A/N: Chapter two! I would like to thank 554Laura for leaving the first not anonymous review. Also thanks to the people who put my story on alert. It was more than I expected :). To answer anonymous reviewer: this story is set in season 6 after Booth and Hannah broke up. We'll get to that soon enough in the story. Please enjoy this next chapter!

Previously that same day, Jeffersonian:

It wasn't often that dr. Soroyan was surprised by dr. Brennan's abilities, but it had stunned the coroner that Brennan hadn't tried to bite Lilly's head of when Booth had introduced the intern. Her curiosity got the best of her. "Dr. Brennan, I have to say I was very surprised with you welcoming miss Johnson to the team."

Bones, bent over the body to examine a partly in flesh covered bone, glanced up to her superior. "Why? Was I rude?" Worry clearly visible on Bones' face as she moved around the table to get a better look.

"No, actually the exact opposite, I had expected you would have some issues with her level of education." Amongst other things, Cam added in her mind.

"Well I figured Booth likes her and he seemed to be happy that there would be an intern that would be interested in how paramount his part of the job is to catching and jailing killers. He has been germing me about ms Johnson's arrival for some weeks." Cam smiled at the incorrect use of a colloquial term, but as usual she wasn't going to correct the good doctor when she knew what she was trying to say; that was Booth's job.

"Aside from that, I think miss Johnson seemed very interested in the science as well as the concerned aspects of the legal system. Now, of course, I only have limited knowledge of the criminal proceedings, but I think miss Johnson seemed very capable. In a way she kind of reminds me of Booth", Bones added before addressing Cam's praise. "I would have thought you would be pleased that I tried to make miss Johnson feel welcome at the lab. I thought the accepting of a new member into the group was a crucial part of introductions. Especially when that welcoming comes from one of the highest ranking members of the assembly." Bones looked at her superior with a frown.

Ah, there was the zinger that Cam had expected earlier. "I am happy and impressed you welcomed her, yes." Cam smiled as she tried to decide if dr. Brennan had just insulted or complimented Booth and miss Johnson.

The next morning:

Cam spotted Lilly as she walked into the lab. "Oh miss Johnson I got something for you." Cam gestured Lilly to follow her back to her office. On the edge of Cam's well organized desk laid a white lab coat and a security card to get onto the forensic platform. Cam gently lifted the stack. "This is for you, your own personalized security card and a lab coat for when you're close to the bodies." Cam smiled politely. "I also ordered you a jumpsuit, for when you are out with us in the field. I am sure it won't happen daily, but just in case. Now if someone takes you into the field before your jumpsuit arrives you can just act like Booth, stay away from the evidence and look all grossed out. I'll have it placed in your locker when it gets in."

Lilly smiled at the description of Booth in the field. "I'll try to remember that for when agent Booth isn't around. And thank you for the lab coat and security card, this is very kind."

"No problem, we are all glad to have you here. If you run into any problems or have any questions, don't hesitate to come and fine me."

Lilly nodded, "I will, thanks dr. Soroyan."

"Now, let me point you in the direction of Angela's office."

"Miss Montenegro?" Lilly stood in between the doorpost, holding onto it to see if the forensic artist was in her office.

"Yes, that is me. Come in, you must be Lilly Johnson. My husband, dr. Hodgins, told me you were coming in today." Angela said kindly from behind her desk, waiving for Lilly to come in. Angela got up and after the introductory handshake they decided on first name bases.

Lilly looked around in the office. Angela's office was more cozy than the other offices she had noticed in the facility. Lilly let her eyes wonder around the office, landing on the photos on the artist's desk. A photo of a smiling baby Micheal Vincent caught Lilly's eye. "Awh, this must be Micheal, he is adorable."

Angela nodded happily as only a new mom could. "Yes, he is a little over two months now. That is also the reason why I wasn't here yesterday to meet you like the rest of the team." Angela sounded apologetic.

Lilly nodded in understanding, quickly waving away the artist's concern. "Don't mention it, it was kind of a spur of the moment thing. Agent Booth had to be here after lunch so he swung me by for the introductions." Turning back to the picture Lilly added "I can imagine it is much more fun to be with the little guy."

Angela smiled, "It is, I could just watch him all day. It was so hard to leave him this morning. I really want to smuggle him into the lab again, but I can't risk Cam busting me or Jack again."

Lilly smiled. "No doubt. I've seen new parents struggle to leave their children with caregivers before when I was an au pair in Europe. Just remember: as long as you have a constant village for your kid he will be fine."

Angela nodded still hypnotized by the image of her newborn. "Thank you for saying that. And an au pair huh?" Angela glanced up back at Lilly sounding curious. Lilly raised her shoulders, shrugging as it was no big deal. "Yes, I studied abroad for a year and working as an au pair was a nice combination of work and study."

"So you lived with one family for that whole year?"

"No I didn't, I was actually hired as a substitute. So when an au pair took a couple of weeks off, the agency would send me. In the first three months I lived with eight different families. Then I was send to a family for the rest of my stay. Their previous au pair left and the agency couldn't find a suitable replacement for months. So If you would like me to baby sit for you and dr. Hodgins sometime, all you have to do is ask. It wouldn't be a problem at all."

Angela smiled. "Thank you, that is very generous of you. I'll keep it in mind."

"So how much do you know about forensic computer science?"

"Nothing, really", Lilly admitted. "I am not that into computers, so other than a few terms I am a still a blank slate." Angela nodded. "That is what I used to think too, I took computer sciences as a minor just in case I couldn't make ends meet as an artist and now I use this part of my education almost daily and the art is turning more and more into an hobby."

Lilly turned around and pointed to the paintings she spotted earlier. "These are all painted by you?"

Angela nodded. "Sometimes the work gets to me and I just need to create something that isn't bloody and gross." "I know this is only your first couple of weeks around murder and despair. If it ever grows above your head, come and find me and we'll do something a bit less emotionally charged."

"Thank you, I appreciate that." Lilly said, touched by the big heart the artist obviously had.

Angela smiled, "well, us not scientist have to stick together."

"So how did you end up in the Jeffersonian? Needed to pay the bills after all?", referencing to Angela's earlier comment. Angela looked amused. "That sure was part of it", she answered with a chuckle. "But no, it actually was Brennan who convinced me to help her with a case. There was a victim that needed a face, as fingerprints and DNA weren't enough to ID her. So because of my drawing skills Brennan asked me to do it. I didn't plan to stay longer than a couple of cases as I wanted to move to Paris and see all the art there, but then after a while I got involved with Hodgins and it became a lot harder to leave everything behind and move across the world on my own."

"I can imagine", Lilly said. "This is only my second day here and I feel incredibly welcome. Everybody is so kind and helpful. Did you ever make it to Paris after all?" Lilly asked, loving to hear more about Angela's experiences. "Yes, Hodgins and I did, we moved there last year planning to stay for a year but Caroline had a case that needed the whole team back. So after seven months we all came back."

"All came back?" Lilly echoed.

Angela nodded. "Yes, Booth and Brennan also took a year of, Brennan went to Indonesia and Booth rejoined the army for a secret special assignment. Sweets went on a sabbatical to play piano."

"Ohh I think I read about dr. Brennan's trip there somewhere", Lilly said, trying to remember where she read that. " What did you think of Paris? Did you still get to see most of the places you planned to visit?"

Angela's eyes started sparkling at Lilly's interest in her favorite city in the world. "Yes, those months were like the best vacation I ever took. We obviously went and saw the Mona Lisa, we visited Centre Pompidou and at least 20 art galleries and we did all the other tourist stuff in Paris you are obligated to do when you cross the ocean." Angela added with a smirk.

Lilly smiled. "Naturally, so clearly you've seen the Eifel Towel, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Concorde and not to forget Disneyland."

"Ah so you went to Paris as well?"

Lilly nodded. "Yes, like you said, when you cross the ocean and stay for a year in Europe you can't skip visiting Paris and its hotspots right?" Angela's face lit up in enthusiasm for talking to a kindred spirit. "What did you like best?"

"Well I am not that into art as you are, so I'd have to say the vibe, language and the food."

Angela let a moan escape, remembering all the classy and not so classy establishments she and Hodgins tried out. "Don't get me started on the food. We went to this little restaurant and everything was so good we kept coming back until we had tried every dish on the menu."

Lilly chuckled. "Did you have snails?"

"God no, we left here so I didn't have to see insects. Not even to mention eating them", Angela pulled up her nose in disgust before she rolled her eyes at her next thought. "Besides, Jack probably would have started crying if I did order them, as he treats his creepy crawlies like they're puppies." Lilly laughed at the disgusted look .

Feeling the subject needed to be changed, Angela pointed to Lilly like something came to mind. "Do you speak French? Your pronunciation of the top tourist things was pretty good."

"Why thank you", Lilly said with a shrug of one shoulder to playfully accept the compliment. "I took French classes for a couple of years in high school. The fact that I didn't yet forget most of it is thanks to the au pair thing. A lot of kids had French tutors and needed me to practice their vocab with them. But I guess no one really does to need to learn French anymore. In Paris, everyone speaks English now", Lilly said. "It is kind of a waste because now even less people will feel the need to learn French. It is such a beautiful language."

Angela hummed her agreement. "Yeah I noticed that too, when we were over there. Although a lot of artists are extremely nationalistic, so to talk to them, speaking their native tongue comes in very handy. Hodgins was glad that a lot of people spoke English though. I guess you could say his tutors didn't help him much in remembering the language. Angela chuckled as she remembered an incident when she had left Hodgins to go grocery shopping in one of the less touristic quarters.

Before Angela had the opportunity to tell Lilly about it, the two women were interrupted by Cam knocking on the door and walking in. "So how are things going here?" Cam asked.

"Good", Angela said. "We are just getting to know each other while the algorithm is sifting through the databases. Did you know that Lilly here was an au pair in Europe for a year?"

Cam looked surprised into Lilly's direction. "Really? I didn't see that on your resume, did I read over it?"

"I don't think so, I think I didn't put it on there as I didn't think being an au pair would matter for this position. My year abroad is on my resume though." Cam nodded. "I understand and your resume was more than impressive enough without it. Did I miss any more new information?"

"Well not that I know of", Angela said. "We were discussing visiting Paris and speaking French just before you came in."

"Do you speak French?" Lilly asked Cam, curious about the pathologist she had only seen twice before. "No", the coroner shook her head feverishly. "I am not that talented in learning languages. I learned bits and pieces of Spanish because that was necessary when I worked near the Mexican border, but that was more than hard enough. I am thankful most countries speak or at least understand English these days."

"Well, if you ever want to learn another roman language, I'm sure your knowledge of Latin will be an advantage." Lilly responded. Cam smiled. "I am sure it would, but like I said I don't do well at learning languages, that is probably one of the reasons I went to med school."

The friendly conversation was cut short by a call for Cam. Cam left Angela's office after reminding the artist again that she needed to know if the results of the digital hunt for an ID came in.

"Am I keeping you from your work?" Lilly was starting to feel guilty about taking the artists time, however interesting and enjoyable it was to just get to know one of the team members. "Oh no, don't worry about it", Angela said, waiving away the question. "Most of the time I am not that busy solving murders. I spend most of my time developing new forensic computer programs or improving existing programs. Like in this case; I actually developed the program to create facial reconstructions. After I put in a scan of the skull and the details like age and race, the computer creates the image. The only time I am super busy with a case is when there is a digital footprint or when I need to decode encrypted files."

"Oh wow that is pretty impressive", Lilly responded. "So you don't have to create a face by hand anymore?"

"Not usually, no. It takes too much time and the materials needed are really expensive. In some rare cases I do need to create the face by hand, because the skull is incomplete or the victim had a lot of plastic surgery. I do know there is a team that works for the program Unsolved Mysteries that makes facial reconstructions, because a reconstructed face in 3D apparently is more recognizable to the public than a picture."

Angela and Lilly spend the rest of the day together in the office of the artist. Discussing all sorts of subjects. From where Lilly had grown up to how Lilly had experienced her first week of the internship being exclusively at the justice department. Lilly had wanted to know how Angela and Hodgins had met each other and if it had been love at first sight. It felt like they had known each other for years instead of mere hours.

Angela was quite smitten with the newest team member. Finally someone who she could drag away from work for a Friday night out. (Okay if Hodgins would stay at home or if they would have a baby sitter for Micheal Vincent.) When Hodgins had come home last night he had been dead wrong about Lilly. Just because she wore a suit, didn't make her part of a conspiracy. Lilly had already proved being skillful when she helped working through some documentation on a encrypted disk Booth had brought by. Angela had noticed how Lilly had eased her mind about being absent in the middle of the week. As planned Angela wouldn't be working full time until Michael was six months. Being surrounded by career driven people she had already gotten more than her fare share of odd looks or barely disguised insults for that decision. She was glad the new intern seemed to understand their decision.
