Spencer Reid

"I know what it's like to be afraid of your own mind." My name is Spencer Reid.

New Beginnings || Abby + Spencer

[scienceandvoodoo-abby-blog]

Abby smiled gratefully. “Thank you." She sat opposite him, sipping from her Caf-Pow. Well, guzzling it was a more accurate term.

"Oh, here, try it." She took her straw out and put the extra one in, holding it out for him to try. “I won’t mind if you don’t like it though. Most people don’t. It’s an acquired taste, I think." She grinned at him.

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

Spencer thought deeply about it for a moment, squeezed his eyes shut, and tried it. He swallowed and coughed. The caffeine hit him like a solid wall and he coughed again. It was almost like swigging cough syrup.

"Wow, that's strong." That one sip almost felt  like an entire pot of coffee.

New Beginnings || Abby + Spencer

[scienceandvoodoo-abby-blog]

"Oh, you don’t have to pay, Spencer." Abby looked at her new friend with wide eyes and a sweet smile. If he wanted to pay, she wouldn’t argue. But she didn’t want him to feel as though he had to. “I can’t say I was ever a Scout, but I do believe in being prepared. I’ve always got money." Plus a taser, just in case anything bad happened. She wasn’t stupid after all.

With her hand holding onto her drink as if it were a life-saver, Abby grabbed an extra straw so that Spencer would be able to try it. She knew it wasn’t for everyone though. In fact, she was the only person she knew that did.

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

Spencer shook his head and took the coffee before moving to sit at one of the tables by the window.

"I did. It's only fair. I don't mind." He liked having a friend to do something like that for. It meant a lot to him and as he took a sip of his own coffee, he watched her for a moment.

"Is that any good? The Caf-Pow?"

Seeing the coffee place just up ahead, Abby shook her head. “You just gotta try it for yourself. I’ll get two straws so you can try it." While she wasn’t afraid of germs, she believed firmly in personal hygiene, and until she knew someone well, she wouldn’t swap saliva with them. Not unless it was the fun way, of course.

"Come on." She beamed at him as they walked into the coffee shop. “I’ll have the extra large Caf-Pow please." She ordered with a dangerous glint in her eye. No one got between her and her drink.

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

Spencer leaned over slightly, seeing the size of the drink. All that, and it was basically pure caffeine? He shook his head and then spoke over her shoulder to the gentleman behind the counter.

"And a large black coffee. I'll pay." He was polite, thanks to his mom, which meant he would buy her drink for her simply because he could and it was the right thing to do. He looked at her sheepishly, waiting for her to ask him why he would do that.

Welcome Surprise || Hotch & Reid

[theaaronhotchner]

Hotch smiled back at Spencer and opened the door, holding it open for him.  "I think Elliot is making fish tacos tonight.  Do you like fish?  Because I’m sure we can find another option for you if you don’t." He said, following out after Spencer and locking the door, twisting the handle to make sure he’d locked it.  Aaron was sometimes a bit paranoid about such things.

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

Spencer smiled as he watched his friend before nodding.

"Fish is good. I love fish." He cocked his head to the side as watched Hotch fiddle with the door, as if double checking the lock. He didn't say anything, but instead followed Hotch out of the apartment building.

"Which car is yours?"

Lockdown || Parker & Spencer

[wiitchygatherer]

The slight buzzing noise from the PA system switching on grabbed Parker’s attention right away. At first she thought nothing of it, not until the words “institute is in lockdown" were brought into the equation. Lockdown? No, this couldn’t be happening. A look of worry quickly washed over the thief’s features. All the time that had been spent with Archie, she had been taught that every building had an exit but she had never been trained to break out of a hallway that had been electronically locked from both ends. She had to get out, or at least hide til it was all over. H i d e. Running to the nearest classroom, luckily with a mortice deadlock, Parker grabbed her lock kit from her bag’s shoulder pocket and made quick work of the lock. Hopefully she’d be safe enough in there.

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

Spencer looked over at the door opened and closed in a matter of moments as a blonde girl stood in his doorway. He stayed silent for a moment before speaking up in a very nervous voice.

"Hello there..." He didn't know how she would react. The girl was alone and now it was just the two of them, stuck in the dorm room. Luckily he had no roommates to speak of, otherwise he wasn't sure what would happen.

Library Studies || Maeve & Spencer

[petals-and-pills]

Maeve didn’t pretend to understand a single thing about what society called ‘dating.’ From what she gathered it was simply two people who enjoyed one another’s company enough to want to spend the a majority of their time together. She had never been asked out on a date before, all through high school most just admired her beauty from the distance and those who gathered up the nerve to look past the stereotype of her being a ‘nerd’ and actually talk to her found themselves lost in her sprawling vocabulary and her intelligence. It never quite worked out very well for her and she refused to be one of the sorts of girls who had to dumb themselves down in order to get boys to like them. So, no, she didn’t think this was a date but a new friendship, just maybe if she was lucky.

His quickened assortment of words caused her to quirk one of her fine brows as if she were silently questioning his reasoning for suddenly seeming so nervous. Had she said or done something to make him uneasy? That would have been an odd and unwelcomed change since she was usually the one who was skittish around others. Lightly shaking her head at his question. “Not really, it’s actually quite fun. You should take it if you ever get the chance, it’s a fascinating subject." When he blushed she blinked and tilted her head somewhat as if she were a curious kitten of sorts.

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

He nodded and cleared his throat and took a bite of his food. Chewing and swallowing with a hand to his mouth he then spoke up from his ball of nervous tension.

"I heard interesting things about the subject in general. But with.. You know... I'm sort of afraid to take that leap." It was one thing to know that the possibility of his mom's illness would soon be his own but it was another to know the odds, the reasons, and the mechanics of such a thing. It was one thing he refused to do for the moment.

"I am actually interested in finishing out Engineering and then taking Sociology and Psychology." He took another bite of his fries and a sip of his drink before watching the girl in front of him. He wasn't beyond realizing how pretty she was, but he was unsure of what these surge of nervousness.

Welcome Surprise || Hotch & Reid

[theaaronhotchner]

"No just put it against the wall and make sure it’s not in the middle of the walkway and it should be fine.  I don’t think he’s going to freak out if he comes home and sees a bike here." He replied, shaking his head.  

"Sounds good.  You can just ride back with me after classes if you want." 

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

"Sounds fine to me." Spencer moved his bike against the wall and out of the way before checking to make sure he had everything in his bag. He turned and smiled at his friend standing before him.

"What were we gonna do for dinner?" He asked as he moved towards the door, unsure to do at the moment. He had some other things he wanted to discuss, but he wasn't sure how to bring them up and if it was even ok to talk about.

Library Studies || Maeve & Spencer

[petals-and-pills]

Nodding softly at the prospect of him teaching her a better method at playing chess where she could possibly at least be somewhat better than she was - anything would have been an improvement with how awful at it she happened to be. Her smile lingering on her plush tiers more than it had in a very long time.

"I like to read a lot, write some even. I enjoy observing people and things, keeping a journal of sorts on behavioral developments in my new settings and those around me. I find that sometimes writing things down keeps my mind from becoming too clouded." she offered simply enough. “What about you?"

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

"Read, study, chess. I don't really do a lot.. With other people, I mean." He had always been a shy person to begin with and now he realized that he basically asked this girl he barely knew to a date. When it hit him, he literally stopped with his hamburger halfway to his mouth. Did she think this was a date? What did you even do on date?

"Umm... Genetics... Is it a hard class?" His words came out quickly, almost too quickly and he knew his face was probably scarlet in color.

Lockdown || Parker & Spencer

The voice from over the speakers hit his ears through the soft piano music playing over the iHome he had been listening too. He turned the music down as he closed his book and turned off the desk lamp. What did they expect him to do in the room? He looked around for something to do instead of study, which would just make him more nervous. Hopefully it would be a false alarm. But what if it wasn't? What was going to happen to the students? He didn't have a home to return to, so that wasn't an option.

Going on a semi-hiatus. I have somethings I need to work out at the homefront and work on the main blog while Steph is gone. I still expect replies to that note on the main blog. It decides if I keep the characters or not.

Welcome Surprise || Hotch & Reid

[theaaronhotchner]

"Well we can put it in the back of my car." He suggested, grabbing his keys and wallet.  "Or we can leave it here and you can just ride with me back.  If you were planning on joining us for dinner that is."  He replied, pausing at the door while Spencer made up his mind.

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

Spencer nodded. 

"I guess we can leave it here. You sure it won't be in Eliot's way?" He frowned a moment and ran his hands over the handle bars before nodding.

"I guess I can leave it. I come over for dinner most nights anyways."

Welcome Surprise || Hotch & Reid

[theaaronhotchner]

"That goes both ways." Hotch smiled at him.  He wanted to know that he was there for Spencer, no matter what, even if that was a little hypocritical of him.  It wasn’t that Aaron didn’t trust people.  He was a little cautious, but really he felt like his past wasn’t important.  He didn’t need the sympathy or concern from people about it.  It was his thing to deal with, not to burden it upon others.

Aaron watched him go sit on the couch and briefly glanced at the tv.  "All right." He nodded.  He went to his room and finished getting ready.  He emerged not long afterwards with his bag.  "Ready to go?" He asked, as he walked by the couch.

[boygenius-in-training-blog]

Spencer looked up at Hotchner and nodded before standing and stretching.

"Yes. I'm ready. Wait, how am I going to get my bike home?" He forgot he rode his bike over, carrying the letter and his messenger bag. He didn't want to leave it here in case Eliot came home and noticed it sitting in the living room.
