A Threat To The Homeland. NCIS Fanfiction (Tiva)

Diffuse it!

-Ziva's POV-

"So what did Gibbs mean by 'finally able to do your job'?" I asked Tony as we headed down the ship's aisle facing each other in order to fit through two at a time.

"He meant I don't have to continue being so jealous since you're mine now." Tony replied. I felt a warm feeling on the inside, and couldn't help but smile.

"Am I yours?" I asked, jokingly running ahead of him and slipping into a sleeping corridor. Tony couldn't help but follow. Just as he was about to pass me, I grabbed his tie and pulled him in, forcing him into a kiss. He wrapped his hands around my waist once he realized what was happening, and we kissed for what seemed like forever until a ticking noise broke us apart.

"Ziva did you hear that?" Tony asked, arms still around me. I nodded. We headed towards the back of the room, following the sound. Behind the bed, there was a small book bag. I opened it and inside I found no other than a bomb. It had a timer that was counting down from 17 hours.

"Let's go tell Gibbs." Tony offered.

"I can diffuse it." I countered as I unsheathed my knife.

"Ziva I would rather you didn't." Tony grunted. I looked up at him and smiled.

"I'll be fine. Promise." I assured him.

I concentrated on the wires, careful not to slash the wrong one. There were four wires, so I knew I might have to cut two. Knowing that, I chose a wire. The beeping nearly ceased, but only for a minute as the numbers rapidly counted down.

"Ziva!" Tony screamed. I raised my hand, telling him I wasn't done. I cut the second wire, and the bomb stopped with less than a minute left. I sighed deeply and rested my eyelids.

"It's done." I informed Tony. He sighed too. "Call Gibbs."
