A/N: Hey guys! So I stole a challenge from an art site (DeviantArt). This challenge gives you 100 words to inspire you. It was technically orignally meant for drawing, but instead of inspiring my drawing side, it inspired my writing side! Haha! So I may or may not do the 100 inspiration words, I might skip a few that are giving me a hard time, but so far I've done two and they're really fun! Not really any rules... You don't have to use the word in your fic or anything, you just have to be inspired by that word. Anyway, if you guys would like to give it a try, send me a PM and I will gladly give you a list of all 100 words. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy it. I'll shut up now!

Word: Introduction

Subject: Jane/Lisbon

Disclaimer: I don't own the Mentalist blah blah blah or it's characters blah blah blah. If I did, I would show new episodes all summer long to make the fans happy. I miss it!!!!

"Hi, I'm Patrick Jane." The blond haired man named Patrick offered out a hand to the raven haired petite woman standing in front of him.

"Special Agent Teresa Lisbon," She replied, authority coating her tone. "You must be my new consultant." She grabbed his hand and gave it a firm shake. "My team and I have heard a lot about you and we all look forward to working with you. From what I understand you are a pretty good psychic."

"I'm not a psychic, Teresa." He chided. "I just have special mental capabilities, honed skills if you will."

"Ah…" She mused to herself. "Don't call me Teresa. I am either 'Lisbon' or 'Boss' to you. Same goes for the team, call them by their last names too."

"Yes Ma'am." He replied, rolling his eyes.

Lisbon began to turn to walk off to her office.

"Why is that anyway?" He questioned. "Are you trying to establish some sort of corporate hierarchy, or is it just your control issues?"

"Neither…" She replied coolly. "It's actually a method, calling co-workers by their last names. It's used to establish personal relationships without getting too personal. It puts up boundaries in a way."

"Mhm." Jane mumbled. "Liar. It's the second one, your control issues."

"So sure of yourself?" She eyed him warily.

He just smiled his special smile and tapped on his forehead. "It's all in here. Actually, it's quite simple. Body language can give you away every time, but you just have to be… perceptive to notice it."

"Oh really?" She snorted as she turned on her heel to retreat to her office. "Show off." She murmured, just loud enough for herself to hear.

Lisbon then turned around to face Jane once more. "Oh, and Jane?"

Jane just smiled at her to let her know he was listening.

"Being a pain in the ass won't get you anywhere in this job…"

"Damn it Jane!" Lisbon called after her blond haired consultant. "You are such a pain in the ass!"

"Come on now Lisbon, I can't be that bad, can I?" Jane questioned as he stood in the doorway of her office with his arms crossed.

"Actually, you are. Now get the hell out of my office Jane."

"Mmm, you remember my first day on the job?" He sauntered over to Lisbon's desk and rested a palm on the corner of it.

"How could I forget? You came in, dragged my couch out of my office, moved it into the main area, and then fell asleep on it." She motioned over to the couch that hadn't moved since that first day. "I swear it still has drool on it..."

"You told me that being a pain in the ass would get me nowhere."

"Ah yes, I do remember saying something like that." She smiled to herself.

"Well, it's been a year. I'm still here, so I must not be a pain in the ass like you say I am."

"Nah, you are, you're just lucky." She smiled at him.

"Lucky?" He scoffed. "Patrick Jane does not rely on luck! It was all me." He pointed at himself.

"Ugh, you are so full of yourself Jane." She sighed.

"Mm, well maybe it wasn't all me. It helps if your boss likes you." Jane turned to head out the door of Lisbon's office.

Lisbon started choking on her coffee.

"Excuse me?"

"What, Lisbon? I meant in a completely platonic way, but I'm not surprised you thought about it in the opposite way."

"No, I did not!" She shouted back.

Jane peeked his head through her doorway once more before leaving. "You're blushing." He stated matter-of-factly before rushing off as not to be hit by flying pointy objects coming straight for him.
