When the plane landed in New York, Bull led his brother through the terminal to collect Tony's luggage. Then they headed out of the airport into the warm sunshine.

"Jason!" called a stylish woman with a smile. She made her way over.

"Hi, Riss," said Bull with a smile of his own. "Thanks for picking us up."

"No problem." Marissa extended her hand out to Tony. "Hi, you must be Tony. I'm Marissa. I work for Bull."

"Nice to meet you," said Tony. Bull had been right- he already liked this woman.

"Did you have a good flight?"

"Yes, I guess. Jason is good company."

"He certainly is," laughed Marissa. "Come on, I'll take you to TAC so you can meet everyone."

"Everyone? How many people is that?"

"Four. You're going to love them, I promise."

"I don't know... Maybe I should go to my hotel first?"

"It's your choice, Tony," said Bull, "but you don't need to be worried. You really will love the rest of my team. And they're going to love you."

"If you say so... People usually think I'm an overgrown frat boy."

"Those people are idiots," said Marissa. "Our friends are not idiots."

Tony smiled. "Alright. Let's go meet them."

The drive from the airport to TAC was long, but far from boring. The time was used to fill Tony in on Bull's team, and by the time they arrived at his office, Bull had told Tony the names of his teammates, a brief history on each and even their favourite coffees. Tony had no idea why he had been told all of this information, but he stored it away for future reference, just in case he needed it.

"Are you ready, Tony?" asked Bull as they walked up to the TAC building.

"Actually, I am. I feel much calmer now. Thank you, for whatever it is you did to make that happen," answered Tony.

"I don't think I really did much, but you're welcome anyway." Bull grinned. "Or... maybe I did something...?"

"Shut up, Jason," called Marissa as she returned with an all access pass for Tony. "Don't play with his head."

"Sorry, I couldn't help it. I wanted to make him laugh."

"Right." Marissa shook her head. "Come on, Tony. Let's get going before he thinks of something else to try on you."

Tony actually did laugh this time. "Sounds like a good idea, Marissa."

With a smile, Marissa led Tony and Bull to the building's doors. She pushed them open and they all entered, heading straight for the elevators. In less than two minutes, the trio were stepping out of the elevator and onto the twenty-second floor. People were milling about, working on tasks like any other day. They didn't bother looking over at the elevator.

"Welcome to our office, Tony," said Bull. "Come and meet the four other people that mean the world to me."

Tony looked around as he followed Bull through a short corridor and into a large, open area full of desks. He was stunned at how lovely the building was, and even more stunned by the views from the windows.

"This must cost you a fortune," Tony breathed.

"It's expensive, but worth it. My staff enjoy coming to work, or, at least, I hope they do."

"As much as NCIS is my home, I think I would enjoy working in a place like this."

"Thank you." Bull smiled. He then turned to face a group of people sitting at a conference table. "Good morning everyone," he said cheerfully to them.

"You're back!" exclaimed a young woman excitedly.

"I am." Bull hugged the woman. "I missed you too, Cable." He looked over at everyone else. "I want all of you to meet someone."

A man that looked to be slightly younger than Tony smiled. "Hi," he said as he held a hand out to Tony. "I'm Benny. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too, Benny. I'm Tony. Dr Bull told me that you two were in-laws at one point. That's cool."

"Bull is more like a brother than an in-law, really. He certainly treats me better than my sister does." Benny shrugged. "I'm TAC's in-house lawyer."

Tony smiled. "I'm not much of a fan of lawyers, to be honest, but you seem different to every other lawyer I've ever met. I like you a lot."

"Good, because I'm not like other lawyers... I've been on the wrong side of the law before, even though I didn't do anything wrong."

Tony nodded sympathetically. "I know how that feels. I've been there too. I don't ever want to go back there again."

Benny grinned. "We should grab a coffee later. I'll tell you all about Bull."

Bull groaned, but didn't speak. He could see that Tony was interested in knowing about him, and he wasn't going to make things harder by not allowing Tony to learn about his new brother.

"Sounds like a plan, Benny," said Tony. He looked over at the woman still cuddled into Bull. "You're name is Cable, right?"

"Yes," answered Cable. She sounded excited still. "I can't believe Bull brought a friend of his to meet us."

"Well... Tony's not exactly my friend..." said Bull quietly.

"What do you mean?" asked another woman. She turned to Tony. "I'm Danny, by the way." She pointed to the remaining man. "And this is Chunk."

"Nice to meet all of you," said Tony. He looked to Bull for a moment, then looked back at the team. "What Dr Bull is trying to say is that... he and I are... we're brothers..."
