Chapter 2: The Backlash Begins.
"Strap in guys" Don would say over the speakers that are linked to the back of the bird. "We are about to land at NCIS"
"All strapped in back here Don" Merri would say back to them.
After bringing Thunderbird Six down on the roof of the Naval base in DC, Don would unstrap from the chair heading towards the ramp "Stay here, shouldn't be long"
Don would again use the roof entrance, that was added for him to land Six and to be able to enter the base. After making his way down the stairs, he would stand on the walkway overlooking the bullpen. "GRAB YOUR GEAR" he would shout as Ellie, Tony, Ziva, McGee and Gibbs would jump at their desks. Don would laugh a little before smirking at them. Watching the DC team grab their stuff Don would wait.
Within seconds they would be walking past him towards the stairs. Gibbs would stop before slapping Don on the back of the head. Jumping at the shock, Don would rub his head "Why?"
"You're late" Gibbs would say
"Only by a minute"
"Still late Tracy"
"Detour due to a storm over Tennessee"
"Well I would take the slap back, but I feel like there is something else that would require one"
"Yeah about that"
"Go on?"
"I might have feelings for Laurel"
"Pride's daughter?"
"Yeah"
"If they are true, go with them, Izzy wouldn't want you missing out on love. I swear you have a type, the kids of your superiors?"
"I just feel like if I let her into my life something bad would happen" Don would advert his eye contact from Gibbs
"What happened to Izzy and Emma isn't on you, I know Pride would have told you, and this is why I didn't take the slap back"
Don would smirk at the last comment before looking worried again "Gibbs, I hope you aren't upset that I might be moving on from Izzy"
"Don, look at me" Don would turn to look at Gibbs, who would place a hand on the young man's shoulder "I know how it feels to be in your shoes, but you can't keep hold of the past, you need to move on, remember Izzy but please move on"
"I will do Gibbs, I will" Don would say smiling before his phone rings. Pulling it out he would answer it "G? What's wrong?" Don would look alarmed "WHAT? We are on our way, I will push Six to the max and be there under 20 minutes"
Don would pocket his phone before turning to Gibbs "What's happened?"
"The situation got a lot worse, there's been an incident at a hotel, and people are trapped"
"Damn it, let's move" Gibbs and Don would rush on board six surprising the others.
"Strap in" Don would say moving towards the controls followed by Gibbs and Pride. Don would flick a few switches before making sure the teams are strapped in. After taking off he would contact Jeff. "International Rescue we have a situation"
"What's the situation Don?" John would say answering instead of Jeff
"There's been an incident at a hotel in LA, multiple civilians trapped in the building"
"I will get the others and we will all be on our way to help" John would state "Stay safe little brother"
"Always John" Don would say smiling.
After flying for 20 minutes, Don would land Six in the secure area before heading to NCIS LA. "OK LISTEN UP" Don would shout "International Rescue are on the way to the hotel as we speak, We will meet them there and help with anyone that is injured, we are to be ready for anything. I will go into the building to assess the situation and find out what caused the explosion"
"You are not going in there alone D" Sam would say stepping forward.
"I am not putting any of you in harm's way" Don would state "Plus I won't be alone, my family will be in there rescuing civilians, if I get injured or something happens they will get me out"
"Fine, but I am not happy about it" Hetty would state "Get a move on all of you, Myself, Eric and Nell will oversee everything from here, all of you stay safe"
The three teams would head out towards the hotel.
Once arriving at the hotel, Don would get out of the car looking at the mess the explosion had caused. The surrounding buildings damaged by the explosion, flames pouring out of the side of the hotel. Fire Crews and paramedics would be on scene already treating those injured who weren't trapped.
"Ok, LA team take the back of the building, DC Team the left, New Orleans the right, LAPD Will take the front of the building." While the others would be wearing their bullet proof vests, Don wouldn't be wearing his, he would pocket his badge as well as hiding his gun in his jacket.
"Don I don't like you going in there without Kevlar" Pride would state
"I'll be fine" Don would state looking at all the teams before making his way towards the entrance, he would put his IR earpiece in, activating it. "How far out are you guys?"
"5 minutes Don" Scott would state "Dropping Dad, Al and Fermat off to get Six"
"I was about to suggest that, focus on the surrounding buildings first, I will assess the situation in here" Don would state looking around as he walks slowly up the stairs.
"Be safe Don" John would say
"Always, I'm going silent, I will still be able to hear you all" Don would reply switching the coms to receiving only.
As he heads onto the first floor, Don would hear gunshots in the distance. Spinning around to the screams, another set of gunshots would go off on the other side.
Putting in his earpiece he would hold is coms mic closer, whispering he would sneak around, while turning his IR earpiece on again. "Shots fired in two locations, this has turned into an active shooting, International Rescue are advised to remain outside of the hotel until we give the all clear"
"Agent Tracy I order you to get out of there" Hetty would state
"No can do, there are two shooters, one on the east side of the hotel, one on the west"
"Don get out of there" Jeff would say over the coms in a stern tone, turning off his mic to NCIS he would speak solely to his family.
"John how many people are in this hotel?"
"32 in total not including yourself, 16 on each side, all have been rounded up to two areas of the hotel."
"Damn it"
"Don, another heat signature is closing in on you"
Don would turn round pulling out his gun from his jacket pocket, he would aim at the person closing in. "Alexis what the hell"
"Take the east, I got the west"
"I told you to stay out there"
"And I decided not to, Don, you are my family, not by work. You have been there for me throughout everything, especially since I started dating Gordon"
"FAB, take the west, stay on coms, IR switching back"
"FAB Don stay safe" John would state
"NCIS, Alexis is taking the west, I'm taking the east"
"Be careful both of you" Pride would state
While Alexis heads to the west of the hotel, Don would continue on the original path he had chosen, Don would crouch on the balcony overlooking the room where the hostages were held, the lone gunman would be pacing the room as a gunshot goes off in the distance.
"Target is down, extracting Civilians now"
"International rescue and paramedics are waiting outside Alexis, get them out and then go help Don" Eric would say
"Will do"
The remaining gunman would of heard the gunshot, stepping towards the stairs Don would be prepared to take the gunman out. After a few minutes of waiting Don would move closer to the stairs he thought the gunman would be coming up, seeing the gunman not on the stairs Don would stiffen as a gun clicks at the back of his head.
"You shouldn't have come here" The gunman would say "Get up, hands in the air"
Don would slowly get up from his crouch, holding his hands in the air the gunman would take his gun "Who else is with you?"
"No one"
"Someone has to be here, as my friend on the other side wasn't responding so I assume he has been taken out.
"Just like you will be" Alexis would say shooting the second gunman point blank. The gunman would drop to the floor; Don would turn around smirking as he picks up his gun from the gunman.
"Perfect timing"
"Always, John alerted me to you having a gun aimed at you"
"Cheers Spacecase" Don would say
"No worries brother" John would say over the coms
"Ok, let's get these civilians out of here" Don would state as he and Alexis start helping people out. "I will meet you outside" Don would say looking to Alexis
"Don't be long"
As Alexis leaves with the civilians, Don would remain in the room looking around. "Don everything ok, you haven't left with the others?"
"Something doesn't feel right"
"What do you mean?"
"This was too easy, John scan the building"
"Already on it" John would say "Shit, you're right, Don get out of there, there's a second bomb about to go off"
Don would start to run up the stairs towards the entrance of the hotel. As he enters the lobby the bomb would explode, the ceiling in front of the doors would collapse, blocking the exit.
Don would stop as he turns around to another explosion. "DON" His family would yell through the coms, hoping to get a response. He would close his eyes getting ready for the impact, however nothing would hit. Opening his eyes he would see the debris and flames flow around him. Turning to where light was coming through, he would see a silhouette of a male who would walk away.
"What the" Don would say as he blacks out.
Outside, everyone would have taken cover as the bombs exploded. Pride and Gibbs would stand up first looking at each other as International Rescue set to work to get to Don who was trapped inside.
"DON" Alexis would shout as LaSalle holds her back.
"No" Ziva would say looking shocked.
"My god" Ellie would say as Gibbs moves towards her.
Jen would arrive in an ambulance, stepping out of the back she would look at the building in shock. She would turn to Pride. "Don?" She would say
Pride would shake his head as Jen turns to where the Mole, piloted by Virgil, would be currently digging. Alan would be in the bulldozer moving debris while Gordon was in the firefly dealing with the fires.
Don would wake up in what he used to call the dreamworld. He would see a bright light at the other side as he stands up.
"Oh my darling Arrow" Lucille would say as Don turns to his mother.
"Mom?"
"Hey kiddo"
"Am i?"
"No Don you're not"
"Then why?"
"Your mind brought you here for a reason Donnie"
"What reason?"
"I don't know, but you will figure it out eventually. You need to go back Don"
"Mom, I love you"
"I love you too Arrow"
The dreamworld would fade as Don starts to hear a voice "Don, wake up for me, please you need to wake up" Don would slowly open his eyes to the bright light from around him "Oh thank god, Don can you hear me?"
"Virg?"
"Yeah bro, I'm here" Virgil would help Don sit up "What's with you and buildings collapsing on you?"
Don would chuckle, coughing a little before smirking. Gordon would soon drop next to them. "Hey Gords" Gordon would pull Don into a hug.
"Stop doing that too us"
"I'll try"
"Gordon stay with Don, I need to go grab some equipment"
"FAB Virg"
Don would watch Virgil head back up to grab his equipment, after his brother had left their view, Don would turn to Gordon looking scared.
"Gords?"
"Yeah bro?"
"I'm scared"
"What why?"
"I can't, I can't feel my legs"
Gordons face would drop as Don reveals this. "We are going to get through this, I am going to help you, like you helped me after the hydrofoil crash. But you are going to have to tell Virgil."
"Tell me what?" Virgil would say as he and Scott head down with a board and some other medical equipment.
Don would look away from his twin and older brother. "Don, you need to tell us" Scott would say looking concerned.
Don would turn back to them, tears forming in his eyes. "Virg, I can't feel my legs"
Scott would pull Don into a hug while looking at Virgil, both looking shocked and worried. Scott would then turn to Gordon who would nod his head topside. Gordon would nod before heading back up. As Gordon leaves, Virgil would begin checking over Don.
As Gordon walks back to the others, everyone else would have left apart from NCIS and International Rescue, Pride would turn around to see the look on Gordon's face. "Gordon what's wrong?" Everyone would turn to face the redheaded Tracy.
"Don said" He would waver a little bit making Jeff move towards him. "Don said he can't feel his legs" Everyone would look worried, John would pull Alan towards him as Jeff pulls Gordon into a hug "What if he can never walk again"
"We will work through it Gordon, you know that" Jeff would say
"But Don would be broken"
"At first, but we will support him no matter what. Let's get him moved back to the island so Brains can examine him further. Gordon, if this is Temporary, he will need all the help he can get, and that needs to come from you as much as it can"
"Because I've been where he is?"
"Exactly kiddo" Jeff would say as Virgil and Scott appear from the debris carrying Don on the board.
