AN: I rewatched kill bill and got to thinking about revenge. What makes a person snap and what would they do to retaliate. I especially wondered what would someone as sweet as Garcia do. It's definitely AU and there is age differences for all the members. Although definitely inspired by kill bill, it will be different. I don't own criminal minds.

"Revenge is never a straight line. It's a forest, And like a forest it's easy to lose your way... To get lost... To forget where you came in."

Revenge has been said to be a dish best served cold- but maybe it's a dish best simply served. At least that's how she is feeling. A feeling she never anticipated, but damn did it feel good. She wondered how was that possible, looking around at the mutilated bodies. The aftermath of one hell of a fight. Cleaning herself up, picking up her weapons- she thought back to the beginning of it all. Five years is a long time for revenge but prep time was necessary.

Flashback

The day had been long and tough. This last case was hard, women were being kidnapped, held for 3 days then left at the hospital beaten and raped but with no memory of what happen. The unsubs covered their tracks well. Penelope was stumped, and she's rarely felt this useless, but these guys were basically ghost. The latest victim also had no recollection of what happened and what she could remember was fuzzy as best. After 3 weeks of relentless effort it appeared that the unsubs had moved on and stopped. For the time being it seemed so and that bothered the BAU even more. The team had just landed, as Penelope was walking to her car when she felt arms around her and a sting to her neck. No time to make a sound or see anything besides darkness. She drifts off and she can swear that she can hear ne me quiite pas or maybe she imagined it.

She walks through the destroyed house and places her things in her bag. Walking out to her car, looking at the time because everything is scheduled. Smiling as she drives away and the house erupts behind her.
