Hello guys
Moving onto the guest reviewers first thank you all for the reviews. And for the ones coming to my aid of NotAHater, AuthorRights, WellDone, LOLLOLLOL, and the five unnamed guests thank you for your support, along with calling the haters out on their bull crap regarding certain relationship or characters. It means a lot to me.
I've gotten not just counting the reviews you see but 21 others I deleted bringing up the toxic hate mail to 40 reviews in total. You people who are attacking this story all need to get lives.
Moving onto address the positive guest reviewers, and for the unnamed guests I'll list you by numbers from earliest to most recent
NotAHater: Some of these people watch the show but they are clearly watching a different one.
Yeah, it was about two or three years, I'm not all that positive myself for how long Ziva kept Tali from Tony.
Frankly, it doesn't matter Ziva keeping Tali from Tony is pretty unforgivable, especially since she had a lack of good reason prior to going on the run and really this whole TIVA baby just shows how much the writers came up with a huge thing of BS to shove this at the viewers.
Really the writers long since sunk the TIVA ship and pandering to shippers is never a good idea anyway. That's all Tony/Ziva, Gibbs/Jack Sloane or Ellie Bishop/Nick is. Dumb pandering.
AuthorRights: Yes, the insane TIVA fans are at it again with their usual toxic bullcrap and nothing new before. From the Oliver/Laurel fans I've dealt with on Arrow, Barry/Iris on Flash, Clark/Lois, in general, yeah this is nothing I haven't experienced or seen before.
Exactly this is fan fiction, I can and do write the story the way I want. Which yes that is exactly what fanfic is for.
Oh, don't worry I've long since gotten used to toxic fanbases, and all these Ziva crybabies or the other ones do is just fuel me to keep going my own way.
WellDone: Thank you for the congratulations. Yes, I have managed to stir up various elements from upset TIVA fans to Harm/Mac shippers, another toxic pairing and even some Tony DiNozzo stans.
Thank you for the salute and at ease solider
LOLLOLLOL: Your message is a bit confusing but yeah clearly, they care about trashing my story. It's not going to run me off, however.
Guest #1: Guess you're saying you like the McGee/Bishop pairing if I'm reading you correctly? Thanks, always nice to see more McGee/Bishop fans.
Yes, the Under-Siege film for the first one is a good movie and nice to see another Harm/Meg fan. Glad you're enjoying the story thus far
Guest #2: Agreed Ziva pushing Tony to the ground and shoving a gun into him was abuse, nothing else. Yeah, it's like the Rey/Kylo Ren or Joker/Harley Quinn fans who think they are healthy couples I feel sorry for their friends and family.
Especially when you factor into Ziva keeping Tony's child away from him for years simply because makes it into a not so healthy relationship.
Guest #3: Oh, totally agree of either before the birth or during her being born, just after, would have been the correct time. Instead, Ziva robbed Tony of those very precious years for never getting to know his child.
As I've said before just further bullcrap by the NCIS writers for shoving this in there of a sudden TIVA kid.
Yes, physical assault is abuse, period regardless of reasons. (Yes it was self-defense he killed Rivkin, not out of jealousy unlike what the show Ziva thinks or the TIVA fans) No kidding, the show really did but then again they've always been obsessed with getting things back to the status quo as soon as possible, or well whatever the new one is.
Yes, NCIS has been the number 1 show for years without Ziva so it shows it can very easily get by without her in it.
Frankly, I'm hoping after Ziva leaves for the first episode on the back half of season 17, the character and the TIVA romance stays gone. NCIS needs to get back to moving on, not stuck in the past.
Guest #4: Glad you loved this and can't wait for more. I'll have to check those out at some point when I get the chance
Oh no kidding the NCIS fanbase, especially TIVA/Ziva fans like this and others like them have really dissolved into a sorry state of affairs
Yeah that's what happens of authors just don't want to bother since the fanbase gets so toxic, I can't say I blame them.
P.S. Hmm for Ducky fans on getting them so riled up? I'm sure I could come up with something.
Guest #5: Well I've found crossover section or not, at least with the JAG fandom doesn't tend to make that big of a difference. At least for my works.
Glad you agree Abby acts like a total immature brat from the Dog Tags episode, to her constant Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs crap which I can't stand.
I didn't realize she cheated on McGee with the barista. Yeah while a bad show retcon, given what the show made her into I can't say that's entirely not fitting of her character either.
Actually, used to like Abby like during her season 1 self for quirky, but mature only the writers very quickly destroyed that.
Now that this long author notes are over on with the show
Later in a hallway
Coming around a corner McGee quickly retreats behind cover as two men some distance down start shooting at him where he eventually waits until they run of ammo. Moving around once more Timothy raising up his handgun shoots both men in their chests a few times sending them down lifeless.
Moving downwards McGee doesn't see the nearby door open as he gets tackled into the wall by a thug, with another coming out holding a crowbar. Hearing the gun clatter to the ground Tim quickly regaining his bearings kicks the first thug in his privates causing him to go stumbling backward as McGee swiftly putting the terrorist in a headlock breaks his neck.
The next terrorist swings at Tim who steps out of the way with grabbing the man's arm holding the crowbar twists it until breaking it, then kicks the man's knee in breaking that too. Letting the man fall to the floor he passes out from too much pain. Grabbing the fallen handgun McGee turns making his way down the hallway looking for hopefully something that will be an exit out of this place or a room containing information for whatever Ziva David's plan is.
If not hopefully both, Tim notes with a grimace since he's starting to lose energy, and none of the terrorists carry cell phones. He guesses they only get burner phones upon leaving the compound so less of a chance for calls being traced. Ziva's smart, she knows how to stay one step ahead. Of course, McGee knows she tends to not plan for the unexpected.
Reaching the corridor's McGee finding the sole remaining door with checking to see he's only got a few rounds left pushes open the door. Entering the room Tim briefly freezes upon seeing Ziva David who reaches for her gun. As McGee raises up his gun to pull the trigger it misfires causing to swiftly head for the door and behind the wall as Ziva opens fire.
As Ziva comes around the corner Tim tackles her into the wall forcing the former Mossad agent to drop her gun as McGee gives a brutal blow to her mid-section, especially the breast bone severely cracking causing Ziva to yell in pain, then even more pain when McGee hits the same bone again. Reaching up McGee grabs her head with slamming it into the wall just as Ziva manages to desperately sweep kick the NCIS's agent's legs out from underneath of him.
Crashing to the ground Tim manages to roll out of the way of another kick from Ziva with getting to his feet while blocking the pain in his leg. Only still not having his bearings Ziva having made a quick few steps over begins giving punch after punch to McGee's upper body.
Getting a punch right in his mouth McGee spits out a mouthful of blood with ducking another kick steps behind her with grabbing her scarf. Managing to reach up one of her hands between her neck and fabric pushes the material outward, with Ziva is loosens allowing the terrorist to escape the cloth entirely. Pulling out one of her knives Ziva slashes McGee across his chest before stabbing the knife into Tim's left shoulder which elects a yell of pain from McGee.
Only Tim hits Ziva right in her face breaking her nose then gives David a couple of hard punches to the former NCIS's agent's upper body breaking her ribs which causes her to let out a yell of pain. Grabbing Ziva's arm when she goes to punch who's now finding it harder to draw breath Tim twists it breaking David's left arm. Not done yet Tim kicks in Ziva's right knee breaking it causing her to scream painfully before placing her in a chokehold.
"What… none of this was in your file. How did you learn all this, you're just a computer geek" Ziva spits out venomously.
Tim giving no response uses the time to snap her neck with letting Ziva's body drop to the ground a broken, bloodied mess. Sighing McGee has a mix of emotions for having to kill a woman who despite everything was his friend at one point, but knows she'd never quit. Fighting or coming after the people he cares for. One thing he learned from Gibbs is sometimes an enemy must be stopped permanently like with Harper Dearing or Paloma Reynosa. Still knows the image of Ziva's body lying there in this cold, dirty floor will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Deciding to check out the room Ziva was in Tim pushing past any pain makes his way back into the room with walking over to a desk Ziva was using. Standing at the table McGee begins looking over the papers Ziva was looking at with glancing over in the corner of the room to find to his growing horror various metal cases all with explosive names on them which Tim recognizes are stolen from various army bases.
Returning to the papers which contain various plans McGee putting the pieces together figures out Ziva's plan was to use the explosive to take out certain electric power stations sending the east coast of the United States into darkness, and to take out the pentagon. Based on the dates for when this was going to take place McGee sighs in relief since that part of the plan was not able to happen yet, although it was going to rather soon.
Glancing over on the table seeing a white, faded envelope Tim picks it up with removing a letter written in Arabic, and due to having spent years fighting against various Islamic extremist terrorist groups can read Arabic. Upon reading the letter Tim grows angrier and horrified with a searing feeling of betrayal since it is from Ari. Only worse confirms the one thing Tony and him, even Ellie, only suspected of being an option.
It confirms Ari purposely killed Kate so Ziva could use her friendship with Director Shephard in order to get a spot-on Gibbs team, more importantly inside the US to ultimately carry out the US's destruction. Along with the elimination of Gibbs team, even mentioning the name of Ari's half-brother who waged war on them from September 2014 to February 2015. In disgust, Tim throws the letter onto the table as a realization sinks in of Ziva was never his friend or any of their friends but simply a mole inside NCIS playing the long game.
Suddenly pulled out of his thoughts by a female and male voice yelling "Tim."
Turning Tim smiles upon seeing Tony, Bishop, Ryback, Harm, and Meg running down the hallway at full speed to reach him. Only running on adrenaline plus the fights he's been, especially the last one with Ziva and can only block the pain out for so long causes him to pass out. McGee falls to the floor just as the NCIS agents get inside the room with rushing over to him.
Hope you all enjoyed this and let me know what you think in a review if you want to.
Now I debated between McGee just putting a bullet in Ziva's head or have them fight, with choosing to go the fighting route. Especially since I referenced McGee's skills to just seemed like a waste to only see him go up against a bunch of thugs.
Onto the bigger reveal being Ziva has been a mole not for her father but really for Ari since day 1 for wanting to send the entire east cost into chaos.
That was not originally planned but a kind of I came up with Ziva having a mercenary group when I wrote the first chapter then needed a reason for it.
Next chapter should be the wrap up one, so until next time
