Notes: MAJOR AU, you have been warned. And even though it says NCIS and Dark Angel on the tin, Supernatural is a part of this too, but that universe only shows up through Winchesters and the supernatural.
Timeline: No fixed timeline. Post-Dark Angel and Post-AU of Jus in Bellos of Supernatural, nothing for NCIS except after Tim got accepted into Gibbs' team and before SWAK.
That is all.

Six Years Later...
"Where the hell is DiNozzo?" Gibbs' voice was the only loud thing breaking the relative silence of the NCIS bullpen.
The newest Agent, Tim McGee, jumped at least a foot in the air since he was still not use to the way Gibbs could just pop up and announce himself with the question on everyone's minds. Agent Kate Todd just looked up from her computer monitor with a frown.
"Haven't heard from him, Gibbs. I tried calling his cell, but it went to voice mail."
Jethro Gibbs sat at his desk, taking a sip of his usual coffee. "Did you try down in Abby's lab?"
The ex-Secret Service's frown got a little deeper. "No I haven't. Why would he be down there?"
"'Cause I was helping her with something, Katie." Tony popped out from behind the divider between her area and the "hallway".
Kate jumped a little, oh how she hated that he was teaching himself how to sneak around like Gibbs. "Don't call me that, DiNozzo!"
The Italian raised his hands in mock surrender, "Whatever you say, Katie."
Gibbs hid a smile behind his coffee as he took a drink. It was always interesting to watch Tony and Kate banter back and forth. The only downside was that no one knew that Tony was usually here well before the other two Agents, either with Ducky, listening to the older man's stories, or with Abby, helping her with a few forensics, so the banter was sometimes actually a little mean.
"Sorry I'm late, Boss," Tony rubbed the back of his neck. He stood right in front of Gibbs' desk, talking in a low voice. "Abby's system was down and it took two people to pull it back up again."
"Just don't let it happen again." The silver haired man put on his best "I'm-boss-so-don't-you-dare-defy-me" voice. The one that would make any normal person do exactly what he said. Then again, DiNozzo was not a normal person.
He grinned, "Yes, Sir!"
"In Breaking News! The transgenics from six years ago, thought to have disappeared, are now back—"
Every head in NCIS shot up to the plasma screen. Everyone knew about the transgenic that lived in Seattle, Washington and how they disappeared without a trace. Almost everyone thought there was no need for all the hate that was directed at the poor people but their opinion didn't really matter in the long run.
Gibbs growled deep in his throat, he absolutely loathed the activists that protested against the continuing existence of the transgenics. He didn't see a problem with the humans forced to become super-killers, they probably didn't want to in the first place; they did try to prove their innocence.
Tony's head was the first to snap up, his tanned face turning an ashen gray. Gibbs shot him a concern, questioning look before turning back to the news.
"—The first ones spotted where a group of transhumans in Tokyo, Japan. No further information is known. But, as a warning, all citizens be on the look out for any transgenics or transhumans. Do not attempt to approach for these beings may be unstable and dangerous.
The memory of six years ago, when a post office was taken hostage by these blood thirsty creatures, also known as transhumans, shook the nation when one human was killed and the creat—"
The report was shut off, Kate looked at the not quiet hidden fury on Tony's face while he threw the remote at McGee. In all honesty, the fury scared her a little. Never before had she seen him even a little angry, a the flash of tight, controlled anger, yes. But full out? Not even close.
"Tony, you okay?" She just had to ask.
"I'm fine," he replied through clenched teeth.
I'msonotfine. I'msonotfine. I'msonotfine.
Gibbs could see the anger and the internal mantra but about what? He wasn't so sure about that.
Tony's phone rang, breaking the tense silence that had quickly fallen over the team. He picked it up, just barely holding back from snapping, "DiNozzo."
"Agent DiNozzo, there's a young woman here to see you. Says it's important." The front desk receptionist sounded a little annoyed.
The young Italian's hard frown grew confused, any girl he ever dated knew not to show up directly at NCIS. "Did she give you her name?"
"Suzanne Storme."
His hazel eyes widened, "Send her up, Jessica, please."
Jessica felt her heartstrings get pulled at the fear she heard in DiNozzo's voice. Every time she saw him he would flirt with her and that was the only way she saw him, well, except when he was tired.
Gibbs watched as his Senior Agent placed the phone on its cradle. "Problem, DiNozzo?"
He jerked his head up from where he was staring blankly at nothing in particular. "Uh, no, Boss. Just a friend pulling a surprise visit. I swear she'll be gone if we get a case."
He jerked his chin in agreement, perhaps this friend will do Tony some good.
Kate raised an eyebrow, "'She'll'? A girl, Tony? I thought you never brought girlfriends to work."
"I don't, Kate." Tony answered distractedly. Eyes trained on the elevators with such intensity none of them had ever see before.
The lights flashed as the bell dinged and a pretty dark blond haired woman, with black roots showing attractively, rushed out. Her dark, almost black, eyes searched the room wildly before landing on Tony. She took a running start and practically jumped the Agent.
"Tony!" The woman buried her face into his shirt. "Did you see the news?"
He hugged her back. "Yeah, I did."
She twisted her hands into his shirt. "I was in Japan, visiting Josh, when White came and captured Jell-o, Luckie, and Helena."
"What?" Tony pulled her away and gripped her shoulders tightly. His team stared at him in confusion. "Are you sure it's White?"
The woman nodded. "They want to start the project all over again since the B.C was trashed. Beginning with the best of the 'first models' and throwing out the 'last years'. And guess who's at the top of the list."
He shook his head, "Alec and Max."
She nodded, "And a strange new one named Logan."
Tony smacked his forehead, "Great, just great. Do we ever get a friggin' break?"
"I guess not."
Gibbs stood up and cleared his throat sharply. "Are you going to introduce us, DiNozzo?"
"Oh," it seemed as if Tony had forgotten all about the team, "Right. Boss. This is Suzanne Storme. Susie, this is my boss Gibbs and my coworkers Kate Todd and Tim McGee."
Suzanne smiled at them, "It's very nice to meet you. I began ordering the Washington D.C newspaper once I heard Tony was on the NCIS Team. I very much admire your work."
Gibbs let one of his rare, gentle smiles. This woman was very kind spoken and the way she spoke showed how much she cared of Tony and how much pride she had in him. "Thank you very much, Miss. Storme."
"Please, call me Suzanne."
"Okay, Suzanne."
No one missed, though, the dark, warning look Tony shot Suzanne when she mentioned the newspaper. "You know what, Jaguar? I think we need to have a little talk."
"Later," she shushed him. "We need to find Dean."
Tony checked his watch, "I actually heard his name on some FBI chatter. Talking about a new department setting up to investigate supernatural activity, they've made him and Sam the lead directors and detectives of it."
"Yeah, I ran into a few of the supernatural entities while in Scotland. Nasty things. I especially hate djinns."
He chuckled, "Yep, they tend to be the most hated."
Kate had to move her head like she was watching tennis to keep up with the conversation and at the supernatural part she completely lost where the ball had been hit. "Excuse me. Supernatural? What are you guys talking about?"
Tony scratched his cheek, smiling wildly. "We have a friend who hunts down the supernatural—vampires, werewolves and what not. And a new federal department has been created to fully support them and others like them."
"What is this new department called," asked Gibbs, keeping better track of the conversation better than his only female Agent but not by much.
"That's easy, Gibbs." Abby cut in happily. She leaned against McGee's desk, Ducky standing a little behind her. "The Department of Supernatural Investigations or DSI. I'm a huge fan."
Tony nodded towards Suzanne, who took out her phone a speed dialed a number. It was only a few rings before someone answered, the blond woman put it on speaker.
"Yeah?"
In the background Kate snorted a little. "He's a Fed?"
"Hey, Dean. It's Tony and Suzanne."
"Hey! I guess you guys saw the report and are currently at NCIS?"
Tony and Suzanne exchanged amused looks. "Something like that."
Dean sounded proud, "Fornell said that a man named Tony DiNozzo worked at NCIS and he was one hell of an Agent. And since you're the only Tony DiNozzo who's one hell of an Agent, I made an educated guess."
Tony leaned against Suzanne, who, to everyone's surprise, didn't fall over. "You want to get your educated guessing ass over here, along with Sam? We have to figure out what to do."
There was shuffling in the background and a voice yelling, some of it not very nice words. "Sure, We'll be there in fifteen. Don't start without me!"
"Who would want to?"
Gibbs crossed his arms as the phone was hung up. He knew his Senior Agent was hiding something from him all this time but from he's gather the secret was not a very good one. First it had to do with the transgenics from six years ago, someone who went by White, a strange woman named Suzanne, people named Alec, Max, and Logan, and the newly formed Department of Supernatural Investigations, along with a man named Dean. There was also the hush-hush of Tony's computer skills and strange physical skills.
"DiNozzo, is there anything you'd like to tell us?"
The whole of NCIS directed their looks on the pair. Kate in confusion, suspicion and disbelief. McGee
confused, excited about a possible book plot, and a little angry he hadn't been able to get a word in edge wise. Ducky calmly accepting anything and everything. And Abby seemed to be trying to hid a knowing grin.
The goth forensic scientist knew most of what was going on, just barely, though.
Tony's eye shifted around, like a cornered animal searching for a way out. "Uh, not really, Boss." His boss's glare caused him to deflate a little. "Nothing you'd like to know."
"Try me."
The Italian gripped his best friends hand and felt her squeeze back. "Those people, Max, Alec, and Logan, are our friends. And they're also transgenics."
Abby let out a little squeal, she couldn't help it. Tony was best friends with real live (at least she hoped they were alive) transgenics!
"How do you know them?" Gibbs asked, wondering and trying not to let surprise show on his face. "It must be a long time if you're worried about them six years later."
Tony smiled, almost relieved. But he didn't know at what. "I use to live in Seattle, around when I was about 23. Max broke into my apartment because she thought I had some valuables, but I was just a poor college kid taking a break.."
Suzanne laughed. "Tony, you were more than poor. I'm pretty sure I bought more meals for you than I did for myself."
He laughed along with her. Even though he just thought of that he was glad to know his little jaguar hadn't lost her touch.
"I met him and Dean," Suzanne explained, "When I went to this post office to fix a mail mistake. I got Dean's while he got mine, and Tony was there because a letter mistake with a guy two cities over. We spent so much time there we bonded."
Kate quirked an eyebrow. "But that doesn't show how you became friends with three transgenics. If someone stole—or attempted to steal—from me I would report her to the police."
"In most cases I would." Tony checked his phone, hoping Dean would get here soon. "But I noticed she was a transgenic, and I couldn't. Who knew what the police would do to her?" Susie shuddered. "So I promised my silence and my help if she ever needed somewhere to camp out so we became friends. I was then introduced to Logan and Alec."
"We kind of helped then disappear." She whispered quietly so no one outside the group would know. It was a bad idea, some times, to let people know you were a transgenic sympathizer.
"Good," Tim announced, breaking the silence with a surprisingly confident air. "Those people were forced to do what they did and tried to change their ways. No one has a right to look down on them for something they couldn't control."
Tony's smile beamed brightly and he slapped him on the back. "There we go, Timmy! That's the man who can become a Very Special Agent!"
That soon-to-be Very Special Agent flushed at that. "Th-thanks Tony." He actually got a compliment from Tony DiNozzo! This Agent spot was looking brighter by the minute!
The phone rang again and Tony snatched it up, he only put it to his ear as a formality. He already knew who it was about. "Hey, Jessica."
"Hey back, Tony. I have Agents Dean and Sam Winchester here to see you."
"Send them up!"
"Okay guys, go up." Her voice sounded far away for a moment before it came back. "You're mighty popular today, Agent."
He snorted. "It seems so."
"Are you sure they were really agents? That Dean guy looked too...scruffy to be a Fed."
The elevator dinged for a second time in the last half hour, revealing a pretty light brown man with stunning green eyes and a seriously tall dark haired man with a non-too-pleased look on his face.
Tony grinned, "I'm sure. He's a good Agent. I have to go now, Jess."
"Okay, if you say so. Bye-bye Tony."
"Dean!" Susie ran up to her long lost friend and tackled him into a hug like she did to Tony just moments before. "It's been a long time! You've changed!"
Dean laughed and squeezed her tightly. "So have you! Blond, really? I never really pegged you as a cheerleader."
She giggled, twirling a lock of hair in her fingers. "Wanted a change, ya know? And blond is not cheerleader-y!" Dark eyes pinned Tony down. "How come you didn't say anything about my hair?"
He held up his hands in defense. "I wasn't sure if you wanted me to. Some woman get bitchy about hair changes."
Susie huffed and crossed her arms in reply.
"Dean," Sam Winchester interrupted. "Introductions?"
"Oh," his eyes lit up. "Right. Guys, this is my little brother—"
Abby laughed softly, "'Little?'"
The DSI Agent scowled at her. "Yes, 'little.' My little brother Sam Winchester. And I'm Dean. Sam, that's Tony DiNozzo and Suzanne Storme and...I don't know who you are."
"Special Agents Gibbs, Kate Todd, Tim McGee and—"
"Abby Suicto!" The happy Goth yelled. She bounced up to the brothers, pig tails flopping everywhere. "I'm a huge fan of your department. I'm so glad you a Tony are friends. This means I get to talk to you!"
Dean's wide eyes blinked at the onslaught. "Uh, thank you?" He glared at his two snickering friends. "Oh shut up!" He backed away from the Goth slowly until he was closer to Tony and Susie. "What are we going to do about our little problem?"
Tony stared at him solemnly. "The same thing we did last time: we fight back."
