Part 1 here
As confused as you were, you were having a great time experiencing the relationship that dream-you had with the members of the BAU. Everyone seemed to like you just fine.
On the jet, you found a place to sit in the window seat on the opposite side of the isle, where Derek sat, leaving an empty seat next to yourself. Derek gave you an assuring smile. You wondered how many traits that you, and this version of you had that overlapped. Did the team know about your fear of flying? Did they know about your raging crush on Dr. Spencer Reid? Did they know that you had absolutely no idea what you were doing and that you totally should not be there right now??
Glancing up, you made eye contact with Spencer, who seemed to be walking suspiciously close to your row.
Oh.
You tried to act natural as he took a seat next to you.
You didn’t have to act natural for long, though, because in an instant the jet began to roll forward, faster and faster.
You swallowed deeply.
“Are you okay, Y/n? I know you never like flying but you seem like something is really off.”
“No, I’m okay.” You lied, “I’m just... I just didn’t sleep much last night and I’m really tired.”
“Oh, well you know, there’s no need to worry about turbulence. If anything, we should really be concerned about-”
“Spencer, no offense, but if you’re about to tell me about how what we should really be concerned about is the onset of a thunderstorm, contributing to the possibility of microbursts, I’d rather not hear it.”
You heard a chuckle and looked up to see Derek standing next to you.
“Oooh, she’s got you figured out, Reid. Better be careful.”
You blushed. You were only remembering something Spencer had said in an episode of Criminal Minds. Had that episode happened yet in this timeline?
“Oh no... I was just... I just don’t need to be any more freaked out than I already am right now.” You cleared your throat.
Spencer smiled at you, “We’ll be fine.”
You were trying to think of something to say to the man. Anything. This was your chance to talk to the love of your life and you were drawing a blank. You couldn’t think of one clever thing to say to him. You just kept looking up at him, and whenever you looked, it seemed like he was looking, too. Which was probably a good sign, right? Instead, it was mostly silent. With you making the occasional attempt to look fine whenever there was turbulence.
In the midst of everything, you forgot that you were, for the time being at least, a real FBI agent. And, you were in fact, actually dealing with criminals. However, those facts became extremely apparent when Garcia phoned in with details about the case.
It was hard to focus when Spencer was sitting next to you the entire time. Being so real. So cute. So... Good smelling somehow.
“-Well, we know hardly anything about the suspect.”
If you had been in a laughing mood after hearing all of the gruesome details of the case, you would’ve laughed at Emily’s statement.
“Male. Thirty-five-”
You froze, realizing that you and Spencer were saying the same thing.
“...Keeps within his inner circle.” You finished, looking Reid up and down slowly.
A quick glance around the jet told you that this was not an uncommon event. In fact, the knowing looks that were being shared by the rest of the team said quite the opposite.
Spencer blinked, trying to come up with more information.
“Also he definitely has children.”
“Obviously.” You blinked, looking around.
“I said that out loud, didn’t I?”
Luckily, the look on Spencer’s face wasn’t disgust like you expected. He looked... Proud? Happy?
Wait a minute. You were so caught up in information about the case that you didn’t stop to wonder how you came to that conclusion. Was that normal for you? Were you also a super genius? Perhaps. It was highly plausible, now that you were thinking about it. You were obviously young like Spencer was. Why else would you be on the team at that age? Huh. You liked being smart. It was cool.
“We’ll need to split up upon arrival-” Hotch interrupted your thoughts, “Prentiss you’ll be with Morgan, you’ll share a room at the hotel as well. And Y/L/N, you and Reid will be staying in the other room.”
Oh.
You stole a quick glance at Spencer. The over-confidence you had both been showing had disappeared in an instant.
