Thanks for the great reviews for the past chapter, everyone! Is it just me or is the fanbase for Thirteen and Cuddy growing more popular? Shrug. Oh, and whoever doesn't hate Lexi by now, you will by the end of this chapter!

Enjoy :)

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

Cuddy knew what Lexi looked like. She recalled how she made an entrance on her before. Too bad. She would've much liked to enjoy walking in on her dropping some huge random bombshell on her. God she hated Cuddy with a passion. Okay, so Lexi was well aware she didn't have the fancy job and the six-figure sum a year, but that didn't mean anything! Other than that, there was no difference between the two. At least that's what Lexi thought. She couldn't see that what she was doing was wrong. Her mind wouldn't conceive the thought for a second. She had Remy and Lisa walking around on eggshells and she didn't give two cares in the world about it. She wanted more. Drama and revenge was her double middle name.

But something had to be done. She already induced cardiac arrest on Remy's patient. Now she had to go further. The two sleeping together was just inconceivable and wrong. They were warned about it. They knew what would happen if they went through with it. Still, it didn't stop. And that pissed Lexi off.

Something needed to be done. No one goes against her orders and lives to tell about it. Her blood boiled at the thought and she was just crazy enough to follow through against those who screwed her over. Think of a heartless human being whose sole intent is to make other people miserable just for the hell of it. That's Lexi.

Before making a stop at Dr. Cuddy's office, she stalked upstairs to make sure that Remy was back in the office. She took the back stairs. She saw House's fellows, as well as Remy, but didn't see House. She didn't care. House wasn't important. As long as Remy was in there and looking busy.

Lexi kept her head down and trotted to the elevators. She didn't look around while waiting for one to come up. When the doors opened, she slipped inside and pressed the ground floor. Just as she looked up, the end of a cane reached up just before the doors closed, pushing them open again. He entered as well, giving her a stare.

"You can get in a lot of trouble for being here," he said.

"I was visiting a patient. What's it to you?"

"That patient didn't happen to go into cardiac arrest, did he?"

Lexi's eyes met his. She didn't expect for him to catch on so fast. How could he know? She didn't make herself known at all while they were in ICU.

House used the tip of his cane to press the emergency stop button in the elevator. Lexi rolled her eyes and sighed loudly.

"What do you want here?" he asked as the alarm started going off.

"Actually, Dr. House, I was just leaving, so if you don't mind…" He cut her off with his cane when she reached out to pull the button.

"You're becoming quite the story around here. How did you get past security?"

A small smirk formed at the corner of Lexi's mouth. "Maybe I shut him up. You ever think of that?"

House's face grew serious. "How?"

"It's amazing what men will do for a quick roll in the hay, Dr. House." If Lexi was stuck with House, she might as well make the best of it. He obviously wanted answers. She wouldn't let him have them so easily.

"Aren't you supposed to be a lesbian?"

She shook her head, smiling sweetly. "Nope. Remy and me swing both ways. You should see her in a threesome with men. I'm assuming you have the hots for her, right? You hired her because she's good eye candy?"

"Cuddy made me hire her," he said, drinking Lexi in with his eyes. She was very stunning. Her pin straight blonde hair flowed over her shoulders, side bangs pinned up to the right, and her cute little purple sleeveless top revealed her midriffs. House forced his eyes to her ocean blue ones, trying not to take in the more obvious and alluring features of her beautiful body. It was easy to look into her eyes. She was only a few inches shorter than him. Although that didn't stop him from dropping his eyes to her exposed cleavage.

"You like what you see, Dr. House? I know I do," she said, taking a hold of his hand. "Do to me what you dream about doing to Remy and Lisa. If Remy doesn't do it for you, I know Lisa does."

House shook her hand off his. "Don't touch me."

Lexi's smile/smirk remained. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Dr. House. Just how valuable is Lisa's life to you?"

"Don't threaten Cuddy just because I told you not to touch me."

She pinned House up against the corner of the elevator and brought his hand around to cup her ass cheek through her tiny skirt. House ripped his hand away when his pinky finger touched actual exposed flesh belonging to her ass.

"You're the one who stopped the elevator. I figured you wanted to get to know each other."

"I wanted to know what your issue with my boss was. Haven't you ever heard of personal space?"

Lexi chuckled and drew the tip of her pointer finger down the middle of his chest and stopped at his stomach. "Hardly."

"Get…away from me," he said, willpower starting to fade. He was never able to resist a beautiful woman, even if she is a convoluted psychopath.

Lexi's hands roamed down both his thighs as far as her arms could stretch. House just stood there and took it. There's really not much he could do.

Although there was one thing he had in mind. He reached his cane out to release the emergency button. The elevator roared back to life and the bell seized its ringing.

Lexi let out her lower lip in pout. "Oh, why did you have to go and do that? We were having such a good time," she whined.

"I better not see you around here again, you understand me?" House tried to sound serious but failed miserably. He was starting to miss the sweet smell of Lexi when she backed off. He was just acting like a typical male, not someone concerned about what damages this woman could do.

Lexi licked her lips, smirk remaining. "No deal."

When the doors opened, Cuddy was standing right there with the repair crew that worked on the elevators. When she saw Lexi, her eyes widened a few centimeters and her mouth dropped. It took a lot to scare Cuddy, but right now, Lexi was all it took.

"Call security," she said hurriedly to no one in particular. "Now."

"Oh don't bother, I'm leaving," Lexi said snobbishly to Cuddy, eyes scanning her with disgust as if she were the most revolting thing alive. "You have horrible taste in clothing, by the way."

There's not much Cuddy could do at this point except for watch her walk out of her hospital, unless security got to her before she did, which was unlikely. They were called, but if Lexi did what she said she did to the security earlier, no one would be coming to stop her. Lexi knew this and walked out of there with her head high.

"Where the hell is my security?!" Cuddy asked aloud, throwing her arms out.

She looked back at House, who was just now stepping out of the elevator, clearing his throat. Cuddy's eyes widened once more when she saw his package below the belt. She looked up at him, wearing a frown.

"Do you have no limits?" she asked with disgust.

"Regardless of who she is, she's got spunk and a great body."

He walked away, but Cuddy hurried to catch up to him. "I'm glad your definition of spunk entails a woman that shows no repentance in threatening people. What did you do with her in there? Who stopped the elevator?"

"I did. And nothing happened. I figured we'd wait until after hours when it's safe to come to my apartment. We were just going through the foreplay right now. Or at least trying to. Unfortunately seeing your face dropped all my excitement."

Cuddy was appalled. "In case you haven't noticed, House, she's crazy. She threatened me."

"She also said you had no fashion sense. I agree. Excuse me while I go nap in the bathroom until it's time to go home."

Cuddy spun House around and pinned him up against the wall in the hallway. Luckily enough the hallway was currently vacant.

"This isn't a joke. Lexi isn't that other cute girl that once had a crush on you and there's no medical excuse for this one. She's dangerous."

"That's what you said about the last one. What was her name? Ali? I could've so hit that."

"You are not hitting this one, House, so help me god, I will fire you for real this time."

"You have no control who I sleep with, Dr. Cuddy. And I never heard her threaten you. You could just be making that up."

"We are not having this discussion, House!" Cuddy shrieked. He was so unyielding that it was making her sick.

"Good, then can I pretend it never happened?" House had no intention of sleeping with Lexi, even though she could beat his hookers any day just by looking at them. He just liked messing with Cuddy. The look on her face was priceless. He wished he had a camera.

"You know my expectations. Get back to work."

Cuddy left immediately. When she got back to the nurse's station, she noticed Thirteen there and cussed in her mind. She forgot she had clinic duty after the debriefing. She was to do clinic duty if their patient was steady. Evidently, he was.

The two nearly flinched when their eyes met from across the room. Thirteen didn't appear to be either hot or cold towards her with just eye contact alone, but who knows what she had brewing inside. After that phone call to Cuddy just earlier today, it sounded like Thirteen would just up and quit. Cuddy remembered her words clearly-- "too weak to stand." She was right. Even now, she was having trouble focusing. She runs at the first sign of conflict.

But she didn't want to run out on Remy. Things would be so much different if Lexi wasn't in their lives. They would be able to be a couple. Cuddy wasn't being fair to her. She was giving up.

Thirteen grabbed the folder that Brenda gave her and slipped into an exam room away from the hallway Cuddy emerged from. Cuddy disappeared back into her office before the first tear could gather in her eye. However, she didn't make it very far. She didn't even make it to the second set of double doors when she pivoted on her heels and appeared back in the clinic. Brenda found this weird but didn't say anything. Cuddy marched into exam room one, throwing the door open. Thirteen didn't have a patient as it turned out. She was sitting on the exam table, hunched over when Cuddy found her. Cuddy didn't ask her why she didn't have a patient and right now she didn't care.

"I'll show you who's too weak to stand," Cuddy said, marching over to her and grabbing her by the collar of her shirt.

She pulled Thirteen off the table as their lips smashed together. Both of them wrapped themselves up in this heated, passionate kiss that immediately wiped all of their fears and troubles away. It was only focused on them and their desires for one another.

But it would have to wait. Tonight, they would settle their differences and come to a conclusion after spending time in Cuddy's bed.

Meanwhile, across town, House was settling differences of his own. He opened the door to reveal a familiar blonde standing there, wearing a men's button up formal shirt with loose fitting pants that went all the way to the ground.

"May I come in?" she asked, playing with the uppermost button on the shirt with a grin.

House stepped aside. He lost all his senses when it came to beautiful women. He especially lost it when she tore off the shirt and pants to reveal a one-piece leather outfit with fishnet stockings and knee high black boots. All the blood rushed to his groin instantly.

"Hi, I'm Lexi," she said, approaching him slowly.

House couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Hi, I'm Greg," he responded and then pulled her to him and kissed her, not exactly realizing the type of trouble he would be in if word ever got out.

It was the perfect way to get back at Cuddy. Instead of hurting her directly, she would do it passively and would be able to keep this going a little longer. She loved the chase and Cuddy would certainly want to hunt her down after this one. Ruining lives is what Lexi did best and she wanted to see that she destroyed Remy and Cuddy's relationship, one way or the other. And if this didn't work, Cuddy would be next.
