Summary:

A Wish made during a time of stress, leads to chaos and death

Notes:

I've been thinking about this fic a lot, and somehow got magical realism to it?
Like, there Abby is, telling Tony he's "wrong" for not being Gibbs and slapping him with a training sticker, and my first thought was, how dare she, after everything he's done for her, and Tony has enough, but instead of quietly leaving like here, in my head Tony goes off on Abby that she should lead the Team instead, and she answers that she's a technician, not an Agent, and Tony is "exactly!" and reminds her of Chip and how she didn't want him to interfere with her job either, and then - and here comes the magic - he undoes everything he's ever done for her/endured for her(or for the team), kinda, and leaves her with the consequences of that.
Like, only Tony and Abby know that things have changed and for everyone else nothing happened?
But, like, I also don't really know what the consequences of that would be. - 3littleEmoji (zeichnerinaga)

Undone

He remembers saying the words on that fateful day not that long ago. The day the one he had claimed as a second sister tagged him with the trainee sticker when he took over for their boss. His anger knew no bounds then as it was the last straw in a sucky month for him by that point and the words just poured out. 
“I wish everything I’ve ever done for you was never done!”
The janitor behind him calling out the words, “Wish Granted,” and the world changed forever on him as new memories came to him. 

Memories of her distrust of him, her disfavor when he had first been hired on. She never called to get him to pick her up one night while she was out because she hated him for taking over from Stan, who she liked as a brother. Gibbs was on a date with someone and didn’t answer her calls to pick her up. Her body was never found for three months in the mountains and Gibbs fell into the bottle after that. 

Tony’s own changes from Team Gibbs as he finally retired with cause, to Balboa’s team, and a new team backing down to the fibs on the Presidential case. The fibbs fucking it all up as they didn’t ask for help with understanding how the military worked. Leading to the President’s death. 
Oh, what a coup for terrorist actions THAT mess was, the fallout being still felt even after the intruder was dealt with by the actions of Balboa’s team. 
Politics still felt as the new Director STILL put Dav’id on his team for political reasons due to tensions in the Middle East. 
Her father’s willingness to impart information on events too good to pass up for such a little thing. Even her “accidentally” killing the 2iC who had been against her being on the team. 
She had claimed claustrophobia in the container. 

Now he stood before her again, Ric Balboa and most of the team was dead at her hands from her being tied to yet another bomber that took them out. His memories returned to him as she started to pull her weapon’s trigger. 
Reflex reaction had him pull first, killing her with the shot between the eyes, her used weapon dropped from her hands. His own chest hole blooming backwards as he fell as well. 

The last words he remembered hearing as he passed on, were the dreaded words, “Wish Granted.”
