The group of NCIS agents moved to sit in all of the available chairs and Gibbs and McGee went to move the room's sofa closer to the bed so more people could sit there. Tony meanwhile lifted Sammy to sit in Dean's bed.

"Well I guess now is a good of time as any to explain myself." Tony said to his captive audience in the room

2/20/13: Just making small updates and grammar changes.

"Where do I begin?" Tony asked as he looked at the hospital bed that held both of his sleeping brothers and only remaining connection to their parents.

"The beginning might be a good place DiNozzo." Gibbs stated in his blunt and to the point manner that he was famous for.

Tony took a deep breath, "Then I should probably tell you my name isn't really Tony DiNozzo. My real name is Anthony Jonathan Winchester, son of Mary and John Winchester." Tony answered proudly and was greeted by a room full of shocked gasps and stares.

"Well don't stop now keep going." Abby urged the agent who had stopped and become lost in thought.

"Sorry I haven't had to think about any of this in a long time and some of these memories aren't the best." Tony added and began his story, "My parents dated all through high school and on the night of graduation my father told my mother that he had joined the Marine Corp and was leaving in the morning. My mom was heartbroken that the love of her life was leaving. My Mother was upset understandably and was about to leave when my Dad stopped her and said that he wanted to her ask her something before she left. She agreed to listen to what he had to say. It was that night that my father asked her to marry him and she agreed and then one thing led to another and then the rest was history." Tony filled in with his usual cocky attitude.

"I was born February 10, 1969 in Lawrence, Kansas. My parents were married in September of 1968 after my dad finished boot camp and before he was due to leave for Vietnam. My father continued to serve in the Corps until I was 8 years old when he was honorably discharged after being shot saving his men and received his purple heart. When I was 10 years old my mom had my brother Dean and four years later she had Sammy." Tony paused here to look once more at his sleeping brothers and to gauge the reactions from his small audience in the room.

He was met by several encouraging head nods so he continued, "What comes next will sound like a joke and you probably won't believe me and I wouldn't blame you, but I promise you it is the truth." Tony paused to gauge the reaction from the group but wasn't able to get a proper reaction from everyone before he continued, "When I was 14 my mother was killed by a demon. " This was met with a gasp from Abby who covered her mouth in shock. "It was Friday November 2, 1983 and I was spending the night at a friend's house it was just a normal night. Mom was home taking care of Sammy and Dean while Dad was working late at the garage with his friend. I was only just down the street it must have been around ten or eleven when I started to hear the fire trucks outside. Me and my friend ran to the window to see what was going on outside and we saw that the trucks were going to MY house. I ran to my house, god I never ran so fast in my life and I got there just as Dean came running out carrying baby Sammy. When I saw them come out I scooped them up and carried them away from the fire; when I realized that Dad wasn't anywhere outside the house I realized that meant he was still in there. I set my brothers down and started to run towards the house and ran into Dad just as the house exploded with my Mom inside." Tony said with silent tears running down his face. He had never had to talk about that night to anyone before; in fact it was encouraged not too. Sammy always asked Dean any questions about the fire and the kids never asked him or their father.

"After that my father went to the town Psychic, Missouri Mosley, and found that a supernatural entity had killed my mom. Shortly after that we left town and began to hunt things that go bump in the night. We traveled cross country been to nearly every state. You know the things that you have see in horror movies and took comfort in thinking they didn't exist? Well they do and I probably killed it." Tony finished and was ready to receive criticism from his peers and boss but none came.

Tony looked up at his friends and they were looking back at him with different states of disbelief when finally Gibbs asked the question he was waiting for "Tony, why did you lie about yourself to us for all these years?"

"I had to change my name and background because of the hunting we did and it was also one of the requirements my Dad had for me leaving. I wanted to go to college I had it all planned out and I was even taking some AP classes in school when the fire happened. Before the…. accident Mom told me she wanted me to go because it was something that she and Dad never had the chance to do. But with hunting and everything else that had changed in the previous four years Dad said that if I wanted to go I had to change my name and come up with a fake background so none of the smarter things we had hunted would be able to find me especially demons, they are smart and always out for revenge." Tony paused to take a breath before he continued and took a sip of water, "Bobby Singer, who you will meet shortly had a client that he helped out a while back who was in debt to Bobby for saving his life so he said that he would be willing to let me play his son and that I could take his last name and he would play "Father" to me. His name happened to be Anthony DiNozzo and I took on the name and became Junior." Tony finished with his head turned towards his brothers who clung to each other even in sleep as if they were each other's only connection to the world.

"Why can't you just tell the truth once in awhile Tony? You don't have to hide behind a joke all the time. We wouldn't blame you for anything we just want to help you. We all care about you Tony. " Kate said with tears in her eyes.

"I can't believe you would lie to us Tony I trusted you! I told you everything hell I even thought of you as a kid brother." Abby yelled as she stormed out of the room closely followed by everyone else.

Gibbs was the last one to leave he stopped just as he was about to cross the doorway out of the room and stopped and stared at the young man he thought he knew.

"I'm sorry boss." Tony said looking into his mentor's steel blue eyes and turned to look back down at his feet which had suddenly become very interesting.

"I know you are. I still don't understand your need to lie to us but I understand that you were between a rock and a hard place and couldn't do anything about it. I will be back I promise I won't leave you especially in a time like this just give me some time to think about what has happened. Then we need to talk some more. I will talk to the rest of the team and see if I can't get them to see reason but I can't make any guarantees." Gibbs said as he turned and walked out the door.

Tony sat in shock for a moment I lie to the team for years, I made up stories for Gibbs about my childhood when he asked and he still trusts me and wants to defend me to the team.

"Tony, where did everyone go?" Sammy asked as he climbed out of the bed and onto Tony's lap.

"They left kiddo. I had to tell them the truth." Tony answered helping the kid into his lap and embracing him.

"Are they coming back?" Sam asked looking up into his older brother's face and seeing the sadness in his oldest brother's eyes answered himself, "They aren't are they?"

"I don't know Sam, I really don't know. Uncle Bobby and Caleb should be here soon." Tony said bringing Sam to lean up against his chest and squeezed the child to him and sat like that for awhile until there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. DiNozzo, my name is Dr. Brad Pitt; no relation to the actor. How are you doing?" The young doctor asked as he walked into the room and started taking note of Dean's vitals.

"It isn't the best but it can always be worse, right?" Tony asked while watching the doctor look at Dean's blood- oxygen monitor and his temperature and noticed the doctor was frowning slightly.

"What is it Doc is he ok?" Tony and waited for an answer from the Dr. Pitt who was still looking over Dean and his equipment. Dr. Pitt continued looking over the teen and finished taking notes on his clip board before he turned to address Tony.

"I'm afraid that Dean's fever has risen slightly again and his oxygen count is lower than I would like. We are going to keep him on antibiotic. He will need to stay on the oxygen mask for awhile and when he wakes up we will need to make sure that it stays on until his oxygen levels are up. On the bright side he should be waking up relatively soon." Dr. Pitt informed Tony.

"Thank you Doctor." Tony said.

"I need to finish my rounds but I will be here all night. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to have one of the nurses page me." Dr. Pitt said and left the room in silence.

"Tony is Dad really dead? What's gonna happen to me and Dean?" Sam asked starting to tear up again and leaning closer to Tony.

"Yeah buddy Dad is dead. After Dean is released we're going to South Dakota for Dad's funeral. Then you and Dean are going to be living with me." Tony answered; shocked that his brother would think it would be any other way.

"I love you Tony." The Sam said and gave Tony another hug and started to fall asleep when Tony's cell phone rang. Moving Sam to sit on the vacated couch Tony reached into his jacket pocket to reach the ringing phone before it could disturb his sleeping family members.

"Hey Bobby, where you at?" Tony asked picking up the phone.

"The plane just landed and I'm on my way to Caleb's gate he should be landing soon. We should be there in a bit. Do you need anything kiddo? Clothes, coffee, anything?" Bobby asked as he made his way to Caleb's gate which was just beginning to let passengers off.

"I can't think of anything maybe a cup of coffee and an extra set of clothes for myself that would be great." Tony said getting up to pace the room.

"Sure thing kid. Keep those brothers of yours out of trouble. And Rufus says thanks for the research for his case he finished it without any more trouble than usual. Here comes Caleb we will be there shortly." Bobby said trying to keep the conversation going.

"Drive safe the roads look like they are going to be getting bad soon; it looks like a storm is brewing outside." Tony said looking out the smudged hospital window.

"We always are." Bobby answered as he hung up.

Tony closed his phone and began to walk back towards the bed and sat down. It wasn't until he sat down that he realized just how tired he was and how much had happened to him already today. This morning when he woke up he thought it would be just a normal Monday and he would be able to prank McGee again or harass Kate about something or another. Not that his Father would be found dead in some woods in Virginia or that he would become a parent to his two little brothers or possibly lose all his trust from his co workers and the people he considered family.

Just then Gibbs strode into the room and took a seat opposite Tony and looked over all the boys in the room to make sure that nothing had changed in the time that he had left.

"Boss what are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming back?" Tony asked astounded that any of his team would return to his side after everything that had come to light the last couple of hours.

"I said that I would be. Tony you realize that you lied to get this job and made up false information while applying for the job and we are going to have to tell Vance the truth now." Gibbs finished sorry that he would have to tell Director Vance anything about his SFA.

"He already knows." Tony answered quietly ashamed he had told the Director about his past but not Gibbs and he waited for the inevitable outburst/ head slap that would without a doubt come.

"What the hell Tony? You told him and you don't even like him?" Gibbs shouted standing up from the plastic hospital chair and coming over to the other side of the hospital bed giving Tony the promised headslap then sat on the foot of the bed.

"I didn't have a choice Gibbs I'm sorry." Tony said.

"What do you mean you didn't have a choice? There is always a choice." Gibbs answered.

"Boss you know damn well why I couldn't! If I had told you guys even half the truth before you would have been in such deep shit you wouldn't even know where to start! I only told Vance because he figured it out himself." Tony yelled at his boss and continued to pace the room not noticing the boy in the hospital bed starting stir and wake up.

Gibbs was astounded at the outburst from Tony. In all his years of having Tony at his side he never witnessed this side of his Senior Field Agent, "What do you mean he figured it out himself?"

"He started looking though all my phone calls and emails for some reason or another I don't remember what it was. He noticed a couple people I had repeatedly contacted and did background checks on them. He tried to figure out how I know them but he couldn't figure it out so when he found Bobby's name and he became suspicious. Turns out Vance had a little bit of poltergeist problem when he was a kid and Bobby was the one that took care of it. So when we had left for the night he went into my desk and saw a bunch of pictures Sammy and Dean had drawn for me and noticed that I had a Devil's Trap drawn onto the bottom of my desk and that was the final straw. When he saw that he called me up that next morning to explain. "

Gibbs remembered that day they had just gotten back from interviewing a witness and Vance had been waiting in Tony's desk. Vance had gotten up and asked Tony to come with him to his office and his senior field agent had visibly paled at the command but had gone anyway. They had all though it odd but they hadn't worried about it. Tony had come back an hour later and said the Director had excused him for the rest of the day. The team never pursued it any further and DiNozzo had never offered any information.

"I told Vance about what my Dad had said and that Bobby was a family friend and that I considered him family and of course I had to tell him about my cover. Vance then explained how he had come to meet Bobby and that he would be forever in Bobby's debt so because of that he would excuse the false documentation and the lies but in exchange I could not tell anyone about his past unless it became absolutely necessary for someone to know. Because he does have a reputation to uphold you know." Tony said finishing in a horrible impression of the Director.

"I'm sorry Boss. Do I still have a job on your team or should I start looking for a different one?" Tony asked going to sit down again and looking over and realized that Dean was awake and watching the two men in the room talking. "Hey bud how are you feeling?"

Tony didn't receive an answer from Dean nor did Dean act like he had heard what Tony had asked and remained silent in the bed.

"Ok Dean I'll be here ready to listen when you want to talk." Tony said trying not to let Dean's sudden muteness bother him.

"Why is Dean like that? He wasn't that quiet when we picked him up. Did we say something that upset him?" Gibbs asked curious as to the boy's behavior.

"It is his way of coping with things; after Mom was killed he was quiet for months not acknowledging anyone but Sammy. It was to the point that doctors were suggesting we send him away for help. Dad didn't want to do that. We just kept talking to him and making sure he knew we loved him and that Mom was still looking out for him, she was just a little further away than before. Eventually he came around and we couldn't get him to shut up. I have feeling this will be like that only worse because he had more memories with Dad." Tony said running his fingers through Dean's dirty blonde hair.

Gibbs got up from where he was sitting and sat closer to the young teen and looked right into his eyes before speaking, "Dean I want you to know that even though we don't know each other well right now I will be here for you always. You can come to me if you need somebody to talk to ok?"

He was met by silence but he didn't let that bother him he just nodded his head and patted Dean's shoulder. Gibbs turned to Tony and to answer his question from earlier, "Tony you will always have a place on my team as long as I'm working. You know the rule, don't waste good. Tony you are good in more ways than one and I don't won't to lose you. Besides I like your brothers too much." Gibbs said going over to sit besides Sam and took the small boy into his side.

"Gibbs you don't know how much this means to me. I'm sorry I couldn't be more honest with you I promise there will be no more secrets between us. "

"Your damn right there won't be." Gibbs answered hoping that now there was be less secrets and more truths in his team then before, " I guess I can't call you DiNozzo any more can I?" Gibbs said trying to change the topic.

"No thank God! You have no idea how much I hate that name! It will feel so good to be called by my real name." Tony exclaimed he had hated that his whole adult life he had to deny who is family really was and had to accept some rich business snob as his "Father" when they didn't even talk more than once or twice a year and exchanged gifts just to keep up appearances.

"So who is this Bobby you keep talking about? I know you said he was a family friend but the way you keep talking about I think he might mean more than that." Gibbs asked, trying to get more information out of the young agent.

"Bobby, god, he is like a father to me probably more so then my Dad was after the fire. Bobby's was like a safe haven for me and my brothers. Dad was trying to train us to become the best hunters that we could be so we wouldn't get hurt when we went out on hunts. Dad was relentless he wouldn't stop for anything and we had a regime that we had to follow every day and if we didn't the punishment was always worse than the training we had tried to get out of. Basically me and my brothers are trained Marines we know how to do things that would surprise you, sparring, survival skills, first aid, you name it we know it. Bobby would treat us like kids like we should have been treated. When dad would go on extended hunting trips he would leave us with him or Pastor Jim those were some of the best times that I had after the fire." Tony said reminiscing.

"So am I ever going to get a chance to meet these guys?" Gibbs asked watching Tony settle himself in next to Dean on the bed.

"Bobby and another friend Caleb should be here any time now they flew out as soon as they heard about my Dad and they are just stopping to get coffee and a change of clothes for me. Pastor Jim wasn't able to leave his church on such short notice but said he would be waiting in Sioux Falls for us when we fly out for the funeral. I would like for you and the team to come if you guys want too. It would be good to show Dean and Sam that they have people looking out for them. " Tony stated shyly not wanting to admit that he needed his team and boss there more than his brothers.

"Tony I would be honored to come with you and as for the team they aren't mad at you they are just hurt that you felt you had to lie to them. They will be back they just need time to think about what happened." Gibbs said shocked that Tony who portrayed the picture of confidence even at times being over confident was suddenly shy and doubting everyone's motives.

"Thanks Gibbs." Was all Tony could find in himself to say.

Just as Gibbs was about to ask Tony about Dean's condition they were interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Hey Tony, how you doing?" Bobby asked walking in the door followed by Caleb who was carrying the tray with coffees and had Tony's bag slung over his shoulder. Both hunters paused when they saw Gibbs sitting with a sleeping Sam in his arms.

"Gibbs this is Bobby and Caleb," Tony said standing up and gesturing to each man, "Guys this is Gibbs."
