Summary: After a terrible war, the world is left in shambles. Food is scarce, disease caused by the bombing and radiation is rampaging around the world, and human race is slowly disappearing. With little hope and modern civilization gone, the once great BAU team is left to travel to the last strong hold of the human race. The journey is long and dangerous, will the team survive?
I've always wanted to write a story based on this idea I had long ago. So I decided to turn it into a fan fiction.
I don't own Criminal minds

Morgan steps outside of the large tent and sees the smog covering the once blue sky. He wasn't sure of the sky would ever be blue again. Now it was a mixture of brown and grey, with hints of black if the weather was bad. The horizon was covered by what was left of their hometown and of the BAU office they once worked at.
The air smelled putrid, like death and pollution put together. It was sickening for anyone but Morgan and the others have soon grown used to the smell.
It has been six months since the bombing and when they started to live in a makeshift tent together since their homes were destroyed. They were all fine and the bomb shelter protected them from the explosions. Since then the majority of the people that survived, including themselves, have been scavenging for food and water. They managed to find a lake and Spencer built a filter to clean the water so they could use it. However many of the people have been dying due to disease and hunger.
Morgan thought about how the world came to this. Why did this happen?
Flashback
Our top story tonight, at the Geneva Convention in London, the leaders of the world had a major argument that sparked tremendous tension between them. They threatened each other with nuclear warfare and now the world is on edge. More later as the story develops.
The BAU office stared at the TV until Strauss turned it off.
"Get back to work and stop listening to their garbage. The world is always fighting, soon it will blow over."
End Flashback
After the bombing started there was complete chaos. The world fell to pieces. People all over the world begged the government to stop and think about the protection of its people. But the pleas fell on deaf ears. Now there was nothing left and the government…basically disappeared. Waiting for the world to die.
"Derek" called Penelope.
Morgan snapped out of his thoughts and saw Garcia stepping out of the tent. She was wearing a large sweatshirt and a long skirt under it. She had to make her clothes by hand and since there was very little material to work with, it wasn't much to wear other then warm, bulky clothing. The same was for the rest of them.
"Yeah, Baby-girl?"
"We have to start looking for food. The sun doesn't stay up forever."
Morgan nodded and went inside the tent to walk the others.
They managed to find a number of warm blankets, but since it was always so cold now, they had to huddle together to keep warm.
Morgan and Garcia woke them up and the rest of them popped their heads out of the mountain of blankets.
Spencer started to cough at bit when he got up. The team was worried that he was developing some sort of sickness, so they let him sleep the longest and have a bit more food and water. Reid usually refused the extra food since he wanted them to also have enough to eat.
They got up and got out of the tent. JJ stayed behind to watch the stuff; she had her gun near here just in case as well.
They walked for a mile until they found a small abandoned plot of soil that had some vegetable growing in it. Finding these was common since the owners usually were found dead or have left.
Garcia and Hotch picked the vegetables, while Morgan and Spencer made baskets out of two watering cans they found in the mounds of trash and debris. Spencer found a large tea pot and a bucket to use to get some water from the lake.
Rossi and Prentiss were out hunting for any wildlife they could find. Eventually they found a wild rabbit and a fox. They killed them a skinned them for their meat.
It was almost nightfall when they got back to the tent. JJ and Hotch started a fire. Morgan cooked the meat and vegetables. They found enough food to feed the team for the day.
"Soon there won't be enough food to feed all of us. The food at the grocery stores has been ransacked and besides it wasn't long until it was found out that the food was contaminated" said Rossi with a snort.
"I agree Dave, we have to do something or we'll soon starve" said Hotch with a grim look.
JJ spoke up, "The people that have been leaving have been saying there is a large settlement in the west. Around California to be exact. I think we should head there. I mean it's not like we have any chance in Virginia."
They sighed, "She is right. We can save up some food and build so wagons" said Prentiss.
"We'll start first thing in the morning" said Garcia.
Spencer kept coughing again.
