NCIS meets SHIELD c11
Getting back to DC was hard when she finally left her family behind and walking into work was one of the hardest things she had to do, stopping in the spot that her sister was hurt in sent her heart racing she didn't hear the person behind her talking to her so when he placed a hand on her shoulder she jumped only to relax when she saw it was Gibbs.
"You alright?" he asked knowing she might hate that question but his concern for her was genuine.
"Yeah…I mean I didn't think…this is where is happened. And I was standing right over there and couldn't do anything to stop it." Ellie replied before walking to the elevator where they rode in silence up to the ballpein.
"You good to come back to work?" he asked
"I ran out of things to do there and everyone was getting edgy. Everything reminds me of her and it all feels surreal. I need to work." Ellie finished finally answering his question to which he gave her a nod, when the others saw her she was once again asked that question this time she was also hugged.
…
2 months had passed and things had settled back down to a normal routine, Ellie was there for Sam's killer's trial and she was persecuted for espionage and two degrees of murder. Work was back to normal solving cases, she was at her desk writing a report when Nick came running in and changing the channel on the tv.
"Ellie you have to see this." He stated switching it to the news where footage of an attack was taking place and the avengers were there fighting away.
"Where is this?" Ellie asked getting taking her phone to do research, to get information.
"France." Nick replied as footage of Captain America fighting off the weird looking creatures before going to save some civilians. He picked up a child and carried him to safety.
"Another alien invasion."
"This isn't a full out invasion though according to the news it's a small group of Aliens that started killing people." Nick replied
"Hey have you guys seen the news…oh you are seeing it now."
"What do you think McGee?"
"I hope it's not another alien invasion."
"They say it's not."
"Yes but news can be misleading…there is things such as cover-ups." Tim replied placing his bag next to his desk.
"She seems good." Ellie stated finding any footage of the Black Widow.
"Have you heard from her at all?"
"Not her, but that Phil guy. I think he was checking up on me for her."
"She was at her sentencing…I thought she was going to kill her for sure."
"Clint, Maria and Steve were with her. But it also seemed they wanted her dead too." Ellie replied but McGee and Torez knew this was getting to dangerous waters.
"So that theft report, you finished it?" Tim asked changing tactic."
"Yes, all finished and sent off."
"Good, have I shown you the new baby pictures?"
"I haven't seen any recent ones." Ellie replied so that was how they ended up talking about babies until Gibbs turned up with a case.
Another month passed and Ellie was in the streets of DC walking to one of her favourite café places when she froze, standing across the road from her was Sam, with shorter darker hair but it was her she went to call out to her but a truck passed by forcing her to step back once it was out of her way she looked over the street but Sam was gone. Was it really Sam? Ellie asked herself scanning the people walking either way but could not see her she ran back to her car and drove to the Navy Yard running into Abbey's lab happy to see Tim there already she asked her friends for help. They were so focused on the screens in front of them they didn't see Nick enter the room, he stood there for five minutes trying to decipher what they were doing finally he gave up.
"Guys what are you doing?"
"Nick when did you get here?" Abbey asked
"Five minutes ago, what are you trying to find? Oh I know this street, there is a great café there."
"We are searching the cameras in the area." Ellie stated carefully.
"I can see that but why?"
"I thought I saw someone…"
"Who?"
"Sam."
"But she died…you saw her body." Nick replied gently
"I know, but I swear Nick I saw her…or I think I saw her." Ellie stated looking down, they had been searching all the cameras and so far nothing. Did she really see her or was it because she wanted to see her so she just imagined it. "It looked exactly like her…I'm sorry guys I didn't mean to waste your time."
"Hey none of that Ellie, we are here for you. If you say you saw her I believe you."
"Thanks Abbey but now I think it was just a case of mistaken identity." Ellie said leaving the lab completely missing the glances the others were sharing with each other.
"I thought she was doing well?" Nick asked making sure Ellie was actually gone.
"She has been, maybe it was someone that looked like her and it got her hopes up."
"But Sam is dead, I mean we all saw the body."
"Did we? Sure we saw it at the hospital but then those SHIELD agents took her. They could have given her a drug to make her look like she was dead and then whisked her away." Tim stated.
"Ellie stayed with them, I think she would have seen that." Nick retorted
"Oh right. Never mind." Time mumbled
"Still I think we should keep a close eye on her today." Nick stated, but he was looking back at Abbey who had returned her attention back to the computer. "Abbey do you agree?" he asked
"What? Oh yes, keep an eye on Ellie of course. You better head back up to the ballpein Gibbs will be wondering where you are." Abbey replied and after Nick and Tim looked at her confused they agreed to leave.
"Do you know what she was doing?" Nick as Tim as they left her lab heading for the elevator.
