Thanks, lordroel

I know I need to kick this thing back in gear. I've got the next five chapters plotted out and know where I ultimately want the characters to end up, but on this story I'm definitely writing like a pantser (seat of your pants, as opposed to a plotter, where every scene is meticulously plotted out start to finish).

Please be patient with me, and if you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to speak up!

So far i i have no questions as i lik reading it Brky2020, but if there are i will post them here.

RFK Stadium



While his team talked amongst themselves on what their next move should be, Gibbs looked at the stands, in particular the press box. There was something….different about it, from when and DiNozzo went to the RFK Stadium they knew to see the Redskins play.



He thought he remembered the press box hanging over the lower deck. The press box he was staring at didn’t have club seats directly underneath it, like the ones the Redskins built in…



My world.



He noticed five different types of people in the club seats and press facilities, but he only was interested in the one person who had been watching his people and himself since they had arrived.



“Boss? Boss? Where are you going?”, DiNozzo called out as Gibbs walked away. DiNozzo, Kate Todd, Mike Franks and Jimmy Palmer began to run after him when Gibbs stopped, turned around 180 degrees and held his hand out.



“You stay here, no matter what,” Gibbs said.



Kate sighed in frustration as the dogged ex-Marine made his way through the crowd, away from she and their team. “Why does he always do that?”, she said to no one in particular.



“Maybe I taught him a little too well,” Franks said to her. “What in hell is he up to?”



“I think we ought to find out,” she replied.



“We stay here, keep everyone together, just like Jethro said,” Franks replied. “That doesn’t mean we can’t watch.”



“Watch him,” she said. “What’s he up to?”



Katie Yates made her way into the stands, trying to stay incognito, trying to adhere to that rule that Marcus and Julie had about not letting ‘them’ see you while you’re watching them. She felt strongly she was doing badly, but couldn’t come up with a solid reason as to why.



She looked around for an empty seat to sit in, but every seat in the stadium was taken and more than a few people were sitting on the steps between sections. From what she had heard, hundreds of people had been put up in the concourse.



Some of these people looked familiar. They weren’t anyone she knew or worked with personally; they were people she had seen at the coffee shop, a restaurant, or the bookstore. She suddenly realized she hadn’t thought about the people in the stands; who they were, where they were from, how confused many of them were, how upset some others were.



What had happened wherever it was that they came from?, she thought. What was it like to go through that wormhole that the FEMA people had specifically instructed ‘volunteers’ like her NOT to discuss with anyone?



Like most people who worked for the government, Katie had heard whispers of cases of interactions between the Justice League and military personnel with people from parallel universes. Could those people who looked like Gibbs and Julie’s sister and the others – could all of these people – be from one of those universes?



Omigod. That has to be what’s going on.



For the moment, Katie put the issue of the Gibbs team lookalikes – and the origins of these ‘refugees’ -- aside. She looked around the crowd, this time for who else was here. She reckoned that there were about 3,000 FEMA people here – and not all of them looked the part.



So who was Agency? Bureau? Homeland? DEO? There’s nobody from NCIS, just me.



She looked around again, and decided Marcus and the rest of her team couldn’t get there soon enough. She’d stay where she was, sitting in the aisles, and decided to resume looking for the Gibbs lookalikes.



“Haven’t seen this many people here since my buddy and I saw the ‘Skins play the Meteors,” she heard a man say, sitting in the aisle seat right next to her. “Came back the next year, when they played the Cowboys.”



Katie realized she had a golden opportunity fall in her lap: talk to somebody, figure out who they are, where they’re from, anything else that the FEMA people didn’t mention in that meeting yesterday. Like Dwayne Pride said, ‘learn things’.



“I’m not much of a sports person myself,” she said, looking out at the crowd. “I’ve been to a few concerts – me and my girlfriend saw Shania Twain here last August.”



Then she realized how rude she was, staring at the crowd and not talking to the man next to her. She turned to her left to introduced herself, and gasped a moment later. “Oh God.”



“Nope, just an NCIS agent,” he said with a smile, attempting to put her at ease while reaching for his ID badge in his back pocket. He showed it, and she stared at the name next to the photo:



Leroy Jethro Gibbs.



Writer’s note: Some of the supporting characters, including Commander Will Coburn and Petty Officer Remy Gautreau, are from Mel Odom’s obscure but underrated Navy NCIS trilogy of novels. Although that series has no connection to the NCIS television shows, I’ve chosen to introduce them into this story and the universe it is set in. Obviously, I don’t own nor claim the rights to those characters, nor to the NCIS characters.

Now i can hardly wait until the two teams are going to team up.

[Brky2020]

I need to finish introducing them first...

Okay, no rush.

[Brky2020]

Working on chapter 4. lordroel we'll get formally introduced to most of our team.

I'll get more into the military team from the Carolinas, and why I'm using them as support (as opposed to the NCIS: New Orleans or NCIS: Los ANgeles teams, or even the Special Projects team based in Miami).

There was also plans to do a spin off of NCIS called NCIS: Red wich never worked out, do they exist here.

Chapter 4, Part I


Chapter 4



It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

London, U.K.

Hilton Heathrow Airport Hotel



Ari Haswari was in a hurry.



If the Indian hacker-for-hire he chose to set up his transporter travel route did her job, Haswari would go from the Arabian peninsula to the United Kingdom in less than 10 minutes, undetected. No time could be wasted; Haswari had to be in America as soon as possible, without drawing the attention of the numerous international intelligence agencies who had him at the top of their most wanted lists. The transporter would facilitate the first part of his journey to the States.



One of the greatest advances in travel in the past three decades was the development of the transporter and, like a number of technological advances, its origin was extraterrestrial – specifically, Rann.



Because it worked exactly like the transporter in the Star Trek universe, though, the popular perception of the Rannians inventing the technology after watching an episode of Star Trek with the show’s creator, Gene Roddenberry, still lingered (one of the first things the Rannian Ambassador did after arriving on Earth was, in fact, to watch an episode of Trek with Roddenberry and President Ronald Reagan). In reality, the technology had been invented while Earth fought its first World War, and the Rannians helped develop the five transport networks in use – civilian, government, military, intelligence and private.



The civilian networks were the least used, high prices limiting the technology to multi-millionaire celebrities and entrepreneurs – such as Richard Branson, Jay-Z, the Kardashians, Lionel Messi and Bruce Wayne. Companies used the technology to transport rare items. The lack of ‘bandwidth’ kept it out of mass use for the time being.



Government, military and intelligence networks had priority, and used when necessary, or expedient. Some users still shared the viewpoint of Star Trek character Leonard McCoy towards the transporter of not wanting their “atoms scattered halfway across the universe”, and preferred the slower, and perceivably safer, means of aircraft to travel where they needed to go.



The private network became the domain of major corporate executives and the ultra-rich and powerful: Fortune 500 companies, Russian oligarchs, Chinese executives and Western businessmen had their own branches off the main network. President Luthor still had his own branch; so did the Justice League groups, the Global Guardians, and the Chinese, Russian and ‘nonaligned’ heroic groups.



Today, Haswari used the Interpol network to transport himself and his baggage, in quick succession, from Ra’s Al-Ghul’s compound to Dubai; to Ankara, Turkey; to Munich, Germany; and to Heathrow. Under the alias of German football official Thomas Mueller – looking more German than either his Israeli father or his Arab mother – Haswari appeared on a one-person pad behind a supply closet near the entrance to a stairway. He pushed a series of buttons he knew Interpol agents used to fool security cameras into not seeing them leave the closet and enter the hallway, while monitoring hidden camera footage that showed the entrance to the closet and the stairwell, and the nearby hallway.



Two minutes later, he saw an opening, and confidently walked into the hall, headed towards the front desk. Once he found the walkway to Heathrow’s Terminal 4, Haswari would take the six-minute walk to T4, then take the TfL Rail to Terminal 5. That’s where he’d take the 9:55 TWA flight to Baltimore-Washington Airport; by the time Interpol realized someone had used their transport network, Haswari would be in America.



Haswari hadn’t covered his tracks enough. Someone at Interpol headquarters in Brussels discovered the intrusion, and had already traced its origin to the Al-Ghul compound.



At 8:51 p.m. GMT, calls were made to MI5 – the U.K. domestic intelligence service – the American Central Intelligence Agency, and the Israeli security service Mossad. One minute later, another call was made: to Talia Head, the acting Chief Executive Officer of LexCorp.



Talia Head – a.k.a. Talia Al-Ghul, the daughter of the Demon’s Head, Ra’s Al-Ghul, the ecological terrorist who had sheltered Haswari since The Siege – was very interested in Ari Haswari’s whereabouts. Head took a call from her Interpol source at LexCorp’s Metropolis headquarters, wired 100,000 Francs to the source’s secret Swiss bank account, then made travel arrangements.



If Haswari was going to Washington, so was she.



3:52 p.m. EDT

Washington, D.C.

The White House



President Luthor never made use of the couches in the Oval Office whenever speaking with anyone. He sat behind his desk as a symbol of the power he held; the furniture was arranged to face the desk and its sole user. If a head of state or ambassador visited, he or she sat in an easy chair situated to the President’s right, three feet from his desk; Congressional leaders, intelligence directors, military officers sat in the couches arranged eight feet from the desk’s front.



It showed the relative respect Luthor had for his Vice President that Frank Rock sat in the chair to the President’s right. Rock drank a cup of black coffee, while Luthor had a bottle of water. Rock still had no idea what the President ate at all, or drank other than water, whereas Luthor seemed to know Rock’s culinary and beverage preferences intimately – just like he knew so much about the former general’s life.



“Just spoke with Homeland,” Luthor said. “President Boehner’s asking questions at Andrews. Wants to talk to me. “



“I can’t blame him, Mr. President,” Rock said. His respect for the office of the President of the United States was immense; he still wasn’t fully certain about the man currently holding that position, but tried not to let it show. “He is the President, or a President. He’s used to getting his way.”



“That has crossed my mind, Frank. I don’t want to go there uninformed. Look at page one.” Luthor picked up a folder and gestured to the one in Rock’s hand. “Skim through it real quick.”



Rock skimmed the first page inside the folder as ordered. “Updated target list on Earth-17 isn’t as complete as I would expect, sir. I’m surprised there’s anyone over there to send us intel, to be honest. I expected their World War III to be total, no survivors in their CONUS.”



“Their defense shield held better than expected, Frank. It’s not on that page, but we’re getting intel from some surprising places.”



“Such as?”



“Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles. Pontiac, Michigan. Cleveland, Ohio. New Orleans. And from more expected places like Roseboro, Oregon; Mount Vernon, Illinois; and Charlottesville, Virginia. This tells us not all the missiles got through. Their defense shield held. I wonder how much was saved?”



“I assume you’ll talk to him about those FEMA camps being set up across the country?”, asked Rock. The VP referred to the temporary FEMA camps being set up for the so-far estimated seven million refugees from Earth-17



“I’m sure he’ll have questions about them.”



“Mr. President, you may want to reconsider the suggestion from the President of Earth-23—”



“I’d prefer not to use federal resources on that project and strongly believe the private sector will deliver better results,” Luthor said. Rock knew Luthor was referring to his LexCorp company, which was in fact in the final stages of taking over the camps from FEMA. Rock saw the plans four days ago, and was somewhat impressed with LexCorp’s plans to turn the camps into their own separate towns, or extentions of nearby cities and towns.



Of course, Luthor stood to benefit from LexCorp’s exclusive contract financially and in other ways. The President would likely face close scrutiny from both Congress and the media in the days to come, and Rock wondered if the public that supported Luthor would ask its own questions or go along with whatever Luthor said. “Before I gave up day-to-day leadership to my CEO, I was involved in the planning. It was a hell of a thing, Frank.”



“Setting up a livable community in months from nothing, you mean.”



“Hiding it from the alien and his costumed friends,” Luthor replied, with a hint of disgust, referring to his ‘former’ arch-enemy Superman, and the rest of the Justice League. “But yes, setting up communities as well. They’re cutting edge models and my peop—the LexCorp people have learned much about setting them up more quickly and thoroughly than this first generation. Imagine, if Yellowstone exploded – or one of Superman’s enemies destroyed half the country -- we can comfortably resettle the people in the other half in days!”



“That’s a bold vision, Mr. President.”



“And I have no doubt I’ll be able to allay Mr. Boehner’s concerns about his people,” Luthor said, looking at his LexTech smart watch. “Marine One should be here in five minutes. I want you in the Situation Room while I’m gone.”



Luthor got up, as two members of his Secret Service detail entered the Oval Office. They would escort Luthor to the Presidential VH-60N White Hawk helicopter designated Marine One that would take him the short trip to Andrews Air Force Base nearby in Maryland. Rock would go into the White House Situation Room below ground, monitoring news and intelligence on Luthor’s behalf.



“Good luck, Mr. President,” Rock said, as Luthor nodded his assent while leaving the Oval Office, walking the short distance to the South Lawn to await Marine One.

Yes, operating out of San Diego. If you remember the NCIS LA episode Kensi also mentioned two other similar teams. Here, they're White (operating out of Great Lakes near Chicago) and Blue (operating out of Mayport near Jacksonville). They're overseen by the Contingency Response Field Office which operates out of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia. 

If you look at the real-life NCIS website, you'll have a good idea of how NCIS is structured in-verse. The in-verse additions would be the Office of Special Projects, which has offices in Los Angeles (overseen by Assistant Director Shay Mosley) and Miami (overseen by Assistant Director Louis Ochoa).

The in-verse agency is headquartered at the Washington Navy Yard [1]. Besides the Washington field office, it also has several regional field offices, each responsible for its own subordinate offices:
Carolinas (Camp Lejeune, NC)
Far East (Yokosama, Japan)
Europe/Africa (Naples, Italy) -- the Rota, Spain office you may remember being referenced on the NCIS show is subordinate to this office
Hawaii (Pearl Harbor, Hawaii) -- referenced once in NCIS season 1 and never on the Hawaii Five-O reboot, but trust me, Five-O and NCIS know each other very well
Marine Corps West (Camp Pendleton, CA)
Middle East (Juffair, Bahrain)
Norfolk (Norfolk Naval Station, Norfolk, VA) -- the Washington team goes down here a lot on the TV show; in-verse, this is where three of Gibbs's agents were killed by Haswari in 2005.
Northeast (Newport, RI) -- the Great Lakes office near Chicago is subordinate to this office.[2] 
Northwest (Silverdale, WA)
Off-World (Armstrong Base, Luna) -- oversees subordinate offices at the U.S. joint military bases on Mars, Jupiter Station and Rann
Southeast Asia (Singapore)
Southeast (Mayport Naval Base, FL) -- NCIS New Orleans is subordinate to this office
Southwest (San Diego, CA)
Washngton (Navy Yard) -- Quantico and Pentagon field offices are subordinate to this office

Other divisions, such as Cyber Crimes/Cyber Operations; Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence; and REACT, operate out of the Washington Navy Yard field office.

The agency chain of command is as follows:

Director -- Maurice Drake (2013-present)

Deputy Director -- Dan Sanchez (2016-present) [3]

Assistant Directors

Office of Special Projects East (US East/Central time zones, Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, Africa) -- Louis Ochoa (2015-present)
Office of Special Projects West (US Pacific/Mountain time zones, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and American Samoa and other Pacific territories, Asia, Middle East) -- Shay Mosley (2017-present)
Criminal Operations
Cybercrimes/Cyber Operations
Global Operations
Atlantic Operations
Pacific Operations
Off world Operations
National Security
Intelligence/Information Sharing
Planning/Strategy

[1] In real life, NCIS is headquartered at the Russell-Knox Building at Marine Base Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia; in-verse, the Super Human Advanced Defense Executive (S.H.A.D.E., the military counterpart to the civilian Department of Extranormal Operations) has its main headquarters at the Russell-Knox Building alongside Army Criminal Investigations Division; the Defense Investigation Agency; the Defense Security Service; and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations.
[2] What's distinctive about the Great Lakes office are two things: 1) Marcus Stewart and Julie Todd were transferred to Gibbs from this office after Ari killed Kate, Tony and McGee 2) the agents are made up of individuals who, in another reality, are attached to the Chicago Police Department Intelligence unit
[3] Dan Sanchez has appeared on three episodes of NCIS: New Orleans to date

Just as well. CBS might have pulled the trigger after a season or two like it did with CSI Cyber and the Criminal Minds spinoff. We also may not have gotten NCIS New Orleans (too many spinoffs). 

I will say that the setup the Red team had inspired the vehicle that the Washington MCRT team flew around in when I wrote the NCIS META fanfic back in 2013.

Question does Amanda Waller life on Earth 1 and does Project Cadmus also exist in this universe.
