DISCLAIMER: I do not own House, wish I did, but I don't!

AN: I am trying to keep up with the episodes that appear on FOX, so in light of new info from new episodes I am trying my best to use it in the story. Not the full episode mind you but the info from House's past. So I will try to keep the story as parallel to House on the show as I can.

I am so sorry for the late update, midterms have been literally kicking my ass.

Also thank you to my lovely reviewer: Sinictra. I appreciate the feedback.

Please review so I know whether or not I am doing well and should continue on with the story.

Chapter 3

House wasn't exactly sure where to begin. He knew whatever he did or said his sister would, inevitably, insult and infuriate his staff. He couldn't say anything about that of course because he did it daily, but there was a difference; if anyone was going to abuse his staff it would be him and no one else. He only wished he had made that clear to his darling sister before hand. He figured it would be better to introduce her to the least threatening of the trio first.

"Foreman," House said in a fake, cheery voice that Foreman saw right through, "this is Victoria….my sister."

The ducklings couldn't help but let their mouths hang open in shock. House had a sister? Since when?

"You better be careful flies could end up in there," House smiled. He loved giving shocking information.

All at once their mouths slammed closed. A million and one questions racing through their minds, unfortunately, they were not able to ask any of them.

"Very nice to meet you Foreman."

Now it was House's turn to let his mouth hang open, had she just been nice? Willingly? He noticed she was about to speak again, 'Oh Lord here we go, just let me get out alive.'

"I hear you have a criminal record, very nice, studying during the day and pilfering at night, or was it the other way around?"

Foreman raised his eyebrows, 'Definitely House's sister' he thought. Before any more damage could be done, House moved on to the next victim…er…doctor.

"Chase this is Victoria, Victoria this is Dr. Chase."

"Hello," Chase managed to say in his noticeable Australian accent.

"Wow, he's pretty," Victoria couldn't help but comment aloud, "did his resume come with a head shot?"

"Hey, now wait just a minute-" Chase tried to interject, but was cut off by House.

"Moving on, this is-", this time House was interrupted by Cameron.

"Dr. Allison Cameron, nice to meet you, I am sure you have some things you would like to criticize about me as well."

"Ooh feisty," Victoria said glancing at House. "I was going to hold my tongue but since you invited the criticism: you are too thin, your hair is flat, your naïveté and innocence is radiating off of you, making me gag, and you seem to be adamant on telling me off. You are my favorite by far, yes, I am going to love torturing you."

House tried to hide his smile, while Chase and Foreman were trying to decide whether to be shocked or laugh out loud, laughing was winning, and Cameron eyes widened to twice their normal size, and another member of the House clan managed to make her speechless. While everyone was trying, and failing miserably to compose themselves, Victoria continued.

"Well it was very nice meeting you all but-" Dr. James Wilson walked in the room confused at the state the other doctors were in. He then noticed Victoria 'Oh that would explain it' he thought. Victoria then did the unthinkable, she squealed and ran to Wilson giving him a hug, like she hadn't seen him in ages, and in reality she hadn't. Victoria owed a lot to James Wilson, or Jims as she liked to call him. He helped bring sanity into the otherwise insane House family. He helped her brother on numerous occasions, and those were just the ones she knew about. He talked to her and in his own way James was her other brother. James smiled and hugged her back.

"Have you been causing a scene in here and bothering your brother Gory," he asked. Victoria gave him a fake scandalized look.

"Of course not Jims, how could you even suggest such a thing?"

The ducklings looked at each other. Jims? Gory? House's face darkened at the old nickname. He hadn't had anyone call him that in a long while, since he last talked to his sister, as a matter of fact. He forgot how not hearing that was bliss and cursed the time he wasted not savoring the moments without hearing that wretched name. Foreman stole a glance at House and was about comment when House stopped him

"Don't even think about it Foreman."

Wilson and Victoria broke apart smiling at finally seeing each other after so long. Victoria took the opportunity to make herself comfortable at the same table the young doctors were sitting at. She settled back in her chair and put her black booted feet on the table. House shook his head slightly, she always could make herself feel at home wherever she was at.

"So," she began, "what's going on?"

Simultaneously, the three younger doctors rose and started to leave all claiming they had clinic hours to complete. House knew they were lying, or Cameron was lying at least, he knew for a fact she always got her hours done early. The ducklings wanted to be away from Victoria's presence as fast as possible. They feared that if they stayed, they might tell her off, and that wasn't a safe possibility with House around. But later, oh later, she would get it from them good. Victoria just smiled, she knew exactly what they were thinking it was what everyone thought after they first met her, they wanted to kill her. The thought just made her smile wider. After the room was clear of all opposing individuals she began to speak.

"I sure know how to clear a room don't I?"

"It's a talent you have always possessed since the time you were born," House said.

"Yes, it seems to be a constant with you two, if you aren't insulting somebody, you are running them off," James joked.

"Yeah, life is good," Victoria mumbled.

"I wouldn't exactly call it good," Wilson said, surreptitiously casting a glance at House. House's brow furrowed, wanting to scowl at Wilson, he did not miss the implied hint. Victoria only smiled, she knew what Wilson was referring to. House seemed to revel in his unique talents at scaring others away. He gained joy from others by making them feel inferior. It wasn't a good thing, but considering the life Gregory House had he could have turned out much worse. He could be his father. Victoria inwardly cringed at the thought. She hated to think of Greg turning out like their dad. It was painful, even the image she conjured in her mind tugged at her heart. She couldn't help the protective nature she had for her brother, she had to keep him safe, even from himself. She shook her head to try to clear her morose thoughts. It would do no good to get upset about possible personality outcomes for her brother, she had to deal with what was already real, and that was hard enough. With a smile plastered on her face to cover up her emotions, she turned to Wilson.

"Aw, Jims is House scaring away his patients again? It may be unusual but at least his patients leave the hospital breathing."

House smiled at his sister, this is why he loved her. She was his sister so he had to, but it went deeper than that, no matter how much in the wrong he was she always stood up for him. Always. Sure she would tell him off later, when they were in private but she was there for him. It was a definite plus that she always managed to put Wilson in his place. Wilson only grimaced, it wasn't his fault that all his patients had cancer, but he still couldn't help feeling the offense.

"Besides," Victoria continued, "what is this I hear about you snitching on my brother?"

Oh crap, Wilson thought. House's smile only widened, now Wilson was going to get it. House settled into a chair, wishing he had a bowl of popcorn for this event. Wilson was just trying to breathe evenly, he did not want to be on the end of Victoria's wrath. This was a conversation he was not looking forward to.
