When you can do the kind of things that Hope can do, maybe that's the way you end up thinking. There aren't a lot of people where she's from who would be able to match her physicality, so, why worry if someone intended to do you wrong? You could simply handle them the way you would anyone else who stepped out of line.

She could certainly handle this country doctor without any trouble. It so happens that she won't have to worry about that from Bones. The CMO took a vow to do no harm and he meant every word when he said it.

"I'm Leonard." He says with a little bit of a drawl entering into his voice. Some semblance of southern gentility remains in him, even after going to a Yankee med school and living in space for years. "It's my pleasure to meet you, Ms. Hope."
