A/N: This is a story about Flack and Emily Brooks (my creation). Emily joins CSI and starts dating Flack, only to discover that she has a surprising connection to a member of the team.
Established Mac/Stella (although not in the open yet) and very flirty Dantana. Considering a crossover with CSI: Miami and Without a Trace later on.
This is my very first fanfic so please be nice! :p Although I do welcome constructive criticism.
Also, a special thanks to my sister, Amanda for putting up with my craziness when I write and for all of her feed back.
Disclaimer: I don't own CSI:NY cuz if I did the lab would be all paired up with lots of babies on the way. However, the beautiful Emily Brooks is my pride and joy.

Chapter 1
Meeting the team
"Detective Taylor?"
Mac looked up from the file he had been studying and saw a young woman in her early twenties standing by his door with an apprehensive look and excitement dancing in her eyes.
"Can I help you?"
"My name is Emily Brooks. I'm the new CSI from Chicago."
Comprehension bloomed in Mac's eyes as he said "Please, come in Emily. Sit. We weren't expecting you for another three days."
As she took a seat by his desk, Mac studied the newest member of his staff. She was extremely thin, almost fragile looking at a first glance, but her movements betrayed well trained muscles and strength. He did not doubt that, despite her looks the girl could probably hold her own in any fight. Her skin was extremely light and her long hair dark, making her seem even more pale. Although her big blue-gray eyes betrayed her nervousness he could see that she was very excited, and when she smiled he could not help but smile back.
"Well, I finished all of my affairs early, so here I am! I hope that's ok…"
Just then Danny walked in starring at a file in his hands, without noticing Emily sitting there.
"Hey Mac, the DNA we found under the vic's fingernails didn't get a hit in CODIS, but… oh, you're busy. I'm sorry. I'll come back later.
"It's ok Danny. Let me introduce you. Emily, this is Detective Danny Messer, he is one of the CSI's on my team. Danny, this is Emily Brooks, our new CSI from Chicago. She just flew in."
"How you doin'? Welcome to the big apple." Danny said with a smile.
"Thanks. It's good to finally be here!"
"Good. Now that that is settled, why don't you take a couple of days and you can start on Monday. I'll have your paperwork and badge ready. In the meantime, would you like to meet the rest of the team?"
"That sounds great!"
"Ok, then. Danny can you…?"
"No problem Mac. I'll just leave this file here. C'mon rookie, I'll show you around"
"So you're from Chicago?"
"Yup. The windy city. Where are you from?"
"New York, born and raised."
"I should have known."
"What?" Danny asked giving her an incredulous look. What did I do?
"Your accent. It's pretty distinctive" she replied laughing at him. She liked him. He made her feel instantly at ease with his effortless laughter and gentle teasing.
"Using your CSI powers already, huh? I'm impressed!" he said as they reached the first lab that contained Lindsay and Adam processing what looked like a pretty large pile of ruble. At the moment, Lindsay was printing a piece of glass, and Adam, with his headphones on, was bustin' a move with his back to them, waiting for GCMS to print his results.
"Ok, first stop. Hey you guys!"
"Hey Danny! Who is your friend?" inquired Lindsay, instantly curious about the tall girl standing behind him.
"Hold up. I'll explain in a sec. Adam… Adam… ADAM!!!" Danny practically yelled before Adam turned around and removed his earphones.
"Hey Danny! What up?" Adam asked with a slightly embarrassed look when he saw the strange girl in the doorway.
"Lindsay, Adam, this is Emily Brooks, Mac's newest find. Emily this is Detective Lindsay Monroe and that is Adam Ross, one of our newer CSI's, although he mostly works in the lab."
"Nice to meet you!" she said with a shy smile.
"Nice to meet you too." said Lindsay with a small encouraging smile in return. She seems sweet, she thought. Maybe we will be friends. It would be great to have someone my age around. Not that I don't love Stella, but she is more of the motherly type… "When will you be joining us?"
"Monday. I can hardly wait! I is my first real job after college, you know." She replied, not knowing if this was a good or bad thing in their eyes. What if they treat me like a baby? But no, Lindsay can't be more than three or four years older than me, they should be ok with it.
"Aw, man! I thought you were here to relieve us of this pile!" said Adam jokingly.
"Nope, sorry! Next time around"
At that moment, Emily heard the lab door open and she saw a woman with beautiful curly hair and dazzling green eyes enter the lab, interrupting their laughter at Adam's crestfallen face.
"Hey guys! Mac just sent me over to meet our new CSI and make sure you aren't torturing her yet."
"C'mon Stel… Why would you say that? We are always nice!"
"I never said you weren't Danny!" Stella said with a small chuckle and then turned to face Emily. "You must be Emily, right? It's really nice to meet you! My name is Stella Bonasera." And with that gave Emily a little hug. "How do you like the lab so far?"
"It is the most amazing place in the world!" the girl replied enthusiastically. The team couldn't help but smile in response. "It's so much better than the one we had in school. And the technology… Let's just say that I have only seen half of this machinery in theory." The young girl rambled on.
"I'm glad you like it! So I gather you just finished college?"
With a nod, Emily said "Double major, chem and law. Graduated with honors about a month ago."
"You are going to need it trust me!" Stella said with a laugh as she left the room.
