and sighed. "We've got a few calls to make, Mac and the first one being to the director of NCIS. He's gonna to need to know about this." He looked at Mac, who looked puzzled. "Which means I think I know why Mel was pulled out and that means we could all be in danger."
