Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS or any of these characters.
This story is set in an AU where Ari did shoot Kate, but the bullet only grazed her head and she is in a coma throughout season three. And, since this is my story and I can do whatever I want, I've made it Kibbs.
After 'Under Covers'
"Hey, Kate. What's up?" Tony chuckled at his own distasteful joke. "I don't know about you, but I actually had a pretty good week. Well," he paused, then continued cavalierly, "except for being captured and beaten. That sucked. But the rest was pretty nice. Ziva and I went undercover. As a married couple. I won't go into detail-" He glanced at Kate, knowing what her reaction would be if she were awake, and hoping for it now. "Since when do you not go into detail?" His catlike grin was short-lived. "I don't think your delicate ears could handle it. But, I will tell you this." He stopped, and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "It was epic." His smile lingered for a few moments before slipping off his face. "You would have been able to tell we were being watched. Ziva figured it out pretty quick, but you would have just known, you know?" He let out a short breath through his nose. "When are you gonna wake up, Kate? We need you out here, in the land of the living."
There was no answer.
