Disclaimer: Still sadly I don't own NCIS just Pierce.

Abby's at her computers fiddling with the tox screen for Harrison's team and watching her new assistant out of the corner of her eyes when she thought she wasn't looking. The woman was now wearing a white lab coat like Abby's and walking around the laboratory as if she were familiarizing herself to everything.

"So what do I call you?" Abby asked, breaking the silence that has permeated the room. Miss Pierce halted by the evidence table, angling her body to see the forensic scientist better.

"Excuse me?"

"What do I call you? I feel ridiculous calling you 'Miss Pierce' if that even is your real name. So what do I call you?" The woman smirked a very Gibbs lopsided smirk causing Abby to wonder if they were somehow related.

"I have quite a few names. Just call me Pierce."

"I'm Abby." They nodded at each other and resumed what they were doing before. Around noon that day, Pierce noticed that the tense, young Goth was looking sort of drained. It reminded the secret bodyguard of her own forensic scientist back at work. He always had to have his red bull or he didn't seem to function properly.

They both heard the sound of the elevator doors opening and Pierce cautiously went to the door. Coming towards her was an average sized man with marine cut silver hair. In his hands were a big cup printed with the name 'Caf-Pow' and a Styrofoam cup of what smelt like coffee. She noticed that he had a gun holstered to his waist. He wasn't looking up so she couldn't really see his face.

"Freeze" She ordered, using her Sergeant Major tone. The man's head shot up as he stopped walking.

"Pierce, Relax its just Gibbs." grumbled Abby, annoyed that she hasn't been able to get her drink yet. The two stared at each other. Ice blue eyes meeting angry ocean ones. What shocked Abby was that Gibbs was the one to look away first.

"It's alright Abby. I know the drill." He slowly set the drinks on the ground so the woman blocking the entryway could see. Then opened his blazer to show he was getting out his ID and badge, handing it to her. She took it, looking at the photo and back.

"Supervisory Special Agent L.J. Gibbs." She stated, handing it back to him obviously content. "I'm still going to have to ask you to relieve yourself of your weapons sir." To say Gibbs was impressed was something. He took out his SIG from the side holster and his knife from his ankle holster. Kicking them both to her with his feet.

"Okay, you can come in now." Gibbs picked up the drinks and entered.

"Finally!" Shouted Abby, snatching her beloved Caf-Pow and planting a kiss on his cheek. "Thanks Boss man!" It was as if he hadn't heard his favorite lab rat. Gibbs was too busy looking at the woman Abby called 'Pierce'. The woman made Gibbs' gut twist and flop around. His heartbeat increased whenever her eyes came upon him. He shook his head mentally and focused his attention back on Abby.

"You gotta case yet?" He shook his head, taking a gulp of his coffee. From his peripheral vision, he saw the small woman looking at his coffee like she would pounce him to get it.

"Not that you would mind." a voice in the back of his head chastised him. He stored the little coffee information in the back of his mind for later.

"Oh! Um Gibbs this is Pierce, my new assistant." For the second time that day, Gibbs shocked Abby. Usually he would just glare at the offending hand but this time he took it in his own. She watched as their heads snapped up, their eyes meeting. Like they shocked each other. They held hands for a long while, their lips creeping up into small smiles.

"Okay Awkward." Abby thought. She coughed, breaking the two out of their reverie.

"Did you talk to SecNav yet?" The usually gruff, ex-marine looked like a nervous probie as he rubbed the back of his head looking down at the ground. Was that a faint blush Abby witnessed?

"Yeah. I'm workin' on it."

"Good."

"I'll see ya later Abby, Pierce." With that he swiveled around on his heel and left. Once the elevator doors closed he head slapped himself.

"Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!"
