"Secrets are made to be found out with time."

~Charles Sanford~

Tony decided that what he saw last night was a result of too much alcohol, or too many slaps to the head.

There was no way, no way! Thatwhat he saw was real!

He did not just see Tim, his Probie turn into…..that!

He knew what it was; he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

Feral eyes looked up at them.

With a groan Tony turned off the movie that had been watching him for the past five minutes, no point in it anymore, he stared at the frozen picture before getting up, turning it off and going to bed.

He was going to sleep and when he returned to work, tonight was going be nothing but a strange dream.


Tim woke cuddled next to a body, the scent told him it was Orion, there was a leg poking his ribs, and a heavy head using his legs as a pillow, with a yawn he opened his eyes to meet the ceiling of his apartment.

"So we made it home" he thought as he wiggled his way out from the pile without waking any of siblings and friends.

Jethro who was curled up next to Sarah looked up, and wagged his tail at the sight of Tim moving around.

"Morning boy" he said softly as he made his way to the bathroom to get a shower, after way there he paused when an image flashed through his mind. He frowned and concentrated on it.

All Weres are feral, they acted on instincts which was why many Weres lived in secluded places, and few were found in the City, it was hard to push back something that part of you. So when they changed the more human part of their mind was pushed back and the animalistic part took over. When they changed back memories are usual lost about the night, but sometimes there were flashes.

"Uh-oh" Tim thought when he realized the images he saw were that of his Team looking down at him, eyes wide in disbelief and shock.

"Kuma's going to kill me" Tim groaned.

Jethro barked.


Gibbs was a man of many things, if you talked to some people they would mostly say he was a bastard, he was also one of many beliefs.

Were creatures was not one of them.

Especially when it turns out that his youngest Agent was one!

Gibbs wasn't sure if he should be having a heart attack, be angry or sad, angry because his Agent hidden something like this from him, sad because his Agent didn't trust him enough to tell him the truth, and a heart attack, because everything he was taught about Were legends were now real!

"M-Morning"

Gibbs head shot up and saw Tim standing nervously at the edge of the Pen, the young man? Should he even still consider Tim human?

Tim looked big eyed and about ready to bolt should Gibbs make any sudden moves…just like a scared and corner animal.

"Morning McGee" Gibbs finally said his voice neutral.

The Senior Agent watched the other for a moment, those green eyes widen further and Tim stood there for just a moment before he quickly hurried to his desk.

Silence fell between the two, neither looking at the other.

Ziva came in about ten minutes later; she paused when she saw Tim, who instinctively ducked his head. Luckily for him Ziva mere said good morning to Gibbs and sat at her desk.

"Maybe Leo was right" Tim thought, "maybe they all had too much alcohol and don't remember anything"

It was wishful thinking on his part Tim knew, but it was better than worrying whether if they really saw him change or not. Tony came in some moments later, he gave Tim a wary glance before he sat at his desk, no one said a word.

It wasn't long before the rest of NCIS noticed the tense between their top Team, and stirred clear away from Pen.


Orion watched his younger brother leave to take Jethro walking, Leo was with them, Kuma was with Mark out buying food.

It was going on nearly a week since the incident as he called it, and he was becoming worried. His brother was stressed and worried and it was all those humans fault!

The Were for the life of him couldn't understand why humans had to be so difficult!

From what his Runt had told him, the humans knew, but didn't know what to say or even what do about it, and his Runt by nature was going to wait for them to make the next move.

"What are you doing" Nick asked watching his friend take out his cell phone and dial some numbers.
"Putting a stop to this headache" Orion said just as the phone answered.

"Agent Gibbs, this is Orion McGee. We need to talk"


"You what!"

Orion didn't even blink at the glare or outburst.

"You need to deal with this Tim" he said.

"You invited them to my apartment! Without me even knowing or even asking!" Tim growled, pacing back and forth in his apartment.

"You wouldn't have done anything, and you know it, and it's better to deal with this now then never at all and living with the tension"

"That still doesn't give you the right to do as you please, Kuma, say something!"

Kuma who had been watching from his spot on the chair, looked between the two brothers, then at Leo, Nick, Mark and Sarah who had been picked up.

"Orion's right, this has gone on long enough, and while I don't approve of his methods, I see no problems"

"But—"

There was a not on the door, all seven heads turned to look at it, Jethro barked and walked over to the door.

"Took them long enough" Nick said, having picked up the scents minutes ago and had wondered why their guests were taking so long to knock.

"Well?" Orion said

Tim snarled at him, before going over to the door, with a calming breath he opened it.


When he had got the call from one Orion McGee and was invited to Tim's apartment, Gibbs knew that the running around and avoiding the problem was done, though he expected it to go on a little longer.

"And please make sure the others come as well, don't worry we'll fit you all in somehow"

That's what Orion said, and Gibbs knew well who the others were, and that's how the Team, plus Abby, Ducky, and Jimmy came to be here at Tim's door.

"Someone has to knock" Ziva said when they all stared at the door for a good few minutes.

Surprisingly it was Jimmy who did the knocking.

They nearly jumped when Jethro barked, before the door opened.

"Hey" Tim greeted before stepping aside to let them in.

One by one the filled the tiny apartment.

"How the hell did you fit your brothers in here McGee?" was the first question Tony asked, as he sat in one of the many chairs that were in there.

Sarah giggled, while the boys snickered, even Gibbs looked amused.

With the tense now less, Tim felt it was easier to explain and once everyone was settled, his siblings sitting on the floor, while his Team took the chairs, he then began.

"Some nights ago….what did you see?" Tim asked.

"Don't know McGee, you tell us?" Gibbs answered.

Tim looked at his elder brother who nodded.

With a sigh Tim stood and let his body relax and then he changed.


All eyes watched, as skin stretched, ripped, and changed, until before them was to them a month old Cub. The Cub had puffy shady brown fur and black spots, its tail was the same as its fur long, spotted and fluffy. Big green eyes stared up at everyone before going over to Kuma and climbing into his lap, letting out a loud purr.

Kuma lifted the Cub up by the scruff if his neck and cradled him in his arms.

"As you can see Tim's a Were, all our family is, as is the rest of the people in Rosemary" Kuma explained as he wrestled his fingers from the Cub's mouth, Tim gave soft playful growls and held on tightly. Kuma gave a playful growl back and nipped gently at Tim's ear.

The NCIS watched amazed.

"That night" Orion continued. "Tim was supposed to meet us back at the meeting point, but got held up"

"That was my fault" Abby said, her eyes never moving from Kuma and Tim, "I bullied Tim into staying longer"

"We figured" Leo said with a grin.

Tim jumped out of Kuma's arms and bounced over to Tony and pounced on his shoes, chewing at the shoelaces, playfully growling. Tony looked down unsure of what to do.

"You can pick him up, just grabbed him by the scruff of his neck" Kuma instructed, with a watchful eye.

Tony hesitated for a moment, before bending down and doing as Kuma told. Tim went limp as he was grabbed and lifted, purring when he saw Tony's face.

"Awww" Ziva and Abby coo'd when Tim started licking Tony's nose.

Kuma smirked, it worked every time.


"Are all of you like this?" Ziva asked.

The NCIS had since abandoned the chairs and were now on the floor, even Gibbs.

Tim was happily pouncing on Jethro who merely laid there, though he gave a warning growl when Tim bite his tail

"No just Sarah and Tim, they're still Cubs" Orion explained, "Were don't become adults until they're 500 hundred years old"

Six eyes stared at them in shock.

"5-500?" Jimmy stuttered.

"Yep" Leo said, "Tim's 494years old"

"Wow Boss Probie's as old as you!"

*Thwack*

"Thanks Boss"

Tim pounced on Jethro one more before bouncing over to the group, all watched as Tim climbed into Gibb's lap, curled up into a ball and went to sleep happily purring.

"I should have brought my camera!" Abby coo'd.


So there you go, Tim's still a baby in Were time, and just wait until they see the boys changed, even better what until they see Papa McGee lol!

Reveiw Please!
