NCIS meets SHIELD c16
Ellie woke with a groan, memories of last night seemed very fuzzy. The brightness of the room made her wince…wait her room? How did she get here? Sitting up she looked around yep it was definitely her room but she had a drip in her arm fluids she figured but who gave it to her, she could hear voices outside her door.
"We did not put you in deep cover so you could blow it." A voice stated angrily.
"He drugged her you couldn't possibly expect me to sit by and let him hurt her."
"No of course not, what about the warehouse?"
"We were on that before they turned up, I got Izzy out and so what saved them, they were not prepared."
"I know you want to protect her, but you can't keep breaking protocol to do it."
"Protocol? Coming from you."
"Fine she is home safely you need to go, I will keep an eye on her. Or you will have to deal with Maria and actually get transferred to Coulson."
"Fine just lecture her about safe drinking." Ellie had heard enough, standing up heading for the door only to grab the wall as a wave of nausea hit her, the door opened and Natasha entered carrying a glass of water and some painkillers.
"You are up. Here." She said handing her the glass of water. Checking the iv before examining Ellie over. "How do you feel?"
"My head is pounding, and everything seems bright. Natasha what are you doing here?"
"Keeping you out of trouble."
"So it was you in the warehouse?" Ellie asked to which she received a blank stare
"If you know what it good for you, you won't go around expressing those thoughts." Natasha replied and in that tone Ellie could read something lying beneath it, if her head wasn't pounding she would be able to think about it more easily.
"Were you talking with someone?" Ellie finally asked now that Natasha seemed happy with her health check she took out the iv. She once again received that hard look so she looked down deciding to change the topic. "I saw you in France." To which she received a raised eyebrow at. "Sorry it's just been a while since I saw you."
"You need to be more careful Sam wouldn't want you doing reckless things, what were you doing at the club?"
"Blowing off steam, we had finished a case and I was missing Sam." Ellie stated and watched as Natasha's gaze softened lightly.
"I miss her too." Natasha replied and they then moved out to the kitchen where Natasha made Ellie something to eat. As she was sitting down and eating there was banging on the door, she was surprised that Natasha went to go and open it. Nick was standing at the door and actually yelped when he saw who it was that answered it. He followed her inside to see Ellie sitting at the table and eating breakfast.
"Damn it Bishop don't you check you phone, you have had us worried." Nick stated when he saw her.
"We have the day off." Ellie stated confused
"And if you checked your phone you would see we were called in." Nick rebutted grabbing a piece of her bacon.
"I'm busy. Yesterday was a long day."
"She has slept most of the day." Natasha informed him and it was true it was after two.
"Nick I will meet you at work."
"I can bring you." he stated
"Goodbye Nick."
"Fine, but you better come or it will be Gibbs coming to see you." he said leaving as Bishop finished eating.
"You could call in sick." Natasha suggested
"That would only make them more concerned. No I will be fine. Are you staying around DC?"
"For a couple of days." Natasha replied as Ellie then went in for a quick shower when she got out she was expecting Natasha to be gone but she was there finishing putting the dishes away.
"I need you to do something for me."
"Oh?" Natasha stated looking up at Ellie
"Tell my sister that I am not mad, that I understand and that I can keep her secret just tell her to stay safe because if she dies I will give her hell." Ellie stated she had accepted why Sam would fake her death, to protect her and her family. She just wanted her to know that she knew and was not mad. "Tell her that I miss her and if she ever wanted to talk, I am here. Also thank her for last night and the save before that." Ellie said grabbing her bag and weapon before walking out the door knowing that Natasha would lock up, as she walked to her truck she felt like a burden had been lifted off her shoulders and that she could finally breathe again. She drove away from her apartment and headed to the Navy Yard it seemed like she had a job to do. Entering the ballpein she looked around at her co-worker faces, her friends that would protect her from McGee, Torez and landing on Gibbs she gave him a small smile before she was dragged into another case.
