ENJOY!
Gibbs sat at his desk with his coffee in hand; he was going over some reports from last night. Looking over at the rest of his team he spotted Tony his SFA annoying the hell out of Ziva his newest agent, she looked just about ready to kill him with the paperclip she's currently twirling in her fingers. Shaking his head he looked to his left only to smirk, of course, McGee would be the only one looking to get some work done. This always happened when they had no case, bickering, and boredom. The sound of the elevator caught the four agent's attention. Even more at the sight of an officer and a...wolf?
"Agent Gibbs?" The officer called.
Gibbs stood up with a frown. "Yes?"
"I have a delivery. If you can please sign here." The officer handed him the clipboard and a pen.
Gibbs grabbed it, looking it over as his frown just got deeper. "I'm sorry, but I didn't authorize this." He handed him back the board. Glancing down at the wolf he was confused by the fact that she had a muzzle on.
"No, but I did Jethro." Vance's voice came from the top of the stairs. "I figured a K-9 was all you needed to have a complete team." He looked towards the dog, then the petty officer. "Why is she muzzled?"
Said officer looked down at her then at the director. "It is standard process director, for the safety of those around her." He then turned back to Gibbs handing him the board. "Please agent Gibbs if you can sign the paperwork." With a sigh, Gibbs signed the papers.
Alex knew he didn't want her there and to be completely honest, she didn't want to be here either, but she had nowhere to go and until she could shift back there is not much she could do. She watched as the man left her behind. Not wanting to give Gibbs and his team trouble, she started following the officer to the elevator.
"No! Stay!" The officer said sternly. "You stay here. This is your team." The officer gave me a reassuring smile as he disappeared into the elevator.
Alex glanced back at the four agents watching her, with a whimper she slowly made her way back to them. She stopped in front of agent Gibbs avoiding his icy glare.
"Tony grab her leash and watch her." Gibbs ordered giving the director a death glare, as the man smirked walking back into his office.
Tony huffed, but just as he reached for the leash Alex lunged, the only thing protecting Tony was the fact she had the muzzle on.
"I don't think she likes me boss." Tony grumbled shooting her a dirty look.
Alex growled at him, moving to lay by the elevator, not wanting to be near them and not wanting to be in their way. Tony just waved her off going back to his desk. Ziva grabbed a little ball she had on her desk, before gently rolling it towards her bumping it against her paw. McGee had placed his plate of lunch beside her, but that fact that she wouldn't let anyone near her, the muzzle stayed on. Alex closed her eyes thinking of her family, her pack, brother, sister, all of them. She missed them so much, inwardly she was shedding tears at the loss of them. She wished she was running in the field with her little brother, chasing rabbits with her alpha, or just gossiping with her friends, but no here she was stuck in her wolf body and with a team that didn't want her.
'When did my life become so complicated?' Alex thought as she fell asleep.
Gibbs watched the 'newest member' of his team. For the past two hours, she has not allowed anyone near her. They needed to get her somewhat comfortable so they can remove the muzzle. Gibbs groaned as he stood and slowly made his way to her, without missing a beat she was awake and staring at him.
Alex sensed someone closing in on her, looking up she was surprised it was the alpha male. She watched him closely as he crouched in front of her, his hand slowly coming towards her causing her to release a growl.
Gibbs retained himself from backing his hand away as she growled. "I'm not going to hurt you, but I need to take that off so you can eat." He was surprised as what seemed to be understanding flashed through her eyes. "Are you going to attack once it is removed?" Gibbs felt stupid talking to an animal.
Alex titled her head, his voice was so gentle like the calming sound of the waves and the breeze. The only way she could show him she won't attack was by a lick, but that was impossible at the moment 'I won't hurt you.' Alex whimpered.
Gibbs heard the whimper and took that as an answer to his question. Slowly he reached over her head, making sure to not make any sudden movements. Soon Alex felt her face and mouth relieved from their restrains. Gibbs ran his hand over her head as he did that, all smells hit her like a ton of bricks, soon she came across the ones in her shirts. She followed the desert smell to agent Da-vid. The Hugo boss to agent McGee and the one of mint to agent Dinozzo. She wagged her tail once she found the one she was looking for, to her surprise it led her back to agent Gibbs.
"That's better." Gibbs whispered, pulling the bowl of water closer to her. "Drink up." With a last pat on the head, he left her alone.
Alex didn't need to be told twice as she finished the water in record time. Looking towards her new team, she knew she had to gain their trust, but to do so she would have to trust them first. The problem was trusting is a hard topic for her, but agent Gibbs had already gained hers the moment he came into her sight. With a deep breath, she walked closer to them.
Alex walked up to Ziva's desk first; the agent was currently on the phone and didn't seem to notice her. She took a seat beside her chair waiting for the moment to make herself known. As Ziva hung up the phone she dropped a pen. Alex grabbed it standing on her hind legs, she placed it on the desk. Ziva was surprised, but quickly recovered ruffing up her fur. "Thank you." Ziva laughed, massaging her neck for a moment, before turning back to work. Looking at the computer Alex notice they were working on a case.
Giving her a small lick on the arm, Alex trotted over to agent McGee's; he was reading a file and to engross to see her. 'What is it with these people? Do I have to come in with a parade? As is being a wolf is not enough!' Alex growled as she jumped onto his desk hovering over the undetected agent. McGee yelped at her faces sudden appearance over the file. "Damn it! Don't do that!" McGee exclaimed glaring at his laughing teammates, Gibbs had a small almost non-noticeable smirk. Alex jumped off the desk to his side, giving him a small lick on the cheek 'I'm sorry just playing with you.' McGee hugged her around the neck, ruffing her up letting her no hard feelings.
Alex turned towards Tony, something about him had her on edge so with a simple growl she moved to the last person the alpha, agent Gibbs.
She needed to let him know that she accepted him as the alpha; she stopped beside his chair looking up at him. 'Damn he's good-looking. What the hell is wrong with me? I'm a wolf and he's-well-he's normal.' That didn't stop her from admiring him, he had strong facial features, and granted he was much older than her, but that didn't matter to her. His scent drove her wild, a mixture of old spice, sawdust, and something that was all him. He held himself with authority and power the way an alpha should.
Gibbs knew she was there, but as to why he didn't know. After a few minutes and seeing she wasn't leaving, he glanced down at her staring straight into her bright gray eyes. Alex quickly adverted her eyes submitting to him, this was second nature to her being a beta and all. Gibbs reached for her rubbing her ear earning a wag of her tail, he held back a chuckle at the content look she had on her face. Much to the surprise of director Vance and the team, Alex stayed by him the entire morning never once leaving his side. When he went to Abby's lab she was with him, and to Ducky's office, she would wait for him outside the door surprising Gibbs.
Alex followed him out the elevator as he yelled to his team.
"McGee what do you have?"
"Petty officer Kyle Hanson. His phone records show an excessive amount of calls between our last victim and smuggler." McGee answered without missing a beat.
"Alright gear up." Gibbs ordered as he grabbed his gun and badge from his drawer.
Alex stood in the middle of the bullpen not sure if she was to follow or not. Gibbs stepped into the elevator as he comically looking around him, he held the elevator and poked his head out, spotting her he let out a loud whistle. Alex ran to the elevator stopping just in front of it waiting for the order.
"What? You want an invite?" Alex tilted her head to the side 'Well? Do I?'
"Get in here!" Gibbs ordered. Alex trotted in pushing Tony back so she stood beside him, Gibbs smirked. "Atta girl."
Reaching the parking lot they made their way to the trucks. "McGee you're wi-" He was cut off as Alex jumped past him and into the truck the moment he opened the door. "With me." He sent her a playful glare. Ziva and Tony took the other truck.
