Notarockgod: thank you for the kind review! I am hoping to give Tim a strong character yes. I also will try to keep most of his personality because that's what made me fall in love with the character in the first place. Except he has a little bit of a temper thrown in. :)
So this is the introductory to Tim's life with the MCRT. Gibbs might seem a little OC and slight Tony bashing. The chapters are still short I know, sorry. :( I'm planning a chapter a week from now, but my life can become hectic.
9 years later
"You belong to me now." Tim stood there stunned as Gibbs left the bullpen.
"Welcome to the team McGoo." Tony said and Tim glared at him.
"Care to stop the nicknames Tony?" Tony was taken aback, completely speechless.
"McGee, I didn't know you had it in you!" Kate said with a smile.
"There's a lot you don't know about me." Tim muttered under his breath. "I appreciate the welcome Tony, but cut the crap with the teasing please."
"Wow, speaking to your senior agent like that, you might not last long." Tony said threateningly.
"I didn't get on the team for being a kiss-ass Tony. It was because I worked hard for it, and let's face it. You blatantly bully anyone who has been here a shorter time than you." Kate looked ready to clap hands while Tony turned red-faced.
"Who do you think you-" SMACK!
"Shut up Dinozzo." Gibbs said while continuing on to Tim.
"Yes boss." Tony mumbled and walked towards his desk, glaring at Tim.
Kate thought it best to move to her desk too, just in case. Gibbs came face to face with Tim, their noses almost touching. He stared at him with intense ice blue eyes, scrutinizing the taller man.
"McGee. My office now." Gibbs said and Tim followed Gibbs into the elevator.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Gibbs hit the emergency off switch and turned around to look at Tim again.
"You're a fighter Tim, noticed that the very second I saw you the first time. I could see you clenching your fists as Tony hazed you, but you know what I liked more?" Gibbs asked and Tim shook his head.
"The self control. Can I see that again?" Gibbs asked.
"I don't know what you mean." Tim said, not moving his eyes from Gibbs.
"You had the self control not to rip Tony one. You kept yourself in check. I want to see that again. I want to know that you will be able to keep your temper in check, while working on my team. No matter what Dinozzo throws at you, you hear? I see the potential of a damn good agent in you, but I can't have my team at each other's necks. Or I will have you transferred." Gibbs said sternly.
"Yes sir." Tim muttered and Gibbs slapped him on the back of his head.
"It's boss, MaGee. Protect your partner's six, like you would your own ass and everything will be fine. Put up with Tony, because he means well. You are for now a Probie, and probies get hazed, it's the way it is." Gibbs raised an eyebrow and Tim nodded.
"Yes si- boss." Tim said and Gibbs flipped the switch back on again.
"And remember this Tim, that will be the longest speech you will ever get out of me." Gibbs said, causing Tim to smile.
"Yes boss." McGee said.
