Hetty sat at her desk and sighed, there was three things she knew for sure, the first being that she was grateful to whatever God there was that Cameron was alright, the second thing she knew was that, no matter what she said, Cameron was disturbed but that she would get better and the third thing was that not one member of Callen's team would be able to work properly until Cameron was back to her normal self or at least halfway there. And here was the problem. Cases didn't just stop because of an agent being hurt, people still killed each other and marines still got in trouble, if they didn't then NCIS wouldn't exist. So there she sat thinking about what she could do about the situation, then it hit her. This would mean that her team would get a few weeks off, they could pass on their expertise and Eric would be very happy, she smiled and picked up her phone.

Secret medical facility:

"So when can I leave?" Cameron asked the doctor. She had nearly jumped a mile and shot him at the same time when he had first come into the room. Callen still hadn't taken his gun back.

"Today. But I want you to take it easy, wrap those ribs and if you're even slightly dizzy I want you straight back here."

"Yes doc. I'll come straight back here. So can I go now?" she asked him as she gave him her most winning smile. He stared at her and then smiled,

"Yes. Agent Hanna is here to pick you up."

"Excellent." She tried to get dressed quickly yet carefully. It didn't work she ended up feeling uncoordinated and it ended up taking twice as long. Something she wasn't used too at all. Once she was done she checked herself out and the pain pills the doctor had prescribed for her ribs and she practically ran out to the car. Inside the car Sam smiled and waited for her to climb in before he turned to her,

"Gun."

"Hello to you too Big Guy." Cameron said with a smile that still didn't reach her eyes. She looked in the back seat to make sure there was no one there and then turned her attention to Sam.

"Give me G's gun."

"I don't have his gun."

"You're lying."

"That little…" she pulled a face and pulled the gun out of the small of her back. Sam smiled and then said,

"Hi. How are you feeling today?"

"A little sore I guess. So where are we going? To work?" Sam chuckled,

"Yes we're going to NCIS but not to work." He replied cryptically. Cameron raised an eyebrow but decided not to question him, as he probably wouldn't have told her anything anyway.

NCIS:

As they neared NCIS Cameron started to tap her foot in anticipation.

"Will you stop that!"

"Sorry. Didn't even realise I was doing it."

"That's ok. We're here." Sam parked the car and climbed out. Cameron just sat there taking a couple of deep breaths then she climbed out. As they neared the building Sam noticed that she was walking slightly behind him and that she was trying not to shake. He slowed his walk so that she was level with him as they entered. Out of no way a clunking sound could be heard and a squeal and before she could register what was going on Cameron was in the tightest hug she had ever been in, in all her life. Sam stared in shock but when he heard the crack he pried the girl off his friend who could barely breathe. Cameron staggered backwards trying to catch her breath.

"Abby. What did you do to the poor girl?" an elderly voice asked.

"I was just saying hello." Cameron recognised the voice and the name of the girl. She looked up to see black boots with the biggest studs and heels on them that she had ever seen. As her eyes travelled upwards she saw fishnet tights, a black tartan mini skirt and white t-shirt with a black skull and crossbones on it. Then Sam was in her face and trying to help her stand up,

"You ok?"

"No. I think I cracked another rib. I can't breathe." She gasped out. The elderly man that had spoken earlier appeared next to Sam and Cameron scuttled away when he reached out towards her. Hetty appeared on Sam's other side,

"Cameron this is Dr Mallard. Or Ducky as he prefers to be called. He can help you." Cameron pulled her head up in shock,

"Hetty. You just called me Cameron. You never call me Cameron. What's going on here?" she asked suspiciously. Ducky chuckled,

"Its alright Hetty. Obviously she is weary of strangers so why don't we introduce ourselves to her and then she has less reason to be skittish and I can examine her." Sam and Hetty stepped back and in their place stood the girl she recognised as Abby, a tall man with dark hair and a smile that would make any woman melt, another tall man with dark hair but he looked more geekish, the woman standing next to him looked like she wasn't someone you would mess with and finally the tall man with grey hair and blue eyes was clearly the team leader.

"Hi I'm Tony." Cameron nodded,

"McGee."

"Ziva." Cameron looked at the man next to her and studied him and he stared right back. She smiled,

"You must be Gibbs?" she asked him. He nodded, "I've heard absolutely nothing about you." she smiled but he turned to look at Callen who shrugged.

"Nice to meet you." he stuck his hand out to her and she stepped back some more. Upon seeing this Callen decided to intervene,

"You're safe. They're friends. Now come here." He held his arms out towards her and she tentatively walked forward. Callen started to walk towards her but Sam stopped him,

"Let her come to you G." Cameron started to move towards Callen but then decided to go to Ducky instead.

"Hi." She murmured.

"We heard about what happened to you. Now I believe you have a few cracked ribs that I'm sure Abigail aggravated. Would you mind if I took a look?" Cameron shot a frightened look at Callen who just nodded.

"Erm…yeah…I guess. I mean everyone here knows you right?" she asked him timidly.

"Yeah. He's cool. He's helped me loads of times." Tony said helpfully. Cameron nodded and followed Ducky into the bullpen. He frowned,

"I guess this will have to do. Have a seat on one of the desks." Cameron sat on the edge of her own desk and as Ducky's hand came out towards her she flinched,

"Sorry. Can't help it."

"Its alright my dear. Now can you lift up your shirt for me? So I can look at those ribs." Cameron nodded her head and made to lift her shirt up but she couldn't. As she hissed in pain she could see Callen make a move towards her but Sam stopped him and Kensi came up to her.

"I can help if you want?" Cameron nodded feeling extremely stupid.

"How did you manage to get dressed this morning?" Kensi asked her as she lifted Cameron's shirt.

"With great difficulty. What is Abby doing?" she asked as watched Abby she saw that she was signing.

"Oh God. Oh God. I hurt her. I hurt her." As she paced backwards and forwards.

"I'm not sure. She's been doing that since she hugged you." Kensi replied.

"Abby." Cameron called but she hissed again when Ducky touched a particularly sore spot on her ribs. When Abby didn't answer her she said a little more loudly, "Abby!" Abby's head shot up and Cameron signed,

"I'm fine. Just a little sore. Stop worrying." Cameron smiled as best she could but she was sure it looked more like a grimace. Abby smiled back and stopped her pacing. Ducky stepped back and sighed,

"Alright. You've got about five cracked ribs."

"Five? That's it?" she asked in shock.

"Five is enough to be going on with. Now I want you to stand up so that I can wrap those ribs up. I don't want you to do any heavy lifting or anything strenuous for at least two weeks." Cameron went to stand up but she was hit with a sudden bout of pain that made her go dizzy and even paler, if that was possible. All at once everyone moved forward to stop her from falling over. Kensi and Deeks were closer as Ducky had stepped back anticipating that she would want her team around her.

"You ok?" Deeks asked her.

"Peachy." Deeks frowned,

"Now don't be like that Cammie." Cameron pulled herself up so quick she was surprised she didn't crack another rib,

"Cammie? I don't bloody think so!"

"Oh come on! You need a nickname." Deeks replied attempting to dig himself out of the hole he had inadvertently dug himself into. Cameron glared at him and then turned her attention to Ducky,

"Can you help me?" she asked him timidly.

"Yes dear. Tony! I want a bandage for those ribs." Ducky called over his shoulder, Cameron smiled when he opened his mouth but Gibbs slapped him on the back of the head. She saw him ask Callen and then five minutes later Ducky approached her.

"I need you to stand up as straight as you can for me." Cameron stood up but she could barely stand up straight.

"That's my limit." She said shakily. He quickly wrapped her ribs and then guided her towards the couch.

"Sit down my dear." Cameron sat down and sighed,

"Ahh. Sweet relief. So any good stories?" she asked with her eyes closed.

"Such as?" Ducky asked her.

"Like how many times you've had to do this for Gibbs. Or what's the most bizarre ailment you've come across."

"Well Tony had the plague." Cameron's eyes shot open and she looked at Ducky with scepticism.

"Yeah right."

"No I really did." Tony said walking over towards her slowly. She looked over his shoulder towards Gibbs who nodded.

"Hm interesting. What woman gave you that then?" she asked him and everyone sniggered. Tony however frowned,

"Something I said?" she asked them.

A/N: I thought I would bring in the other NCIS team to change it up a little bit while Cameron was on the mend. Thank you for the reviews. Please keep them coming and if you can think of any good nicknames for Cameron that would be brilliant.
