A/N This is set before the first chapter it's kind of like a flash back. Anyways I hope you like it and please review :)
Foreman walked into the diagnostics office to see chase and thirteen deep in conversation and Taub staring obliviously into the distance.
"I have a case 14 year old girl all she's eaten in 2 weeks is celery, her name's Josie" Foreman announced in a tone similar to that of primary school teacher exerting their authority over a class of 5 year olds.
"We don't have a case you moron" House sauntered into the office and knocked the file from Foreman's hand straight onto the floor where the papers proceeded to scatter under the table. Taub only just noticing everyone else's presence jumped to pick them up.
"Do you wait around until I arrive so you can purposely irritate me?" Foreman shot at House
"What would the world come to if we couldn't annoy you Foreman?" house replied with a grin. He was in a good mood. It unnerved his team when he was in a good mood.
"The kid needs a psych consult and why don't we have a case?" Chase questioned uncertainly.
"Because, we're going on a road trip, kiddies" House's remark was met with blank stares from his team. Honestly some people were so stupid.
"A nice team of doctors need our help because they're too incompetent to do their own jobs so we have to do them for them"
"And, why is this good?" Thirteen asked "This is the sort of thing you hate"
"It's good to play with other kids, we can't keep chase to ourselves. We have to share" House managed to muster up the most condescending voice he could before telling them their plane left tomorrow and stalking off to see Wilson.
"There has to be a reason he's happy about this" Foreman mused.
"It's probably something to do with causing us pain or torture" Chase countered as he left the room.
As The PPTH diagnostics team arrived at their destination House led the way towards the entrance. He was still in a good mood; In fact he would be practically skipping if it weren't for the cane. Chase stopped to wonder for a moment if cuddy had taken House back, maybe that was why they were here- he had agreed to come for her. Foreman didn't care why House was happy he was just annoyed that even in a good mood he was a misanthropic jerk.
"House are you gonna tell us where we are yet" Taub asked.
"Shut up nosey, and I don't mean that because you're inquisitive."
"Oh my god!" Thirteen exclaimed as her co-workers all turned to stare at her like she had just started making out with a woman in the middle of the street.
"What?" foreman inquired panic rising in his voice as House smiled smugly.
"We're in Vegas" she retaliated incredulously
"And how would you know that? We're in the middle of nowhere." House countered raising his eyebrows at her and getting quizzical looks from the rest of the team.
"I…um…I've been here before" Nobody looked convinced by thirteen's answer but before House could interrogate her further he was cut off by a withered looking man with a receding hairline, crooked glasses and an arrogant demeanour.
"You must be the esteemed Dr House and his team." The man's voice was patronising and high pitched.
"Are you in charge here" Foreman stepped in seeing that House was making a point of ignoring the man.
"No, Dr Phillip Reed" He held out his hand to House barely acknowledging Foreman "The Man in charge here is Spencer Wyatt. Not fit for the job if you ask me he runs a department full of sex addicts and alcoholics. After 30 seconds of mindless drivel House decided he had had enough and wormed his way past Dr Reed, knocking his outstretched hand out of the way, and clicking his fingers to signal for his team to follow.
As they stalked through the doors of the hospital, much to the protests of Doctor Reed, they were met by another elderly man (obviously Dr Spencer Wyatt) but this one had laughter lines and a welcoming smile. He didn't make the effort to get up or try to impress, he smiled sympathetically at House's team and nodded in recognition of House.
"I'm sure Reed has filled you in." He got up and walked to the other side of the desk he'd been sat behind. "I'm not sure we were represented appropriately by Dr Reed, but no matter, let me introduce you to my team. He led the way over to a girl and boy sat together both looking equally as nervous as each other.
"Miss Penelope Jakes and Mr Josh Dunes- our resident interns" House hit the table in front of them with his cane just causing them to both jump up in fright. The man near enough fell off his chair and sent his work scattering across the floor, while the girl gave her best 'Deer in the headlights' impression and shrunk away from House's burning glare.
"A little easily startled maybe" Dr Wyatt mused, not surprised by House's actions "Then again what interns aren't always on edge." He led house away from the pair seeing looks of relief wash over their faces as the big bad cripple left them in peace to go torture other victims.
"This is the rest of my team" Wyatt led them over to another table where two men and a woman were having what seemed to be a heated argument that abruptly stopped when the woman reached out and hit both men around the head.
"Drs Jennifer Collins, Jeremy Brown and Alex Fisher" He gestured to each doctor in turn as he said their name.
"You have a big team" Taub broke the silence for the first time since they'd entered the building. Nodding towards the new doctors who hadn't taken much interest in them at all.
"Yeah, There is another woman but she's probably in a ditch somewhere" The one who had been identified as Jeremy said, brushing his floppy hair out of his face.
"You're gay right?" House probed looking him up and down "Have you met Dr Chase?" He pushed chase forward smirking.
"Just because I have great fashion sense, a high voice, and amazing hair it doesn't make me gay you know. Not all gay people fit the stereotype" He countered
"Except Jeremy, you are gay" Jennifer laughed.
"He didn't know that" Jeremy threw back
"And you pretty much are the stereotype" Alex chimed in "anyways I don't think she's in a ditch, she's probably in jail."
"She wouldn't be stupid enough to get arrested again, I bet she's with a guy, she's such… REMY!" Jennifer cut herself off by jumping up and throwing her arms around Thirteen.
"Old girlfriend?" House suggested
"Rems" Jeremy screeched running up to join in the hug.
"Old boyfriend? You getting some threesome action thirteen?"
"She used to work here until she ditched us because she's a traitorous bitch" Alex said.
"Oh yeah we don't like you" Jeremy remembered pushing her away.
"Guys, I got arrested" She tried to placate them.
"You still could've come back before you ran off to work somewhere else." Jennifer pouted but thirteen knew she was joking
Taub, Foreman and Chase shot her questioning looks.
"I worked here for 6 months, they're like my best friends" She answered their unspoken question
"And you didn't feel the need to tell us when we arrived?" Foreman accused. Chase cut them off before they could start bickering.
"Is there a bathroom in here?"
"It's down the hall to the right" Jeremy stated flashing chase a smile- He had clearly taken a liking to him.
"MOVE" a female voice yelled as the interns fled from her path. A skinny woman in biker books, a short skirt and a tank top, manoeuvred her way towards them, fast and cat like. She had long curly brown her that snaked in flame like tendrils down her back.
"And somebody get me coffee" House grinned a Cheshire cat smile. The woman hadn't even acknowledged their presence as she dumped her jacket on a table and carefully avoided Penelope's expectant hand holding out several papers in her direction.
"Cameron!" Foreman exclaimed.
"Wow! You're so perceptive" Taub said to him. Cameron didn't even seem to realise there were people in the room.
"Dr Cameron this is..." Dr Wyatt started but Cameron interrupted
"Yeah, Yeah Spence." She waved him away with her hand. "Where's my coffee" she yelled again.
"Dr Cameron you're late." Reed scolded
"Dr Reed you're not my boss" She retaliated "now where's my"
"Coffee" Jennifer held a cup out to her as she turned around.
"Sugar" Alex dangled the sachet in front of her chocolate brown eyes.
"Milk" Jeremy smiled at her motioning with his eyes towards House and his team.
"What would I do without you" she laughed making her coffee.
"Curl up and die"
"Become an emotionless, slutty whore."
"Get arrested."
"Oh wait you already are two of those things." Jeremy teased.
"For the last time Jeremy I didn't get you arrested" Cameron sighed and then stopped dead in her tracks when House (who had got tired of waiting for the fun to commence once she actually noticed there were other people in the room besides her) waved his cane in front of her face nearly causing her a serious head injury.
"You're not interns" She offered meekly before regaining her composure.
"ssshhhh Don't let them know, they'll be heartbroken." House hissed covering Taub's ears with his hands.
"Why would you think we're interns?" Foreman wrinkled his nose in confusion for being compared to someone with a much lower status than him.
"They're generally the people who stand round looking scared of us" The immediate shock was gone and she didn't look pleased to see them. Slightly irritated, a little hung over and not at all like Cameron maybe, but not pleased.
"Allison I believe you've met Dr House" Wyatt tried to ease the tension that had spread across the room like a thick fog refusing to dissipate.
"Pleasure" Cameron smiled wryly and turned her back on the visitors.
"And where have you been?" Alex accused "leaving us all alone, you know we're co-dependant." Jeremy, Alex and Jennifer gave her their best puppy dog eyes and tried to look sad, which Cameron found very amusing.
"There was a guy, I was drunk" Was her way of replying.
"Aww my little slut" Jeremy grinned ruffling her hair.
"What did I tell you; Sex addicts and alcoholics" Reed leaned in talking directly to House who stepped away from him and made a cross with his fingers as if warding off evil.
"That's us" Cameron teased in a sing-song voice ruffling reed's hair and kissing his cheek. Reed was not impressed. The disgruntled look on his face said that he wasn't usually taken seriously by Dr Cameron and her friends.
Cameron's eyes fell on thirteen who was the only one of the newcomers that wasn't completely in shock from her entrance.
"You escaped from jail." She commented
"So did you." Thirteen replied.
"Actually House bailed me out." Cameron said matter of factly. Foreman and Taub stared from Cameron to Thirteen, to House and back again utterly confused by the whole situation. Thirteen laughed and hugged Cameron
"I missed you" Thirteen sighed "Getting me drunk, winding up Alex, completely avoiding all work." She listed.
"It ain't like that with House." Cameron said. "Why would you ever choose him over us?" Sadly, whilst Cameron and Thirteen were reuniting was the exact moment Chase chose to return from the bathroom.
"Allison?"
