(Here is the 3rd Chapter, thanks for the reviews and I hope you continue to enjoy)
Phantom Limb:
McGee took deep heavy breaths as he sat on the table, his red metal biotic arm resting in the foam case comfortably, he knew he should have talked to Ellie about his feelings in case something went wrong but he had the personal assurances of Doctor Riley that nothing can go wrong so McGee left it alone deciding to tell her at a more appropriate time.
Doctor Riley entered the room with an injector gun with clear liquid inside it
"Special agent McGee" Doctor Riley greeted and McGee smiled "Doctor Riley… so how does this work?" Doctor Riley smiled resting his hand on McGee's left shoulder blade "Agent McGee you got nothing to worry about, in this injector gun is the artificial nerve centres for the arm, once injected I will attach the arm to you and it will begin to synchronise with your brain… I'd be lying if I said it would be painless truth is it will hurt like hell"
McGee raised his eyebrows "You could have told me that sooner" he said and Doctor Riley nodded his head "it'll be fine" he grabbed the injector gun and took a deep breath "You ready?" McGee closed his eyes and nodded his head before hissing in pain as he felt the needle penetrate his right shoulder blade before placing the arm on, the red biotic arm beeped 3 times before going silence, McGee opened his eyes and hummed "That was not so b…" soon he felt it, the feeling of bolts of electricity going through his arm to his brain send his body jerking as he yelled loudly, Doctor Riley held McGee down on the table "accept it, it won't work unless you accept the arm as a part of you" McGee's jerks slowed to a halt and his roars became lower in groans as the arm buzzed and clicked.
The room went silent and Doctor Riley left, meanwhile McGee drifted into unconsciousness falling into darkness until he found himself in a small field "How the hell…?" "Where am I?" he wondered to himself "Hello McGee" McGee turned towards the sound of the voice and looked even more shocked "Director Shepherd" "McGee… after all this time you should really call me Jenny" She smiled as she took his arm left arm and led him away across the field "Where am I?" he asked her and she smiled "You are deep in your own sub-conscience McGee… the electrical impulses the biotic arm was sending into your brain allows 3 of us to talk to you for at least a minute"
"3 of you, who else is there?" he asked and she smiled "That I cannot say McGee, you must be ready to accept them" McGee looked more confused "Ok then, why you? Don't get me wrong I do miss you like the others but well let's face it… we were never close" he said and she nodded "I know McGee… I also know that you feel less than what you are on Gibb's team, Gibbs does not show appreciation for your work and Tony constantly taunts you" McGee nodded his head "Gibbs appreciates you more than you think, he is just crusty with everyone… he would not be Gibbs if he was nice all the time" McGee nodded his head and she smiled "I better get going but remember this McGee… you are needed, more than you know" and with that she was gone.
McGee was dreading the next ghost but he knew that was not going to come for a while yet and he was not in any hurry to get it over with.
McGee woke back in the room and he groaned painfully with his head throbbing "Son of a bitch that hurt" he mumbled standing up clutching his head with his left hand and as he turned to observe his surroundings he caught sight of it… the red biotic arm attached to where his elbow, bringing it up to eye level he moved its wrist around and clenched his fist it felt odd to him but at the same time it felt normal again, looking back at the mirror he smile before throwing a hard punch to the glass which shattered and he smiled.
Gibbs and Doctor Riley was right… this was now a part of him.
