Time line: After the fall of Sunnydale. Buffy and Dawn have been in Italy a year. Xander has been to Africa and is back. Willow is back from South America.

Part 21 Dented Egos

Four hours later-

Hettie was not happy. She could not believe her team had followed her, despite her being quite clear that what she was doing was none of their concern. However, short of causing a scene there was little she could do.

She silently cursed the fact that they could not leave well enough alone and that they were so damned well trained. It was a good thing when they were after the bad guys; not quite so good when they decided to babysit her. What was infuriating was that she had been in the game longer than all of her agents had lived, and yet she still hadn't spotted them until now. She sighed and decided that she would have to have a rather severe talk with them at a later date. The last thing she wanted was to blow their collective covers.

Maybe she would just hand them all over to Leon Vance. After all, the Director of NCIS had to be good for something. Honestly, right now she was afraid to talk to her team, because she was simply too angry. A part of her loved that they wanted to protect her but, the part that was in charge knew this insubordination could not stand.

Vance would deal with it, so she would not tear her team, her family, apart.

6 pm

Dr. Mark Sloan came out of the surgery and walked over to the waiting family. He was smiling as he said, "Miss McGee is out of surgery and should, barring any complications, have a full and complete recovery."

Tim McGee let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding.

Buffy set down her empty coffee cup and was embraced by Dawn with a rather strong hug. Dawn tossed her own cup to the side with little care not even noticing as Gibbs grabbed it.

Tony grabbed the empty cup and went to bag it, only to have his hand caught by Xander. Tony glared as Xander simply said, "Nope, I don't think so."

Faith was not as nice as she caught Gibbs by the back of the neck. "Yo, dude, I get you guys are law men and all. But this is a bit insane. Whatcha doing? Going to arrest little D for littering now?"

Buffy spun around and looked as her two friends now had the NCIS agents immobilized. Ziva stiffened and was reaching for her gun, only to find it was gone. She looked up and froze when she saw Buffy had it in her hands. Somehow, when she had passed her, the blonde had lifted her weapon. She would have been embarrassed had Tony's gun not been in the boy, X's, hands and now casually stuck in the back of his pants. Gibbs' weapon was in Faith's hands and Tim's was in Buffy's; somehow they had all been disarmed and were frozen.

Dr. Sloan chuckled at this and said, "Sam said you all were good. She never said you were this good."

Gibbs growled and suddenly knew that Sloan was in on this, somehow. He wanted to rip the doctor in half for this set up. He would toss the man below the brig if any of his team was hurt or this messed up their case someway.

"Sara?"

"She really is doing far better than we had any right to hope for. Of course, the blood helped. "He nodded toward Buffy, Dawn and Faith who merely shrugged.

Donating was a small thing. After all, they were all universal donors. All three women had donated and the extra boost from the mystical properties could only help. Dawn might not be a slayer, but her blood was still better than most humans. It was actually very similar to the slayers' blood in that it had extra potency when used in a transfusion. It also did not hurt that they were all family. Well, she and Buffy were at least. Dawn thought.

Gibbs was not happy. He could not believe he had been stopped from getting the prints and that he and his team were now unarmed. He tried to get free.

Buffy looked at Faith and said, "Let gramps go."

"Ok, B, but I reserve the right to say I told you so..." She let him go and pushed him away. Gibbs spun around to try to tackle her, but Faith's booted foot hit him hard and he went down to his knees. He glared and Faith causally looked at Buffy who nodded and she twisted the gun in half. Ziva froze and looked and noted that Buffy did the same with Tim's weapon.

Tony gulped and looked at Xander and said, "Please don't. It was a gift..."

Xander grinned and stripped it down while holding onto the magazine of bullets, then tossed the pieces at the now trembling agent. "It's cool."

Gibbs could not believe his eyes. That kid just field stripped a weapon in seconds. He had done it in the same way special ops trained Marine would. That did not sit well with Gibbs at all. He looked at the one eyed man and wondered suddenly if he had lost that eye in combat?

"We told you we would talk later. Keep pushing and that talk will be never," Buffy warned. "We've done nothing wrong and you, gramps, are starting to piss me off."

Just then Gibbs' phone rang. He stood up and pulled it out, still watching his "prisoners." He was not happy and was now seriously considering charging them with assault. Of course, he hated to admit B might have a point, so he ignored it.

"Gibbs." He listened and frowned, hating that he was going to have to divide his team up. However, there was no way he was not sending Tony to pick up Hettie. It did not matter to Gibbs that her team had tagged along. If the assistant director was in town, she would be picked up and protected by one of his team. "Tony, you have to go to Ronald Reagan and pick up a guest from L.A."

Tony looked at Gibbs and was about to ask who, but the look on his boss's face said 'not now,' so he simply nodded. Well, he knew the team from L.A., so it was bound to be one of them. Gibbs pulled the keys for the larger SUV from his pocket and tossed them at his agent. "Go and get them to HQ as soon as possible."

"Sure thing, Boss," he said, glad that this order got him released. Today was such a blow to his ego.

I so need to work out more, Tony thought.
