National Criminal Investigation of the Supernatural
Summary: National Criminal Investigation of the Supernatural. N.C.I.S's agents were mainly Supernatural themselves (though more often then not were part human), but the minority of them consisted of normal human beings. All in all they worked well together mostly without issues. This story is pretty much like the show only it's AU because everyone is either Human or a Supernatural/Mythological creature.
Character(s): Jenny, Gibbs, Tony, McGee, Kate, Gerald, Jimmy, Abby, Ducky, Ziva, Vance, Fornell, Dinozzo Senior, Ari, and Necessary OC's, more to be added later on~!
Warning(s): Supernatural beings! Character deaths, blood, gore, mythology, broken trust, team as family, secrets, panic attacks, etc.
I do not own N.C.I.S and I honestly have no idea what possessed me to write this. Please, enjoy.
Jimmy Palmer has been and always will be an observer.
He's not the only one.
Having joined N.C.I.S some time ago Jimmy long since befriended Special Secret Agent Anthony Dinozzo, which came as a surprise to him. He wasn't exactly the out going type, but Tony definitely was. Which was why when they ended up having a lot in common and becoming pretty close friends it seemed surreal to Jimmy.
And now his friend needed his help.
This case was one about a Petty Officer Samuel Jensen found mauled off the side of the road, near the mans vehicle.
Local PD dubbed his death due to an animal attack, they weren't to far off in Jimmy's opinion but due to his time at N.C.I.S Jimmy learned to tell when something was natural and when it was...Supernatural. His and Dr. Mallard's autopsy of Samuel Jensen proved that the bite marks and the claws used to tear into the mans skin were not from any ordinary forest animal. The saliva they managed to pull from the body along with pieces of animal hair, which they sent up to Abby to test, proved to be from an adult wolf; a Canis lupus baileyi to be exact, or more commonly known as the Mexican wolf.
Not even four hours later they were called back to the general area when Petty Officer Stuart Martin, Samuel Jensen's old time friend, body was found mauled in a way similar to Jensen's.
It was with his autopsy that they found more saliva indicating three wolves at least being involved in the murders. Jimmy had gone back to the scene with Dr. Mallard and Tony to watch over them while they search for "A missing piece to the puzzle," as Dr. Mallard put it.
It started when Tony suddenly yelled for the both of them to get back to the car. Then everything seemed to happen as if on fast-forward.
Tony pushing him towards the car.
A wolf lunging out of the woods straight towards Tony, tackling him to the ground.
Himself trying to get Dr. Mallard into the car all the while keeping an eye out for Tony.
Then the shifting. It's that's what it's even called, Jimmy didn't know. Jimmy froze halfway into the car and watched in awe as Tony's entire body seemed to morph itself into that of a wolf. One bigger than any other Jimmy's ever seen, mainly ones in pictures. Seeing Tony as a wolf...the only word Jimmy could think to describe his friend was as beautiful.
Tony's fur was a light brown turning white towards his feet, but dark brown with hints of black went in a straight line down his back. The tips of Tony's tail was dark brown as well. Around his eyes, and the tips of his ears were almost black, one thing that stood out even from as far away as Jimmy was were Tony's vibrant green eyes.
Jimmy had to force himself to look away and towards Dr. Mallard to see if he was okay, and his reaction to Tony being a Wolf! Only Dr. Mallard wasn't looking out the window, he was looking down the road in the opposite direction while talking on the phone with somebody. After a second or two Dr. Mallard hung up.
"Not to worry, Jethro is on his way." Dr. Mallard seemed to be trying to catch his breath now.
Jimmy nodded not really caring if Dr. Mallard actually saw or not, he looked back out towards where Tony was and froze when he saw the other wolf had Tony pinned to the ground.
"No!" Jimmy was glad he hadn't gotten all the way into the car, he ran as fast as he could and without really realizing how stupid he was being, he flung himself at the other wolf forcing it off of Tony.
"Palmer! What on earth are you doing?!"
Jimmy heard Dr. Mallard and noticed how frantic he sounded but Jimmy couldn't really find it in himself to care.
He's done plenty of autopsy's with N.C.I.S there was no way in hell he was going to sit back and let Tony become just another body in the morgue.
Jimmy screamed in pain, not to mention he really was terrified, when the wolf he tackled bit into his forearm and tore into the skin. At the same Tony snarled and leap onto the other wolf's back causing it to let go of Jimmy's arm and stumble around due to the added weight.
"Palmer get the hell outta there!"
Jimmy looked up and saw Gibbs standing not to far away from him with his gun out. Kate and McGee were each on either side of Gibbs with there guns out as well.
"Jimmy come here!" Kate yelled looking as nervous as Jimmy's ever seen her before.
Jimmy tried to stand up but the blood loss from the wolf bite and the pain caused him to feel a bit dizzy. The others must've noticed because next thing Jimmy knew McGee was running towards him and helping him get as far from the wolves as possible.
"Timothy bring him over here!" Jimmy tried to help McGee carry him towards the car Dr. Mallard was still in but he kept stumbling. It was for no reason whatsoever that he looked over at Gibbs and saw he was about to pull the trigger. It was also by chance he happened to realize the gun was pointing at Tony. And Kate's pointing at the other wolf.
Jimmy stood stock-still refusing to let McGee move him another inch.
Why was Gibbs pointing his gun at Tony?
Then Jimmy gasped as he realized why, none of the others saw Tony turn into the wolf. They didn't know it was him.
His friend needed his help.
Mentally thanking who knows who that Gibbs wasn't to far away from him, Jimmy pushed away from McGee and practically sprinted towards Gibbs and pushed his arm up in the air just as he had pulled the trigger at the same time as Kate did, causing the bullet, silver no doubt, to lodge itself a good foot or two above Tony's head into a tree. At that very moment a yelp echoed around them all then utter silence as all previous sounds of the two wolves fighting each other stopped.
"Palmer! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Gibbs snapped ripping his arm out of Jimmy's grip.
Usually Gibbs angry was something that honest to god terrified him, but there was no way Jimmy was going to stand down now.
"What I was doing was stopping you from shooting Tony!" Jimmy yelled back just as angry.
"Tony?" Kate said confused, "What do you mean shooting Tony? Gibbs was aiming for the other wolf!"
Jimmy glared at her, "That other wold IS Tony!"
Gibbs stepped back and Jimmy was oddly glad to see how horrified the man seemed.
"W-What?" McGee stuttered coming over to stand near them with Dr. Mallard following him.
"Tony's part wolf, when the other wolf tried attacking us he shifted into a wolf and fought back!"
Dr. Mallard gasped, " That's why you ran back out! You were stopping that other wolf from killing Anthony!"
Gibbs jerked his head from one side to the next, "Where's Tony then."
Jimmy spun in a circle looking all around him just to see that Tony wasn't there. He had taken the chance when they weren't paying attention to run off.
"Wha-?" Kate gulped, "Why would Tony run off?"
Jimmy's first thought was that if someone he trusted tried to shoot him he would've ran too, but then he remembered, "There were more."
"What?" McGee looked at him oddly but Jimmy ignored it.
"Dr. Mallard remember! We said there was more than one wolf! Wolves can sense other Wolves!" Jimmy moved to run into the trees, "Tony knows where the others are!"
"Wait a minute!" Gibbs barked, "Where do you think you're going Palmer?"
Jimmy stared at him impatiently, "To get Tony!"
"You're hurt!" Gibbs eyes narrowed, "McGee, Kate you're with me. Duck get Palmer to a Hospital."
Jimmy waved Dr. Mallard back before he could get any closer, "I'm apparently the only one who knows what Tony looks like as a wolf so you'll need me, and I'm fine!"
"You are not fine! I saw that wolf bite you!" Dr. Mallard gestured to Jimmy's arm.
"Part Gremlin Dr. Mallard remember?" Jimmy grinned, "One of the perks; Physical Restoration. Usually only working on objects but since the skin around the bite is technically ripped and can be considered as dead, I can restore it back to normal." Jimmy pushed back his sleeve to show off his perfectly intact if slightly red skin to the others.
Scowling Gibbs said, "Fine. We done have a lot of time. Duck get a clean up crew here. Palmer, McGee, Kate let's go!"
Jimmy knew Gibbs letting him come meant he had to follow behind the others but Jimmy wasn't in the mood to wait on them. He took off running where he was pretty sure Tony ran according to the paw prints in the dirt.
"Damnit Palmer!"
Jimmy kept on running and for a moment was scared he actually missed Tony or something when he still hadn't found his friend, the sound of howling nearby assured him he hadn't. Only once the howling sounded like it was coming from right in front of him did Jimmy stop and let the others go in front of him. He purposely ignored the glare Gibbs seemed to be giving him.
The sight that greeted them when they finally found Tony and the other wolves...it wasn't pretty. Jimmy spotted Tony right away, and was horrified by the scene in front of him. Tony hand one of the other wolves neck in his jaw which was clamped down tightly. It was obvious the wolf was dead.
"Tell me that's not Tony." Kate voice cracked and Jimmy saw she saw staring at the same place he'd been.
"Tony's the wolf holding the dead one in his mouth." Jimmy quickly explained, Kate nodded but still looked a bit queasy.
Gibbs frowned, "Thought you and Ducky worked out two to three wolves."
"We did?" Jimmy looked over at Gibbs as did McGee and Kate.
"Not counting Dinozzo, or the dead one there's three wolves out there. That's five enemies total."
Jimmy's eyes widened, "It's a pact!"
"What?" Kate blinked.
"A pact!" Jimmy whispered, "It's a extended family of sorts for wolves, they travel together and look out for their own. They're fiercely protective."
"So...since Tony killed one," McGee's eyes widened in fear, "He's their number one target!"
"Like hell he is." Gibbs growled, "Palmer you sure that's Dinozzo?"
"Yes!" Jimmy nodded vehemently.
"Good." Gibbs lifted his arm and fired twice at the dirty looking wolf, hitting it in the head and side, just before it could get the chance to pounce on top of Tony. The remaining two wolves turned and stared directly where they were standing and Jimmy couldn't help but feel intimidated. Kate fired once at the more reddish looking wolf which easily dodged the bullet and took off running right towards them.
Tony didn't give the wolf a chance. Jimmy watched as Tony barreled right into the wolf's side throwing it off course. The wolf yelped and swung it's head around where it headbutted Tony in the head at full force.
"Damnit Dinozzo." Gibbs muttered, "Focus on the other Wolf, we can't help Dinozzo without risking shooting him!"
Jimmy didn't look over as Gibbs, Kate and McGee all focused on the other wolf. He couldn't. One of them had to keep an eye on Tony to make sure he was okay.
Jimmy gasped when the wolf snapped it's mouth shut, sinking it's teeth into Tony's fur. Tony immediately bucked up trying to throw the wolf off of him, the wolf seemed to be holding on with all it had though. Jimmy tore his gaze away and looked around him frantically.
If only he could find...
"Hah!" Jimmy swiped a large stick off the ground, it was certainly thick enough to be considered a branch on it's own. Once again not thinking about his own safety Jimmy ran off towards Tony and swung the stick down as hard as he could on the other wolf's head. The stick broke, but the only thing that mattered to Jimmy was that the wolf loosened it's jaw enough for Tony to pull himself free.
While the wolf was still disoriented Jimmy watched as Tony leap up and pinned the wolf on it's back. He could see Tony's large fangs as his lips pulled back in a snarl. Jimmy felt his breath catch in his throat when Tony opened his mouth wide and looked about ready to snap it shut on the other wolf's neck. Thankfully though, Tony held himself there simply as a reminder to the wolf what could happen and what Tony was capable of.
"Dinozzo!" Jimmy looked up and saw Gibbs standing not even a foot away, he seemed at unease about something. Seeing the same looks on Kate and McGee's faces along with fear told Jimmy they were feeling that way about Tony. They were scared of Tony.
Jimmy looked back over at Tony and caught his eye, he knew right then and there Tony realized how the others felt about him just then. It hurt Jimmy to see the amount of anguish that caused in his friends' usually bright, full of mischief and happiness, green eyes.
Slowly Tony leaned away from the wolf and backed off of it, growling a warning to keep it from moving as Gibbs moved forward pulling a more slimmer different gun out of his back pocket. Gibbs leveled the gun with the wolf and fired, shooting out a dart. Within seconds the wolf was unconscious.
It seemed almost as though time was...frozen as the all stood there staring at the wolf. Jimmy however knew it was only the calm before the storm, it just worried him he had no idea what the storm could be.
Eventually they all headed back to the cars where Dr. Mallard was waiting for them with the clean-up crew already cleaning the area. Dr. Mallard had the crew find the wolves and bag their bodies so he could have them brought down to autopsy. Jimmy was usually excited when he got to help Dr. Mallard perform autopsies but the idea of doing these wolves when one of them could've easily been Tony due to a misunderstanding? Jimmy didn't want to help with these autopsies. Kate and McGee left together with Dr. Mallard in the back seat and Jimmy was to ride back with Tony and Gibbs.
As Gibbs slid into the front seat behind the wheel Jimmy took one look at Tony who had yet to turn back into a human and pulled the backseat down to make the trunk twice as large. Jimmy was aware of Gibbs watching him but he didn't care, he could tell Tony was to tired and not to mention injured to deal with the team right now so that most likely meant he wasn't planning on turning back to normal just yet. The amount of blood on Tony's fur was concerning so Jimmy took one of the N.C.I.S jumpsuits from the side compartment and bunched it together to press on the bite wound on Tony's side since that seemed to be where most of the blood was coming from.
"He alright?" Jimmy glanced up and saw Gibbs had twisted around in his seat and was staring at Tony who had long since climbed into the car and was curing up on his uninjured side.
"No." Jimmy said bluntly turning his attention back to the wound.
"He needs the Hospital?"
Jimmy caught Tony's eye and already knew the answer, "...No. Just take us to my apartment. I can help him there."
"Your apartment?" Gibbs sounded confused, "Why not my house? Or back to N.C.I.S? Ducky can get a good look at him there."
"Because," Even as he spoke Jimmy knew what he was saying was what Tony was thinking, "He doesn't want to go to either of those places or see the team. I'm perfectly capable of looking after him, if you don't want to drive us then I can find a ride."
Jimmy risked sneaking a look at Gibbs, he looked pissed which Jimmy expected and a tad bit hurt. Any other time Jimmy would've been a stuttering mess by now trying to apologize, but he just didn't feel like it. Instead he turned to fully face Gibbs and asked impatiently, "Are we going?"
"...Yeah. I'll drive you to your apartment."
Jimmy shifted Tony's head into his lap and ran one hand thru his surprisingly soft fur while the other pressed the cloth hard against the bite wound to stem the blood flow. He mentally screamed as Gibbs took off flying down the street and he didn't even have a seat belt on.
DS2010: He's is! A Eastern Timber Wolf is the breed name.
victoriantealady: Ooh it's okay! His other part comes in real handy and is sorta why he's as good as he is with going Under-Cover. I plan on revealing it near the middle of this story it's part of the climax.
ShadowWolf's: He is part Wolf, an Eastern Timber Wolf to be exact. Actually it's said wolves or any type of canine in general can sense ones emotions which is why I wrote that in, sorry for confusing you. He is not a pup, god i wish he were though, but he loves being cuddled due to being abandoned ad left alone so often as a kid and even as a adult. Which I will be going in more detail on in later chapters. Hope you liked the update!
I made this one longer to make up for last chapter.
What do you guys think is going to happen now that the others know Tony is part Wolf. How do you think them seeing him as they did will affect the team dynamic? Any thoughts on Jimmy? I've been wanting to write him for a while now!
