A/N Okay we have Tibbs, what would McGee/Kort be, do they have a name? Tort, Mort TreGee? Is there one or any suggestions.

Shepard just stared at the two men; this couldn't be happening. Jethro was meant to be her omega. He may act like he was in charge, but she could see that he liked it. Once she'd got her career on track and seeing him again, her life didn't feel as fulfilled. He was mistaken about what DiNozzo was to him; the blood test would prove that he wasn't an Alpha. Kort was a real shock; he was bonded with McGee of all people. They were complete opposites, and there was no way a monster like that would treat anyone with love and respect.
Gibbs and Kort just stared at each other all they wanted was their omegas with them safe and sound. This was one of the few times that they both were in complete understanding between the two of them. They would do whatever was needed to get Tony and Tim back. If anyone tried to stop them whoever it was wouldn't live to regret it.
"Agent Kort, this is an NCIS matter, we'll keep you updated." Shepard smiled at him.
Kort glared coldly at her. "I'm not going anywhere. I will find Agent McGee with or without your help."
As much as he hated the other man, they were in the same position. The CIA agent had contacts that may come in handy. There was a possibility that some bodies that might have to be disposed of. Gibbs had no guilt about what he would do to protect the man meant for him. He'd already lost Shannon, and there was no way he was going to lose Tony. It wasn't something he could live through.
"I think it's best if Kort works with me on this case."
"I agree," Kort added as he managed to keep the surprise off his face. Being undercover a lot did help hide his emotions.
The Director stared at the two men, this was something that she'd never expected, them working together. Anger started to rise, if those two idiots hadn't been kidnapped, things would be different. Gibbs wouldn't assume that he had an omega. They would do anything to get them back. There had to be a way to stop DiNozzo coming back, even if that included the loss of McGee. She could then support him while he mourned. He would see how not having to be in charge would be a beautiful thing. It was time to get rid of her visitors; there were plans to be made.
"Very well, keep me in the loop Agent Gibbs. You'll need to get tested, just to prove that you are in fact an alpha. If you don't, there'll be nothing on file." She knew that he wouldn't go there it was too important. It would give her some leeway to keep Gibb and DiNozzo apart.
Gibbs just stared at her, and she started to shift uneasily. It was clear that their dear director was up to something. Jenny had made it clear that she wanted the two of them to be together. It was something that never was going to happen, even if this thing with Tony hadn't happened.
"I agree, we better go now." He smirked at the shock on her face. "Kort if you haven't been tested you should come with me."
Kort wanted to argue and demand they get on with the case. "Sure I'll come. Goodbye Director Shepard." With that, both men nodded and left.
Jenny grabbed her phone as soon as the door closed behind them. There was a lot of work to do and in little time. It was a good thing that she had many unsavoury contacts that owed her. Now was time to collect. Staying in front of two determined agents was not going to be easy.

"Gibbs, what the hell is going on? I want to go and search for my omega. I don't have time for this crap."
"She's up to something. I don't trust Ziva, so I'm going to get Balboa to start looking into footage etc. at the hospital. We need to get those blood tests done; it will give us a little leeway when we find them. Just in case, people get 'hurt' during the rescue. We also can't be separated from our bonded. These are things we'll need in the future. You saw her face when I agreed; she thought that we wouldn't do it. Which meant that she could've kept DiNozzo and me apart? She would've done the same to you if it caused additional problems while she played these games of hers."
"She wants you that much? I don't see her as wanting to be an omega?"
"Jenny doesn't see herself as the omega."
Kort just looked at him for a moment and then started to laugh. "Shepard's delusional if she thinks that's going to be you."
"I hate to think what she'll do in that 'delusional' state to keep me apart from Tony. Who else would be collateral damage?"
"If Tim is hurt in any way because of her, she's next, and no one is going to stop me," Kort growled.
"I wouldn't stop you; I would help."
Just as the two men moved to leave a woman rushed towards them and glanced over at the Director's door.
"Agent Gibbs, if I hear anything I'll let you know. I've heard her talk about you and what she would do if anyone 'got in the way'. She didn't realise I could hear her." Cynthia whispered.
"Thank you, Cynthia, anything you could do would be appreciated."
"Tony and Tim have always been good to me. I don't want anything to happen to them. Your job is dangerous enough without having to worry about having problems within NCIS itself."
As they walked away, Kort frowned. "Do you trust her?"
"Yes, she is one of the good ones. Cynthia hates the way Shepard uses her sexuality, blackmail etc. to get what she wants. She'll come through, let's go and see Ducky."
"Why are we going to see your ME? We don't need him now."
"Cynthia can't keep phoning us; it will be too suspicious. We need someone who can talk to her casually. I also get him to talk to Balboa. I wouldn't be surprised if she had spies on the floor keeping her up to date with what I am doing day to day."
"So David and Sciuto?"
"They're not helping." Gibbs shook his head as he thought about who they could and couldn't trust.
"I thought you were all friends."
"Since all this mutated crap happened they've changed. Ziva has an obsession with Tony. Abby's always had this on/off thing with McGee."
"Jesus you have to be kidding me. How the hell are you not only managing to work together but solve cases?"
"Before this, there were no permanent relationships on the horizon, and we're also just that good." Gibbs chuckled. "We'll contact Fornell as well; two federal agents have been kidnapped. If I can help it, I only want basic info going through NCIS."
"What happens when we get them back? Things will be different for you, are you going to be able to work together? This whole overprotective thing that we're feeling…" Kort hated feeling so out of control; this wasn't him.
"I honestly don't know, but I'll retire if I have to. I want to make sure he's happy. I've lost someone I cared for before. I'm going to make sure I'll do what I can to never make him regret being bonded to someone like me. What about you?"
"I have no idea; I can't see him being happy in the CIA, can you? It's something we'll have to discuss when my little omega is safe."
"I think Tony might kill me if I called him 'my little omega.' It would be funny to try it, just to see the expression on his face though."

"I think we're going to make some serious money from these guys Trevor."
"Oh yeah, especially the more masculine one, he doesn't look like what people imagine an omega to look like. Alphas are going to want to try and tame him. They're going to go out just to show that piece of eye-candy on their arms." Marcus chuckled; the two of them hadn't started to go through the change yet. Every time other people start to change, they head to that place. They would then bribe someone within the hospital. There was always someone who wanted extra money. They'd get a place nearby so they could be there immediately when an omega was found. It was the quickest way to make money. It would change when all this became more mainstream, and the laws changed, but until then they would carry on the way they were.
"Marcus, I think they're in heat. Look at how they're sweating; they're turned one." Trevor chuckled. He watched as the two men winced in pain as they moved.
"They're in a pre-bond." They're read everything they could on alphas and omegas; it was the best time for the best prices. "They've just had their tests, how the fuck did they already find alpha's? The money is going up on these guys."
"What? Why?"
"Those arrogant buyers are going to be thrilled to wipe away a pre-bond. It's going to be such a turn on to take someone else's property. We're going to do a private auction. As soon as they sense the heat, it's going to be a bidding frenzy. Let's get a place sorted and make sure security is the best it can be. We have to make sure they're safe for whoever ends up owning them."
"Easy money," Trevor muttered hoping that is sounded believable. Deep inside something pulled at him. He wanted to go and check on them, to make sure they were okay. He gritted his teeth and stood there. It wasn't the first time he felt this, he'd never told Marcus, but he was changing. It seemed like he would be an alpha, he'd always thought he was a horrible person, look at what he did. It was why these feelings seemed strange to him. Only bonded alphas became protective over their omegas. Why did he want to protect them?

Tony winced as he moved to try and get comfortable. Thanks to Abby he knew all the symptoms of a heat. She'd been fascinated by the subject and not just through the scientific aspect. She found it all so romantic. He knew they both were Tim had, from what he could see, the same symptom as him. Hiding this kind of thing was easier for him than it was for his teammate. The plague and the months following showed him how he could deal with pain as well as hide it. He was in pain a lot longer than anyone at NCIS knew, well everyone but Gibbs. It was clear in those blue eyes whenever Tony had been in pain. His thoughts were starting to fade, and he couldn't seem to concentrate. There had to be something he could do.
"Tim?"
"What's going on?" Teeth chattered as he asked. How could he be so cold, yet feel as if he were burning up at the same time?
"Didn't you listen to our lovely forensic expert whenever she talked about this stuff?"
"Oh god, if I'm an omega, I'm in heat aren't I?" As he moved roped rubbed his wrist and he screamed out in pain. "Do you hurt like this as well?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Does this mean, what I think it does?"
"If you're talking about the fact that we've already met are alphas then yes it does."
Being stuck with a specific CIA agent came to his mind, the soft look on the usually hard and angry face. "Who is yours? If you don't mind me asking?"
Tony didn't want to answer, but keeping their minds occupied might help. "Gibbs." He still could feel the tingling in his fingers where they had touched.
"Boss is your alpha?" Tim stared in horror, but that look faded and became thoughtful. "That actually makes sense. You've always desperately wanted to please him, more than any of us."
He wanted to argue, but he couldn't because it was true. "What about you probie?" All he heard was a mumble. "Could you repeat that a little louder this time?"
"Kort, Trent Kort." Tim pouted and waited for a reaction.
"As in the CIA agent, the man who causes us problems whenever he can, that Trent Kort?" Tony tried to keep it in, but couldn't and burst out laughing.
"It's not that funny."
"I'm sorry, how do you know it's him." Tony managed to gasp out.
"When we were trapped together, I was so terrified, and he was so nice and kind. When he spoke his voice gave me shivers and not in a bad way. It also made me feel…"
"It's warmth and safety. Its need, want and love all rolled together. Sorry, that sounded ridiculous." Tony whispered as his face warmed up even more in embarrassment.
"No, that's exactly how it felt. I couldn't put it into words."
Both moaned again as the pain built up. Tony knew they had to get out of here before the heat became too bad and they couldn't concentrate. He looked around the plain room there was nothing in there apart from the two chairs and a camera. Their kidnappers hadn't come in while they were awake. His belt and shoes had been removed. It was clear that these guys were not amateurs. At the moment he couldn't think of any escape that would actually work.

Wendy sat at her desk and worked on her latest story. She was just collating information at the moment. It was a look at alphas and omegas. Just then her cell rang, she picked it up, and as she listened a smile appeared on her face. It turned out Tony was an omega. It was time to use some of her contacts to find out what he was up to at the moment. As soon as Wendy could, it was time to head back out to see and win him over.
