Booth's sister and Jack Hodgins have a thing going on and it's weirding out Booth. Jack Hodgins x Booth reader/surgical intern
The following week, Booth’s worst nightmare materialized: Natalie showed up at the Jeffersonian again. This time, under the guise of “picking him up for lunch.”
Natalie walked into the lab in her hospital scrubs, her hair pulled back in a high ponytail, the confidence radiating off her as usual. Booth, standing by Brennan’s desk, froze mid sentence when he spotted her.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, his tone sharp.
“Nice to see you too, big brother,” Natalie replied, placing her hands on her hips. “I had a free hour, so I thought I’d drop by. I’ve always wanted to see what you all actually do here.”
“This is not a tourist attraction,” Booth grumbled.
Hodgins appeared from his station, wiping his hands on a towel. “Dr. Booth. Fancy meeting you again.”
“Dr. Hodgins,” Natalie said with a warm smile. “And here I thought you’d forgotten me.”
Hodgins grinned. “Not a chance.”
Booth stepped in, physically placing himself between Natalie and Hodgins like a human barricade. “Don’t you have bugs to… I don’t know, play with or something?”
“Oh I was just headed back to my station,” Hodgins said casually, though his eyes remained on Natalie. “But if Natalie wants a tour, I’d be happy to show her around.”
Angela, overhearing the exchange, couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Oh, I like her, she whispered to Brennan, who raised an eyebrow in response.
“That’s not happening,” Booth cut in quickly, pointing a finger at Hodgins.
Natalie smirked. “Relax, Seeley. I don’t bite. Unless Jack’s into that sort of thing.”
Hodghins nearly choked, coughing to hide his reaction, “Well, uh-”
“Natalie!” Booth growled, cutting her off. “Stop it. Right now.”
“Oh, come on,” Natalie said, feigning innocence. “I’m just being friendly.”
“The hell you are. Flirting with Hodgins is not being ‘friendly’,” Booth shot back, his tone nearing panic.
Hodgins cleared his throat. “To be fair, Booth, I don’t mind…”
Booth whipped his head around to glare at Hodgins. “You’re not helping.”
Natalie laughed, clearly enjoying the chaos. “Alright, alright. I’ll behave. For now.”
Hodgins couldn't suppress his grin. “You know, Natalie, if you ever want to see the kind of experiments I do, you’re more than welcome to stop by my lab. I could teach you a thing or two about particulates and-”
Booth interrupts, throwing a hand up. “Nope. Not happening. No lessons. No experiments. No Hodgins.”
Angela snorted, practically doubled over. “Booth, you’re going to have a heart attack if you keep this up.”
Brennan, meanwhile, observed the exchange with clinical curiosity. “I don’t see why you’re so upset, Booth. It’s perfectly normal for two consenting adults to engage in light romantic banter.”
“It's not normal if it’s my sister and Hodgins”, Booth shot back.
Natalie stepped closer to Booth, patting him on the shoulder. “Seeley, you really need to relax. I'm a grown woman. I could handle myself.”
“Not with him, you can't”, Booth muttered, still growling at Hodgins, who tried (and failed) to look innocent.
Angela, always an instigator, chimed in. “You know, Booth, maybe you should let them go on a date. You never know, it could work out.”
Booth looked horrified. “Angela, don't encourage this.”
Natalie grinned and turned to Hodgins. “What do you think, Jack? Should we go on a date?”
Hodgins froze, clearly caught off guard. “Uh.. I mean, yeah! If you want to, I-uh-”
“Nope”, Booth barked, stepping between them again. “This conversation is over. Natalie, we're leaving. Now.”
Natalie rolled her eyes but followed Booth towards the exit. As they left, she glanced over her shoulder at Hodgins. “I'll see you around, Jack.”
Hodgins, still dazed, waved awkwardly. “Yeah. Definitely.”
Once they were outside, Natalie nudged Booth. “You know for a guy who's always telling me to lighten up, you're taking this way too seriously.”
Booth pinched the bridge of his nose. “Natalie, I'm serious. Hodgins... Hodgins. He's a conspiracy nut. He plays with bugs. He talks to slime!”
“And yet, he's cute”, Natalie teased. “Besides, I'm just having fun. Relax Seeley.”
Booth groaned. He knew his sister well enough to know this was only the beginning. The playful banter with Hodgins wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Back at the lab, Hodgins was still grinning when Angela approached. “So, Jack,” she said, smirking. “You think Booth is going to let this happen?”
“No way”, Hodgins admitted. “But it’s not going to stop me from trying.”
Angela patted him on the back. “Good luck. You’re going to need it.”

Booth has a younger sister that is a surgical resident and introduces her to his team, finally, but it takes a turn he wasn't expecting and he hates it. Jack Hodgins x OC/Natalie Booth, surgical intern
Booth wasn't sure why he agreed to this. It was a bad idea. a very bad idea. but here he was, standing in the Jeffersonian lab, introducing his little sister to the team.
Booth’s younger sister, Dr. Natalie Booth, had recently secured an internship at Georgetown Memorial Hospital. Bright, sharp, and he hated to admit it but charmingly confident, Natalie had always had a knack for making an impression and right now she's doing just that.
“I've heard so much about all of you”, Natalie said, her smile lighting up the room. Bones of course is a legend and Angela, your artistry is incredible and you must be Dr. Hodgins. she turns her attention to Jack Hodgins, her smile shifting is something a little bit more mischievous.
“Yeah that's me, Hodgins said, his usual confidence faltering as he shook her hand. “Call me Jack.”
Natalie tilted her head. “Jack, huh? Well it's a pleasure to meet you. She let her gaze linger just a little longer than necessary. and Booth’s stomach dropped. This was not happening.
Hodgins cleared his throat, clearly flustered. “The pleasure is all mine”, he said, his voice a little bit higher than usual.
Booth steps in, firmly placing a hand on Hodgins’ shoulder and steering him aside. “Okay, let's focus, people. Natalie's just here to say hi, not to distract anyone.”
“I'm not distracting anyone”, Natalie said innocently, though the playful glint in her eyes said otherwise. “Jack, do you always let my brother boss you around like this?”
Hodgin’s grinned, “Not usually but, he's kind of scary when he's protective.”
“Oh, trust me”, Natalie said, stepping closer to Hodgins despite Booth’s glare. He's been like this since we were kids. Remember when you scared of my prom date, Seeley?
“The guy deserved it”, Booth snapped, folding his arms. “He had a tattoo on his neck.”
Natalie laughed. “It was a barbed wire tattoo. Very trendy at the time. Anyway, Jack, what’s it like working here? Do you enjoy it?
“Yeah”, Hodgins said, smiling back at her. “I get to play with bugs and dirt all day. It's a dream job.”
“Bugs, huh?" Natalie asked, raising a brow. “Sounds ... intriguing.”
Booth stepped between them, arms wide like he was breaking up a fight. “Okay, enough. Natalie, don’t you have surgery to prepare for? Hodgins don't you have some slime or whatever to analyze?”
Angela snorted in the background, leaning towards Brennan. “This is going to be fun.”
Natalie peeked around Booth's broad frame to catch Hodgins' eye. “Guess I'll see you around, Jack.”
“Looking forward to it”, Hodgins said, his grin widening.
Booth groaned, running hand through his hair. He knew Natalie loved teasing him, but this? Flirting with Hodgins? This was a new level of torture.
As Natalie turned to leave, Booth followed her out of the lab. “Seriously, Nat, what was that?”
“What? “she said, feigning innocence. “He's cute.”
“He's Hodgins”, Booth hissed. “Stay away from him.”
“Oh, relax”, she said with a wink. “You should be happy I’m making friends.”
“Friends, my ass”, Booth muttered under his breath. He could already tell this wasn't the last he heard about Natalie and Hodgins.
Back in the lab, Hodgin’s was still staring at the door, goofy grin on his face.
“Jack,” Angela said, smirking. “You’ve got it bad.”
“Yeah,” Hodgins admitted, barely registering her comment. “I think so.”
Bucky Barnes leaves for war from her perspective.
I still remember the way the air felt that night.
Heavy, like it knew. Like the sky itself was holding its breath.
You didn’t say it, not really. You didn’t need to. I knew you were leaving. I knew this was the last night. And I knew the second I saw you in that uniform, stiff, and crisp, and not you, that everything was about to change.
You tried to act like it was fine. Like we had time. You smiled that crooked smile, the one that always made me forget how to breathe. And I laughed. I laughed at your dumb jokes, because if I didn’t, I’d cry. And I wanted- God, I wanted to be strong for you.
We sat in our booth, like always. The waitress called you “soldier,” and you smiled at her, but I saw the flicker in your eyes, you were scared. I was too.
When we left, you walked me home even though it was out of your way. You always did that. I think you liked pretending we lived in the same world, like you could stay in it just a little longer.
We stood outside my building for a long time, neither of us saying anything. The city faded around us - cars, people, lights - they'll just.. disappeared. It's just you and me.
And then you kissed me.
Slow. Careful. Like you were memorizing me.
Like if you kissed me soft enough, maybe the war would forget your name.
That was the last kiss.
I didn't know what to say when you pulled away. I didn't want to cry, so I just nodded. I wanted to say "I love you,” but I didn't. I was afraid that if I did, you wouldn't leave - and part of me was selfish enough to want that. But the rest of me knew... you’d never forgive yourself if you didn’t go.
So I let you walk away.
You didn’t look back.
But I did.
I watched you turn the corner, and I whispered it then, “I love you.” Quiet. Just for me. Maybe the wind carried it to you. Maybe not.
You came back eventually after so many decades, but I’m no longer here.
After so many years, I would lay awake sometimes thinking about that night. About that night. About that kiss. About the boy who held my hand like it was a lifeline and kissed me like he was already gone.
I never kissed anyone the same after that.
But with me now gone, I wish you could with someone new.
Is Tony jealous? How would he react to others if they flirt with you?
Absolutely jealous. He’s not clingy or insecure, just territorial.
If someone flirts with you, he plays it cool at first but not subtle at all.
“Hi. Tony Stark. Just wondering what position you’re applying for. The boyfriend slot has already been filled.
“Thanks for keeping my girl company but I think I got it from here.
Translation: Get lost, loser.
If he by some miracle bites his tongue but continues to listen, he’s getting petty.
“Hey, can I offer free dating advice? Step one: aim for someone that’s single.”
“If she’s not responding with more than one word, it means she doesn’t want to talk to you.”
“Not that I was jealous, just asserting dominance.” “Okay, sure, babe.”
Casually glares at people that check you out in public.
You mention a neutral name, he’s questioning it.
“Wait, Taylor? Is that a guy or a girl?”
Don’t get me started if you openly say a celebrity is hot.
“Henry Cavill is sooo hot.”
“He’s a guy in tights and a cape. Sure he can fly, but can he build you a custom AI assistant that does whatever you want? Didn’t think so.”
“Babe, he can fly, shoot lasers from his eyes, super senses, has x-ray vision, super speed, and can freeze things from his breath.”
Two hours later, he’s in his lab trying to see what he has to do to add laser eyes to his Iron Man suit.
He was my best friend.
I don't understand why.
Why?
Why is he gone?
He is...was so young. Only 20 years old. His birthday is this month on the 28th and he will never have that beer he'd been excited to buy himself and drink. He's always been such a good kid, so innocent. He would tell me he wanted to go crazy for the first time in his life on his 21st birthday and he won't ever have that moment. I will never see his adorable baby face. I will never see his huge smile. I will never play with his curly hair. I will never see him running around my house like a little kid. He was the type of person that can light up a room instantly. He could make you smile on your darkest hour. He was like my little brother.
Now he's gone and there's nothing I can do. I can't hear his voice. I can't ever hear his singing voice again. We used to be the four of us and now there's three and it’s not the same. We don't laugh as loud anymore. We don't smile as bright. Something's missing with us.
I didn't want to go to his funeral because I was afraid it would make it real but I went anyway, for him. For his family and for our friends. I wanted to be strong and I couldn't. After the burial I practically ran to my car. I just sat and cried. I couldn't do anything else. I then heard two of my car doors open. It was the other two. We all sat in my car, sobbing. We held each other in the backseat. The three of us were devastated. We all miss him. I'm sad I'll never be able to tell him all the things I should have told him.
I love and miss my not so little, little brother.
Love,
Your forever sister
