Hey! Sorry for the slow update, I was away! I just realized I forgot to mention why the House segment is a tad A/U. As House fans know, he was sent to the "Crazy Facility" (as my friends would call it) at the end of S5. Obviously, he is not at the Crazy Facility. Just thought I should clear that up!

For anyone who cares, I will add story statuses to my profile regularly, so my readers will know what is going on with my stories!

The next chapter will have a "House theory", if anyone cares :P

Also, I got an overwhelming amount of people tell me they want to eat a waffle, so this chapter is dedicated to fellow waffle-lovers like myself!

Disclaimer: I do not own House or The Mentalist. There. I said it. Buh-bye!

"We're going to have to question someone, House." Foreman stated as they walked down the hallway. "Teresa almost suffocated, it's about time we know exactly what happened."

House stopped in his tracks. "Nah," He then continued walking, but the other way. He was hoping to get away from his employees, but instead ran into his boss, Cuddy.

"House," She held out a hand to stop him from going any further. "You're avoiding our patient."

"Not our patient," He shook his head. "It's the patient's boyfriend that's gotten me all… frazzled."

Cuddy was not amused. After all, it was about treating the patients, not avoiding said patients so-called boyfriends. "Listen to me, House. If you don't get your ass into the room this very instant, you will be on full-on clinic duty for a month. How's that for 'frazzled'?"

House shoved her aside with his cane and grudgingly walked towards the patient's room, only to be stopped by an Asian man.

"Move." He gestured the man away with his hand, but the man was making it clear he wasn't going to move.

"I'm Agent Cho. I work for Teresa Lisbon." He said, no hint of emotion behind his voice.

House was annoyed. "Good to know, sir. I will now stand on the balcony and tell the world. Besides, I don't even work here."

Another man, more built and taller than Cho, decided it was time to cut in. "But… I saw you. You were with all of those other doctors."

House rolled his eyes. "Yes, you caught me. I'm Dr. House, insert formalities here, blah blah blah. Goodbye." He went to leave, but a voice stopped him.

"You know, you would get along well with Patrick Jane. Have you met him yet?" Rigsby announced suddenly.

House walked away, avoiding the question. It seemed to him that Lisbon's team wasn't getting on his good side.

Not that he had a good side.

------------------------------------------

"You okay?" Jane asked Lisbon suddenly.

Lisbon sighed. "Yes, Jane. I'm fine. Now, stop asking me that every five minutes. My answer is not going to change."

Jane ignored this and continued to ask her every few minutes. To Lisbon, it was kind of sweet. Who knew he cared about her this much? She immediately dismissed the thought.

Her head started to hurt again, but this time with more force. She leaned over and grasped her head, hoping the pain would go away, but it only got worse. It was worse than any migraine she had ever had.

"Woah," He put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her, but she didn't seem to notice it at all. "Head hurts?" He asked her, even though he already knew the answer. She had complained every once in a while about it.,

"Mm-hm." She sat up again, and Jane took his hand off of her. "It's just from the wall thing. Can you believe it was only last night?"

"Nope." He said matter-of-factly. It was out of character of him to be so blunt and to-the-point.

Lisbon glanced over at him worriedly. "Is everything okay?" She asked him.

"Actually, no." He shifted his weight in his chair so he was directed more at her. "Why can't we just be done here? House is getting on my nerves. He's not bothering to even try treating you. He just sits around, watching you in pain. I don't think he's much of a doctor."

During his little speech, Jane failed to notice the figure standing in the doorway. "I have my doubts, too." House walked into the room. "Actually, I told a few of your colleagues I didn't work here. Then Mr. Wannabe Body Builder caught me in my little lie. You know what he said? He said I would get along well with you!" Jane and Lisbon glared at House. "You know what they say: More brawn," He used his arm to show his muscles. "Less brain." His voice creeped into a stage whisper at that point.

Lisbon straightened up as much as she could with her broken leg. "Did you just insult Agent Rigsby?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I believe I did." House nodded as he walked into the room.

"I don't think you understand what you just did, Mr. House. You criticized a police officer." Lisbon stated a little more firmly, as if it wasn't obvious what House had done.

House changed the subject quickly, finding no use in arguing with a petite police officer. "I need to talk to your friend." He motioned towards Patrick to get out into the hallway. Patrick obeyed with a mock salute, gaining him an amused look from Lisbon.

Once they were outside with the room door closed, Jane sat on the bench, making himself comfortable. "Go ahead, doctor." He gestured for House to start talking.

"Patrick, I need to ask you a few questions about what happened yesterday. Under mandatory standards only, of course." Jane nodded in agreement. "Did you notice any strange behavior from her before she passed out?"

Jane ignored the question. "I feel like I'm supposed to be the one doing the questioning, don't you? I mean, I'm with the police and…"

"Shut up!" House yelled. "If I don't get an answer then I am on clinic duty for a month."

"Fine, then. Lisbon was a little dazed and was complaining about a headache. She didn't eat, but I presume you have taken that off of your whiteboard as well. Other than that, not really."

House pondered over this for a second. Before he could say anything more, Jane said it for him.

"But she does have odd symptoms here, which is what you're trying to piece together." Jane smiled hugely.

"And you're an ass." House stalked off towards the meeting room, feeling no closer to the answer then he did when Teresa first came in.

Hope you liked it! I will be sure to update ASAP…which can mean a lot of different things for me!
