Citizen/Soldier
Prompt: Citizen/Soldier- 3 Doors Down
Chapter 1: Citizen
Reid sat in the bar with the rest of the team. They had just come back from a long case, and they all needed to relax. Garcia was telling a joke about something Morgan had done. Hotch was sitting next to Emily. They had been dating for a while, now. Dave and JJ were sitting together, as well. They had been dating for almost two weeks.
Beyond the boundaries of your cities lights stand the heroes waiting for your cries.
So many times you did not bring this on yourself.
When that moment finally comes,
I'll be there to help.
"Hey, Reid." Morgan said.
"Yeah?"
"Do you have any plans for the weekend?"
"Yeah. I was going to visit my mother. I haven't seen her in a while, and I thought it would be nice to visit."
"Oh, that's nice. Your mother is really nice. Have fun."
"Thanks, Morgan."
On that day, when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here.
Citizen/soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we shelter.
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.

Reid was at JJ's house. He was going to watch his grandson, Henry, while JJ went out with Dave. She broke up with Will a while ago and he saw Henry once in a while. Reid didn't know why they broke up, he just knew that she was happy with Dave.
While JJ was out, Reid played games with Henry, read to him, and fed him. He loved Henry. He loved spending time with him. Reid put Henry to sleep and twenty minutes later JJ came home.
For when there are people crying in the street,
For when they're starving for a meal to eat.
For when they simply need a place to make their beds,
Right here beneath my wing,
You can rest your head.
JJ and Reid started to talk.
"So, Reid, how are your headaches?"
"They're getting better. I don't know what to do. The doctor says that there is nothing physically wrong. He wants to do a psych analysis. What if I-I...have schizophrenia?
"Spence, it's okay. We're all here for you. Don't worry we'll help you. But nothing bad is going to happen."
"Thanks, JJ."
And on that day, when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here.
