Continuing "Next Generation"

"You'll meet him soon" Rod smiled

"Sounds good to me," Kate shrugged.

The gang soon reached the Hyperion as Ziva tapped in the code and they all got inside before retreating into the main room. They sat down in their chairs and buckled up as Ziva and Tony sat together, with Kate on Tony's right. Gibbs sat behind them with Jimmy and Ducky on either side of him and Abby and McGee behind him too.

Lebani then yawned deeply as he snuggled into his mother's paws and Kovu kissed Kiara tenderly on the nose and she giggled. Vitani then lounged about lazily with tired eyes as she waited for take-off. "I think I need a cat nap," she muttered.

RL Rod then suddenly collapsed

"Rod!" Faye gasped as she, Vitani, Alexis, Jewel, Terry and Kimberly rushed over to RL Rod and helped him up as Travis dashed over with the terrazine nitric acid mix in his mouth. "Here, drink this," Terry whispered as she took it from her brother before she opened his mouth and forced it down his throat.

(So you think of me as scum now? -_- Because if you do, I'm fine with it. I'm better off dead)

(Why you suddenly think that? I'll NEVER EVER think that about you!)

RL Rod suddenly rgained consciousness, but his wound wasn't cured at all

(Because you're complaining that nobody cares about you! You probably think everyone, including me, is only using you for their own purposes!)

"What's the matter with this thing? I thought it was supposed to fix him!" Travis growled as he dangled the potion in his paws.

"I hope we get back home as soon as possible; I think RL Rod's wounds are serious," Kimberly informed the others as they all nodded.

"So you were a Mossad agent, right?" Kate mused as she leaned over to speak with Ziva.

"Yes - I was," Ziva answered with a short pause as she jerked her head towards her.

Kate nodded. "And you have been with NCIS for a while?"

"Yes," Ziva nodded as Kate slumped down in her seat with a sigh. "I'd hate to take your job away from you; you were the one that replaced me after all. I probably don't belong there anyway."

"You could always get a job with the CIA or FBI. They brought you back to life, yes?" Ziva retorted briskly as Kate bit her lower lip in thought. "I suppose. Now the one thing I'm worried about is how my sister would react to me coming back here on this Earth. She would be surprised."

"I'm sure she would be happy to see you; I think she missed you a lot. Your death hit her hardest," the slender-built Israeli woman replied.

"Maybe you can rejoin our team. I'll talk to Vance and see what he thinks," Gibbs offered from behind them.

"Thanks, Gibbs," Kate smiled and Tony chuckled with a smile. "Nice to see you again, Kate."

"You too, Tony."

"And by the way, we also have a new member of the team too. Ned Dorneget. Very earnest and eager to please, but he's goofy and a bit clumsy,: McGee chimed in as Kate giggled slightly at his description.

(I say that for ever Argentinian non-friend that i had! And i wanted to inform everyone in DeviantArt so they could know how shitty Argentine people are, i am not speaking about you, Michi, i swear!)

"Weird" RL Rod grimaced at his wound

(Oh)

"Who's driving by the way?" Jewel quipped as she whipped over to face the cockpit.

"I would suspect it would be Rod," Kovu answered.


-----

"Michael, are you all right?" Mona frowned as she and Michael were sitting in bed together.

-----

"I'm so sorry about what happened with the hyenas, Sasha," Lee sighed as she and Sasha were walking back to hers, Rod's and Rhonda's room.

(Well, almost)

"Duh!" Rod yelled with a laugh from the cockpit

"Michelle's not gonna like this" Rod shook his head while looking at his wound

-

"Yeah" Michael smiled "But the one's who could not be alright would be that Rod from the other universe" he laughed sardonically

-

"It's okay" Sasha laughd "The best part was when i saw that poor imitation of Rod fighting those hyena guys, that was hilarious"

(So you are speaking about me. I knew it -_-)

"Yeah, but she's going to hate it even more when you are on death's door," Alexis scoffed with an eye roll.

------

"I think he handled himself very well, for a mere human," Mona smiled.

-----

"I better check on that experiment containment that Jumba gave to me, to make sure that it hasn't been tamped with," Lee sighed as they entered the room and she noticed the experiment containment unit lying on the ground slightly open, with a couple of experiment pods lying around.

"Oh no!" she cried as she bent over to pick up the remaining pods and counted them slowly. She then entered them into the machine and entered the code to activate it. The machine whirled to life as it scanned the number of experiments. "Number of experiments: 4."

"4? But I thought there were 799!" Lee growled as she examined the experiments from the database. "My God; someone must have stolen the rest while we were out."

(NO! I am speaking of Slushy! He promised me that today we'll play, but as you can see, he didn't even bothered in logging on! Don't be pessimistic, for god's sake!)

"Ah, don't worry, i am fluffy" RL Rod chuckled
-

"Ah, he is a puny imitation of your grandpa" Michael scoffed

-

"Who could be the assshole who did that?" Sasha shrugged

"You're not fluffy! You're a fucking human!" Alexis snarled viciously at RL Rod.

-----

"I think the danger has passed now and Momma has sent the members to their rooms," Mona mused.

-----

"I'm not sure; maybe Chelsea knows about it," Lee shrugged.

"Hey, Momma; how are you?" Meryl smiled as she walked in to see Lee and Sasha.

"Fine, but the experiment containment unit's not; someone has stolen all but 4 of the experiment pods," Lee explained quickly to her daughter.

"That's terrible; we have to tell Jumba!" Meryl gasped in horror.

(I'll never be mad at you, Michi, ijust had a rought day today)

"And your a fucking asshole, but no one's perfect!" RL Rod snarled back

-

"Yeah" Michael nodded

"I know that, asshole! You poor excuse for a human!" Alexis exploded.

------

"I hope the 700 series are okay too," Mona sighed.

------

"I know we have to tell Jumba!" Lee snapped as she handed the four experiment pods to her while making her clutch them in her hands. "Keep these safe and make sure they do not get activated," she instructed her gently as she nodded. "Okay."

"No use to talk with you, your just a stupid jackass who insults everyone" Rl Rod rolled his eyes as he turned away from him in disgust

-

"They will be" Michael smiled

-

"Who could steal those pods?" Sasha asked "I imagine Rodney would know, he knew abotu those hyenas after all"

(I already gave some of the 700 series their numbers and names already; when you are going to introduce Reuben's girlfriend, let me know)

"Shut up, Alexis; you're making it worse than it has to be," Jewel scolded her sister sternly.

"Yeah; let's not bother him anymore; we have to let him rest," Terry concurred as she turned to walk away.

------

"Why did you run away from those hyenas?" Mona inquired curiously at her lover.

----

"I don't think it would be the hyenas, but if they were, I'd be surprised," Lee mused as she turned to rip off a shear from the wall and examined. "Hmmm... interesting," she mused while analyzing it carefully.

"I wonder if SMF Jumba has created any new experiments?" Meryl asked her mother.

"He'll let us know if he had created any," Lee answered her daughter pithily as her eyes flew open in surprise. "Wait! I almost forgot! My own experiment containment unit!" she cried as she dashed for the closet.

"Huh?" Meryl mumbled as Lee hauled out another identical-looking experiment containment unit and placed it in front of her before she activated it with a tap on the button.

"Activating experiment containment unit. Select experiment," a female computer voice hummed as a diagram of an experiment showed up.

"After so many years of hard work, I have managed to create several of my own aside from Lettie," Lee beamed proudly as she scanned for an experiment to activate.

(Fine)

"IT damn hurts" RL Rod grimaced

-

"I did not run away" Michael sighed

-

"Arrogant" Sasha chuckled while rolling her eyes

(The experiments won't be activated for a long while anyway; do you still want to do Reuben's girlfriend?)

"We'll get there soon, Rod; don't worry," Travis smiled kindly.

-----

"But you dashed out of the room with me; that's running away," Mona frowned.

-----

"It's true," Lee chuckled as she pressed the screen and a diagram of a particular experiment showed up. "Experiment selected."

A dark blue-grey experiment pod then emerged from the machine as Lee grabbed it and held it in her hand before putting it in her pocket. She then carried the machine back into the closet and closed the door before locking it.

(If you want, it's YOUR Reuben, nto mine)

"I hope so" RL Rod flinched

-

"Sorry, i am cowar sometimes" Michael sighed

-

"I know" Sasha snickered

(Okay)

"It will be okay," Kimberly smiled sweetly.

-----

"It's okay; I still think you're very brave," Mona smirked as she nuzzled him tenderly.

-----

"If you guys are going to fool around, I'm leaving. I've got some business to catch up too," Meryl retorted crisply as she stormed out of the room.

"So what do you think of my experiments?" Lee smirked at Sasha sweetly.

(Damn, Slushy betrayed me... again)

"I hope so" RL Rod sighed

-

"Thanks for understanding" Michael smirked

-

"They are good so far" Sasha chuckled

(I hope you don't etray me too :S)

(What did he do this time?)

The Hyperion then landed in front of the Petrie house as the gang ushered RL Rod out of the spaceship before bursting into the house. Gibbs then surveyed the front living room before turning to Rod. "Where can we find a doctor?" he asked him.

-----

"You were brave enough to fall in love with me even though your sister would have killed you," Mona blushed.

-----

"So what would you like to eat? We have yogurt, ice cream, club sandwiches, turkey breast, pork, alien foodstuff and all kinds of stuff," Lee offered as she led Sasha into the kitchen.

(Didn' you read my other reply? He promised to me that today we'll play a game, but he didn't even cared to log in )

"We have no doctors in here" Rod replied

-

"Thanks" Michael blushed as he suddenly kissed her

-

"I am not hungry" Sasha grumbled

(Yeah; I just thought you meant that he betrayed you a second time today)

"I think I can help," Ducky chimed in as he walked over to Rod. "If you know where the laboratory is, I think I might be able to help Mr. Damiani here."

"Is my husband okay?" Michelle yelled as she, Doug, Julie, Marion, Jordan, Jack and Maggie rushed over to the gang and she screamed upon seeing RL Rod's wound. "What the fuck happened to him?!"

-----

Mona then kissed him back while nipping him on the nose.

----

"Well, I am; I want some foodstuff," Lee mused as she dug into the refrigerator and took out a plastic box of foodstuff. She then placed them on the table before opening them up and biting on one of them.

(Not precisely today, but it is the THIRD time in the year that he betrays me)

"Just a deep wound, nothing else" RL Rod laughed

-

Michael then smirked as he got on top of her and began to kiss her neck

-

"Yo ueat that?" Sasha giggled
