Monsters in Your Closet Fic
Hi guys, I know no one asked for this but here goes.
I wrote a crossover fic between Criminal minds x Supernatural!
Summary:
When Castiel goes on a hunt alone and is caught by a particular FBI team, the brothers do something they never thought they’d have to. They kidnap SSA Spencer Reid to make an exchange. But being kidnapped by delusional serial killers is nothing like Spencer thought it would be.
Can be read without watching Criminal Minds but ofc it’s better if you do!
CHAPTER I
Rarely did they caught the suspect that hands-on. Covered in blood as they entered the scene, the man was sliding a blade out of a body that dropped on the floor not a second ago. He stood up and sighed, looking around he seemed kind of irritated by the action he’s committed.
Emily who’s been watching from a distance as she quietly approached didn’t take another second to think before drawing her gun and shouting to the man to get on his knees. Walking from behind the corner she took a peek at all the bodies she hasn’t seen yet that were spread all over the place.
Luke was right behind her also pointing his gun at who was much more than just a suspect now. His eyes focused on the man, anger and disgust forming in them as he processed the scene – bodies of men and woman alike now all lying lifeless on the ground.
- Drop the weapon! – Emily shouted at the man who looked at them visibly surprised, he turned his head to the window in what she thought was going to be a desperate attempt at escaping - they were just on a second floor after all and she’d seen much bolder attempts in her career. But just when she was about to react he turned back with defeat on his face, tossing the blade before them and getting on his knees.
– Hands behind your head – she ordered to which the man complied. After cuffing him she looked once again at the whole place – it was a mess, many of the massacred bodies had their eyes open and expressions filled with pain. The old barn’s wooden floors were sinking in all the blood that’s been spilled tonight.
…
- We’ll transport him to Virginia for further questioning – Emily nodded to her teammates. They were trying to interrogate the man for two days straight before deciding it’s pointless.
James Novak, as Garcia has established, wasn’t much of a talker. On rare occasion he did open his mouth he only murmured something about ‘’how little you humans comprehend’’.
Rossi was also pretty sure he heard the word ‘’demons’’ come out of the mans’ mouth.
That along with the examination of the weird symbols left all around the crime scene led the team to one conclusion – they caught him - maybe that wasn’t their goal when they came to investigate corpses of people who were murdered in brutal and imaginative way, but it was a start.
A start to catching the Winchester brothers.
They theorized about them having an acquaintance, a third party – someone that got twisted into their mess – for quite a while now. Unfortunately they knew that him being in town doesn’t necessarily mean the Winchesters are. Even if they did come together the brothers would be far away by now – hence the decision to get back to Virginia to try and come up with what to do next.
When they flew in it was already dark. They placed the offender in one of their holding cells and Emily ordered everyone to go home and get some rest before continuing the interrogation tomorrow. It was going to be a tiresome day trying to get some information out of the man who wasn’t so keen on talking. They haven’t confronted him yet about being Winchesters’ accomplice and everyone wanted to know how that would go.
- Briefing tomorrow at 8, then we continue the interrogation, if we can’t come up with any new leads we’ll be assigned a new case. – Which was true, Emily knew that if the case wasn’t moving forward the suspect would be moved to be convicted and sent to jail. That wasn’t even a debate, with being caught red handed, literally covered in blood of your victims, there wasn’t a judge who wouldn’t sentence him to a long, long prison term. But that wasn’t what the team wanted, well, not exactly. The Winchesters were their big goal, catching them was what this was all about.
They said their goodbyes at the elevator and everyone went their separate ways. After not being home for two weeks they all wanted to go home to their loved ones or just go to bed. Everyone except Reid, who couldn’t be happier that they were continuing their case at their hometown. He was very intrigued by the whole thing and had several books regarding the topic of demonic possession, symbols associated with them and what was quite relevant to the case right now – symbols that were thought to be of a protective nature against demons – he was sure they were the same ones they saw at the crime scene. He knew he wouldn’t go to sleep tonight like Emily told him to. He had to read everything he could find regarding the topic. At least he would be prepared for tomorrow’s questioning.
He was walking through the parking lot as a shortcut to his apartment – his head wrapped around the case so much he didn’t notice the man walking behind him. Before he knew he was grabbed in a choking hold that was getting tighter by the second. He started hitting his attacker’s hand that was wrapped around his throat. Gasping for air he reached for his weapon but before he could manage to pull it out the image before his eyes started to get blurry. Not being able to take his gun out of it’s holster his hand got back to trying to loosen the man’s grip. He was choking but still tried to stay awake. His struggles were for nothing when black dots started appearing before his eyes and he passed out.
- Sammy! – Dean yelled out in a shushed voice. Sam ran in to assist, together they carried unconscious Spencer to the impala. Dean took Reid’s phone and dumped it. They put him in the back seat and covered him with a blanket so it would look like he’s just sleeping. They got into the car and drove off.
_______________________________________________________________
So, I have the whole thing written already cause I can’t handle the anxiety when people are waiting for me to post (even if most probably no one is) and I was thinking about posting the chapters (there are 10) every week.
I’m waiting for an invitation on AO3 and when I’ll get in it will be posted there.
I would really appreciate any comments/ reblogs, it would mean the world to me!
Fic Update!
Chapter III is out now!
See how Reid’s doing kidnapped by the Winchesters!
P.S. Next chapter will be posted on Wednesday, see you then!

El hombre y la unión en grupos: ¿cómo podemos clasificar estos grupos y quién toma las decisiones?
A lo largo de la historia, la evolución humana siempre ha sido caracterizada por la unión en grupos. Todos los grandes problemas que la humanidad ha afrontado se han solucionado gracias a la colaboración de muchos individuos uniendo sus fuerzas para un objetivo común. Al igual que los individuos los grupos también muestran una inteligencia. Podemos clasificarlos sobre la base de cómo se toman las decisiones dentro del grupo:
Jerarquías – algunos individuos tienen el poder y toman decisiones que los demás deben respetar.
Democracias – las decisiones se toman mediante votación.
Mercados – las decisiones se toman mediante acuerdos mutuos.
Comunidades – las decisiones se toman mediante consentimiento informal.
Ecosistemas – las decisiones las toma el más fuerte y puede, por lo tanto, sobrevivir y reproducirse.
Todos los otros tipos de supermentes interactúan dentro de los ecosistemas.
