G-c: Hey guys. I'm trying something different here. This fanfic will be based on a roleplay I am doing with an awesome gal named Hikari. She plays the loveable Spencer and I have taken on JJ and most plotting. Either way, credit shall be given to both of us. ^^ I couldn't have done something so awesome without her, and so now I wish to share what we are doing. And so that's why our 'beat's may be different, you'll probably be able to tell when there are breaks but I think it flows well enough. I will edit if their needs better transitions.

Pair: Spencer Reid and JJ.

Time setting: After Reid met Lila but before the Fisher King. So…near the end of season one.

Warnings: Will have some graphic abuse, sex, maybe cursing in later chapters. Also, we are following the main story line but tweaking some things to use, as in Elle staying and Prentiss coming in for her own secret reasons.

Summary: I can't really describe it since there will be a lot of things going on. You just need to know that these two adorable people are going to find love in unlikely places. Also there will be some eventual side pairs and such. Now enjoy.

Disclaimer: Not mine.

Unspoken Love & Magic

It was late at night. The majority of people had gone home and Jennifer "JJ" Jareau was sitting in her office going over cases. She glanced over five case files and read them over. Picking the cases that the team would take on was always an emotional task for her. She had to read through such sadness and pleas for help and judge which ones were in the direst need. The ones she didn't pick often haunted her. The blond finally decided upon a case in Sacramento, California. It seemed women were being abducted and at each home had a picture of a doll. It was rather chilling since the Sac PD thought the abductor might be using the women as human dolls. Whatever was going on, had to be addressed as soon as possible since the women were being abducted every week and so far it had been four weeks since the crime started. She got up and went to go make copies for everyone.

She would show the case to everyone tomorrow in the morning. She walked into the copy room and waited for about five minutes. Once everything was done, JJ headed back up to her office and sat down. She readied the files for her teammates and set them aside and started to check her e mail and made plans for the jet to leave at ten in the morning, she also told the PD in Sacramento to be ready for them around 1 or so in the afternoon. She and her team would fly in and then rent the usual FBI black SUVs to get around. JJ rubbed her temples as she glanced through some old soccer photos of herself and smiled. She checked the time and saw it was half passed ten at night.

Knowing, she shouldn't be dwelling on her personal nostalgia so she sat back and wondered if she should head home or see if the Sac PD would reply or not. Deciding to stay a little longer, she looked to her desk and in fact in found herself getting tired. JJ moved and leaned over her desk and used her arms as a pillow and closed her blue eyes. With her busy busy life she never had time for romantic interests. It was one of the many sacrifices that came with working for the FBI. She started to doze off, not really thinking anyone from her team was around. If they were, she would have probably gone home as to not worry them or get lectured, especially from Hotch.

So many cases, so many people being injured, killed, hospitalized, even going for psychiatric help. Sometimes Reid wondered about his job, though for the most part, he enjoyed it. Connecting the dots, gathering the clues, the ultimate goal was solving the puzzle, he enjoyed using his brain to figure out the scenarios, yes at times it could be mind boggling, even frustrating, but it was worth it to him. They'd find out who the unsub was, track him down, get enough evidence and arrest him, though at times the capture was difficult it was still worthwhile for it meant that crazy lunatic was no longer on the streets to cause more harm. It had been a rather long week, a new case that had come up Monday, took Gideon's team quite a bit to figure out, Reid had managed to solve it, the team had finished what they had to do and now they were just waiting for JJ to pick out another case for them to go on.

Even though the case was solved, Spencer couldn't help but feel that something was missed, something kept nagging at him to go in and check out the files one last time, a type of closure per say, he was searching for. Having parked his car in the parking lot he entered the building, using his keycard and passcode to get to the higher leveled floors of the building until he entered the office and over to his cubicle. Moving the computer he turned it on, signing in and began to search through the documentations that he had saved on disc to scan over during the process of the investigation. After looking over everything, jotting down notes on a pad and paper he shut off the computer and pulled out the closing folder on the case and began to scan over it. He had finally gotten the closure he needed though it took an hour he did it and was finally at peace.

Slowly arising to his feet, he pushed his chair back in, though a light caught his attention "Who could be here at this hour?" the male questioned himself as he headed off to that office. As he walked down the hallway he realized the light was coming from JJs office, she was still here? That wasn't good, making his way over to the doorway he peered in to find her fast asleep on her desk. A look of worry spread across his face as she stepped onto the room, rounding her desk he stood behind her chair and placed a gentle hand upon her back as he leaned in "JJ" came his voice in a whisper, though he wanted to wake her he didn't want to spring it on her, that would be back for the nerves. Giving a gentle shake to her he whispered her name again "JJ … wake up" came his voice a bit louder though still at a soft level.

The woman wasn't really dreaming, nor was she having any terrible nightmares. She was just in a comforting dark abyss. She shifted as she felt someone and heard her name being called. At first she was truly puzzled, she sat up and wiped her mouth and looked to see Spencer. "Oh, Reid." She said and smiled a bit. "What are you doing here? I thought you went home." She asked him as she started to straighten up her desk. She managed a sleepy weak smile as she sat back and attempted in look less like a mess. She knew he would probably ask her the same question but she had a good enough answer whereas she was sure he didn't.

She had been working with Hotch and Gideon for over a year and everyone was already close, like a family. And for some reason she didn't see Reid as a brother or a cousin. She shook her analogies out of her head as she began to contemplate on tomorrow. The case was still sticking to her mind and she knew even after it was closed, it would still be on her mind. She didn't know how the team went through work day in and day out, with the pressure on their shoulders. She really admired them.

Watching her as she came to, the male gave a smile and took a few steps back to give her space. As she spoke he gave a smile "Heh… well you know from the last case it took awhile to get done it merely finished this afternoon as a matter of fact. I … I couldn't help but feel that I was over looking something" he began with his hand gestures while he explained "From finding out, then to gathering the information, there was also picking up on what type of person this unsub really was. Then to giving him the bait, capturing him. I just felt that with everything that had went on with this case, that I was missing something." He gave a sigh before looking to her "I had to just come and double check my work is all. Why are you here late?" he asked while leaning back against the wall and sliding his hands into his khaki pants while looking to her before turning his gaze to the items upon her desk "I take you're still here because you're picking out a new case for us I'm sure… found anything that you think is worthwhile?"

"They're all worthwhile Spence." She told him once he was done with his usual ramble. "Well you helped solve yet another case, you all did a good job. You shouldn't worry so much. That brain of yours needs its rest.' JJ smiled as she glanced to the prepared folders that she had set aside. "And yes, I picked out a case in California. You could use a little sun." She said to him. It was mid autumn but it still was pretty in the western state. She decided she better head home and try and rest up. JJ gathered her things and looked to him. "I guess we should both head home, huh?" She commented.

Tomorrow would be yet another day of getting to know a new surrounding and helping out the people who needed them. Sometimes JJ felt her job was one no one wanted to fill, and at selfish times she felt she was underappreciated. But then she reminded herself that what she was truly the most important job since she got everything started on cases. JJ picked u her coat and her small briefcase. She decided to leave the folders for tomorrow's case at her office.

Hearing her correct him by saying they were all worthwhile the male gave a nod "Yes they are … my apologies … I'm just a tad worn out with all of this" as she got up, he gave her a smile before heading for the door "California, you say? We haven't been there in awhile... err I mean we as in the team, of course" he spoke with a nervous chuckle before turning his attention out into the hallway. As she suggested they go home, Reid turned his attention back to her and gave a nod "Yes that's a very good idea, sleep right now would the best thing. Since tomorrow we'll be busy with this case that you've chosen for us" as she picked up her briefcase and slid on her coat, Reid stepped out into the hallway "I think it's best that I walk you to your car, never know what could happen from the elevators to the car. It's always best to be on the safe side" he smiled to her and waited for her before heading off.

"Yeah sure…" She said, amused but she was used to his odd side and she found it a bit endearing. JJ started to walk out with him, she turned off her light and locked her door and then continued to walk down the few steps and then across the pen where Derek and Spencer and Elle worked. JJ walked out of the door and held it open for Spencer and pressed the down button and waited."So maybe we'll each get six or so hours of sleep." She said, sometimes wondering how they lived off of so little sleep and coffee. It couldn't be good for their health. Once the elevator pinged, she stepped in and held the door for Reid. She was a little hungry after working so late into the night so she was thinking of eating something before bed, even if it wasn't recommended.

Spencer walked with her, down the hall and across the pen where he worked with the others. Making a quick stop near his cubicle he picked up his jacket and slipped it on then headed over to her as she held the elevator door open, stepping in with her he glanced to her and gave a smile before nodding "Yes, sadly only that little for the more the brain rests, the more functional the body will be in the morning. Caffeine is a good jolt, though its never a match for natural sleep, not to mention, too much caffeine can really mess up the nerves" he gave a slight laugh "Though its something we have to depend on in this profession of ours. Little sleep and a whole lot of work, though each time we finish a case, I feel great. Knowing that I helped keep a lunatic off the streets and more people would be able to sleep safe."

She stood there and smiled as she listened. JJ pressed her floor and waited for Spencer to do the same but then she remembered that they were on the same floor. Soon the elevator reached their destination and they pair walked out. "You're right." She said. She sometimes got annoyed with his facts but she didn't mind because she knew he sometimes saw it as a burden that set himself apart from other people. "Well…there's my car…" JJ said, looking to the simple light blue Camry. She didn't think he would really walk her to her car since she assumed he needed to head home as soon as he could.

As the elevator dropped them off at their destination and the pair walked out together, Spencer smiled as she pointed out her car "You have a good night JJ. I'll see you tomorrow" he spoke with a wait and waited patiently for her to get into her car, he wanted to make sure that she was safe before he headed off to his. Once she drove off was when he moved from his spot, down the parking lot to his vehicle. Getting in he started it up and drove off, heading for home, to get some well needed rest. With JJ staying up this late, he knew that case was something big and would need all the rest he could get to be refreshed in the morning.

The next morning, JJ awoke somehow a bit happier and more positive than usual. She put on an aqua blouse and then some faded blue jeans and let her down. JJ ate some toast and brushed her teeth. The liaison then headed for her car and headed into work. It was usually a fifteen to twenty minute drive. In the background, she let some pop play in the background. It was Brittney Spear's new single three and it was pretty catchy too. JJ arrived and parked in her usual spot and looked around to see if anyone else was in yet. It was 7:22 in the morning, and she was often one of the first to arrive.

The night drive home was well, the minute Reid arrived home he knocked out instantly and slept as peacefully as he could through the night. As morning came his alarm going off at seven, it gave him time to shower and get ready for the day. Eating a bit of breakfast, he gathered up his things for the office and took up his jacket and car keys, heading on out to his car. It wasn't that far or even that long a drive, Reid pulled into the building parking lot and parked his car a bit closer to the elevators this time. Getting off and locking it he walked towards the elevator and pushed the button. Waiting patiently he looked about the parking lot and soon spotted JJ's car. Thinking back to the night before, he smiled. As the doors of the elevator opened he pushed his floor number and headed on up. Jennifer was already up and Hotch was in his office, one by one everyone was arriving. She was standing by the coffee pot, pouring some into a mug. She sipped it and saw Spencer walk in. She just glanced back to her coffee and tried to get herself to stay awake yet somehow she was still feeling like her eyes were made of weights. She had no idea Derek and Elle were plotting something. As he walked in onto the floor he said his normal good mornings to the staff that was there, then made his way to his cubicle, sitting down and turning on his computer as he slid off his jacket. Once he was situated at his desk with everything up and running, he needed his morning coffee, pulling out his cup from his desk, he gave it a thorough rinse before heading over to the coffee pot and began to fill his cup "Good Morning, JJ" he spoke to her with a smile "I hope you slept well last night"

"Morning Reid." She replied with her usual smile. "I tried to get some sleep...as much as I could..." She said slowly and leaned against the counter, holding her cup between her hands. JJ sipped and inhaled the nice aroma. "How did you sleep?" She asked as Elle arrived last and headed over to the coffee pot as well and poured herself some.

"Hey Reid." Elle said.

Taking up a plastic spoon he stirred the contents within the coffee before looking to her, giving her a nod "Well that's good though, that you did manage to get a few hours of sleep. I myself got about five which is better than most nights." he nodded to himself and lifted the cup to his lips and took a sip. As Elle approached for coffee he gave her a smile "Morning, Elle how are you this morning?" it was his polite manner to greet his fellow workers though he tried the majority of the time to keep himself from going into his logical babble for many of his co-workers either ignored him, told him to shut up in their own words of course, or walked away.

Elle looked between Reid and JJ and grinned and walked back to her desk near where Derek was working. JJ blinked a few times. "Anyway...I need to gather the team." She said. "Hey guys, meet in the conference room." She said, it was eight now and she left Reid and went into her office. JJ snagged her stack of folders and head back down towards the conference room in the back of the BAU HQ. Derek, Hotch, Gideon and the others soon gathered around the round table and seated themselves. "Okay....so this next case in northern California...it appears someone is leaving odd dolls behind at houses where several women have been abducted." She started off and picked up the remote to the monitor.

Reid quirked a brow and watched as she left, looking to JJ as she spoke he gave a nod as she walked off, he headed to his cubicle and picked up his normal notepad in which he used to jot down notes during their beginning meetings on an assignment to be able to get as much info on it from the get go as possible. Making his way into the conference room he joined the others in his usual spot and placed his notepad down and immediately began to write a few key points as JJ spoke.

Now for a whole month, women have been abucted...no bodies have turned up...the Sac PD has contacted us with a few chilling theories...one of them being that this unsub might be keeping their bodies and using them as human dolls." JJ said.

"Yeah that is creepy...and we need to act fast." Derek said as he looked through the folder and looked up at the monitor to see all four women, of different appearances, taken.

"When do we leave?" Hotch asked.

"In an hour and a half." JJ replied, wrapping up quickly.

After jotting down the information needed he then stuck the adhesive side of the post it pad into the folder as he opened it, looking at its contents thoroughly while slowly sliding into his own little world jotting a few things on the pad of paper without even looking at it as he scanned each photo. Taking up his cup of coffee he took a drink but didn't once tear his eyes from his task at hand, this was going to be a rather interesting puzzle for him. Soon enough all of them were seated on the jet and traveling to the golden gate state. Elle was busy reading, as was Reid. Derek was chatting with Garcia and Hotch and Gideon were talking amongst themselves. And as for JJ, she was laid out in the back, sleeping. It seemed her heavy eyes finally got the best of her. They soon landed and Hotch glanced to Reid who was nearest to JJ, "Could you wake her up?" He asked as they de-boarded the plane and saw the two SUVs waiting for them on the airstrip.

As they boarded the jet from the time he sat down to the time that Hotch interrupted him he was reading, trying to figure out as much as he could about the case, trying to see what he could catch about the unsub with what he was given. Though it was the same thing it seemed he couldn't get anything else other than what he already had with this. As the jet came to a landing, Reid looked to Hotch and gave a nod "yes I'll wake her up" as they headed off the jet, Reid went over to JJ and knelt down placing again a gentle hand upon her "JJ ... we're here. wake up" he whispered to her, not wanting to shock her awake.

Was it her or did Spencer seem to be around whenever she woke up? She got up and nodded. "Thanks...sorry." She just said and blushed a little. She got up and got off with Spencer. Derek, Spencer, and her all got into one SUV while Elle, Hotch and Gideon got in the other. Derek was driving them, following Hotch, to the PD. On the drive over, it wasn't that conversational.

"I can't believe it's not even that cold here." Derek said as JJ sat next to him while Spencer had the back to himself.

"Yeah." JJ nodded as she looked around. "This place looks boring..." She just said though it seemed they all didn't want to think about how the case was going to go, even for a little bit.

As she woke up the male smiled and walked with her out to the vehicle as she got in the front with Derek he slid into the backseat and pulled up his laptop and began to enter the information of the case in from his sticky notes and from the file folder that JJ had passed out, he mainly remained quiet while the clacking of the keys was all that was heard from the backseat. A while later, they arrived at the PD and were working on the case. So far trace came back on the dolls left behind. Some sort of fluid drug and they asked a medical professional and they said it was used to sedate and paralyze people but not kill them.

"So there's a chance these women are alive?"

"If you consider being a prisoner in your own body alive..." Hotch muttered as he looked with Gideon, trying to find a reason why the unsub picked the girls he was picking. "And if the unsub really collecting them as dolls...they are clearly delusional and also have some idea of medical training." He said.

"I think I got it." JJ said suddenly, which was something she hardly did on cases but she did help out. Everyone looked to her. "Each one of these women resembles an appearance of a doll from an old collection my mom used to buy off of the tv...." She said slowly.

"Hey yeah now that you mention it..." Elle nodded and thought. "You're right...they're the same!"

"What was this company called?" Gideon asked.

"I don't remember..." JJ said and looked to Elle.

"Well which 'set' is missing?" Gideon asked.

"Ummm...." Elle looked to JJ who was also drawing a blank. "I can call Garica and ask hed to run a search on dolls being sold during set years when I think they were running, come on JJ." Elle offered and motioned JJ off into the other room to call. Derek watched them and laughed,

"Women and their dolls...." He said and glanced to Reid, he didn't expect the nerd to know much about toys or have a typical childhood. "I guess they come in handy."

After inputting the data and soon after arriving, Reid was situated as a table, typing in all that the ones around him were saying, it seems he didn't have to put his expertise in it much, only on where to track down the sick unsub. It disgusted him, a person stealing women and making them into his own personal collection, male or female, the unsub was going down. Reid had been typing away though as JJ spoke he was a tad taken back by her response. Slowly lifting his gaze he sat there listening to him, while typing as he kept his gaze upon the two as they spoke to each other then the rest of the team. Making it a key factor of 'set' 'doll collection'. Minimizing his screen, he opened up the internet and began to do his own search, come up with many but none seemed to resemble the dolls left a t the crime scenes, after about ten minutes of searching he stopped and decided the girls should handle this one. Slowly opening up the software he had opened previous he added a few more notes before putting the machine on standby and arising to his feet. "I hope Garcia is able to find the information that we need" he spoke while heading towards the doorway where the girls went into, peering into the room to try to keep an ear out on how the progress was going.

"Hey my baby can solve any case." Derek laughed with a grin.

"Let's go give a profile." Gideon said as he and Hotch and Derek walked into the main room of the PD where most of the cops were gathered. "This is one of the most dangerous kinds of unsub. They are obsessed, a collector. They are delusional. They won't stop until they have what they want. They are self centered and probably lead a dull life. They probably don't have any friends if they are still playing with dolls at this age. We believe they are around late twenties to late thirties." He said and glanced to Derek, "Since this is your area of expertise, why don't you give them a few tips on this type of unsub." Gideon said and Derek took the floor and began to talk but as he did JJ and Elle walked over.

"We got something. So they're from the Spoking Doll Company, they went out of business ten years ago. But we asked Garcia to cross check their past employees and most frequent buyers for anyone connected to a medical profession and we came up with two people." JJ said as she handed Hotch and Gideon the files on them.

"Ian Winston." Hotch said.

"And Eliza Corbin." Gideon said. "Alright, we're going to have to split up and track these two down."

"What do you want us to do?" Derek asked.

"Elle, me, and you will go to Eliza." Gideon said.

"And me, Reid and JJ will go see Ian." Hotch chimed in. "We'll need you," He looked to the PD officers. "as backup, we don't want to spook either one of these people. It is rare they are armed, but they are dangerous and they need to be taken in alive. They have sick out looks on life. Let's hope one of these people is our unsub." Hotch said as he got his keys. JJ looked to Reid and followed after Hotch

Reid turned his attention to Gideon, as the order was given; he took up his things and followed them all to the room. Taking a seat, with his laptop in hand he opened it and began to type at it once again but as soon as he was finished he closed it and sat back listening to everything that was being said making mental notes on how the unsub could be and so forth. As the groups were split into teams, Reid slowly arose to his feet and headed out with Hotch and JJ, he wasn't really sure what to say, for a pep talk was not needed and if he spoke what would be obviously known or even went into further detail he'd get ignored, so he simply remained quite for the majority of the time, though from time to time on the car ride over he'd say a few things about the case that would pop into his head and elaborate on it just making sure they had a thorough idea of what type of person they were going to be dealing with. He was satisfied, though he knew at times he could get on peoples nerves, he simply wanted everything done as correct as possible so no lives would be lost. They reached the house and Hotch drew his weapon, as did JJ. "I'll take the front. You two go through the back and be careful." Hotch said to them as he went to the front door and knocked, "Open up, FBI." He said and got no answer.

Meanwhile JJ went with Reid to the back door. She glanced to Reid and looked around. She placed a hand and handle and pushed it open, and then walked in with her gun at the ready. It didn't take long for them to arrive to the house, as Hotch gave the orders; Reid withdrew his gun from its holster and walked right beside JJ. As she pushed the door open and walked in, he followed immediately behind her, but moved up right beside her with his gun as the ready as they roamed around looking for any sign of the suspect. He had to admit, his heart was pounding, not due to fear, but due to the adrenaline rush that was coming on due to the suspense.

Jennifer looked around and headed for the hallway and looked through the first door and stared in horror. There were the four women, sitting around a table, all hooked up to IVs. They looked like they were having a tea party. It was a scene out of a kid's imagination. JJ walked forward and looked closer, She reached for her phone to alert the others but someone grabbed her around the neck from behind. "You'll make a pretty doll to my collection." Ian smirked as he choked her, his dirty lips pressed against the back of her neck. JJ froze with fear and felt herself growing weaker by the moment, her mind calling out for Hotch or Reid.

G-c: I shall stop there and see if anyone wants to know what happens to our lovely damsel in distress. R and R or course and any ideas you have for us to do, we're all ears. And yes, I based this case off of the Uncanny Valley episode. It was a very good one.
