Okay I've had this story in my head forever now, and after a few mental tweaks, I'm finally getting it out. Read and review please. That way I know one way or the other if you think it's crap or not. As always… I don't own these characters. Only my love for them.

Forced Into Seeing Truth

Chapter 1

JJ sat her desk in the BAU bullpen reading over the file she had just gone over with her unit chief Aaron Hotchner. She was still fairly new to the profiling game, and was glad that he trusted her enough to work this case so closely. Reading over the case summary for the umpteenth time in her head, she couldn't quite get over the last bullet point on the page. Sure she had told Hotch she was fine with the terms and of the case and that she would do what was expected. It was her job. Her duty, even. But having to go undercover with Derek Morgan was the last thing she expected.

Glancing down at her watch, she saw that the rest of the team would be in at any moment. Hotch had pulled her into work early to go over the fine points. Sighing, JJ closed the file on her desk. She had known Derek for nearly seven years now, and he was one of the best people she knew. Last year though, things shifted for them. She had left the BAU to work for the Pentagon. Not her choice, but she had always managed to keep in close contacts with her friends and then former teammates.

One night, when they had all found themselves out at the bar, a lot of drinks proved to be too much for JJ and Morgan. When she thought back on it her mind was honestly still a little fuzzy about what exactly happened between them. All she knew that when she woke up the next morning, she was in Derek's bed without her clothes. And he lay right beside her, also without his clothes. It was an awkward morning, as neither could remember how they would up that way. There could be only one conclusion though right? It took both of them to finally get to the point where they could work together without it being weird, and they were now in a place where they laughed and joked with each other like they did before.

Hearing Spencer's voice, she was pulled out of her thoughts. "Hey JJ!" He greeted his best friend. "You're in early."

"Yeah I know." She said smiling at him. "I'm just that dedicated."

The rest of the team laughed at their banter and started up to the round table room. JJ looked back to see Derek approaching her desk. He signaled for her to wait up, so she stood until he was standing in front of her. He smiled down at her, and she her body gave an involuntary shiver. He was easily the best looking agent in the building.

"Good morning blondie." He greeted her with his mega-watt smile. "You met with Hotch early I take it?"

JJ paused and bit her lip before answering him. "Yeah, I did." She said automatically lowering her voice. "I take it you already know the case?"

"I do." He said, also lowering his voice. "Are you okay with everything?"

"Do I have a choice?" She asked him with wide eyes.

Derek felt a blush creep across his face, and he was certain she could see it in spite of his darker skin complexion. "JJ.." he started to say. "I only meant…"

"Morgan it's fine." She held up her hand for him to stop talking. "We're fine."

Derek looked at her for a long moment before finally nodding his head. "Okay, then let's get to work."

Taking the final two seats at the table with the rest of the team, Hotch motioned for Garcia to start the case presentation. It was about three couples that had all been murdered in their homes. They were all from the same high social backgrounds, and had apparently been seeing a sex therapist. The wives were all stabbed multiple times, and the husbands were shot execution style in the head. It wasn't known if this was the work of one unsub or more.

"These women were stabbed multiple times." Rossi noted going through his file. "That's a lot of rage right there."

"It's also interesting that they were all being counseled in their marriages." Spencer added. "This style of killing speaks to our unsub of being a woman who was maybe jealous of the wives for some reason."

"Maybe they had been having affairs with the husbands." Emily reasoned. "That would certainly explain why the men are all shot execution style."

"I agree." Hotch said. "I think the best way to see what these couple were into is infiltration of their world. Their surroundings." He looked pointed at JJ and Morgan who nodded their agreement.

"So what's the plan then?" Rossi asked noting the looks between the three agents.

"We go undercover." Hotch answered simply.

"And by "we" you mean…?" Prentiss asked

"I mean I already talked with JJ and Morgan, and they will go undercover, and the rest of us will oversee."

The whole team's eyes went wide with surprise. Garcia could not stop the faint gasp that came from her lips. JJ shifted uncomfortably in her chair, and Morgan stood up to join his unit chief.

"So you and JJ will go undercover as what?" Spencer asked. "As a couple?"

Derek frowned at Spencer before answering. "Yes, pretty boy, as a couple." He turned his attention to the whole team, taking note of Garcia's death stare. "Look guys, Hotch is right. The best way to draw this unsub out is to be the kind of target he or she is looking for. Hotch, JJ, and I agree that's this is the best way."

"JJ does match up with victimology as far as what these woman look like. Young, light hair, good looking." Emily reasoned. She laughed when Garcia who was now sitting beside her, gave her a nudge with her elbow.

JJ finally spoke up. "I know this isn't something we normally do as profilers, but I need to know that you all have my back on this case. Derek's too."

"Hey kiddo you have our full support." Rossi assured the young agent.

"Garcia…" JJ looked at her friend.

"Oh you know that I have your backs!" She sighed. "I guess you can borrow my chocolate steed for the greater good."

Everyone laughed at Garcia's dramatic statement, and once everyone was settled back into their chairs, they finished going over the case specifics. Morgan and JJ would pose as a married couple in need of a sex therapist. They would use the same therapist the other couples went to in hopes of connecting the dots to lead them to their unsub. The other team members and Garcia would help in surveillance, and with the transference of information.

"Everyone needs to be on top of their games on this one." Hotch said sternly. "We're only going to have one shot at this, and JJ and Morgan's cover cannot be blown."

"Whatever you need." Rossi said. "We've got an unsub to catch."

Everyone stood up to leave the roundtable room, and Morgan and JJ stayed behind to talk with Hotch. He looked at his agents as if trying to read them. Profile them. Morgan was one of the best on his team. He was highly skilled in almost every aspect of being in the FBI. He never said it, but he trusted Derek Morgan with his life. Jennifer Jareau had been a part of his team in more than one aspect for seven years. When she was made to transfer to the Pentagon, he had been at a loss. As the team's media liaison, she had played a vital role in catching lots of serial killers and keeping the press at bay. When she came back to the BAU he was more than thrilled that she had decided to take the necessary classes to become a profiler. Her new role as part of this team was more important now more than ever, and he knew that she would do what it took in any case they had to bring justice to the victims.

"We'll get you two set up, and begin working the case." He paused. "Is everything okay? Do you two have any questions of me?"

JJ was the first to speak up. "It's fine Hotch. Really. Derek and I are good."

"Yeah Hotch, let's get to work." Morgan agreed.

Morgan watched as Hotch and JJ headed back out into the bullpen. His mind couldn't help but flash back to last year. He told JJ that he didn't remember what had happened between them The truth was though, that he remembered every moment. He remembered every kiss. Every touch. Most of all he remembered waking up the next morning, and finding JJ next to him. He hadn't remembered at first, but as the events of that night came back to him, he found himself allowing his mind to go back to that night.

Shaking his head, Derek followed JJ and Hotch. He had to focus on this case. But at the same time, he wanted her to remember that night like he did. Maybe them working so closely together like this would bring back memories. Or feelings. Were there feelings to bring back? I guess they would both find out very soon….
