Holding Out For A Hero.

Chapter 1: - I need a hero.

Kate had moved as Ari shot, causing the bullet to go into her shoulder. She was unconscious but alive.

Abby had watched over her for days now, and she was finally allowed to touch her. Abby’s first move was to kiss Kate, surprising Kate but confirming that she loved her.

-Next day –

Ziva sat awaiting Gibbs… alone. She didn’t know that Kate had mentioned her to Abby and so she was a little surprised when the goth approached her. She turned, she seemed quiet, gentle but confident. Abby faked that she was going to take Ziva to Gibbs… When they reached the elevator Abby attacked, roughly. She felt Ziva pull back but pushed on, only releasing Ziva when the woman screamed… she hadn’t meant to go through with it… and she’d only just stopped short of harming Ziva.

“I…I’m sorry…”

Chapter 2: - Holding out…

Abby had retreated to see Kate, she was almost crying as she told her what she’d done. Kate kissed her cheek softly, reassuring Abby that she was not a bitch and that she’d had a momentary lapse of judgement.

Ziva had remained at NCIS after leaving a desperate message for someone to come help her… She had come back up to near MTAC and stood, shivering… Abby’s attack had brought back painful memories. She only turned to look when someone gently touched her shoulder, a shivery cry escaping her.

“Easy…” Jenn murmured softly, moving to stroke a stray tear from Ziva’s cheek. “You’re safe now…” She suddenly felt remorse for leaving Ziva to fend for herself. She only looked back at Ziva when a warm hand covered her own.

Chapter 3: - Til the end of the night…

It had been a week since Abby’s attack on Ziva and both she and Kate were in bed. She curled closer to Kate, a hand tracing the wound on Kate’s shoulder before dipping lower. She felt Kate guide it to where she wanted it… She took her time and found pleasure in pleasuring Kate…

Chapter 4: - Reach, Someone reaching back for me…

Ziva had spent the past week in Jenn’s flat, borrowing the spare room, both Ziva and Jenn had expressed their love, quietly and honestly.

Jenn now kissed Ziva tenderly, a hand stroking though her hair. She felt Ziva shiver and gently stroked her cheek, reassuring her. Ziva eventually relaxed and let Jenn push her into the bed, their eyes met, Ziva’s silent trust making Jenn all the more determined to make love to her. She slowly undressed both Ziva and herself, gently stroking a hand over Ziva’s body, careful to maintain eye-contact, she was surprised when Ziva guided her hand lower, confidence returning to her.

Moments later Ziva was sleeping peacefully. Jenn watched her with a gentle smile.

-The End –
