Heading home

Tony sat at the airport his arm around Kate it was late very late they were on the last flight home. Neither of them wanted to leave. They wanted to know what was going to happen first. Would Kate be able to be herself again? Or would she have to leave? Tony had already made the decision that if she had to leave he was going with her he wasn't about to lose her now. He stroked his thumb across her cheek she looked up at him and smiled.

She opened her mouth to say something but Tony's cell rang, he'd turned it on again when the FBI agent said he would call.

"Hello" Kate got up kissing him on the head and headed to the toilet.

"Really, Ok no that's great she'll be thrilled ok thank you" he got up as Kate came back.

"Who was that?" she asked he grinned.

"What?" she looked at him strangely.

"Your free you no longer have to be Cameron or Kelly or anything other then Kate Todd" Kate's jaw dropped.

"Seriously?" Tony nodded she ran the rest of the way he caught her spinning her around.

"So I don't have to hide anymore?"

"Nope Good bye blue eyes" She grinned and kissed his deeply as he set her down. He stroked the top of her head.

"You can let your hair out and no more wigs, if you want our plane doesn't board for another half an hour" Kate nodded and headed back to the toilet.

Tony looked up twenty minutes later to see a sight he never thought he'd be able to see again. Kate walking towards him, her long brown hair pulled into a lose ponytail no wig they had both come accustom to, no glasses and no blue eyes. Not that he didn't like blue eyes he did just not on his Kate.

She grinned as she sat next to him, he grinned back pulling her into a passionate kiss.

"What was that for?" she asked resting her head on his.

"I've always wanted to kiss the real you" she blushed as their flight was called.

Taylor was on that flight as well she had to cover for some one; she walked right up to Tony glaring at him as he poked the women next to him, she didn't know this was the same person she'd met and seen him with for the last couple of weeks.

"You don't change do you?" she asked Tony looked up at her confused then looked over at Kate who laughed.

"Taylor it's me Kate, this is me naturally not hiding from your lunatic father in law"

"Oh sorry I, didn't know" she blushed Tony rolled his eyes till Kate elbowed him.

"She didn't know and she thought you were with someone else give the women a break Tony" he rolled his eyes and nodded.

Unbeknownst to them Director Shepard was also on this flight, she was sitting three seats ahead of them. She'd seen Kate coming back from the toilets, at first it didn't register with Jen who she was as she had never met Kate. She looked back as Kate tripped on something; the people behind her had left a bag in the isle which Kate had tripped over. She was about to get up when she saw Tony helping her up, when he kissed her forehead, she knew this must have been his girlfriend. It wasn't till they were both sitting down that she got a good look at Kate's face she knew it from somewhere, but where she wasn't quite. She tried to wrack her brain thinking of whom it could be but nothing came to mind.

A couple of hours into the flight she looked back again to see Tony looking at something, Kate's head resting on his shoulder as she slept. That's when it hit Jen who this was; the one agent all of NCIS thought was dead. So that's your secret DiNozzo she thought smiling. She turned around again as Tony looked up.

"Kate honey wake up we're about to land" Kate moaned opening her eyes and sitting up. Tony smiled and kissed her forehead gently.

"We'll be home soon and you can go to bed" Kate nodded rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. The plane landed with a bump waking every one up. As they walked out into the airport terminal

Jenny found them at the Taxi terminal; there was a long line up even though it was late. Tony and Kate were sitting down Kate had fallen asleep her head resting on his shoulder.

"DiNozzo" Tony turned around to see the Director of NCIS.

"Uh…um…Director Shepard….I-well- I can explain" She smiled at him.

"No need to now, but Monday I want a full explanation." Tony nodded and picked Kate up as their taxi arrived.
