Tony's finally had enough. Enough of being belittled, enough of never being good enough. Enough of being forgotten. Gibbs doesn't remember, the explosion made him forget and Tony couldn't take that anymore. Leaving NCIS seems like a good option, and he knows another agency has their eyes on him. He'll be fine eventually,but will his ex-team mates be able to deal with his depature?

A bout with the flu, and an email from a friend, reminds Tony who he really is deep down inside.
