"But we cannot do this with any other help with the FBI, CIA, Homeland anyone because it would disrupt the space time continuum," Danielle added.
"So you are proposing that we do an undercover operation to shut down a future agency with weapons more powerful than the ones we have to this day?" Vance asked as he stood up from the table.
"Yes, except we cannot have two of your agents present in this operation which makes it more complex."
"What do you mean?" Gibbs asked. Danielle looked over to her parents who knew exactly what she meant.
"If my past parents get hurt or die during this operation three of us in this room will also die, I will not exist if one of them dies and one of my parents will disappear and then we have fewer numbers."
Gibbs nodded in agreement but Tony shot up and rejected. "NO! I understand you are my future daughter and this whole thing is messed up but I am not sitting here on the side lines! And I don't think Ziva would want to either! We are good agents, we can stay low key…come on!" tony argued.
"Da…I mean Tony you don't know what you are up against…in fact I would probably just suggest that me and my parents go but we need NCIS's help unfortunately. If I could communicate with the future I would and contact Uncle McGee and Aunt Abby to send people but-" Danielle explained but was cut off by McGee.
"Wait! Tattoos!" McGee shouted out. Everyone looked at him puzzled. "Abby wears tattoos we can give her another one that says a message for future her to send back some people to help! If future me helped Ton...Anthony then future me would know how to get here so he can send stuff or people."
"McGee that is absolutely brilliant!" younger Ziva exclaimed. McGee smiled proud of himself.

Abby was thrilled to receive another tattoo, they decided to make it big and obvious to which Abby did not mind because she knew it was for a good cause. The message read: HLCIS testing humans must bring down send people and supplies to help – Tony
The tattoo was placed on her thigh. "Will it work?" Abby asked.
"I hope so," Danielle said. Younger Tony and Ziva stood in the back of the lab watching while their hands were slightly touching.
"What do we do?" Tony whispered in her ear. "If we go and we fail then she's gone, and so are they."
"That is why we try not to die, if they send reinforcements and this plan works then we can be on the side lines and help through communication…"
"No, she's my future I can't just sit there and do nothing. Those people threatened her and they threatened our family, I am not just going to stand there-"
"I know Tony, you are not alone I too want them done. I just cannot imagine what they put her through, she had to watch these tests and… I want to kill them as much as you do Tony but you know the consequences if we step in!"
"They brought us in! If they would have done this on their own and not tell us…"
"How could they Tony? Future you came by himself and his wife after him…they could not have done this on their own. I understand you are angry so am I but our hands are tied. Like you said she is our future, we need to be here alive so she can live."
Tony bit his lip and sighed. Ziva was right but he hated that and he knew that she did too. Ziva placed her head on his shoulder as they watched the team talk around Abby's desk. Danielle glanced over seeing them. She smiled at the sight; there was hope that would still exist.
"Now what?" asked Gibbs.
"Well they will have to meet us somewhere-" started Anthony. Abby took the Tattoo making needle (she was used to the pain so she could usually do it herself) and started to write below the message: Gibbs's house. "There now we have a meeting place!" Abby said as Anthony let out a small chuckle.
"Smart."
