Spencer grinned. He had learned much. He had just trounced California math genius, Charlie Eppes, at chess for the third game. He had used some of the unexpected moves learned from Adam, some of the flashiness from William, some of the friendliness from Jarod, some of the empathy from JJ and even some of the bitter words from House. He didn't realize until later that he had exhibited the same aura as O'Neill to be underestimated.
He had learned to think outside the box. Thankfully, Charlie was mostly a good sport and Spencer hadn't absorbed any unsportsmanlike conduct from Adam.
