"Tony didn’t have to look to feel the superiority McGee exuded. It had been there for days, weeks, maybe even months. The little itty bitty probie had grown up, grown a spine – and the arrogant attitude had been part of the package." - Me, I totally LOVED the Tim-with-attitude.
"What the ** had Tony done to deserve that kind of treatment?" - Forgot about the literally bazillion spitballs Tim has had to endure over the last five years, DiNozzo? Do the words "superglue" and "keyboard" not even ring ANY frigging bells?

This was just right! thanks--

Yay that was brilliant! x

Enjoyed this story. Thanks!

Aw cute!

Really good story. I didn't realize how much McGee's attitude bothered me til I read this and got angry for Tony's sake. This was perfectly in character and was a much needed discussion between them--wish they'd show more of these type scenes on the show.

Wo loved it, this is just what the boys need to do :) great tag :)

:) I like :). Good fic. Tony & McGee definately had some talking (or punching as your fic, probably quite accurately, showed) to do after Bounce. Gotta wonder what Gibbs' reaction would be the next day though - hmm, though he'd probably just raise an eyebrow (if that) & not say anything!
Thanks for the read!

well done

This fit, this worked, this was very needed. Thanks for keeping it real and right for the boys.

Nicely done.

That was very well written...I could picture the two of them as I was reading...the fact that they fought it out (for a little bit) was something that was very welcome...Tony is my favorite, and it was just very cool to see McGee take action. Well done!

Really, really good study of the boys.

REALLY GOOD!

This was a very sweet story. I really enjoyed the conversation between the two about McGee's lack of respect for Tony as team leader. It p uzzled me why the writers would add that to the show ... since Tony had been leader during Gibbs' hiatus. Thank you for an entertaining missing scene.

This was great I hope there will be more to it, I mean seeing them at work. I believe this was a one shot. I loved the drinking , punching and then the honest talking. And thank you, I've been saying it all along that Ziva and McGee were both on the team at the time, even though it's the team leader who makes the choice. McGee could have seen the dummied up finacial records...plus even if it's the team leader who takes the blame, being they were on the team and it was the first case without Gibbs and Tony was still feeling things out and getting the team back together , give the guy a break..lol...So thank you for saying what I've been thinking since Bounce.
And YES The Raft I've been following and love it so much. Can't wait. Sue

I loved the way you addressed this, hope TPTB do something similar. Thank you, VP.
