@stapcs​​ / starter call

                 it had taken years and an impossible number of hoops to just through for zack to even get his job back at the jeffersonian as doctor brennan’s assistant. that alone had required nearly everyone he knew to pull strings they were barely grasping at ;   nonetheless, it helped to know powerful people. and making amends with agent booth — the elder, for christine would always just be christine to zack — certainly helped when he needed a good word put in for him with the fbi.

he was content with where he was. he never had the same drive to engage with the fbi the way doctor brennan did. and with everything that happened, zack would have been happy to stay in the lab for the rest of his life if it meant he could be there at all. 

he’s come a long way, and over the last 20 years, he’s grown into a competent, accomplished forensic anthropologist in his own right. and yet, the past looms over him, casting an unshakeable shadow no matter how illogical it is. 

zack’s long since come to terms with the fact that he’ll never be anything more than a lab-bound scientist. he’s okay with that — because he has to be.

until.... 

“so. what are we working with?” everything he’s learned from doctor brennan about working with the fbi seems to fly right out of his head the minute he’s face to face with christine. “and, um...” he lowers his voice. he and the younger booth have long since put their differences aside, but working together is new and unfamiliar territory, and zack finds himself inexplicably nervous. “are you sure this... arrangement, is going to work? because doctor edison would probably be willing to step in—”
