Chapter 3 Tony's POV
Tony can't believe it, he thought he was going on a mission for vengeance, but it turned into a rescue mission. He can't believe it. She's alive. Ziva's alive. She is still just as beautiful as she was before. He can't take his eyes off her, its so unreal to have her here. He realized she is probally still mad at him but he can't help himself, he's happy she's alive. He won't kid himself, there is still a lot they need to work out, a lot of things to be said and he saw all the questions in her eyes but she's alive and here which makes him glad he refused to give up and push for the mission. They get their second chance to talk everything through and gain back some form of their old friendship. Tony knows that's the least he can hope for even though he knows deep down he will always hope for more, even if he never gets it. The past few months made him realize he can't live without her because he is and has been in love with her all along. It kills him that they did this to her. He wishes he could have been the one to kill the bastards who tortured her. But despite it all he is happy she is home and he can try to straighten out the mess he made. He will give her time, he won't push her, he knows the past few months have been hell for her, he knows she is broken in some ways, but he will take it slow and be there for her because she is his crazy ninja chick after all.
