A/N: this will include a few characters from NCIS once in a while during the story but not really a crossover just yet
-on the plane ride to DC-
Deeks wakes up to hear as someone is talking behind him and look to see his team talking and slips on his IPod until Jorge walks over and sits down in front of him and hands him some coffee, "So Deeks how did you get involved in this case anyways?"
He shrugs and runs a hand through his shaggy hair, "My second OP with LAPD we ran into the Cardosa brothers and tried to shut them down and nothing."
"Fornell said you just became NCIS? But how come you are leading this then?"
He nods turning to keep his headache at bay, "I had been with LAPD for 4 years and then became liaison for LAPD and NCIS and finally decided to switch to NCIS."
He sighs and pulls out a picture of him and a girl, "That's my cousin Emma. She was 18 when she met Stan Cardosa and we found her body a month later. Family?"
Deeks pulls out a picture of the team, "Not really except for my team back in LA. You?"
He shakes his head, "My older brother and sister and both my parents were killed in a car accident 20 years ago."
Mark looks back at them, "So your the leader of our team and been an agent a few days? Great going to have a rookie watch this."
Deeks shakes his head trying to ignore him, "I have worked with NCIS best team for the last 4 years and know how to handle hard things."
Daniel and Mark stand up which makes Jake and Ryan stand between the groups, "What makes you think can lead a team like this?" Daniel hissed.
Deeks shakes his head, "I was there before he went underground 4 years ago and the reason he has that scar across his face. I lost two people that had been working with for 4 months back then and barely came back alive and know the compound better then anyone."
Jorge pulls Deeks away and sighs, "If going to do this need to get along and not try and kill each other."
Daniel groans and stares at him, "You ever been shot and/or tortured? Because that's what they do if they catch you and your alive."
"Both a few times," he goes back to listening to his IPod.
...
They land a hour later and Deeks walks into NCIS headquarters and into a conference room realizing where they were, "Why are we in the Navy Yard?"
Director Vance comes in the room and passes around coffee, "Just somewhere to group and then head off Agent Deeks."
They shake hands, "Nice to see you too Vance."
Vance sighs and looks around, "My office Deeks."
Deeks follows him to the office and see Gibbs standing there, "You two know each other?"
They nod at each other and shake hands, "Yeah met a few times over the past few years though."
Vance nods and sighs deciding to let it go for now, "I am not to happy about sending you off to lead that team but since you know more about the Cardosa bunch then most of the agents combined in the FBI that makes you the best to run and lead them to the target at hand."
Gibbs shakes his head hoping that the OP went better then he heard the last few went, "Just be careful out there and better come back in one piece."
"What Gibbs going to miss..." Gibbs slaps the back of his head. "What was that for?"
"I was meaning come back or Hetty is going to kill Leon and Fornell for letting you go on this and Kensi will be devastated."
"Just if something does happen make sure they know."
He nods and pulls him into a hug, "Be careful out there and wont have to break her heart."
"Thanks Vance for giving me a chance to finish this."
He shakes his hand, "At least can do and watch out for yourself and the team and need something call and keep in contact."
Deeks walks back to the conference room, "So ready to get this started."
"We can head to our hotel and start from there," Jorge said tossing Deeks set of keys and they head outside and find three Yukon's with tinted windows.
Vance comes outside, "You can have SUV's or the Chargers."
Deeks looks over the vehicles, "I want a Charger."
Dan shakes his head, "How about 3 Chargers and 3 SUV's?"
Vance nods and tosses them each keys, "Make sure to check in when you are suppose to and Jorge knows how to disable the GPS on those cars just in case need to but that's under no circumstances to happen unless dire need to be done."
The ride is silent as their all in their own world trying to get ready and after a while Deeks is the first one to pull up to their hotel and puts his sunglasses on top of his head and head to the front office, "Good afternoon can I help you?" An old lady asked.
He smiles at the women, "Yes rooms under Tom Farminor."
She looks in the computer and finds the name and reservation, "Yes 3 rooms with 2 doubles and Wi-Fi and Cable Tv all paid for up to doesn't say. We have room and maid service and call when you would like it or just leave the Do Not Disturb sign on the door if don't want anything that day."
He takes the keys from her and walk outside as the others pull up and they grab their bags, "Jorge and me share room and then you split the other two. Meet in 30."
They head to their rooms and Jorge takes the bed by the door and sets his bags down, "You okay? Seem a bit tired."
Deeks nods and sets his bags down and grabs his laptop from one of the bags, "Just hard. I haven't been deep undercover with them for years and cost me two partners that been with since I had started with LAPD the last time and barely made it out of there alive."
"Said you had been working with best NCIS team in LA would that be Callen and his team?"
He raises an eyebrow wondering how the guy knew his team, "How you know them?"
Jorge smirks as he remembers back years, "Nell is one of my best friends since we were kids and recognized her in the picture."
Deeks chuckles at the thought, "Nell is a good intelligence analyst and not sure who she's crushing on more your team leader or Eric?"
"Wait she's crushing on them both?"
He chuckles to himself as remember the other day when she was bascially being subtially hit on by Callen and Eric was making no effort to hide the flirting, "Eric likes her and pretty sure so does Callen but he wont admit it and she wont make a move on either of them."
"Nell has always be shy when it comes to guys that she likes and not sure if they like her back."
He shakes his head, "She still is but let's get some sleep and talk in a while."
Kensi looks up as her new partner walks in the bullpen and Hetty comes over, "Mr. James Ranger this is Senior agents G Callen and Sam Hanna. Junior agent Kensi Blye who will be your partner. Your technical analysist Eric Beale and intelligence analyst Nell Jones."
He shakes hands with them all and stops at Nell and looks her over which doesn't go unnoticed by Callen or Sam, "Nice to meet you all."
Nell shakes his hand and stands next to Callen getting a bad vibe from the guy, "Ms. Jones why don't you show him around?" Hetty asked.
She nods, "Sure let's get started and can put prints in system for the building."
A/N: James Ranger is the person I made up to replace Deeks as Kensi partner
