NCIS and SHIELD Divided c36
"You okay?" Ellie asked after Sam had stopped coughing.
"Who?" Sam asked waving off Bobbie's concern when Ellie went to tell her that was not the rule Sam glared at her. "Screw the rules, tell me who?" Sam asked
"Guess I win then?"
"Yes you win, now who?" Sam asked
"Promise you won't do anything to him?" Ellie asked
"I won't hurt him." Sam stated but as she did she started to dread the answer thinking of the single males within the packs there were only a couple still free.
"It is Hunter." Ellie stated watching as Sam went rigid her mouth actually fell open as she looked at her.
"Lance Hunter? That Hunter?"
"Yes."
"You and Hunter?"
"Yes."
"Lance Hunter? English merc turned agent?"
"Yes." Ellie stated letting annoyance lace her tone at her sister's antics.
"I am going to need a minute." Sam stated "Hunter and my sister….Maria where is Hunter?" Sam asked turning to look at her alpha.
"Not here at the moment. We have him on a mission." Maria replied she was masking her amusement at what was going on, she had no idea what Ellie was getting at when she went over to her with the alcohol, but this is the most normal Sam has been since she returned.
"The minute he comes back I would very much like a word with him." Sam stated
"Hey you said you wouldn't do anything to him." Ellie pointed out
"I was only going to have a word with him." Sam stated but Ellie knew that tone it was one she used when they were kids it usually meant she was only speaking half truths. "Thank you." Sam stated
"What for?" Ellie asked
"Don't get me to say it, you know…you slowed it down, made it clear even if it is just for an hour." Sam stated she was fiddling with the clay again.
"Don't try to bury it Sam, I am here if you want to talk."
"Talk? I'm tired." Sam said getting up and once again the others in the room felt her putting up the walls. She moved back into her lab leaving them in the room Bobbie gave Ellie a grateful smile before following after her mate.
"What was that game you were playing?" Maria asked
"One for one. It is where you each say one good thing and one bad. Depends on how bad or good it is depends on if you take the drink. The number one rule is that whatever is said is strictly confidential and you can't ask questions. The person can say as much or little as they like. The winner is the person to say something that gets the other person to break that rule. It is something we came up with when we were younger." Ellie replied
"Are you heading back into work?" Maria asked
"Yeah, Sam said some things I want to check out." Ellie stated Maria nodded reminding her that she was welcome any time back here and watched as Ellie left the pack house and entered her car, before she turned on the engine Bobbie came out and handed her a piece of paper on the paper was a list of numbers Bobbie had no idea what they meant when she asked Sam about it she didn't respond she just told her that Ellie would know what they are for...but she didn't. She sat there for a few minutes just thinking about everything she had witnessed with her sister before sighing putting the paper in her pocket, she could help her by finding this leak hopefully he could lead them to Garret that was if she could figure out what Sam had meant. She drove back to the city.
When she returned to the ballpein she was somewhat glad that the others were not there she did not want to discuss her talk with her sister, she was still trying to come to terms with what she saw. She started her search on Lieutenant Commanders and something to do with 09, the description was broad and she had no idea what the rest of what Sam had stated meant so did not know if it was important. She was at her computer for a while she did not notice that Tony had returned he sat across from her doing his own work.
"Update?" Gibbs asked entering this made Ellie look up at him as he was looking at her.
"Not sure yet." Ellie stated when he gave her a pointed look she knew he was wanting her to elaborate. "She gave me some stuff but it could be nothing…"
"Or it could be something." Gibbs stated
"There is nothing on the intel she gave me yet. Just give me some more time to run it down." Ellie stated she had a list of names that she was still checking.
"Share it with DiNozzo." Gibbs stated so Ellie gave him the list when Gibbs did not move right away she returned her attention to him. "Sam?"
"She is still dealing with what they did to her…she hasn't really talked about it but she is with Bobbie right now."
"You can stay with her." Gibbs stated but Ellie shook her head.
"Finding this leak is top priority when we find them they will lead us to Garret." Ellie stated
"Have you got this?" Gibbs asked
"Yes." Ellie replied he nodded before walking off Tony came over to her when he saw the numbers on the paper Ellie had been trying to figure out what they meant.
"She give you those numbers too?" Tony asked
"Yeah still trying to figure out what they mean. She wasn't very clear on this intel." Ellie stated
"How is she?" Tony asked not wanting the basic answer she gave Gibbs
"She has been through a lot this year." Ellie replied even though Tony was not impressed with the same basic response he did not push her for more answers.
"And you?" Tony asked he was worried for her.
"I will be better when we catch the people responsible." Ellie stated turning her attention back to her laptop.
It was late and still they had nothing to show for what they were looking for, Gibbs had returned from a meeting when he told them to go home and return in the morning they both needed the rest. So Ellie found herself heading back to her apartment, part of her wanted to go back to the pack house but she didn't want to return empty handed.
Meanwhile back at the pack house…
Sam was in the lab, she had been there since Ellie had left she had not said a word to Bobbie after giving her the list of numbers and did not look at Maria when she checked on her. Natasha was called in on a mission even though she did not want to go with Garret still out there somewhere but this mission was from Nick so she could not refuse it.
"Sam let's go to bed." Bobbie stated it was already well into the night and Sam looked like she needed the sleep.
"No, I'm not tired." Sam replied
"That is a lie, come with me." Bobbie stated moving over and taking her hand and leading her into their room. "Lie down with me." Bobbie stated even though Sam looked back at the door Bobbie moved so she was in her line of sight. "I won't leave you."
"I can't Bob." Sam stated looking into her eyes and Bobbie could see the pain in them.
"Lie with me." Bobbie repeated holding her gaze she felt more than saw Sam fidget as she stood there.
"Suppose I could lie down for a while." Sam mumbled Bobbie nodded as they got ready for bed Sam then laid down and Bobbie moved so that she was behind her and held her against her. Bobbie used their soul bond to help Sam relax enough that she ended up falling asleep pressed up against her.
Sam opened her eyes startled as she looked around to find they were not in the pack house but they were in an apartment she saw Bobbie standing next to her, part of her was expecting something terrible to happen so she waited.
"This is a dream, we are asleep back at the pack house." Bobbie stated "I didn't want to try this until now, wasn't sure how you would react. Do you know where we are?" Bobbie asked this made Sam look around.
"This was our apartment back in LA." Sam stated still waiting for something bad to happen.
"This was our first place together away from SHIELD." Bobbie stated
"Didn't last long." Sam stated
"Still we had some good times here." Bobbie stated this did make Sam smirk "We stayed inside for a week, in our own little world just you and me." She added
"Why are we here?"
"Do you remember why we had to leave this place?" Bobbie asked she was leaning up on the couch looking at Sam.
"We got reassigned." Sam stated
"It is still ours." Bobbie stated
"What?" Sam asked looking up at Bobbie
"Yeah, with Maria's help I managed to buy it…off record under an alias but it is still ours."
"That was 5 and a half years ago." Sam stated "We stayed here for a year…"
"We did."
"You want to move back here?" Sam asked
"Once everything is settled, after we find Garret this could be our home."
"What about work? Do you really want to be stationed at the batcave again?"
"You know that is not what it is actually called."
"Unofficially it is. You did not answer me."
"It was not that bad."
"It was lab work." Sam pointed out
"The lab is not that bad, but I was thinking of the job offer to lead the strike team Bruno is retiring.
"You want to be part of a strike team?"
"If you are." Bobbie stated
"I don't think…" Sam looked down at her hand.
"That won't be a problem, once you have been cleared we will start a new training regime to get you back in shape." Bobbie stated
"I am not out of shape." Sam retorted this made Bobbie give a small smile.
"That is also if you want to go back in the field." Bobbie stated this made Sam pause did she want that?
"I don't know yet." Sam stated after a pause in their conversation she was looking down at her feet.
"It is okay, besides it was only one of my many ideas…" Bobbie stated this made Sam look back at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh? What other ideas do you have?" Sam asked as Bobbie moved closer to her.
"For now, no more talking…" Bobbie stated kissing her stopping all protests from Sam as she kissed her back. All other thoughts and notions gone from their mind as Sam ended up pulling her towards the bedroom not caring that this was a dream, here she felt normal and her wolf was wanting her mate.
