Little Lightning DiNozzo

Back to Work

Tony studied and learned as much as he could in the next couple weeks before he was due to go back to work. He had always been a good student and seemed to pick up on the lessons very well. He learned a lot and even had spells that will help him with his job like a scan to see if there are people around, wards to keep those will ill intent away, and even Clive had finally managed the set of runes he was able to carve into phone batteries to help them not only work around magic, but stay charged with magic. They were able to do this with Tony's laptop as well so he was doing some work there.

Tomorrow is the first day Tony will be back at work starting with a meeting with Director Vance before anybody else comes in. He is going to bring Harry and show him where he works, he plans to introduce him to the security guards so that if Harry is ever in trouble or needs help he knows where to go. They also have a few schools to choose from for Harry to start when he turns 5 magic wise however they found a preschool for him this year. Because it is half way through the year already he would only be at the daycare for 5 months. He is going to stay with Clive for the first week then he will start half days for the second week. After that Clive is going back to England so he will go full day until he can be picked up by Jimmy Palmers wife.

Harry was introduced to Jimmy and his little family one day when they all met in the park. Breena was pregnant with little Victoria and so she offered to babysit Harry to get some practice for when her baby girl comes. Harry instantly took a liking to Breena when made Tony feel better. He was a little shy around Jimmy but his easy going and gentle atmosphere helped Harry calm down and tell him all about his dragon stuffy and the adventures he has gone on.

Tony had explained to Harry about how he had to go back to work and then, came the melt down. He begged Tony for almost an hour not to leave him promising he would be good. Gibbs eventually had to help and explain everything as well.

Tony did not get a good night's sleep worrying about Harry and how he would react with Uncle Clive tomorrow being away from Tony for the first time since the hospital. He was joined in bed by Harry around 01:20 where he sang him an Italian lullaby his mother used to sing him. He finally fell asleep around 03:00 holding his little lightning bug.

Tony woke up to his alarm at 05:30 and quickly shut it off before Harry woke up too early. He shuffled out of bed and towards the kitchen for a coffee. He needed to wake up a little bit before he could get ready for the day. He saw Gibbs coming back from his morning run and made enough coffee for him as well. Gibbs drank his coffee with a gruff thanks before going upstairs to shower for the day. Tony went back to his room to pick out his clothes and make sure his go bag still had everything he would need. He also got Harry's backpack ready with some extra pull-ups, a coloring book and crayons, a story book, and a couple of little toys.

When the shower was open Tony went to take his shower. He took a bit longer under the hot water to relax his muscles a little from the tension of leaving Harry for the day. He got out and made sure to shave the few day old beard he had going. After he finished getting dressed he walked back to his room, seeing the bed empty he grabbed the bags and made his way downstairs where Jethro and Harry were sitting talking about what Harry was excited about doing today. Clive is taking Harry to the Smithsonian museum where Harry is hoping to see dinosaurs and Uncle Clive is excited about the history of the United States he can learn. Tony smiled seeing Harry and Jethro interact so easily. He sat down and grabbed a bagel to eat for breakfast. They decided to all drive in two cars as Clive will need the car seat to take Harry out after the meeting. The drive itself was not eventful.

"Good morning Kyle, Dave" Tony greeted the security guards working that morning. "Harry, this is my good friends Kyle and Dave. They work here at the front desk to make sure the people coming in are allowed." Tony said holding Harry when he got shy around the new people. Tony got a visitor's pass for Clive and Harry. "If you are ever in trouble and are near here I want you to tell them and they will help you and come get me okay? Can you say hi to them for me so they know you?"
