A New World

Chapter 1

As ever, I do not own criminal minds they belong to their rightful owners…

This is very AU not something I would normally do but it just won't leave my mind…Thanks to my Nephew. I have had to re-edit as I was not fully happy with where this story originally went.

I sit on the same bench every day, wondering where it all went so wrong, my relationship with the team had fully broken down, my job was taking too much out of me, and the sheer amount of secrets I kept and the amount of cover-ups are eating at my soul.

What would happen if everyone knew the truth?

Would people just carry on as normal or would they panic and turn on each other, because they could not see the difference between the two, who was human and who was not?

Would it really be such a bad thing to allow people to come together and work as one, in protecting and saving lives?

There would always be killers and yes there were some who are monsters, some we had to hide from people because they were totally different, they are I guess mutant though I don't think that is correct.

They were made to be like us with their own abilities, stronger and faster but they were also made to protect. Though some of them turned.

Yes, they have some of our DNA but not all; they can have relationships and are able to reproduce.

They look normal enough but they are not, they are twisted animals that can sense danger and evil, they can crack and hunt a killer faster than most.

Some are made with intelligent beyond anyone's imagination, and some can read thoughts. Their abilities are endless they evolve much like humans do.

However, right now I have to figure out what I am about to do. You see two years ago one mutant I guess, had a breakdown and now is locked up in an asylum not that she is dangerous, but because she is more powerful than anything that we have made.

She was born, she was not meant to be, she has powers that scare us. And from what I have been told, she has never hurt anyone. However, she may have witnessed a crime that sent her into a tailspin; something that cracked her very mind and soul.

The boss thinks I am the best person to talk to her, she fears men, hell she fears everyone.

I have seen pictures of her, her eyes seem haunted. I have never seen eyes like that before, they seem to glimmer in the light, even her hair shines, it is like there is an air around her, as though she has a protection shield, but it doesn't protect her from the thoughts of others.

She hasn't seen the light of day in two years. How can anyone cope being locked in a cell for that long?

Nevertheless, that was her choice and what she wanted. Or so I was told.

She cannot cope with mankind, but if we can use her as a tool and enable her to become what she should be instead of someone who is hiding away from the world. She could do good she could be a someone not a no one.

Is that not what everyone wants? To have some meaning in this world, to help one another, to feel a connection between someone.

But what if we are unable to? What if we cannot stop the fracture that has broken her.

I read that she had witness her parents death, but we don't know what happened, how can someone turn on a mutant let alone kill one.

I mean they self-heal, they should not be able to be killed! They should be able to protect themselves, was there a flaw in the chemicals, is there an imbalance somewhere between the DNA.

Was the radiation not strong enough and more importantly when was this type created? I mean she is in her 30's.

We only started, I guess you can say we only began to make these 20years ago. So how the hell is she in her 30's? Did someone get her file wrong?

And her parents were older, did someone try this before we extracted the correct DNA and the correct mapping in the devolvement of the gene pool, to manipulate it to what we needed it to become?

We need to understand her and what her abilities are, we have never seen one that has as much power as she has. I guess I will have to explain this at some point in the journey we are taking, but right now, I need to figure this out.

We have just caught someone, we know he did it we know he is responsible for the deaths of 20 children but the evidence seems to have disappeared out of sight. We need her strength and her ability and it is my job to get her to come with me.

This could blow up in our faces though, and the boss does not seem to care. The boss does not care if she puts our unit in danger, yet we face danger every day.

Yes, we have the most dedicated minds in the world, but with her powers, we could do more than that, we could bring more people to justice.

But that is only if I can get her to talk to me, but as I sit here on this bench outside the walls of the FBI, I start to question if we are really doing any good, no matter how many we put away no matter how many we end up, I guess you should say how many we kill, they just keep coming.

The team was strong and we had a tight bond; sometimes we cannot understand Reid but there again for a human he is a genius.

Morgan is like the lion that protects us all though he can go at things in a rush in order to save and protect.

Garcia keeps our spirits up when we suffer the blows of death and mayhem every day.

The files that cross our desks the pictures that we see haunt our dreams. Moreover, every so often they spill in to our real world our wakened thoughts.

Hotch is stern and closed off from everyone he keeps everything wound up so tightly inside himself. It is not a surprise he lost his wife and child. Though they are now in protective custody until we find the man who taunts us all.

In addition, this is also why we need her help, we are missing something that connects everything.

Rossi even says sometimes we are out of our depth because we cannot always see the wood for the trees.

We are a family and a close one, we have to be in order to do our jobs in order to catch the scum of this earth. Even though I have distanced myself from them.

Nevertheless, I wonder if we really are doing any good. Maybe she will be able to tell us if we are, and maybe we can get her to join our team. Since that is really, what this little trip is really about.

We need a 7th wheel so to speak, we need a replacement for our last Agent, but can the rest of the team trust enough to work with a mutant, can we allow ourselves to rely on someone who shouldn't have been born.

On the other hand, is she something else completely?
