A/N: I just wanted to warn you that I'm trying to get this story into Season 11 (episode 2) because I want to create an atmosphere in which Ziva could be returning after a secret mission ordered by Vance. In order to do that I've just implied the days, weeks and months has passed for team Gibbs.

As expected, what Vance ordered to do was done, Gibbs was leading a new team, Tony was working in a ship as Communications Officer, McGee had a geek team to lead, Ziva was working for her Dad at Mossad and Abby was heartbroken because she missed the old team so much she was about to lose her mind.

Other than that, they were just surviving to this new era of ex-team Gibbs. McGee was getting used to lead a team, his geeks called him BOSS which made him feel proud, Tony was bored to death, Ziva was getting into trouble as usual at Mossad because her father was always putting her in a position of jeopardy and Gibbs was annoyed with his new team since they were all probies.

A couple of months passed by and suddenly Gibbs saw the news at ZNN when there was a terrorist attack in Morocco and got worried when Ziva appeared in an ambulance gurney being attended by paramedics, because of a bomb. He got downstairs where McGee was located and asked to locate Ziva immediately, he did was his former boss asked and he finally got her on the line. Both talked and Gibbs was glad she was ok and without injuries. That day, he decided to confront Vance about the separation of his team and that's when he confessed his true intentions about Gibbs' probies.

A couple of months passed and Gibbs was able to reunite his team, finally the mole was located and apprehended so they didn't need to be separate anymore. Ziva came back from Israel, Tony came back from his ship, McGee left the geeks downstairs and everything got back to normal.

After what happened to the mole and how Vance trusted Gibbs, he started to trust in Vance too, although Mike Franks was always warning Gibbs to nor trust at all in Vance, his gut always leaded him to think that Vance could be everything but a traitor, so for his convenience it was better to have Vance by his side than against him.

In the meantime, Jenny Shepard was being installed in a Medical facility managed by the FBI, as Vance requested, she needed to recuperate if she ever get that chance and if she was surrounded by people who knew her, it might became anxious and decrease every chance to get better. Bit by bit she started to recuperate consciousness, her body was too weak to be able to even breathe, she was connected to monitors to help her breathe and stay alive, she opened her big blue eyes and two nurses were beside her, they instructed to keep calm and wait for the doctor to see what to do next.

The usual questions were asked…

Dr. Greene: "Ma'am? Do you know what happened?"

Jenny just stared at the doctor, like she wasn't understanding what he was saying.

Dr. Greene: "Miss Sullivan, you've been through a lot lately"

Jenny kept staring at him only closing her eyes and opening them again.

Dr. Greene observed her and noticed she was blinking which was something to stablish communication with the woman who came from the death.

Jenny kept blinking to get the doctor's attention, inside her head was a mess going on, she started to feel the pain, she wasn't sure why she was being called Miss Sullivan, she couldn't remember her name but one thing was sure, her last name wasn't Sullivan.

The doctor just tried to make her feel comfortable, he told her to calm down, that he would remove the tube after a couple of days because her breathing wasn't the best under the circumstances, that he was going to be there for her recovery and to try and get some rest.

The doctor ordered painkillers for her in a moderate dosage because she was shot 5 times and that was a lot for a human being. Day by day, she was being attended by the same doctor, the physical wounds were healing but the emotional and mental ones were the most difficult to heal. The wellbeing of Jenny was going to take a lot of time, physical and psychological therapy, besides the fact that she would be locked in that facility without seeing someone familiar.

At the Navy Yard…

Days turned into weeks and weeks into months and so on… Since Jenny's departure it's been 5 years of good and very bad things for team Gibbs.

At the medical facility…

Jenny has been attached to machines in an induced coma to let her body heal, five gunshots were something serious and even the surgery was successful it was really slight the chance of survival, after Dr. Greene got the results he needed he decided to wake her up as slowly as possible, now was the time to check her consciousness and start both physical and psychological therapy.

She was getting healthier and healthier in a physical point of view, after the induced coma. At the beginning, she had trouble breathing for a while but when she gained weight and strength she felt better. Although, she was in a state of mind in which she had moderate amnesia, she remembered her father as a High Officer of the Navy, she remembered being well educated and classy, she remembered her mother, she knew she was dead but she remembered things of her childhood, however, the details were blurry.

For a start she couldn't remember her name, she responded at the name of Josephine Sullivan because she wanted to investigate why those people were calling that name, she didn't remember her own but she knew it was not Josephine. She started her sessions with Dr. Cranston, she was assigned by Director Vance to treat Jenny and try to help her find her way back to what she used to be. For some reason, Jenny was reluctant to those sessions, physical therapy was exhausting but at the end of her boring days it was nice to have somebody to talk to and mostly if those talks would lead her to find herself again.
