A sharp light hit the dim eyes of Anthony Dinozzo as he blinked them for the first time, but they quickly closed at the invading rays. Kate's hues had just reached his face when this happened and her first instinct was to violently grip his hand.
"Tony!" She spoke happily as she held his hand, "Tony, wake up. Open your eyes again, come on you can do it Tony!" She spoke in an encouraging motherly tone.
"...Ka..." He hadn't spoken in weeks, the tubes that had been down his throat had been systematically removed to see if he was braindead but that was recently. And so his throat was still dry and cracked. She held out her fingers after she had dripped them in a cup of cool water.
"Easy killer, here is some water for that frog." She smiled and let the drops hit his tounge, she then traced his cracked lips with her wet fingers with that evil smirk upon her lovely face.
His brown eyes flashed with momentary darkness before he quickly took the water, he was trying to keep from falling back into those torturing shadows. He wanted so bad to stay right here, with his lovely partner and have her play nurse more. But it seemed that it was just not possible as he slowly faded once more into the depth of shadow that tortured him so.
Kate sighed lightly and stroked his cheek, "You need rest Tony. Don't fight those shadows if you can't win. Not yet at least my friend." She spoke softly before putting the cup of water back. She squeezed his hand once more before pushing herself up to leave.

"MCGEE!"
"Uh yes boss?"
"Why the hell are you not taking up the slack?"
"Uh...boss I..."
"You what McGee? You didn't know? Don't try to pull that with me! Get to work now!" He snorted before sitting himself carefully behind his desk. His hand still laid clutching at his wounded abdomen, the yelling didn't make it feel any better. But he couldn't go around showing pain now could he?
"Yes boss..." The young agent skittered across the office to his desk and immediately began to start filing paperwork.
"Gibbs, do you have to be so hard on him?" Came Kate's tone as she sat on Gibb's desk much like Tony occasionally sat upon her's.
"Why, yes, yes I do. It is my job to be senior hard ass. And you also need to get to work, since the lovely damsel in distress has not changed his con..."
"Actually, he briefly woke up this morning." Kate smirked, her hand canting to the side with that seductive teasing smirk only women could hold.
"He...really woke up?"
"Only for a moment, he said his first words. Well, part of a word." She smiled innocently as she scooted off his desk and slowly walked over to her's.
"What did he say?"
"Ka, for Kate, Gibbs." She smirked before chuckling and returning to her work.
