NCIS and SHIELD Divided c28

Sam did not like being in wolf form, not this way…she was getting used to walking on three legs but it was the fact that she couldn't shift back until Maria told her that she could that was bothering her. She understood why considering each morning Maria or one of the others that were in the house would check her arm. She couldn't see the problem, but apparently there was one. The only time she enjoyed this was when Bobbie joined her in wolf form and they went for a run out in the forest out back…although not a lot of running took place. It had been 10 days since she had changed and each morning for the last five she had been looking at Maria expectantly waiting for her to tell her she could change back. So far the answer has been no and today was no exception. She found herself outside in amongst the trees, running…she tried jumping over a fallen tree only to land weirdly that ended with her crashing to the ground. She grumbled to herself as she got back up only to stop the scent of blood drifted up. Forcing her to look down at her arm it was bleeding. A twig snapped making her look up a low growl rose in her chest only to stop when she recognized who it was that was coming. Bobbie came through the trees moving next to her giving her a once over before moving so she was next to her, Sam tried to rise but Bobbie placed her hand on her shoulder making her lie down. Sam whined as Bobbie looked over her leg.

"You've torn the skin, it might need a couple of stitches." Bobbie stated at which Sam did whine at, she would rather turn back and have stitches in human form than have to wait in wolf form. "That you will have to ask Maria." Bobbie stated knowing what she was wanting. Sam huffed as Bobbie got her standing and together the two of them walked back to the house. There they were met by Natasha considering Maria was at work as she was walking she was in contact with Maria who finally agreed to her plan so as she walked she changed back into human form. That was painful…when she was back in human form the first thing she did was grab her arm that was bleeding. Bobbie ended up stitching her up inside so far no one had spoken…Natasha was standing back letting Bobbie do her work as Sam was looking at her. "Ask me." Bobbie stated

"I would rather ask you once you have finished stitching me up." Sam replied looking from her eyes to the work she was doing on her arm.

"You want to know if I knew about Ellie." Bobbie stated "I am a little offended that you think I can't multitask." Bobbie added

"I know you can multitask…it is more of the fact that I can't move until you have finished stitching me up." Sam replied

"Well I am done." Bobbie said making the last stitch before putting the equipment down and giving Sam her undivided attention as she wrapped her arm in a bandage.

"You told me you checked on her, that she was fine." Sam stated

"I did tell you that." Bobbie stated "When I did check on her she was still in her apartment. She was fine…they must have brought her in after." Bobbie stated

"Did you know they brought her in?" Sam asked

"After they had administered the first shot yes." Bobbie replied waiting for Sam to lash out or shout at her for not telling her.

"Would you have told me?" Sam asked

"We were under orders not to." Bobbie replied

"Do you know why? Why they brought her on?" Sam asked at which Bobbie shook her head.

"I was not informed why…"

"You had been staying with her though yes?" Sam asked

"Yes." Bobbie stated and Sam went silent, she did not say anything but Bobbie could feel her across their bond and she was upset.

"If I can't be there for Ellie, I want you to be there for her. I am not happy about it but there is nothing I can do about it. Bobbie please, take care of my sister." Sam stated looking up at her and Bobbie could see in her eyes that she was pleading with her. "How long has she been there? When was she given the first dosage?" Sam asked

"Two weeks." Bobbie replied

"Where do NCIS think she is?" Sam asked it was going to be difficult to explain why she was away for six weeks.

"Home, they think she is there helping you." Bobbie replied "She has two more doses left."

"Why?" Sam asked

"I can't answer that." Bobbie replied taking a step closer to her but Sam shook her head moving back on the bench, Bobbie stopped and looked at her

"Is there anything else you have been keeping from me?" Sam asked

"Sharon is dating Steve." Bobbie stated

"What?" Sam asked she knew there was tension between the two and was happy for her friend she always thought they would eventually get together…

"Lincoln has been cleared to start the process." She added "And I was the one that broke your Elton John record not Hunter, but I think you already knew that." Bobbie stated looking at Sam who had moved to the other side of the bench and jumped off so she was standing. She gave Bobbie a pointed look.

"Interesting you should bring that up…you remember your star wars poster Hunter didn't rip it." Sam stated and the two of them stared at each other for what felt like to Natasha a long time as it was an awkward silence then the both of them ended up grinning.

"So Hunter is your fall guy too?"

"Or Clint." Sam shrugged Bobbie moved around to her and they hugged that was when Natasha walked away.

"You two are weird you know that right?" Natasha muttered as she left making both of them laugh again.

Sam was pressed against Bobbie breathing in her scent she closed her eyes for the first time in the last few days she felt at peace, like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. She ended up kissing her to which Bobbie responded in passion, Sam was the one to step back…

"As much as I want to continue I was serious when I asked you to go and be with Ellie…I can't leave until Maria says I can so can you stay with her?" Sam stated Bobbie looked at her for a while not saying anything before leaning in an kissing her she stepped back and nodded going to grab her bag Sam watched from the bench as she left the house. "How long must I stay here for?" Sam asked Natasha who was leaning against the door after Bobbie was gone, it was just the two of them there seeming Alexa and Wanda were out on a date.

"You're still recovering."

"I want to be there for Ellie." Sam stated

"We know, but for now stay here. She has Maria, May and now Bobbie. Wait until the stitches come out then maybe we can make another trip to the apartment…just no more lashing out at Nick."

"I don't regret it. He deserved a lot more than a punch." Sam stated

"I know."

"Was this his plan all along?"

"What makes you ask that?" Natasha asked she also knew that Maria was interested in that answer.

"He was the one to bring her on, I know that Maria wouldn't have wanted to bring her on, not without my opinion and she would have known I would have said no. I would have fought them on this. Nick was also the one to order Maria to bite me with this mark…if I didn't have it I would have challenged him for doing this and I don't think Maria would have been able to stop me. I was that angry…still am I can't just react to it because of this." Sam said pointing to her shoulder. "When I came back from running, they asked me why I ran… I still don't know why. I remember feeling this need to leave…silent commands. I don't think it was Maria and there is only one other wolf that could do it and that is him. I just don't understand why he wants Ellie, she is not a SHIELD agent and so far that is all the packs are agents of SHIELD. What is he playing at? Does this mean he is trying to branch out…" Sam stopped as pain erupted in her head she placed her hand to her head. "I will be in my room." Sam said knowing it would be best for now to drop it, but she will get her answers.
