Summary: Buffy meets Kensi and Deeks to deliver some unpleasant paperwork.
Author's Note: Follows ' Blast From the Past'. This is definitely meh, but my brain is fried.
Three months after visiting Los Angeles Buffy was back. This time because her father had finally resurfaced and remembered he had daughters. Who knew who had given him Buffy's phone number, but he'd called one day out of the blue. After some stilted apologies for his many years of absence, they'd agreed to meet in LA, and that Buffy would bring Dawn along. The meeting was three days away, so she'd decided to see Kensi again. After seeing Angel, of course.
Rather than call the other woman and spoil the surprise, she'd gotten Willow to do some hacking and got her the location. As a result, she was spying on her old classmate from nine tables away, just because she could and to check if she was working or just eating lunch with her boyfriend. From what she could overhear, it was a lunch date so she walked over.
"Hello, Kensi. Hello, Kensi's boyfriend. Mind if I sit?" She smiled at the surprised couple and waited for her request to be either accepted or denied.
As her friend appeared to have temporarily lost her voice, the boyfriend chose to reply on her behalf. "Hello, Kensi's randomly appearing friend, you may sit." He then leaned forward and extended a hand, "I'm Marty Deeks, and you are?"
"Buffy Summers." Recognition dawned in his eyes and his relaxed demeanor became more focused. "I see you're one of the people who had been informed about NCIS's attempt to find information about me, including several someones attempting to hack my organization's servers."
That made both of them look taken aback and not happy with the situation at all. "I get that you're curious, we all do, but the information you're trying to access is highly classified." She handed Kensi a file with the cliche red 'CLASSIFIED' stamp on the front because Andrew had been in one of his overly dramatic moods when he gave her the paperwork. "This is an official cease and desist order from the higher-ups. Defy it and anyone who does the hacking or is told of anything they find will be charged with treason. It's harsh, but your organization have been told to back off multiple times and have chosen to ignore it."
Someone, she wasn't sure who, had contacted whoever was in charge of the NCIS Office of Special Projects in LA and attempted to get them to back off. It hadn't worked so here she was, delivering an official threat to an old acquaintance and her other half.
It wasn't like the IDC were innocent, they'd done their own share of investigations into Kensi, her team, and OSP, but they had mostly done it the legal way. Willow's additional snooping notwithstanding. They more or less found what they'd expected and the unexpected parts could be ignored as it didn't concern them. Willow had also given her the file on Donald Blye's murder and Kensi's investigations into the case. The woman was determined, she'd give her that.
The only problem was, there was no reason for her, her team, OSP in general, or NCIS to know about the non-human/non-animals part of their world. There were enough terrible people in their lives, there was no reason to inform them about vampires and other demonic creatures. Chances were it would only get them killed and that was something none of them wanted on their conscience.
Kensi read through the file and gave her an incredulous stare, "This names just about everyone at headquarters." It included everyone on her team, plus someone name Henrietta Lange, Owen Granger, and two people who were most likely the hackers if their credentials were any indication. The latter had been confirmed by someone their lawyers had talked to regarding this incident.
"I know what's in there, and I am sorry about this, but the information you're looking for just isn't available to you."
"Because it's dangerous, or not dangerous you just have powerful friends, or you're secretly an alien here to conquer Earth and we're getting in your way and-"
"*Deeks*!" Wow, that was. Um, something. Maybe it was time to leave now, she had clearly stayed longer than necessary.
"Riiight. I think that's my not-so-subtle clue to leave you two lovebirds alone." She got up from her chair as she spoke. "Kensi, we'll have to do a better reunion at some other point, preferably without threats and snooping people, but I'll be in touch next time I'm in LA."
They exchanged some stiff formalities and then Buffy repeated her apology and her promise to seek her out at some other point. As she walked away, the only thing she could think about was the likelihood of them being able to fix this mess and become friends. There were certain things you just could not forget about, and this might just be one of those.
