Reminder:
This is a slight crossover fic
After a few minutes Tony realized Ziva was missing. "Where's Ziva?" He asked.
Ari opened his mouth to say something but Tali spoke
"She's gone."
"What do you mean she's gone? Gone where?" Tony said frantically.
"Gone back" Tali said smiling.
"What? I need to go back then." Tony yelled.
"Ok, all you have to do is close your eyes and think about how much you want to go back." Tali explained to him.
"Ok, one last thing, Kate I saw your tattoo" and with that Tony closed his eyes and was gone. Kate had a look of horror etched on her face and Roy laughed.
Ari turned to Tali and yelled. "Tali! You know as damn well as I do that Ziva did not go back!"
Tony's operating room
The Doctor put down the surgical tools and said "He's going to make a full recovery"
And with that they wheeled him into recovery.
Dr. Bailey had told them that Tony was going to be fine. She had allowed the NCIS team to sit in the room with him for when he wakes up. They were all stationed around his bed. Waiting.
"Zi-v-a" Tony mumbled as he woke up and slowly opened his eyes
"Kate and Ari…" Tony continued to mumble "…Wrong"
Everyone looked at each other, unsure what Tony was talking about.
"Tony, do you remember what happened?" Abby asked.
"Umm, yeah…Drew? But where's Ziva? I need to talk to her"
"She's still in surgery" McGee told him.
"She's going to be okay right?"
Nobody spoke.
"No. She has to be okay, they told me she was back. This can't be happening."
"Who's 'they' DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked
"They said she was back!" Tony yelled, he tried to get up but began too cough.
"Anthony, calm down" Ducky said.
"Please, tell me she's going to survive."
None of them answered. Tony laid back down and stared into space.
Ziva sat in an operating room, it was the same operating room which she was in back in reality. She sat on the table with her head on her knees, thinking.
Do I really want to go back?
Is there really a point in going back?
Would anyone care?
And that's when she made her decision.
