NCIS and SHIELD Divided c34

Three days Sam had been back for three days in that time she has just had contact with Bobbie, Maria kept turning up but not wanting to overwhelm her only stayed for a short time doing a check up before leaving her to it. Sam had spent most of her time in the lab fiddling with the new prototype. Bobbie never too far away from her, she rarely let her out of her sight. Sam had slowly began opening up and talking about what had happened but would easily get distracted and lose focus of the conversation. They were out in the kitchen Bobbie was cooking them breakfast and Sam was actually helping to Bobbie she seemed more relaxed after they had finished cooking they moved to the couch and sat watching a movie, Sam agreeing to watch Star Wars.

'I'm coming in.' Natasha informed Bobbie over the link

'Nat don't she is finally in a good place.'

'We need to know.' Natasha replied they had no idea if Sam would try to kill her or Clint and they had been debating on how they were going to find out. Natasha's simple solution she was going to enter the room. When she entered the room Bobbie instantly felt Sam go tense against her as she turned to look at Natasha, Bobbie couldn't get a read on what Sam would do next. She did note that Sam sat up straight and kept herself between Bobbie and Natasha…she was waiting for something that became clear. Sam was watching Natasha closely Bobbie could feel her anger as she noticed the clenched fist as Natasha moved over to them. They both knew she was being cautious as she watched Sam's reactions closely. She ended up standing keeping herself between Bobbie and Natasha, her hand remained in a clenched fist as Natasha took another step.

"Sam." She greeted with a nod her hands were held somewhat out to show she meant no harm. This did not help Sam relax though. "I see Bobbie's got you watching Star Wars again, which one is this?" Natasha asked hoping to get Sam talking, the room was thick with tension. Natasha took another step but this time Sam took a step back so that she was practically pressed up against Bobbie. Natasha was close now that she could stretch out and touch her but this is where she stopped moving. Natasha was on alert so when Sam threw the first punch she dodged it only for Sam to land a blow on her jaw with her other hand Natasha took a step back ready to defend herself but Sam did not go after her.

"Sam!" Bobbie called her name resting her hand on her shoulder bringing her back to the present, Bobbie knew that she was having a flashback to one of her nightmares. Sam blinked a couple of times before relaxing out of her ready stance her hands went to her head as she stepped back from Natasha she was shaking her head as Bobbie pulled her in for a hug.

"I'm sorry Nat." Sam stated she was still holding her head as Bobbie tried reassuring her. "Oh god what is wrong with me?" Sam mumbled getting out of Bobbie's grasp she moved out of the lounge mumbling more apologizes. Bobbie didn't even look at Nat as she followed after her mate somewhat surprised to find her outside under a tree hugging her knees. Bobbie moved over to her sitting down next to her. "Was she alright? I don't know what happened, I just-I got so angry…I kept seeing her with your blood…I know it was not real…that she would not hurt you…I just…I got so angry." Sam stated but it was muffled considering she was talking into her knees.

"She forgives you Sam, she understands."

"I know why she was there, I remember what Garret said. I don't want to hurt her like that."

"So no urges to kill her, good to know." Bobbie stated but she made no comment instead she hugged her legs tighter. "This is the first time you've come outside."

"I needed some air. Some space to think…"

"What's on your mind?" Bobbie asked

"You don't want to know what is on my mind at the moment. It is pretty messed up right now." Sam replied as they drifted into silence. Bobbie sat with her, not speaking every now and then she would turn to look at her and see she was in the same position hugging her legs. It was her that broke the silence with a sigh. "I want to go out." Sam stated after a while.

"Where?" Bobbie asked

"Anywhere…nowhere…I don't know. I just want to get away." Sam stated "I want to disappear. I don't want to do this anymore." Sam muttered. "I'm still waiting to be debriefed but I don't want to be debriefed because I know they have questions…questions I don't want to answer. I can't distinguish what was real or not how can anything I say be relevant what if I give them wrong intel?" Sam was now whispering not looking over at Bobbie but she knew she was watching her.

Meanwhile at NCIS

Ellie was at her desk, she was worried about Sam but Maria had said that she was with Bobbie right now and that was the best thing for her. Ellie looked over at Tim's desk, he was on leave recovering. The doctors said he was lucky, he was severely beaten but nothing was broken. Gibbs figured after being informed that they were trying to break him so he would work for them that they wanted him in good condition so no broken bones. Gibbs kept sending glances across at Ellie as they all sat in silence working. Tony was also at his desk looking over at Ellie also, she could feel them looking at her but neither of them had spoken. They were still working with SHIELD trying to locate the man that had taken McGee and Gibbs was getting annoyed with them it seemed like they were putting up a lot of red tape.

"What?" Ellie finally asked when she caught them both staring at her.

"What's up with you?" Tony asked

"I'm annoyed that both of you keep staring at me as I am trying to get my work done." Ellie replied

"No, you have been acting weird since coming back from working with your sister." Tony stated he knew this was the wrong thing to say as he saw her expression change. "How is she?" He asked after a slight hesitation.

"I don't know, I haven't had the chance to see her." Ellie sighed she saw the look between Gibbs and Tony as they shared a look.

"You should go see her." Gibbs stated but there was something in his tone that had her thinking it was not just to check on her.

"We need you to ask her about this leak, see if she knows anything more."

"SHIELD has told us…you think they are holding back?"

"I would rather hear it in person…asking her to come in is the other option, but I think a conversation with you is easier." He stated he remembers McGee's report how Sam had tried saving him three different times the first time she was clothed the other two she wasn't. the last two times McGee was concerned he had told them that she was sort of out of it…more jumpy, more hurt so Gibbs didn't want to put any extra stress on her by bringing her in.

"In all honesty I'm scared." Ellie stated "If what McGee said…when we saw her…They hurt her Gibbs." That much she knew was true, Maria had been keeping her updated hearing everything second hand is something but seeing it in person what if she reacts badly? What if she makes her worse? Gibbs moved over to her so that he was standing in front of her.

"I can go." He stated but Ellie shook her head, she would go. She needed to see her anyway.

"I will go." Ellie stated when she saw the looks she was getting she gathered what they meant. "Oh, you mean now. Right…okay." Ellie said getting up gathering her things she looked back at her team.

"We are just a call away." Gibbs stated and Ellie nodded before walking out of the ballpein and onto the elevator.
