So this is my first Criminal Minds fanfiction. Of course I chose my favorite character....SPENCER REID!!!!! XD the character might seem a little OOC at first so I apologize but they are getting better (I think). I don't own Criminal Minds....blah blah blah :)


Dr. Spencer Reid walked into the BAU bull pen, early as usual. Savoring his few moments of silence before the res of the team showed up, he was definitely surprised that Hotch's office door opened. Looking up Spencer noticed a young brunette female walking out of the door followed by his boss.

"Thank you for this opportunity Agent Hotchner." She cheerfully spoke.

"I told you, call me Hotch." He said in return shaking her extended hand.

They descended the steps, prompting Spencer to stand up and straighten his sweater vest.

"Ah, I should've expected you'd be here. Stephany, this is Dr. Spencer Reid, our local genius." She stuck out her hand but he kept his at his side, causing an awkward moment for the young girl. She put her hand at her side so she'd stop looking stupid and spoke up: "well I'm Stephany and I guess I'm joining the team." she said with a big smile, fidgeting with the hem of her blouse. Suddenly, the main doors were slammed open and a bleach blonde haired women came running through.

"Is she here? Is she here?" she asked very loudly causing Spencer and Hotch to laugh a bit. As soon as the Women stood in front of the new member she instantly engulfed her with a hug. Releasing her after a small nudge from Hotch she extended her hand.

"I'm Penelope Garcia, everyone just calls me Garcia. I'm the BAU's Technology Queen." She said with a large and cheerful smile. Stephany extended her hand and gently shook it, introducing herself. The door opened again and a group of four people walked in. They all congregated towards the small circle forming.

"Well, well. What do we have here? Hotch my birthday was last month." He said before being slapped by a blonde.

"I'm J.J., the BAU's liaison and this imbecile is Special Agent Derek Morgan. We all just call him Morgan." She explained extending her hand.

"I'm Emily Prentiss, but just call me Prentiss." a brunette said also extending her hand for Stephany to shake.

"And I'm Davis Rossi." an older man said before extending his had as well.

"Well I'm Stephany." She said smiling to all of them.

"Welcome to the team." Hotch said as everyone went to their desks. He led the new member to what she presumed to be her desk. She sat at it and realized that she cornered between a wall and Dr. Reid.

"So I guess we are neighbors." She said to him with a big smile. Quickly glancing at her he replied with an inaudible grunt. She chuckled a bit reading the nervousness he failed to mask. She turned around and placed her go bag under her desk to start working. A small cough came from behind her causing her to turn around. Instantly she was met with Derek Morgan leaning against the wall.

"Oh it's you." she replied with excessive anger.

"I'm sorry about our first meeting so I want to make it up to you."

"Continue." She replied coldly, playing with his ego.

"You're new to the team so I have to take you out to dinner tonight."

"Really? Well then pick me up at eight." She said smiling. Both jumped suddenly when Reid slammed a desk drawer, immediately ruining the moment.

"Sorry." He whispered looking innocently guilty. He hurriedly turned and got back to work. Morgan walked away after exchanging numbers with Stephany. She sat door and glanced over at the doctor who was mumbling to himself angrily.

"If you keep talking to yourself, people are going to think your crazy."

"The question that drives me hazy am-"

"I or the others crazy. Albert Einstein" Stephany cut off the genius surprising him.

"It's one of my favorite quotes. So why do they call you the local genius."

Spinning his chair to face Stephany, he told her his story and about all of his intellectual achievements.

"How old are you?" she asked

"28." He replied smiling, causing Stephany to blush a bit.

"Well I'm 27. I graduated high school when I was 16 and I have a BA in Psychology and Chemistry. I'm working on a PhD in Chemistry and a BA in Sociology." Spencer face showed his shock.

"Wow, you're like me." Spencer muttered. Stephany laughed and yawned slightly. She got out of her chair and headed towards to break room.

"Do you want any coffee?" She asked politely.

"Uh, sure. With sugar, lots of sugar. Please." He replied timidly. Stephany headed towards the break room and Spencer watched her the entire way. He was surprised with himself. Normally his social awkwardness prevents him from considering a girl is attractive. Maybe it was the fact that she was like him broke that wall. Gazing in the direction of the girl in mind he heard someone clear their voice next to him. Looking up Prentiss stared down at him smiling.

"I know that look." She said mockingly.

"Stop profiling me." he replied crossly turning around and ignoring Emily until she left. A few minutes later Stephany returned with the coffee.

"I hope I got it right." She said handing him the cup fretfully. He cautiously took a sip and smiled.

"Perfect. You're the first to get it right." He said smiling at her. She turned towards her computer blushing and gently sipping her coffee.
