AN: Just a short request today. I hope you enjoy! :)

“Ow ow ow”

Your moans of pain are the first thing Aaron hears when he walks through the door of your shared apartment after a long day at work.

As he shuffles further into your living space, he notices the smell of his favourite home cooked food and hears the sound of water running.

He approaches the kitchen where he heard you curse in pain and he sees you bent over the sink, holding your left index finger in your right hand and holding it under the stream of water of the tap.

You hadn’t noticed him yet, he takes a look around the kitchen and sees a variety of foods dotted around the counters. You had been preparing dinner for the pair of you.

“You ok sweetheart?” Aaron asks with sincerity in his voice. He knew based off of your facial expressions that you weren’t injured too badly. But Aaron doesn’t like seeing you in any pain whatsoever, no matter how big or small. So he can’t help but be concerned.

You turn around in surprise, having not heard him enter the apartment. A small smile makes its way onto your face, hiding the slight grimace you previously wore.

“I burned my finger on the pan” you exclaimed, inspecting the barley there burn on your finger.

Aaron walks over, gently prying your finger out of your other hand and placing it within his own. He lowered down to your height and squinted his eyes slightly to get a good look at your finger. It was red and he could tell it would be painful, but nothing too bad. And not much could really be done about it, running it under the tap and being gentle with it would work just fine.

He brought your hand up to his mouth, placing a slight kiss just below the burn, not wanting to hurt you more by touching it.

“Again?” he asked cheekily. This wasn’t the first time Aaron has caught you cursing to yourself over a kitchen based injury, you’ve burnt yourself several times. You’re simply just clumsy in the kitchen.

“It’s not my fault the stupid pans are too hot” you respond with a slight pout on your face, not liking being called out for your clumsiness.

Aaron laughs lightly at this, he thinks you’re adorable. Clumsy, but adorable.

He brings you into a tight embrace, both from having missed you whilst he worked today, and to show he meant no harm with his teasing.

Aaron slowly rocked you both side to side as he held one hand around your lower back, and the other gently stroking your hair on the back of your head.

After a short moment of indulging in you, he pulled back and looked lovingly into your eyes.

“What am I going to do with you?” he sighed teasingly, placing a kiss on your forehead.

“Maybe you can do the cooking for the rest of the week. I’m too injured to do anymore” you dramatically reply as you hold up your ‘injured’ finger, a smirk on your face.

“Oh of course, honey. I couldn’t possibly expect you to carry on with such an injury. Why don’t you go sit down while I finish plating up the food?” He questions, playing along with your dramatics.

You eagerly nod your head and rush to sit at the table. Aaron watches you go, his heart filled with so much love for you.

Once the food is all plated up he sets everything down on the table and sits to join you.

“Thank you for dinner sweetheart, everything looks great” Aaron tells you.

“You’re welcome” you respond. “I missed you”

“I missed you too. But I’m home now and should have the weekend off, so you have me all to yourself for a couple days.” Aaron is truly happy about this, he values every single minute he gets to spend with you. An entire weekend will be bliss. “What do you wanna do over the weekend?”

You thought about it for a second, there was plenty you had been wanting to do with Aaron for a while. Date nights out, museum visits and more. But honestly, you just wanted this weekend to be you and him with no disturbances. And nothing sounded better than staying in all weekend, with no one but each other. Cosy mornings and soft touches, movies and takeout, that sounded like bliss.

“Well… since I’m so terribly injured…”

You once again showed the burn on your finger (that had already practically disappeared)

…”I think we’ll have to stay in and watch movies and eat takeout all weekend”

Aaron truly couldn’t think of anything better. God he loved you so much.

“That sounds perfect, though I guess I’ll have to nurse you back to full health” he suggested with an eyebrow raise and a smirk.

You knew his suggestive intentions with that comment. He was going to take good care of you.

You smiled back, both of your eyes beginning to gloss over with lust.

This was going to be a fun weekend.

The Tribe

Season One Masterlist

Unfinished Business

A Real Rain

Summary: When a group of college students are brutally tortured and murdered and one is kidnapped, the BAU is led to believe that their UnSub has an extensive knowledge but impractical understanding of Native American ritual which leads them to consult with the reservation policeman who is also an activist, then they start to suspect that a cult is involved.

Warning: Blood, Mention of torture, Mention of Main Character's Torture, Mention of Acid, Cult, Mention of Native American Culture being used against them; Hate on Christopher Columbus (he was not a hero. It's a fact. Look it up. Many historical figures were not as noble as they seem.)

Notes: I am a very white, very pale Caucasian from Irish descent and (possibly) Italian descent (my granddad was adopted but we think his parent(s) were Italian, but honestly I think he spoke to me once in my life while my mom all but had to get a restraining order against his wife with me), however if memory serves me right I am descent of a Native American tribe very distantly across many generations but last I heard of this I was 13, however I feel that doesn't really mean much in terms of... whatever, I can't think of the right word nor do I really want to talk much about it, while the OC is half American/Scottish, Half Mexican and from Aztec descent which was a Native American tribe, this is just because the Aztecs were in central Mexico and it's surrounding areas. I "canonically" (if you can refer that to fanfic) made Zoe a descent of the Aztecs because the Aztec culture is still a significant part of the Day of the Dead celebration. The tradition is a blend of Aztec beliefs about honoring the dead with Catholic practices introduced by Spanish conquistadors, in fact the Aztecs celebrated a similar holiday focused on the Goddess of Death in their culture, Mictecacihuatl. I did some research on this, and I think what the Aztecs were known for fit Zoe quite well but please correct me if I'm wrong because I did short-ish Google searches.

The Aztecs were known for their fearless warriors and pragmatic builders. They had a powerful military which includes elite warrior units like the Jaguar Warriors (who were full-time soldiers considered to be the knights of the Aztec kingdom known for their ferocity in battle and serving as peacekeepers and law enforcement when not at war) and the Eagle Warriors (but I'm not sure what they did as oppose to the Jaguar warriors but from what I've read they protected and policed the city, served as leaders, captured enemies to sacrifice to the Aztec gods which they seemed to actually be known for and I'm ignoring what I read about cannibalism but they were awarded the titles for acts of exceptional bravery in combat)

They are lesser known for their doctors or "ticitl" (If that's spelled wrong let me know) but still known for it, they were skilled in herbal medicine and surgery, even having their own kind of anesthetic using narcotic plants, they used obsidian knives to remove tumors, drain wounds, and agave thorns for eye surgeries.

The Aztecs were known for human sacrifice, especially during troubling times (like pandemics or other crises) and they were performed to honor the gods. The most common was heart extraction, they believed that the heard was both the seat of the individual and a fragment of the Sun's heat (not sure what that means though)

I think these unintentionally lead to Zoe quite well with the fearless warrior and doctor part and even the specification of the heart, I didn't actually know that, I just knew that the modern Day of the Dead culture had roots in Aztec traditions so that works quite well. Let me know if I'm missing anything and let me point out, I have great respect for other cultures, I have great interest in the beliefs that they have and find it fascinating. Just as I have great interest in Mexican culture of the Day of the Dead.

Note 2: I did change most use of the word "Indian" to "Native American" except when used by Blackwolf (because he is Native American and he can use that word while it's distasteful if others do but still don't feel good about it!) or any explicitly racist characters. Zoe's reservations towards Blackwolf are more for his attitude towards the FBI and violence and it's more annoyance for what she feels Blackwolf and Hotch are being rather... well, I can't quite think of the word other can "testosterone" and I think that feels like an exaggeration of what it is. Arrogance, maybe.

“There is a battle of two wolves inside each of us. One wolf is evil, representing anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, lies, inferiority, and ego. The other wolf is good, representing joy, peace, love, hope humility, kindness, empathy, and truth. The wolf that wins is the one you feed.” — Native American Proverb

March 6, 2006

Penelope Garcia was heading back to her batcave with cleaning supplies when she spotted Sean Hotchner enter the BAU. She stopped and handed the cleaning supplies to a random person and followed him.

"What are you doing out of your bunker?" Elle asked, coming up to Garcia, Zoe looked over, shaking her head. She honestly didn't see it.

"I was on my way to file the things that I... file." Garcia said, staring at Sean.

Sean spotted them and went to ask them where he wanted to go.

"Excuse me."

"Hey." Elle said, playing cooler than Garcia.

"I'm looking..."

Zoe stood up, "Hey, Sean."

Sean looked over to see Zoe who he had known from his brother working at the BAU. "Hey, Zoe. I heard you were working here."

"Yeah, your brother finally cracked from his workaholism and was briefly crazy enough to hire me. Follow me." She said and nodded before walking off and Sean followed.

Elle looked at Garcia and asked, "'Brother' as in... That's Hotch's brother?"

"Maybe Hotch is adopted."

"So, gonna tell him now. That'll be fun for us." Zoe snarked as she walked

"How'd you know already?" Sean asked her.

"I know everything Sean." Zoe said, "You're not the lawyer type. Top of the stairs. Good luck."

Zoe went back to her desk where Garcia had gone to badger her with questions and didn't get answers.

About five minutes later, there was a muffled shout from Hotch's office and Sean stormed out.

"Here he comes." Garcia said.

"That's Hotch's brother?" JJ asked.

"Uh-huh."

"I don't see it." JJ said.

"Eh." Zoe shrugged.

Hotch went after his younger brother, "Sean, listen to me. All I'm saying is you're twenty-five years old and it's..."

"You know what? Don't profile me, Aaron!" Sean shouted, pointing at him and then he stormed off.

"Now I see it." JJ said.

"See ya, Sean." Zoe called after him. "Be careful not to crash!"

——————————————————————————————————

They gathered in the briefing room where JJ presented the next case, handing them the files, "Terra Mesa, New Mexico. Five dead. All from Mesa University. No signs of sexual assault and no sign of theft."

"Five nineteen-year-olds. Minimal defensive wounds? One of them was impaled on a six-foot wooden pole." Morgan read from the file.

"Who'd want to torture five college freshmen?" Elle asked.

"They weren't tied up and no one escaped?" Morgan asked.

"No single UnSub could have exerted this much control over so many people." Spencer noted.

"So, you think there was more than two?" Elle asked and Spencer nodded.

"I think we're looking at a pack." Gideon said

"A pack?"

"Three or more that kill in unison. As in nature, the group dynamic dictates that the pack's survival is dependent on their ability to hunt successfully." Spencer explained.

"And, as in nature, a pack will keep on killing until it runs out of prey or is stopped." Hotch added.

"Stopped by what?" Elle asked.

"A stronger pack." Zoe said.

——————————————————————————————————

Nietzsche wrote, "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe."

Hotch, Gideon, and Spencer met Zoe at the crime scene who drove on her motorcycle and waited for them.

"Sheriff, I'm Special Agent Hotchner. These are Agents Reid and Gideon."

"I thoughtany Doctor Noble-Valdez said there were more of you." Sheriff Jimmy Rhodes said.

"The other agents went straight to the station house to look at the victims' files." Hotch asked. "Has forensics had any luck?"

"The county CSU went through for prints and trace evidence. They said with all the workmen tramping through here, looking at footprints would be a waste." Rhodes said, "Come on." He lifted the police tape.

"The bodies were almost completely skinned. Yet, there's so little blood." Hotch said.

"Well, this explains why." Zoe said, looking through the photos, "The UnSub avoided areas of skin on the wrist and throat, areas where the veins and arteries are closest to the surface."

"Why would they do that?" Rhodes asked.

Zoe hesitated to tell him but Gideon did it for him. "They didn't want them to bleed out."

"These kids were skinned alive." Spencer explained.

They entered another room, "Two cases of beer. Two sleeping bags." Gideon stated.

"There's a third sleeping bag upstairs." Rhodes said.

"Everything you need for a night of teenage romance."

"It's unlikely that two couples brought a fifth wheel to take notes." Gideon said.

"Sheriff, it's possible there was a third girl here. A sixth victim." Zoe explained.

"I'll get my deputies to canvass the area. See if anybody saw a girl." Rhodes said.

"You said there was another one outside?" Zoe asked, referring to before the team arrived.

Rhodes showed them where the other victim was killed, a bloody wooden pole was stuck in the ground.

"He was like the others. Coroner said from the amount of blood he was alive when they impaled him."

"I know this is going to sound strange, but the way the victims were flayed alive, mutilated, and now the impalement display of this last victim..." Spencer listed but trailed off.

"What?" Gideon asked.

"These were all war rituals of the Native American Plains Indians." Spencer explained.

"Does that mean something to you, Sheriff?" Hotch asked.

"I'll say it does. Everything you see around us is Apache land. This whole basin is a sacred burial ground and was the site of a number of massacres as I understand." Rhodes explained.

"So, this development is on their land?" Hotch asked.

"It was their land, but they didn't have the money or the inclination to build on it. So the town seized half of it."

"Yeah, last year the Supreme Court ruled that cities can use eminent domain authority to seize and repossess undeveloped private land for private development." Spencer explained.

"And now the town is looking for investors to build on the other half. The Apache are fighting it, of course, in court." Rhodes said.

"There been any violence until now?" Gideon asked.

"Nothing like this."

"You know anybody on the reservation capable of this?

"I don't know. Reservation's federal jurisdiction." Rhodes said.

"Sounds like where we need to go."

We'll call Garcia. See what she can find." Hotch said.

"If she's done drooling over your brother." Zoe muttered.

"What?" Hotch asked, haven't heard what she said.

"What?" She asked in faux obliviousness.

——————————————————————————————————

When Hotch got off the phone with Garcia, he turned to Rhodes and said, "Blackwolf?"

"John Blackwolf?" Rhodes asked.

"You know him?" Gideon asked.

"Native American activist. He's been in a little trouble related to his activism, but nothing violent. And not around here."

"Should we call the reservation police and alert them?" Hotch asked.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Rhodes said.

"Why not?" Zoe asked.

"Blackwolf is the reservation police." Rhodes said.

——————————————————————————————————

Zoe was forced to ride in the car until they got to the reservation school.

"Jane Bear, these are FBI agents. Gideon, Hotchner, Reid, and Noble-Valdez."

She shook hands with Gideon and Hotch. Spencer just waved and Zoe shook her hand. "Just call me Zoe." Zoe insisted.

"Miss Bear is the president of the tribal council and principal of the reservation school."

"A president and a principal? Must be a busy woman." Gideon said.

"We're out here on our own, Agent Gideon. We all do our part." Jane Bear said.

"Is, uh, John inside?" Rhodes asked.

"This about the Terra Mesa killings?" She asked.

"They just want to talk to him." Rhodes said.

"John Blackwolf has done more to help his tribe than anyone. Hell, Jim, how many times have you called him in to find lost hikers? How many drunken campers has he tracked down for the park service? John is a peaceful man..." She defended,

"Who would not hesitate to defend this tribe with force if attacked." Rhodes added.

"What does this have to do with Terra Mesa?" She asked.

"Well, a lot, if John considers the building of the Terra Mesa development on Apache land to be an attack." Hotch said.

She sighed and turned to lead them towards and inside the school, "The developers have paid a lot of families to leave the reservation. So many families have gone now that we can barely fill a single class."

They entered the class as Blackwolf taught the class, "Forcing the Dene, the Apache nation, to abandon their homes and live in government controlled internment camps. Does anybody know the last tribe to surrender to the American government?

"Chiricahua." Spencer whispered

"It was the Chiricahua Apache." And does anybody know the name of the last leader of the Apaches?"

Some kids raised their hands as Spencer whispered, "Geronimo."

Blackwolf pointed to a boy and he said, "Geronimo."

"That's right. He was caught by the US army five times. But the Ga'he had given him so much strength he escaped each time." Blackwolf said, "Samuel.

"Yes?" The boy from before asked.

"Tell the men and woman from the FBI who the Ga'he are."

Spencer spoke instead, eager to share his knowledge. "The Ga'he are mighty spirits who dwell in desert caves."

"Reid, is your name Samuel?" Hotch scolded and the children and Zoe giggled.

"Sorry." He apologized.

"Are the Ga'he good spirits or bad spirits?" Gideon asked.

"They're both." Blackwolf said, "Like men."

"I'll take over for you, John." Jane said.

They met Blackwolf outside as he put on a coat, holding a giant dagger in a sheath.

"Mister Blackwolf, I'm Agent Gideon. These are agents Hotchner, Reid, and Noble-Valdez."

"You look like a college professor." Blackwolf said to Gideon and then looked at Spencer, "You look like his student." Then he looked at Hotch." You, you look like FBI." Then he looked at Zoe, "You look like a misbehaving student." Zoe shrugged.

"We're with the Behavioral Analysis Unit." Zoe said.

"Profilers should know better."

"How's that?"

"We don't do massacres. You do." Blackwolf said.

"Me, personally?" Hotch asked.

"Your government."

"We don't want massacres. Not any more than you do." Zoe said. "It's not fair to base us off our government." Then she thought for a moment and said, "Though to be fair, 'national hero' Christopher Columbus committed mass rape and genocide, among other things."

Blackwolf looked at her, narrowing her eyes as if trying to get a sense of her vibe. She just stared back, unwaveringly.

"Mister Blackwolf, we'd like for you to take a look at these photos and help us figure out how these kids were killed.

"You're not asking because I'm a cop." Blackwolf said.

"No, we're asking because you're an expert on Native American culture, particularly Apache Culture." Zoe deadpanned and handed him the photos, still never breaking eye contact.

"I don't base my opinion on pictures, Mister Hotchner. I have to walk the ground."

"Makes sense." Zoe said.

——————————————————————————————————

They approached the crime scene.

"We should start inside. Forensics says the outside's been contaminated from all the construction traffic."

"Of all the Native American tribes, the Apache were most renowned for their tracking ability." Spencer said, "It was said they could track a man or animal through any condition by simply noticing the slightest disturbance in the environment."

"It's profiling the dirt." Hotch said.

"It's more than that, Hotch." Zoe said.

"I notice you don't carry a gun." Spencer said.

"Twenty-one feet." Blackwolf said.

"What?" Spencer asked.

"Ask Agent Hotchner and Agent Noble, there. They're the real gun hands."

"Why do you say that?" Hotch asked.

"You carry two guns and I don't know how many you have but it's more than two."

"I like to be prepared." Zoe said.  "And it's Doctor Noble-Valdez."

"Any relation to the Valdezes?"

"Yes. The maximum distance an attacker with a knife can close in the time it takes to react, draw your side arm and fire is twenty-one feet.

"Inside twenty-one feet, I win. Outside 21, I have other options besides shooting a man."

"Like negotiating." Spencer said.

"Like running."

"I have more than just guns. It's not just one or the other. I only use them to protect myself and others. I've had more guns held to my head than you'd think. I was trained by Maze Valdez. She taught me to always be prepared. Always have a plan to kill everyone you meet in case they're planning on killing you first. And in my case, they usually are. I taught myself to be a weapon so the odds are usually in my favor." Zoe said. She wasn't following Blackwolf, she was walking with him, tracking with her own skills.

"You have other options."

"Of course, I do. Just because I have a plan to kill if I need it doesn't mean I'm going to. I'm a doctor. I try to save as many lives as I can. Some people just don't give you that choice." Zoe said. "And they're usually men."

"Why do you say I carry two guns?"  Hotch asked.

"Your right instep print's heavier than your left. And since you don't appear to have a club right foot..." Blackwolf said.

"You can't tell that from my footprints." Hotch said. "There's no perceptible difference between them."

"Your problem isn't with your prints. It's with your perception." Blackwolf said.

"Hey, can we get back to tracking or am I going to have to do it all myself?"  Zoe asked. "Am I going to have to solve the crime myself too?"

They went to the blood-soaked in the ground. Zoe was obviously annoyed with being with this company as Blackwolf observed the ground.

"What do you see?"

"There's a saying, 'Once too much blood has been spilled on the same ground, that ground develops a thirst for it'. This is all consistent with Native American warfare rituals. But it's not Apache." Blackwolf said and he stood up and handed Zoe the photos back, "Whoever did this carried out the most brutal practices of the Apache—Navajo, Comanche, Pueblo, and Sioux."

"No one tribe ever did them all. Not like this." Zoe said, her knowledge wasn't as extensive but she did know that.

"Real Indians would know that. This wasn't Indians." They started walking again, "And if you want to figure out who did this, it might help to know there was a sixth person in the house.

"Why do you say that?

"What did Maze Valdez teach you?"

"How to survive." Zoe said and then she spotted something and started walking forwards with intention.

"Female. Ninety, 95 pounds. Size six shoe. Fallen arches. She was walking alone when she was ambushed by two men." Blackwolf said as Zoe walked a good distance around the footprints.

"We also believe there were at least three suspects." Hotch said.

"Three? Yeah." Blackwolf scoffed. "Two over here plus at least six over there." He pointed behind them. "Because while these two carried this girl struggling to their vehicle to the east, at least six others ran single file to hide their numbers, from the west."

"So, you're saying that there were eight?" Hotch asked.

"At least."

"And one hostage."

——————————————————————————————————

They walked through the police station and Blackwolf spoke to Hotch, "Doctor Noble-Valdez trusted my ability, you didn't. You wanted to see how I'd behave at the scene of the crime. You can at least tell me how I did."

"Your lack of an emotional reaction at seeing the carnage leads me to believe you're innocent." Hotch said.

"A guilty man would have feigned disgust?"

"Exactly."

"You know what counting coup is?"

"No."

"The Apache knew they could easily prove their superiority by killing many of the enemy tribe. But they also knew killings would start a fierce blood feud which would result in the waste of lives and resources." Blackwolf explained.

"Makes sense." Hotch replied.

"So the Apache proved their superiority by counting coup, stealthily stealing property, usually horses, from right under the nose of their enemy. To the Apache, killing, unless absolutely necessary, was a sign of stupidity and weakness."

"If this is your way of saying you're not the killer, we already know that." Hotch said.

"So why am I still talking to you?" Blackwolf asked.

"Hotch." JJ approached, "So, if there was another girl out there, no one's reported her missing. None of the papers have received any claims of responsibility or ransom demands."

"We'd like for you to stay and help with the profile briefing." Hotch said.

"If it'll keep the FBI off the reservation, I'll stay."

——————————————————————————————————

They gave the profile with Spencer starting first, "Each torture ritual had specific religious significance, but only to the tribe that practiced it. It's highly unlikely that any one tribe would mix them all together like this."

"Meaning?" An officer asked.

"Whoever did this obviously had knowledge of Native American culture, but they had absolutely no practical understanding of it." Zoe explained.

"What we know is this pack shares a singular vision. Whether they share a religious faith, racist ideology, or political manifesto each member of this unit has surrendered its individual identity to the group." Morgan explained.

"It's the act of kidnapping that reveals the nature of this pack." Hotch said.

"From the German Red Brigade, to the Munich Olympics, to Iraqi insurgents, the act of kidnapping is a characteristic of political terrorist groups." Elle said.

"We could be looking for a domestic terrorist organization like the Symbionese Liberation Army that kidnapped Patty Hearst." Alexander said.

"But these are Native Americans, right?" The officer from before asked.

"I seriously doubt it. The torture and mutilation you see here are very confused imitations of warfare practiced by Native American tribes."

"You trying to tell us that Indians wouldn't be so brutal?

No. Zoe was descent from Aztecs who were known for having fearless warriors known for their ferocity and bravery in battle and they were known to sacrifice animals, but mostly humans, including children to their gods, most typically by slicing the heart out of the sacrificed and spilling their blood on the temple alter.

"No." Blackwolf said. "I'm saying that Indians wouldn't be so confused."

——————————————————————————————————

The team went into Rhodes' office with him.

"Can we really be sure he's right?" Rhodes asked.

"Well, I'm fairly certain Blackwolf wasn't in on it. But you don't need to be Einstein to realize these people were Native Americans, or they were people who made it look like Native Americans." Gideon said.

"Why would anyone want to frame these Native Americans?"

"Possibly to turn public opinion against them." Zoe said, "Jane Bear said that the developers had paid so many families to leave the reservation that they could barely fill a single class. Sheriff, you mentioned the Apache were fighting the land grab in court. Public opinion would be a significant factor."

"Is there anyone besides the developers who might be vehemently opposed to the Native Americans getting the land back?" Hotch asked.

"The ADU." Rhodes said.

"Who's that?"

"The American Defence Union. Founded by a local businessman named Roy Minton. They're like the Minutemen who patrol the borders. Only these guys blame everything on the Native American."

So like a certain politician [(and unfortunately future president-slash-future candidate for presidency for some reason) on everyone who isn't Caucasian or male.

"Who are the members?" Elle asked.

"Minton's people are mostly white, construction workers, building supply vendors, working class people that believe Native Americans are standing in the way of progress and commerce." Rhodes said.

"Well, that makes sense." Zoe deadpanned. Unfortunately the most common thing about Americans is that a White person that blames other races is usually not too far away.

"Whether they feel the Native Americans are standing in the way of progress, or profit or they're just genuine racists." JJ said, "I think Minton and the ADU are strong suspects.

"Let's bring Minton in." Hotch decided.

——————————————————————————————————

Hotch decided Zoe being from Aztec descent should come with them to interview Minton, though she didn't seem too enthusiastic about it as she met Hotch's usual deadpan gaze with her own deadpan gaze.

"Mister Minton, any idea who might be behind these killings?" Hotch asked Minton.

"The Indians have a history of violent behavior, especially the Apaches." Minton said as if it was a modern fact.

Native Americans. Zoe mentally corrected, hiding her distaste with her usual stoic (semi-)professionalism.

"Did you know that they used to kill white settlers? Decapitate the bodies. Put their victim's heads on wooden pikes outside their houses?"

“Yeah, and Christopher Columbus actually killed so many Native Americans that historians have stated it’s difficult to pinpoint but due to the combination of violence, enslavement, and disease following Colmbus’ arrival, it can be estimated that up to ninety percent of the native population died. Doesn’t make every Caucasian responsible for that.” Zoe said in her usual deadpan voice but there was a noticeable coldness to her tone. “It was a long time ago. You still seem pretty upset about it.”

Minton ignored the info about "national hero" Christopher Colmbus.

"That was the other night. My family has been dealing with the Apache for one hundred and fifty years." Minton said.

"You know, your rhetoric sounds just hateful enough to justify violence." Morgan said.

"We don't need to stoop to their level. We're fighting the Indians in court." Minton said.

"Is that right? Then why all the guns, Roy?" Morgan asked. "Our records show that your two hundred members carry over four-hundred-and-fifty firearms."

"We're simply exercising our constitutional right under the Second Amendment. We have the right to defend ourselves."

Zoe refrained from scrunching her nose as she had said something similar earlier. Only she had reason to carry firearms. She had been attacked so many times. So many people wanted her dead. Actively and in the past. She had been hurt by men who took advantage of owning guns and weapons that she

"Four-hundred-and-fifty guns, Roy. I don't think so." Morgan scoffed, "That's not self-defence. That's plain paranoid."

"Not anymore."

When they were done, they regrouped with the team at the police station.

"If Minton's as fanatical as he pretends to be, he wouldn't file lawsuits." Morgan stated.

"Or organize labor unions." Elle said.

"The Native Americans are keeping Minton and the members of the ADU from making a lot of money on the development and construction of the Apache land."

"I agree. He's using racist ideology to cover simple greed." Gideon said and turned to Rhodes, "Sheriff, I'd like you to put Minton under surveillance.

"You think he's guilty?" Rhodes asked.

"Not likely, but we've just given Minton reason to believe that some faction of the ADU may have taken matters into their own hands and Minton may lead us to them." Hotch explained.

Morgan's cell phone rang. "It's Garcia." He unclipped the phone from his belt and picked up, "Hey. What do you got? Okay. Nice job." He hung up, "Think we might have found our sixth victim."

——————————————————————————————————

Alexander, Zoe, Hotch, JJ, Morgan, and Elle went to Ingrid's father's house and he let them in. There was something off about him that Zoe just couldn't shake. Morgan went to look through Ingrid's old room.

"How old was Ingrid when your wife passed away?" Zoe asked Peter Greisen.

"Fourteen." He said.

"And then you raised her on your own?" Elle asked and he nodded.

"Why didn't you report your daughter as missing, Mister Greisen?" Alexander asked with a slight edge to his tone.

"I didn't know she was missing. She has her own place. She has her own life at school. Her own friends." Greisen explained.

"When was the last time you spoke?" Elle asked.

Griesen thought about for a second and said, "A couple weeks ago." And then he explained, "She's been going through a phase the past couple months. Distancing herself."

"Has anyone threatened Ingrid?" Elle asked.

"Not that I know of." He said.

"Have you received any menacing phone calls or seen anyone in the neighborhood? I mean, anything that's been unusual at all?" Zoe asked.

"No. Nothing like that."

"We have reason to believe the people who kidnapped your daughter may be politically motivated." Hotch said, "They killed those kids and they kidnapped Ingrid in the name of their cause."

"We think the first thing, or, the best thing, you can do to help your daughter is for you to go on the news."

"How will that help Ingrid?" He asked.

"If we can personalize Ingrid to the public, the public will take any harm that comes to her at the hands of the kidnappers personally." JJ explained. "Hurting her would hurt their cause."

"It will stop them from killing her?" He asked.

"It might."

——————————————————————————————————

They met up with Morgan in Ingrid's room.

"Hey."

"So?" Morgan asked.

"Fathers' blame themselves when their child is kidnapped. As irrational as it is, it's typical." Hotch said and Alexander and Zoe looked at him. "This guy didn't do that. Why not?"

"Well, in these situations, innocent parents, they don't hide their feelings of guilt, while guilty parents do." Alexander said.

"So we're thinking this guy's guilty?" Morgan asked.

"Of something." Hotch said.

——————————————————————————————————

While Greisen went on air, they continued to look through Ingrid's room for clues when Elle came in saying, "We've got a caller on the line."

"Has Greisen been prepped?"  Hotch asked.

"The caller doesn't want to speak to Greisen. In fact, he doesn't want Greisen to know that he's even calling."

Hotch took the phone, "This is Special Agent Aaron Hotchner."

"Yeah. We have Ingrid Greisen. We'll turn ourselves and the girl in under one condition." The man on the other end of the phone said.

"I'm listening."

"You don't tell Greisen about it."

"What does it matter to you what I tell Greisen?" Hotch asked.

"Because he paid us to kidnap her."

——————————————————————————————————

Alexander, Hotch, Elle, and Morgan brought the kidnappers in and got the girl to the hospital. Zoe heard she was nonresponsive. Morgan, Spencer, and Zoe went to the hospital while the rest of the team interviewed the kidnappers and the father.

As the three approached Ingrid's room, Morgan's phone rang. "It's Garcia."

"We got this." Spencer said.

"You sure?"

"Yeah. Yeah." Spencer nodded.

"Yeah, believe it or not, I have some experience with kidnapping trauma." Zoe said.

"Okay." Morgan said and answered his phone, "Yeah. Talk to me." He walked off and Zoe and Spencer went to Ingrid's room.

Zoe looked through the window on the door to see the young blonde woman in the bed. She was awake, just staring in front of her.

Zoe mentally flashed back to the following days at the hospital after she escaped those eight months. It was a blur to her but she could remember seeing the pictures of her, she didn't look at the camera but past them, just into space.

Spencer opened the door and held it open for Zoe. She approached Ingrid, muttering a thank you to Spencer.

"Hello Ingrid. I'm Doctor Spencer Reid, this is Doctor Zoe Noble-Valdez. We're with the FBI and we were wondering if you could..."

"Griesen, Ingrid. nine-four-three-two-three-nine-four-eight-seven."

Spencer and Zoe looked at each other to confirm that they both heard this insanity that sounded like it came from a computer.

"Excuse me?" Spencer asked.

She looked at them and spoke more slowly, if it wasn't for the utterly blank look in her eyes and tone in her voice, she almost would've sounded annoyed that she had to repeat it, "Griesen, Ingrid. nine-four-three-two-three-nine-four-eight-seven."

"Can I see your hands?" Zoe asked, she didn't wait for a response and took Ingrid's hand, examining her hand. Zoe stroked her hands over Ingrid's palm and then her fingertips, feeling the grooves of Ingrid's fingerprints under her own fingertips. She didn't find what she had been fearing to find... to both her relief and disappointment.

She gently placed Ingrid's hand back on the bed and looked at Spencer, gesturing for the door.

Spencer still confused nodded and they left without another word.

"What's up?" Morgan asked, approaching, confused as to why they were out so soon.

"She's brainwashed." Zoe said at once. "Cult, most likely."

"Why'd you ask to see her hands?" Spencer asked.

"It's not the same cult as the one they built around me." Zoe said.

"How do you know?" Morgan asked.

Zoe hesitated, her jaw clenching, then she sighed and held up her hand, “She still has her fingerprints.” She held up her hand, “one of the first things they did once the cult was built was that they burned off my fingerprints with acid. It was a long shot, anyways."

Spencer gently took Zoe's hand and saw she had no fingerprints.

"I..."

"Don't." She pulled her hand back, on guard, "Just call Hotch." They didn't move. "Call Hotch!" She snapped.

Morgan took his phone out and turned away from them as Spencer gave Zoe puppy-dog eyes.

"Ingrid isn't catatonic anymore, but she's answering every question with only her name and Social Security number." Morgan told Hotch through the phone. There's more. Garcia did some checking. Ingrid hasn't been enrolled in school for over a year. She had good grades. Just suddenly dropped out and vacated her campus apartment. She left no forwarding, Hotch. We have no idea where or how she's been living."

——————————————————————————————————

Ingrid had been in a cult and the Greinsen intended on bringing Ingrid to a deprogrammer and he feared that the cult had been responsible for the killings but didn't want his daughter to go to jail. During the night Minton and his family was attacked and the police officer patrolling them was killed.

They went back to the police station to update the profile now that they knew a cult was involved.

"We're looking for the cult leader. Typically men between the age twenty-five and thirty-five with a high level of intelligence." Zoe said as cults were her specialty. "A sociopathic underachiever with an extremely abusive childhood. And obviously someone with an interest in, and an affinity for Apache culture and rituals."

"Look for males with criminal records for lesser type crimes." Morgan said as Zoe crossed her arms, she had put her motorcycle gloves on now because Spencer kept looking at her hands in sympathy. "Drug possession, petty theft."

"What about school records?" JJ asked, "The victims from the first crime scene went to Terra Mesa University? Maybe the leader was there, too."

"That's great." Elle said, standing up, "Look for students who studied Native American cultures extensively."

"We need to do it all." Morgan said, "With this second strike it could be a spree."

Zoe had to excuse herself now that her part of the profile was done, she had to meet up with Blackwolf, Hotch, and Ingrid at the house where the family was killed.

——————————————————————————————————

Zoe got off her motorcycle, glancing at the house. She went to take off her gloves before stopping and changing her mind. She approached Rhodes, Blackwolf, and Hotch who had just arrived too.

"Sorry about your man, Jim." Blackwolf said.

"I appreciate that." Rhodes said.

"That her?"

"She won't give us anything, but her name and her Social.

"Thanks." Blackwolf said."

Okay. They're ready. Everybody out." he called to the officers and went to the car and yanked Ingrid out, "Come with me! My friend wants to show you something." He pulled Ingrid to Hotch, Zoe, and Blackwolf

"Ingrid, my name is John Blackwolf.

"I know who you are." Ingrid said, the first words other than her name and social. "You are the son of Benjamin Blackwolf of the Chiricahua Apache.

"Come with me." Blackwolf said and turned to head into the house.

They walked through the hall of the house, next to a cluster of pictures of the kids was smeared with blood as the family had tried to escape. They walked past it and into one of the daughter's room.

"What do think happened here, Ingrid?"

Ingrid looked around, the books and trophies had lines of blood on them when the girl had been stabbed, blood was splattered on the white curtains, lots of blood was stained onto the bed, on the girl's paintings. Her name had been Nicole.

Ingrid looked back at Blackwolf and said, "I think three little trespassers met the vengeful blade of the tribe."

"What tribe would that be?" Hotch asked.

"There are only two people. The Apache, and those who trespass against us." Ingrid said.

"You're not Apache, Ingrid." Blackwolf said.

"No. You are not Apache." She argued, "Not anymore. Grandfather tested me. He sent me to the desert mountains to be blessed by the Ga'he. The Gahe have brought Grandfather back to us, build his new tribe to reclaim the sacred land for the Apache."

"Where is Grandfather?" Hotch asked.

"Did Grandfather ever tell you where the name 'Apache' comes from? It comes from the Zuni word 'apachu,' it means 'enemy'. And if Grandfather knew the first thing about the real Apache he would have taught you to refer to us as the 'diné'. It means, 'the people'."

"Grandfather said that you and all the living Apache are like the Jews of old, lost and wandering the desert in search of their Messiah. And he has come..." She argued but Blackwolf cut her off by speaking over her.

"The diné don't believe in a Messiah."

"You were lied to, Ingrid." Zoe said.

"The Ga'he..." Ingrid started.

"Don't use a word you don't understand. The Ga'he are not magic fairies. They are not gods as you understand them." Blackwolf said and he grabbed one of Nicole's shirts covered in her blood and held it up to Ingrid and he grabbed her harshly with her other hand, having her squeak in fear. Zoe refrained herself from jumping in as Blackwolf shouted, "This is not the blood of an enemy! This is the blood of a little girl just like you are. You've been fed bits and pieces of a culture you don't understand."

"You don't know." She said when Blackwolf let her go."

"What we do know is that you've been manipulated and exploited by a very disturbed individual." Hotch said.

"You are a liar!" She cried and she turned back to Blackwolf, "You have disavowed your ancestors. Only those who dwell in the dead lands deserve to live!"

Blackwolf looked at Hotch and Zoe.

——————————————————————————————————

Zoe was helping Garcia find potential cult leaders while Spencer looked through the paper files while the others figured out where the cult may be.

"Stop looking at my hands." She said, without looking up.

"Sorry. It's just... they should've grown back."

"Minor burns or injuries usually don't permanently change them. They didn't understand that. Within a few weeks, they were growing back and they burned them again and again. Until I stop screaming. I finally explained it to them. It would take a third-degree burn or other serious injury that affect all the layers of skin that the fingerprint is encoded into. At least five. Three months in and they had burned nine layers and, they're gone." Zoe explained.

"I'm sorry."

"I know you are, Spencer. I don't need your pity. I don't want your pity. It's been five years. I've accepted it. I just..."

"How were you never converted?"

"I wasn't a victim of the cult. I... I was the inspiration for it. Because I refused to break. If I was ever innocent, they took it from me but I still refused to break and I continued to fight, when they would've broken. They were broken and my fight confused them and so the cult formed. Even if they tried, I knew the truth." Zoe said, "Here's someone. Jackson Cally."

Spencer moved his chair to look at her screen.

"He was expelled from TMU six months before the others for drug possession and there was a string of colleges before. Every single one, he studied religion and Native American culture and he was in a seminar on Native American culture with Ingrid Greisen and look, John Blackwolf guest lectured." He read.

"Send it to Garcia. "

——————————————————————————————————

Zoe went with Hotch, Elle, Morgan, Blackwolf, Rhodes, and other officers to an abandoned motel off of Route 29 that Blackwolf speculated might have be where the cult was.

They kicked the door down and went through the darkened motel until Hotch found someone. A man with his back to them his arms behind him

"FBI! Don't move! Put your hands out to the side and turn around very slowly." Hotch said and Cally held his arms out. "Jackson Cally?" Zoe, Morgan, and Elle entered the room behind him. "Grandfather?"

Cally finally turned around.

"There's no one else here, Hotch." Morgan said.

"Where are the others?" Zoe asked.

"Hunting." Cally said.

—————————————————————————————————

Zoe was on the phone with Spencer as he read the paper file that he printed of what Garcia had pulled up. "Jackson Gordon Cally, thirty-two years old. Spent most of his childhood moving from foster home to foster home."

"Hang on a second. I'm going to put you on speaker." She said and pushed the button, "Go ahead, Spence."

"Simply another sad, but unremarkable statistic aside from the fact that he had an IQ of 189." Spencer said. Zoe was unimpressed.

"Any criminal record?"

"At eighteen, he spent twenty-two months in prison for auto theft. I just spoke to the warden at the prison. Said when he was there he found religion and began preaching to his fellow inmates. And that he once convinced a mass murderer he was doing time with to beat to death an inmate that was threatening Cally."

Zoe was still unimpressed. That wasn't surprising. Cult leaders were known to be rather persuasive.

"Ever since he was a child, this guy just survived on cunning, force of personality." Gideon said.

"He spent twenty-two months in the clink. Was released and then bounced from university to university studying, you guessed it, Native American cultures." Spencer said.

"Okay, thanks, Spence." Zoe said and hung up.

Cally reminded her of an unremarkable version of her ex-boyfriend. High IQ. Highly persuasive. Abusive childhood. Underachiever. Criminal record.

"What's his connection to the Apache?" Blackwolf asked.

"Aside from taking your class? Nothing that they could find." Zoe said. "With sociopaths like Cally, there is no connection."

"If it hadn't been Apache he would've found some other culture to attract and manipulate his followers." Hotch said

"Like Manson, Cally's been forced to become an expert profiler of sorts. He reads the people around him. He finds a way in, and then he brainwashes them to serve his needs." Zoe explained.

"And the only way to figure out his game is to play it." Hotch said, "I'm going to give him exactly what he wants."

"What's that?" Elle asked.

"An audience. Zoe, you have experience with cult leaders?" Hotch asked.

Zoe stared at him, unamused at Hotch-levels.

"Alright, but I have a suspicion. Give me a moment."

——————————————————————————————————

Zoe sat in a chair in front of Cally, the moment she sat down, his eyes flickered to her necklace, a Day of the Dead necklace, she didn't have her leather jacket on and had her shirt sleeves rolled up slightly, revealing her alebrije wolf tattoo on one shoulder and her tattoo of Santa Meurta on the other.

"Hello Mister Cally, I'm Special Agent Doctor Zoe Noble-Valdez with the FBI." She said.

"You know, I've spent my whole life talking to cops and doctors. There's something different about you. You're not just a cop or a doctor. Are you?" He said.

"You're very perceptive." She said, only barely meaning it.

"So what are you?"

"I'm a profiler."

"So am I."

"You're not the leader, are you?"

"No. That'd be the suit back there, Special Agent Aaron Hotchner."

"But your colleagues still respect you a great deal. They think you're very smart but you also scare them a little. You worry them. You're a mystery to them that they can't quite profile."

Zoe raised her eyebrows.

Cally looked at Hotch, "And they look at you to find all the answers. Leadership is a grave responsibility."

"Well, they don't call me Grandfather." Hotch remarked.

"Well, in my tribe, Grandfather is simply another word for 'teacher'."

"Did you teach your tribe to murder?" Zoe asked.

"No, I don't teach murder. I teach love. Love of land. Love of ancestors. Love of the tribe. These trespassers poison the land. You know the Day of the Dead stems from Aztec beliefs."

"I did know that. I'm from Aztec descent from my mother's side." Zoe said.

"Not many do. The remaining Aztecs have forgotten who they are. But the Apache will soon remember who they are and they will hunt these trespassers off their land until no one but the Apache remain."

Blackwolf stepped up, "You think you speak for the Apache, but you're nothing, but a coward and a killer."

"I haven't killed anyone." Cally chuckled.

"Your tribe killed a family last night. A mother, a father, and three little girls. Ages, five, eight, and eleven." Zoe said, "Do you think that your little tribe is going to wage a war with all the white people in this state?"

"Pretty soon, we won't have to." Cally said

"Why's that?" Hotch asked.

He turned to Blackwolf. "What's going to happen when the angry white men come to the doors of your children blaming you for the killing of their people? What are you going to do? Call the cops? No. You're going to string them up. You're going to put their heads on poles and rape their women just like the savage animal you really are. Like the savage animal your father was before they shot him down."

Blackwolf grabbed Cally by the front and slammed him against the wall. Zoe only looked mildly interested in what was happening while Morgan shouted, "No, Blackwolf."

Morgan pulled him off as Zoe got up and stepped up to Cally.

"And you! You're just like your ancestors. Who sacrificed children by cutting out their hearts while they were still alive. By eating their flesh!"

"I'm a vegetarian." She remarked and walked past him with Hotch outside to Blackwolf.

"Let me in with him, alone." Blackwolf said, "I'll get him talking."

"You've done more than we could have hoped for." Zoe reassured him.

Hotch turned to Morgan and Elle, "You guys take Cally down to the Sheriff's Office."

"You tell that man he's welcome on my reservation any time." Blackwolf growled, pointing.

"Cally's a racist. That's why I took my jacket off. To show my tattoos. Not all Mexicans are from Aztec descent but I just happen to be and he could make that assumption if he studied Native American cultures. You just tipped him over the edge." Zoe explained. "It was never about the Apache. It's just about power and control."

——————————————————————————————————

It turns out a bunch of guns were missing from Minton's house. The cult was going to stage an ADU attack against Native Americans since the ADU didn't actually attack anyone.

"The school's our most vulnerable target." Blackwolf said.

"Cally likes killing kids." Zoe scoffed.

They got out and walked through a dark room of the school. Blackwolf heard Hotch taking out his gun.

"Put that away."

"What?" Hotch asked.

"You don't need it." Blackwolf turned to them. "Use your baton. There are many paths to the same place. Trust me."

"Just so you know, you sound like a fortune cookie." Hotch deadpanned.

"You asked what Maze Valdez taught me. It was how to be the ultimate weapon. I don't need a gun. The Aztecs have fearless warriors known from their ferocity and bravery but they did it to protect their tribe. Our best bet is stealth. Pick them off one by one. My cousin is a modern ninja. Stealth is my specialty." Zoe said.

——————————————————————————————————

When the cult members arrived, the one classroom was empty. Zoe slammed a door shut, bringing one closer and she punched him in the carotid sinus, a pressure point in the front of the neck. When pressure is applied it can trigger carotid sinus syncope, a response that causes fainting, it can happen even if someone were to wear a tight collar. If this pressure point is struck, the body’s receptors are confused into thinking the body’s blood pressure is too high and the body attempts to correct this by suddenly dropping blood pressure which can lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and then fainting.

Zoe led a few away while Hotch took out one and then pulled another into a classroom. Blackwolf pulled the rifle from another and the cult member took out his knife, Blackwolf took out hers.

Zoe had three following her, not sure if they had someone. She circled around a shelf and grabbed one, pulling behind it and hitting their head against the wall.

"Who's there?" A member shouted but Zoe was gone.

She grabbed another's rifle, kneeing them in the groin and kicking them away. He and the other member watched as without looking she pulled the ammo and threw the gun aside.

Then there was a gunshot. Hopefully, by Hotch, Zoe looked away and the last member holding their gunshot at her but she rolled out of the way and she spun when she shot again, dodging the bullets until the gun went click, click, click.

The first member she had disarmed lunged at her but Zoe simply grabbed his hand, twisting it to just to the point of intense pain, making him shout in pain but the most terrifying part was the intense look of hatred in Zoe's eyes, that they would attempt to come and kill children. The other member ran at her and Zoe pushed the first member into them, making sure to hit their heads together.

Hotch and Blackwolf showed up, having heard the shots and had become concerned but Zoe was still standing unhurt.

"You took out three at once?"

Zoe just shrugged.

Zoe tied up all the members, tightly so they would have no chance of escape and applied pressure on the woman's wound that Hotch had shot to keep her from shooting Blackwolf

The rest of the team arrived as the three were sitting in front of the school.

"The children?" Gideon asked.

"They're fine." Hotch said.

"Did you actually think I'd let any of them get hurt?" Zoe asked.

"We got them out before they got here. We took down these six." Hotch said.

"Without firing a shot?" Spencer asked.

"Captain America here shot number five." Blackwolf said, looking at Hotch.

"You're welcome."

"And one of them shot all their bullets at Zoe and missed." Blackwolf said.

"They're not exactly a sniper with a gun." Zoe dismissed.

"Number six is cut up pretty bad. I don't think he's going to make it." Hotch said.

"At least I didn't shoot him." Blackwolf muttered.

"I think I'd rather be shot." Morgan remarked.

"One of them has a broken wrist and a concussion, two of them have just a concussion, and one of them has an injured caroid sinus." Zoe said.

"There's an old Apache saying, 'You can take many paths to get to the same place'." Hotch said.

[criminalmindsgonewrong]

twelve things that didn't break aaron hotchner and the one that almost did is Hotch angst with a happy Hotchniss ending.

The States Game is a cutie team fic based on That Friends Episode.

Heat is the only 'only one bed' fic i've ever written. it's just pure, unadulterated, shameless, steamy Hotchniss smut.

every lover's game is what happens after you send the girl you fancy in to flirt with a creepy guy called Viper. it's pure filth. it's great. probably my favourite filth i've written. you're welcome.

trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat is angsty Hotchniss smut. like I earned the angsty smut tag on this one.

when it rains, it pours - more angsty Hotchniss smut. back from Paris, emily is struggling. then comes a storm.

Coming Home is wholesome Jemily smut.

Stress Relief and Debriefing are just pure Emily/Luke smut.

꘎♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ♡꘎

A flowing river of blue, the smell off wildflowers blowing in the breeze, and the chirping of birds flying overhead. And then… pain? No longer were you in a calm meadow garden, outside of a homey cottage. Instead you are sat alone, inside of your art room, suddenly aware of the pain in your legs.

You had been so immersed in finishing the last details of the painting you had started weeks ago, that you had lost track of time. You had been staring at it so intently, trying to look for flaws to perfect, it had almost felt like you were there. You hadn’t been at home just then, you were transported into your work of art relaxed and undisturbed within the canvas.

It was light outside when you began working. You remembered hearing the sound of people strolling the streets and children playing in the nearby park. Now however, the sky was beginning to darken and the streets were almost silent, other than the sound of the odd car driving past. The outside world was proof enough that you had been sat too long, without a single break to stretch your legs.

Had you not been so wrapped up in your painting, you would’ve remembered to take a walk or go for a snack to prevent the intense pain you were currently feeling. Aaron always reminded you to do so.

Speaking of Aaron, you desperately hoped he would be home soon, you knew the pain would only intensify once you started moving around, and you wanted nothing more than for him to be there to comfort you. He was so wonderfully helpful when you needed comfort. He was your rock and no matter how you were feeling, he always managed to make you feel somewhat better. He had researched the best ways to reduce the pain you often felt and despite how tired he may be from work, he always made the time to make sure you were safe and content.

Stretching out a paint speckled arm, you reached for your phone prepared to text Aaron to see if he would be home soon, he was due back to his evening. But once again he proved to be the best husband you could ask for, as not even a second after grabbing your phone, you heard the front door opening. Perfect timing.

The sound of the door shutting quietly, a bag hitting the ground and the locks of the door being set, you knew it was your husband finally back from the week long case he had been on with the team.

“Sweetheart?” his voice was soft and carried some tiredness with it, you knew this had been a tough case for him and immediately felt guilty for wanting his comfort and attention when he had only just returned home. You knew how hard he worked and didn’t want to burden him. So instead you decided you would greet your husband and try your best to hide the pain as not to worry him. Though with a skilled profiler as a husband, you knew this was wishful thinking.

When you went to stand, you hissed as an intense pain shot through your knees, causing them to buckle. Luckily, Aaron had come in search of you, having not heard a reply when he called out for you. Just as you were about to fall back to the ground you had previously been occupying, you immediately felt arms wrap around your frame, engulfed in the scent of your husbands cologne.

“Hey, take your time. It’s ok let me help you”. There goes your plan of hiding the pain. Aaron immediately knew what was wrong and slowly supported you to stand. Once you were fully elevated he wrapped his arms around you in a tight embrace, holding most of your weight off of your knees. Despite the fact that Aaron repeatedly told you to stretch your legs to prevent this from happening, he wasn’t going to lecture you. You were in pain and he just wanted to bring you comfort, so he didn’t say anything. He just held you close and softly began to play with your hair the way that you liked.

The mixture of love you felt from Aaron’s care and the pain you were feeling in your legs caused tears to appear in your waterline. Aaron immediately shifted into gear, wanting to reduce the pain as much as possible, “how about we take a little walk hm? Just around the apartment. Give your legs a chance to stretch and I’ll tell you all about how much I missed you while I was gone?” You smiled and nodded in response through the tears. He always knew how to make you feel better.

Aaron didn’t rush you, he didn’t leave you to take care of yourself. Instead he lovingly wrapped an arm around your waist and let you set the pace as you walked out of your art room and into the kitchen. Though this caused the pain to intensify, you knew that in the long run it would help. So as you grimaced and slowly treaded through the pain, Aaron kept to his word and informed you of how awful it was to be away from you for the week. You laughed as he mentioned that he was caught looking at the picture of you he kept in his wallet by Morgan and he was teased by the team for the rest of the case. He told you that instead of ordering his original coffee from the coffee shop near the precinct, he ordered your favourite drink. It was too sweet for him and didn’t wake him up as much as he liked, but it made him feel closer to you.

As you approached the front door on your walk, near where he’d left his bag, Aaron reached inside and hid his hands behind his back, something grasped tightly in his fist.

“After we wrapped up the case I saw these in a store window and they made me think of you. One for me and one for you”. Aaron brought his hand in front of you both and opened it, revealing 2 key rings that looked to be a matching pair. One of them was a key shape, and the other a locket. You knew these weren’t the kind of thing Aaron cared for at all, in fact he found them extremely cheesy. But he knew you loved small things like this and just wanted to see you smile.

And smile you did. You looked from the keyrings in Aaron’s large hand, then back up to his eyes, a large grin on your face. You couldn’t believe the reputation Aaron had at work as the stoic grouchy boss. How could anyone describe this man (who was currently staring at you with a soft smile on his face and some tacky keyrings in his hand) as anything other than perfect? That’s what he was to you. Perfect. He was always thinking of you and you could not be more grateful.

“I love them” you whispered, Aaron didn’t respond, he just looked lovingly into your eyes and continued along with you on your walk to the living room. At this point, whilst your legs still ached, you found it hard not to focus on how happy you were with your partner. It was hard not to be happy around him. Your tears had eased up and had instead been replaced with a loving stare directed at your husband.

Once you had done a lap of the apartment, Aaron suggested a bath together to soothe your joints, which you quickly agreed to. He sat you on the side of the bathtub as he messed with the taps and added some bubbles, just the way you liked it. Once the bath was ready he held your hand and helped you in, slipping in himself afterwards, your back leaning against his chest. Not many words were exchanged, they didn’t need to be. You both knew exactly what you wanted to say ‘I love you so much’, ‘thank you for loving me’, ‘I’m so grateful to have you in my life’. Instead, Aaron softly hummed as he gently scrubbed away the paint from your body and placed soothing kisses along the back of your neck. You felt so safe and at home here within his arms.

Once the water began to turn cold, you and Aaron stepped out of the bathtub and he wrapped a towel around you.

“Your painting looked beautiful by the way” he whispered as you both prepared to brush your teeth and get settled for bed.

Despite being together for 7 years, he still made you feel giddy with his compliments. Turning to face him, a small thank you passed your lips. He was always so supportive of whatever hobby you picked up and loved to shower you in the compliments he believed you so deeply deserved.

The two of you soon got settled into bed and Aaron wrapped you into his arms, “how are you feeling honey? Any better?” he questioned.

Placing a soft kiss to his bare chest, you sighed in sleepy contentment before nodding your head. “You always make me feel better.”

“I just wish I was here more often for you” Aaron sighed. You knew he felt guilt about leaving you alone whilst he went away with the team, but even if he wasn’t with you, you rarely felt alone. Even at his busiest, he made time, even for something as small as an ‘I love you’ text or a ‘have a good day’ message.

“You’re perfect for me Aaron, please don’t doubt that. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me” you sleepily replied, meaning every word. He gazed at your tired face and drooping eyes and saw that you were on the verge of sleep. Aaron swore he’d never seen anything so beautiful in his life. He felt so overwhelmed with love that he felt emotional. Pulling you closer, he placed a soft goodnight kiss against your lips. “I love you sweetheart”, but you had already drifted off.

But even though you didn’t hear it, that didn’t matter. He didn’t have to say it. You knew. You’d never felt more loved in your life, Aaron loved you and he never let you forget it.

*I made the gif of Maze from Lucifer but I did not make the video it's from. I just like how the person who made the video did the text and that credit goes to them. I couldn't find a gif or picture of Maze from Lucifer saying this line which is insane because it's one of my favorites of her lines and Maze has some pretty funny lines. But I also I wanted this picture because it shows what kind of person Zoe's cousin is. She's a badass and she doesn't follow the rules and she'll snark while at it. I got the picture off of a humor video of season four of Lucifer. So this does not belong to me nor any of the other pictures or gifs.*

*I might change Callie's name. It was originally supposed to be like a space name but I just feel like it doesn't fit anymore.*

*Callie's name has offically been changed to Zarah (Like Sarah but with a "Z")*

*Added this to Archive of Our Own and added some gifs.* *The second Elle one is grainer because I had to reduce the file size for Tumblr.*

Wasteland

Almost twenty-two years ago, Haley Brooks and Aaron Hotchner had their first child. They weren’t ready to become parents, so they put her up for adoption. Weeks before her twenty-second birthday, Callie Moore graduates from the FBI Academy at Quantico only to return home to a grieving sister and two open adoption records. Or, the one where Callie has been following the BAU since witnessing a murder as a child. Turns out, she’s not only a recent graduate of the FBI Academy, but Aaron Hotchner’s firstborn.

Begins in early Season Six. Picks up later in early Season Twelve.
