Author's Note: I got this sudden urge to write this fanfic while I was watch Criminal Minds. I'll probably end up doing an InuYasha + Criminal Minds fanfic. I'm thinking of drawing Derek and Spencer. Those two are just so adorable and my heart goes out to both of them right now because I'm in the season where Maeve dies. ;-; It hit me in the feels people. I believe I'm going to start this off in season 8 or 9 but like a while after Maeve died. I'm going to try to make the romance go slow and steady. Anyway, here's the first chapter of SoS.

Character Description:

OC: Name: Astrid Livían. Age: 27. Career: New Profiler in the BAU (maybe not for the first few chapters). Before that, Astrid was in Terrorism, Violent Crimes Against Children, and Cyber Crimes. She has one blue eye and one green eye. She has long, straight, (natural) pure white hair that reaches her butt. She's about 5'2, almost 5'3. Astrid has snakebites that she got when she was younger. Astrid also has tattoos. Her bangs are cut at an angle, framing her large eyes. She has pale skin despite the fact that her mother is a pureblood Japanese U.S. citizen. (I consider making the mother Scandinavian or something similar but decided to go with Japanese)

Astrid has amazing computer skills. She loves to cook. Astrid has two dogs and a cat. Her dogs, a female Husky named Shira and a male German Shepherd named Ichigo (yes I took the names from Bleach. Can you figure out who? Astrid named them after her favorite characters in Bleach). Her cat's name is Grimmjow, Grimm for short. She is a huge anime nerd.

Astrid has a degree in Psychology, Sociology, Mathematics, . She has an abnormally high IQ, registered as a genius. Her IQ is 253. Everyone in her family is in Law Enforcement and has an IQ of at least 190. She has an eidetic memory. Her father helped to find the BAU with Rossi when he was 20. He left the FBI and went to work for Interpool a decade later where he met Astrid's mother.

She entered the FBI Academy when she was 20 and became an agent at 21. However, after a few cases, Interpool pulled her and had her work for them for three years. There, she was groomed to replace her mother who was retiring from her position; after her third year, her father took her place so long as Astrid promised that she would help on any cases Interpool might need of her if she was able to. Her mother now works in Homeland Security. Astrid and her mother know Emily.

Due to that, she had to learn multiple different languages. She knows and speaks French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Latin, and Russian fluently. Her father is German and Russian

Astrid blocks the punch aimed for her face and swiftly slugs her opponent in the face. The guys stumbles back a few feet, dazed at the stregnth behind the tiny woman's punch. Astrid sweeps his legs out from under him, pinning him to the floor. "Good job Astrid," Her father says as he claps. "Though I expected you to take him down much faster. So what's wrong? Whenever you're this slow, something's always wrong."

Astrid's father, Norman Livían, has salt and pepper hair with a neatly trimmed beard. His calculating blue-grey eyes show his concern for his youngest and beloved daughter as he stares at her. His weathered, tanned skin gives him the appearance of being 37 at the most when he's actually 49.

"It's," She pauses, seeing the look on her father's face. Sighing, Astrid replies, "It's him." Instantly, her father's expression tightens with anger.

"Astrid, how long has he been trying to contact you?" He asks calmly.

"Since he went in prison," She answers truthfully.

"So, he's been doing this for 9 years and you haven't once thought to call me and tell me?" Astrid shifts uneasily at his cool tone.

"Well, you're always doing something for Interpool and I didn't want to add more stress on your plate." Norman's expression softens. Pulling her into a hug, he kisses her forehead.

"I'm sorry. I just can't believe that Emiko never knew that bastard of a step-father was molesting and torturing you and letting his buddies do the same," Norman whispers into Astrid's hair.

"In her defense, Interpool was always having her do long cases that lasted monthes and sometimes even years She couldn't have known. I just wish you two hadn't divorced," Astrid murmurs.

"Astrid, he did those awful things to you ever since your mother married him when you were five. The only reason he stopped when you were 17 is because he was put in jail for his crimes," Norman sternly says.

"I know Dad, believe me."


Astrid walks into headquaters, gnawing on her bottom lip. She had gotten a call late last night, requesting her to come in early. 'I wonder what's got the boss's panties in a twist. His tone sounded strained and irritated,' Astrid thinks. She walks over to his office, knocking on the door.

"Come in," Her boss says in a clipped tone. Taking a calming breath, Astrid walks in. Looking up from his papers, William Livington glances up at her. "Sit down," He says, gesturing towards the chairs. She complies, waiting for him to continue.

"I know the sole reason you joined the FBI was for one job in particular," He begins after a pregnant pause. He looks her directly in the eye. "And I'm sad to say that you've been offered it. While I'm happy you'll be getting your dream job, I'm sad to see you leave. You've been an invaluable agent and have helped to close many cases in many different departments, not just mine." Astrid breaks out into a grin.

"Truly? I've been offered a position as a Profiler in the BAU Unit?" Astrid asks, excitement obvious in her voice. William chuckles, nodding at her childlike joy. She breaks out into a wide grin. "Thanks you." William smirks.

"I had nothing to do with this. It was all you my dear," William replies. "It's all because of your hard work and dedication." William grabs a file off his desk.

"You told them I accept, right?" Astrid asks. William looks at her.

"Of course. However, you won't be an official part of the team for a bit yet. You have to get settled in and everything. You've been given six weeks to find a place and get settled in. Then you're an official profiler. We'll miss you Agent Livían," William says, shaking Astrid's hand.

"Thank you sir, for everything," Astrid says before leaving.


3 Weeks Later


"I can't believe my baby girl is going to be a profiler," Norman says as he hugs her close to him. Astrid hugs him back before pulling away.

"Relax Dad, I'll be fine. I'll call you whenever I can, okay?" She reassures him. He nods, dabbing at his teary eyes. "I'm just lucky to have found this apartment. It's decent sized and everything."

"Do you need help bringing the boxes in?" He asks. Astrid nods sheepishly.

"Yeah, if you don't mind."

"Don't forget to give me your address," Norman says.


Many Hours Later


Astrid collapses on her couch, exhausted from moving her belongings. She had said goodbye to her father earlier that day. She looks at her watch, surprised to see that it's already passed 11 p.m. Looking at all the boxes, she sighs. 'Fuck it. I'll do it tomorrow,' Astrid thinks. Getting up, she goes and takes a shower.

Afted getting out the shower, she gets dressed. Yawning, Astrid heads to her bed. Turning her music on shuffle, she lays down. She quickly drifts off to sleep listening to Blown Away by Carrie Underwood.

Author's Note: I'm going to start trying to update on the weekends or something guys, okay? It's my junior year and all so I decided to try to follow a schedule for this so I can do homework, study, and whatever else I may need to, ya know? Though I might be able to sneak a chapter in during the week every now and then.

Dunno how many weeks passed between "#6" and "Route 66" but yeah. I'm going to say 5. Astrid will come in during the episode "Route 66".
