AN: A lot of things are going to be different but I believe you will like the changes

In the beginning of my NCIS career many wondered how I was able to become a field agent. Some still wonder to this day. Back then I was nothing but a stuttering probie that was green as grass, or at least that's what I wanted them to believe. What they don't know is that it was all an act. No one pays attention to an awkward probie and that was essential to my espionage work.

I'm getting ahead of myself so let me explain. I am an acting agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. chosen at a young age due to my advanced skill with technology. Sent by S.H.I.E.L.D., my objective was to uncover any information leaks and to spy on our government and its enemies.

In training at S.H.I.E.L.D. we were taught not to get emotionally attached to anyone while on mission. My first major assignment and I broke that rule when I started to think of Team Gibbs as a family. To me our bonds seemed unbreakable even in the face of adversity. I would regret that assumption.

Just because I saw them as family didn't mean they were any easier to deal with. Tony was still an obstinate ass, Abby a petulant child, and Gibbs a bullheaded fire-breathing dragon but being a family meant you overlooked those things or so I was taught. Anymore that was getting harder and harder to do as their attitudes grew more toxic with each passing year. Even poor Ziva was caught up in the increasing dissention in the team still getting used to the social normality of American life even after so long.

It was times like these that I missed my assignment back at the Triskelion. There I wasn't used as someone's emotional punching bag. There I was treated as an equal working in the science department. There under the tutelage of my pseudo-father I was considered strong. There I was important.

Anymore at NCIS I was considered the whipping dog of my team. Here I was considered inferior to their remarkable "talents". Here I was considered weak compared to my "strong" teammates. It was here that I was considered an unremarkable nobody.

No one would suspect me, Timothy McGee, McGoo, the Elflord, a man who is as socially awkward as a turtle, to be one of the best agents Shield has ever had, but then again would they ever know.
