So I got this idea and you know how I am, once an idea gets in my head I have to write it.
If my typing is off it's because my fingers are frozen. :D
This part of the story is set during the four months between Fisher King Part 2 and P911. The rest of the story is five years after season 3? I think.
Nope, I STILL don't own Criminal Minds.

Elle Greenaway woke up when she heard a knock at her door. She had been out of the hospital for two days and she was already driving herself insane. There was NOTHING to do.
"Coming!" She called getting up off of her couch where she had fallen to sleep. She let out a small groan at the stabbing pain that washed through her as she put some weight on her arm. She made a mental note not to use that arm to get up off of the couch again.
"Hey Elle." Reid said nervously when Elle answered the door. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, what are you doing here?" She asked, she hadn't expected him to be at her door.
"I thought you might be, uh, bored?" He said raising his eyebrows in that adorable manner he always did.
"Yeah, I was napping." She said, she could see the look of regret in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you!" He said taking a step back from the door.
"No it's okay, I wasn't really tired anyways." She lied. "Come in, please." She said motioning him into the house, he obeyed.
"So," He said nervously. "what have you been up to?" He asked sitting down on her couch, there was some blood on it, her blood.
"I have just been sitting around here, watching TV." She said sitting down next to him.
"What have you been watching?" He asked.
"Nothing of interest, Soup, Who's Line is it Anyways reruns." She said smiling a little when he looked at her like she was from outer space.
"What's 'Soup'?" He asked.
"It's a show where they make fun of all the stupid things people do on TV shows. It's funny, and they mostly show soap opera's and reality TV." She said, Reid nodded, still not getting it. "Never mind." She said, "Do you want some tea, or coffee?" She asked, she watched Reid's eyes light up like a kid on Christmas morning when she said 'coffee'.
"Coffee please." He said. Elle got up off the couch to make him some coffee. She came back a few minutes later with a cup of coffee for Reid and a cup of tea for her.
"Here you go." She said handing him the cup. She watched nervously as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Elle, this is perfect." He said sighing with pleasure.
"Really?" She asked sitting down next to him. She still wasn't aloud to drink coffee, much to her chagrin.
"Mmhmm." He said taking another sip of his coffee. She smiled as she watched him enjoy his coffee. He looks so adorable when he… where did that come from?! She thought to herself. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, my shoulder is a little sore is all." She lied, it was only half true.
"Don't you have pain medication?" Reid asked eyeing her with concern.
"Yeah, but I took it four hours ago, so I have to wait two more hours before I take anymore." Elle said sadly.
"Oh." Reid said sympathetically. Elle nodded. "Well I have to be going." Reid said.
"What? Why?" She asked, he had only been there for a few minutes.
"I'm supposed to meet Morgan at a bar in ten minutes, I'm going to be late." Reid said.
"Can I go with you?" Elle asked.
"I don't know." Reid said.
"Please, I won't drink anything." She whined.
"Fine." Reid sighed standing up.
"Thanks! Let me go change real quick." She said walking down the hall towards her bedroom. When she came back she was dressing in a skintight black t-shirt and hip huggers. Damn Elle. Reid thought to himself, Why do you have to be so beautiful?
"Wow." He said, he was awestruck.
"Do I look okay?" She asked.
"Yeah." Reid chocked.
"Lets go." Elle said walking ahead of him to the door. Mostly to hide her smile.

"Hey Morgan!" JJ called from across the bar, she and Garcia had just arrived. Hotch was supposed to be here soon, and Reid should have been here ten minutes ago.
"Where's Reid?" Garcia asked looking around the crowded bar.
"He hasn't gotten here get." Morgan said from where he sat.
"Really?" JJ asked, she was concerned, Reid was never late.
"Yeah, oh wait there he is!" Morgan said pointing at the door. "And… Elle?" He asked, he had invited Elle but she had said she wanted to rest…
"Hey guys." Elle said smiling at the group.
"Hey Elle, I thought you were resting." Morgan said eyeing her suspiciously.
"I was, but now I'm not." Elle said.
"I called you forty minutes ago." Morgan reminded her. Reid looked at Elle with surprise.
"If you wanted to rest you shouldn't have come." Reid said apologetically.
"It's okay I wanted to." Elle said glaring at Morgan. "Good going." She whispered angrily to Morgan.
"What?" Morgan asked perplexed.
"You know how he is." Elle scolded.
"Sorry." He said, though he didn't sound sorry.
"Hey Reid, you want to dance?" Elle asked.
"I… uh…" Reid stuttered, he did not want to dance.
"Please?" She asked.
"Fine." Reid said reluctantly. JJ and Garcia eyed Reid suspiciously.
"What is going on with them?" Garcia asked.
"I have no idea." Morgan said watching them go to the dance floor. They all laughed when they watched Reid nervously dance with Elle, he wasn't very good. They saw Elle wince at the same time Reid did.
"Are you okay?" Reid asked nervously from across the room.
"Yeah." Elle chocked. Her shoulder hurt, a lot.
"Do you need to sit down?" He asked, his eyes were filled with concern.
"No, no, I don't want to have to listen to Morgan teasing us all evening." Elle said.
"W…why would he tease… us?" He asked nervously.
"Because we came here together, and when he called earlier I said I wouldn't come yet… here I am." She said. Reid became even more nervous.
"O…oh." Reid chocked. Elle laughed at the look on his face.
"Relax." She whispered in his ear, sending shivers through his body. The more they danced the more relaxed he became.
"You okay?" He asked a little later.
"Yeah." She sighed resting her head on Reid's shoulder.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes, I just left my pain medication at home." She said smiling weakly.
"Do you need me to drive you home?" He asked.
"Yeah, I could just catch a cab." She said.
"No I'll drive you!" He insisted.
"Thanks." Elle said smiling gratefully. Then they turned to the door and left the crowded bar.

"Here you go." Reid said pulling up to Elle's house.
"Could you walk me in there?" Elle asked trying her best to cover the fear in her voice, but her eyes gave her away.
"Of course." Reid said getting out of his car.
"Thanks." She sighed, he could see she was afraid of going into the house.
"Could you go first?" She asked when they got to the door.
"Yeah." He said, he opened the door once she had unlocked it. He scanned the flashlight through the house before turning on the light. He told Elle to sit down on the couch while he checked the rest of the house. Once he was sure that no one was in the house he walked back out to the living room.
"It's all clear?" She asked Reid nodded. "You're sure?"
"Yes Elle, no one is in the house." Reid said walking towards the door.
"Please don't go?" She asked, he had never seen Elle look so scared.
"I guess I could stay for a little while." Reid said.
