Not my gif! Credits to the owner.
Summary: Life’s not easy when you found out that instead of being trained to be a spy for the CIA, you are being trained to be an assassin, a killer. The people you wanted to stop, they were making you one. That’s when you joined the BAU to become someone new, you didn’t want to be someone’s toy. You wanted your past to be errased, that’s all. But it’s not easy to hide a past like that.
“The First Case”
You could felt your heart beat faster than normally when the lift to the BAU building started moving. You closed your eyes and the face of your previous boss came in front of you, you opened them as fast as you could, anger was not the feeling that you wanted to feel right now.
The lift made a noise letting you know that you arrived at the floor you wanted, the doors opened and the noises of keyboards typing and phones ringing came into your ears immediately.
You stepped outside the lift and walked to Hotchner’s office as you were instructed when you talked to your old friend. When you were walking you felt a lot of eyes on you, but didn’t put much thought into it, you were used to that.
But Doctor Spender Reid was no used to that, the fact that a total stranger walked into the floor like she knew the place, caught his eyes. You looked interesting, like you were hiding something, someone mysterious and that’s why he couldn’t takes his eyes off of you.
You knocked on the door and you heard a “come in” from inside. Once you opened the door Agents Hotchner and Gideon appeared in your sight. Hotchner stood up from his desk and came to you to give you a big hug.
“Hi, y/n” he said after letting you go.
“Hi, Hotch.” You said with a smile “it’s good to see you again. And you too, Gideon”
Guideon hugged you with a half smile on his face. “I’m glad you’re here”
You nodded and sat down at the chair Hotch pointed.
“You’ve grown” he said.
A half smile appeared on your face and looked down “I lot has happend since we last saw each other”
It’s true.
A couple of years had past since you worked on a case with Agents Hotchner and Gideon, you were 21 and now, 25. Since then you three didn’t see each other face to face but kept in contact in case the BAU needed your help or your... special abilities.
“I’m sure you’re gonna fit well with the rest of the team, they are good people and they’re not much different from you” Gideon said and when it took you a second to give a response, he noticed and added quickly “different stories, same motives” You nodded with a half smile.
“And don’t worry, we didn’t tell them anything. Is your story to tell if you want.” Hotch said and I gave him a half smile.
“Thank you”
“We have a meeting to discuss the next case in ten minutes” Hotch said “you can set you stuff in your desk in the mid time.
“Thank you, Hotch” You stood up and once Gideon left the room you said “seriously, for everything”
“You know I always wanted you on the team, you’re one of the greatest.”
When you left the office and walked down the little stairs, you searched with your eyes your desk and in a matter of 5 seconds, you read the name “y/n y/ln” on a peace of paper on one of the desks.
You put the box that you were carrying since you left your car on top of your desk, when you realized you didn’t have much of “your stuff”. You didn’t want anything from your life to be remembered. Just... one thing.
You opened the box and the only thing that could bring you joy on this time was on a picture with a big smile on his face. Your little brother. You grabbed the picture and tapped it to the side of your desk. You missed him.
When you put the box aside, you felt a set of eyes on you. You looked to your left and a guy with glasses on was staring at you, but as soon as you looked at him, he went back to the book that was on his hands.
“Everyone on the meeting room” Gideon walked fast to the room followed by Hotch.
Once you were on the room, the eyes of 5 people were on you.
“Guys this is agent y/ln, she’s going to be a part of this team from now on. We can have the introductions later on, we have to talk about the case immediately”
“Three woman were found dead in the matter of three weeks in a small town from Ohio” A blonde girl said when she gained everyone’s attention “the local police wants us because they think that they have a case of a serial killer.”
“And why’s that?” The big man sitting next to you asked.
“The three bodies had the same cut on their stomachs,” she pressed a little controler that she had on her hand and the pictures of three stomachs showed on the big screen “they all have the letter “X”
“Looks like the killer took his time” the other lady that was sitting down said “look at the lines he carved, they are perfectly cut, not a single one is bigger that the other one”
“On the stories of pirates, they used to put an X on the treasure, maybe he thinks them as treasures?” The guy with the glasses that was looking at you before said quickly.
“Maybe” Hotch said.
“If we are talking about a serial killer, he has the same tarjet.” You said without looking away from the pictures “They are all woman on their 40’s, blonde, and for the look of their clothes, with money. Maybe he hunts them, he stalks them for a while, and when he kills them he puts a an “X” on their stomachs like “treasure found” you finished your sentence and felt all the looks on you. A silence came into the room and to break the tension you said with a half smile “Did I said something wrong?”
“No” the guy with the glasses said quickly. And when he noticed the way he said it he cleared his throat “that was good.” He moved uncomfortably and stood up. “Are we ready?”
Hotch nodded “the car leaves in ten minutes”
Spencer hoped no one noticed his behaviour back there, but he would be a foolish to think that in a room full of profilers. That’s when Agent Morgan appeared next to him putting his arm around his shoulders.
“What was that all about?” Morgan said with a smile playing dumb, because he knew exactly what was happening.
Spencer didn’t look at him and kept putting his stuff on his bag “What was what?”
“You have a crush on the new agent” he said with a bigger smile.
“What?” his voice went high pitch “No I don’t, what makes you think that?” He said while putting his bag over his shoulder, making Morgan let his shoulders lose.
“Oh, c’mon, pretty boy. You should ask her on a date”
Spencer started walking towards the lift followed by Morgan, and now Garcia.
“What are you guys talking about?” she asked.
“I just said that I think Reid should ask the new girl on a date”
“On a date?” Spencer said “I barely know her. You’re crazy”
“Well, that never stopped me” Morgan said with a smile winking at Garcia.
Once everyone stood inside the plane, you felt it turn on and slowly starting to move.
You opened the case file and started to read it, when you felt a body sat down next to you.
“I’m Derek Morgan” the big man said when you looked at him.
“Nice to meet you” you said with a smile.
“Is it time for the introduction?” A voice inside the computer that was in front of Agent Morgan talked and suddenly a blonde woman appeared. “I’m Penelope Garcia” she said with a big smile and you noticed all the jewellery she was wearing.
“I like your necklace” you said with a half smile.
“Oh! Thank you! That’s so sweet”
“I’m Jennifer Jareau, but you can call me JJ” the blonde girl who talked about the case sat down infrot of you.
“I’ve seen you on TV a couple of times, you’re good”
“Thanks” she said with a smile but you noticed that she was not expecting the compliment.
“I’m Emily Prentiss, nice to meet you” she shaked your hand and smiled. “I’m sure you will feel comfortable in no time”
“I’m sure I will” you gave her a half smile.
You looked around to see if everyone introduced themselves but the guy with the glasses was very focus reading the case file. You noticed that his finger was moving quickly on the paper.
“And he’s Dr. Spencer Reid. And yes, he can read that fast.” Morgan let out a little laugh and Spencer looked up from his file.
“Ah, Yeah, nice to meet you” He said and went back to the file.
Morgan and Garcia gave each other looks and you felt confused.
“How did you ended up in the BAU?” Emily asked once she sat down across from you with a coffee on her hands.
You had an answer prepared for this kind of questions, it was not the full story, but neither a lie.
“I worked with Agents Hotch and Gideon a couple of times, I always wanted to work with the FBI, and when I found out that there was a spot for the BAU I didn’t hesitate”
“How old are you when you started? You look kinda young” Morgan said.
“I worked on my first... case when I was eighteen. Now I’m 25” you were tempted to say “mission” but remembered quickly that you couldn’t just say that and pretend that they were the same thing.
“Wow, you started really young!” Garcia said on the screen “Are you a genious like Reid?”
“No, I’m not” you said with a half smile “I just... started way to early”
“You heard that pretty boy?” Morgan said loud enough so Spencer could heard him “your spot for the baby on the team has now been compromised”
Everyone laughed and Spencer just let out a simple “Mhm” while still reading the case file.
What’s up with that guy?
****
The three days that you were on Ohio went flying, it felt like hours instead of days. But the case wasn’t finished. The profile was done, but he was fast, always a step before the team. But then he made a mistake, that’s the opportunity to catch him.
Garcia was good, she found the name of the serial killer faster that you could ever imagined, you never worked with someone like that.
You were at his house, ready to go in, with Morgan and Spencer at your side.
“He’s not here, he’s not at his job” Gideon said on the communicator that Morgan had on his shoulder, “are your ready to go in?”
Morgan looked at me and I nodded, same did Spencer.
“Yeah” He said to the communicator.
“Ok. Keep me posted”
You three approached the door and once you were all on you positions, Morgan knocked the door down and you walked in.
“Clear” Spencer said in the kitchen.
“I’m going to check the back yard” you said and Morgan nodded.
“He’s not inside the house. We are right behind you” you nodded and headed to the door that lead to the back yard.
Once outside, you noticed a leaf moving on the right side, but there was no wind. You got closer and before you could think of anything you felt a body crashing into you pushing you back.
“Hey!” You said and ran after the man.
You heard Morgan and Spencer behind you, but you were faster, being able to pass the man, put your hand on the wall next to you and push your body upwards, hitting the running man on his neck with your knee.
“Nice...” Morgan said tying to catch his breath while you put the man on handcuffs.
“Thanks” you stood up and heard Morgan talking to Gideon.
Once the whole team were back on the police stacion, you decided to stand alone outside. It was something you did after you finished a case. Being a able to think something else that wasn’t the case, that wasn’t murder... it was something you were grateful for. Those moments.
You hear the voices of your team talking and the fear of them finding out your past came into your body. Not a lot of people can pull off moves like the one you did before, they are profilers, they are smart to figure it out. Why did you think that this was gonna work out?
You sighed and closed your eyes when you felt a body stood next to you.
“Hi” Spencer said with a half smile.
“Hi” you repeated the action he did.
“You ok?” He said with a concerned face.
Wait... he didn’t even look at you when he introduced himself, didn’t even talk to you when you were on the case and now he’s concerned? What a strange man.
“I’m ok. What about you?”
“I’m fine. Used to it.” He put his hands on his pants and you noticed that he was trying to say something. He opened his mouth like he was going to say something but he closed it. Yes, Spencer was trying to ask you something, but he didn’t find the courage to do it.
After a couple of sencods, he finally said “that was a good move you pulled before”
Your nerves were going way up, but you kept it cool because you knew if you showed a little bit of it, he would noticed it.
“Thanks...”
He was trying to find the confidence he had deep down there, he knew he had a lot of it, but somehow you made him feel like the most insecure man of all time. It was the way you talked, the way you moved your eyebrows when you were thinking, it was the little things he thought they made you so interesting, he wanted to read you like a puzzle, but not like the ones he did every day, you were different. He tried to think like Morgan, how does he do this all the time?
“Do you think that maybe... you would want to grab coffee sometime?” He didn’t knew how he got it out, but he did, and he was glad he did.
The question took you for surprise, and now the fear of them knowing your past turn into... happiness?
“Are you asking me on a date, Dr. Reid?” You said with a smile.
“Uh... yes... maybe, if-if you want to?” He was nervous, you could tell and that made your heart skipped a beat.
“Sure, whenever you are free” you said.
“Yeah?” He said a little bit surprised and happy that you said yes.
“Yeah, it’s a date”
“It’s a date” he nodded and both of you went back inside, with the rest of the team.
