I have had this chapter up my sleeve for awhile. Who liked NCIS this week? I actually was so mad that Werth came back and was all flirty with Ziva. I also hate Fornell's beard. I just wanted to wait for reviews. Only three more reviews, tsk tsk. I expected more. Maybe me reviewer hall of fame will get you guys to actually review once in a blue moon. Here's the list:

Princesskag03 (although no recent ones)

You people need to do better. I won't delay this any further. Also realized I probably should include a disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS or Bones. Doesn't take genius to figure that out.

Brennan and Tony were going to a warehouse to talk to a suspect. He was working and they didn't have time to wait for him to finish.

"Tempe, just stay behind me. We don't know what's up with this guy."

"I am perfectly fine by myself." Brennan protested, feeling too much like a damsel in distress

"I realize that, but this guy probably is our murderer. If so, he will be expecting us. I can't bear the thought of you getting killed"

Brennan grunted, but said nothing. She realized Tony was right; this guy was probably the killer. She hoped that he was like the ones she and Booth caught. The ones who did it out of rage and now he would collapse in grief and confess. They were in the warehouse now.

Tony knew the minute he stepped out of the car that something was going to go down. He just didn't know what and how bad the damage was going to be. Once he got into the warehouse, though, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. Tony could name a dozen movies where the main hero and his hot female partner got into situations at places like these. Half of those movies, one of them dies. Tony just hoped his was like the other half. He saw out of the corner of his eye, a guy on the walkway with a gun. He spoke out of the corner of his mouth,

"Tempe, walk slowly to the door, open it, get into the car, and drive to NCIS as fast as you can"

"What, Tony why, what's going on?" Then she saw the guy on the walkway. She mentally cursed herself for leaving her gun at home.

Just then the guy on the walkway fired his gun. It hit Tony in the shoulder. Tony fired back, and the guy went flying. Then, all Hades broke loose. Three guys with guns came out of nowhere and fired. Two bullets from Creep #1 hit Tony in the thigh. Creep #2 shot at Brennan while Tony was shooting at Creep #3. It hit her in the shoulder. She cried out in pain. Tony whirled around and fired at the guy who had hit her and he ducked. Creep #3 shot at Tony and he mustn't have been a good shot, because it was aimed for his spine, but it hit his hip.

Tony shot Creep3 and Brennan noticed everyone else was dead. Then she looked over at Tony, who was lying in a pool of his own blood. Then she blacked out.

She woke up dazed and groggy in a hospital. Booth, Angela, and Cam were standing over her.

"Tony" she managed, sitting up. That was a bad idea. The room spun a little and she laid back down.

"He's alright, Sweetie" Angela replied smiling sympathetically

"Not for long" Booth said and that's when Brennan's eyes grew cold

"Do you even know what happened?"

"All I know is you guys got into a shootout and he didn't protect you"

Brennan shook her head forcefully, "It's more than that and he did the best he could"

"No Tempe, he's right" said a voice from the doorway. It was Tony on crutches and in a sling. There were spatters of red all over his clothing.

Booth's look of anger turned into one of shock. "Oh man, dude. Look at you, I'm sorry. How many times were you shot?"

"Four. I've also got a concussion" Tony said this with an air of someone talking about the weather. So normal and commonplace.

They all were stunned at the tone of his voice. Suddenly, a voice called out, "There you are. Gibbs, I found him" Ziva shouted.

The man himself came up next to Ziva. He shot an annoyed look at Ziva for yelling. He turned to his senior field agent and everyone besides Tony, who was bracing himself for a head slap, saw Gibbs soften.

Everyone at NCIS knew Tony was easily Gibbs's favorite. Except for Tony, that is. The look in his eyes would've made anyone else think that he was looking at his child, not his employee. The Jeffersonian team had figured this out after Tony had come back from talking to a witness looking exhausted and Gibbs had sent him down to Abby for some rest. It also hadn't helped that right after Gibbs went to make sure Tony actually slept that McGee had said under his breath, "If it was anyone else…"

Gibbs looked at his senior field agent. He had four gunshot wounds (four!), multiple bruises, some nasty gashes, and a minor concussion. In all, he was a wreck. Not to mention, for a fraction of a second, he could see the fear in the taller man's eyes. He had always been annoyed that he had to look up slightly to look his senior field agent in the eye. This fear meant that Tony was gearing up to be screamed at and/or head slapped. Normally, maybe Gibbs would've, but Tony had never had this many injuries. Instead he said, "C'mon let's leave these two alone", and everyone followed him out.

Tony went over the Brennan's bedside and took her hand in his free hand. She didn't look so bad; she only had bandages from where she was shot. She, unlike him, hadn't hit her head very hard. She took in his bandages and his expressionless face that told her he was in pain. She smiled, but winced when he looked at her shoulder wound instead of her. He looked like he had been in a war. She supposed that's what he did. She just caught people who murdered one person, occasionally more. But he caught people who'd killed thousands.

Finally, he spoke, "I am so sorry." Then he looked around sheepishly, like a child expecting to be scolded and then smacked himself on the back of the head.

She was in shock, "Tony, what was that for?"

"I broke a Gibbs rule. Don't apologize; it's a sign of weakness."

"Well, that's incredibly stupid. Besides, you have nothing to be sorry for. He snuck up behind us."

Tony was silent for a long time. Just when Brennan was about to close her eyes, he snorted.

"What's so funny?"

"I just had a major case of déjà vu."

"Huh?"

"Me having so many holes, I'm like a human sponge. You shot up and in the hospital. Me checked out AMA. You and I talking while I hold your hand."

Brennan laughed, "Yeah, haven't we been through this, four, now five, times?"

Tony laughed with her. They were both unaware that they were being eavesdropped upon. Outside the door, both Team Gibbs and the Jeffersonian crowd were stunned. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Had Tony and Brennan just admit that they'd been in this exact situation before? That left only one question of everyone's mind.

Just how do Brennan and Tony really know each other?

That will be a question revealed in time. I am already in the process of writing the next chapter, and I also have another two stories I'm writing. One is going to be a multi-chapter Tiva/Tabby NCIS fic. The other is going to be a one-shot B/B fluff fic. Remember, reviews make the writing go faster. HINT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
