N/B I have changed the bodyguard to Kaidan Alenko (his from the Mass Effect games, and he doesn't have any biotics. I am addicted to them. I do plan on writing Kaidan/Shepard story, mpreg story).

'I'm sorry Director, but I believe you were told it was classified. I'm unable to give you any more information. This is Major Kaidan Alenko; he will be my shadow for the foreseeable future.'

'I run this agency and you can't tell me anything?' She glared at the younger man.

'Being the director and if you had clearance you should already know or be able to find out.' DiNozzo answered.

'Get back to work, and make sure the Major has everything he needs to be able to work here with you.'

'Yes Director.' With that the two men turned and left her alone.

'Did you really need to say it like that?' Kaidan asked.

'I really, really did.' Tony grinned. 'There wasn't anything she could do I was only stating a fact.'

'Why don't you like her?'

'No reason Kaidan.' He ignored the face that flashed in his mind. They couldn't help having feelings for the same man.

'Yeah right.'

Gibbs shook his head as McGee and Ziva argued in front of him as they walked out of the elevator. He couldn't wait for DiNozzo to be back he would see something that they had all missed or he would stop this same argument and the blaming the other one over and over again. His mind was too busy thinking about his 2IC he never noticed that his two agents had stopped, and just managed to stop walking into them. He glanced over and there smirking at them was the very man he had been thinking off, and next to him was a stranger, a good looking stranger who was standing a little too close.

'Hey miss me.' DiNozzo grinned at them.

'Well I did notice it was quieter.' Gibb answered as he walked towards his desk. 'Welcome back.' He placed a hand on Tony's shoulder and squeezed it. He hoped that the meaning of how much he was missed would come through. If the extra brightness in those expresses eyes meant anything, his message was received loud and clear. 'Tonight, cowboy steak 2100 hrs.'

'Sure boss, I'll be there.'

'I'll be in the car waiting.' Kaidan smirked at DiNozzo. It was clear that his new charge and friend had feelings for his boss. It should be interesting to see how things progressed with so many changes within Tony.

'So Tony where have you been? Who's that?' Ziva leant on her desk and fired of questions.

'It's classified as you well know, and he's Major Kaidan Alenko. He's here to make sure that I'm safe.'

'Did the Director realise you can't take care of yourself.' She replied snidely.

Gibbs turned and glared at her; if he was a little closer he would have given Ziva the head-slap of all head-slaps for that comment.

Kaidan turned and stared at her coolly. 'Agent DiNozzo has been indispensable, we were lucky to have him work for us. He's someone we want to make sure is safe. It has nothing to do with his skills, which were very good to start off with. Now they are more impressive.'

'You just like knocking me on my ass Kaidan.' Tony noticed the looks he got. 'He's been training me. We spend so much time together, all our time together we made a deal. He suffers through movies with me.'

'And I get to attempt to train him.'

'Kaidan you get that word mixed up all the time, it's not train, its torture.' Tony winced at the pretend slap on the shoulder the Major gave him.

Ziva and McGee glanced over at each other; they had no idea what to make of this.

Gibbs laughed as he poked at the fire. It shouldn't be long before Tony arrived. Major Alenko had shut up Ziva and McGee briefly, but Tony finding clues they had missed was just perfect. They finally had some leads on the case. They had done everything they could at work, hopefully something good could be found tomorrow. If they didn't, it didn't matter DiNozzo was back.

As soon as he heard his door open he was on his feet walking towards it. Tony just managed to close the door before Gibbs had pulled him into a hug.

'Gibbs?' Tony whispered worriedly.

'I haven't really seen you since the hospital. I still see you hurt. I'm just so glad you're back, and you.'

'You were worried that I might be…Hold on a minute.' Tony pulled a little black box from his pocket, and pushed a switch. 'Makes sure no electronic devices can hear us. Everyone's a little paranoid about me getting hurt or taken.'

'So we can talk about it now.' He took hold of the younger man's hand and led him to the sofa.

Tony glanced down and smiled. It was clear that Gibbs hadn't consciously thought about taking hand, it was just something he did automatically. It made him very, very happy indeed.

'So what would you like to know Gibbs?' Tony didn't want to point out they were holding hands, if he did it might stop.

Gibbs went over to poke at the fire again when he realised what he had done. 'Umm.'

'Gibbs, it's fine, very fine actually.' He hoped that this wouldn't backfire on him.

'Then don't you think you should call me Jethro?'

'I think I could manage that, Jethro.' Tony couldn't believe that they were taking small steps to becoming something more in the romantic sense.

'So what's it like now, in your head?'

'Well finding out when movies are coming out, where is showing my favourite classic film is easy.'

'Only you would misuse expensive government equipment that is contained in their head.'

'Hey, I'm haven't changed at all. They did tell me off for a few of my searches, but the movie ones they let go.'

'I don't even want to know what they pulled you up on.' Gibbs chuckled. 'How did Jenny take you being back?'

'She really hates being left out of the loop doesn't she?'

'She always did, that's one thing that hasn't changed about her since back in the day.'

'We are going to have to make sure that I'm not teamed up with McGee or Ziva at least not for a while, until I have this under control.'

'That's not a problem Tony. You'll be my partner. I've decided to split us up into two teams. If they don't like it they can leave. They have been working as a partnership while you've been gone. I think they've made an excellent team, and it should continue. You coming back shouldn't split that up.'

'I like it, even though you know they aren't going to be happy. If we were going to be split into teams they both will think they deserve to be partnered with you.'

'I would kill them, it wouldn't work.'

'Good luck with telling them.' Tony paused for a moment. 'Can you wait until I'm there though?'

'Aren't you afraid of Ziva attacking you?'

'Nah, that's what I have Kaidan for?'

'So, about Major Alenko?'

'Give him a chance; I think you and him would get along. We're friends, just friends. He's here to protect me.'

Gibbs sighed. 'We'll see.'

Tony moved closer and snuggled into Gibbs sighed. He relaxed more when an arm wrapped around him and held him tightly.

'I could get use to this Jethro.'

'So could I Tony, so could I.' Gibbs settled back the steaks could go on soon, it didn't need to happen right at this minute.

Gibbs waited until everyone was sat at their desks. 'I have something to say. McGee, Ziva you have worked exceptionally well as partners since Tony's been gone.' He watched as they smirked over at DiNozzo, and he could see that his SFA was managing to not laugh. He knew what was coming next. 'Now that Tony's back I don't want to split you to up.' The smiles dropped from their faces, it was replaced by confusion. 'When we have to split up you two will be paired together and I'll be with DiNozzo.'
