NCIS Fic - Nella Morte Si Vive 7/?
Rating- MA- I am certain I don't need to tell you why!!
Pairing- Gibbs/DiNozzo
Disclaimer - I own nothing of NCIS...*sigh*..but maybe if I wish really hard......
Summary - Tony has been in Italy for two weeks attending his Great Uncles funeral and tending to his estate. And for two weeks Gibbs' gut has been churning. Tony has stayed in touch with Abby with the exception of one day...is he alright? What happened? But he does say he will be home in time for her Halloween party and is excited to hear that she convinced Gibbs to attend. So what is going on?
Tony and Tim returned to the bullpen and began to hand out lunch. Tony quickly started to fill in Jethro on the conversation that he and Tim had and allowed the bit of doubt and worry creep into his thoughts which the older man quickly tamped down.
He reminded him of Ducky and Abby’s acceptance of his secret as well as how Tim took the news of their relationship and Ziva’s actions up to that point. Certainly Tim was not expecting what he was going to hear, but all things considered after the shock and awe wore off, Jethro fully believed that Tim would firmly continue to be on their side.
Tony, calmed by Jethro, agreed that was the more likely scenario. He kept a quiet eye on Ziva who looked like she was ready to go postal on someone. She was glaring at the room as a whole and he decided to say something.
“Zeeevah, there is no need to get all jealous because Probie and I went alone to pick up lunch, if anyone should have been concerned it would be Jethro and as you can see he wasn’t worried in the least. So relax, eat your lunch, and get back to cold cases.” Tony tried to keep the edge out of his voice but there was no stopping it.
Despite the concern of revealing Jethro and himself to Tim tonight, he was anxious to see if anything had been discovered about Ziva’s clan and powers. A great many factors needed to be known before a plan could be set in motion. He also was going to need to talk to her clan leader to ascertain whether she was rogue or not.
His father was another story and most assuredly, this time he would be dealt with. Part of his duties as King was to hand out punishment for infractions and even his own father wasn’t afforded special dispensation. There was no such thing as Diplomatic Immunity among their culture.
Everyone was held accountable to the laws and over the centuries, punishments had been set for laws broken. They were clear and concise and left no room for error. It had to be this way. Their way of life and culture that survived in secret for centuries would be at stake if it weren’t for said laws.
Tony brought his thoughts back to the present keeping his watchful eyes on Ziva and the clock needing this day to be over. The bullpen was uncharacteristically quiet as they were all lost in their own musings.
Tim was desperately trying to figure out what the secret might be. He knew it was big and had to be unexpected since Tony was beyond concerned at his reaction. Not to mention important since they shared it with Abby and Ducky. Add Ziva into the mix, and he was coming up with all sorts of farfetched scenarios, going as far as Tony haven been bitten by radioactive spiders or Orcs; anything supernatural. Though frankly he was pretty sure that though those things may seem farfetched, they were more likely closer to the mark than he would ever admit to. He really wanted to make sure that his reactions didn’t make it seem to them that he wasn’t in their corner.
Whatever he was going to learn would not scare him off. There was nothing those two men could do to make him believe they were anything less than outstanding good people. They held themselves to higher standards than most and their thirst for justice was unquenchable. It would take a lot to change his mind. Their characters were rock solid as far has he could see.
Sighing Tim went back to the cold cases and decided that he could wait. Speculation was not getting him anywhere. Looking at the clock briefly, he put his mind back to work.
Ziva was seething that she was unable to go with Tim and Tony to get lunch. She needed to get to Tony and could have easily had a moment with him while they were out. She was certain Tim could be easily distracted. Her time was running short, because though she may agree with Senior that Tony and Gibbs had not bonded yet, it was only a matter of time.
She quickly glanced at the two men in question. It was still a shock to her and one she was unable to wrap her head around. All her research and all of Senior’s knowledge never lead her to believe that Tony would interested in men. Gibbs certainly did not give off any such a vibe. But she could tell that it was not a ruse, that they were in fact involved.
Failure was not an option. She was not frightened by Senior. He himself could do nothing to her, but her clan leader could and would if her subterfuge was revealed. And if Tony found out, the punishment for the crime of treason was unthinkable.
She must get Tony in her bed, she was told by a trusted source that by joining with the King before he had bonded, her small power of confusion would be enough to render him pliable, but only during sex when his brain was occupied elsewhere.
She did not receive the full power as she would have liked from her mother or her father. Instead her powers unfortunately were split between both of her parents and were only half strength. If they had been full strength, she would have been a force to be reckoned with. It was rare that a child received the gift from both parents, because of that she was considered abnormal amongst the vampires. Her parents were greatly concerned for her safety due to the mere fact it rendered her, for the most part powerless and easy prey for corruption. They had tried to shelter her from the truth which had only angered her and set her on a path to acquire power by any means necessary.
Then she met Senior and found out that Tony was to be King. His father and his ability to sell his son out may have shocked her, but she had no problem using that to her benefit. The power she had sought for years would not be shared with Senior or anyone; it was to be hers and hers alone.
Finally, the day drew to a close much to everyone’s relief and they all headed out.

Jethro accepted Tony’s silence for what it was; concern over what exactly what was going on with Ziva and his father and the worry that wasn’t going to leave until he either saw McGee’s acceptance or lack there of.
They readied the house for everyone figuring they could order dinner when everyone arrived. It didn’t take long for the house to start filling up. First Jules, Marcel, Sans and Dimitri walked through the door and made their presence known.
“So…what’s for dinner?” Marcel asked.
“I don’t know; what are you cooking?” Jethro shot back.
“We’ll order in. Safer that way. My dad can cook, but that gene definitely passed me by.” Marcel smiled.
“When is Tim arriving?” Sans asked.
Tony looked at his watch. “About 20 minutes. I’m sure Ducky or Abby will be walking through the door any moment now.”
Jules hugged Tony. “It will be fine. I am sure that Tim will be quite surprised but accepting. Stop worrying so much.”
Tony sighed. “Trying. Too much happening at once. I was prepared to tell Tim in the near future, I just never imagined it would be so soon or the reason it would be necessary. Don’t get me wrong, I fully admit my father is a self-serving con man, I just didn’t think he would have a scheme quite so soon. Nor did I ever guess Ziva would be on his side or in fact a vampire.”
“Were you ever going to tell Ziva about your heritage? Jules tilted her head to the side.
Tony shook his head. “No. I have never trusted her; this is not a secret I would place in her hands. I’m certain while my father thinks that he has the upper hand and that she is playing into his needs that in reality she will leave him standing alone wondering what the hell happened. However that is a moot point since their scheme will never come to fruition.”
“I can guarantee neither believes that Jethro and I have bonded or that this relationship is in fact very strong and very real. Nor does my father have any knowledge of the truth of what being the King entails and the power that comes with it.”
The door opened and in walked Ducky and Abby. Abby quickly engulfed Tony in a fierce hug. “It’s going to be alright.” She whispered in his ear. He smiled as he hugged her tight wanting to believe her words when he heard Jethro’s as well. ‘Damn straight.’
“She’s quite right my boy. Everything is going to be all right. Look around you; you are not alone and each of us in this room would stand in front of any fool that would set out to harm you. We shall get through this together Anthony, as families do.” Ducky smiled as he squeezed the young man’s arm.
“So when is Timmy arriving?” Just then, there was a knock on the door. Tony chuckled anxiously.
“I’d say right now.” He opened the door to a slightly nervous McGee.
“Come in Tim. Promise not to bite.” Tony realized what he said as everyone snickered while Tim just looked puzzled.
Closing the door Tony smiled. “We were going to order food. What’s everyone in the mood for?”
A second of silence then everyone started offering up suggestions only to be silenced by a shrill whistle from Jethro.
“Enough!” The silver haired man barked. “We can’t all talk at once.”
“Just order a variety of Chinese and we can pick and choose.” Tony stated and then looked at Tim. “Let me introduce you to my family from Italy; this is Juliette or Jules as I call her, Marcel, Dimitri and last but not least, Santiago or Sans.”
“Tim smiled. “Hi. Very nice to meet you all. Are you visiting Tony?”
Jules smiled putting the man at ease. “Yes and no. We are part in parcel of the big secret. We’re part of his Council, which you will be learning about, but I shouldn’t get ahead of myself.”
Tony sighed. “Nice segway Jules. Jet, is the food ordered?”
“Yep. Be here in 30 minutes.”
“Maybe you ought to sit down Tim.” Tony ushered them all into the living room. “A lot changed for me when I was in Italy, I came into my own so to speak. A family heritage that I wasn’t expecting, but was chosen for. The history itself goes back centuries and you being like Abs and Ducky, curious and with a need to know every speck of knowledge, if you can accept this part of my life, you all can research your to your hearts content.”
Tony narrowed his eyes. “Keeping it silent and secret however.” Abby and Ducky nodded solemnly while their eyes twinkled as McGee took it all in. “I don’t know any other way to say it, other than just spit it out and show you. I am the King of the Vampires.” His fangs descended as McGee watched in awe.
