Aliyah Darkness

Summary: What if Gibbs chose Ziva over Tony? What if Tony was the one in Somalia? What if Ziva and Tony could get things right? Full of TIVA LOVE! It's a must read

Prologue:

Ever since Tony had killed Michael Rivkin, Ziva's lover and friend, Ziva hated him and could no longer trust him. Ziva could not work with him; she'd have to make Gibbs choose Tony or her. As they were about to get on the plane from Tel Aviv to D.C she grabbed Gibbs arm and look into his bright blue eyes

"Gibbs I think it is best if one of us is reassigned to a new team. I cannot trust him Gibbs, I'm sorry but I can't trust him let alone work with him." Gibbs looked into Ziva's eyes and flashed back to four years ago when she shot Ari, her brother and best friend for him, in that moment he realised he owed Ziva and what she'd have to do. He looked over her shoulder and met the eyes of her evil father.

"Get on the plane Ziva I'll sort it out."

"Thank you…" she whispered.

As Ziva sat next to Vance she looked up the isle to where Tony was seated and noticed he was in a heated discussion with someone on the other line of his cell phone.

"Are you sure Tony?" Aribella's voice rang through his ears. Her voice was like rusty bells but somehow it felt like home. Secure. The pain he felt began dimming.

"Of course I am sure… they're about to feed me to the dogs. Ziva hates me and I can't live with that."

Tony choked on the last part of the sentence. He never thought he could hurt this much emotionally. His pain was because Ziva hated him and Gibbs abandoned him just like his biological father did after his mother died.

"I'm on my way Tony."

Tony stayed seated away from the other. He listened to their hushed conversation until he fell asleep. When they reached the NCIS building, everyone but Tony got in the elevator.

"I'm off for coffee, Vance be nice to Tony. He's going to take the news hard…"

DING!

The elevator doors slid open. Ziva frowned as she got to her desk. Sat at Tony's desk was a middle aged woman with long, fire like hair, a large bald, huge muscled man and a beautiful exotic woman. Vance froze she he saw them but silently lead them up to his office. However the beautiful woman remained seated.

"Can I help –" Ziva began to ask before Tony interrupted.

"Scarlett?" Tony husky voice rang out in the bullpen.

CHAPTER ONE

In Vance's office

As they entered his office Vance froze as at his desk sat the sectary of the navy. The women dressed all in black laughed and went to sit behind the sec nav. The well-built man stood behind him. He looked like a boxer with his large muscles and deep scars.

"Director this is Aribella's Hunter… Director of the black ops team." Secnav announced nervously "We are here to talk about DiNozzo, Miss Hunter here will be taking him as her new team leader. He has already signed the paper work. No grudge will be held against him and he is released immediately." The meeting lasted for over an hour as Vance was briefed on Tony first assignment of the capturing of Saleem a terrorist in Somalia.

"He will still be your Agent just not Agent Gibbs and he will still answer directly to you."

So I can get him back when I want?"

"Well-"

"If I agree then yes" Aribella interrupted.

"Very well" The meeting ended. As they left MTAC they looked down to see if they could spot Tony but he was nowhere in sight.

IN ABBYS LAB

Tony's stomach turned at the sound of Abby crying. Tony adjusted the jacket of his tan Armani suit, so it didn't bunch up as he wrapped Abby up in his muscular arms.

"T-T-Tooony… You must not go. I need you! Gibbs needs you! Timmy, Ziva, Ducky and Palmer need you!" Abby cried into his shoulder.

"Abbs, I'm leaving and it's settled. Gibbs doesn't need me he chose Ziva. Ziva doesn't need me nor does she want me." Abby cried even harder as Tony turned to leave. He kissed her forehead

"Take care of her Mcgoo, Take care of yourself Ducky and you too Jimmy… I'll be in touch." The team watch as Tony disappeared with Scarlett when the elevator doors closed.

"Oh god… I'm sorry Tony. I know how hard that was for you. Come on lets go."

IN THE BULL PENN

"Sauron put all his boxes in the van and wait there with Erin and Cole." The large man left the building. Gibbs and Ziva stood there shocked as Vance and Secnav were letting Tony leave with these dangerous people.

DING!

The elevator opened and Tony stepped out with Scarlett on his arm rubbing his arm with her hand in a comforting way. Tony stepped face to face with his salvation. Aribella! He couldn't help but smiled at her. All his masks dropped leaving his face raw with emotion. Ziva regretted the feeling of jealous she had when she saw the beautiful woman hanging off his arm, jealousy of the obvious bond they had that got him to shed his masks. Ziva looked between them with and glared. Even though she despised her ex-partner but she was curious to know who they actually are to him. Aribella grabbed Tony's other arm and stroked his cheek to make him look at her.

"Have you said goodbye?" Tony just nodded "Okay time for you to come home." That grabbed Gibbs' attention

"DiNozzo we need to talk in my office, now!" Gibbs stood there shocked when Tony made no move to follow him. Tony stance became strong, guarded and his eyes became hard.

"Tony is my agent and he obviously doesn't want to talk so don't communicate with him unless you are asked to."

"HOW IS HE YOUR AGENT? HE IS MINE!" Gibbs roared.

"No he is my agent. You gave up on him, abandoned him so he turned to someone he could trust."

"DiNozzo, Please" Gibbs begged.

"Agent Gibbs, as my Boss said. I don't want to talk. I have said good bye to those who matter. It is time for me to leave. Take care of yourself Agent Gibbs and Officer David. There are letter left for the other goodbyes." Ziva and Gibbs turned as they watch there ex-team member leave to begin his new life without them. Everyone began to read their letters.
