Wearing Black and Feeling Blue (Departure)
Abby frequently wore black, but now she felt it had a purpose. Thought the place was stranger and the people frequently stranger, she'd made friends Here and she'd miss them. Happy at the thought of going home, she tried to focus on that as she retrieved her tomato plants from the greenhouse and entered the Lobby, intent on packing them with her other things before she returned home.

Home.

To her family and he 'adopted' family: Gibbs and Tony and Ducky and Ziva. Reaching her room, she safely stored the plants in a box, made sure Bart, her stuffed hippo, and her laptop, with all her information about Here, was secure in her shoulder bag and touched the cube. Moments later, she was back in her lab. Abby let out a squeal of delight. She was home. ~ END
