So here's the 3rd chapter! Took me a whole to finish it because of work but Ifinally got it done! Enjoy!

Tobie's fist connected to Eliot's jaw causing him to take a step back. He wiped the back of his hand across his now split lip and glared at the ex marine. Tobie sent her other fist to connect with Eliot's stomach but he blocked her. She kicked her leg out catching Eliot's shin.

Eliot knew that Tobie was taking out her anger at him for what happened in the past and he knew saying 'I'm sorry' wouldn't cut it besides it wasn't his fault she got caught . He didn't fight back though the lord knows that he wished. To him, Tobie was just a girl with a hot head that knew how to shoot a gun with six years of military service under her belt. Plus she was Nate's niece...that wouldn't go over to well.

Tobie was getting irritated, Eliot kept on blocking her hits. She grunted in frustration knowing that the seven years that she has been out of the service has slowed her down. Eliot was fast and dodged another one of her throws. She was starting to get sloppier and angrier because of it. All of her control slipped away from her the moment she laid her eyes on Eliot.

Eliot saw an opening and went for it. He grabbed Tobie's wrist and spun her around and grabbed her other wrist pinning her in front of him.

"Let go of me!" she growled at Eliot Tobie struggled in his grasp but it only caused Eliot's grip to tighten.

"That's enough!" Nate yelled in his mind he doubted himself that he should bring Tobie into their team now that he knows that she has past with Eliot and not a good one.

"Tell your dog to let go of me." Tobie snarled at Nate.

"She has a sharp tongue, I like her." Hardison said to Parker. Eliot heard him and shot him a glare.

"Put your claws away." Eliot commented.

"Eliot let her go and Tobie control yourself." Nate said. He watched as Eliot let go of his niece and she pushed away from the hitter.

"One wrong move and I'll shoot you in the ass." she said to Eliot

"Can you even still hold a gun?" Eliot baited her and took in some satisfaction at seeing her pissed off. She ignored him, there will be more time to take out her frustration on Eliot later.

Tobie didn't look at any of them as she walked back into her house. She paused by her uncle and looked him in the eye.

"If you really want me to be a part of this team. Then you better try your damnedest to convince me."

The team followed Tobie in to her house. Eliot being the last to enter wanting to keep as much distance from Tobie in case she goes into attack mode again. While Nate used his skill to convince Tobie to join the team he remembered the day he met her.

2004 Iraq

Eliot grunted as he pushed away another guard from another doorway. He wiped the sweat from his brow and continued on checking his surroundings for more armed men and searching for his target.

A man contacted him a few weeks ago offering a job with a great pay out and all Eliot had to do was infiltrate and grab it. Except 'it' was a he that had decided to take classified documents about nuclear warheads to the Taliban in the middle of Iraq. It was Eliot's job to secure the man, the documents and any copies made and bring him back to the states where Eliot then could get his pay out and take a trip to somewhere cooler. Like Alaska.

Eliot rounded a corner and came face to face with a gun. He looked beyond the weapon to the person behind it. From what he can tell they were marines, Black Ops. He looked at each of them only seeing four, he was ok he could take on four marines.

"Civilian!" he heard the one pointing a gun at his face. He chuckled mentally. He found this situation weirdly funny.

"At ease private," Came a female voice from behind the man. The marines parted revealing he smaller fifth member of their team, their leader.

"You American?" she asked. Eliot saw her hazel eyes squint at him.

"Yes ma'am." he dragged the reply out in his southern accent. He could tell that the way he replied pissed her off.

"State your name and answer me why you are here."

'Oooh, she was a bossy one.' Eliot thought.

"Eliot Spencer and none of your damned business." he mentally face palmed himself for giving her his real name.

The woman smirked and walked closer to him about half a foot away from him. Eliot's eyes flashed down to her name on her shirt and he read 'Chase'. He made a note to look her up back on state side.

"I hate to tell you this but...it is my business. It's my job to weed out any and all traitors to their country. Now seeing an American here with no ties to any of the military is very questionable." she narrowed her eyes at him. "your practically carrying a red flag Mr. Spencer,"

Eliot glared at her in return her terrorist comment pissed him off. He took odd jobs from different people around the world but he was no terrorist. He really didn't like this woman.

Present

The inside of Tobie's house was surprisingly clean compared to the outside. Eliot walked to the blue couch on the far side of the living room next to Parker.

"How do you know her?" she asked.

"Ran into her in Iraq eight years ago." was Eliot's short reply.

"Man I'd hate to know what you did to make her hate you," Hardison shook his head at his friend. "But it must have been bad."

"No, we had a tea party and ate cookies together." Eliot was very sarcastic that day. The three friends sat back and tried not to over hear the badly hushed conversation in the kitchen.

"If you think I'm going to play nice with him Uncle you are seriously mistaken." Tobie paced back and forth in front of Nate and Sophie.

"Tobie we understand that you and Eliot had a past. But that had to be years ago right? Why can't you let the past be the past?" Sophie said calmly. She was going to use her skills to help persuade Tobie to join their team.

"Let the past be the past? You're kidding right?" Tobie couldn't help but laugh at what Sophie suggested. She couldn't just let that go so much has changed about her since then and Eliot was to blame.

"We're not asking you to go up to him and give him a kiss and a hug and say 'all is forgiven'. We're asking you to work with us." Nate watched his niece, so much has changed about her. She was no longer the fun loving, life of the party anymore. In her place was a cold hard shell with lifeless eyes.

"Are you sure you want me to work with you? Every time I'll look at him I'll want to shove him off the top of the tallest building." Tobie smirked at the thought enjoying the scene that was playing out in her mind her smirk turned into a grin when her daydream made Eliot hit the cement with an audible splat.

"Tobie!" she shook herself out of her daydream when Nate and Sophie yelled her name. Tobie looked at their stern faces with a confused look.

"What?"

"We where saying that if you joined us, you would be a part of something grander and bigger than us. You would be able to help people who have been wronged. I know somewhere inside of you is that girl that dreamed to change the world." her uncle said.

"Plus you'll be able to fix your farm up to what it used to be." Added Sophie.

Tobie paused soaking in all they have been saying for the last hour. Her uncle is right, the girl that used to want to change the world was still deep within her. That want is what landed her in the Marines. Plus fixing up her family farm has always been a huge goal for her. The old crumbling barns were a huge scar on her land with falling wood and broken glass windows. She would love to see them fixed up and maybe with a few cows running around.

"Alright you've convinced me." she said. Nate and Sophie smiled while in the living room Eliot had his head in his hands

"Fucking wonderful." he thought.

Tobie, Nate and Sophie all walked in the living room. Tobie sat down on the couch directly across from Eliot, she looked at the thief, the hacker and the hitter and leaned back in her chair.

"So when do we start?"
