I don't own anything. Only Danny, Flack and Hawkes in my dreams!

Two hours later Lindsay and JJ got in the bar laughing hard. Lindsay led her to the table where all the other lab workers were already sitting down. When Flack saw them he stood up and run to hug JJ.
"Jamie!" He shouted passing his arms around her middle and lifting her from the floor. "I've missed you." He whispered in her ear.
"I've missed you too." She replied smiling.
"You look great, by the way." He said and kissed her cheek.
"Thanks, Blue. You don't look bad yourself, although I've already told you that I like you better with long sideburns." She replied touching the side of his cheek lightly, making both of them blush.
"Guys I want you to meet JJ!" Danny announced interrupting them. "JJ this is Mac, Stella, Adam and Hawkes. I guess that you can remember Flack because he is the one with his arms still around you." Danny said smiling widely
She blushed even more immediately but fortunately the local was quite dark and nobody could see it. Everybody greeted her and after ordering some drinks the conversation started again.
"I've hear Flack call you Jamie but Danny calls you JJ, what do you prefer?" Stella asked.
"Well, I'm more used to be called JJ, it's my name actually. But Blue likes to call me Jamie." She replied smiling.
"JJ then." She answered her smiling too. "So, I'm guessing you met Flack because Danny introduced you two, but how did you meet Danny? Were you some fling of his long time ago?" she gossiped.
"No... I was only 18 when we met and he was 28, 10 years was a huge age gap." She said blushing. She never looked at Danny as if this age difference existed but she knew he did it.
"So now you are 23, right?" Stella guessed and when JJ nodded she continued. "But Danny told us you were a Doctor. Are you another little genius as our ME here, Doctor Hawkes?" Stella asked impressed.
"Not exactly. I'm licensed in Veterinary Medicine. In some countries that means you are a Doctor in others not. I'm not a genius; I just ended my degree in the amount of time everybody is supposed to do it..." She shrugged modestly. "Danny just found a new nickname for me." After a short pause JJ continued her story "I met him because he dated my sister."
"You even met the family, Danny? That seems a quite serious relationship." Lindsay told him confused.
Before Danny could speak JJ continued. "Not exactly...When I started my college years I moved from California to New York where my old sister, Emma, was living. She was an art student then and the big apple was the best place in US to learn. I wanted to see more world than Santa Clara so when she offered me a room in his tiny apartment in Manhattan I couldn't refuse. One morning I woke up quite early to go to class and I found Danny, only in his boxers, in our kitchen looking for something to eat. After the initial shock I thought that he was probably another stupid guy my sister hit on in a bar. But that day we had breakfast together and we talked a lot. After living for several months with my sister LOTS of men slept in her room but he was the first guy I could really talk with. The other ones I've met were all jerks that tried to hit on me while my sister was still sleeping or weren't even able to speak in English. But Danny was different and if I have to tell the truth, he was the most handsome man Emma ever brought home." She said blushing again.
"So the first time you met him you were only 18 and he was standing naked in your kitchen?" JJ nodded laughing and Hawkes continued, "Man, poor innocent girl you were corrupting her from the very first day!"
"He didn't corrupt me at all!" JJ defended Danny. "The first week I lived with my sister I met one of her flings in our bathroom. He was completely naked and he liked to spend the day like that!" JJ said laughing and everybody joined her.
"And what happened next?" Mac asked after a soft nudge from Stella.
"I went out with her sister for about a month and every time I went to their apartment we had breakfast together and I drove her to the uni, and, well, we grew quite closer during that time..." Danny explained.
"But then my sister broke up with Danny. Well, she actually just stopped calling him or answering his calls, and one morning I woke up and in my kitchen there was a huge black guy with long hair and a quite scary expression." JJ paused for a moment to take a sip of her drink "After some months I came across Danny in the park while I was walking 'Bug', I apologised for my sister's attitude and he confessed me that he was about to broke up with her anyways but he didn't do it before-"
"Because of JJ." Danny interrupted her. Everyone looked at both of them, and JJ blushed again. "She was like a baby sister to me and I thought that breaking up with her sister would mean not seeing her again. She became family in only a month; I didn't want to lose her, and the truth is that with her sister being the way she was I was quite worried about her."
"Yeah, my sister wasn't the best influence. She has changed a lot since then." JJ added.
"You arrived from visiting her this morning, right?" Lindsay asked lighting the mood.
"Yep. She is living in Barcelona now. She is writing her thesis, at the same time working in an art gallery, and she's been going out with the same guy for the last 10 months, that's a record for her!" JJ explained proudly.
"I'm glad she is doing fine" Danny said kindly.
"Yes, me too. I was beginning to be sick of being the responsible and grown up sister when I am 6 years younger than her!" JJ said smiling
"So what are you doing here back in NY, Jamie?" Flack spoke for the first time. "Not that I'm complaining, I'm more than happy to have you here!" He passed his arm around her shoulders and hugged her.
"If I have to be honest, I don't know. I couldn't go back to California with my parents, they bought a mobile home and they are travelling around the state and I couldn't stay with my sister in Spain, she has no place for me and Bug, and although it's a great place I missed this."She looked at Flack and Danny and then continued. "So here I am! Without a job or a place to live, alone in that huge city!"
"First of all, you are not alone, you have us, you can count on Danny and me and I'm sure that in a very little time the rest of the team would be your friends too," She tried to complain but Flack didn't let her. "Second, you and Bug can always camp in my apartment and about the job..."
"I have an idea." Mac said interrupting them.
