Tony doesn't become team leader overnight. First, they have all have to watch movies, develop new neuroses, and make flowcharts. It's set during the season 3/4 hiatus, when Gibbs has gone off to Mexico to grow a moustache and forget about NCIS. Tony is in charge. And it's just the most lovely, charming, funny, sort-of-sad in-character fic ever.
He only tries Agent Lee once. “Snakes on a Plane?”
“Is it required?”
He blinks at her. “Is it required?”
“Required viewing. It is about a terrorist attack, isn’t it?”
“It’s about snakes on a plane,” Tony says.
Michelle Lee wrinkles her nose. “I don’t really like snakes, sir.”
“But,” Tony says, “they’re on a plane.”
She doesn’t get it.

Abby, who is tallying up the number of times they have all been injured in an effort to reassure herself that they are very durable people, says, “Tony, you can either destroy your quirks or you can embrace them.”
“Thank you,” Tony says. “Oh, and McGee just gave himself a paper cut, if you want to factor that in.”
She gives it one-quarter tally mark.

“You have five seconds to show me what you were drawing on the back of the take-out menu,” Tony says. “McGee, if this is another one of those things where you’re trying to figure out how many people have to die for you to become director, you will be coming with me on the plane to the conference, and you will be shoved out of an airlock somewhere over the Atlantic.”

“It’s like that movie,” Ziva says proudly.
“Which movie?”
She deflates. “We didn’t actually - - we were just sure you’d know one.”
